Old Stories Lyrics by Alta View

Out of Place

2017

[Verse 1]
Why do I do this?
Pretending I still care
Knowing there's so much I'd rather do
Why did I come here?
'Cause it's the only way I'll talk to you
Maybe you're wasted
Saying I changed and
How everyone's forgotten too
Is that how you'll frame me?
Another picture in a crowded room

[Chorus]
Call it off, you never did
A backbone when you were patient
I'm lost, all over this
Can't help it, I can't take it
And I don't wanna be missed
Don't wanna be missed no more
Don't wanna be missed
'Cause I can't takе it all

[Verse 2]
Feel like I'm tossing
Rocks at your window
I can see a shadow in the room
You turn the lights low
So I know you'rе hiding like you always do
You should be something
Something to someone
Instead of being all alone
So good to know that
When I come back home
I won't be missed by you

[Chorus]
Call it off, you never did
A backbone when you were patient
I'm lost, all over this
Can't help it, I can't take it
And I don't wanna be missed
Don't wanna be missed no more
Don't wanna be missed
'Cause I can't take it all

[Bridge]
You said don't go
I think you'll be gone forever
And don't you dare think that I'll miss you
Don't say you care
'Cause the way you left just left me a mess
Yeah, the way you left just left me a mess

[Chorus]
Call it off, you never did
A backbone when you were patient
I'm lost, all over this
Can't help it, I can't take it
And I don't wanna be missed
Don't wanna be missed no more
Don't wanna be missed
'Cause I can't take it all

[Outro]
(The way you left just left me a mess)
'Cause I can't take it all
(The way you left just left me a mess)
Don't wanna be missed no more, more
Don't wanna be missed no more
