Writing these love letters that don't mean a thing
I sit by the telephone waiting for it to ring
You were my best friend, you were my saint
But anything I had left to say, I'm sure it's far too late
Remember smoking cigarettes on my roof
Where we thought no one could see
Remember watching Always Sunny
Way after everyone fell asleep
Remember bong rips in my room
And going out in spring to watch the flowers bloom
Ever stop to think of me?
Ever stop to miss me?
Probably not, that's okay
Tell me next time you're in Philly
After all the time we spent, after all the things you said
I never really knew what you meant, sorry I let you down again
Remember bong rips in my room
And hanging out in summer to watch cartoons
Ever stop to think of me?
Ever stop to miss me?
Probably not, that's okay
I don't expect anything
Sorry I ran away
Sorry I left you alone
Sorry this is how it is
But I really had to go

I can't wait to see your face
And everything that makes you great
It's so hard to see the light
Through the thickness of the night
I can't even say I'm sorry
Without starting another fight
It's hard to pick up the pieces
Of all the puzzles not completed
I wish we were there for each other
Whenever we needed
I'm sorry that I call
Sorry I pushed you away at all
But maybe things will be better
When I get home next fall
And I guess I'm lonely
Maybe this song means nothing
Nothing at all
I'm so tired of sleeping
Wishing my life was all a bad dream
It's so hard to pick up the pieces
Of all the puzzles not completed
I wish we were there for each other
Whenever we needed
I think I need you

Left your boyfriend for me
I tried to do things right
I tried to make you happy
You were my flash of light
Could we covert every minute
We spent together
Into months or years
And have it last forever
Was I ever romantic
Or just completely hopeless?
I have to stop crying
Oh god, I'm such a mess
Is there a word for
Extreme love and hatred?
Because that's how I feel
When you're in my head
Did you lie to me
About how you felt?
This is my life
The cards I've been dealt
Vivian
Can you hear me?
Please give me hope
So I can be happy
Vivian
I'll leave you be
I'll go away
I want you to be happy
Without me

Lyrics:
Never thought I'd fall as hard
as when I fell out of my car
waiting for things to go dark
I don't know where we are
my body went numb
you might think it's dumb
but I thought that I would die
does that sound like a lie to you?
It's 3 am
I can't sleep
I went to Wawa
so I could eat
a meatball sub
and I can smoke
maybe now I won't
be so low
I'm out of nicotine
out of THC
how much more useless
could I be
my coil's burnt
why won't anything work
I should've known
my battery was low
too bad I crashed my car
no need to wash it anymore
I don't know what to say
I just wanna stay
in bed today
and this buzz hasn't even
gotten me through the day
and I'm trying to figure out
what you could possibly have to say
everything is tired
and everything is boring
I can't comprehend
why I'm even worrying
anymore
my brain is melting
my heart is pounding
sweat is dripping
wish I could've done something
my food is too hot
broke the vape I just bought
could you chill out?
I'm going through a lot right now
It's 3 am
I'm on the ground
I need a lift
can't make a sound
it all went so fast
these things never last
feels like I can't breathe
help me please
out of nicotine
out of weed
I can't get up
I think I'm fucked
too bad I crashed my car
no need to wash it anymore
I don't know what to say
I just wanna stay
too bad I crashed my car
no need to wash it anymore
I don't know what to say
I just wanna stay in bed all day
all day
all day
all damn day
