Feeling very unmotivated to do anything lately. BUT Louis Tomlinson tickets aren't sold out yet...so maybe I'll buy ga tickets, 'cause yk...it's Louis Tomlinson. Anyways, here's one I wrote about ending on good terms, but only because I'm not an ass. He was an ass though. Enjoy !

Can't you hear the way I'm calling
Way I'm falling
Way I'm asking you to stop
Trying to save this
Trying to stop time
Trying to quiet with a kiss
Running scared
To leave a trace of something that you shouldn't miss

You don't owe me anything my dear
That much, I should make clear
No apologies or hearts left all too fragile
For taking on the road
that you never asked to travel but

After holding on to nothing
After falling to your knees
I said bye to someone that was already gone
And you said you're sorry but then quickly moved on

We were a house of cards
And you left an open door
Pulling back my waves
That never reached your shore
Like we're some sad song
Off of Folklore

So don't tell me that you miss me
Don't reach out across the sea

Stop the drunk calling
I'll stop stonewalling
And give you the closure you want
In hopes that the memory won't linger to haunt
'Cause

After holding on to nothing
After falling to your knees
I said goodbye to something that was already gone
And you said you're sorry but quickly moved on

So I'll go and
Find something better, something secure
Like a comfortable sweater
Playing your cards close to your chest
I won't hold a grudge
Truly wish you the best but

After holding on to nothing
After falling to my knees
I gave everything I ever had
But it wasn't enough
To stop the going bad

A house of cards

You're the door wide open
You're the blowing breeze
You're the words unspoken
The pain that no one sees
I lost the game
'Cause you played your ace

House of cards

I lost the game, I lost the game, I lost the game, stupid game
