	1.	YOU PLAY BALL LIKE A GIRL 04:55	lyrics
	I know I swore I’d never write this Break all my teeth They’re fucking useless They’ve been worn down to the gum Three fucking years was way too long But I knew it when you said The words you spoke that I knew you meant You kept those promises you made When contempt was killing me With every breath I cross my chest I won’t let you fall from this I know I’m just a shell Of what I used to be I was bitter about the sleepless nights When they said they’d be there for me And the seconds that I counted That marked catastrophe My college ruled kept history This is all that I can hope You know it’s a fucked up way I show If I lack the words You know I care In the event my pen can’t take me there Burn all the pages I had filled With sleepless nights Black eyes and chills Their weight, it withers when you say Forever, always, and a day With every breath I cross my chest I swear you’re not alone in this You’re a saint A savior, Samantha For a sinner, a sailor Who lost a ship or two to the seas back then You gave me something to sail to When I didn’t deserve you When I set myself adrift for a captains death You hate your past Well I hate mine too If you go running from regret Then I’ll go running after you I know I’m just a shell of what I used to be I was burying the hatchet While the bridges were burning Or when I was breaking down On that front porch at 23 My college ruled kept history You hate your past, and I hate mine too
