“I was voted the panty-droppingest chef west of the Mississippi two years running,” he says. There’s that knot again, along with the fervent wish that I had a harder time believing it. “Too bad we’re east of the Mississippi.”
“I can feel the rage burning up inside my heart
Knowing you’re no longer here
I can’t stop thinking about what I could’ve done
But ‘til this day, I live in fear
I fell apart, burnt to the ground
Got nothing but ashes in my eyes
It’s black and cold as night
I wish I was there with you by your side
I don’t know if I can sleep well tonight
They tell me to keep moving on
Yeah, I’ll never be the same
But I know that deep in my heart
I’ll carry all the pain”

“I wanna be myself (I don’t care)
Yeah, I gotta be myself (Just don’t care)
And now that your weight’s come off my shoulders
I realize that I can fly
I needed to find me (Now I know)
The key was inside of me all along
I’m listening to my heart, let it guide me
I feel the light, I feel the light”

“You know whenever there’s a chance
I’ll tell you that you’re amazing as you are
‘Cause when you give me a glance
I’m sure that I see the universe in your eyes
Don’t you ever tell yourself that you’re not enough
I’m certain that you’re truly fine
You are a miracle, miracle
You are youtiful”

“I feel like I became a zombie
Not alive, but I’m still walking
And when the sunrise is upon me
I’ll be waiting for the day to pass by, oh why?
I became a zombie
And there's nothing that can cure me
So tomorrow I know I'll be just the same
You'll see me wishin' to stop and close my eyes”

“I hate to admit it
I still miss you
How could I forget?
I promised you
I hate to admit it
It’s hard to understand
How could I forget
The day you lied to me?”
