BETTER THINGS

losing sleep over broken memories
on things that should mean nothing to me
reading into all the little forehead kisses
scruffing your face onto my cheek
as if for a second I could be
your wildest dream
and i'm fixed on a broken system
preset to waste all my time
too concerned with being loved to give it
losing myself in your fulfillment
and i should’ve known no one can ever promise that
but i thought i was stronger than this
and i keep saying i keep saying
there are better things in the world
i keep saying i keep saying
my dreams of you were a wasted thought
but it didn’t make them stop
no it never made them stop
i give up
on your love
bitter hope has me searching for the answers
between the words i said and things i didn’t mean
through the forest of silence and the echoing trees
i'll find the words i never got to be
and another 20 years goes like the wind
and the wind like the love it has never seen
so i keep saying i keep saying
there are better things in the world
i keep saying i keep saying
my dreams of you were a wasted thought
but it didn’t make them stop
no it never made them stop
i give up
on your love
and you know it hurt
but you know its always goanna hurt
at least i know that something was real
and you know it hurt
but you know its always gonna hurt
at least now i know that i can feel
i keep saying i keep saying
there are better things in the world
i keep saying i keep saying
my dreams of you were a wasted thought
but maybe i was wrong

Am I stuck in your head like your stuck in mine
Should I leave for a new path and leave this old trail behind
Not sure where I was going along the way
not sure where I am now not sure if ill stay
But if you’ll just give me a sign
I’ll keep trekking behind you
to see what we will find
lets not waste anymore time
anymore time
Am I stuck in your head like you’re stuck in mine
do you want something more are you still looking behind
Not sure where I was going along the way
not sure where I am now not sure if ill stay
But if you’ll just give me a sign
I’ll keep trekking behind you
to see what we will find
lets not waste anymore time
anymore time
anymore time
anymore time
I might veer off the path give me more than you’re giving now
I might veer off the cliff do you care where I go next
But if you’ll just give me a sign
I’ll keep trekking behind you
to see what we will find
lets not waste anymore time
anymore time

SHAKING HANDS

Shake hands with me
And taste all the lies I feed
Shake hands with me
And taste all the lies I feed
I know I can't be perfect
So why do I try
Keep my secrets tucked away
Pretending I can fly
But I am caged by grief
And self pity
Resting my hands on the bars
Screaming its not me
Sublimity seems to come so easily to me
At least that’s what I give out
For others to see
A politician at its best
There's no place for my soul to rest
Shake hands with me
And taste all the lies I feed
Shake hands with me
And taste all the lies I feed
Why can't I realize that all
these secrets and all of these lies
All these put downs
all the failed tries
They are not the future
only the ripping away of my pride
Shake hands with me
And taste all the lies I feed
Shake hands with me
And taste all the lies I feed
I'm done playing these games
These lies are not me
See the imperfection in the projection
I thought would give me peace
