The Forest

Welcome to the forest. Let’s explore and get lost together.

oh my god

[caliphoria17]

HOLY MOTHER OF—

[laurax22]

When you left, I bet you held her body closer

And I was hopin' you would tell her it was over

You're all I think about and everywhere I look

I know it's bad, but we could be so good

Maria calls me and she says she's getting married

She asked me if there's any extra weight I carry

And do I think about the one that got away?

I know his name, I think about him everyday

[laurax22]

How do you fall in love?

Harder than a bullet could hit you

How do we fall apart?

Faster than a hairpin trigger

Don't you say, don't you say it

Don't say, don't you say it

One breath, it'll just break it

So shut your mouth and run me like a river

[laurax22]

Love has made me a fool

It set me on fire and watched as I floundered

Unable to speak

Except to cry out and wait for your answer

But you come around in your time

Speaking of fabulous places, create an oasis

Dries up as soon as you're gone

You leave me here burning in this desert without you

[laurax22]

And I don't understand

How the touch of your hand

I would be the one to fall

I miss the little things

I miss everything

About you

It doesn't mean much

It doesn't mean anything at all

The life I left behind me

Is a cold room

(Who are you?)

[laurax22]

I neeeeedddd Taylor’s version of Clean and Imogen Heap to get way more credit on the song. 😍

Ten months sober, I must admit

Just because you're clean, don't mean you don't miss it

Ten months older, I won't give in

Now that I'm clean, I'm never gonna risk it

The drought was the very worst

(Oh-oh, oh-oh)

When the flowers that we'd grown together died of thirst

(Oh)

Rain came pouring down

When I was drowning, that's when I could finally breathe

And by morning

Gone was any trace of you, I think I am finally clean

[laurax22]

Runnin' wild, 'round a roundabout

Got it figured out, why you only go in circles

You can lie, all your walls around

All them building blocks

No exit, no exit

Baby I know my gospel but I ain't a preacher

Sorry to burst your bubble, but somebody needs to

We're-a feed your ego, ego

Bang-bang baby, down you fall

Ain't you mister know-it-all?

Ego, ego

Bang-bang baby, down you fall

Ain't you mister know-it-all?

[laurax22]

So take your empty words,

Your broken promises

And all the time you stole cause

I am done with this

I can give it away, give it away

I'm doing everything I should've

And now I'm making the change

I'm living the day

I'm giving back what you gave me

I don't need anything

I knew it all along

You're so predictable

I knew something would go wrong

(something's going wrong)

So you don't have to call

Or say anything at all

You're so predictable

(so predictable)

Everywhere I go, everyone I meet

Everytime I try to fall in love

They all want to know why I'm so broken

Why am I so cold?

Why I'm so hard inside?

Why am I scared? what am I afraid of?

I don't even know

This story never had an end

I've been waiting, I've been searching

I've been hoping

I've been dreaming you would come back

But I know the ending of this story

You are never coming back, never, never....

[laurax22]

Is it love? Call it chemical

The way you touch, so unforgettable

Feel the rush

I don't wanna sleep with fever dreams when I'm

With you, feel like the summer

Saturday upper, I want you

Don't make me wait, take me away

[laurax22]

😍 beautiful

[laurax22]

Do you believe

In what you see

Motionless wheel

Nothing is real

Wasting my time

In the waiting line

Do you believe in

What you see

Nine to five

Living lies

Everyday

Stealing time

Everyone's taking everything they can

Everything they can

Everyone's taking everything they can

Everything they can

[laurax22]

You got it, you got it

Some kind of magic

Hypnotic, hypnotic

You're leaving me breathless

I hate this, I hate this

You're not the one I believe in

With God as my witness

Now when I caught myself, I had to stop myself

I'm saying something that I should have never thought

Now when I caught myself, I had to stop myself

I'm saying something that I should have never thought of you

[laurax22]

I dress to kill my time

I take the long way home

I ask the traffic lights if it'll be all right

They say, "I don't know"

And what once was ours is no one's now

I see you everywhere

The only thing we share

Is this small town

You said it was a great love

One for the ages

But if the story's over

Why am I still writing pages?

[laurax22]

We were so bright

Standing in the sunlight

Never got burnt, we were alright

Had that easy kind of love and I let it in

For a moment

Felt like we were floating

Baby, I swear, we were golden

It was easy, natural as breathing air

And when the sky went dark

You think I would have known

Before we let it get this far

I should have let you go

[laurax22]

But I knew you'd linger like a tattoo kiss

I knew you'd haunt all of my what-ifs

The smell of smoke would hang around this long

'Cause I knew everything when I was young

I knew I'd curse you for the longest time

Chasin' shadows in the grocery line

I knew you'd miss me once the thrill expired

And you'd be standin' in my front porch light

And I knew you'd come back to me

You'd come back to me

And you'd come back to me

And you'd come back

[laurax22]

But we were something, don't you think so?

Roaring 20s, tossing pennies in the pool

And if my wishes came true

It would've been you

In my defense, I have none

For never leaving well enough alone

But it would've been fun

If you would've been the one
