I traced my orbit around the Earth, But he turned to something bright and far, and I believed that’s what I should want at first, another sun, another star. But something quiet stayed so close, too soft for me to even see, I searched for light that wasn’t mine, while you were right there next to me.

Two Moons
I waited for you by a half-closed door, Believed our hearts could learn to love once more. But silence grew where words once lay, And I still hoped you’d find your way. You came again but not alone, I saw the truth I should have known. Doors once closed should stay that way, Not every love deserves to stay When you return, like you always do The doors will close, you won’t get through

The locked door
Water under the bridge, they said, as if it was left behind, but I’m still beneath it, sinking instead, patiently waiting for a hand to find. To them it was nothing, a truth they withdrew but that bridge was my world, and it fell with you.

Water under the bridge
I will be your waiter today, would you like something to drink? In fact, you don't even need to pay, I'll give you more than you can think. All you have to do is be pleased, and I'll feel the work is done. My own hunger stays uneased, yet still I serve one by one.

A People-Pleaser's Table
I pushed you away when you got too near, told you to leave, though I wished you’d stay here. You asked if I’m fine I swore I was okay, but my silence begged you not to walk away. I made a scene of my sadness and pain, lit the match, left you holding the flame. Said you meant nothing, just to confuse when truthfully, you were everything that I was scared to lose. I ruined the good so I wouldn’t feel small, dragged you down just to soften my fall. You didn’t deserve what I turned out to be I guess they were right when they said, misery loves company.

Misery loves company
You left him shattered, clean cut, no mess. And still, he doesn’t love you any less. You’re still present but yet long gone. A whisper, a shadow, a half-faded song. He walks through your memory, lost in the past, While I hold a love that was never built to last. You’re not here, but you linger soft and cruel, And I loved a man obeying a phantom’s rule.

A phantom’s rule
It feels like I'm stuck in a curse, Falling too hard, and always falling first. Maybe it’s the way I love, Maybe love isn’t meant for me, But is it so wrong to want it, to want to be seen? Let this curse be undone, let there be a turn, Shift the stars, change the script, Let the love I give finally return. For once, let it be me who’s found, The one who's chosen, the one unbound.

Let it be me
I see you with your friends, you blend in so well. Hating you is my guard, loving you is a spell. These feelings won’t end, I can’t set them free, I climbed so high, why did I fall so deep?

Unwanted Spell
Why can’t I escape you? You’re always close, it seems, A shadow in the stillness, A whisper in my dreams. I try to leave, to heal, But you’re there in the quiet, A piece of me I lost, A weight I can’t deny it.

Chasing Silence
Why can't I forget you, Why are you always near. Every time I’m moving on, you suddenly appear. Like a shadow in the night, you follow close behind, A reminder of what’s lost, a piece I can't unwind.
