I wrote this song.... a couple days straight.

by Highschool Lows

I wish that I could read minds
So that I could know what was going on in mine
Wish I could speak clear
Cause I would ask if you could please stay here.
Wish I could see you.
But I'm blinded dead, see what true love can do?
Woah, I'm falling off the edge again
And I need excuses for I don't wanna stand.
Woah, see what you did to me
If I chose who I was, why isn't this what I want to be?

And as this slowly changed
I kept on thinking it was all staged.
Rip me up, I'm laid out.
I'm coming home, won't you please lay down.

You've taken all my breath
I'm gasping on the floor making the most of what I've got left.
You've taken all my words
Speechless, love, is less than what you deserve.
Please take this song
As a token of my gratitude,
You know I'm never leaving you
But this is all that I can do
I hope it's okay.
Won't even open up to breathe,
Instead you opened up to me
And now I won't ever be the same.

And as this slowly changed
I kept on thinking it was all staged.
Rip me up, I'm laid out.
I'm coming home, won't you please lay down.
And as this slowly changed
I kept on thinking it was all staged.
Rip me up, I'm laid out.
I'm coming home, won't you please lay down.

I'm gone, baby I'm gone.
Open up to me, I'm singing our song.
This it it, it's all I can do.
I hope that it's okay with you.

A token of my gratitude,
You know I'm never leaving you
But this is all that I can do
I hope it's okay.
Won't even open up to breathe,
Instead you opened up to me
And now I won't ever be the same.
(I'm gone, baby I'm gone.
Open up to me, I'm singing our song.
This it it, it's all I can do.
I hope that it's okay with you.)

I used to swear to God like he could listen
Try me out girl you don't know what you're missing
I promise you I'm not the same,
Oh no girl I've changed..
And as this slowly changed
I kept on thinking it was all staged.
Rip me up, I'm laid out.
I'm coming home, won't you please lay down.

I don't want this to be
The last time that you see me,
But if we can't stand it,
I guess all hope's abandoned.
Couldn't go to sleep, trying to get away.
I wish that I could leave, but I really have to stay.
You are not my friend, no you belong to me
I wish that you had left me just a little room to breathe.
I don't even have a pair of legs to stand.
I stole your love and I sold it secondhand.
Girl, don't ever leave my side, because I need you here
The fire in your eyes has dried up all my tears.
This is not what I do
But I will if I have to.
I can't stay, no way I'm gone.
So long.
So long....
