Quarter Life Crisis

Started over for the third time
Quarter life crisis
I’ve been jumping on a train
Every chance that I get
Honey tell me where
I can find that spark that
Makes me feel alive
See it all through someone else’s eyes
I know that everything’s alright
I don’t believe it always
But I still love myself sometimes
Mommy says that I'm a big star
Daddy’s so proud
Little me would be happy that she got out
Even after all the bullshit and the breakdowns
I just want to scream
Let the tears run out
It was easier when I was counting on my friends
Now i'm picking up the pieces
Fix the lamp
Bringing back the light
Like it never left
Kiss the mirror on the forehead

Teach Me How To Love

Teach me how
Teach me how to love
Cause I don't know how
Don't know how to trust
Miss broken heart
I don’t, I don’t feel alive
Hi stranger
I’m a little impatient
Time waster
Not again, I can't take it
Romantic
Give me flowers and attention
So dramatic
On the couch
Wish I never opened my mouth
Teach me how
Teach me how to love
Cause I don’t know how
Don't know how to trust
Miss broken heart
I don’t, I don’t feel alive
Teach me how
Teach me how to love
Cause I don't know why
All the stupid boys with the stupid lies
Make me, make me feel alive
Hi you
I don't know what I’m doing
It’s true
But I know I've been through it
So scared to get to know you
So sweet or is it poison?
So dramatic
On the couch
Wish I never opened my mouth
Teach me how, baby
Teach me how, baby
Teach me how, baby
Teach me how

Trust You

I'm so sorry that I
Had sex with your ex-boyfriend
Ex best friends are leaving
Late night calls
Calgary to Montreal
I don't get the things you said
About why it ended such a mess
It's like you just need
To sit right there and watch me bleed
For what it's worth
(What it's worth)
I really liked you
And I told you
There’s nothing worse
(Nothing worse)
Than hurting someone who trusts you
When nobody tries to
I'm so sorry that I
Had sex with the guy that all your best friends met
And it was all for you
Did your mother like him too?
He wants me to write a song
About his tattoos
But all I wanted
Was something new
Baby this is déjà-vu

You taught me how to walk
And how to fight
But never in a mean way
You’re too kind
I think i get it now
Favorite trip down Carolina
My first guitar
And I still owe you
You’re my ray of sunshine
I don't think I would be alive
If you weren’t by my side
My ray of sunshine
(My ray of sunshine)
(My ray of sunshine)
I’ll burn you a CD
With all your favorite melodies
Careless whisper
Twisted sister and Tragedy
When I see you in my head
You’re smiling
Pour a drink out on the porch
Laugh ‘til we’re crying
You’re my ray of sunshine
When you’re running out of time
I’ll be
I’ll be by your side
My ray of sunshine

September nervous
Tell me, is it sad?
That I blacked out the curtains
One too many candles
And my family singing
My eyes feel like wax
And I’m melting
Sick of the curse
I put on myself
Oh this is hell
What a mistake
I need a break
Can’t you tell?
Nobody told me about 20 Something
I’m second-guessing every second that I feel nothing
Nobody gave me a warning (a warning)
I’m second-guessing every second, guess I
I guess I’m stuck
(I guess I’m stuck)
A crack in the mirror
Another year
I need a bit of forgiveness
It tastes bittersweet
Happier than I seem but
I wanna destroy everything

Standby Baby

You’re in my dreams again
I don’t know what this means
My dearest friend, I wish
You planned a kiss on me
We act like kids, you’re in your thirties
I hope you find some peace in time
But lately
I’m waiting
And you’re brazen
Why can't I be your plan A?
I’m your plan C
I found another man I’m banging lately
He’s about me
You messed it up
I know your dad would’ve fucking loved me
Guess I'm your standby baby
Standby baby
Why did you say you love me?
You just ghost me when I’m in town
I don't appreciate your fake nostalgia
Your silence is so loud
Yeah, you stabbed me
In the back
Thanks for this track
Yeah, you dragged me
Through the trash
Thanks for that
We act like kids, you’re in your thirties
I hope you find some peace in time
But lately
I’m waiting
And you’re brazen
Oh Samson
Why did you let her cut your hair?
I said I’d love you
I thought we made a vow to
Never end it
Keep pretending
That you’re someone who did really care
About me
I’m never gonna be your standby baby
You’re never gonna find another like me
Standby baby
Standby baby

Fucks Me Up
03:16

So I woke up from a fever dream
You were next to me
Didn’t feel like it was wrong
Venus in Mercury, what do you want from me?
You stopped texting me
Everytime I felt alone
Why do I miss your smile ?
When it was never mine
You’re so vain
Overdramatic
Condescending
I get it
Looks good being independent
Looks good hitting for the fences now
Don’t you know it fucks me up
I meant it
When I said you were pretentious
When you left me in the trenches down
And out you know it fucks me up
Don’t you know it fucks me up?
My sister said we were a
Sinking boat I guess it’s
For the best that you fucked off
Left me alone
I trusted you with all my heart
We erased it from the stars
Wish I’d unfuck you and go write a happy song
Why’d you leave me ?
She’s so basic
I’m in stasis
Yeah it really fucks me up
Got a list of
Things boys tell me
It’s not healthy, no
It really fucks me up
Don’t you know it fucks me up

Kiss Me on the Floor
02:54

Heart of the party
Morning coffee
Not really lonely at all
I wish you knew me
When I was happy
Without all of the chemicals
What if I never fall in love?
I'll be sleeping on the floor
Living with my mom
What if I never get involved
With somebody
Anybody
Kiss me on the floor
This exhausting
Never ending
Game of cat and mouse
I wish you knew me
When I was pretty
Young and beautiful
Kiss me on the floor
Bitch
