Growing Pains

He said that he's in a band, But so am I, so it's not as impressive as he thinks it is. And then he smiles and takes my hand, It's no surprise, he's as smooth as the devil and he knows it. You're so hateful, you're so cruel. You're so fucking insecure. I'm no angel, I'm no fool for even entertaining you. Why can't you say it to my face? I'm the best mistake you ever made. He lit a match and fanned the flames, But in my mind, I believe that his love is a fire escape. He turned the lock and tossed the key, To pass the time I pretend he's a prince here to rescue me. You're so hateful, you're so cruel. You're so fucking insecure. I'm no angel, I'm no fool for even entertaining you. Why can't you say it to my face? I'm the best mistake you ever made. You're so hateful, you're so cruel. You're so fucking insecure. I'm no angel, I'm no fool for even wanting you. Why can't you say it to my face? No! You're so hateful, you're so cruel. You're so fucking insecure. I'm no angel, I'm no fool for even entertaining you. Why can't you say it to my face? I'm the best mistake you ever made. No one hurts me like I hurt myself, But you see love as something someone sells. No one hates me like I hate myself, But the words cut deeper when it's someone else.

Thought I would give myself some time and try to find some closure So read between the lines and keep your composure I know that's something you haven't really gotten the hang of You were too close for comfort and I'm sick of being smothered so I bid you farewell Sincerely hoping you'll recover Sometimes you need to hit rock bottom to find out what you're made of What is it that you're afraid of? Who knew that this would be the last time I would ever see you again I can't believe all these years I really called you my friend You fooled me one too many times, but I'm the fool for letting you in Where do I even begin? You said you'd have my back but you never did You haven't changed a bit from back when we were kids It took me so long to see, you will always be selfish But I don't think you can help it Was there something you needed to say? You're too much of a coward to say it to my face Go ahead and tell them your side But this time we know who's fake Thought I would give myself some time, and try to find some closure I guess this is goodbye, this time it's really over I hope you come to terms with everyone you hurt All the bridges that you burned have left you with nowhere to turn I thought I told you that you don't have to fight anymore I thought you changed but you're just the same as before When you find yourself cold and alone on the floor Will you see all the signs that you choose to ignore?

Hard to Find 04:11
When I was younger I would sit alone And wonder what my life was worth, Was living something I deserved? Well now I'm stronger, And I'm learning how to conquer What's inside my head, But every now and then: It feels like nothing ever works for me. I won't amount to anything. I miss my friends, And they don't miss me at all. But I can hardly blame them. Cause I've been so hard to find these days, I got lost but now I found my place. I really thought that my life was over, And I couldn't get much lower. But I took some time and got some rest, And my bleeding heart is on my chest. This weight is off my shoulders, I'm not there but I'm getting closer. It's okay if you don't want to talk, I know I let you down. I'm gonna make it up to you somehow. Cause I've been so hard to find these days, I got lost but now I found my place. I really thought that my life was over, And I couldn't get much lower. But I took some time and got some rest, And my bleeding heart is on my chest. This weight is off my shoulders, I'm not there but I'm getting closer. I was scared and jaded, Growing up in stages, Falling on the pavement, But I know I'll make it. I was scared and jaded, Growing up in stages, Running out of patience, But I know I'll make it out. I'll make it out! I was scared and jaded, Growing up in stages, Falling on the pavement, But I know I'll make it. I was scared and jaded, Growing up in stages, Running out of patience, But I know I'll make it.

about

These songs are a product of reflection in isolation during 2020, and were all fully realized in 2021. They are three songs that are about different relationships: between friends, partners, and oneself. We hope you enjoy them and are able to feel the emotions and words behind each lyric and within each song. We hope that perhaps you feel a connection to these songs, just as we each connect to these songs.

This release marks a new beginning for Cut Your Losses.
