I Swear 04:01
i swear, i swear i knew it all along went upstairs when i knew that you had study hall and i cared if you talked to the old man in the sky so scared you would let me touch your body and i wouldnt say no no, i wouldnt say no. and i was so full of shit cross my fingers, clench my fist picture myself inside her kiss and fall asleep, you hypocrite. lipstick, you looked worse than you ever did so i said i had climbed so far over it and i looked for an easier knot to untie someone who would let me touch their body and i wouldnt say no no, i wouldnt say no. and i was so full of shit cross my fingers, clench my fist picture myself inside her kiss and fall asleep, you hypocrite. i was the strangest of thieves pick all the locks and then leave to go home and fantasize bout the things that i couldve had if i opened up that door but that's not how i want it anymore and i was so full of shit cross my fingers, clench my fist picture myself inside her kiss and fall asleep, you hypocrite.

Never Enuff 03:26
you stopped believing in god so he stopped believing in you told you to get a real job those days in the sand are through and he swears that he isnt mad as you quietly let him down its just he tried to believe you wanted him around but all that you say now is "i dont love you like i used to when people talk i dont defend you i tried so hard i paid my dues but it was never enuff i was never enuff for you." well you made a new friend and it tears him apart no he just cant pretend that youre not breaking his heart and when he sees you out at night he tries his best to pick a fight but you'll never be his, and its time he realized that nothing is alright, and say "i dont love you like i used to when people talk i dont defend you i tried so hard i paid my dues but it was never enuff i was never enuff for you. and now i dont love you like i used to when people talk i dont defend you all that shit you put me through it was never enuff i was never enuff for you."

you told me that you found her mirror broken on the kitchen floor it was then that everything got clearer you made your way to the back door and you got the most terrible taste on the tip of your terrible tongue you say, "who am i, what have a i done?" is there no place else you'd rather be no brighter lights you'd like to see nobody noticed you fall asleep the party is over, and you're the last to leave. you told me you were feeling tired when we walked into his hotel room but minutes later you were wired hanging out with you-know-who and you were so naive thought i was oh so green but i know you and what you've done is there no place else you'd rather be no brighter lights you'd like to see nobody noticed you fall asleep the party is over, and you're the last to leave. i told myself, "it's just a little fling. she'll come around and come back to me." but it's just as well, cause when we speak it hurts like hell. is there no place else you'd rather be no brighter lights you'd like to see nobody noticed you fall asleep the party is over, and you're the last to leave. you're the last to leave.

tangerine you're mvp on a losing team acting as if you'll be 17 for all your life and i heard you cry when you were spitting into my eye said its been eating you up inside you up inside and i know its hard to be alone everyone is scared of showing people who they are and i know everyone knows if you let them in they'll break your heart but you are worthless if you're waiting play it safe, yeah play it cool but while you run away from everything i dont ever envy you change your heart youre all alone and you know you are say nothing matters and call it art say what you mean and i gave it back my idealized version of the past my fear that everything's meaningless i gave it back and i know its hard to be alone but its harder still to let those feelings grow tangerine, my little tangerine.

cross your fingers youre a fraud i never believed in what you want 18 was a pretty big year you figured out yourself and why youre here but i am not amused what would you do without the attention i wanna know have you ever really seen yourself have you ever really heard yourself have you ever really seen yourself the way that everyone else sees you why do you feel like you do something she said got right to you and youre left there feeling dumb but if you act like a baby then youll get what you want and i know i do to what would you do without the attention what would you do if all eyes werent on you you stopped when you were 9 you never changed you never changed at all i wanna touch your face your wrinkled skin yeah act your age
