fake it

Posted on by under Girls, My Favorites, Sad


kiss me
like you don’t believe in history
like all the times before meant nothing
next to just one more

i told you
i told you i needed you
tell me i will never fail
and there’s some truth in fairy tales

but i don’t wanna listen to the radio
i don’t want to fight
i don’t want you to go
stay right here, we can make it
and if you don’t love me anymore
fake it.

you make me
you make me dream of daring schemes
i do not
expect to win half the battles i begin

it’s over
except for the leaving and the crying
but i said
i said ‘always’ and i was not lying

but i don’t wanna listen to the radio
i don’t want to fight
i don’t want you to go
stay right here, we can make it
and if you don’t love me anymore
fake it.

oh my dear amanda
they’re sending me to war
and no one can remind me
what we’re fighting for

do you get these letters?
i don’t get your replies
i fear i may not write again
today i might die

i’m not good with a rifle
i’ve never swung a sword
i only hope it is the same
with the men i’m marching toward

we have to take that city
our they say our homes will fall
a man can’t choose the day he dies
only answer when it calls

oh amanda i’ll return
until then i hope you pray
for my life, for my soul
if i don’t survive the day

i must go, the battle’s starting
i can hear the cannon’s sound
but darling, if you get this letter
i mailed it from that town

tonight she is his

Posted on by under Girls, Sad

not tonight,not tonight!
please GOD not tonight!
i’m so scared, i’m so tired
i won’t put up a fight
i will dream of hopelessness

i’m tortured, i’m tortured!
these thoughts, they are true
if only i could call in a rescure
where would that leave me then?

right now, right now
they’re in love, they are wed
right now she’s crawling into his bed
oh save me FROM MY OWN MIND!

these nightmares
i know they are real
i’m so sorry i know
this is not how i should feel
but i’ll never see the promised land.

i’m so sorry, so sorry
i’ll never do it again
that’s a lie, you and i
both know this is not the end
the end of hopelessness

right now, right now
God, i hate imagination
can’t You send a distraction?
because I…

I’ve suffered enough
yes, i know i was wrong
i hoped and i believed
and lost it all
i lost it all tonight

it’s not that i still need her
it’s just that i see
all this time i’ve wasted
so foolishly
and now where can i get away?

i wish her the best
at least better than me
right now i wish
i could get some sleep
without thinking
he’s making her so happy

Be Happy

Posted on by under Getting Over It, Girls, Sad

i won’t be at your wedding
but i’ll be giving you away
he’ll carry you off
this saturday

i wanted to be like him
no i just wished that he was me
i asked you for forever
i’ll settle for a history

you said if i really loved you
i’d let you go be happy

so you’ll walk slowly down the aisle
clutching a bright blue bouquet
and you won’t even notice me gone
the man giving you away

so easy to feel

Posted on by under Girls, Sad, Struggles

i never asked the world to help me off the ground
dust me off, hug me, and carry me around
i sip life through a straw, slow and steady wins the race
i forget that every time i’ve ended up in second place

if you call my name i’ll try to make you smile
i never asked for anyone to stand with rank and file
every now and then i stop to wonder where i am
but i never asked the world to give a damn

i park in distant space, walk too far back home
i don’t complain about the fact i’m most often alone
when i feel the dark clouds coming, hear thunder like a train
doubt is just a lack of hope and truth is falling rain

i never was one to try and change the way you live
i didin’t keep score of what you take and what i give
i only wish that empty wasn’t so easy to feel
i never gave you anything you did not want to steal

i was wrong

Posted on by under Getting Over It, Girls, My Favorites, Sad

i heard you’re getting married
you don’t want me to know
i heard you’re getting married
you don’t want me to go

’cause you think that i still love you
so afraid of what i’ll say
yeah you know that i still love you
so it’s best i stay away

but i won’t make this long
i’ll just say i was wrong
when i said we were meant to be

i’m sorry.

christmas

Posted on by under Girls, Sad

 

 

i haven’t seen snow in texas in ten years
but this winter seems cold enough without you here
i don’t know why you have to get married
during the holidays

’cause i gave you my valentine’s
and my 4th of july
now you’ll spend christmas
with some other guy

i guess i really saw this coming, i know
i always thought you fall for me like
texas snow….eventually
i don’t know why you think that guy
can give what i cannot

’cause i gave you my valentine’s
and my 4th of july
now you’ll spend christmas
with some other guy

the distraction

Posted on by under Girls, My Favorites, Silly Songs

acting embarrassed, you entered the room
but every guy noticed like you wanted him to
so hot air conditioner turned on
you move like wind – quickly gone

a couple of guys were elbowed in the ribs
but they said, “darling, i don’t find her attractive!”
even the trees bend to give you shade
and for once this concrete was glad it got laid

you’re not the kind of girl boys take home
more like the kind of girl they follow

only one to blame

Posted on by under Girls, My Favorites, Sad

she wept upon my shoulder
she whispered in my ear
i saw the oceans swelling
in her tears

she hugged me and she warned me
she’d never feel the same
i took the touch over the truth
i am the only one to blame.

let him

Posted on by under Girls, Hope, My Favorites, Sad

let him run his fingers through your hair
let him sing to you a song
when you’re afraid, you’ll try to run away
let him tell you that you’re wrong

let him kiss you full upon the mouth
let him brush against your breast (take away your breath)
show him hints of heaven
let him seek to find the rest

let him squeeze your thigh and smile
let him call himself your man
and all along you sweetly
let him fall into your hand

let him talk to you till morning
let him love till the end
and when you find a newer flavor
let him be then just a friend

let him take you out on friday night
let him make you so happy
but you’ll realize he’s not the one
let him lead you straight to me
