This is not how it would have played out if I'd been as nice as I claimed 02:39
lyrics
buy track
The first time I saw my favourite film, we had a 3-hour phone conversation. I don't think I ever talked to anyone that much. We were 18. So excited to break out of our hometown. Sights and hearts were set on opposite directions. We were so convinced we would still talk all the time. But we never did, and I just missed you. Maybe I was dumb for loving you, but it was wrong of me to misrepresent my intentions when you needed me as a friend, I was selfish, and you were right to cut me off.

I am doing this alone because I can't break up with me 03:42
lyrics
buy track
I lost count of the times I spent alone with headphone, and records for friends. It's so easy to listen and take comfort without thinking about what you're giving back. It took every band I ever loved breaking up to motivate me to write this down, and communicate it. I hope the know the impact they had on me and my friends. I don't blame them for calling it a day, I just wish they hadn't. I can't be finding someone else to support for the rest of my life. I'll try to make it to farewell shows to say 'I love you' and know it's for the last time. And go home, sick man, I'll see you around.
3.
I respect your decision to leave and wish you well for the future (even if you suck) 03:29
lyrics

I had such for this summer, I would have had the best group of friends. You were supposed to be at the centre, but you'd rather be ground zero instead. And I must respect that, I remember thinking this is not so bad. Just 40 or 60 more years and I won't have to think about this anymore. There goes my week. I'll stay in bed today. I'm making some changes, buying all new clothes I got a new tattoo. Daytime drinking with friends I don't like to prove to them I'm over you. I can't believe I was dumb enough to fall for unlaced Chucks again. I'll leave the house in a couple days with the hope someone puts me in my place. You said I hated you. I can only say 'I wish'. It sucks right now, but I must respect the choice you made. And wish you well, before our ties are cut so I have one less thing to regret. I can only wish I hated you.
