strangers
verse 1:
now we’re strangers,
isn’t it strange
how things can change
when you don’t stay the same?
no, you don’t stay the same.
i can’t be placed—
a path that can’t be traced.
a memory erased so
you live in the moment
you live in the moment.
pre-chorus:
you keep your head underwater
so you can’t hear
you pluck the flowers in the pavement
so they never touch your heels
chorus 1:
how does it feel to live in a world
with no one but yourself?
how does it feel to live in a world
where you don’t care about anyone else?
verse 2:
let’s play pretend,
we can see how it turns out in the end.
i’ll be your dread
but you won’t even notice
you won’t even notice.
the things you fear
are the things that you hold dear.
a lost sense of self so
you look for it in someone else.
pre-chorus
chorus 2:
how does it feel to live in a world
with no one but yourself?
how does it feel to live in a world
where you don’t care about anyone?
how does it feel to be alone?
does it feel like home?
how does it feel to live in a world
that no one will ever know
bridge:
i’ll always see the worst in you
even when you convince me not to
i’ll always see the worst in you
i’ll always see the worst in you
even when you convince me not to
i’ll always see the worst in you
chorus 3:
how does it feel to live in a world
with no one but yourself?
how does it feel to live in a world
where you don’t care?
how does it feel to live?
how does it feel to live?
how does it feel to live in your own little world?
end:
you don’t care, no you don’t care.
you don’t care, no you never cared.

know
chorus 1:
tell me how you feel,
and i’ll change to fit it.
you’ll never know me,
‘cus you don’t care to see it.
tell me how you feel,
and i’ll change.
mold myself around you so i don’t know who i am
when you’re gone
verse 1:
overthink it when you don’t text back
spending hours thinking how to react
say communication isn’t your thing,
i’ll agree
just to make everything so easy
chorus 1
verse 2:
you really know me
but you don’t really know me
‘cus you know who i want you to know
you really know me
but you don’t really know me
‘cus you know who i want you to know
chorus 2:
tell me how you feel,
and i’ll change to fit it
you’ll never know me
‘cus you just wouldn’t get it
tell me how you feel,
and i’ll change.
mold myself around you
mold myself around you
mold myself around you
so i don’t know who i am
chorus 3:
tell me how you feel,
and i’ll change to fit it.
you’ll never know me
‘cus you just don’t wanna see it
tell me how you feel,
and i’ll change.
mold myself around you
so i don’t know who i am
when you’re gone
when you’re gone

you
verse 1:
call me up
when i’ve had enough,
just to get me going again.
it’s your game,
don’t know why i play,
but it’s better than
never talking to you again.
pre-chorus:
if you told me back then
we wouldn’t even be friends
in the end
chorus 1:
i’d ask you why you lied
i’d ask you why you lied
i’d ask you why you didn’t even try
verse 2:
so it’s nice to talk to me
“once in awhile”
like picking up an old habit—
put me on your profile
pre-chorus
chorus 2:
i’d ask you why you lied
i’d ask you why you lied
i’d ask you why you didn’t even try
i’d ask you why you didn’t fight
to stay with me for just another night
instead of telling me it “would happen in the next life”
verse 3:
if you told me back then
if you told me back then
that we wouldn’t even be friends
that we wouldn’t even be friends
if you told me back then
if you told me back then
that we wouldn’t even be friends
that we wouldn’t even be friends
end:
i’d still make the same mistakes
i’d still make the same mistakes

better
verse 1:
haven’t been the same
since you left last week.
sleeping through the day
to rewrite my dreams.
it’s not really me,
and it’s not really you.
but it’s still everything i would expect from you.
pre-chorus:
but it’s not what it seems,
shadows of your memory
still bring out the worst in me
chorus:
how long ‘til it gets better?
how long ‘til it gets better?
don’t wanna wait for forever,
i’m sick of being bitter.
how long ‘til it gets better?
how long ‘til it gets better?
don’t wanna speak in the dead air,
i know i’ll find you there.
verse 2:
taking back what’s mine
i know that wasn’t clearly defined
no one knows when they’ve crossed the line
taking back what’s mine
i know that wasn’t clearly defined
no one knows when they’ve crossed the line
but it’s not real, i know how i feel
and you’re not even real.
pre-chorus
chorus
bridge:
tell me what to say,
tell me what to do.
i’d hate to ruin your image,
hate to ruin your image.
tell me what to say,
tell me what to do
i’d hate to ruin your image
hate to ruin your image
chorus 2:
how long ‘til it gets better?
how long ‘til it gets better?
your reflection in my mirror
couldn’t make it clearer
chorus 3:
how long ‘til it gets better?
how long ‘til it gets better?
don’t wanna wait for forever,
i’m sick of being bitter.
how long ‘til it gets better?
how long ‘til it gets better?
don’t wanna speak in the dead air,
i’ll always find you there.
how long ‘til it gets better?

than
verse 1:
made the drive out
for you to chew and spit me out
not wanting to give up
and then giving up
you never knew what you wanted
never knew who you wanted
chorus:
i still remember the mailing address
of your first apartment in the city
how could you forget me?
or am i just less than?
am i just less than?
if you’re living your dream
where does that leave me?
verse 2:
i’ll make the drive home
and try to forget everything you just said
convince myself you’re the best for me
tell my friends not to worry
we’re a match made for heaven, baby
chorus
bridge:
i’ll call every day
just respond when you want
you know i’m really only here
when you need to get off
of the planet that you’re on
go ahead write me a song you don’t mean
you don’t mean
that you don’t really mean
chorus 2:
you still live at the mailing address
of my apartment in the city
and yet you forget me
guess i’m just less than
guess i’m just less than
if you’re living your dream
then what’s left for me?

verse 1:
going back was great
until i had to live this life again
now i’m stuck in my head
600 miles under it
chorus 1:
all the things we’ve been through
all the times i almost lost you
all the times you almost lost me
the things you can and can’t see
verse 2:
like a phantom of a memory
it’ll never be lost on me
take a drive to figure it out
i’ll follow you around town
sit in silence at the door
for when you come around
chorus 1:
all the things we’ve been through
all the times i almost lost you
all the times you almost lost me
the things you can and can’t see
chorus 2:
who would i be, then?
if things were different
always wish for a different life
but know i’d miss this one if i tried
bridge:
i’m nothing without who you say i am
who am i?

it hardly matters to you
why try in a game you plan to lose?

god you know i hate when you do that
don’t ask for much,
you can’t even do that
