Hey, we're talking for the first time
Hey, you looked blue on the outside
Hey, all the parts of my mind are spiraling by
Hey, my smile's on these pages
Hey, he did great on the stage
& hey, I wish I had you during all my phases
I want to know what you see in me
Because I'll tear myself apart for a chance to be
You sent me all these paper flowers
In the hopes that it'd make me open up
But I'm scared of what you'd think about me
Hold me close if I end up getting papercuts
I'm sinking in these paper flowers
Screaming out from the grave I know I've dug
& you are the only one who answers
Hold me close if I end up getting papercuts
Hey, the world left us shut out
Hey, I liked your old haircut
But hey, I love it when you do what makes you happy
Hey, it's the end of the show
& hey, you know the things I don't know
Hey, let's remember that moment last November
You live your life with a spin & smile
I'll love my own if we're together for a while
Oh, could this be
A chance to know what you think of me

Trying to be Happy

I haven't thought for the last couple days now
I'm going through the motions, but I'm running out of plays now
Brain all scrambled, I just copy what you like
But everything just makes you angry
I get so lonely when you're not on my mind
But whenever we talk, it's like I'm dead inside
I know I said I'd love you 'til the end of time
But I'm starting to think all my problems start & end with you
I'm trying to be happy
But you always get stuck in the way
I've been thinking for the last couple weeks now
It's boiling outside & I'm running out of steam now
I don't know how much longer I can keep this up
& every day my smile stays paper thin
I'm doing my best to follow your rules
But you keep getting further from who i once knew
One day you'll burn me to the ground & run away
But turn around & come back the very next day
"Totally, don't give a fuck, I'm over it, whatever"
Oh, I'm a mistake? At least i know when to shut my mouth
The damage is with you and her, I don't know about it
You're texting me all night because you've got nothing better to do
I'm trying to be happy
I always love how you bring out the best in me
I'm trying to be happy
You never let me sleep, but I don't even want to go to bed
So shut the hell up & get the fuck out of my head
Hey, it's been a while, we should talk some time
But please don't ever fucking call me again

Oh April
I hope you're happy with yourself
& the trail of bodies you've left
You only hurt me because the world hurt us
So why'd you have to bleed out on everyone else?
It wasn't my fault
It wasn't your fault
All the bridges that you burned out of spite
I wonder what you me thought about me then
I can't stop seeing you as that boy on a bike
But you drove yourself into a personal hell
It wasn't my fault
It was all your fault
Oh April
I see the worst parts of me in you
Oh April
I hope one day you'll forget me too
Oh April
I wish you learned how to be yourself
Oh April
Maybe then you'd have anyone left

Web of Stars

Yeah, i guess the party's alright
The roof's so cold but the food's still nice
I can't wait to not be invited
Going in circles by my own
Yeah, you know that I'm not bitter
Because I never speak my mind
So you won't know what to say on the day
When i break down & cry
Why can't I just speak my mind to you
I'm trapped inside a web of stars
& all of them shine away from me
You said you'd stick by me through rain and fog
But I know you secretly hate me
I'm trapped inside a web of stars
& all of them shine away from me
I scream but my voice can't travel far
I hope I spread my wings before I hit the floor
The music's still loud when we're not downstairs
Anyone but me would want to be down there
You're such a better dancer than I
"Please, can't you just give it a try?"
Everything's so bright when I look into your eyes
So I'll try and love life one more time
I'm flying through a web of stars
& all of them helped me spread my wings
I know you'll stick by me through rain and fog
Because you know what's deep within my heart
i'm flying through a web of stars
& all of them helped me spread my wings
I call out and know that you're never far
Because you know what's deep within my heart
The flowers on your head look like stars in the sky
I cry into your arms because I know I'll be fine
