Sad tears and twisted heart Turn on the news and fall apart Families broken and so much death This is not what I expect And what happened to the fairytale ending Was that a lie or were we all pretending Anxious highs and tense encounters You watch your back at every counter Open hearts so vulnerable And yet there's always a possible toll Communication seems so far We don't take the time and are too far apart And what happened to the fairytale ending Was that a lie or were we all pretending Anxious highs and tense encounters You watch your back at every counter I'll still try and believe there's time Even though we can't rewind The destruction is done and here we are We don't have to be that far apart And what happened to the fairytale ending Was that a lie or were we all pretending Anxious highs and tense encounters You watch your back at every counter

With Anxious Hearts
There was a time when I didn't know you were mine I walked a fine line in the other direction And with one misstep of imperfection I walked right into your arms not guessing how the rest went And now that I know it was a hard road to go I'd still make that choice and I'd want you to know I feel like you helped me be the best version of me I know the boulders that stood in our way I love you anyway Hours turned to years and we were always faced with a different conflict and high stakes We had to make choices We had to grow up fast We didn't have time to ponder the present We just had to act And now that I know it was a hard road to go I'd still make that choice and I'd want you to know I feel like you helped me be the best version of me I know the boulders that stood in our way I love you anyway Things didn't slow down until memories were lost The foundation was cracked and we stood on a pillar We had to start over but there was no beaten path We looked at each other and stepped into the fog And now that I know if was a hard road to go I'd still make that choice and I'd want you to know I feel like you helped me be the best version of me I know the boulders that stood in our way I love you anyway

Love You Anyway
I thought I lost my inspiration but then I picked up a pen Solid ink, it wouldn't stop writing, telling my story all over again And my feelings aren't in my expressions, solid stone and hard to read But they come out in several dimensions, most times a cryptic feed And I know you think you know me I don't want to hurt you and show you you're wrong You've never really took the time to get to know me You see the surface but the depth is lost I do my best not to hurt feelings but even the best doesn't always work You can try to be kind and honest but sometimes perception can make you a **** And there's plenty that manipulate your feelings if they see a hole in your vulnerability So it's become necessary not to be as open You think you see my entirety but it's locked up inside of me And I know you think you know me I don't want to hurt you and show you you're wrong You've never really took the time to get to know me You see the surface but the depth is lost I wish people would drop the facades and schemes And really be the people you see but society has taught us we have to model something we aren't And all compassion can be lost as can sympathy And I know you think you know me I don't want to hurt you and show you you're wrong You've never really took the time to get to know me You see the surface but the depth is lost
