Don’t you think you’ve had enough Feeling sorry for yourself Always trapped inside your head Never getting out of bed You’ve been feeling so alone But your friends are all blowing up your phone Hitting them up shouldn’t be this hard But you’re frozen where you are Don’t you think you’re getting sick Of feeling like a lunatic What’s it gonna take for you to quit I’m calling you to say I’m sorry for the wait I know it’s shitty how I’ve been so M.I.A. I don’t want you to think I don’t appreciate It’s just not easy feeling this way Stewing in your toxic thoughts Letting worries call the shots Wishing you could up and disappear To be fair, it’s been a pretty rotten year Maybe you can’t see the end But you’ve got time to pretend Carpe diem isn’t just a phrase Don't you just wanna run away Don’t you think you’re getting sick Of feeling like a lunatic What’s it gonna take for you to quit I’m calling you to say I’m sorry for the wait I know it’s shitty how I’ve been so M.I.A. I don’t want you to think I don’t appreciate It’s just not easy feeling this way It’s not that easy (It’s not that easy) It’s not that easy (It’s not that easy) It’s not that easy (It’s not that easy) It’s not that easy (It’s not that easy) I’m calling you to say I’m sorry for the wait I know it’s shitty how I’ve been so M.I.A. I don’t want you to think I don’t appreciate It’s just not easy feeling this way

Sympathy 03:52
I wanna know What's in your head When you leave so many words unsaid Did you forget What happened before When you showed me what you're standing for Is what you believe Something I couldn't bear to see It's killing me Oh, it’s killing me I need to let it out We're looking at the same page differently You need to work it out You're tearing up my sympathy, sympathy I need to let it out We're looking at the same page differently You need to work it out You're tearing up my sympathy, sympathy I couldn't ignore Signs of the fight Never thought I'd see this come to light But now it's clear What a shame How can I look at you the same Is what you believe Something I couldn't bear to see It's killing me Oh, it’s killing me I need to let it out We're looking at the same page differently You need to work it out You're tearing up my sympathy, sympathy I need to let it out We're looking at the same page differently You need to work it out You're tearing up my sympathy, sympathy I need to let it out We're looking at the same page differently You need to work it out You're tearing up my sympathy, sympathy I need to let it out We're looking at the same page differently You need to work it out You're tearing up my sympathy, sympathy

I remember the shadows hanging on the wall Of parties long forgotten Miss the faint shapes they left across my plaster hall And footprints left on my front lawn I miss the warmth Of friends I held So close cause now there’s only memories And everytime We said goodbye We never knew Which one would be the end So silent, I miss you all Wherever you are So silent, I miss you all Wherever you are Should have held on, to souvenirs I left behind The photos of a different time Now the streetlights are starting to come back to life Look for thoughts I couldn’t find I miss the warmth Of friends I held so close cause now there’s only memories And everytime (I miss) We said goodbye (You all) We never knew (I will) Which one would be the end (Recall) So silent, I miss you all Wherever you are So silent, I miss you all Wherever you are So silent, I miss you all Wherever you are So silent, I miss you all Wherever you are

Pearl 04:31
The hurt, oh it hurts The way l let you into me What’s the worth Was it worth it I think of all the things I learned The tears, oh there were no tears Well maybe just one when I knew you wouldn’t show You’re so sweet, oh so sweet But you’re not the one I need But maybe in a different world Maybe in a different time Maybe in a past life Maybe somewhere down the line We could go to film school We could become private eyes We could sail to London We could still believe the lies I stand in the sand Where we tried to build a home Now it’s gone, and you’re gone There’s no future left to sow Mistakes, I made mistakes Planted love in winter snow Now I know, heaven knows In these walls, no love can grow But maybe in a different world Maybe in a different time Maybe in a past life Maybe somewhere down the line We could watch a movie We could talk til morning light We could share our secrets We could still believe we tried (Maybe in a different world Maybe in a different time Maybe in a past life Maybe somewhere down the line We could go to film school We could become private eyes We could sail to London We could still believe the lies)
