Souvenir ft. Carly Winter Lyrics

Keep my head below your standards

Look down, avoid your eyes

I thought I'd have someone to talk with

At fault for getting my hopes high

Would you think that I'm surrounded

Pretend to shuffle through the crowd

Smiled for how I thought it sounded

Now I can't help but hate the sound

Put on the songs we'd play

When you wanted me here

You brought back some half-assed souvenir, thinking I'd be home

Bow down to my level

Show up to my show tonight

At least act like you're going

At least ask what time

I'm glad you stopped finding problems

Or saying what they are

You were a child prodigy

I never said you'd be a star

I saw your footprints all around

You know mud can't keep secrets like sand can

It's not yours just 'cuz it's something you found and then you laugh at what you don't understand

And we were great on paper

Soon to fold, rip, and tear

We're just kids thrown together and called the perfect pair

Put on the songs we'd play

When you wanted me here

You brought back some half-assed souvenir

Thinking I'd be home

Put on the songs we'd play

When you wanted me here

You brought back some half-assed souvenir

Thinking I'd be home

I'm losing sight of you

Attend some party school

When we swore we'd get on the road

Have you joked enough

I only feel judged

By someone I no longer know

I cannot justify

What you do to get by

And I don't mind it now

You will forever lie

Inside of my own life

I can't listen when you shout

Put on the songs we'd play

When you wanted me here

You brought back some half-assed souvenir

Thinking I'd be home

Put on the songs we'd play

When you wanted me here

You brought back some half-assed souvenir

Thinking I'd be home

Just one more day and I'll leave it alone

Just one more night and I'll keep it

Bring back some thoughtful souvenir

Starting tomorrow I'll be home
