i love you, but

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


it’s not the dress you wanted when you dreamed
it’s not new and it has torn seams
but you where it like cinderella’s gown
i swear your feet don’t even touch the ground

look at that face, i can’t look away
your blue eyes are anchored in comfort grey
the questions are gone from your smile
the answer’s at the end of the aisle

i know how long you’ve waited for today
women wish for the games that girls play
i know you too well to doubt what i see
he makes you happy

he’s not the prince charming your mom foretold
but love at first sight is the first to go cold
i close my eyes, though it’s ok to stare
did you choose him just because he was there?

i didn’t chase my dream, chase you away
i let you go thinking you’d come back to stay
every risk needs someone to lose
and baby, hope was so easy to choose

so i’m here to see with my own eyes
i hope something inside me dies
something that avoids despair
i still love you, but he was there

i love you but,

he makes you happy.

cement

sure, he’s simple
a one dimensional man
and all his letters
you understand

you want a guy
solid like stone
like he’s better off here
alone

but i want to be temporary
until you make your mark on me
a fingerprint in wet cement
make me permanent

i don’t have a dream
to follow at all cost
i just dream of you
without you i am lost

none of my stories make sense
you are the missing ending
you want a real man
and i’m just pretending

story of a liar

Posted on by under Girls, Sad

God the father reader of dreams
you alone know what i really need
did you plant in my heart a passion seed
all i want is her

and that probably is my proof
it’s a wish, selfishly
everybody loves this way
they get crushed, then they get ok

but i think somehow i’m special
like my heart can read your mind
i’m afraid if i give it to you
it will get left behind

of course the answer is easy
if it was never meant to be
then one day i’ll be able to see
what you have better planned for me

but that answer doesn’t satisfy
she is all that i desire
got please let this be real
not the story of a liar

without you

Posted on by under Getting Over It, Girls, Love, Sad

i can’t be your friend without wishing for your heart
i can’t hear you laugh without wanting to make you smile
i can’t speak your name without wanting to give you mine
i can’t bring you down without wishing i was driving you wild

i can’t hear your dreams without wanting to sing you to sleep
i can’t see your eyes without wanting to share the view
i can’t know you care without hoping for a chance
i can’t fall in love… without you

maybe that’s why it’s so hard to see you again
asking me if we could be friends
some wounds never mend

i can’t fall in love… without you

losing you

Posted on by under Getting Over It, Girls, Sad


i can hear in your voice a final goodbye
funny, i always thought i’d see it in your eyes
over the phone, in between states
i hear you hesitate

like a baby left outside your door
my heart is too fragile to ignore
i hear you sigh, and i know why
not every free bird flies

maybe we aren’t meant to be
but loving you is all i can do
and it’s worth the risk
it’s worth the risk
of losing you

you do not want to see me broken
so you leave harsh words unspoken
there is no phrase that would push me away
only the word you’re too nice to say

you tell me only time will take care
of the feeling i have finally shared
but you ask for something i cannot do
you want me over you

corner booth

Posted on by under Getting Over It, Girls, Sad

 


so it comes to this between you and me
a corner booth and warm cup of coffee
i look at myself from your empty eyes
a tree that secretly wants to fly
i whisper goodbye to the fleeing birds
you quote these rumors i haven’t heard
turn to the window, i can’t see the stars
just lights flickering over parked cars
your voice is a ringing telephone
right now i wish to be left alone
all i remember is the night you and i
sat on the grass staring up at the sky
the moon peeked through a cloudy wall
the night you and i, we felt so small
we were two needles lost in a haystack
i gave you my heart, now you hand it back
you drop your spoon, it hits the cup
maybe you’re trying to make me look up
but my eyes are turned mournfully low
as i wait for you to go
you offer no reason, not even a lie
you cast no blame that i can deny
searching for words, you look at the ceiling
i wonder if love is only a feeling
what i’ve found will not easily die
you seem content with a tearful goodbye
if i see you again, do i walk the other way?
stand in the corner thinking of something to say?
i’m letting you choose where forever ends
why not let you tell me when we can be friends
now i nod and smile, and say i understand
just so you’ll let go of my hand
i won’t i speak of love anymore because
i’m not sure if it ever was
but watching you walk out to your car
i whisper “farewell” to my falling star

when love was easy

Posted on by under Girls, Sad

the streets shine back the moonlight
rain has ruled the day
night chases sun behind the clouds
sky goes black from grey

singles meet and mingle
they’re running out of time
they need to have somebody
by valentines

i remember the smiling face
broughr bright red hearts to me
i remember saying her name
when love was easy

but those were warmer days
when rain was only prayed for
her name is now unspoken
her smile seen no more

people speak of heroes
like they say “meant to be”
i used to quote destiny
when love was easy

to his shoulder

Posted on by under Girls, Sad

i made you cry
we said goodbye
i feel sick inside
cause i break you down
he fixes your frown
i need some place to hide

i send you to his shoulder
because i love you so
i tell you when you’re wrong
i think that you should know
but i’m sorry…don’t go.

he wipes your tears
he calms your fears
you trust beyond your doubt
that he is your man
but you understand
everything i’m talking about

song for the ignored

Posted on by under Girls, My Favorites, Sad

i squeeze every ounce of joy
out of my day to hand to you
you swallow it and smile
a runner with one less mile

but deeper words lie like seeds
you don’t have time to sort through
i have to keep it shallow
if i’m going to keep you

tell me that i matter
tell me that you care
tell me that you miss me
whenever i’m not there

but i hide my hurt from healers
secret wounds from friendly fire
if they knew they’d say walk away
but you are my heart’s desire

i walk into traps, i know the danger
you love who i am, but not me
i can’t ever ask you to…
so i smuggle my dreams inside memories

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
