Summertime Sadness

Some nights, I stay up cashing in my bad luck ; some nights, I call it a draw Some nights, I wish that my lips could build a castle Some nights, I wish they'd just fall off But I still wake up, I still see your ghost Oh Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for What do I stand for? What do I stand for? Most nights, I don't know anymore ... This is it, boys, this is war - what are we waiting for? Why don't we break the rules already? I was never one to believe the hype - save that for the black and white I try twice as hard and I'm half as liked, but here they come again to jack my style That's alright (that's alright). I found a martyr in my bed tonight. Stops my bones from wondering just who I , who I, who I a-a-a-am, oh who am I , m-mm, m-mm. Well, some nights I wish that this all would end 'Cause I could use some friends for a change And some nights I'm scared you'll forget me again Some nights I always win (I alway...

Took a deep breath in the mirror He didn't like it when I wore high heels But I do Turn the lock and put my headphones on He always said he didn't get this song But I do, I do Walked in expecting you'd be late But you got here early and you stand and wave I walk to you You pull my chair out and help me in And you don't know how nice that is But I do And you throw your head back laughing Like a little kid I think it's strange that you think I’m funny cause He never did I've been spending the last 8 months Thinking all love ever does Is break and burn and end But on a Wednesday in a cafe I watched it begin again You said you never met one girl who Had as many James Taylor records as you But I do We tell stories and you don't know why I'm coming off a little shy But I do And we walked down the block, to my car And I almost brought him up But you start to talk about the movies That your family watches every single Christmas And I want to talk about that A...

I wanna be drunk when I wake up On the right side of the wrong bed And never an excuse I made up Tell you the truth I what didn’t kill me It never made me stronger at all Love will scar your make up Lips sticks to me, so now I maybe lean back there I’m sat here wishing I was sober I know I’ll never hold you like I used to But a house gets cold when you cut the heating Without you to hold I’ll be freezing Can’t rely on my heart to beat in ‘Cos you take parts of it every evening Take words out of my mouth just from breathing Replace with phrases like ‘when you leaving me?’ Should I? Should I? Maybe I’ll get drunk again I’ll be drunk again, I’ll be drunk again To feel a little love I wanna hold your heart in both hands Not watch it fizzle at the bottom of a Coke can And I got no plans for the weekend, so should we speak then?
