It's been months
Turn into years
She tells me to forget you
But there's no way I do
'Cause you're in every place I gotta be
Like, do you like me, or do you still hate me?
Your friends tell me all the things you said about me
Not like I could care less
I couldn't care more
I'm too immature
I see your rat-face all the time
Used to think it's cute, now I can't crack a smile
So I wrote all these words to tell you
That I don't hate you
I just hate the way you've been so petty
It's been so long
You fake a smile around me
Make me write all these songs
And when your friends leave
And all my friends leave
Leaving us with just you and me
You want nothing to do with me
And I don't blame you
I don't want anything to do with you

You know, you know, you know, you know
I would, I did change anything to make you mine
But I know, I knew, I know, I knew
That you just aren't worth the time
You think you're so cool with your attitude of
"Talk to me, then ignore me"
But you're not, I'd rather play Xbox
I don't think you can run NHL 13
I listen to punk rock
While I smack talk
All the white girls at my school
But not you,
Because I'm through
You're not worth the time of day
"But you still write songs about me"
Like, yeah, I do
Just to kill off
Any last thoughts
Of any love I ever had for you
Cause, yeah, it felt like falling down 2 flights of stairs
Like when Gavin and Carson dragged me down yours
And at the bottom, there I was
With the dog, laying on the foyer floor
Cause, yeah, it felt like falling down 2 flights of stairs
Like when Gavin and Carson dragged me down yours
And at the bottom, there I was
With the dog, laying on the foyer floor
And I
Realized why I loved you in the first place
And I
Realized why you hate me now
And I
Realized why I loved you in the first place
And I
Realized why I hate you now
Cause, yeah, it felt like falling down 2 flights of stairs
Like when Gavin and Carson dragged me down yours
And at the bottom, there I was
With the dog, laying on the foyer floor
Cause, yeah, it felt like falling down 2 flights of stairs
Like when Gavin and Carson dragged me down yours
And at the bottom, there I was
With the dog, laying on the foyer floor
Cause, yeah, it felt like falling down 2 flights of stairs
Like when Gavin and Carson dragged me down yours
And at the bottom, there I was
With the dog, laying on the foyer floor
Cause, yeah, it felt like falling down 2 flights of stairs
Like when Gavin and Carson dragged me down yours
And at the bottom, there I was
With the dog, laying on the foyer floor

What will it take
To show the paint
You try oh-so hard to hide
I know you try
Your glaring eyes
Shining in the light
Like lasers into mine
Your smirk plagues my mind
I was just a boy
You told your friends
Biased more
Than CNN
Now look at what you've done to me
Now look how I think of you, and
I never had a chance in the first place
But you put the concrete to my face
Everything you told the others
Tell me to my face
I dare you, you won't
Say things behind my back
Act like I don't have ears
I loved you then,
You can't get past that
It's been like 3 years
I still write songs about you because
You can't grow up

God said my biggest challenges would be with myself
But I spent all this time blaming it on someone else
"It's her fault I'm like this"
"It's her fault I can't get up in the morning"
No, no, can't you see
Think!
Sure, she turns away when you pass each other in the hall
And it took two years to get another word willing to come out of her mouth at all
"She must be the problem"
No she's not
You're the one letting her control your thoughts
Twisting your mindset you thought you had oh so under control
Twisting and pulling it to fit the story plotted out in your head
Writing every word that she said
Down on your arm in permanent pen
Highlighting the moments you blew, and then...
Radio silence
You lay down in your bed
For days and weeks and months on end
Haunted by eyes like heroin
And a smile like crack
Every minute, like a replaying tape
Marking up the image of the landscape
The place in Illinois where you fell in love
With those grey-green eyes that glisten in the moonlight
Her long, black hair that always looked right
The dreams you had of you with her at night
The star of the act, a ruined show in your sight
But you,
You were just a bump
A grudge she kept
A name lodged in her mouth she couldn't get out
Her friends said you're all that she talked about
But not in the way you wanted to, no doubt
So here's what we'll do:
Close the chapter, lock up the book
Go to a bridge in New Hampshire that overlooks
A river smaller than a stream, but bigger than a brook
Where we'll toss that sucker and never look...
Hold up,
Lets turn back and look
At the book
Watch the pages erode away
With every change of current and wave
All the ink tattooed onto the page
Now washed away and water-stained
Can't burn the book now anymore
But it's way better than what you could ask for
Cause now it's there for someone to find
Someone to remind
That God's biggest challenges for me were with myself
And I figured it out
To not blame it on anyone else

"Friends Since May 18th"

All I wanted to do was impress you
But I guess I made you sick
And all your friends too
You're the definition of a rich brat
A lame cat, a sewer rat, a fake rack
I'm not sorry
For the way you feel tonight
I'm not sorry
You're not worth my time
I'm not sorry
For the way you feel tonight
You broke my heart once
I'll break your heart twice
All I wanted to do was impress you
But I just ended up becoming a recluse
I'm this close to drowning in your swimming pool
But I wouldn't do that to your bro, he's my friend too
All I wanted to do was impress you
But blame me for trying, that's what you do
Soulless eyes painted over in Grey-Green
I can't see the laurel tree your name means
You added me back
On Snapchat
About 3 months ago
It's been years since I added you first
Hey, what's up with that
You added me back
On Snapchat
About 3 months ago
It's been years since I spoke with you
I couldn't care less
All I wanted to do was impress you
But I just wasted my time like I always do
Pics of soulless eyes and fake skies on my timeline
My Instagram looks better without you
Pics of soulless eyes and fake skies on my timeline
My life looks way better without you here

I've found out I fall in love
But not enough to forget this girl
I'm over her
But she's all I can sing about
'Cause the words flow out so naturally
But I just wanna move on, and
Sing happier songs about someone else
Get those grey-green eyes out of my head
I'm tired of making all these excuses
Anxious over if she'll be there or not
More for her sake,
Less for mine
And I swear I'll beat the life outta me
If I ever gotta face her again
'Cause those grey-green eyes haunt me
Make me wanna tear at my skin
I'll speed right home
Ignore every stop sign in the city
Even though there's no cars around
I'll pray to God one of them hits me
And I'll...
I'm so sick of every sleepless night I spend awake
Because I can't close my eyes without seeing your face
And you just go and have to ruin everything for me
Illinois, Boston, Utah,
Everything I see
Illinois, Boston, Utah,
Even my friends
