Late night, spotlight Playing our one good song You walk in, styling With a Beartooth t-shirt on so tight Can’t fight You never looked so good Trying to act like I wouldn’t see you But you knew I would You never seemed into it in high school So maybe it’s crazy to believe That even though you’ve got your arm around someone You’d rather be with me But no dice; he’s nice Always been a friend Wish I had a logical objection But he’s the perfect gentleman It’s selfish from the start Want you to break his heart All I want is you I’m in over my head Can you tell I don’t know what to do? All I want is you But I know in my heart that I don’t deserve to Now I got tunnel vision and I can’t see through Driving barefoot, I wish I was in his shoes But I’m here, you’re there Looking me up and down Bet you’d wanna take me home If you weren’t here with him right now How is it I never saw this in you? And even if I did, could it be true That maybe all along we could have been together If I had a clue? But too late; it’s fate That brought you to him It tempts me I can’t see why I never seem to win It’s like I wanna hurt I must have a lot of nerve Maybe we’ll start talking again You must have liked my band since you stayed ‘til the end Maybe you’ll say we can be friends I’ll pretend that there’s more to this tension than you intend But I know in my heart that I don’t deserve to

I tried to tell myself that I was over you But I kept thinking about all the things we used to do You’ve traded it in for a guy who ruined your life Without even thinking about what you did to mine I don’t know if I could face you now I don’t know if I could look you in the eye Knowing that I’ll never get the chance to call you mine I don’t know why you’d even tell me That you want to see me there ‘Cause it’s a lie and you know it You’re just wanting me to care But I hope that you remember all the times that we shared From now on, I’ll be a memory And it’s not fair You’re trying to get me back Just like you did before You always say the right things But I can’t take it anymore Have you heard all the songs I wrote With my heart on the line? You can call this the last one I’m done wasting my time ‘Cause I don’t know if I can face you now I don’t know if I can look you in the eye Knowing that I’ll never get the chance to call you mine As if you care about me You never did Not gonna lie and say you loved me Not gonna call it in the air I spent so long avoiding tension And you seem so unaware

Always had high hopes as a kid But I had no plan Didn’t know if I could do it Stuck in a town near Akron, Ohio Playing crappy shows at the Gyro Mom said, “You need a change of scenery.” Dad shed a tear as he hugged me goodbye Knowing I would make my mark But it’s just the start of a war I'll fight 'til I die Some say I'm never gonna make it But what does that mean now? At least I'm making moves I’m doing better than them I'm getting out of my hometown This is for all the kids back home With hopes and dreams just like my own Gonna make them proud And if I go out, leave the engine running We’ve all got opinions But you’re better off listening It’s my life to waste The hit’s just a taste of what’s been coming Been here for a little while Can’t seem to find my scene or style I know what they think and it might be fair That I can’t copy Blink and expect to go anywhere So I’ll just keep doing me And someday soon I will make them see That I was meant to do great things To find my crowd and give them a song a sing Some said I’ll never make it But what does that mean now? At least I made my move I’m doing better than them I got out of my hometown You’ll start with just a couple friends No ways or means to an end And maybe when a hundred people listen You won’t have to pretend ‘Cause you could go a thousand years A thousand miles to feel it again That rush that feels like a million bucks How much are you willing to spend?

I spent my days trying to find out the ways That I messed things up between us But then I realized it wasn't my fault at all 'Cause in the end, you just let me take the fall Don't think that I can't see right through you 'Cause I won't take the blame anymore You're not the person that I thought I knew I'm not the same, and you're to blame Yeah, things have changed We've gone our separate ways And I can't help myself but think that this was a mistake You'll just go on and make a nice guy one of your other heartbreaks So don't pretend that you're the victim Soon, everyone will know the truth of how you used me Now you're using him It's not a game, and you're to blame We don't deserve it and we won't take it You'll go around pretending You can take advantage of every guy in your life And in the end, they'll hate you You're the one to blame I'm sick of you and all your stupid games And all the ways you try and take us down Take your commitment issues somewhere else I won't let you get away with it anymore

Never been good at saying how I feel Never thought I'd get the chance to make this real It's surreal... Living at a distance when we're not to blame Looking through a screen at you is not the same It's so lame that being apart is the name of the game There's not a lot of options when we're stuck in this situation Trying to find love in a world of self-isolation I could be the one you can't live without Can't get close enough to ease your doubt But timing is everything and everyone’s is running out It's all running out Never knew that calling you could feel this rough Every time we talk, your voice is breaking up It keeps breaking up Wanna be there with you but I know I can't You make me wanna risk my health to hold your hand Don't wanna Stay-At-Home and wait Months and weeks made up of days Hours spent thinking of everything we'd do If you wanted to escape this hell We're separated by glass, each in our own cell We’re plugged into machines, like we’re living in a simulation Trying to find love in a world of self-isolation I could be the one you can't live without Can't get close enough to ease your doubt But timing is everything and everyone’s is running out It's all running out I just want us to be together I look at you and I want forever Just tell me that I'm not crazy That we'll be together someday I could be the one you can’t live without But timing is everything and everyone’s is running out
