how could i do without
being in love, for just a while
i guess i could do so
by faking a smile
you've put hearts in the eyes of
every person i know
and i think that my heartless chest
is terribly slow
you're stealing my head, clouding my mind,
wasting my days, the happiest times
i'm terrified of what i would do,
if my every day weren't devoted to you
the scariest thing about
all of this now is that i
don't know a thing about you:
what if i've lied?
and when i find out that you
aren't exactly as i think
the dreams of our love, oh love
will fade to pink
you're stealing my head, clouding my mind,
wasting my days, the happiest times
i'm terrified of what i would do,
if my every day weren't devoted to you
i'm realizing that
somebody so gone,
when found, is never the same
and my heart's on the ground,
and my feet in the sky,
my legs will never be tame
you're stealing my head, clouding my mind,
wasting my days, the happiest times
i'm terrified of what i would do,
if my every day weren't devoted to you
stealing my head, clouding my mind,
wasting my days, the happiest times
i'm terrified of what i would do,
if my every day weren't devoted to you

timothée chalamet
est l'amour de ma vie
et même s'il me tuait
je lui dirais <<merci>>
oh timothée, timothée

timothée est trop mignon
j'aime vraiment ses cheveux
oui, j'adore ce garçon
je crois que je suis folle
oh timothée, timothée
timothée chalamet
timothée, timothée
timothée chalamet, chalamet

i thought i wanted more
but then they'd say i'd earned it
thought i was a perfectionist
but it seems to me you're perfect
i know they're smarter than i,
but i love them too stupid to realize
i thought we lived in a perfect world
but darlin please remind me — who told us we could fly?
and i, i thought i was my own,
but personalities have flown
and i thought i was my own,
but personalities have flown
i thought i truly loved you,
but did i ever like you? i don’t know
i thought i saw your eyes with mine
but they were simply lovely — it's my mind
and i, i thought the words were true
but i invade my mind with little thoughts of you
and i thought it was love, as of late
but draining me, draining me, see, are drops of hate
and i thought i was my own,
but personalities have flown
and i thought i was my own,
but personalities have flown
thought i saw your mind with mine,
his eyes
here i am in my little room
where everything is blue
and i love you

these are what the lyrics are supposed to be even though i messed them up:
i make enough mistakes
and it feels like she's the only one that hears the things i say
so if for any reason there's some miscommunication or i'm lying to her face
my immaturity and habits getting in the way
'cause i can barely breathe and i don't know how i'll explain myself this time
wish it wasn't a case of "this time"
but why can't i be any other boy
that doesn't need a hand in love?
someone that i would trust
but how did i fail
to give you all the love that you deserve?
when you're the only thing that's worth
what life is worth
and i don't mind if you hate me
'cause baby if i were you i would probably hate me too
i said that i don't mind if you hate me
'cause baby if i were you i would probably hate me too

can’t keep my eyes on everyone
sweltering in the midday sun
who do you expect me to be
when i can’t even see
i’m not your girl
i’m not your girl
i’m not your girl
and this is not my world
i think i’m gonna faint
fruit is all that i ate
who knew that we had to be
running in a dance frenzy
i’m not your girl
i’m not your girl
i’m not your girl
and this is not my world

"her voice is just a whine," she said
"a buzzing in my ear"
i don't know a thing
tell me something i can't hear
tell me who i am
agree with him and same to you
and i complain too much to try and i
want everything to be true
and so i'm sorry, morrissey
i'm sure you've "heard them said"
you may "trip me up and laugh"
when words are flying out my head
i'm so, so sorry, morrissey
i'm sure you've "heard them said"
you may "trip me up and laugh"
when words are flying out my head
these words weren't ever mine, no
all's been thought before
i've read too much and i confuse, oh
i'm not really sure
and so i'm sorry, morrissey
i'm sure you've "heard them said"
you may "trip me up and laugh"
when words are flying out my head
i'm so, so sorry, morrissey
i'm sure you've "heard them said"
you may "trip me up and laugh"
when words are flying out my head

pretty heartless
02:39
|

you've got a fairly dimpled smile
i'd like to ask you to stay awhile, ooh
'cause i don't think that you've forgotten me
oh, me
may i take your quiet mind and try
to put it in between their plastic lines
i don't think they're true as you could be
could be
so let's play that record on your t-shirt to the end,
and when it ends we'll flip it back to start again
and when my heart explodes you'll keep a beating piece
and then we'll listen to the trees
and i've never spoken
i've never spoken to you
i've never spoken
but i think i can tolerate you

once again, this is what the lyrics are supposed to be, not what i sang:
so bad when you went away
nothing i could do or say
and now we are a lonely two
sit at home and watch the tube
i've been hurt before,
sorrow knocking on my door
pain
and so i make a brand-new-life
fashioned out of brand-new strife
and when i hear the doorbell ring
i can never let them in to me
pain is in me every day
when you went it came to stay
come and be a cure for me
make the tears come out of me
i've been hurt before,
sorrow knocking on my door
pain
so bad when you went away
nothing i could do or say
and when i hear the doorbell ring
i can never let them in to me

summer i dream
01:28
|
|||
|
i go for a stroll
with high hopes
that i’ll see you around
i go to the store and scan the room
before i turn to the ground
the warmth in the air doesn’t compare
to my imagination
in the summer i dream of skin and hair, but you’re never there
ooh
how can i love you if i don’t see you at all
how can i love you if i don’t
|

think i’ve got everything you need
and i think i’ve got what you want, maybe
but when i, when i, see your smiling, gleaming face
oh i don’t know who to become this time
should i blush?
should i sing?
should i laugh a little too hard?
'cause that’s usually what i end up doing, 'round your eyes
or should i, should i, lay on the ground and cry for you?
'cause that’s usually how i feel when i’m, oh, when i’m
around you
can’t stop staring at your candied lips
pneumatic, pseudo-memories of last night’s kiss
but it happened, oh, it happened, in my waking drifting dream
and nothing, nothing’s as i pictured it
you won’t blush
you won’t sing
you laugh just as you do
'cause you feel nothing
nothing more than the twinkle in your eye
and you won’t, oh, no, you won’t, lay on the ground and cry for me
'cause that’s only how i feel, when i’m, oh, when i’m
around you
how can i live when you don’t care one bit
how can i live
how can i live if you don’t give a shit
how can i live when i’m around you
around you
