Butterfly effect
You’re just trying to haunt me when I’m lonely
But you can’t change me
Butterfly effect
You’re just a memory I can’t forget
Going over inside my head
My life’s becoming reckless
A tiny chance is all I need
I can’t help feel but hopeless
Right when you disagreed
My thoughts jumped back to high school
Oh god I’m feeling sick
I knew someday you’d place your lips and hands around his
Every time you tell a different story
Complicating every night and day
Why’d you pack your things in such a hurry?
Please wont you take back my butterflies
You said you needed some time
To get me off of your mind
I said I'm not wasting my life
Just standing in line
I don't understand
Why you're stuck in my head
While I lie awake
Inside this forsaken bed
You broke me down and shut me out
You’ll live with doubt and I won’t be sorry

Novelty

Heartbroken and dissatisfied
Turns out I like being alone at night
You faked a promise and you lied to me
Convincing yet you misplaced
A thousand memories you can’t erase
Don’t call me back
I’m done with wasting my life in the past
Don’t get me started
You’re just a novelty
You left me broken hearted
Inside my parents basement
You left me here alone
I can do this on my own
They said before you left
And threw out your ring and dress
You hit every little switch
That you placed inside my chest
I’m falling and crawling
I’m left out, withdrawing
I’m falling and crawling
I should have seen this coming
Are you coming over to fix this
Or is it finally over
I’m done with it
Don’t try to call me back or waste my time with that
I wish this break was a little longer

If I Die Today
03:21

Just like the tide we fade away
And save ourselves for another day
And how come that when it’s raining the sun never comes out to play?
My eyes are wide open
I’m patiently hoping that
Youll never meet another guy like me,
You’ll never meet another guy like
I’ll try to run again
You swept my feet right out from under me
Before you ran to Tennessee
Sifted across the ground
Every letter you wrote for me
I’d be better off dead
Not like you’d notice anyway
If I die today
Would you suddenly love me?
Im finding a home
At the bottom of this lake
And if I die today
Would you suddenly hate me
For finding a home
At the bottom of this drink
All I needed was your hand
Just a moment of your time
What a waste of empty space
A broken clock that can't rewind
Every now and then
I dream of what we used to be
The only one who saw the good in me
You stole my heart, now can I have it back
I’m still collecting pieces of a broken past
Right back to where we start
It's your turn, lay down, fall apart
I'll be there to fix you when you’re hurt
But I can't take
But I can't take too much more of this
Please tell me, please tell me
you did not forget
About the times we
Stayed out way too late
Struggled hard to make rents pay
Who would've thought that we
Would end up this way
If I die today
Would you suddenly love me
Finding a home
At the bottom of this lake
And if I die today
Would you suddenly hate me
For not coming back
You see I’m not coming back
I said I’m not coming back again

Calm You Down

Take my hand take another step
We’re moving on from the darkness,
I know, I know he made you blue
Look up, look up the skies are bright and new in your direction
Turn it all around and find a new perception
To what you think, to what you thought
I never realized that it was all your fault and
Listen to my voice to calm you down
You can sleep if you want to
I’m running out
I’m running out of time
I’ll leave right now
Cause you never compromised
I’ll make a notice everything will be okay
Its time to focus and get my head on straight
Im running out
I’m running out of time
I’ll leave right now
Cause you never compromised
I’ll make a notice everything will be okay
Its time to focus and get my head on straight
I’ve packed what’s mine and looked around
I think its time to get off the ground
With every moment still engraved
I say last words and begin to pray
Oh god, did I ruin my life when I walked out that night?
Can I find a way to turn back time, restore what I left behind?
Listen to my voice to calm you down
You can sleep if you want to

Goodbye

Broken dreams lined in the sky
I must have looked up a thousand times
It led me to my grave
Threw darkness in my face
Outside my castle bridges burn
Inside our house is overturned
Please tell me that you don’t feel the same
Because I tripped and now I’m flying
I’ve lost all self control
I’ll fly until someone screams my name
I’ll fly until I’ve reached the outter space
Take my hand just for a moment
So you can pull me close
Your goodbye is my hello
Your goodbye is my hello
Speak for yourself
Don’t tell them it was easy
You can’t deny
That you would never leave me
I won’t accept these consequences
For my actions
I will attempt to make you mine again
Everything feels so close together
When you’re so far away
But I can see so much clearer
From above the trees
Because I tripped and now I’m flying
(Because I tripped and now I’m falling)
Because I tripped and now I’m flying
(I’ve lost all self control)
Take my hand just for a moment
Let me pull you close
Your goodbye is my hello
Your goodbye is my hello
