Bleed 03:17
i spend my days holding breaths and steadying my hands it's hard when you're afraid i spend my nights out on the town wishing i was somewhere else it's hard when you're ashamed it's alright to leave i spend my summers chasing hopes and my winters giving up it's hard when you're afraid i do my drinkin on the floor cause the further down i fall the more i feel at peace it's alright to leave i remember what i like best is taking chances i remember what i like best is fucking up as hard as i can i remember what i like best is learning how to dance i remember what i like best is this i throw my voice out over love while kids all take their drugs it's hard when you're alone i count my friends on just one hand without them i can't stand the nights that i'm alone and they say it's alright to leave

i remember when you packed your bags i remember you were hiding your face that day i remember you leavin i got the letter that you left for me it said that you had tried your best and someday you'd hope that i'd understand cause boy as soon as i settle down i feel like running as soon as i skip town i start missin home i pray that i'll be back around but chances are i won't just don't let the good feeling die and don't give up hope i grew up hard but i turned out fine just finding reasons i should stay alive and i started writing them down boys on the corner taught me how to fight girls at the bar taught me how to treat them right but that was never enough cause boy as soon as i settle down i feel like running as soon as i skip town i start missin home i pray that i'll be back around but chances are i won't just don't let the good feeling die and don't give up hope hiding from life only gets you so far and picking up the pieces is getting old just keeping my eyes closed is harder than it looks but it's better than waiting by the phone i learned to spend when money's gettin tight i learned to burn things down i learned to drink all night stayin alone won't get you through the nights fallin in love is just killing time but it's better than waitin around to die cause boy as soon as i settle down i feel like running as soon as i skip town i start missin home i pray that i'll be back around but chances are i won't just don't let the good feeling die and don't give up hope

you catch her walking down the stairs she'll catch you staring and she smiles and grabs her bag and you wonder why she stays you ask her where she's from try to be smart, try to be clever she tries not to laugh and you woner why she stays and that time you drank too much when your father passed away and you were angry she just held your hand she just held your hand you hold the door and buy her drinks she'll watch you bleedin on a stage and everything changed and everything will change you tell her life feels short some days you come undone she tells you she's always been alone and still wonders why she stays she still wonders why she stays and that night that you stopped breathing she followed the ambulance and prayed for the first time in years and all your friends were there she stepped outside to catch her breath bumms a smoke from a stranger who says he used to be somebody she used to be somebody

i can still hear your voice in the hall i walked away knowing if i really leave i should call but i couldn't pick up the phone can't say a word with my heart in my throat i don't need to do this, i just need you to come home i'll be around if you miss me at all i'll be around if you miss me my heart hears the road when it calls if i don't keep moving i might have to face all my faults i couldn't stop this if i wanted to i can't put down this pen for me, let alone you i can't help singing, the same way i can't let you go i'll be around if you miss me at all i'll be around if you miss me these walls can spin stories, chorus and verse about how tired i am, and how i make it worse i might have friends all over the world but at home i'm still a ghost so one more drink and a smoke if i write this all down can i move out of this town alone this life that i lead looks stupid to most and feels like a joke but this man is the only man that i know how to be

Please Call 04:14
i can't help being the fool that i am it's no kind of life for grown men i swear there's some hope in these songs that i sing there might be some kids that should hear that but i wasn't there when you got home from work and i couldn't hold your hand i couldn't lay beside you and say i'm not leavin i couldn't be your man and i missed it missed the whole god damn thing i know that you hung in as long as you could i'm not much of a keeper these days but i can't help thinking if you really go i might pass away now it's just me and this thing that i hate a few pieces of wood and some strings there's no pride in the songs that i sing all they do is hurt the people i love and i missed it missed the whole god damn thing the joke about me is i get on a stage and i'm more honest with them than with you now you're leaving cause i can't put down my pen and somehow that makes sense i'm sorry that i wrote this all down like before i know that you hate that i'll just try to keep my blood inside of this wound i cut myself deeper than i, than i ever planned to and i missed it missed the whole god damn thing
