Skeleton

[Chorus]
Skin and bones, vulnerable
Crack my ribs and make me whole
Come and breathe the air into my lungs
I just wanna be your skeleton

[Verse 1]
A silhouette is following
Just waiting to break me down
I had it good, that's what I get
I guess that it's my turn now
Cut the wires, tangled, twisted
To find me again
Fracture, break me into pieces
'Til all that I am
[Chorus]
Skin and bones, vulnerable
Crack my ribs and make me whole
Come and breathe the air into my lungs
I just wanna be your skeleton
Fix my head, stitch my soul
Find out where it all went wrong
Come and breathe the air into my lungs
I just wanna be your skeleton
Skeleton

[Verse 2]
A blinding pain behind my eyes
Is covering up the truth
Inside my brain's a parasite
That's telling me what to do
Feeding on my happiness
Like I never deserved it at all
(I never deserved it at all)
Feeling like a pessimist
When I just wanna laugh through it all
(To laugh through it all)

[Chorus]
Skin and bones, vulnerable
Crack my ribs and make me whole
Come and breathe the air into my lungs
I just wanna be your skeleton
Fix my head, stitch my soul
Find out where it all went wrong
Come and breathe the air into my lungs
I just wanna be your skeleton
Skeleton
[Verse 3]
I project pain with the frame that I maintain
Pulling on chains, wanna break what I can't change
All of that rage put away in my ribcage
Comes out in stages, how could I stage this?
Bending over 'til you break your back for this
Go 'head and crack my ribs, and take my oxygen
I'm damned if I do or I don't, I'm breaking my bones
Can't make it alone, no
Making such a mess (hey)
It's getting permanently painted in my head (hey)
And there's no going back, so love me like I'm dead (hey)
Until there's nothing left (hey)
And watch me decompose (hey)
'Til I'm

[Chorus]
Skin and bones, vulnerable
Crack my ribs and make me whole
Come and breathe the air into my lungs
I just wanna be your skeleton
Fix my head, stitch my soul
Find out where it all went wrong
Come and breathe the air into my lungs
I just wanna be your skeleton
Skeleton
Projector
[Chorus]
So light me up, my little projector
And eat me up like Hannibal Lecter
Then turn us from a friend into strangers
'Cause you'll never admit that you're wrong
Enough's enough, projector
So sit us down and give a new lecture
Then wear us out like ugly old sweaters
You bummed me out 'til I wrote a song
Enough's enough, projector
[Verse 1]
Shut the fuck up, please
You flap your gums until I wanna pull my teeth
You may invade their brain
And wear them down into insane to say
“Oh wow!”, “Oh word!?”, “That's wild, I agree”
But that cannot be me
I see through evеry smile like twenty thrеad count sheets
Apologize or die, you'd choose the latter not the right to be a decent
human being just for once

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm talking to a wall again
Why do I even try?

[Chorus]
So light me up, my little projector
And eat me up like Hannibal Lecter
Then turn us from a friend into strangers
'Cause you'll never admit that you're wrong
Enough's enough, projector
So sit us down and give a new lecture
Then wear us out like ugly old sweaters
You bummed me out 'til I wrote a song
Enough's enough, projector

[Verse 2]
Shh, listen more talk less
I've seen this film before and I know how this ends
You tell me how you're right to light relationships on fire
And try to lock us all inside because you're wrong
Wow, look at your success
You shit on all your friends and blamed 'em for the mess
But I don't need to believe everything that I read
I can see there's a demon that's stealing my peace
A disease that never leaves until I sing through gritted teeth

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm talking to a wall again
Why do I even try?

[Chorus]
So light me up, my little projector
And eat me up like Hannibal Lecter
Then turn us from a friend into strangers
'Cause you'll never admit that you're wrong
Enough's enough, projector
So sit us down and give a new lecture
Then wear us out like ugly old sweaters
You bummed me out 'til I wrote a song
Enough's enough, projector
(Projector, projector, projector)
[Bridge]
If stubborn is as stubborn does
You've done enough tonight
I'm talking to a wall again
Why do I even try?

[Chorus]
So light me up, my little projector
And eat me up like Hannibal Lecter
Then turn us from a friend into strangers
'Cause you'll never admit that you're wrong
Enough's enough, projector
So sit us down and give a new lecture
Then wear us out like ugly old sweaters
You bummed me out 'til I wrote a song
Enough's enough, projector
[Post-Chorus]
Shut the fuck up please (projector, projector)
Shut the fuck up please (projector)
So light me up, my little projector
Cut off
[Verse 1]
I'm a thrill-seeker, yeah, I'm crazy for real
I'm a tightrope walker, stumble head over heels
You're a blown speaker buzzin' inside my ear
Just an overplayed song that people don't wanna hear

[Pre-Chorus]
You make me socially awkward
The way you cook up the drama
So now I scan the room to make an escape
'Cause you're my winter in summer
Was such a shock to discover
That feelin' safe would be my greatest mistake
[Chorus]
You're cut off, so get lost
You're so strung out on my trust 'cause you abused it to death
You'rе cut off, so dream on
'Cause I'm thinking that I nevеr wanna see you again
(Heh-Heh)

[Verse 2]
Made me so skeptical I can't trust myself
I'm a paranoid pilot flying hands off the wheel
When you're so reckless with deception, it's hell
So let's crash and burn quick so we forget how to feel

[Pre-Chorus]
You make me socially awkward
The way you cook up the drama
So now I scan the room to make an escape
'Cause you're my winter in summer
My sleeping pill in my soda
A coma so deep that I'll never wake (Ha!)

[Chorus]
You're cut off, so get lost
You're so strung out on my trust 'cause you abused it to death
You're cut off, so dream on
'Cause I'm thinking that I never wanna see you again
You're cut off, so get lost
You're so strung out on my trust 'cause you abused it to death
You're cut off, so dream on
'Cause I'm thinking that I never wanna see you again

[Bridge]
Subconsciously oblivious, I never learn
You got me socially awkward (Subconsciously oblivious)
The way you cook up the drama
So now I scan the room to make an escape (I never learn)
'Cause you're my winter in summer
My sleeping pill in my soda (Subconsciously oblivious)
A coma so deep that I'll never wake up

[Chorus]
You're fucking cut off, so get lost
You're so strung out on my trust 'cause you abused it to death
You're cut off, so dream on
'Cause I'm thinking that I never wanna see you again
You're cut off, so get lost
You're so strung out on my trust 'cause you abused it to death
You're cut off, so dream on
'Cause I'm thinking that I never wanna see you again

[Outro]
I'm thinkin' that I never wanna see you again
(Yeah, I'm good)
Loose cannon
[Verse 1]
Soft lines, cut me like a knife
You make a mess of my head
When you tell me I'm defensive
Can’t help, keeping me in hell
We're spittin' words with no filter
Going in for the kill, you’re...

[Pre-Chorus]
Standing on my back
Can feel my heart start beating faster
When you tell me to relax
You light the match
[Chorus]
You got me like a loose cannon (Loose cannon)
Na-na-na-na
You got me 'bout to do damage (Do damage)
Na-na-na-na
Go ‘head and take your shot, inflict it
But you’re not predicting what I’ll do, dammit (Do, dammit)
You got me like a loose cannon
[Verse 2]
Train wreck, there ain't nothing left
I’m on the brink of destruction
I can’t think, I can’t function
New eyes, I don't recognize me
Giving into my dark side
When you push me this far, I’m...

[Pre-Chorus]
Falling on my back
Can feel my heart start beating faster
When you tell me to relax
You light the match

[Chorus]
You got me like a loose cannon (Loose cannon)
Na-na-na-na
You got me 'bout to do damage (Do damage)
Na-na-na-na
Go ‘head and take your shot, inflict it
But you’re not predicting what I’ll do, dammit (Do, dammit)
You got me like a loose cannon
[Bridge]
Standing on my back
Can feel my heart start beating faster
When you tell me to relax
You light the match
You got me like I’m past the point of coming down
I’m up in arms, you’re out of bounds
You push me, bend me, break me till I snap

[Chorus]
You got me like a loose cannon (Loose cannon)
Na-na-na-na
You got me 'bout to do damage (Do damage)
Na-na-na-na
Go ‘head and take your shot, inflict it
But you’re not predicting what I’ll do, dammit (Do, dammit)
You got me like a loose cannon

[Outro]
(Yeah! Ha-ha-ha-ha! Woo!
You got me, yeah, you got me
Yeah-yeah, you got me)
You got me like a loose cannon
Why do I
[Verse 1]
Sometimes I write you letters that you'll never read
When I get to drinkin’, I get to thinkin’
I wish you were thinkin’ about me (Why do I?)
Sometimes I look for girls that look the way you do
So fucking stupid, started to do it
When I saw you with someone new (Why do I?)

[Pre-Chorus]
It's been ten months and twenty days
I'm the last thing that's on your brain
[Chorus]
So why do I still wake up, two in the morning
Cold sweats screamin’ your name
Why do I get drunk and look at your pictures?
Why do I feel this way?
Why do I do this to myself?
And why do I even try?
You don't, you don't
So baby, why do I?
(Why do I? Why do I? Oh, oh! Uh!)
[Verse 2]
Some nights I think about the last time that we talked
Back in November, maybe December
All I remember's that you called me a piece of shit
Said you never wanna see my face again
You regret everything we ever did
You're obviously over it, so over it

[Chorus]
So why do I still wake up, two in the morning
Cold sweats screamin’ your name
Why do I get drunk and look at your pictures?
Why do I feel this way?
Why do I do this to myself?
And why do I even try?
You don't, you don't
So baby, why do I?
(Why do I? Why do I? Hey-ay, yeah!)

[Pre-Chorus]
It's been ten months and twenty days
I've been wonderin’ the same damn things
[Chorus]
So why do I still wake up, two in the morning
Cold sweats screamin’ your name (Woo!)
Why do I get drunk and look at your pictures?
Why do I feel this way?
Why do I do this to myself? (Why?)
And why do I even try?
You don't, you don't
So baby, why do I?
(Oh, yeah!)

[Outro]
(You don't, you don't
Why do I? Why do I?
You don't, you don't
So baby, why do I?
You don't, you don't
Why do I? Why do I?
You don't, you don't)
So baby, why do I?

As good as it gets
[Verse 1]
They tell me that I’m ten feet tall
Then tell me why I feel so small
I’d break my neck to have it all (To have it all)
I’m back down on my knees again
I'm feelin’ like there’s nothin’ left
I’d break my neck to get ahead (To get ahead)

[Pre-Chorus]
And I think it’s my fault that I’m hitting this wall
That I built for myself
'Cause the minute I get what I said that I wanted
It’s never enough
[Chorus]
Is it as good as it's ever gonna be, ever gonna be?
What if I peaked too soon?
Is it as good as it's ever gonna be, evеr gonna be?
What have I got to lose?
Thеre’s gotta be more than this
There’s gotta be somethin’ I missed
As good as it’s ever gonna be, ever gonna be
Hell nah-na-na-na-na, this ain't as good as it gets

[Verse 2]
Living like I’m on the run
But I don’t even know what from
I can’t go back until I won

[Pre-Chorus]
And I think it’s my fault that I’m hitting this wall
That I built for myself
'Cause the minute I get what I said that I wanted
I want something else

[Chorus]
Is it as good as it's ever gonna be, ever gonna be?
What if I peaked too soon?
Is it as good as it's ever gonna be, ever gonna be?
What have I got to lose?
There’s gotta be more than this
There’s gotta be somethin’ I missed
As good as it’s ever gonna be, ever gonna be
Hell nah-na-na-na-na, this ain't as good as it gets

[Guitar solo]

[Chorus]
Is it as good as it's ever gonna be, ever gonna be?
What if I peaked too soon?
Is it as good as it's ever gonna be, ever gonna be?
What have I got to lose?
There’s gotta be more than this
There’s gotta be somethin’ I missed
As good as it’s ever gonna be, ever gonna be
Hell nah-na-na-na-na, this ain't as good as it gets

[Outro]
There’s gotta be more than this
There’s gotta be somethin’ I missed
As good as it’s ever gonna be, ever gonna be
Hell nah-na-na-na-na, this ain't as good as it gets

Who’s in control
[Verse 1]
Open up my box and pull the string
Am I just a musical machine for ransom?
I will only listen if you scream
Lose your voice for me and I will sing your anthem

[Pre-Chorus]
Living in fear, living afraid
Hysterical every day
All because I let your poison paralyze me
[Chorus]
So tell me who's in control?
I'm confused, I don't know
Tell me who's in control, now
So tell me who's in control?
Is it you? I don't know
Tell me who's in control, now
My life is yours to hold

So tell me who's in control

[Verse 2]
But this wasn't what I signed up for
Spending more stress than I can afford
And then some
Killing me with almost no remorse
Feeling better when I just ignorе your presence

[Pre-Chorus]
Living in fеar, living afraid
Hysterical every day
All because I let your poison paralyze me

[Chorus]
So tell me who's in control?
I'm confused, I don't know
Tell me who's in control, now
So tell me who's in control?
Is it you? I don't know
Tell me who's in control, now
My life is yours to hold

[Refrain]
Open up my box and pull the string
Am I just a musical machine for ransom?

[Pre-Chorus]
Living in fear, living afraid
Hysterical every day
All because I let your poison paralyze me

[Chorus]
So tell me who's in control?
I'm confused, I don't know
Tell me who's in control, now
So tell me who's in control?
Is it you? I don't know
Tell me who's in control, now
My life is yours to hold

[Outro]
Tell me
So tell me who's in control, now
My life is yours to hold
So tell me who's in control, now
My life is yours to hold
Taste of the good life
[Intro]
Don't act so surprised
Gave an inch, you took a mile
Oh, what a, what a waste
When you choked on a taste
A taste of the good life

[Verse 1]
What if you loved yourself less
Try being selfless
Stepped out the haunted mansion
Where you've been livin’
Went from mentor to menace
In a few seconds
From living to a death wish
Like that makes legends
[Pre-Chorus]
You traded, you traded me in
Were you trading, you trading up?
You cashed in your, you cashed in your friends
To get better drugs (Really?)

[Chorus]
But don't act so surprised
Gave an inch, you took a mile
Oh, what a, what a waste
When you choked on a taste
A taste of the good life
But don't act so surprised
Buckle up, enjoy the ride
Oh, what a, what a waste
When you choked on a taste
A taste of the good life

[Verse 2]
A miserable magician
What's up your sleeve now?
Blamed me for being homeless
When you locked yourself out

[Pre-Chorus]
You traded, you traded me in
Were you trading, you trading up?
You cashed in your, you cashed in your friends
To get better drugs (Really?)

[Chorus]
But don't act so surprised
Gave an inch, you took a mile
Oh, what a, what a waste
When you choked on a taste
A taste of the good life
But don't act so surprised
Buckle up, enjoy the ride
Oh, what a, what a waste
When you choked on a taste
A taste of the good life

[Bridge]
Where did you go?
'Cause I don't know the stranger in front of me
Where did you go?
'Cause I've been wondering, wondering
Where did you go?
'Cause I don't know the stranger in front of me

[Chorus]
But don't act so surprised
Gave an inch, you took a mile
Oh, what a, what a waste
When you choked on a taste
A taste of the good life
High on your own supply
Buckle up, enjoy the ride
Oh, what a, what a waste
When you choked on a taste
A taste of the good life
Why not me
[Verse 1]
I'm watching my friends all succeed
Honestly, they deserve it
But I'm selfishly over here asking:
“Why not me?”
We're all driving to the same place
I'm just stuck in the slow lane
I impatiently wait while they pass me
Why not me?

[Pre-Chorus]
When I'm down and biting the dust
A little voice is shouting “get up”
'Cause when it hurts, I'm brushing it off
Dig down deep and say
[Chorus]
Why not me?
With the odds up against me
I'm not gonna let me down
Can't stop me
Might be down for the count
But don't you ever count me out
I take shots of pain, watch that flicker turn to flame
Dig down deep, say ”why not me?”

[Verse 2]
Fixated, I sharpen my teeth
Underdog's getting hungry
I've been biding my time, I've been waiting
Hide and seek, what I'm missing
The thoughts of me giving up fade away
'Cause I live it, I breathe it, I can't be defeated
That's when I say, “why not me?”

[Pre-Chorus]
When I'm down and biting the dust
A little voice is shouting “get up”
'Cause when it hurts, I'm brushing it off
Dig down deep and say

[Chorus]
Why not me?
With the odds up against me
I'm not gonna let me down
Can't stop me
Might be down for the count
But don't you ever count me out
I take shots of pain, watch that flicker turn to flame
Dig down deep, say “why not me?”

[Bridge]
Hide and seek, what I'm missing
The thoughts of me giving up fade away
'Cause I live it, I breathe it, I can't be defeated
That's when I say
(When I say, when I say)

[Chorus]
Why not me?
With the odds up against me
I'm not gonna let me down
Can't stop me
Might be down for the count but
Don't you ever count me out
I take shots of pain, watch that flicker turn to flame
Dig down deep, say “why not me?”
Dangerous
[Verse 1]
This is really my night, gonna take it right now
Yeah, I’m feelin like a Mack truck goin’ downhill
The people on the sidelines screaming “slow down”
But you can’t kill my vibe
I’m a head case and I’m leading the parade
Rounding up the maniacs, let ‘em out to play
Once you get a taste, no, you’ll never be the same
Bring the creatures to life

[Pre-Chorus]
My hand out the window just riding the wave
My cares in the mirror just fading away
Yeah, I’m superhuman, don’t need to be saved
Don’t press your luck, I wokе up feelin’ dangerous
[Chorus]
Woke up feelin’ dangerous
Wokе up feelin’-

[Verse 2]
This ones for the misfits
And all the people on your shit list
And now we’re blowing you a big kiss
'Cause we don’t need you now
I’m the little thorn hangin' outta your side
You’re digging me a grave 'cause you wish I’d just die
Turn me to a ghost, now I’m flyin' too high
And you can't kill my vibe

[Pre-Chorus]
My hand out the window just riding the wave
My cares in the mirror just fading away
Yeah, I’m superhuman, don’t need to be saved
Don’t press your luck, I woke up feelin’ dangerous

[Chorus]
Woke up feelin’ dangerous
Woke up feelin’-
They can’t mess with us
We woke up feeling dangerous
They can’t mess with us
We woke up feeling dangerous
They can’t mess with us
We woke up feeling dangerous
They can’t mess with us
We woke up feeling dangerous

[Outro]
This is really my night, gonna take it right now
Yeah, I’m feelin like a Mack truck goin’ downhill
The people on the sidelines screaming “slow down”
But you can’t kill my vibe

Cordial
[Verse 1]
Singing at the ceiling to a swing set melody
Life is like a season - it changes and it leaves
Tried to stop the bleeding, but some wounds never heal
If it's up to me to break it, it won't be even...

[Pre-Chorus]
Tragic or traumatic
How these habits can become so lethal
Madness; Fade to blackness
Try to thread that needle
Get back, what you give in
Why'd you give in and believe your lies
Survival by denial till you end up solo/so low
[Chorus]
Don't call it cordial if you can't get in touch
Don't call it cordial if we both hung it up
We can't get back to normal if we both play pretend
You call it cordial
Yeah, we’re so cordial, we can't even call it friends
Nah, we can't even call it friends
Yeah, we’re so cordial, we can't even call it friends
We can't even call it friends
Yeah, we’re so cordial, we can't even call it-

[Verse 2]
Drowning in the shallows, too proud to ask for help
You think I'm off the deep end, but you won't save yourself
I offered you a way out and you dug in both your heels
Blamed everyone around you as if it's real...

[Pre-Chorus]
Tragic or traumatic
How these habits can become so lethal
Madness; Fade to blackness
Try to thread that needle
Get back, what you give in
Why'd you give in and believe your lies
Survival by denial till you end up solo/so low

[Chorus]
Don't call it cordial if you can't get in touch
Don't call it cordial if we both hung it up
We can't get back to normal if we both play pretend
You call it cordial
Yeah, we’re so cordial, we can't even call it friends
We can't even call it friends
Yeah, we’re so cordial, we can't even call it friends
Nah, we can't even call it friends
Yeah, we’re so cordial, we can't even call it friends

[Refrain]
It won't be even tragic or traumatic
How these habits can become so lethal
Madness; Fade to blackness
Till you end up solo/so low, yeah

[Chorus]
Don't call it cordial if you can't get in touch
Don't call it cordial if we both hung it up
We can't get back to normal if we both play pretend
You call it cordial
Yeah, we’re so cordial, we can't even call it friends
We can't even call it friends
Yeah, we’re so cordial, we can't even call it friends
Nah, we can't even call it friends
Yeah, we’re so cordial, we can't even call it friends
We can't even call it friends

Magic 8
[Verse 1]
It seems she finally got a taste of fame
Caught a break, and critical acclaim
A glass of champagne, she started feeling safe
The black magic 8
No, it didn't feel the same

[Pre-Chorus]
And tomorrow's now misunderstood
'Cause it's reading “outlook not so good”
If these signs would point to "yes"
She could maybe feel the same
[Chorus]
So shake the magic 8 until it breaks, breaks, breaks
And close your eyes and take a leap of faith, faith, faith
Don't be afraid of going your own way, way, way
Shake the magic 8 until it breaks

[Verse 2]
So concentrate and ask again
Are we at the end?
We’rе starting to begin and mend
Oh, but then is happinеss a trend?
A friend, they once said
There's beauty in the pain

[Pre-Chorus]
And tomorrow's now misunderstood
'Cause it's reading “outlook not so good”
If these signs would point to "yes"
She could maybe feel the same

[Chorus]
So shake the magic 8 until it breaks, breaks, breaks
And close your eyes and take a leap of faith, faith, faith
Don't be afraid of going your own way, way, way
Shake the magic 8 until it
It breaks, it breaks, it breaks
It breaks my heart every time
Losing all rhythm and losing all rhyme
Control your fate, fate, fate
And shake the magic 8 until it breaks

[Bridge]
As she wipes her tears, she understands
That some things are simply out of hand
So she bides her time and counts the sand
And leans into the pain

[Chorus]
So shake the magic 8 until it breaks, breaks, breaks
And close your eyes and take a leap of faith, faith, faith
Don't be afraid of going your own way, way, way
Shake the magic 8 until it
It breaks, it breaks, it breaks
It breaks my heart every time
Losing all rhythm and losing all rhyme
Control your fate, fate, fate
And shake the magic 8 until it
It breaks, it breaks, the magic 8 until it breaks
(Heart, time, rhythm, rhyme)
Control your fate, fate, fate
And shake the magic 8 until it breaks

Playing with bad luck


[Verse 1]
It's a kinda day, it’s a kinda week, it’s a kinda year (No)
When you cut and paste
When you’re on your knees
When you’re out of tears (Damn)

[Pre-Chorus]
Examine every scar, I’m auditing my karma
Something just ain't addin' up
It’s close, but no cigar
I’m dancing in the dark
'Cause every light keeps shutting off
[Chorus]
I’m playing with bad luck (Oh)
And she doesn’t give up (Oh)
Sinking her teeth into my dreams
Again and again, I get up again
I’m playing with bad luck (Oh)
But now it’s just too much (Oh)
Sinking her teeth into my dreams
Again and again, I get up again

[Verse 2]
Goin' back in time
In my past life I must’ve crossed the line (No)
Because otherwise it would all be fine
Like a glass of wine

[Pre-Chorus]
Examine every scar, I’m auditing my karma
Something just ain't addin' up
It’s close, but no cigar
I’m dancing in the dark
'Cause every light keeps shutting off

[Chorus]
I’m playing with bad luck (Oh)
And she doesn’t give up (Oh)
Sinking her teeth into my dreams
Again and again, I get up again
I’m playing with bad luck (Oh)
But now it’s just too much (Oh)
Sinking her teeth into my dreams
Again and again, I get up again

[Bridge]
Not so harmless, my darlin'
Alarming how you scar me
Waiting and praying, afraid of feeling safe
(Examine every scar, I’m auditing my karma)
Shake me, awake me
(Something just ain't addin' up)
And save me from this bad dream
(It’s close, but no cigar, I’m dancing in the dark)
Fear setting in, oh my god, is it my fault?

[Chorus]
For playing with bad luck (Oh)
And she doesn’t give up (Oh)
Sinking her teeth into my dreams
Again and again, I get up again
I’m playing with bad luck (Oh)
But now it’s just too much (Oh)
Sinking her teeth into my dreams
Again and again, I get up again
I’m playing with bad luck (Oh)
And she doesn’t give up (Oh)
Sinking her teeth into my dreams
Again and again, I get up again

[Outro]
I’m playing with bad luck (Oh)
And she doesn’t give up (Oh)
Sinking her teeth into my dreams
Again and again, I get up again
(Eh, eh, eh)

Peekaboo
[Verse 1]
Think you’re so clever
When you hide behind your hands
And you feel invisible
You’re under pressure
When you tell us all a tale
It's a game of true or false
[Pre-Chorus]
So now you sneak around under my nose
And tell me how the story goes
I'm listening and poking holes, I know
So then I started to connect the dots
You gotta fall to learn to walk
But do you even have the strength to stop? Nah
[Chorus]
Quit playing peekaboo (peekaboo)
Do you really think I'm stupid?
I can still see you (peekaboo)
But you always stay the same
And play these childish games
So sparе some change
'Cause you don't havе to hide anymore, no
Quit playing peekaboo

[Post-Chorus]
Hide, you can hide
You can run, but you can't hide

[Verse 2]
So am I selfish to be sick of faking smiles
When all you do is play?
Pretend you’re helpless
Hell, at least in hide-and-seek
When you're caught, it ends the game

[Pre-Chorus]
So now you sneak around under my nose
And tell me how the story goes
I'm listening and poking holes, I know
So then I started to connect the dots
You gotta fall to learn to walk
But do you even have the strength to stop? Nah

[Chorus]
Quit playing peekaboo (peekaboo)
Do you really think I'm stupid?
I can still see you (peekaboo)
But you always stay the same
And play these childish games
So spare some change
'Cause you don't have to hide anymore, no
Quit playing peekaboo
Quit playing peekaboo
'Cause you don't have to hide anymore, no
Quit playing peekaboo

[Post-Chorus]
Hide, you can hide
You can run, but you can't hide
(Hide, you can hide
You can run, but you can't hide)
Do you even have the strength to stop? Nah

[Chorus]
Quit playing peekaboo (peekaboo)
Do you really think I'm stupid?
I can still see you (peekaboo)
But you always stay the same
And play these childish games (childish games)
So spare some change (spare some change)
'Cause you don't have to hide anymore (Nah-nah-nah-nah!)
Quit playing peekaboo (peekaboo)
Do you really think I'm stupid?
I can still see you (peekaboo)
But you always stay the same
And play these childish games (childish games)
So spare some change (spare some change)
'Cause you don't have to hide anymore, no
Quit playing peekaboo

Catch a break
[Intro]
Why can't I catch a break?
When everything's going my way?
I trip and fall flat on my face
Same tragedy, different day, yeah
Go

[Verse 1]
My luck's a rain cloud, follows me around
Soon as I'm up, pour misery down
Where is my coat?
Didn't know that I would need it
Foiled my plans, well, I'll be damned
You pulled out the rug so where do I stand
Losing control
Touch and go, feeling so cheated
(Ha, classic me)
[Chorus]
Why can't I catch a break?
When everything's going my way?
I trip and fall flat on my face
Same tragedy, different day, yeah
Why can't I catch a break?
When everything's going my way?
I trip and fall flat on my face
Oh, but I know, I'll be okay, yeah

[Verse 2]
Soon as it's good, soon as it's finе
I get blindsided evеry time
Down on myself, but I won't sit here defeated
Testing me, hard to breathe
Where did I go wrong?
Climbing through hell
Baby, it's just what I needed
(Ha, classic me)

[Chorus]
Why can't I catch a break?
When everything's going my way?
I trip and fall flat on my face
Same tragedy, different day, yeah
Why can't I catch a break?
When everything's going my way?
I trip and fall flat on my face
Oh, but I know, I'll be okay, yeah

[Bridge]
Put it in my hands
Watch it slip away
Same tragedy, different day
Put it in my hands
Watch it slip away
Same tragedy, different day
Put it in my hands
Watch it slip away
Same tragedy, different day
Put it in my hands
Watch it slip away
Same tragedy, different day
(Here we go again)

[Chorus]
Why can't I catch a break?
When everything's going my way?
I trip and fall flat on my face
Same tragedy, different day, yeah
Why can't I catch a break?
When everything's going my way?
Life take the wheels, slam on the brakes
Oh, but I know, I'll be okay, yeah

[Outro]
(Break, way, brakes)
Oh, but I know, I'll be okay, yeah

Better than this


[Verse 1]
Wide awake on the couch
Don't know what we're fightin’ about
This isn't the first time
Said some things I didn't mean
Acting like we're seventeen
I hate making you cry

[Pre-Chorus]
Running out of times to apologize
[Chorus]
I need to love you better than this
What am I doin’?
One more slip and I'm gonna lose you
I got to get my shit together and love you better, yeah
Better before you change your mind and slam the front door
Leave me behind
And I think I'd hate myself forеver
I need to love you bettеr than this
'Cause there's nothing better than this, no

[Verse 2]
Swear to God, I'll get it right
Won’t turn my best into a lie
I’ll pay more attention
I don't want all of this
To turn into what could've been
A chance at redemption

[Pre-Chorus]
Running out of times to apologize

[Chorus]
I need to love you better than this
What am I doin’?
One more slip and I'm gonna lose you
I got to get my shit together and love you better, yeah
Better before you change your mind and slam the front door
Leave me behind
And I think I'd hate myself forever
I need to love you better than this, oh, yeah
'Cause there's nothing better than this, no
[Bridge]
Shadows on the ceiling
Like I’m upside down and feeling
Like I don’t even know me at all
Waiting for permission
To be everything I’m missing
Isn't the way I planned this at all

[Chorus]
I need to love you better than this
What am I doin’?
One more slip and I'm gonna lose you
I got to get my shit together and love you better, yeah
Better before you change your mind and slam the front door
Leave me behind
And I think I'd hate myself forever
I need to love you better than this, oh, yeah
'Cause there's nothing better than this, no-no-no
I wanna love you better than this
There's nothing better than this, no
I need to love you better than this
