meant the world

Posted on by under Getting Over It, Girls, Sad


so you ascended endless stairs
promises that proved out lies
you climbed higher than having to care
i couldn’t follow (believe me i tried)
i stumbled up to see your face
feeling unfit to leave the ground
your apathy i labelled grace
your words tore my wisdom down

you meant the world to me
but now the opposites true
everything i see
tells a tale of you

like a balloon is chased by children
you chose the freedom of the wind
never one for strong opinions
i cannot catch you on a pin
pull me by a heart-tied string
promise me that you will stay
burdened with the gifts i bring
you float far enough away

All Over Me

Posted on by under Getting Over It, Sad

she doesn’t think about me anymore
there ain’t gonna be a phonecall
no letter to see what i’m up to today
no postcard she bought at the mall

i like to think it’s still an issue
that she wants to go back again
but it’s only a dream that we could be
anything, even just friends

she’s all over me
i can’t get her out of my mind
she’s all over me
i’ve been left behind
she’s all over me
she’s over me

she’s a rainy day hobby i try to fix
and work it out 1000 different ways
i am so close to find out
what i could have done to make her stay

everything holds her reflection
i just want to be left alone
but i gave my heart to her
so i guess i can’t hold my own

bumblebee

i will not call you anymore (because it’s dangerous)
i will not climb a mountain just to try to fly
i promise i won’t look for you to love me
and i will not hate to hear goodbye

if you need me i am here for you (as always)
but if you need well then things are not the same
if you call me, i know the reason is selfish
if you play, i lose the game

we have been the best of friends and enemies
we have been angry and content
we have been nothing but a fantasy
we’ve been words that were never meant

you can go on living like a bumblebee
you can float from flower to flower and sting me
you can test the choices and find me true
you can write off my advice as jealousy

i’m weak to your memory (i can’t hide from it)
i’m hopeless when i try to be just friends
i’m hanging by a thread, share your life with me
i’m not willing to go through this again
i’m not willing to go through this again
i’m not willing to go through this….

writhing

Posted on by under Getting Over It, Girls

find my hope weak and writhing
begging for a drink
wounded in the battle
‘tween what i feel and what i think
break it, kill it, leave it for dead
it’s too far gone to fantasy
i wish for against reality
i hope for what will never be
i’ve tried to heal and save it
but the wounds have passed straight through
i’m defenseless to the memory
of loving you

thousand times

Posted on by under Getting Over It, Girls

whispers of reminders
must convince me that you’re gone
you’re there when i sleep
but escape before the dawn

i cling to the dreams
as they are quick to fade
your memories are shadows
as i step out of the shade

how much time will it take to heal
and fix this way i’m forced to feel
i feel you near, but you’ve gone away
a thousand times a day

i pray for distraction
but refuse to forget
i’m anchored by my hope
i’m not ready yet

to see the truth i hide from
surrender to what i’ve denied
there must be a reason for
all the tears i’ve cried

have a nice life

Posted on by under Getting Over It, Girls

it’s over, it’s closure
it drifts out to sea
i’m breathing, i’m better
i’m finally i’m free

from crumpled pieces of paper
i could never send
nothing ever said what i wanted to
but i found my heart and changed my mind
i hope i’ve seen the last of you

don’t live in the past
it was never meant to last
just “have a nice life”

december was magic
but magic is a lie
we both found the truth
one sad july

you kept breaking my heart
and i’d come back for more
but i’ve opened my eyes and
i’m ready to ignore

i won’t live in the past
it was never meant to last
i’ll “have a nice life”

love makes you

Posted on by under friends, Getting Over It


i’m not close to seeing things your way
i rethink, it all comes out the same
i am the victim, and you are to blame

ok i may have bet too much
on hoping that you’d come around
you had the power to heal, you cut me down

but you can’t walk away
from everything you did not say
you cannot make today
out of yesterday

i hope you get to see the world
i pray that part of it breaks you
cause you need to know
it’s only love that makes you

so i guess i’m a tied loose end
i always wanted to be your friend
now it’s ugly, shoved in a closet
and you’re trying to forget

hopelessly fallen

Posted on by under Getting Over It, Girls

hopelessly fallen so deep in her eyes
i drop in my quarters, she isn’t the prize
she is a queen and i am the joker
muttering curses to the guy who broke her

i’m expensive dessert, she’s already full
she’s a new sweater, i’m the thread you pull
she’s beautiful so bittersweet
admittedly out of my reach

hopelessly fallen but i still get advice
they throw dirty looks not handfuls of rice
pick myself out of this pit of fantasy
where i lie and wait for her to choose me

i know they are right, i know i should go
to the calm of the cliff and watch the river flow
and see that the current will take her away
realize that heaven must shrug when i pray

bus stop

Posted on by under Getting Over It, Girls, Sad

 

we can hurt so bad so fast
but it takes so long to heal
we can stay away from the pain
but then it gets so hard to feel

’cause that’s just what living is
it’s learning from our mistakes
it’s swearing you are the one
then hearing the snap of a heartbreak

have i waited 30 days just for a phonecall?
cause you just called to say hi

i’m all packed
and waiting at the bus stop
but you were just driving by

see i’m not better or over you
i’m still mad that you’re oblivious
so please just don’t call me back
until you are over us

like the moon outside the window
you’re like a glow in my mind
the dull transparent light
that reminds me of you
but i’m through…

my place in your day

Posted on by under Getting Over It, Girls, Sad

i pinned my heart one night to a wall
woke up in time to hear it fall
surprised that it happened again so quick
i beat that disease, but now i’m sick

and i held my ground like an alamo
defending the lie that i could let you go
but the days come rushing in around me
i’m reminded of what faded silently

there is no use in apologies
for you weren’t wounded, only me
and i am the one that fixes you
now i’m bleeding, what can i do?

but wrap up memories like a tourniquet
and be the friend you will never forget
and that is enough for me to survive
my place in your day, it keeps me alive
