Trading For A Traitor

Verse 1:
It's all too much, the line between what's right and wrong has been my crutch
For 4 years now I've been out of touch with how I feel
Getting out of my mind but I still try to find a birds-eye-view where I can meet you halfway down the block
I swear my hearts a rock and it's weighing me down
Chorus:
How bad could get it get when it's awful?
How many times do I have to lie to myself?
Conclusions, expressions, I've lost them all for this
I'm trading for a traitor again
Verse 2:
Nothing seems real when all I know is all I think
Oh I'm the worst criminal with the best intentions
My heart is true but you're so false
It hurts me to move, my legs tangled up to match my tongue and
It hurts me to move
so I am going to find out on my own
Chorus:
How bad could get it get when it's awful?
How many times do I have to lie to myself?
Conclusions, expressions, I've lost them all for this
I'm trading for a traitor again
Bridge:
I'm trading for a traitor again
I'm trading for a traitor again
and it hurts me to move
Chorus:
How bad could get it get when it's awful?
How many times do I have to lie to myself?
Conclusions, expressions, I've lost them all for this
I'm trading for a traitor again

Verse 1:
An open book is what you classified me as I walked out the door
You know me all too well, you're the opposite of hesitant I swear
You knew this was over but you can't quite get over it
Chorus:
Don't take this the wrong way
Don't plan on sticking around for you
I'm playing your heart strings after all the games you put me through
I'm not the one, you're not in love
These chemicals like poison in our heads
and you can't quite get over it
Verse 2:
Another drink is what you chose to remedy your shallow skin
With every decision framed in extradition
You have owned mistakes and dwell in this bed you've made
you knew this was over but you cannot regret you better forget me babe
Chorus:
Don't take this the wrong way
Don't plan on sticking around for you
I'm playing your heart strings after all the games you put me through
I'm not the one, you're not in love
These chemicals like poison in our heads
and you can't quite get over it
Bridge:
When the morning comes, it's just another one
Waking up in bed and you're all alone
Why can't you understand that? I am just another man with hands you can't trust with much
Chorus:
Don't take this the wrong way
Don't plan on sticking around for you
Don't take this the wrong way
Don't plan on sticking around for you
I'm playing your heart strings after all the shit you put me through
I'm not the one, you're not in love
These chemicals like poison in our heads
and you can't quite get over it

Verse 1:
I once stood in the shadow of a man who towered over everything you know
So tall but could not grasp the truth
His head somewhere in the clouds
His eyes so set on what hasn't happened yet
Verse 2:
Be strong but you can't bend the truth
My friend and my own enemy inside of my head almost all the time
and I can't recall when I lost control
My mind so set on the past I can't forget
Chorus:
I know I know I've made mistakes
I know I know that time will break me down to my bones
but it won't take my soul away
I know I know that times get hard, defined our lives by whether or not we're down to our bones but will it take my soul away?
Verse 3:
You can hold on but you can't away the parts of the day that don't satisfy
The secrets you kept, the words you regret, the hurt you hold inside
and it's hard to live in the fading light of the sun as it sets on the days
you let pass by
Chorus:
I know I know I've made mistakes
I know I know that time will break me down to my bones
but it won't take my soul away
I know I know that times get hard, defined our lives by whether or not we're down to our bones but will it take my soul away?
Bridge:
(Oh) you're never going to get way
(Oh) get away from yourself
(Oh) I better start listening to the way I feel
(Oh) because it never gets easier
(Oh) and time will not wait
(Oh) today is the day to make a change
in who we are and I'm starting with myself

No Better

Verse 1:
Misunderstood words on the side of the room
Speak out your mind they say
but my lips are sealed shut with the taste of regret
I don't want to speak, I wish to relate
Verse 2:
with you in this room and those I don't know
people I might never meet
I'll attempt to convey my thoughts in a way
that's more honest than hearing me speak
Chorus:
I don't want to wait to be myself today
I'm setting everything aside
I am no better than the rest of you
we all make mistakes and learn how to love in that way
Verse 3:
Counting down days until these moments arrive
Took for granted the ones we live in
but there's so much to gain from our yesterdays
that I don't want to speak, I wish to relate
Chorus:
I don't want to wait to be myself today
I'm setting everything aside
I am no better than the rest of you
we all make mistakes and learn how to love in that way
you can't tell me all that we know stays the same (stay the same)
Chorus
I don't want to wait to be myself today
I'm setting everything aside
I don't want to wait to be myself today
I'm setting everything aside
I don't want to wait to be myself today
I'm setting everything aside
I am no better than the rest of you
