Your Own Medicine

I’ve been waiting for the day when you’d finally feel the same
Letdown confusion that has plagued your past mistakes
From the preacher to the martyr you left your messages unfiltered
And when the pen is pointing back the other way, what do you have to say?
Was it all too much to handle or are the reasons meaningless?
Have you struggled with the thought that this is exactly what you get?
For the people you have held back from breaking out and strengthening
The bond that you were breaking for your god damn selfish needs
Selfishly, you don’t deserve me
Selfishly, you don’t deserve me
I hope that you enjoy all that you read
And the taste of your own medicine has been so bittersweet
And I’m best known for holding grudges but words fall through my teeth
I won’t spend another night waiting for who you’re supposed to be

Write me a story with all the lies you want to speak
the passion that you can’t remember
You lost control of everything, you couldn’t stand the heat
So pack your shit and leave us to fall apart like were dead without our missing puzzle piece
We won’t let this break us down
We’re better off without you around
I’ll prove myself the only way that I know how
Embrace my demons and use my voice to let them out
My growing temper feels the pressure of all who left before, my unsettled scores
I’m passive aggressive, and I hope you learn your lesson when the guilt trip hits your door
I don’t want to settle for your second bests and we’ll work it outs
All that matters are the words leaving my mouth
We won’t let this break us down
We’re better off without you around
I’ll prove myself the only way that I know how
Embrace my demons and use my voice to let them out
Like you think you know me
Like you think you could predict our fall
Like my father told me
Take no prisoners in war
Like you think you know me
Like you think you could be better off
Like my father told me
Take no prisoners in war
We won't let this break us
We won't let this break us down
We won't list this break us
We won’t let this break us down
We’re better off without you around
I’ll prove myself the only way that I know how
Embrace my demons and use my voice to let them out

Backbone

An honest moment, a feeling I tried so hard to fight
I've been let down more than twice by a standard you set in your mind
Through all your lies my best intentions were heart in hand and opened eyes
You pushed it all aside with the ego you couldn’t hide
Footprints down my spine; you walk it off this time
While I waste all of mine, Returning nothing for
Giving everything inside
But I'll always be wrong and you'll never take my side
I thought we shared a common purpose and thought we were so much alike
But the distance turned to difference and a mountain that I cannot climb
And all the state lines better separate when our paths divide
Cause I don't need to repeat all these...
Footprints down my spine; you walk it off this time
While I waste all of mine, Returning nothing for
Giving everything inside
But I'll always be wrong and you'll never take my side
I said
If I can't take that place I'll try to shoulder all the weight
You placed upon my backbone breaking every time
You tore me down to force me out
So why is your pride worth so much more than mine?
Footprints down my spine; you walk it off this time
While I waste all of mine, Returning nothing for
Giving everything inside
But I'll always be wrong and you'll never take my side

It’s been too much time since that state of mind crossed my threshold again
The way you smiled so God damn bright I welcome you in
So how could I concede that all the blame was placed on me
Second chances were nothing you or I could keep
If I fall into a wasted headspace, not sure I’ll keep you out of it
You hold my attention while I’m weak and questioning the purpose of these games
Of start and stop we play while the feeling slowly fades
I’m not holding a grudge for every excuse that you made
Why won’t you hear me (you won't hear me) calling for relief when nothing’s said?
I’m sick from the nights I spent writing all my hate away
I hope that you never return to your place inside my head (inside my head)
Cause I’m fucked again if you come back
When you come back
Don’t come back

Well I’ve tried to frame these thoughts inside a storybook ending
Well they've been drawn and we’re all caught in this trap of just pretending
That everything’s been kept so far out of reach,
But I never paid attention to the words that they all preached
Have they told you that talk is cheap?
So keep on talking like you think you know what I hold deep
It’s time we break apart the spell and all the secrets that we keep
Our ghosts come out full force when I’ve been least expecting
And haunting every one of my dreams in a fight I’m not defending
And they tried to warn me right from the start
Yet I followed intuition and wound up with so much less heart (less heart)
Have they told you that talk is cheap?
So keep on talking like you think you know what I hold deep…
It’s time we break apart the spell and all the secrets that we keep
Your presence should have no effect here anymore
I've seen straight through your shit and I’ve never been so sore
So give me back the last ten years, and with the pride I still have left
I promise I won’t become another victim of your theft
Your picture’s burning, and I’m still learning how to keep my distance
Your picture’s burning, and I’m still learning how to keep my distance
I'm gonna keep my distance

Playing On Repeat

I swear I heard you speak, I swear you were whispering so sweet
While you danced under the moonlight in my familiar fantasy
I wanted you to stay beside me with every fever dream
Where your memory rings out like notes played on every string
You were my soundtrack playing on repeat
Every word you sang to me always kept me hanging
Until you find another reason to leave,
I hope you’ll keep a part of me
Tugging at your heartstrings
Maybe at another place and time is what you sold me
As the last remaining promise that I know you wouldn’t keep
I let myself get carried away on the words that hold no weight
It’s funny how you changed the more I felt the same
You were my soundtrack playing on repeat
Every word you sang to me always kept me hanging
Until you find another reason to leave,
I hope you’ll keep a part of me
Tugging at your heartstrings
I’ll tattoo a heart to my left arm so I'll never worry when I lose it all over again
And I’ll pretend this hollow feeling wasn’t left with me at birth
And now that I'm done accepting your worst
This skipped beat will always be my curse (will always be my curse)
You were my soundtrack that was playing on repeat (playing on repeat)
Every word you sang to me no longer leaves me hanging
And I know you'll never keep a part of me (a part of me)
And you'll never take the heart sewn on my sleeve
