Now all of my lovers
Are on a first name basis
I'm all out of time
All out of faces
Now they devour each other
But they once devoured me
And in my last line of defense
I'm gonna praise you for your incompetence
The downward spiral
Was not mine to own
It was your own
You made your home
The trap is set
The soldiers are all deployed
Release the hounds
For the vulture boys

If he just gave up
If he just never tried again
Would I feel this way?
If you just gave up
As much as I gave up
Would I be where I am?
Why do you want this to be
When you've been so bad to me?
It would take one word
Yeah, just one blank text
You'd read between the lines
Waiting for a miracle
Hoping for a missed signal
We'd be going one more time
Why do you want this to be
When you've been so bad to me?
What you want me to be
Is just a shadow of me

Sweet sixteen
In a world of color
You brought me life
I brought you cover
Seventeen
You were no lover
And then you were
And then another
Back and forth
And up and down
Through love and lust
We come around
Eighteen
Boy, I thought I'd died
To everyone
I lost my mind
Nineteen
Hundred Eighty Nine
I love you too
You're so unkind
Back and forth
And up and down
Through love and lust
We come around
The stars in your eyes
Were the stars on my arms
The stars on your back
Knife in my back

In search of love, I show my face
But no one wants to see it
I draw my breath and sing along
But no one wants to hear it
I'm treading water
In an ocean of you
Filled with doubts
That I'm trying to undo
I feel it's time to make this clear
Fuck, you all know why I'm here
The broken hearts were never fun
And every time I found the one
I'm treading water
In an ocean of you
Filled with doubts
That I'm trying to undo
I circle back and ride it out
And once again fill up with doubt
I get on track and live without
Your heart of love keeps calling out
I'm not looking for a friend
Just to mask this pain again
The last one took too much of me
I can't escape his gravity

My Best

I'm a little past my prime this time
So it's funny to see you coming around again
What more do you want from me?
What more do I have to give?
I'm a little short on rhymes this time
I'm never gonna be like I could've been
What more do you want from me?
Now that I'm all out of life to live
I'd speak it like Marilyn Monroe
I was young and in love
Oh, what did I know?
If you can't treat me right
Just like all the rest
Why would I want you
When I'm at my best?
