be who i am

Posted on by under Girls, Sad, Struggles


i think of you when i’m lonely
when i have a story to tell
i could always get a laugh from you
like water from a well

wrap my words around you
like a blanket keep you warm
hold my love over your head
like shelter from the storm

but i need you…to hold my hand
and say it’s ok…if i don’t understand
i need you to whisper “i love you”
i need you be….who i’ve been for you

the lover and the loser
both can be a fool
with a shiny prize
we overlook the rules

i never thought it was game
until you did not want to play
i never knew till know
i can’t get back what i gave 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

guess i’ll let you go

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


i’m keeping a straight face
i’m playing it cool
but you turn my strength
into the hope of a fool

how could you call me
with nothing to say
but i’m not admitting
you made my day

how are ya doing?
we can’t talk long
i’m glad you called
no, nothing wrong
i can’t let you know….
so i guess i’ll let you go

risk means reward, right?
when why do i lose?
i don’t sit on the shelf
waiting for you to choose

if i show you my heart
you’ll leave me alone
so i’m keeping these secrets
on my telephone

calling to hear your voice

Posted on by under friends, Girls, Sad


i want to cry on your shoulder
and tell you about my day
i want you to hold me
and say “everything’s ok!”

but i can’t do that anymore
in 5 minutes over phonelines
these days i only get
time enough to say goodbye

and i don’t have anything new for you
i’m just calling to hear your voice
you’re sunshine to these shadows
and i have no choice but to miss you

the days grow shorter, the skies grow grey
the sun never seemed to so far away
and i heard rumors that you were crying
but if i asked, you wouldn’t say

i’d love for you to bring me down
and tell me why you cry
let me try to change your mind
i want to dry your eyes

how hard

Posted on by under Girls, Sad


the leaves are losing color
soon they’ll cover lawns
but without you, it feels like
more than a season is gone

you write me letters
to keep me closer than a memory
i keep them in a notebook
labeled “Ancient History”

i guess i’ve kept my secret
i hope i will forget
i hope you never know
how hard it is to let you go

the sky was clear this morning
no clouds were bringing rain
but everything must change
now i hear the roar of planes

and i’d fly out to see you
if i had anything to say
but i ….i can wait
until your wedding day

missed in me

Posted on by under Girls, Sad


if i could look into your eyes
maybe it would all be clear
but if i saw through your disguise
you still wouldn’t stay here

you have to leave to chase your dreams
i have to stay and watch mine go
you can’t afford to give me hope
i can’t let you know…

i always hoped you cared for me
but i loved how you were so carefree
i’m hopelessly hopeful that someday you’ll see
everything you missed in me

what thought can i scribble down
to send you in this postcard
a picture of what you left behind
and me pretending life isn’t hard

i guess i’m no good at secrets
still don’t know what to say
i think of you, i pray for you
i hope you are ok

cope with you

Posted on by under Girls, Hope, Sad

 


i hope you’re happy
no, really, i do
i’ll try pretending
that i don’t miss you

they call me a fool
and i can’t argue
they say i’m hopeless
i guess that’s true

there are lessons i refuse to learn
there are bridges i refuse to burn
as long as there is hope
i will cope with you

i paid for your flight
to see your boyfriend
i still don’t know why
but i’d do it again

you keep me up late
just to ask my advice
i’d do it for you
but you just think i’m nice

 

over my shoulder

Posted on by under friends, Girls, Sad


you’re crying your tears now
wounded from what i’ve done
i swear it’s over
it’s just begun

i’m feeling real guilty
i swear i’m not to blame
see i’m different
i am JUST THE SAME

over my shoulder is no way to apologize
over my shoulder is no way to apologize

can you trust me when
i won’t look in your eyes

i’ve wept in the darkness
but the sun was just outside
i’ve cursed a cloudy sky
i’ve promised, i’ve lied

i know where i’m headed
i know that i should turn
the beautiful bright horizon
is all my bridges burned

just friends

Posted on by under Girls, Sad


i’m sorry
i just had to tell you that i loved you
you had your suspicions
and i proved them true

you sat me down
with tears in your eyes
you sat me down
made me realize

i’m not the one for you
you said…

can’t we just be friends?

i thought i
gave you what you asked for
we were friends
and nothing more

but i guess that
was still too much
now you say
let’s just keep in touch

new meaning to old words that broke my heart
i say…

can’t we just be friends?

what God intends

Posted on by under Girls, God, Sad

lifting up prayers like torches
to light this shadowed land
a cry for something solid
some simple i can understand

i am looking for some treasure
some weakness to defend
i am looking for her love
but it’s not what God intends

i am looking for a goddess
to bow and kiss her hand
i lift up prayers for things
God does not have planned

a flame up to this dry hope
i seer these words in my mind
that not every priceless treasure
is meant for me to find

i’m knocking at a door
i think opens up on home
a mirage in desert sand
it’s my reason to roam

but i’m crying for attention
her care to keep me warm
i crawl into her life
shelter from the storm

she is what i can’t pray for
she is the treasure to defend
she is the rainbow in my sky
she is not what God intends
