I'm particular I'm expensive, so it were but Nothing of value traces the back of my hand Until your fingers Please don't leave me in the dark I could never navigate these halls On my own without your torch You're exceptional I've been crushing on you so hard That when you leave me I'm a fucking mess I don't know what to do with my hands And please don't leave me in the dark I could never navigate these halls On my own without your torch I'm particular Fucking expensive You're exceptional I've been crushing on you so hard That when you leave me I'm a fucking mess I don't know what to do with my hands I'm begging you love me Come and light the flame To guide me through this humble maze I'm particular (particular) I'm expensive so it were (expensive) but Nothing of value traces the back of my hand Until your fingers And please don't leave me in the dark I could never navigate these halls On my own without your torch

She's a beautiful fool With an audience of actual She disregards the rules But they tie her down, no she can't make a sound She's cynically optimistic Unintentionally cryptic She's not free yet, but she wants to be Oh, she's a spirit in disguise She's a goddess With a knack for climbing trees She's a maniac And she'll dance alone in the middle of the street She's radiant but fragile There's a universe behind each smile She's not free yet, but she wants to be Oh, she's a spirit in disguise She's not free yet, but she's yearning to be Oh, she's a spirit in disguise Hmm, Spirit in disguise

I've always wanted a family I was willing to wait But then you tried to force it out of me And I didn't know better than to think See, I was too caught up in the moment And your words and body lured me in Now I'm left having to face those indiscretions Wondering where all my decency went I wanted to be vulnerable and I think you did too So I'm sure it was just a matter of time Before I'd regret giving all of myself to you Things that should have still been mine Should have still been mine I wanted someone who could know me And you seemed to have that empathy Well turns out that was more of a façade But we still have more in common than you might think See, I think that we're both deeply broken And I toiled to help make you feel loved and mend But man there's problems there that I worked too damn hard to fix That made you too scared to commit I feel the hardest part is looking back And after everything, figuring out why I stayed Trying to convince myself it was anything other than That I honestly thought you were in love with me Now I think you were more in love with your own senses Or the kind of love you find in magazines The kind you wont get just by latching on to someone new Without humanity getting in the way I wanted to be vulnerable and I think you did too So I'm sure it was just a matter of time Before I'd regret giving all of myself to you Things that should have still been mine Should have still been mine Should have still been mine

All my friends are getting married And its weird thinking that I'm at that age But I went to a Christian college when I met them So that median age is lower, like 23 But I'll gladly grin and bear it I mean it's not like I'm in any rush to find love Been doing lots of working out and studying abroad So maybe it'll happen when I finally grow up Right now I'm trying to be fine with the quiet I'm trying to learn how to love myself I try not to think about it I was raised thinking that it would happen by now But I look in the mirror wondering how I'd provide for a family When I can barely care for myself Lately I've been trying to listen And take a lot of notes on all the things that I like So maybe when the right one stumbles into my life Maybe I'll be better prepared, maybe I'll know it outright Right now I'm trying to be fine with the quiet I'm trying to learn how to love myself Oh I'm trying to be fine with the quiet I'm trying to learn how to love myself So raise a glass to the ones who ain't looking And to the people in the room soul searching You don't need another person to make you happy You can do it just fine on your own Raise a glass to the ones who ain't looking And to the people in the room soul searching You don't need another person to make you happy You can do it just fine Oh I'm trying to be fine with the quiet I'm trying to learn how to love myself Oh I'm trying to be fine with the quiet I'm trying to learn how to love myself Oh I'm trying to be fine with the quiet I'm trying to learn how to love myself
