If only I had the heart
KEI♱H
wasn’t ready for love
couldn’t stand myself
and i took it out on you
always messing up
i never follow through
oh if i could just open up
if only i had the heart
the worst part is
you think i don’t like you back
when i think about you all the time
but it’s too late
now we’re just friends
and you’re in love with him
i’m the one who got left
who’s thinkin' about what we could've been
tired bleary-eyed
half-watching tv in the dark
i was scared i was lost
and you kept waiting
oh if i could just open up
if only i had the heart
if only i had the heart to
i’d let you know
the worst part is
you think i don't like you back
when i think about you all the time
but now it's too late
'cause now we're just friends
and now you're in love with him
now i'm just the one who got left
who's thinkin'
if only you saw it from my point of view
'cause if i say yes
i could lose my best friend
but if i say no
you could still be my fantasy
but i said nothing
now i lost my best friend
and being with you
will forever just be a fantasy
it's all my fault
because i really do like you back
i really do care
but now it's too late
'cause now we're just friends
and now you're in love with him
now i'm just the one who got left
who's thinkin' about what we could've been
what we could've been

PRIVATE
KEI♱H
stop talking like that
you're talking so much
don't think you can back it up
so come here
let's fight
let's go outside
go somewhere more private
i wanna tell you how i feel
i'm really sick of playing these games
i don't think you know how to be real
i could've stopped you dead
told you right then and there
i'm really sick of playing these games
i don't think you know how to be real
with me.
your words hurt so much
i wanna shut up
i can't
your words hurt so much
i can't get enough
i don't wanna fight
not tonight
let's go outside
go somewhere more private
i wanna tell you how i feel
i'm really sick of playing these games
i don't think you know how to be real
i don't think you know how to be real.

Don't belong
KEI♱H
it was a busy friday night
slept past my stop
walked the last four blocks
boot scuffed the paint off every curb
my head’s a trainwreck
but that’s what you like
the kind of brain
that ruins a weekend and calls it romance
but i still check my phone
'cause i think i know
when i feel like i'm home
is where i don't belong
(i don't belong...)
so don’t call me crazy
you were the one
that showed up at my door
crying
told you it’d end like this
you just called me mean
’cause i told you so
(i told you so…)
now we both think it's our fault
and you never let go
and i never let go
(oh— oh...)
And I don't belong (3x)
and now you're in my bed
while i'm stuck in my head
thinking where do i go?
where do i go?
this house ain’t a home no more
the moment you left
every song i play just feels like
it’s talking at me
now i hate all of ‘em
and the people who love ‘em.
and all my dreams are haunting me
but i still check my phone
'cause i think i know
when i feel like i'm home
is where i don't belong
for a love you regret
we swore forever
but this is how it ends
and all we got
was nothing but a show
but i still check my phone, though
every time i come home
it feels like i don’t belong
where do i go?

Lost and lonesome
KEI♱H
oh it ain't that bad
still at least alive
guess i'm kinda glad
i'm still here to cry
somewhere lost and lonesome
put a new face on
cover up the old scars
when you work a dead-end job
ya' gotta get up early
every morning
and punch in
shit ain't all that great
guess it's okay
i can try to lie
and pretend it's fine
but that ain't right
somewhere lost and lonesome
put a new face on
cover up the old scars
when you work a dead-end job
ya' gotta get up early
every morning
and punch in
somewhere lost and lonesome
i used to believe in love
oh i used to believe in god
but i don't anymore
i don’t anymore
i don’t anymore
somewhere lost and lonesome
put a new face on
cover up the old scars
when you work a dead-end job
ya' gotta get up early
every morning
and punch in
put a new face on
cover up the old scars
when you work a dead-end job
ya' gotta get up early
every morning
and punch in
![Thumb]()
Upside down
KEI♱H
every night the clock strikes midnight
gotta decide if i can go on
'cause i'm not feeling too strong
but i've made it so far
a new day
a new chance to
blow my brains out
or OD on sleeping pills
am i runnin' out of options?
god
i hope not
can you come here?
i need someone to hold on
but if you feel this way too
i could stay with you
it's been a really long day
and i could really use some company
my brain is hanging upside down
if i'm still breathing
in the morning
i guess that means
i still have some purpose
or some people to serve or
or some lessons to learn
seems my karma's not burnt up yet
and i'm not quite ready to burn
can you come here?
i need someone to hold on
but if you feel this way too
i could stay with you
it's been a really long day
and i could really use some company
my brain is hanging upside down
can you come here?
i need someone to hold on
but if you feel this way too
i could stay with you
it's been a really long day
and i could really use some company
my brain is hanging upside down
upside down...
upside down...
upside down...

Last Entry
KEI♱H
a lotta times my thoughts
are ones i’d never
hand to anyone else
i have them often
but that’s not something
i just share to anyone
so i stay quiet
i have to
there’s no one to talk to
no one to talk to
no one to talk to
so i write it down in my journal
i don’t know why i care
for people who don’t care for me
i’m just waiting for the day i die
and when i die you can burn it
burn this diary entry
sometimes i dream
i’m standing on a cliff
looking straight down
it’s steep
it’s pulling at me and
i wonder if i never jumped
would i still be free?
am i free? who do i tell
who do i tell
who do i tell
so i write it down in my journal
i don’t know why i care
for people who don’t care for me
i’m just waiting for the day i die
and when i die you can burn it
this will be my last entry
yeah the night is long
couldn’t stand up straight
always tripping
over the noise in my head
if the morning comes
well, that's just a spark
so i’ll take my time
i’ll get back to you
when i can smile
i don’t know why i care
i don’t know why i care
for people who don’t care for me
i’m just waiting for the day i die
and when i die you can burn it
burn it when i’m gone
throw the ashes with mine
where the guardrail finally gave...

So much going on
KEI♱H
sorry if i wake you up
my life’s been fucked,
i just wanted to talk
don’t know why
you’re still in my head
it’s been months,
thought i was fine
but the pain creeps up
never wanted it to be this way
never wanted you to go away
now when i think about it
i’d have given you everything
wish i had the guts to say it
but there was just
so much going on
i don’t think
it would’ve worked out
it’s two am
and i can’t sleep
so i think of you
i can’t help it
it’s always been you,
always will be
biggest fear i have
is i’ll never be the man
you thought i was or the one i want to be
now when i think about it
i’d have given you everything
wish i had the guts to say it
but there was just
so much going on
i don’t think it would’ve
worked out
when i see you in my dreams
i wanna know what it means
don’t need a reason
to believe in magic
but when i saw you
it felt so real
as real as real can feel
yeah, call me a fool
maybe selfish
but i hope you’re feeling
just as bad as me
do you know i still want you
did you find your answer
when you said
“i need to go?”
now when i think about it
it’s okay, it really is
i can love you in silence
there was just so much going on
and i don’t think it
would’ve worked out
you’re with someone else
and i’m with someone else.

White walls
KEI♱H
walked around all day
sat down by the river
and ponder
i used to think
there was something to find
but i’ve come to learn
it’s a lot like chasing
that rainbow
it’s been nice
bein’ the boy wonder
and when the sun
shone through the trees
you put your hand
in mine
you cover up
my eyes
and i start to climb
you put your arms
around my side
as i’m reaching
for the light
it’s gone
i can’t find it
but i’ll try
try, try, try
until the light
light, light, light
fills my eyes
eyes, eyes, eyes
i’ll try
try, try, try
until the white
white, white, white
fills my eyes
eyes, eyes, eyes
i just thought
that it’d take me somewhere
that’s how they trick you
it takes a while to learn
it ain’t really goin’ nowhere
so you tell me
if there’s something to find
well, i don’t think so
and i ain’t goin’ anywhere
it’s been nice
bein’ the boy wonder
and when the sun
shone through the trees
you put your hand
in mine
you cover up
my eyes
and i start to climb
you put your arms
around my side
as i’m reaching
for the light
it’s gone
i can’t find it
but i’ll try
try, try, try
until the light
light, light, light
fills my eyes
eyes, eyes, eyes
i’ll try
until the white
white, white, white
fills my eyes
eyes, eyes, eyes
and when the sun
shone through the trees
we’d go swimming
and get lost in the reeds
but now
it’s over.
