whine
it’s the way i pour into you every day
until my glass is all dried up
you won’t share, you just down the wine
turn the bottle bottom side up
you didn’t ask me for more but i
thought i was doing what you wanted
i tried to toast to us, but you left me hanging
you warned you never finish what you started
i thought you were intoxicated but you
turned around and bought him a drink
now i’m left with a bottle i can’t afford
i’m sober so i just let the wine breathe

I haven't seen my dad in over 10 years
he shows up at my door and he's in tears
he said leaving me was his greatest fear
but now he's here?
he said he's very sorry
all he wanted was to party
I don't have to be so guarded
he is no longer departed from me
he said it's no surprise
he wants to apologize
he can't look me in the eyes
with that bullshit of a lie
but it's alright
I know why
he wants to be back in everyone's lives
to build the bridges over time
i don't think he'll realize
it's too late I've made up my mind
it's too late
it's too late
it's too late
it's too late
does he think that I am stupid
we have already bee thru this
how many times we gotta do this
in the past he has proven himself
now that I have settled
and my heart is made of metal
I will never forget all
of the times he has made a fool of me
I know that it's not smart
but he's playing the right cards
and I'm lookin at the charge
thinking this could be a bargain for me
he wants to be back in everyone's lives
to build the bridges over time
i don't think he'll realize
it's too late I've made up my mind
it's too late
it's too late
it's too late
it's too late

you'll never understand

you'll never understand
woke up on the floor again
from the sounds I heard below
it's the music that we used to play
you play for him the most
and I can't help but wonder
if they remind you of our times
we fell into each other
but now sit on different sides
will you ever see what we had
with some clarity of thought?
will you ever know how you gave up
the best thing you ever got
so you could take what we had
put it on somebody new
like a jacket from that shift store
that we always would go to
I hope my memory sticks around
like the last days of a cold
I hope you always hear in your head
the things that I had told
you about the way this would go down
you never listen
shoot it down
when it loses that glimmer
and the desire simmers off
you won't have me to climb over to
like I warned you from the start
you can lie and say you're sorry
that this isn't what you meant
but remember how I told you
you would never understand
you said there's better out there for me
I said that never mattered much
now I see that nothing
is so much more than enough
I just need some peace
from everything you put me thru
I don't have the time
to watch you fail at holding true
to the morals and the values
you swore that you had
but now, taken in this gust of wind,
you left them in the sand
think I left something of mine
in my panicked rush away
it was my trust I worked so hard
to give that you thoroughly betrayed
I hope my memory sticks around
like the last days of a cold
I hope you always hear in your head
the things that I had told
you about the way this would go down
you never listen
shoot it down
when it loses that glimmer
and the desire simmers off
you won't have me to climb over to
like I warned you from the start
you can lie and say you're sorry
that this isn't what you meant
but remember how I told you
you would never understand
you would never understand
you would never understand

better4u
sorry I'm not better4u
sorry I can't be what you want me to
I'm sorry I can't be who you want me to be
I can't turn this bitter coffee taste to a sweet tea
wish that I was worth the pain
wish I knew how to not chase you away
wish i kept you here like you kept me sane
it doesn't matter, I'm out of wishes anyways
wish I could be better4u
I never can be better4u
write a hundred letters4u
but you won't pull my tether toward you
could be so much better4u
hold my hand, forevermore you
pick my scabs it never bore you
hold myself together4u

a burning hill
today I will wear my white button down
tired of wanting more
I think I'm finally worn
for you have a way of promising things
and I've been a forest fire
I am a forest fire
and I am the fire
and I am the forest
and I am the witness watching it
I stand in a valley watching it
though you're not there at all
so today I will wear my white button down
I can at least be neat
walk out and be seen as clean
and I'll go to work
and I'll go to sleep
and I'll love some littler things
I'll love some littler things
