lyrics

staring at my phone
waiting for you to text
the trouble is my lover,
i don't think we've met
i think i need to spend
a little time on my brain
it's odd we 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 be 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
and all i've got's burned 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 be 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
I thought I would be better, equipped by 24

my room is probably cold
i've been gone longer than i know
and i'm trying to be 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
