I'm so familiar with the floor I couldn't take it anymore Under your bed you left it swept Just like the secrets you should have kept To yourself, as you toss and turn to the thought of me Thinking we should have gone out very differently But I made it through the winter alone After all of this I thought you'd like to know You say you're a lesson learned But I say more trouble than you're worth You talk your mouth off every time You see me, just go and hide "New Year, Old Me" And you leave me begging for more But I swear I won't weigh you down anymore I can't speak, I'm a nervous wreck Try to move on, you're breathing down my neck Looking for answers I just don't have Looking for an escape but I really can’t But I made it through, all of this alone That's all that counts and I thought that you should know That I made it through the winter alone I haven't changed a bit and you still feel like home You say you're a lesson learned But I say more trouble than you're worth You talk your mouth off every time You see me, just go and hide "New Year, Old Me" And you left me begging for more But I swear I won't weigh you down anymore New year, old me I'm still the person I've always been New year, old me The same person, you've always seen New year, old me Wide awake while you fall asleep New year, old me You'll never know what you meant to me

Leave your sour taste on my tongue Remind me I'm never gonna be good enough But you still walk between the lines Cross your Ts and dot your Is Pretend your dreams weren't make believe But in your plan there was never room for me So why am I counting down the days Until I see you, the one who's played me But I can't forget your face I'll pick up my broken pieces And keep the distance between us It's not that I don’t miss you, But I'm better off without you So you clip my wings and keep me grounded With all the mistakes you're still proud of It's not that I don't miss you It's just that I don't need you anymore Fighting myself, I can't stand this life I don’t need your love and we all know why I might not make it through the night Yet I'm always the one who’s left behind This anger inside that is building up Thoughts of you and they wont stop The pain you brought here is killing me Find the cure, I need a remedy I'll pick up my broken pieces And keep the distance between us It's not that I don’t miss you, But I'm better off without you So you clip my wings and keep me grounded With all the mistakes you're still proud of It's not that I don't miss you It's just that I don't need you anymore Don't need you I don't need you Don't need you I don't need you It's not that I don't miss you It's just that I don't need you anymore I'll pick up my broken pieces And keep the distance between us It's not that I don’t miss you, But I'm better off without you So you clip my wings and keep me grounded With all the mistakes you're still proud of It's not that I still miss you I just miss who I was When I was with you

As I cross the border, I know I won’t be back here to hold you anymore It’s not that important, You swore that you’d make do without me I’m falling forward, But I’ll still try to put my best foot behind me I’ll keep you in order, But all you ever did was corrupt me All you ever did, Was waste my time Now I’m falling, I’m falling back in line For just a little piece of your peace of mind I’m feeling used up and washed out On the wrong side of these state lines Please just leave me by the side of this road So far from home and, all I know I can’t keep track of my skeletons, They’re coming back to haunt me You still, feel so close I’m barely breathing but I know I’m better off alone It's 1 am and I'm missing you I shouldn't be but the mind can't control the heart We should have known this from the start All you ever did, Was waste my time Now I’m falling, I’m falling back in line For just a little piece of your peace of mind I’m feeling used up and washed out On the wrong side of these state lines You're a waste of my time

Reshape 03:27
Take aim and reload Missed the target again Talk back to the voices Inside of my head They all say the same That I'm better of dead Try to repair But I fall off the edge Took a shot in the dark Didn't get very far But I knew I could never rely on you It's so hard to reshape And find space to grow When everything changes And you're all on your own Worked so hard, so far From all that you know But everything changed And you've left us alone I've been hearing your name All over town Seeing it in bright lights Is life better now? Been showing you around I guess that you found out You can be whoever you wanna be Did it all without me Left your soul out at sea I guess I'll see you around It's so hard to reshape And find space to grow When everything changes And you're all on your own Worked so hard so far from all that you know But everything changed And you've left us alone It's so hard to reshape And find space to grow (Everything changes, you've left us alone) When everything changes And you're all on your own (Everything changes, you've left us alone) Worked so hard so far From all that you know (Everything changes, you've left us alone) But everything changed And you've left us alone (Everything changes, you've left us alone)

Stand Tall 04:11
I've been wasting away the days But it's getting harder without you here I reserved your side of the bed But I still try to steer clear cause I've been dealing with long nights (Dealing with your restlessness) I'm sleeping on my own (Passing out on old air mattresses) And it's been one hell of a year But all I really know is It's been hard without you here There's demons on my shoulders Regardless of what they may be I'll be here to see it through Cause I'm not going anywhere My clothes have been worse for wear Dig my feet out of the ground Get back on the move again Stand tall, and keep my head held high There's more to life than standing by And it's not going anywhere so get back up But I do like I always do Deserve better, expect less than I'll ever get from you I'm growing older Things are changing I'm getting better But it's not the same I keep my heart stitched Tightly to my sleeve I keep my eyes aimed Right between my feet I'm growing older Things are changing I'm getting better But it's not the same
