lyrics

so you got burned, burned, burned
you put your heart in two places, your heart in two places

can’t you learn, learn learn
it don’t feel all that amazing
cause you can’t replace how you felt then

the human heart is not a puzzle
with temporary pieces
took you too long to find

has your mental rental caused you trouble?
when you’ve overpromised leases
across your mind

’cause other people aren’t symbols
that are there to help you grow
they’ve got their battles that aren’t simple
when your signals come and go
I know... I know

so you got burned, burned, burned
you put your heart in two places, your heart in two places

can’t you turn, turn turn
from how good you think the chase is
cause you can’t replace how you felt then
and you can’t try and pretend

[vocalizing]

the human heart is not a horcrux
where you leave yourself inside
you’ll leave your lovers feeling empty
when you let your soul divide
I know... I know

you say you’ve got your demons -- we’ve got our demons, too
well, god, I need a cigarette -- for everything that i’ve been through

you say you’ve got your baggage -- we’ve got our baggage, too
well, god, I need a Gatorade -- for everything i’ve been through

you say you’ve got your demons -- no ghosts left on your side
well, that's still no excuse to treat everyone so unkind

don't forget we’ve got our baggage, too
so we'll rewrite the narrative
for everything that we've been through

Showtunes, emo revival, and bright, accessible, forthright lyrics form the backdrop for a unique, relatable collection. New album out February 4th!!!!! ... more
