lyrics

What's on your tongue that I can't taste?
Marred my senses, is that still your face?
Deceit! Deceit! I see it through your teeth
Close your mouth babe, it's starting to leak

Remember the highs, the endless goodbyes, when gym coincided,
the nights in your basement
Dots almost close by, your shows became mine
If you smiled or cried, please save me from aching

Breathe,
Sorry but how could this be
We spent so much time perfecting you and me
Once your priority
Made plans for the future but didn't make 3

Your pedestal was made from my devotion, wanna tear it down?
You better know where you're going
Gone are morning texts, "how was your day", who's gonna ask?
Complain to someone else, don't underestimate one such as myself

I wrote one thousand things to see you smile
The best gift you'll receive
My presentation of all you meant to me
(And you'll still leave)
One thousand things to see you shine, now my efforts in vain
Your choice to refrain
When did you forsake

Slipped up, the long road has brought chaos to our names
Enough, my worn heart will bring chaos to your name

You wanna mend?
It seems you'd just rather pretend
Til I find out as you break my mind down
Refuting all my "baseless" call outs
Apologies for insecurities
Absence of transparency reveals a disband
No these aren't colossal demands
An attempt at making the innocent who claimed to speak the truth
Own up to inequivalence rather than make an excuse
Cause at this point we both know I mean less than you
(Don't attempt to object just show me the proof)

I wrote one thousand things to see you smile
To think that you would leave me

1. How you made me the cutest list of 100 things you loved about me last year!
48. Whenever you point out that you can feel my heartbeat!
139. That we are still dating despite me being in college and stuff
200. The first time you said you wanted to be with me forever.
209. How we are both so gosh darn indecisive!
320. That we take forever to say good-bye! Probably my fault!
488. That thanks to you I can say I had a perfect year
497.That you think yogurt is icky!
598.That you feel safe in my arms
599.That you said you are never breaking up with me !
635.That you deal with me being sensitive and stuff
698.How I know it’s hard for me to be away and I know you get sad about it,
but I love that you are holding in there as best as you can
833.That you’re always tired. It is cute!
That just means you can fall asleep in my arms all the time when we have the chance
854.That I could see the happiness resonating from you even
if you were crying when we hugged that night!
902.That I can’t imagine my life without you now, since you made everything worth it

I always have something to look forward to thanks to you
I wrote one thousand things to keep you safe in my arms like you wanted
Why did you forsake

976 was a lie about how I'd be okay if we broke up
984. That you put up with my defensiveness.
As you have noticed, it is quite the character flaw and I apologize.
991. That the future used to scare me and now I can’t wait to see where it will take the both of us
997. That if for some reason the whole entire world decided to turn against me,
I know you would definitely be the person I could turn to
1000. That there is no doubt in my mind that I want to spend the rest of my life with you.
