Cheap Gold Lyrics

Josh Tavares
Drink to the bottom of your Vegas shot glass
You think that you’re forgiven now
Went from careless to completely obsessed

The stars call me a romantic
My ex said I’m pathetic
Now you don’t want me around
What?

I left all my demons at your table
You spun them into marble
I chose words I can’t take back yet
You pretend it never happened
We shifted into people we never thought we’d be
A line crossed, two renegades, lost at sea
Crushed me you’re not into the weak
Said this love was made of cheap gold
Now I remember March when you were upset
Need to test out if you trust me yet
Said it be my fault if you weren’t smiling
So I turned myself away, turned away
Well I’m ‘just paranoid’, said you didn’t have a choice
(Didn’t have a choice)
Had nothing to do so you filled your bed with boys
(Boys, boys, boys)

Keep your dating apps
In your games folder
You like to play around
You need to act older

I left all my demons at your table
You spun them into marble
I chose words I can’t take back yet
You pretend it never happened
We shifted into people we never thought we’d be
A line crossed, two renegades, lost at sea
Crushed me you’re not into the weak
Said this love was made of cheap gold, gold

You whisper sweet nothings, we all hear it
You grab them by the waist and lure ‘em home to bed
You’re so far gone, you’re almost disappearing
You got me all types of sad
Oooo k

Ashes Lyrics

Josh Tavares
I’m always scared to move on because
Every time I try to forget you it’s like my mind doesn’t want to listen
Ya, I might cry. So? I’d rather cry than bow to your every need
You are not my purpose
You’re my burden
You keep burning me down
But bitch, I’ll frame the ashes

Tightrope Lyrics

Josh Tavares
I’ve been fighting this shit, longer than I’ve known ya
I’ve been praying on moments that never seem to happen

Follow your steps, your words
Say I don’t deserve the ones that I love
You got me out of here

Promised a life of ecstasy and roses
Turned me around to sewage water and poison

Don’t know what I’m saying
Don’t know why I needed
To do what I’m doing
On my knees and pleading
Don’t know why the blood is coming out of me, rapidly
I wanna go home but now this feels like a tragedy
Don’t wanna be here in the morning when the lights come on
Mistakes of thе night before waking up to my alarm
You tell mе everything’s fine, but it’s really not
You got me on this tightrope that I can’t walk

(I can’t walk)

Don’t know how I’m losing versus all these feelings
All the things you say and try to give it meaning
Don’t know why the lights went from glowing to flickering
It’s like a blink where everything goes missing

I’m breaking down the pillars you put up to save my shit
Talking to rubble, arguing over whose listening
And here I go, you should know
You should know

I’m an introvert, except when I’m feeling like an expert
Good luck stopping my mouth, words
Come out like sucker punches

Outta nowhere, in the silence, outta mind
Choose your poison, choose your life, I’ll choose mine
Mixed opinions, about my brain, you’re outta time, you’re outta time

Don’t wanna be here in the morning when the lights come on
Mistakes of the night before waking up to my alarm
You tell me everything’s fine, but it’s really not
I’m hanging off this tightrope that I can’t walk

Con Man Lyrics

Josh Tavares
I’ve been staring at my shoes
For an hour from across the room
Made a list in my head
Why I should stay in bed, far away from you

My mind got the best of me
On New Years eve
I let go of everything
Wasn’t ready
Sweaty palms and crumbling plans
Imposter thoughts in lucid hands
Like I was tricked by a con man
I remember your face
But are you still the same as I left you
All these fears came out at me
I left back in twenty seventeen
Dulled the light in us, I’m sorry

Cuz every timе that I get sad
I get so scared I’ll fall into my past
Again, again, again

My mind got thе best of me
On New Years eve
I let go of everything
Wasn’t ready
Sweaty palms and crumbling plans
Imposter thoughts in lucid hands
Like I was tricked by a con man

Ohhhhhh, ohhhhh, ohhhh

I think it’s hard to love me sometimes
Friends take days to answer texts
I have dreams every night
But they don’t leave when I open my eyes
