Woke up from anxiety Got feelings of dread inside of me It's the last day of the weekend Just tired of feeling weakened So today I'll withdraw From more than just alcohol Take stock in all my flaws And fabricate how I'm gonna change them all Eternal hours tick right by me In a house where I've been scared to let home find me At the crossroads of hope and boredom The pills pave a way for me to enjoy them So today I'll withdraw From more than just alcohol Take stock in all my flaws And fabricate how I'm gonna change them all... ...when I won't

Here's an ode To a decade almost done Not much to show Except how I've been living on the run But the new seasons are here again You're so last year and I'm free again The new seasons are here again You're so last year and I'm free again So here's an ode To the fact we're finally done Who knew the songs I wrote about you Would one day be about me too From left behind To leaving behind Either way the fault was mine And I'll pick sleeping alone while my dreams run free Trying to escape mediocrity Because setbacks are all that's left in you and me Yeah, setbacks are all that's left in you and me So here's an ode to a decade almost done Microdosed my way through what felt like winter When it was barely even fall Realized I'd only halfway enjoyed my summer Because in spring we'd hit a wall But the new seasons are here again You're so last year and I'm free again The new seasons are here again You're so last year and I'm free again So here's an ode To a decade almost done Not much to show Except how I've been living on the run But the new seasons are here again You're so last year and I'm free again The new seasons are here again You're so last year and I'm free again So here's an ode To the fact we're finally done

Broken keychain from an anxious touch Never thought our hearts would ever weigh this much And I know you've written in your journal And it includes my name Cause the past few days have not been normal And what I've said has caused you pain Just know the empty space you leave behind It was no fault of yours but rather mine For all the things I didn't say Cause I couldn't face it was best to walk away I miss the days where everything was play And nothing we would say would push the other one away But now the things we tell Are so mundane And tears more often well From the things we say that cause each other pain Just know the empty space you leave behind It was no fault of yours but rather mine For all the things I didn't say Cause I couldn't face it was best to walk away

I was your one and only For a while I was your one and lonely For a while A year ago so certain A year later gone My eyes stuck on the pavement On this drive to move one I drove up and down the state To fix what became a mistake Our love became hazy As we drove ourselves crazy Stuck in such a sad state We paved the way for heartache I was breaking down at the intersection But kept driving anyway Just like every morning when I would leave with nothing to say Except goodbye And goodbye sounded okay Except goodbye Accept goodbye
