I don't wanna know your name
Don't wanna know where you came from
I just wanna sit a while
I just wanna be quiet for once
I don't wanna leave again
But I can't get out of my head
And I don't know what to do
So I take it out on you
I've been wrong
I've been right
I've been cruel
But I never wanted to hurt you
Take a listen to the sound of my footsteps
Leavin' is my love language
I don't wanna cross a line
But I'm thinking of you all the time
Lookin' back's a bad habit, I know
But I don't wanna end up alone
So I sit and count the time
Since you last let me call you mine
And it feels like yesterday
But you're so far away
I've been wrong
I've been right
I've been cruel
But I never wanted to hurt you
Take a listen to the sound of my footsteps
Leavin' is my love language
I don't wanna know
I've been wrong
I've been right
I've been cruel
But I never wanted to
Hurt you
Take a listen to the sound of your footsteps
Leavin' is my love language

Used To

Your skin, I thought was perfect
I wanted you more than I should have
I wanted you more than I should have
Stretched thin, your intentions so transparent
How come I couldn't see through them
How come I couldn't see through them
Take me as I am
Or just leave me here alone again
I guess it's not that different
Some days I still miss you
But most days I just wish we never met
I used to think you were a stroke of genius
I used to
You had me
You had me
You had me right where you wanted
Until you wanted something else
Someone easier to live without
So I just hold my breath and brace myself for the worst
All I wanted was your attention
I knew I couldn't have it
Take me as I am
Or just leave me here alone again
I guess it's not that different
Some days I still want you
But I heard you found a fine replacement
And I wonder
Does she love you like I used to
Take me as I am
Or just leave me here alone again
I know it's not that different
We were once such deep red
But now we're blue again
And I wonder
Oh, I wonder
Does she love you like I used to

Up in Smoke

Stuck in the deep end
No exits, I'm speeding
Feels like I'm drowning
If I sit still for too long
You're worn and you're ragged
Eyes burnt out like matchsticks
You've been retracing your steps
Trying to find your way home
But you don't even know where that is anymore
And you don't even know what you're searching for
I know that I messed up
I know you know it too
But I promise I only had the best intentions
When it came to you
Thought that a clean break would be easier to heal
But I still see your face
And I still feel your touch
And I hear things I don't want to hear
And in that silence I realize what I actually fear
Now I can't meet my eyes when I look in the mirror
Would you take my word if it meant nothing?
Would you come back if I said I'm sorry?
No you won't
How come everything I love always goes up in smoke?
And I know it's my fault but I can't let you go

I tried being there, and I tried being gone,
But nothing ever felt right
I told you not to love me
But you still showed up in the middle of the night
Wearing a halo made of streetlights
It was 3 a.m. and you didn't flinch
when I showed you the blood on my hands
I try to be good, but I cannot pretend
That I haven't done a few ugly things
Like ignore you all night when you just want to talk to me
I used to be happy to see you
Now I don't even think about you

I think it's difficult to write songs about something other than romantic love, and still be able to communicate the intensity with which those feelings can hit a person. Some of the entries on this album are fantastic examples of this niche.
