Lyrics

I'm so good at being lonely Heaven knows it's never boring Yeah Oh I got nobody that I call mine I'm on the right track Takin' my time Oh I feel it in my bones Yeah Yeah That's how I know I'm so good at being lonely Heaven knows it's never boring I'm so good at being lonely Heaven knows it's never boring Got nobody that I call mine I'm on the right track Takin' my time Mm Mm Got nobody that I call mine I'm on the right track Takin' my time Mm Mm Mm I'm on the right track I'm takin' my time I'm on the right track I'm takin' my time I'm on the right track I'm takin' my time I'm on the right track I'm takin' my time I'm on the right track I'm takin' my time I'm on the right track I'm takin' my time I'm on the right track I'm takin' my time I'm on the right track I'm takin' my time I feel it in my bones That's how I know I'm so good at being lonely Heaven knows it's never boring I'm so good at being lonely Heaven knows it's never boring

Lyrics

You left your mug here again By the sink, same crack in the side I rinse it, like I’m earning time Like that makes us fine You say “I’m tired” like a door I say “okay” and count the gap Between your hand and mine On the couch, on the way back We know the steps We know the script We keep it moving Never too deep But the house goes quiet When you turn away And I hate how easy It is to stay Say it plain Say my name Don’t leave me guessing In this frame Say it plain Say the thing We keep it folded Under everything Your coat hangs by the bedroom door Mine’s still on the chair from June We trade small talk over dishes Like it’s keeping watch in the room You reach for me, then stop Midair, like you heard your own doubt I know that look too well It’s the one we never talk about We know the steps We know the script We keep it moving Never too deep But the bed feels wider When you face the wall And I can hear the hard part In the shape of it all Say it plain Say my name Don’t leave me guessing In this frame Say it plain Say the thing We keep it folded Under everything I’m not asking for forever Just the truth with the lights on Tell me what you need from me Tell me what I’ve got wrong I can take the awkward I can take the ache What I can’t keep holding Is the shape of a fake Say it plain Say my name Don’t leave me guessing In this frame Say it plain Say the thing We keep it folded Under everything Half-used toothbrush Cold sink glow If we’re still here Let me know

Lyrics

I've been feeling like I'm outta my mind Losing track of my time When you kiss me and say you're mine I don't know what I would do without you But I just might have to try But I Still need you in my life So Don't you say goodbye I can't be the reason you cry Just promise me one thing tonight Don't lose your cool Even if I lose my mind over you I hope you don't lose your cool When I'm acting a fool Please don't lose your cool Even if I lose my mind over you I hope you don't lose your cool When I'm acting a fool Don't wanna be the one you always let down Know you're tired of going through hell It's the best thing for you right now And even if I miss you I can't come back Just don't let me pull you down But I Still need you in my life So Don't you say goodbye I can't be the reason you cry Just promise me one thing tonight Don't lose your cool Even if I lose my mind over you I hope you don't lose your cool When I'm acting a fool Please don't lose your cool Even if I lose my mind over you I hope you don't lose your cool When I'm acting a fool

Lyrics

Got a suitcase by the door Yeah I'ma see myself out Yeah I've never done this before Yeah But I'm not stickin' around No Now you wanna know what's wrong No Like you don't already know And I can tell it won't be long Long Before you're beggin' me not to go But you know how I get I don't lose control The clock is tickin' Baby And you movin' slow You wanna know why Wanna know what for So let me spell it out And maybe you'll know O-M-G O-M-G Can't believe you really let it get to me I just had to call it how it is How you gon' act like you don't know what you did? O-M-G O-M-G Can't believe you really let it get to me I just had to call it how it is How you gon' act like you don't know what you did? O-M-G O-M-G O-M-G O-M-G Now you're tryna turn it around Yeah But it's already too late I know you wish I was playin' around Yeah But I'm already on the way Oh And you know how I get I don't lose control The clock is tickin' Baby And you movin' slow You wanna know why Wanna know what for So let me spell it out And maybe you'll know O-M-G O-M-G Can't believe you really let it get to me I just had to call it how it is How you gon' act like you don't know what you did? O-M-G O-M-G Can't believe you really let it get to me I just had to call it how it is How you gon' act like you don't know what you did?

Lyrics

Heavenly bodies My little moon and my stars All my love My whole heart You've known from the start Oh baby You've been my best friend In this whole world In this whole world Yeah These are our secrets These are our secrets These are our secrets Our secret's out now Our secret's out now Our secret's out now Our secret's out now Our secret's out now Our secret's out now Our secret's out now Our secret's out now Our secret's out now Our secret's out now Our secret's out now Our secret's out now Our secret's out now Our secret's out now Our secret's out now Our secret's out now Our secret's out now Our secret's out now Our secret's out now Our secret's out now Our secret's out now Our secret's out now Our secret's out now Our secret's out now Our secret's out now Our secret's out now Our secret's out now Our secret's out now Our secret's out now Our secret's out now Our secret's out now Our secret's out now

Lyrics

Your key on the bowl. My shoes by the door. We say "I'm fine" too fast. Then look at the floor. You fold your shirt slow. I rinse out the pan. We both keep busy. Like that makes us chance. You kiss my cheek like an apology. I laugh it off because that's easier. The room gets small when the truth gets near. We both know why we still live here. Say what it is (say what it is) Don't do that thing where we drift and miss Say what it is (say what it is) I know the shape of your silence, baby Say what it is (say what it is) I don't need sweet I need honest You text "on my way" from the end of the block. Then stay in your car with the engine off. I keep one plate warm. You keep your phone facedown. We act like that means we won't break down. You ask how my day was. I give you the light. You read what I leave out every single night. I know that look before you go away. You know my pause means more than I say. The air between us has a name now. We keep stepping around it like it might bow. Say what it is (say what it is) Don't do that thing where we drift and miss Say what it is (say what it is) I know the shape of your silence, baby Say what it is (say what it is) I don't need sweet I need honest Maybe we got tired in the middle of forever. Maybe we learned how to stay and stay away better. You don't have to perform being here with me. Just tell me the part you keep under your teeth. Say what it is (say what it is) Don't do that thing where we drift and miss Say what it is (say what it is) I know the shape of your silence, baby Say what it is (say what it is) I don't need sweet I need honest

Lyrics

You left your mug by the sink I rinsed it like I owned the place We moved around each other Like two good habits with bad grace Your phone face down on the table Mine on silent, yours the same We know each other’s timings Still we dodge the name And it’s not that we’re broken It’s just what we don’t say Sits heavy in the doorway Every time I ask if you’re okay Say it plain, say it plain Don’t keep it in your throat Say it plain, say it plain I can take the weight you hold We keep the light on We keep the line clear Say it plain, say it plain Before it disappears You kiss my cheek in passing Like a promise you forgot I ask about your brother You change the subject like a knot We laugh at old apartment stories The ones that still burn slow Then you look at me too long And let your coffee go cold I know the shape of your silence I know mine too well We call it being tired When we mean we don’t know how to tell Say it plain, say it plain Don’t keep it in your throat Say it plain, say it plain I can take the weight you hold We keep the light on We keep the line clear Say it plain, say it plain Before it disappears I’m not asking for a rescue I’m not asking for a vow Just don’t make a home of distance If you want me here and now I’ve got my own old damage I’ve got my own weak spots But I’d rather hear the ugly thing Than love you for the part I thought Say it plain, say it plain Don’t keep it in your throat Say it plain, say it plain I can take the weight you hold We keep the light on We keep the line clear Say it plain, say it plain Before it disappears Say it plain If you want me, say it plain Say it plain Before it disappears
