I like being the girl running on empty
I like looking online at things I'll never buy
I like touring open houses, no plan to go through
Oh I like having options, no pressure to commit to
I like leaving, but I hate being left
So I fine tune new ways to torture myself
No easier to be brand new and vain
Than for anyone to see how you hold all your pain
But I don’t know what the point is anymore
Oh I, what am I avoiding anymore
I don’t know what the point is anymore
I -
A million tabs open, I’ll never revisit
But I like getting angry when you don’t ask, "how is it?"
I like being alone, but never being lonely
So I stay up later than all of my family
I’ll spend my whole life searching for a song
Mine away the hours when it’s been written all along
I’ll curse at the sky cause I’m the cosmic punchline
If I’ll never have the answers, then why do I try?
Cause I don’t know what the point is anymore
Oh I, what am I avoiding anymore
I don’t know what the point is anymore
I -
I wanna go to heaven, but I’m never on time
Hope that doesn’t matter, Cause I love Jesus Christ
I like being hopeful, but hate being stupid
So when I fall in love, I tell myself it’s an illusion

The Strong One (demo)

You haven't seemed like yourself
Are you hiding? Are you hoping
Someone will find you?
I know you talk yourself into
Thinking everybody’s out to get you
But it just isn’t true, So
Will you let me
Look you in the eye?
I’m just here to hear you out
No other intentions
Beside being
A shoulder you can rest on
And lay your heavy aside
Cause you don’t have to be
The strong one this time
You don't have to bury
All the heartache, All the mistakes
Don’t put it off until the day after
The day after tomorrow
Might look brand new
Another sunrise waiting for you
I’m telling you the truth, So
Will you let me
Look you in the eye?
I’m just here to hear you out
No other intentions
Beside being
A shoulder you can rest on
And lay your heavy aside
Cause you don’t have to be
The strong one this time
Letting yourself be seen
Doesn’t make you weak
Most of us could stand to learn
Some lessons in transparency
For the worst days
Forget highlights of the week
Hold an open conversation
Create the space to
Breathe
