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
