Afternoon Tea With Bridget
As I stare down at this blank page
I'm finding myself lost for words to say
There's so many things I need to get off my chest
And the consequences only lead to more hurt
So open your eyes wide
Let in the sunlight
Your shadow consumes me
And I’m losing too much sleep
If you truly care then won’t you believe
That when I say I’m lost
Its 'cause you’re losing me
I’m slipping through your fingers and I’m trying to hold on
But you’re letting me fall cause your own hope is gone
She’s drowning in her head but as I dive in to save her
She pulls me under and I’m screaming for a saviour
Maybe just hold on, I’d carry you ashore
But your heart of stone, it keeps us under
Take a deep breath
Resuscitate, wake up and don’t be scared
I've got your heart locked in my hands
I had your heart
Locked in my hands
You’ve got your smile
That I have missed for so long
I’ve got your heart
locked in my hands
You’ve got your smile
So I’ll open my eyes wide
Let in the sunlight
Your shadow consumes me
And I’m losing too much sleep

She said there's one thing in life I've learned
We're all stronger than we thought we were
But I could never really grasp it
Always had trouble trying to adjust to things
Was it different ways of thinking?
Or freeing myself from conforming?
We never got used to the distance
Everything passes in an instant
And it’s never made sense to me
So I should wise up really
But I interpret things differently
I fuck up what I hold dearly
The way I see the world unclear
Sometimes I wonder how I’m still here
And my head is always aching
From hitting walls in my frustration
Oh humble, dear friend
Put my head to rest
I'm a living definition
Of all things morose
I couldn’t hold on to a vision
Although I’ve got so much to prove
And my only motivation is proving this to you
‘Cause when I fall, I fall hard
I still look up at your star
I try to recall what you said to me
It was something about never letting go of memories
The past makes us who we are
You pushed me way to far
My lungs are getting sore
Show me the fucking door

Wendy, Darling. Whatever.
If its what it takes to make you stay
Then you can be right about everything
My heart’s on my sleeve but you cursed all my dreams
Now I’m floating backwards, I’m drifting downstream
I know there's no blunt way to say it
but I can’t believe what you’ve done
I wish our story wasn’t so pathetic
I smoked my lungs out to forget it
I lied when I said that I never wanted
To see you again, it was exactly what I needed
And I feel so lost, not knowing who you are
And crawling into bed brings him back into my head so
I’ll just keep writing these awful songs about
Writing better songs about you
I know my tedious melodies
Won’t bring you down to your knees
I’m fucking sick of false apologies
And bullshit that you feed to me
That light in your eyes used to glow like the sunrise
I’ve been holding onto you
But I can’t hold on much longer
It’s starting to get colder
And I wish that I was stronger

Mother
Worthless at her given name
Is an understatement
She isn’t worthy of the blessing she was given
I take it she was on her own
She’ll claim it proudly
I never asked but I’m guessing he was waste of her time
I remember meeting you, I struggle to explain
For my age, you should not have been a stranger
Consistent battle in my head to call you out on this
But back then I was still a kid, I just accepted it
Seeing your face shroud with pain and disappointment
After the phone call that she made was for your brother
Hold it back, grit your teeth breathe in easy
What was it that you said?
“You don't miss what you never had”
I see through that fucking mother illusion
After everything, she's still looking for approval
I’m not sorry to say
She was better off without you
He was better of without you
We were better off without you

The Thing Is...
Open your ears
Your moral code's not as godly as you think
You're righteous and possessive and your attitude stinks kid
Bit my tongue for too long
Manipulate, mutate and snake around the heads of morons
I'm done and if you really see through me
You'll realise I lied when I said I was truly sorry
Bide my time while my teeth grind
Your competence in friendship's looking fucked from here
As the green smoke clears
If I sing it in a style you like then
Will it maybe get through to your head?
I've got more on the line than the sliver of your pride
I'm not sorry or playing Mr. Nice Guy
It's on your head and you've been a prick again
Are you listening? No
Never have and I know you never will though
Surprised you hear shit at all over your ego
What ever happened to respect and trust and was dependancy a word you used to build yourself up?
I know, you know and if you ask where next then I will tell you where to go
I couldn't stand by your side if I tried
I've got no intentions to hide but my snide
I couldn't stand by your side if I tried
You've got no alibi while my back eats your knife
You know you pushed me
Don't come back crying when the loneliness comes your way
If you still feel so fucking proud
How'd you like the sound of us now?
If I sing it in a style you like then
Will it maybe get through to your head?
I've got more on the line than the sliver of your pride
I'm not sorry or playing Mr. Nice Guy
It's on your head and you've been a prick again

I have nothing left to tell you
I guess your part just doesn't fit this role
Step back and take a look at yourself
Your insecurities are getting old
This seems somewhat familiar
They say my views on this are way too cold
I guess my friends are right when they say
“From time to time, you’re a fucking asshole”
And after all the shit I used to say
Why the fuck didn’t you just walk away?
I never listened to anyone but myself
I know now that that has to change
I won't ever look back and laugh at this
A memory I wish I could misplace
My shit excuses for this are endless
That's something I could never overstate
I'm pathetic and I'm helpless
Stupid reasons you could always see through
One day you'll see the light in this
And realize I was never good for you
I'd spare you a thought
But it's clear to see
It's not my fault you weren't enough for me
Sorry, you weren't enough for me
