INTRO:
Try as I may, I can’t fix you
I’ll keep falling short
My love is just a band-aid peeling off
VERSE 1:
I am in control of how I feel
You are in control of what you think is real
And I am in control of if I stay,
I want to but I know you’ll never change
PRE CHORUS 1:
Point it out, and brush it off,
You have had enough
Of my worries, of my doubts,
These walls ain’t coming down
CHORUS:
Try as I may, I can’t fix you
I’ll keep falling short
My love is just a band-aid peeling off
Actions fail you, your talk is cheap
Still I let you run back to me,
And I hold your problems until they fall asleep
VERSE 2:
You are in control of what you see,
But you shut the console down and you won’t speak
Something else takes over in your head,
It brings me down and follows us to bed
Why am I still here? I never learn
You cannot heal a boy who thinks that he deserves to burn
PRE CHORUS 2:
Point it out, won’t see it through,
Still I’m in love with you,
Push me out and make me cry,
There’s nothing left inside
CHORUS:
Try as I may, I can’t fix you
I’ll keep falling short
My love is just a band-aid peeling off
Actions fail you, your talk is cheap
Still I let you run back to me,
And I hold your problems until they fall asleep
BRIDGE:
I’ll call it out and call it off,
I have had enough
Of your worries of your doubts,
I tried to break them down,
Down
But my love just a band-aid peeling off
CHORUS:
Actions fail you, your talk is cheap
And I’ve been letting you run back to me,
And I hold your problems until they fall asleep
Actions fail you, your talk is cheap
Still I let you run back to me,
And I hold your problems until they fall asleep

Sobering Up

VERSE 1;
I need a 12 step program
For getting over you
I let you back into my life
but I want rid of you
You tempt me like the devil,
but my desert days are done
Know you’ll get by without me,
oh I know you’ll have you’re fun
PRE CHORUS:
and it’s hard to shake,
it’s a pattern two years in the making
so it’s hard to break
but I’m letting you go
CHORUS:
Your loving is a stiff drink
it’s been a year I’m still hungover
your love is like a poison
it’s killing me but I’ve gotta taste for it
I gotta flush you out, better drink a lot water
take some pain killers and
feel better in the morning
Your loving is addictive
but I’m sobering up
VERSE 2:
You think that this time will be
just like times before
when I say “you hurt me baby”
but still come back for more
but I’m growing stronger daily
my heart has toughened up
you turn around and expect to see me there
but I have enough
PRE CHORUS
and it’s hard to shake,
it’s a pattern two years in the making
so it’s hard to break
but I’m letting you go
CHORUS
Your loving is a stiff drink
it’s been a year I’m still hungover
your love is like a poison
it’s killing me but I’ve gotta taste for it
I gotta flush you out, better drink a lot water
take some pain killers and
feel better in the morning
Your loving is addictive
but I’m sobering up

Under My Skin

VERSE 1:
You don’t have ask
Feel free to assume
That you can come a little a closer
I don’t mind being next to you
You wrap your arm around me
you feel me hesitate
cause it’s all too familiar
when you say my name
PRE CHORUS 1:
you used to breathe it out, like a prayer
and now we sit in silence with your hands in my hair
I know it’s not platonic, you’re not just being nice
barely fending off these feelings that we’re trying to fight
CHORUS:
You got your claws deep under my skin
and I know I shouldn’t be letting you in
but our souls are tied, it’s a knee jerk reaction
a losing fight against chemical attraction
You, got your claws deep under my skin
VERSE 2:
It’s gets a little fun
Cause we know that’s wrong
As we get on like lovers
And string each other along
You cross another boundary,
And I will do the same, same, same
unbearable tension,
I let it fall apart again
PRE CHORUS 2:
I wanna breathe you in, it’s my prayer
and now we sit in silence but we don’t wanna stay there
too comfortable and easy, i need to get away
I’m telling you to go, but I’d rather you stayed
CHORUS
You got your claws deep under my skin
and I know I shouldn’t be letting you in
but our souls are tied, it’s a knee jerk reaction
a losing fight against chemical attraction
You, got your claws deep under my skin
BRIDGE:
I don’t know where you stand,
And you don’t know what to do with your hands
Friends ask me if we’re back together
And I say no
but I don’t say never
I know that I should stop,
You’re poison and I should be giving you up
But I won’t sober up just yet -
Still I know how this goes, I know how it ends
I know I should let you go, I know, I know, but
CHORUS
You got your claws deep under my skin
and I know I shouldn’t be letting you in
but our souls are tied, it’s a knee jerk reaction
a losing fight against chemical attraction
You, got your claws deep under my skin

Broken Vessel

VERSE 1:
You know me too well,
You pull my strings until they snap, strings until they snap.
You know me too well,
Take my hand and I will fall into your trap
PRE CHORUS 1:
You feel empty,
And I’m just a slave to my empathy
Draw blood, you’re hell bent
I’ll wrap myself around your wounds to bind them
CHORUS:
Broken vessel,
I’ll draw you close to me
Cracked and splintered,
But I only see what I choose to see.
Omit your sin and malice,
My downfall is my forgiveness
Broken vessel
Drain the heart of me,
I give it all too willingly
VERSE 2:
You make it unclear,
Tell me trauma, tell me lust,
you shouldn’t, but you must
I become what I fear,
Slowly slowly you are winning back my trust
PRE CHORUS 2:
You feel empty,
And I’m just a slave to my empathy
Draw blood, you cry out
Would it make your burdens less if they were mine now?
CHORUS:
Broken vessel,
I’ll draw you close to me
Cracked and splintered,
But I only see what I choose to see.
Omit your sin and malice,
My downfall is my forgiveness
Broken vessel
Drain the heart of me,
I give it all too willingly
BRIDGE:
You feel empty,
I’ll pour myself out but there‘s not enough of me
Draw blood, might follow through
I have to pull away, my love won’t save you
You
CHORUS:
Broken vessel,
I’ll draw you close to me
Cracked and splintered,
But I only see what I choose to see.
Omit your sin and malice,
My downfall is my forgiveness
Broken vessel
Drain the heart of me,
I give it all too willingly
