Echo

darling the pit of this valley it keeps me awake
waiting for words unspoken unsaid
waiting for you to mend me together again
but I still lie awake
this is my truth
my honest moment
find me a way to be free from here
I need an answer
I need some proof
why am I here
have you left me here forgotten cause it
seems like everywhere I've been
my footprints haunt me by falling and failing over again
I've heard before in this space
an echo I can't ever follow it keeps me awake

i really wanted it to work i swear
but if that's true why didn't i try
secretly hoping that you'd come around
even after i pushed you away
i really wish you stayed
but i'd never admit it
my pride got in the way
you should've said let's try it
to see if this is real
how we feel
you should've told me i was wrong
i know i'm selfish i can't help my ways
can't let my guard down cause i'm still afraid
i know i'm selfish i want it to change
if i let my guard down will you be the same
maybe you were what i needed
but i was too blinded to see
can't figure out why i act this way
for once i'll tell the truth
i told myself in solitude
he makes me feel at home
why can't I just admit it
with him I don't feel alone
i wish i would've tried it
to see if this was real
how we feel
you should've told me I was wrong
i know i'm selfish i can't help my ways
can't let my guard down cause i'm still afraid
i know i'm selfish i want it to change
if I let my guard down will you be the same
what do i do now
sitting here alone with doubts
do i risk it again
should i wait till the end
what do i do now
that you're already gone
should i take back what i said
is it okay for me to feel this way
i know i'm selfish i can't help my ways
can't let my guard down cause i'm still afraid
i know i'm selfish i want it to change
if I let my guard down will you be the same

you're the one i could believe in
you're the one i put my trust in
let's not cover our feelings here
it's all we have and I know it's clear
fade away with me
baby stay
baby stay with me
like rose petals all around me
you surround me stay
baby fade away with me
you surround me, stay
you're the one my heart can sing with
you're the one i want to start with
somehow i feel safe with you here
and you will stay
cause i know it's clear
everything about you got me saying ooh
ooh, ooh
everything about you got me saying babada babababa babababa
everything about you got me saying ooh
ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
baby fade away
fade away with me
baby stay
baby stay with me
like rose petals all around me
you surround me stay
baby fade away with me
you surround me, stay
baby fade away with me

i fail you constantly
you know my faults and all my worries
but your promise it remains
i know you never change
your love it always stays the same
and so i'll call on your name
i don't call this a religion
no i don't call this a religion
and i don't call on empty skies, no
i don't call on empty skies
i won't see anything less
than the scars that were left
beginning and the end
you outweigh the rest
empty hollow
breathe and out
just keep looking
dark or light
wake or sleep
these surroundings
you choose me constantly
you know my fears
wrote my whole story
and you choose me yet again
i know i always change
my fickle heart remains untamed
but i'll still call on your name
i don't call this a religion
no i don't call this a religion
and i don't call on empty skies, no
i don't call on empty skies
i won't see anything less
than the scars that were left
beginning and the end
you outweigh the rest
empty hollow
breathe and out
just keep looking
dark or light
wake or sleep
these surroundings

Pretty Little Things

had a glass of wine
is it such a problem
to want to do more
i'm headed for the issue
to work for something
that may open penniless doors
now I'm taking out frustrations on people i love
i want to hide the anger
but i suck at covering up
money is the answer they say
and money solves the question they say
pretty little things
will sparkle and shine
they'll never be bright enough to fill the hollow sound
pretty little things
will sparkle and shine
they'll never be bright enough
to compare to the light in your eyes
the light in your eyes
had a cup of coffee
the people that can help you
slowly drifting away
i'm walking into silence
expectations of previous
dreams running away
so i hold tight and i'll fight
cause i don't want to settle
it doesn't feel right
money is the answer they say
money solves the question they say
pretty little things
will sparkle and shine
they'll never be bright enough
to fill the hollow sound
pretty little things
will sparkle and shine
they'll never be bright enough
to compare to the light in your eyes
the light in your eyes
the light in your eyes
