Day one, on my own, it's so cold in this house
I don't want to bother, but I know that I've found
A place I need to be
You know that it hurts,
I got what I need
Be happy, be happy,
The ones who love you still love you now
You're lonely, so lonely
In a house that's not quite home
I'm not a saint or a sinner in my eyes,
If we followed our moral compasses inside,
We'd shine not fade away
The pictures strip from the wall, a sold sign hangs from the door,
It won't be the same, history was made here
We piled the boxes on stairs, handwritten fragile take care
Left with the last remains of the past ten years

He held her hand, she drifts away
There must be something I can say
I wasn't there to say to goodbye
And I have my own reasons why
A grieving heart that breaks in two
I don't need it like you do
And if you're leaving that's just fine
Just leave me one last thing in mind
Can we take a walk outside
And watch the world come to life?
Maria, won't you come outside and play
Have you looked out your window, it's a beautiful day
We've seen the sunshine wash away the rain
Now Maria, won't you come outside and play?
I won't let this pass me by
I'm not afraid to live my life
And if you need me that's just fine
I don't need to see the signs
When we take a walk outside
And watch the world come to life

That Pretty Dress

I swim in water from a wishing well
I swore my secrets I will never tell
But then you saw a side of me
A part I thought you'd never see
A surface world of boy meets girl
Then girl takes world and turns it into hell
This one's not gonna be a sad song
Even though you dragged me through a long one
So here's my resignation, retired from infatuation
I'll take my time and I'll show myself the door
We used to laugh
We used to cry
We used to bottle up and keep it all inside
And now I see but you're still blind and wondering why
'cause you're a nice girl, but you love to lie
You're not the person that you led me to expect
What I look for in another is what your jealousy reflects
All of the stress from failing all your little tests
Lying side by side in bed with you was something that I wanted to forget
I swim in water from a wishing well
I keep my secrets; I will never tell
It's not my fault that you're content with second best
There's so much more to you than just that pretty dress
But you love to
We used to laugh
We used to cry
We used to bottle up and keep it all inside
And now I see but you're still blind and wondering why
'cause you're a nice girl, but you need to learn to laugh
Try not to cry
So raise a glass to better health and better times
And now I see why you're still sad and I'm just fine
'cause you're a nice girl but you love to lie

Lakeside

I'm missing light in the afternoon
But it's only as dark as your room
'cause anything's better than rain in December
This feeling is nothing new
This must have happened at the wrong time
I'm still looking for peace of mind
And I wish that I was keeping dry in Lakeside
But as hard as I try, I can't seem to fight the tide
We fool around on your old bedroom floor
But at least you can't pretend you wanted more
And then that time you stuttered on the phone
You can't have it all
The winter helps me reflect
'cause I'll never forget
The first time you undressed
With your head in my arms, and your hands on my chest
After such a long time of feeling like second best
I'm scared and I'm not afraid to show it
Everything I know from home is going
Standing by the window, it's snowing outside
An empty house in Lakeside
And I'm drowning in the tide
I'm not keeping dry in Lakeside
The pictures strip from the wall, a sold sign hangs from the door
It won't be the same; history was made here
We pile the boxes on stairs, handwritten 'Fragile - Take Care'
Filled with the last remains

You got me at my lowest and you didn't put me back
You left me hanging on the mantelpiece; I clawed myself right back
I didn't need a reason, no, I didn't drop a line
I let you hinder every moment, and you're still not worth my time
You're going to war and you're fighting yourself
You're staring at clocks that gather dust on the shelf
You're gonna miss it all
I know all your excuses so don't even waste your breath
I'll admit that I don't miss the taste of stale cigarettes
You never saw it coming, so I never second guessed
You always thought that you were right until the day I left
And you're losing your war, 'cause you're lost in yourself
And you're choosing to blame it on the hand that you're dealt
You're gonna miss it all
Why'd you say you love me when you didn't even care at all?
I'm not waiting on a second hand pity call
You tell me I'm useless
I say that you're lonely
At least I got better

Anywhere But Here
03:23

If I showed you what I've seen
You'd still be angry at me
If I let myself go blind
Would you see it through my eyes?
I can't fall down
When I'm barely standing at all
I can't get it right (It always was)
It haunts my nights (it always is)
For all my life (for always)
It Haunts me
Am I scared of letting go
Or letting go of being scared?
I'm not prepared
At the bottom of these spiraled stairs
Idle minded playing with your knotted hair
Passing time and wishing I was
Anywhere but here
