Fairy Tales
The Only One
when you needed me
i fell asleep
you said ‘tell everyone’
but you’re a secret i keep
how can they see you
through everything i do?
how can it be true
that you’re good news?
’cause i never change
still spinning around
looking for answers i have
already found
and i’ve tried work, women, and whisky
they all left me thirsty
but even i can’t deny
you’re the only that satisfies me
when i’m broken
you’re the healing i need
i don’t know why sometimes i
just let it bleed
it’s not cool to say ‘sin’
and i so want to fit in
i trade my mask for skin
i’m tired of pretending
’cause i never change
still spinning around
looking for answers i have
already found
and i’ve tried work, women, and whisky
they all left me thirsty
but even i realize
you’re the only that satisfies me
It’s Over. We’re Through.
I’ve had enough to drink over you.
It doesn’t matter. It’s over. We’re through.
Maybe one day we’ll be in the same room.
Without reading into everything we do.
You’ll tell your friends how I did you wrong.
I’ll get my revenge with guitar and a song.
We’ll wonder how we ever got along.
Love and hate both feel so strong.
But I don’t want to be your enemy.
And you don’t want to be friends.
And nobody thinks we should try again.
I’m invited to parties and I ask if you’re there
My friends they all tell me that I shouldn’t care
You can’t keep me from going out anywhere.
I can’t stand to see you. The truth is, I’m scared.
I’m scared of a past I’ve been drinking away
I’m scared if I see you of what I might say
I’m scared you will leave. I’m scared you will stay
I’m scared that I’ll tell you all this one day.
But I don’t want to be your enemy.
And you don’t want to be friends.
Sometimes I get drunk and think about trying again
what i believe
this is what i believe.
i believe something went terribly wrong.
i believe in the brokenness of every one.
i believe in the existence of a cure.
i believe there is a God.
i believe there is a reason for everything.
i believe this life is full of pain.
i believe this life is not the only.
i believe the words of Christ.
i believe He took the bullet for me.
i believe i don’t always believe this.
i believe that is my deepest shame.
i believe faith does not equal happiness.
i believe faith is a source of comfort.
i believe i have a reason for joy
i believe i have a reason for tears.
i believe i don’t know much.
i believe God wants to be chosen
i believe He doesn’t make us slaves
i believe mercy sounds like silence.
i believe grace is blind to deeds.
i believe that is my only hope.
echo
one decision ends my life
made one thousand times
quick to choose and to regret
the chance was ever mine
the wrong words seem to echo
though only after they’ve been said
i cannot live it better
only over in my head
end too soon
i’ll be honest with you
i’m only capable of lies
i know my place and play the role
of a prince in a frog disguise
see this story ends too soon
everything fades to black
before the magic, before the kiss
before i win her back
shoulder rose
she stumbled out in front of your car
arms up wiping blood from her nose
you wouldn’t have recognized her
if it wasn’t for her shoulder rose
a little faded on older skin
you held her hand as she winced
two months later she slapped your face
and you haven’t seen her since
for a while she was a ghost
in the night, you’d think you see
you hoped for her everytime
there was a message on your machine
and through your windshield you can hear
her shouting, “watch where you’re going!”
oh the questions you could ask
you’re mostly afraid of knowing
pull the key out and open the door
you used to pray you’d find her
touch the rose that she once swore
would serve as a reminder
when it dies
there is a sound love makes when it dies
most people mistake it for a sigh
and by the time they realize
it’s all over but goodbye
and she doesn’t want to hurt him
because he looks for her to heal
she’s terrified about forever
but more afraid of how he’ll feel
when kindness could not stand for love
she confessed one night what he had known
to ease her guilt he said “go or stay,”
“either way i am alone”
the other side of everything
it’s ending! it’s ending!
all colors are blending
i can’t say i want to die
but i’d love to close my eyes
and open them a world away
some dark night to this long day
and the end has finally come
to go back where i came from
like some place i’ve never been
i’m afraid, so afraid of the end
i’ve only heard rumors and fantasies
the time has come for me to see
so call it another beginning
to the other side of everything
