lyrics and Samples

what was i just thinking about

i've been taping my split ends

cause they were tying me down

all my time spent messing around

mama says i gotta get myself clean

i brushed my bed and i made my teeth

oh it's not hard to understand

that i got yeah i got yeah i got got got

i - i - i got marbles rolling around

my mi - i - ind's been twisted inside and out

i'm losing my im losing my (x2)

i - i - i got marbles rolling around

take a dip and dive in deep

like a goldfish in a bowl

I was sitting on my own at the Playhouse bar
pinching quarters cuz i can’t afford the caviar
then my fingers brushed the rim of a frosted drink
a man sat at my side, offered it with a wink

dirty blonde hair and a snake tattoo
brown leather jacket with some knockoff shoes
said his name was Noah Blake and i’m so ashamed i
should’ve known to hit the breaks

he gave me sweet talk and ran off
stole my keys at 3:00
only got a cigarette and my name
and there’s only him to blame

Mai Tais and Noah Blake taught me
You cant trust nobody these days
Mai Tais and Noah Blake taught me
You cant trust nobody these days

your words are stuck

under my feet

as i dance on your grave

i once kept neat

Throwing back my hair

And screaming at the moon

now independence day’s

in the middle of june

Was I naive to think you’d disappear

With all of my scars and all of my fears

I can’t believe it’s been a year

thank you for saying goodbye

thank you for saying goodbye

goodbye

I am his 

before I am mine 

I sing my song 

but he is the words 

I pray to god

at his shrine 

and I dance 

to his scratched records 

The girl I was is gone 

she became 

the woman you made me 

now my soul is lost 

inside your 

tempest seas

now i gotta ask  x3

what kind of woman should I be today?  x2

who would you like me to be today?

Chez Vermouth

where freedom lies

chez vermouth

is right behind my eyes

Chez Vermouth is a place

nobody else can trace

chez vermouth chez vermouth chez vermouth

Sweat is fogging up the windows

oh man the music’s so appealing

oh please lead me to a fate where I can leave it all to chance

I wanna sweat and fog up all the windows

He’ll grab me by the waist

whisk me off to a much better place

grabbing two flutes yes cheers to me

I don’t got no money don’t need none too

cuz money buys nothing at Chez Vermouth

oh what heaven chez vermouth

in the passenger's seat

tell me how you'd like to proceed

a lesson in my mentality

i tied my eggs and i fried my shoes

why you looking at me like that? is it

cause i got yeah i got yeah i got got got

I paint eggshells on my wall

I got locked up in a batting cage

I always get what I want

And right now that’s for you to go away

What the hell’s your problem?

What do you want?

Your eyes all bulging

Your jaw’s unlocked

I don’t care if you like it

I don’t care at all

I don’t care

i was sitting at the blackbird eating all alone
people watching, gettin' breakfast while the mornings slow
from behind me someone asked “have i seen you around”
“likely not i rarely spend time in downtown”

Dirty blonde hair and a fake Rolex
Said he lived across the way in a new duplex
I could tell that noah blake was my next mistake
Mama told me not stay

All day long our drinks were filled
Went to take a call and left me the bill
Only got a fake number and my name
And there’s only him to blame

Mai Tais and Noah Blake taught me
You cant trust nobody these days
Mai Tais and Noah Blake taught me

You cant trust nobody these days  

I might feel bad

For what I did in shock 

but for a moment i laughed

when your heart stopped

should i survive

longer than you

maybe i’ll tell the stars about

everything you put me through

was I naive to think you’d disappear

With all of your scars and all of my fears

i can’t believe it’s been a year

thank you for saying goodbye

thank you for saying goodbye

thank you for saying goodbye

thank you for saying goodbye

i gotta say goodbye

i gotta say goodbye

goodbye

you are the chapter 

i don't read aloud 

you were the dust 

gathered on my joy 

you were the voice 

leading the angry crowd

and you are the man

who made my heart rust

now I breathe

just stand and breathe

because i found the strength and chose to leave 

breathe, breathe 

now all i gotta ask it 

what kind of woman do I want to be today?
