I almost wish that you hated me 'Cause every time we speak I feel more sorry for you I made a mistake But that doesn't mean you can exaggerate what we've been through I know I fucked up But the past doesn't give you a pass To sit around And hope things come to you And I know it's hard to move on, but Loving a broken crutch won't help it lift you up I don't think that you know who you are Or what kind of person you wish you could be You're just floating, and coasting And hoping that no one sees Floating Coasting Never coping Hoping no one sees The past doesn't give you a pass To sit around And hope things come to you And I know it's hard to move on, but Loving a broken crutch won't help it lift you up

I miss you I know I've said it a thousand times But I'll say it again I miss you And I just keep replaying the last things that you said In my head That you didn't wanna get emotional again But a part of me hopes you did 'Cause when you went back inside It's like a part of me Followed back in with you And I cried on the highway Like I cried when you held me On the last day you were here And since you left The colors of this place have all run gray And since you left I can't help but wish that you had stayed But you left And that's best for you And it's what you wanted But you left And I wish we could've finished what we started I'm a wreck It sounds cliche to say But it's true I'm a mess And I don't think I'll be okay until I see you again And it's not fair As soon as you walked into my life You turned around and ran And maybe one day I'll catch you But it won't be the same as it was back then And since you left The colors of this place have all run gray And since you left I can't help but wish that you had stayed But you left And that's best for you And it's what you wanted But you left And I wish we could've finished what we started (Ya know I wish that we could finish what we started)

I wanna fuckin' move out But I can't afford it 'Cause the summer's over, and I'm unemployed And don't know what I'm gonna do about it I thought extra time in this place would make it seem like the summer wasn't over But now all the people I love are gone And it feels empty, awful, and darker I really miss you And I hope you miss me too But there's no way for me to really know When the only time I see you's when I'm starin' at my phone And I never thought I'd wanna go All the way to Colorado But after sayin' goodbye again I wanna see those fuckin' mountains Just give me one more week with the people I love most Or just one more day to say goodbye I'm not ready to go home And we can lie and say we'll see each other in a month or maybe next year But we all know that people move on And they're gonna move on from here (Gonna move on from here)

Spill 02:51
I'm not the type of person to not go all in I'm all or nothing No I can't just get my feet wet Especially with love My feelings are all dead set I can't take risks anymore I need a safe bet 'Cause someone fucked me up before And they know what they did And ever since I just always had my feelings Hidden from the world As to look less vulnerable But since I've opened up I can't escape what's in my skull I'll be honest I'm a wreck ever since you left And that's not your fault It's just the way that I am You had a presence that would calm my insecurities And now you're gone And I can't fight what's haunting me I don't want you to feel like you left this mess For me to clean up It was here long before we met But I feel like I miss you more than you miss me And not being good enough is fucking killing me I feel so ignored Like a spill on the floor That you never bothered to clean up So you cover me up With a blanket or rug To hide what are now rotten floorboards But I'll always be there In the back of your mind And one day I'll be exposed And then you'll have to stare at me Warped and rotting And finally reap what you sewed But I'm not just a spill And I won't let you kill What was left of my pride And I'll keep a strong will Because I'm not complacent I won't lie here patient Because I've been too silent But I'm ready to face this You will never love me The way I wanted to love you And it hurts to say it But the sooner I face it The sooner I'll pull through And I hope You'll remember me As more than just a vacation And if I find someone new They'll never be just your replacement

about

Songs About Being Alone is an EP I wrote at a time, that is probably pretty evident, when I wasn't very happy. It started as a small collection of acoustic songs, but I quickly began working on full band arrangements to give these songs their full potential. The result is something I'm truly proud of, and I hope that you, the listener, can find something meaningful in this project just as I do.

Enjoy!
-Mitch Stout
