Lyrics

I will change everything, I will be something better
I'll take my hands and I'll write you a lovely love letter, I will
I'll try my best and I will, I'll put much better clothes on
I'll wash in places that only you know that I smelt wrong
Kiss my lips and touch my hair and tell me everything is gonna to be okay
Yeah, I'd like that
'Cause I've been staring at this photograph of me and you and I've not ate in days
And I don't like it
I know I could've been, should've been someone else but
I tried that once and it's not that good for my mental health
Still I wish that you were here but I know that's not okay and
I could pick up the phone but I've not got that much good stuff to say
Kiss my lips and touch my hair and tell me everything is gonna to be okay
Yeah, I'd like that
'Cause I've been staring at this photograph of me and you and I've not ate in days
Yeah, I don't like it
Now I'm not digging for wanky metaphors but it's just not black and white is it?
Life's a colourful thing when you look at it right
And everybody is a body and every body has a mind
But something got caught up between yours and mine
You told me once in a ticket line, I remember the way your hands felt that day
The way the light hit your face and how we thought we'd be okay
And if you could just walk down that path, and see that tree again in the garden
Would you really feel like it was all just some shit show you want to shovel right back behind your eyelids?
Like some mess to be abandoned, turn the clocks right back back and
These thoughts keep bashing me 'round, telling me it's all over
Throwing me at the walls and saying I won't make it through October
I might not make it until dawn
And like a lighthouse all alone out in the wind and in the storm
I'm holding on but it hurts, my hands are bleeding
And I know you won't hear me scream
And you know what really hurts the worst is you don't even want a single feeling
A single memory to carry on
I know we're way broke beyond the mend
And all the while I'm just living with
All the while I'm just living with the fact that I hate my best friend
I hate my best friend and my best friend hates me
Now what?
