lyrics

staring at my phone waiting for you to text
trouble is my lover that i don't think we've met
think i need to spend a little time on my brain
how odd to feel alone surrounded by people who feel the same

my room is probably cold
i've been gone longer than i know
and i'm trying to better 'cause i'd like to be better than this
and i'm trying to be better 'cause i'd like to be someone you'd miss

i'm much too much of a mess to put you at ease
i'd like to feel again but i'm afraid of things like these
all i've got's burnt fingers and a crick in my back
i'm hoping you'll forget about the qualities i lack

my room is probably cold
i've been gone longer than i know
and i'm trying to better 'cause i'd like to be better than this
and i'm trying to be better 'cause i'd like to be someone you'd miss

almost missed my train, won't you hold the door
would you miss my name, if i left the floor
thought i would be better than this, than before
thought i would be better equipped, by twenty four

my room is probably cold
i've been gone longer than i know
and i'm trying to better 'cause i'd like to be better than this
and i'm trying to be better 'cause i'd like to be someone
i'm trying to be better 'cause i'd like to be someone
i'm trying to be better 'cause i'd like to be someone
you'd miss
