Stay or Walk Away (Feat. Bobaganoosh)

you said you'd wait forever

but is forever long enough for you?

you said it wouldn't take forever

buts what's a boy to do?

tick tock goes the clock

all you're doing is coming and going

i'm getting tired of this flip flop

it's time for your decision

it's stay or walk away, babe,

it's stay or walk away

and you should know

I'm ready to shut this door

lock it up, throw the key away

your side of the mattress

is staying just like new

i can't think of quitting you

but I might just buy a twin

what's the point in holding on to what never gets used?

you're never here with me at night

and that half of the bed gets so cold

without you by my side

why can't you just make up your mind?

you know you're welcome to sleep here tonight

and everything will be just fine

it's an open invitation

to escape from all of your frustrations

you're scared of separation

and i swear I taste the desperation...

if you'd just stay the night

stay all the thoughts inside your head

and just stay with me tonight

and everything would be just fine

but all i hear is the

tick tock of the clock

all you're doing is coming and going

I'm getting tired of this flip flop

it's time for your decision

it's stay or walk away, babe,

it's stay or walk away

and you should know

I'm ready to shut this door

lock it up, throw the key away

what's out there for you

beyond that porchlit door?

is there something that you'd want even more

than my arms wrapped around you?

it's about time, dear

you make up your mind, for fear

i'll make it up for you...

I'm tired of hearing the

tick tock of the clock

I'm done with the coming and going

and with this flip flopping

it's time for your decision

it's time for one of us to make up our mind

it's stay or walk away, babe,

it's stay or walk away

and you should know

I'm shutting this door

locking it up, throwing the key away

thank you, Tomas Kalnoky, that's what I needed to hear.

here's to sleeping pills and potions

and all the nights you forgot about me

all the nights you forgot about a boy

that you're not in love with any more

you've got me feeling my worst again

and you didn't even try this time

you've got this blade against my skin

and you're not even pushing and i'm already bleeding

Im already bleeding again

how long before I break?

I've been counting the minutes and counting the grievances

you build me up to watch me fall

and take all my heartache along with the grace of nothing at all

i'm nothing at all

you've got me feeling my worst again

and you didn't even try this time

but I've got my drinks and all my sins

you're not even pushing and I'm already falling

I'm already falling again

here's to hoping I even the score

I wish I was half as capable of what you are

but I'm just lying on the floor

desperate as ever and dying to hear you more

and I told you not to worry 

not to worry about me

don't you worry about a boy 

who you're not in love with any more

you've got me feeling my worst again

and you're not even trying this time

desperate as ever, like I said

I'm holding tight to this pen

hoping it explodes and leaves lying on the floor

you said you were making plans

and I didn't even realize before the end

that it was too late to see your face

or to see me ever standing again

Dear _____________, Love, Me

i could swear that I don't care
but you know that I can't lie to you
and I'll swear up and down that you won't hear
but I really hope you do
and I'll pretend these lines don't mean shit and swear
that you won't care...
but I really hope you do
it's nothing new, but nothing hurts like you

I've made myself this hospital bed
out of your memories and words you said
it's falling apart and half a mess
but that's ok because I am too
I've made myself this I.V. drip
out of nicotine and the words you skipped
it's running out and such a mess
but that's ok because I am too

the stories here are the same
you can find them anywhere
I've copied the words from the back of your hands
and the ones you liked to say to me
but it's all the same, as you can see
I've just put your name in the space that's blank
It's nothing new, but nothing hurts like you

I've made myself this hospital bed
out of your memories and words you said
it's falling apart and half a mess
but that's ok, because I am too
I've made myself this I.V. drip
out of nicotine and the words you skipped
it's running out, and such a mess
but that's ok, because I am too

i know you know how this feels
because I did the same to you
so this song is just as much for you to sing
as it is about all the things you did
it's just as much for you to curse
as it about the way your lips pursed
right before all the nights we never kissed
it's nothing new, but nothing hurts like you

I've made myself this hospital bed
out of your memories and words you said
it's falling apart and half a mess
but that's ok, because I am too
I've made myself this I.V. drip
out of nicotine and the words you skipped
it's running out, and such a mess
but that's ok, because I am too

i made myself this dependence
out of the things you did and the way you danced
it's going strong, it's hurting less
but that's not ok, because I'm not blessed with you
I've made myself this way to sleep
out of benadryl and the things you keep
to yourself, well it's been a week
and that's not ok, because I'm not asleep with you

it's nothing new, but nothing hurts like you
it's not ok, nothing hurts like the things you say
it's nothing new, because nothing hurts like you
and I'll pretend these lines don't mean shit and swear
that you won't care...
but I really hope you do
it's nothing new, but nothing hurts like you

Relapse

You used to be worth more than this to me
but now your voice just isn't enough
to stop me from becoming me
and I’m sure I’m just in the rough

surprise, I wasn't who you thought I was
surprise me, I'll show you how we do it

I'm more likely to try this than I've let on
I'm sorry if you don't like it but
you've really got no say in this part...
surprise me, I'll show you how we do it do it...

oh, sweet chemical frustration
it's ok, I said, we're all doing just fine
and as I tipped another bottle back
I started to believe the things I said...

when I remember all the times you stopped the bleeding
I think it's safe to say you've saved my life
but now you're no longer mine...
and I can't let you interfere this time

surprise, I wasn’t what you thought you want
surprise me, I’ll show you how we play it around here…

but don't you worry, dear
I hope you hold no fear
I made sure the needle was clean
right before I went to sleep
it's not a big deal
so don't worry dear,
close your heart, hold no fear
I made sure the edge was sharp
right before I called you back

what a big surprise, I wasn’t what you thought you want
what a big surprise, nothing’s the way you said because you can’t again

so we decided we should never have started
because now we just have to stop
i guess that's just the way that this goes
it's just unfair from my eyes to yours
but i just dreamt this recipe

oh, daring chemical concoction
We’ll try two parts grief and one part jealousy
A dash of sweet vindication
And drink it down with the rest of your memories





and if you got the news
some boy you knew had died tonight
would I see you in the pews?
would you bring him and ruin our last goodbye?

hey baby thanks a lot,
surprise, that's what I thought.

Lapse

Thanks a lot
I've been losing from the start
I never had a chance in this game you played
the one where you got into my chest and stole my, heart

Well thanks a lot
I'd like you to know what I thought you meant to me
or what I thought I meant to, you
But I guess we didn't mean anything from the, start

And now we're saying maybe we should never have started
instead of never having stopped
and isn't that the way that this, goes?
it's just unfair from my eyes to, yours
your baby browns got nothing against
your baby browns have got nothing against it

Well thanks a lot
you called my bluff
and i'm not capable of half the hurt I'd, want
to see you in sweetie
and unfair as it may, be
you just forgot to remember me
and that's all there is to, this
and that's all there is to see

Well thanks a lot
I went from top to bottom
in no time at all
But don't you worry, dear
I hope you hold no, fear
I made sure the blade was clean before I, cut
and it's not as deep as it seems
it's just red from all the, oxygen
oh what lovely chemistry
that's lead us so far astray
and it's not as bad as it seems

Hey baby thanks a lot
I smoked all my pain away
thinking in reds and blacks has lead my head, away
and my lungs ache from all the extra oxygen
that I'm letting back into my system
I ran away from you
and made it to the bottom in just no time at all
But I don't think you can see
even though it's not as deep as it seems
you're just not looking in the right direction at all
so I guess it's as deep as it seems

And now we're saying maybe we should never have started
instead of never having stopped
and isn't that the way that this, goes?
it's just unfair from my eyes to, yours
your baby browns got nothing against
your baby browns have got nothing against it

I'm dangerous in second best

I don't know if there's enough to go around
but I'm hoping you'll take from me what you can get
what's left of me besides the sound
but here's to you getting what you sent

and oh my
you're looking beautiful tonight
at least I'm assuming because I haven't seen you smiling in a while
and oh my you're looking so extravagant tonight
and I'm not all knowing
but I doubt he's at all disappointed in tonight

I'm holding out for you
but you've got other plans
other plans for me and you
Your words were mixed up in the telephone line
because you said something about the future
and me and you and love
and and I'm tearing out my sutures
so can someone sew me back up please?
sew me back up please

until I arrive
I just hope that you're happy
until you wake
I hope you're thinking of me
because I know that in the daylight you see his smiling face
and everything is just so bright
and so I'll talk to you tomorrow night

this smoke is so thick
and the embers are charring my skin
they're writing your name in
cursive across the the same place
where you held me
held my hand and looked in my eyes
and now there's nothing but smoke and cries
in the place where you once said you loved me most of all

until I arrive
I just hope that you're happy
until you wake
I hope you're thinking of me
because I know that in the daylight you see his smiling face
and everything is just so bright
and so I'll talk to you tomorrow night

Here, I wrote you a song. Knock yourself out

he's sitting in his bed
he's got this story in his head
this story about a girl
and the whirlwind
that brought them both to an end

they're all poised just right
all the characters
and all their plights
but the story's about his girl
just enough to make you sick
the words are on the tip
of her tongue oh, what fun!

he knows where they go
where all the bad ones go
all the criminals and broken bones
but he can't place her,
she'll go down as the one that
got the best of him, in the end

you're running from the pain
it's so easy to see
why don't you just wait?
you've got all this time
you'll be doing just fine
when all is written in the end

with every breath
i've got your number
i've got your guesses and the place where you slumber
with every breath
you get further away
you've got all my messes and all my mistakes

you've got your pistol loaded with excuses
and some more rounds of apologies
"i don't knows..." and "i'm so sorrys"
you'll shoot them at him but it will be useless
he's got his pen and what happened is bulletproof
the ink won't run the way the blood would
"I don't knows.." and "I'm so sorrys"
don't work on hearts made out of cold and slate
