Take a look at what you made me
Calling me crazy, that's what you made me
Cause I got needs, yeah, I got needs
I want war, but I need peace
Ripped up my old love letters
Tick tock, you got me fed up
Used up your chances, held my heart for ransom
i want war (BUT I NEED PEACE) - Kali Uchis
Kayte called me out for being lyrically depressing so we're going to do MJ tries to be upbeat: the ultimate challenge xD
Orange Trees - MARINA
I can see the flowers and the greenery

When all I needed was a little peace
Flowers in my hair, I belong by the sea
Where we used to be, sittin' by the orange trees
Handmade Heaven - MARINA
But in this handmade heaven, I come alive
Bluebirds forever colour the sky

I took a broken heart and made it beat

One step closer to the ones we love

When The Nights Get Long - Jukebox The Ghost
I wanna write you a letter
I wanna write you a song
I wanna make it better
For when the nights get long
And I close my eyes and try to hide, but all of a sudden
It's you and me in the middle of it all
Painting Flowers - All Time Low
When I wake up the dream isn't done
I want to see your face and know I made it home
If nothing is true, what more can I do?
I am still painting flowers for you
We Were Here - BOY
We sang "forever young," we had our fingers crossed
And when the city sleeps, it dreams of us
'Cause everywhere we've been, we have been leaving traces
They won't ever disappear
We were here, we were here, we were really here
And the rains get rough, but time can't wash us off
We won't ever disappear
We were here, it was really love
It's only little things: footmarks and fingerprints, a treasure hunt through town
It's full of evidence, our monuments are all around
Everything's on the move; the paint is wet, all colors are new
But if you look carefully, you'll see us shining through
Be More Kind - Frank Turner
You should know you're not alone
And trouble comes, and trouble goes
How this ends, no one knows

But when you're out there floundering
Like a lighthouse I will shine

Together we're dancing in the dark

But you came at the right time
Follow you to roses
Show me to the sunshine
Everybody Knows - The Naked and Famous
Everybody knows you're my sickness and the cure
Everybody knows, everybody knows that I'm yours
I'm not immune
To waves of doubt
No guarantee that I won't ever let you down
Well-Rehearsed - The Naked and Famous
We are more than a world convinced of its worth
And we're doubling down
Just to show that it works
If it hurts it must be real
All I love disappears like lightning
There's nowhere to go, only one way to learn
What if I let go lightly?
Coming Back To Me - The Naked and Famous
I buried the idea of love
It buried me and left me in the dust
Sometimes I don't feel good enough
/ft. random swedish pop singers that youtube recommends to me?
Face My Fears - Isak Danielson
I could fly high and never be low
I could be far away from home
I would face my fears, and they disappear
I'd be happy on my own
Falling in love wouldn't be hard
I could deal with a broken heart
I'd be anything that I wanted to be
And I'd never feel my scars
But will someone ever love me for who I am?
Start Again - Isak Danielson
But I need you to trust me, I'll change
There'll be fireworks and bonfires and walks in the rain
Love Me Wrong - Isak Danielson
So love me wrong if you can't love me right
hello this is just some new Lord Huron and some old The National faves but~
Long Lost - Lord Huron
Leave me where the moonbeams carve through the leaves like blades
Lay me in the tall-grown grass in a shallow grave
I've got a place in the world and I found out where
Out in the night all alone in the way out there
I ain't lonely
I'm long lost
Send me to the mountains
Let me go free forever
I'll be running through the forest
Dancing in the fields like this
Twenty Long Years - Lord Huron
There’s a method to my madness
There’s a secret to this town
There’s a reason why I’m still living here
Though I can’t think of it right now
What Do It Mean - Lord Huron
So much to say, but my words mean nothing
A life spent talking when my epitaph would do
Wasting my days with my mind on the future
And my past like a chain that won't ever let me go
Going to fly through my life till I crash into the ending
You Had Your Soul With You - The National
And I just can't find a way to forgive myself
I had only one thing left and I couldn't see it yet
I have owed it to my heart, every word I've said
Quiet Light - The National
But I'm learning to lie here in the quiet light
While I watch the sky go from black to grey
Learning how not to die inside a little every time
I think about you and wonder if you are awake
The Pull of You - The National
What was it you always said?
We're connected by a thread
If we're ever far apart
I'll still feel the pull of you
Hey Rosey - The National
You said you got to let me escape myself
You said I don't know how not to want something else

And she'll love you like a radiant flame
There's never really any safety in it
So Far, So Fast - The National
What you think I am, it's never been me

String ourselves up for love
Conversation 16 - The National

Live on coffee and flowers
And try not to wonder what the weather will be
Bloodbuzz Ohio - The National
I never thought about love when I thought about home
SOUR by Olivia Rodrigo, get ready for some hardcore angst >D also if you haven’t listened to this pls doooo
Brutal
Where's my fucking teenage dream?
All I did was try my best
This the kinda thanks I get?
Traitor
I kept quiet so I could keep you.
You betrayed me
And I know that you'll never feel sorry
For the way I hurt
Loved you at your worst, but that didn't matter
Guess you didn't cheat, but you're still a traitor.
God, I wish that you had thought this through
Before I went and fell in love with you
Driver’s License
And I just can't imagine
How you could be so okay now that I'm gone
1 step forward, 3 steps back
And maybe in some masochistic way
I kind of find it all exciting
Like, which lover will I get today?
Will you walk me to the door or send me home crying?
Do you love me, want me, hate me?
There’s def more in that album so I’ll probably post more later :P
do I just live my life with headphones on and a soundtrack at all times so I can feel like the main character of an indie movie? maybe so
Glitter & Crimson – All Time Low
I wonder if you feel kinda like I feel, temporary
Fixed on a moment just out of focus
And we can't quite see
Being us ain't good for us
And I don't wanna wait 'til the sunshine fades
And bury our love in a shallow grave
'Cause the world could be cruel to us or
We could live for the dangerous
Let's start, let's start a riot
Hard to sit still when your head's on fire
How long can we be
Happy if happy ain't meant for us?
No compromise and no second best
There's no stopping now, this weight on my chest
I won't settle down, won't settle for less
I won't settle for less

Maybe this is madness underneath my skin
Guess love is a response of the body it haunts
And we do what it wants

There was love on my tongue
but it came with a warning

From a lonely night
Came to me in a dream
I guess I'm the love of my life

Never be so clever
You forget to be kind

Losing myself and loving no one
California – Mallory Knox
Throwing pennies down the wishing well
Setting fires in the midnight air to kill
All our dreams, 'cause it hurts like hell
Wired – Mallory Knox
I'm trapped inside of my skin
I've tried to change but I never will
I cannot kill the cynic within
Set my heart on fire
Live my life on the wire
I hate to say it but I'm a let down
I only learn from what I lose
For You – Mallory Knox
Well sometimes it feels like tomorrow
Is paved with yesterday's sorrow
We break hearts to survive

I am impossibly cursed
Love By Mistake – Bad Suns
I fell in love by mistake
I fell in love like the rain
Tonight’s not over
Come over and stay
Away We Go – Bad Suns
I need some kind of reaction
I need a little compassion, passion too
Maybe a night of romance, can I dance with you?
Darkness Arrives (And Departs) – Bad Suns
Tomorrow looks different
When hope seems so distant
Distant, the days that I want
Love You Sober – RHODES
I know I'm not perfect
You know I'm not easy to love
Don't need another way to hurt
Just need another way to hold on
Find another way to shut the dark side out
This Shouldn't Work – RHODES
I never knew I had love, now I know
I know that this shouldn't work but it does
My Own Monster – X Ambassadors
I walk these city streets alone so I can disappear
Joyful – X Ambassadors
Lived a life full of vice, passion and crime
Can't say I'm perfect, but I certainly tried

Counting up my debts, never counting my blessings
Always out of reach, but it's right there in front of me
Wherever I run, wherever I go
Will I ever stop wanting more?

You've cut this story down to the bone

Bless spotify for adding an in-built lyrics feature, here are some ideas from a general shuffle:
Falling - Florence + The Machine
Because falling is not the problem
When I'm falling I'm at peace
It's only when I hit the ground
It causes all the grief
Gold - Penny and Sparrow
All that I do is a shadow of you
You're a difficult love,
I'm a narrow escape
All of my guilt and the way that I'm built
I don't sleep so well
Stars Are On Your Side - Ross Copperman
That place you're searching for, I know you'll find
'Cause the stars are on your side
Afloat - The Gospel Youth
But I've never felt any comfort in my skin
I've been breaking all of my bones just to fit in
Currents - Dashboard Confessional
And if it's got to end
then let it end in flames
So hot with love we burned our hands
Mayday - Wild Rivers
And I deceived you with false virtue
Now I am sitting like a gambler in his debt
Counting all the ways that I would hurt you
Splinter - Well-Known Strangers
I've sliced some dreams stern to stern
All my heartaches I have earned
Book Smart - Air Traffic Controller
Don't be so book smart
Get a read on my heart
From Afar - Vance Joy
You light me up across the room
Two falling sparks, one willing fool
And I, I always knew I would love you
From afar
Comme Des Garcons (Like The Boys) - Rina Sawayama
Yeah I'm just in it, born to win it
Excuse my ego, can't go incognito
Oh God it's okay
You should never be ashamed to have it all
Calm Your Nerves - Cold War Kids
You've been everything to everyone
You disappear when you feel too much
Wish I knew where so I could follow
Take me to the place where you escape
And we can face the world tomorrow
New Jerusalem - Bear's Den
I wish I'd been older
I wish I'd been more of a guardian
A shoulder to cry on, a brother to rely upon
Can you learn to forgive all that you learn to forget?
At Least I Have Nothing - Saint Motel
At least I have nothing
Nothing to tie me down
World Burn - Mean Girls on Broadway
Quote:I wanna watch the world burn
I got the gasoline
Saw Gang of Youths live last night and afterwards one of the people I went with said they'd "never been to such an 'old man gig' before" and I was like "uhhh what do you mean, this crowd is super young" >.> Anyway, here, in defence of my old man band tastes, all the below are Gang of Youths <3
you in everything
I still need you in everything
The places you have walked, I consider holy ground
'Cause I will look for you every time
the angel of 8th ave.
I wanna lay me down
And be lovеr of the year
In this strange new town
This strange hemisphere
You called each of my sorrows by name
forbearance
All that I wanted was something to save me
Fear and Trembling
And I waited on forever, but forever never came
Just a latent sense of loyalty to the things I love in vain
And now I’m terrified of loving 'cause I’m terrified of pain
So light ‘em up, those shadows in my blood
What Can I Do If The Fire Goes Out?
Do I throw my clothes in the fire?
Do I throw my hopes in the fire?
Do those things grow in the fire
Or burn just to keep me alive?
Achilles Come Down
Hurt and grieve but don’t suffer alone
Engage with the pain as a motive
see how the most dangerous thing is to love
Persevere
I used to wanna be important, now I just wanna be alive
And without fear
You've got to persevere
Let Me Down Easy
You want someone to want you for who you are
I want someone to try, or let me down easy, easy tonight
But hey, I’m still young and it’s gonna be okay
I got solipsism, baby, and I brought lemonade
The Heart Is A Muscle
'Cause the heart is a muscle
And I wanna make it strong
The Good Fight
Well, I am young and taking arms
Against a sea of troubles of my own
