thousand times

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

missed in me


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

if you hurt me again

i whispered goodbye when you went away
between us there was nothing to say
now you’re back with all your lessons learned
to rebuild bridges burned

your smile is gone, your laugh is weak
it seems titanic has sprung a leak
everyone that used to carry you through
now they don’t believe you

but i can’t be your friend
if you’ll hurt me again

you’re picking up pieces of your plans
salvage your hope, do what you can
you have your stories, but you don’t want to tell
rumor has it you’re not well

we’re cold hearted monsters to just sit by
while you close your eyes and cry
but i’ve wiped away those tears before
i don’t want to do it anymore

cope with you

 


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

 

bittersweet

 


bittersweet is the day
sunshine with a shadow
this is time for a smile
but we can’t stop for sorrow

and i have no words to rise above
the feelings, my love
i dont know what to say
so won’t you pray
i’m not ok

laughter covers the silence
we find excuses to talk away
i’m left here with my bags packed
and the urge to stay

over my shoulder


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

obligated

we’ve reached the end of our conversation
any more words would be wasted on you
because if i say anything
you won’t believe it’s true

i’m tired of not being trusted
don’t be afraid of me
i’m asking you to run away from somewhere
you have no reason to be

anything i say
you throw away
as obligated

i think you’re beautiful, yes, yes i do
i’m sorry i don’t make you feel that way
but if you believe i would lie to you
i’ve got nothing more to say

i love you, you’ll just have to deal with that
take it or leave it, it will not die
but the only thing you seem to believe
is when i say goodbye

have a nice life

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”

used to missing you

i don’t know whether to laugh or cry
i love your voice, but miss your eyes
are these feelings i should hide from you?
i have no one else i can tell them to

yes, it’s weird not having you here
but friendships never disappear
don’t feel bad, please don’t cry
this is my side of saying goodbye

if i did not know you so well
i could lie and say i’m fine
but you can tell
i’m not used to missing you

you’re so happy, you should be
love has found you finally
for your man, i understand
why you walk away

i don’t know if it’s right to say
but it feels like i’m giving you away
so do not ever regret
and do not ever forget

love makes you


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
