Frank Turner- genius.

check that I've got all my things before I leave the house,
Because when I'm gone I'm never coming back.
I'm not being melodramatic, it's just I neither have your number or a key.
An evening spent pretending that we're just becoming friends,
Or this goes any further than going back;
I'm not being pessimistic, it's just you and I were never meant to be.

It isn't love, but every time I kind of wish it was.

I've picked up this silly habit in the last few years of going out
In the evening with my friends into the town,
Of packing a spare T-shirt in my bag in case I do not make it home.
It's pathetic and I know it, but the truth is there've been mornings
I've proved prudent taking toothpaste to the pub.
But that's precious little comfort against the knowledge of the person I've become.

It isn't love, but every time I kind of wish it was,
And I can see that in your eyes you wish it was,
But every time I leave you just because
It isn't love.


not my lyrics, y'all.

denial

You can say you don't have people you could go with
You can say you don't have girls to go see shows with
So you sit at home on your ass all day
Waiting for someone to come your way
And change your world....

And I can't deny I'd like to be that girl
And I can't deny I'd like to fill your world
But you're over there and I'm over here
And what a difference a couple of years can make...

I can't deny I thought I needed you
I can't deny I believed you
And I can't deny I like to hear
What fills your head at night....

Somewhere out there there's a girl for you
The kind of girl who'll wash away your blues
The kind of girl with scruffy hair and flannel shirts
Who'll let you hug her while she works...

And I can't deny that I am not that girl.
And I can't deny I'll never fill your world.
When I'm over there and you are too
You'll have found the girl who loves you
And I'll be happy you've found happiness.

And I can't deny I thought I needed you.
And I can't deny I believed you
I can't deny I love to hear
What fills your head at night....

Hm...

I just want you to succeed.
I just want you to believe.
I want you to get what you want and be kind to me
Even if I'm not what you want.

I just want you to be happy.
I just want you to be carefree.
I want to hear you laugh at night.
Not cry.

I want you to know that I like you.
I don't care if it's not mutual.
I think I just had to get it off my chest
So I can go back to feeling my best...
I don't think I can fill her shoes.
They're awfully big shoes to fill.
She was pint sized but she left a footprint
In your heart.
I guess I'll be happy enough if you even
Remember me when I'm eighteen years old
And still all alone in the world

This is a public service announcement

You know that feeling when you think you're all alone in the world
Because the one person you invested so much time and trust in
Discards you and leaves you regretting all the things you did wrong?
You can't explain to anybody how you feel because it's so utterly personal
You can't talk to them about it because you get irrational
So here's some advice
Just let go of it all.
Just let go and forgive and forget.

You know the first time you talk after everything fell apart?
You know how tentative and sad it all feels?
Because you remember everything you'd done before
And all this "it's not you, it's me" business seems old and tired.
Because you know the wreckage could have been salvaged
If you had just thought twice before giving into temptation.
So here's some advice.
Just let go of it all.
Just let go and forgive and forget.

Your feelings will overflow again.
Just let go, and forgive, and forget.
