VERSE 1 I know I’ve been a little distant But the thought of you’s a little different now And you should know it’s not your fault I know I told you not to worry I don’t know what I’m even sorry about And maybe there’s nothing at all I tried to explain but the words left me behind Will you even listen this time? CHORUS Tell me if you can Please pick up the phone No matter what I tell you, don’t leave me alone Tell me if you can Just a quick hello You’re one of the few things that could ever bring me home Could ever bring me home Could ever bring me home VERSE 2 I know you hoped that it’d be different I did what I could to cut the distance down And at this point, it’s not my fault You know I’m trying to figure it out We both know I’m lying to you right now And if you want to stay, it’s your call I tried not to need you and leave it all behind Will you even miss me this time? CHORUS Tell me if you can Please pick up the phone No matter what I tell you, don’t leave me alone Tell me if you can Just a quick hello You’re one of the few things that could ever bring me home Could ever bring me home Could ever bring me home

Verse 1 I turn my song on, and it feels like magic They just fade away, and it’s not so tragic I got both of my headphones by my side They’ll keep fighting on but I’ll be fine Chorus Oh, I know this music won’t shut out all the screaming But I hope that maybe I could make it through the evening And I’ll keep on faking a smile And you’ll keep it inside for a while So I know that I’ll be fine For the rest of tonight For the rest of tonight For the rest of tonight, tonight, tonight For the rest of tonight Verse 2 Let’s go to someplace where there will be silence Take me far away from all the violence Where there’s bright orange trees, and there’s no one but me I turn my song on, and I feel free Chorus Oh, I know this music won’t shut out all the screaming But I hope that maybe I could make it through the evening And I’ll keep on faking a smile And you’ll keep it inside for a while So I know that I’ll be fine For the rest of tonight For the rest of tonight, tonight, tonight For the rest of tonight

Verse 1 I could still remember how you used to taste Like cherries and vanilla with a hint of date And perhaps I should’ve noticed how you pulled away But there’s nothing quite as sweet as this This dream is painted with some shades of pink and blue When I try to recreate, it doesn’t look like you So I’m not so sure there’s anything that I could do When you fade, I feel a trace of a kiss Chorus I didn’t know that you left Or even that we’re through I didn’t know that I meant So little to you After everything’s destroyed You don’t get to call me your boy ‘Cause I didn’t know I meant So little to you Verse 2 I can still remember how we sneaked around Playin’ hide and seek and hoping never to be found And our whispers always made prettiest of sounds There was always more of you to adore I thought I was more to you than just some fun Or at least I’m worth enough for you to say we were done But I guess she came around and made you fall love And there’s no place for me anymore Chorus I didn’t know that you left Or even that we’re through I didn’t know that I meant So little to you After everything’s destroyed You don’t get to call me your boy ‘Cause I didn’t know I meant So little to you Bridge I thought I was the one At least that’s what you’ve said for months Cut me off when summer’s done ‘Cause I guess you’ve had your fun I would be fine without a lover But babe, I didn’t think I’d lose a friend But it had to end Chorus I didn’t know that you left Or even that we’re through I didn’t know that I meant So little to you After everything’s destroyed You don’t get to call me your boy ‘Cause I didn’t know I meant So little to you

VERSE 1 My heart is broken But it’s fucking dinner time I’ll pick up the shards, and Try to crack a smile The words you’ve spoken What should I hide them in? This whole apartment I don’t even know where to fucking begin So I’ll do us both a favor And I’ll never try to put us back together VERSE 2 You just want silence There’s nothing you won’t do To hide the violence That you were born into So I keep trying Put back the shards of you When you’re always fighting Can you ever be anything but cruel? So I’ll do us both a favor And I’ll never try to put us back together Ever again

VERSE 1 (Khuê) I heard you’re sorry Through a friend of mine I heard you got me A present that I didn’t even like I heard you moved Out of the home that never wanted you So I hope you found someone That you don't want to lose I was never good enough I was just a story that you made up Time will never be enough I just wish there was a way I could give you up CHORUS I don’t wanna disappear I just wanna stay right here In this home I’ve built inside your life I don’t wanna fade away Locked inside of yesterday I don’t wanna mean nothing after goodbye I don’t wanna I don’t wanna disappear I don’t wanna I don’t wanna VERSE 2 (Ellen Shieh) I don’t wanna disappear, no Always knew that I was just someone new Someone who just made you feel Someone who just Made your heart beat a little faster But you don’t wanna know my fears So how you wanna feel me near? Can I even say this clearly? I don’t wanna see us fall apart I don’t wanna leave so quickly Wanna hold on to you tightly I don’t wanna see you disappear tonight But I wanna disappear now CHORUS I don’t wanna disappear I just wanna stay right here In this home I’ve built inside your life I don’t wanna fade away Locked inside of yesterday I don’t wanna mean nothing after goodbye I don’t wanna I don’t wanna disappear I don’t wanna I don’t wanna BRIDGE Was I a phase? Was I your love? Am I a memory you keep locked up? Am I a reminder of all the things you’re running from? If you’re ashamed of what we had, If you’re to blame for all the bad, I still don’t want to disappear into the past, love Was I a phase? Was I your love? Am I a memory you keep locked up? Or is there some way I could ease into your touch? If there was shame, there was still love If there was blame, it’s gone with us And yet I hate that it’s so hard to give you up
