You never told your family
But mine were there to watch me bleed
Paper cuts and poetry
Pull the rug from underneath
Then blame it on astrology
"The stars were out of line you see
it's not my fault you fell for me"
Lay it out in lowercase
You couldn't say it to my face
Then join the list of things i hate
That merely overcompensate
For things i haven't figured out
Like how to make somebody proud
And why i'm never loved out loud
Why i'm never loved out loud
Take back all your compliments
Your kindness has a consequence
Don't think i live by common sense
These silent nights have violent ends
Then come back when i'm on the mend
You'll be alright and i'll pretend
and then i'll fall in love again
Then i'll fall in love again
And it's hard to breathe
And i hardly sleep
And my heart fell off my sleeve
Will you walk me home?
Will you break my bones?
Will i let you leave?
Sing a song and cue the rain
I'll melt if you just say my name
A puddle by the window pane
Dissolving in your last refrain
A victim of the waiting game
I feel so old and you're to blame
What a pity what a shame
Your silence blew the candles out
A smokey room a haunted house
Nothing left to cry about
Only room for dying now
Still things i haven't figured out
Like how to make somebody proud
And why i'm never loved out loud
Why i'm never loved out loud
