Widow 02:41
Lights Lights My eyes are open And I’m stone cold sober Staring at the blankets that you left behind London is lively outside And I cry I’m the arms of your brothers All of which were strangers to your mother And we used to laugh I never loved a man the way that I loved you But suddenly we’re done But we’re still young We’re young and pretty We own this city But I’m a widow And your mother is here Collecting your things Won’t look me in the eye And my eyes are open And I’m stone cold sober And you go through doors That lock as soon as you leave You told not to grieve But my wardrobe’s black And the house is full of flowers I got hours to wish for you back But you never come back But you don’t come back

My girlfriend says I’m pretty But I don’t believe her She’s been high as hell all night She knows I hate it but she knows that I won’t leave her I can’t live without her by my side We’ll be awake ‘til dawn Then we’ll sleep all day I’m selfish when it comes to her Selfless ‘cause I love her senseless She says I’m pretty like a pop star Plays piano while I lounge and I la la la I kiss her slow My girlfriend’s got these blue eyes The sunrise hurts them when she’s hungover She likes to drink so that’s a common thing And she says the sweetest things when she’s not sober Dancing on mattresses Sleeping on the floor in crumpled sheets She’s been talking in her sleep About how much she hates my ex all week I hate him too Me too I’m selfish when it comes to her Selfish Selfless ‘cause I love her senseless She says I’m pretty like a pop star Plays piano while I lounge and I la la la I kiss her slow She wants me so I kiss her slow Everybody knows She’s got my soul She says I’m pretty like a pop star Plays piano while I lounge and I la la la

Don’t leave Stay forever young Sunrise Right where we belong I’ve been waging a war That never meant nothing Oh look The world is ending So stay Why don’t you stay? Why don’t you stay? Why don’t you stay? Kiss me When you’re so blue Sunsets Made for me and you Let’s not fight About the scars That the world left on our hearts Let’s make a new start The world might be ending And I’m done pretending So Why don’t you stay? Why don’t you stay? Why don’t you stay? Why don’t you stay?

Audacious 03:35
It’s four in the fucking morning What is it that you actually want from me? Like I don’t I mean firstly This is pretty damn audacious Even for you I just Legitimately Genuinely What the actual fuck? Like What the fuck? I just You’ve been running so fast That you forgot how to live And you pick my bones clean Then you ask what I still have to give And I stay ‘cause I love you And I love you ‘cause I’m stupid Don’t ask me why I don’t love myself too You know that I’m just foolish Ah You’re a ghost from the past And you were never built to last Never built to last You give up too fast And I can’t hold on to sweet summer nights When time has decided to move on Move on And I I should follow her out that door But I don’t But I won’t You call me late at night Like sleep is just a luxury And you ask what I’m thinking about Like it’s a mystery I’ve been trying to get away I’ve been trying to live right But my door is dented By the love you’re sending And I should be ascending But I can’t hold on to sweet summer nights When time has decided to move on Move on I’ve gotta move on You’ve gotta move on I’ve gotta close the door I’ve gotta move on I’ve gotta go I am deleting your number I am deleting you on social media I am blocking you on Duolingo Do not talk to me Do not appear in my dreams Do not contact my spirit guide That is it

Confection 03:55
My invention My perception I loved a daydream I loved my sweet confection You never walked the walk You never talked the talk No You weren’t good for my heart We hurt and heal slow I’m never on the right track when it comes to you Waiting for you Waiting for you to be my wildfire Pacing as I paint passion onto blank canvases They never dry I never smile when I’m with you You never live up to the fantasy that I take to bed I’m in love with my imagination Got another you inside of my head With my imagination Got another you in my head Got another you inside of my head Can you break my heart If you never took it No no Can you crush it up in your hands If your hands never touched it I’m in love with my imagination Got another you inside of my head I got another you inside of my head My invention My perception I loved a daydream I loved my candy sweet confection My candy sweet My candy sweet My candy sweet The man you had the potential to be never materialised So I gave my heart back to my soul And I let it go Yeah I let it go I let it go I let it go My invention My perception I loved a daydream I loved my candy sweet confection I loved my candy sweet confection My candy sweet My candy sweet

Won’t throw my bouquet Because I never had anything to be a memory You tell me that this is my day But you want me to throw it all away Why do you always do this? You push me You tell me that it’s okay and you can fix me But all my wayward girls We found to hell We can’t count on ourselves To stay out of trouble I’m in trouble I’m in trouble Because you love me Time will always pass No matter how you plead And the words stay as written Even if you say you can’t read And the night can’t take you back When the morning has arrived I’m accepting that you’re mine I don’t have to make escape plans Rejecting hope Because it always leads to hurting But maybe not this time Maybe not this time Maybe not this time Maybe not this time

Fantasy 01:15
I love you My baby blue My baby blue And I’m lost Living in a fantasy Now you’re gone Won’t you hold my hand? Like you used to Tell me that you’ll come back again I count the ways I loved you But my mind has gone blank Won’t you come back? Won’t you come back? Won’t you come back?

Lights Oh the lights The lights are shining for you My eyes are open My eyes are open And I’m stone cold sober Yes Yes I’m stone cold sober Stone cold sober We used to laugh But suddenly we’re done You’re still young You’re still young I want you to come home I want you to come home You’re still young You’re still young I want you to come home I want you to come home But my wardrobe’s black And the house is full of flowers I’ve got hours To wish for you back But you never come back But you don’t come back It’s so matter of fact The cruelty of fatality Life just stabbed us in the back And I can’t survive if you’re not with me But my wardrobe’s black And the house is full of flowers I’ve got hours To wish for you back But you never come back You never come back You never come back You never come back My wardrobe’s black And you never come back You never come back No You never come back We used to laugh We used to party You’d hate the flowers How they litter your body But my wardrobe’s black And the house is full of flowers Oh baby I I’ve got hours To wish for you back But you never come back No My wardrobe’s black Oh won’t you come back Baby won’t you come back Baby won’t you come back Oh baby won’t you come back My wardrobe’s black Won’t you come back Baby won’t you come back
