hurt

Tears spring to her eyes
As she counts the many lies
But doesn’t dare open her mouth
Never voices a single doubt
No, she never says a word
She’s addicted to the hurt
She feels a tear leave her eye
Curls up, and tries to hide
She wishes she could runaway
Happiness outweighed by pain
She’s pleased one too many guys
They’ve left her cold with broken lines
Told her things that made her smile
Then left her in denial
Her mistakes have become proof
That she’s hiding from the truth
Her heart twists and somersaults
She tries to believe it’s not her fault
But her walls are crashing down
And no ones to be found
She feels so fucking hollow
A fake smile she’s borrowed
From a better past
How long will this last
She hurts inside
She isn’t safe in her own mind
She crawls back into her bed
Escaping from her head
She’s better off dead
Everyone’s better off with her dead

fail

I’ve failed so many times
But Lord knows that I’m trying
Something keeps me coming back for more
The hope I hold is thinning
You grin, because you are winning
The devil in me evens out the score

If I could let go of my pride
I’d lock myself up and I’d hide
Envisioning what never could begin
Mystery surrounds you
Victim, I play fool
But I knew this would happen again

and you

I wanna be somebodys everything
Not anybodys something
A mess ive made creates a space
Between where my memories fade
And you

Stars fall from the sky
Into your sleepy green eyes
Time makes its way
Between where my memories fade
And you

Peripatetic, I wander about
Thinking of how
You drive me insane
Between where my memories fade
And you

we would get it right


If it was me and you, forever, standing side by side
If it was me and you, instead of her, whispering at night
If it was me and you, me and you, we would get it right

we could forgive our past, knowing this would last
we could move foward together, and never look back

If it was me and you, finally, after all this time
If it was me and you, together, and she was out of sight
If it was me and you, me and you, we would get it right

we could forgive mistakes, overlook past ways
we could move foward, with better days

If it was me and you, exclusive, things would be just fine
If it was me and you, against the world, we could make the fight
If it was me and you, me and you, we would get it right
