(album: Distant Like You Asked - 2016)

As if I had all the answers, to fix your mistakes
I couldn't risk too much, it was all at stake
I lost trust in you, I've got a bitter taste
In my mouth all the words go south these days
You couldn't talk about your problems, and I was never there to listen
I've been here before I'll be back again and this is nothing new
It felt like days were catching up to me with all this pain and suffering
And I'm not sure I care, anymore

Build up my hope, I know you knew
I know the truth
My potential wasted slow, beat up and used
Use me some more, give me some room

I guess I'll call it a first, oh how it's mutual
And everything you know because you ask me about my days
You don't think before you speak and your interests are not for me
But I'm so alone I need to receive some attention I've been paid

You caught me at the worst spot,
In the worst space of your favorite bar
My most hated place,
Know that I was trying to relate

Build up my hope, I know you knew
I know the truth
My potential wasted slow, beat up and used
Use me some more, give me some room

Cut me down, the drugs don't do a thing
You should've lied to me
You never fucking ruined me
My head is an open wound, not your tirade

There's nothing to erase
I'm sorry about how I feel

Build up my hope, I know you knew
My potential wasted slow, beat up and used
Use me some more, give me some room

Build up my hope, I know you knew
I know the truth
My potential wasted slow, beat up and used
Give me some room and now we're through
