TGIF 01:22
we’ve always had this will they won’t they a real life sam and diane you’re on the other side filling up the cups And i’ve got empty drinks in my hand you’re blowing up my phone like dynamite but you never want to meet up i’m sick and tired of giving you advice about the other girls you’ve got cause it’s always you take two steps backwards when i take one step forward and it’s always you take one step forward when i’m moving on if i booked a ticket to the midwest do you think you’d meet me halfway i don’t give a fuck if you like springsteen you’re born to run, I’m born to stay i guess we’re better off as friends 11 seasons later it wasn’t meant to be but I’ve got this blind spot for you so I say lets wait and see But it’s always you take two steps backwards when i take one step forward and it’s always you take one step forward when i’m moving on

i can read your cold expression clear your desire for distance feels pretty sincere but when you're around i want you near sitting here dreaming that you will come here but my wish wont come true cause i know that you you don't want to love me anymore you don't want to love me anymore you don't want to love me anymore you don't want to love me anymore my tinder new dates are pretty great but that doesn't mean i'm not craving your embrace and my heart stops when i see your face but you don't want me, no you want your space and my wishes won't come true cause i know that you you don't want to love me anymore you don't want to love me anymore you don't want to love me anymore you don't want to love me anymore

i was seeing this real nice guy oh ya we were having a real nice time then you showed up again and i nearly lost my mind cause i thought that he can’t compare with your cool attitude and your long brown hair caught myself in the nick of time i might have loved you once but love can get it wrong i’m ready to learn from my mistakes i’m ready to move on you’ve got me hanging by a thread it’s extra weight i can help you to shed pull my switchblade out and cut the string now we’ve both got loose threads dangling don’t always need to tie up loose ends still seeing this real nice guy oh ya we’re having a real nice time and if you show up again i won’t pay you any mind cause i know now that you can’t compare with your shitty attitude and your greasy hair i got myself a keeper this time i might have loved you once but love can get it wrong i’m ready to learn from my mistakes i’m ready to move on you’ve got me hanging by a thread it’s extra weight i can help you to shed pull my switchblade out and cut the string now we’ve both got loose threads dangling don’t always need to tie up loose ends don’t always need to tie up loose ends don’t always need to tie up loose ends

sick heart 02:03
you came and you treated me like a queen now you’re gone and all i have is my inadaquacy you were fine but i’m still crying you were fine but i’m still crying my heart’s broke but not by you but from convincing myself of my undervalue you were fine but I’m still crying you were fine but I’m still crying (they say) only love can break your heart but I beg to differ there are many other things that make a sick heart sicker like projecting you’re worth on someone that you don’t know desperate for distraction instead of trying to grow trying to find anything to fill that hole that’s deep inside yourself when I met you I was listening to a lot of Frank Ocean which might account for my extra emotions you were fine but I’m still crying you were fine but I’m still crying i’ve got baggage and so do you and the signals in my brain they get so confused you were fine but I’m still crying you were fine but I’m still crying (they say) only love can break your heart but I beg to differ there are many other things that make a sick heart sicker like projecting you’re worth on someone that you don’t know desperate for distraction instead of trying to grow trying to find anything to fill that hole that’s deep inside yourself
