The Chase
My heart has seen enough
I’ve had enough of lust
I’m tired of just being
Something you want
You treat me like a prize
But never take the time
To listen to what’s going on inside
I see right through
The things you do
No, love is not
A game
You don’t really want
To be with me
No, you just like
The chase
You don’t know my dreams
Don’t notice little things
You’re keeping me around
Because you want to feel big
You say that you can fix me
By treating me right
But you leave me broken
No, I can’t be blind
I see right through
The things you do
Love is not
Some game
No, you don’t really want
To be with me
You just like
The chase
Why can’t you do something nice
Just to do something nice
When you do something nice
Why’s it dripping in spite
I can see right through
The things you do
Love is not
Some game
No, you don’t really want
To be with me
You just like
The chase
Why can’t you do something nice
Just to do something nice
When you do something nice
Why’s it dripping in spite

Fickle Heart
If we have to say goodbye
Could you write it in a letter
I’ll pretend I didn’t get
For a while
I’m not ready to see you go
We split a hole
Through space and time
You and I
We saw forever
The portal closed
And left you on the other side
Can two parallel worlds collide
If
You’re sick of my shit
You won’t play those games
My fickle fucked up heart
Made you walk away
You’re sick of my shit
It’s not worth the pain
I told you who I am
And you thought
I would change
Call me a liar or a cheat
Oh, you know, I heard the shit
Your friends are saying about me
Did you tell them I’m a freak
Or did you just say
I’m crazy
I wear my heart on my sleeve
They told me
I was too weak
Strength expands
When you move
Through a feeling
It’s not fucking easy
And
You’re sick of my shit
You won’t play those games
My fickle fucked up heart
Made you walk away
You’re sick of my shit
It’s not worth the pain
I told you who I am
And you thought
I would change
This is my life
I know you lied
I was too kind to you
You thought I should try
To bend to your mind
What did you want
Me to do
This is my life
I know you lied
I was too kind to you
You thought I should try
To bend to your mind
What did you want
Me to do
Now
You’re sick of my shit
You won’t play those games
My fickle fucked up heart
Made you walk away
You’re sick of my shit
It’s not worth the pain
I told you who I am
And you thought
I would change

Fairytales
It was so easy to fall for you
We were just kids
I didn’t know that you could hurt me
I didn’t pay attention
I looked past the lies
Ignored all the signs
Pretended that it was fine
No, I never talked about it
Cause when I did
No one believed me
And no one listened
Girls like me
Don’t get to believe
In fairytales
When boys like you
Decide what our bodies
Should do
So many men share your hands
I feel at home
When I feel scared
I never found someone
Who would treat me with care
You’d let me die
Just to satisfy
The smallest part of you
I didn’t fight
Cause I didn’t know
This isn’t what lovers should do
Girls like me
Don’t get to believe
In fairytales
When boys like you
Decide what our bodies
Should do
I could live a thousand lifetimes
With your whispers in my chest
Did you ever think about me
Did you ever learn regret
No longer will I hear your voice
Let go of your hold on me
Maybe someday
I’ll believe in beauty
But
Girls like me
Don’t get to believe
In fairytales
When boys like you
Decide what our bodies
Should do

Lost Time
Searching for someone to blame
I should have known better
Wondering why the past replays
Wondering how to get through
No, that doesn’t sound
Like love
Sounds like I’ve been
Filling up
On someone else’s heart
While mine turned
To dust
Now I’m gonna put myself first
I won’t let nobody take my smile
I treated myself the worst
So I gotta make up for lost time
I have to acquit myself
I will not stay a victim
We became our shadow selves
We saw the worst we could do
You deserve much better
Than to compromise yourself
Don’t blame it on me
You blame it on me
You cannot love someone
If you do not love yourself
Don’t blame it on me
You blame it on me
No, that doesn’t sound
Like love
It sounds like I’ve been
Filling up
On someone else’s heart
While mine turned
To dust
Now I’m gonna put myself first
I won’t let nobody take my smile
I treated myself the worst
So I gotta make up for lost time
