I’m so sorry but fuck your apology
My heart rests inside your hands
You get to live this brand new life while
I’m stuck in Michigan
You say that I’ll get better but how the fuck would you know? You’re a thousand miles away
Sing me a song so sweet and slow let your voice ring through my ears
Cause you’re not goin anywhere anytime soon you’re comfortable inside my head
It’s the wishing I was dead almost every single day and you say there’s no regret in anything you say
So I’ll put myself somewhere new in hopes that I’ll forget you but odds are I’ll fail at best
Swore to myself I’d never be down like this but you had other plans
So enjoy Pensacola sweet Catie and forget that you forgot me

“I need to be alone.” Rings through my ears
But at the sound of failure, you changed the tune to match your fears
Sweet Narita kept my mind at ease
For one week she had her way with me
Mask a stab to your heart as me playin my good guy card
Nearly covered up your handwriting with Japanese imagery
But there’s no tattoo that could cover up you and
I have enough letters with your signature to burn every word that I’ve ever heard you speak or put on to paper
Tell me again how much I mean
Come to take all my bones
Enough to build you a home
Where you will then pass the time
Taking control over my mind
You are the lighthouse I am reaching for
As I drown in the ocean that’s my bed on the floor

On my departure and I’m heading to Tokyo
Where I feel my blood drip down into my window seat
I can breathe yeah I think that I finally am free cause there is no reminder here of you and me
Eigo ga Hanasemasuka can you speak in tongues to me? Yeah I feel you lookin down all the way past through my teeth
That I grit every night when I try to fall asleep turn to dust fill my lungs make it hard to breathe
Understanding what you meant when you said “you’re stuck with me”
Understanding that it meant deal with me when I leave
Understanding what you meant when you said “you’re stuck with me”
Stuck with you inside my head a place that you’ll never leave
On my departure and I’m finally heading home
Where I will get my rest but all alone
Eigo ga Hanasemasuka you spoke in tongues to me
Twist my head up make me believe that I don’t mean a thing
Understanding what you meant when you said “you’re stuck with me”
Understanding that it meant deal with me when I leave
Understanding what you meant when you said “you’re stuck with me”
Stuck with you inside my head a place that you’ll never leave

Said “I’ll meet you in Connecticut.”
Where my teeth look good and my head hurts less I always knew that I would move somewhere else
Or maybe further up north to Maine where I’ll be all alone but away from your name I’m tired of fielding questions about how you are
Cause I just say you’re doing great
I hide behind a lie it saves me time
Explaining why you’re no longer in my life
Let’s be honest I won’t stray far from my tight knit circle at Dagwoods bar I might as well drink for free at Bingle Mansion
I’ve gotten a lot of “hey you’ll be fine!” But no one knows what goes on in my mind and the pain that deal with almost every day
No matter what someone says there’s no getting past your own head
I’ve been workin way to hard
On songs that won’t ever leave Lansing bars
Not that that’s not ok I just hate feeling like a failure every day
That’s how I feel that’s how I’ve felt as of late
Why am I singing these songs
Hoping I become someone
What is it I really want
It’s not far fetched to say that I’ve stretched thin
My ability to cope with irrelevance
Cause no one really cares and I don’t blame them
I am nothing just as I have always been
I’ve been workin way to hard
On songs that won’t ever leave Lansing bars
Not that that’s not ok I just hate feeling like a failure every day
That’s how I feel that’s how I’ve felt as of late

I must confess you were a godsend
A perfectly planned excuse to stay inside my bed
What am I to you but a few closed boxes within the room that you grew up in
Well laziness cuts into me so easily
I hope you found the letter I wrote down wishing you well and that I’m just fine I wasted no time going through photo albums of me and you I save that part for when you’re all alone and holidays have called you home
Well laziness cuts into me so easily
And I don’t wanna be anything other than what I’ve been
So long to conversations now lost
What did I do wrong
It’s easy to write hate though I might focus on the fact that your happiness doesn’t come last
I meant what I said, to feel no regret cause one day when you’re old you might wonder if what you did was right and
Thoughts spread like poison
Well laziness cuts into me so easily
I don’t wanna be anything other than what I’ve been

A stain of blood
From a 2 carat wedding ring my tongue
Can cut through anything but recently I’ve been tongue tied all the way to my seams and ya know I’m piss poor when I’m lying about anything
Haley you’ve got your mothers eyes and lately I see her in your smile it’s killin me I am weak all the way to my seams and ya know I can’t stay to see you become something
You know I tried to build you a stable home
Never though I’d be doing it all alone
I used to love that you looked just like your mother but now it’s just a constant reminder of her
I never planned on being such a bad father
Haley this one is for you
Fear me for this is what love can do
Haley I bleed for you
Haley this ones for you
Haley you’ve got your mothers eyes and lately I see your father when you smile

I can’t wait for someone to hit my phone up so that I can say no
I look for any excuse to stay inside of my home
When I look for anything that makes me feel like I’m something to someone other that me, myself and I
Someone please tell me what’s wrong with my head I look for any excuse to stay inside of my bed
Good thing I’ve got adderall to help push me through all my faults but I mixed it with alcohol and now I think I am dead
If that’s the case I think I might’ve made a mistake and I wish I could go back tell my friends it’s not because of them
When they think of me I hope they know I found my peace and I got rid of all the pain inside of my head
Tell someone you’re close to you love them

So long Michigan take care of all my friends when I go away
Be sure to be kind to my broken mind for I’m all alone
Don’t think I quite thought it through
All alone and there’s not much to do so I
Start to hypothesize justified suicide
Won’t you think of me again?
Nothing feels better than wondering who hurts the most in your absence
Then the thought hits my head
What if no one cares when your dead
If I don’t make it through the week
For you this is what I leave
Here’s to every one of my friends
That are living in Michigan
I love you
Hide the pain inside growing up
Cope with life and that I’m alone
Said that I just don’t want to grow old
No one does but that’s just the way it goes

I’m sorry that I didn’t write you more see I was busy picking my father up from off the floor
What was I supposed to do?
With everything you were going through I didn’t want to pile on I just wanted to be someone
That you could call and my voice would be cool and calm
We’d talk about the dog or about how good of a thing that was
For you and how much I miss your voice your touch then graduation came and I knew you were not the same and then in Chicago you were further away than I could ever know
So open this
When you miss
My voice and need something to hear
Don’t waste your time
Learning the rhyme
Cause if you do that means your mind is mine
I don’t know you anymore
You said that we don’t want the same things anymore and you want to travel and experience life away from home
We’ve always wanted the same things you just no longer wanted them with me
And that is okay I just wish that is what you’d say
I don’t know you anymore
I guess I just miss my friend

Loving you was the easiest thing from the moment that I handed you Daisies and the second you laughed and graced me your smile I felt a firm grasp that stayed all the while tight to the heart in my chest and there it’ll remain til the day I rest
What I’m trying to say is that
My heart was yours
Holding you was the closest thing that I came to believing in something and you are my drug, the mana I need, for you I would die for you I would bleed
What I’m trying to say is that
My soul was yours
Forgiving you was the hardest thing from the moment you said you were leaving but I came around I think that I’ve found solace in knowing you’re better off now and I’m sorry that I put you through hell for you doing what was best for yourself
I’m trying to say that
I am okay
