the 1
And if you wanted me, you really should’ve showed
But we were something, don’t you think so?
And if my wishes came true, it would’ve been you
In my defense, I have none, for never leaving well enough alone
We never painted by the numbers, baby but we were making it count
I persist and resist the temptation to ask you if one thing had been different, would everything be different today?
But it would’ve been fun if you would’ve been the one
cardigan
When you are young, they assume you know nothing
And when I felt like I was an old cardigan under someone’s bed, you put me on and said I was your favorite
Marked me like a bloodstain, I knew you
I knew you’d haunt all of my what-ifs
I knew I’d curse you for the longest time
And I knew you’d come back to me
the last great american dynasty
The wedding was charming, if a little gauche
Their parties were tasteful, if a little loud
There goes the most shameless woman this town has ever seen
Who knows, if she never showed up, what could’ve been
Who knows, if I never showed up, what could’ve been
I had a marvelous time ruining everything
exile ft bon iver
You’re not my homeland anymore, so what am I defending now?
I can see you starin’, honey like he’s just your understudy
I think I’ve seen this film before, so I’m leaving out the side door
So step right out, there is no amount of crying I can do for you
All this time we always walked a very thin line
my tears ricochet
Even on my worst day, did I deserve, babe, all the hell you gave me?
I didn’t have it in myself to go with grace
And if I’m dead to you, why are you at the wake?
You know I didn’t want to have to haunt you
‘Cause when I’d fight, you used to tell me I was brave
You had to kill me, but it killed you just the same
mirrorball
I’ll show you every version of yourself tonight
Spinning in my highest heels, love, shining just for you
You are not like the regulars
I’m still trying everything to get you laughing at me
And I’m still a believer, but I don’t know why
I’ve never been a natural, all I do is try, try, try
seven
Cross your heart, won’t tell no other
And I’ve been meaning to tell you - I think your house is haunted
And just like a folk song, our love will be passed on
And I think you should come live with me
Before I learned civility I used to scream ferociously
august
August slipped away into a moment in time
‘Cause you were never mine
Back when we were still changin’ for the better
Wanting was enough For me, it was enough
So much for summer love and saying “us” 'cause you weren’t mine to lose
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
