Tell me how you keep me hanging on your words Everything you say makes me hooked on you You’re too intense and crazy, laughing and amazing There’s so much else I don’t have the time to say And I wish I could count the hours we have left to spend But your voice keeps getting louder, I can’t get a word in Just listen, listen to what I have to say And maybe together we can figure out a way And everything is happening way, way fast It's all piling up, and I can't get past What you claim is love, I see as lost Cause all that you want is something I'm not I'm just a filler for the boredom in your life It's now in the open, I can see clear Don't know what I was thinking, thinking you'd care I wish I could take back all that I have said Turn back the clock, get you out of my head These scars are hidden in places even you can't see But everyday I'm alive, they still haunt me Why do this when you can see I have done nothing wrong? I knew I suspected what you've proven to me as true But why do I still feel as if I’ve been betrayed by you? I am just a girl and you are just a boy And I had hoped when you broke my heart, you’d tell me why And everything is happening way, way fast It's all piling up, and I can't get past What you claim is love, I see as lost Cause all that you want is something I'm not I'm just a filler for the boredom in your life It's now in the open, I can see clear Don't know what I was thinking, thinking you'd care You told me that you'd never lie That you hated to break my heart But how can I believe when all the evil I've seen Points me back to you You told me that you'd never hurt me That you'd never make me cry Is that why when you do you close your eyes?

Close Your Eyes

why
Their love was a rose- beautiful, but ****** to die His thorns brought diamond clear tears to her eyes, and Knowing, knowing he was always like a monochrome rainbow- nonexistent Unreal, this boy she loved, she cried for her mistakes Her happiness stolen by a thief, brought nothing but grief To her he meant the world, but her heart shattered And when he left her, although she cursed his name Never would anything separate them again, not even his greed And the fear she'd forever be dead inside reigned, but Nothing else could compare to their love in her mind

Their Love
I live in the dark You tell me it’s better this way Don’t have any dreams, they’ll only get crushed I am scared of the outside world The only reason why Because you tell me to fear it I’m like a puppet on a string You’re in control of me You tell me to move, I move You tell me to sing, I sing Because I have nothing to lose But I want to cut these ties that bind us But I don’t know how to live without you I will spread my wings and fly Because I will survive You tell me don’t go It’s dangerous out there alone I don’t know how to be by myself I’ll only get hurt if I leave Won’t let you lie to me I will not let these chains **** me I’m like a puppet on a string You’re in control of me You tell me to move, I move You tell me to sing, I sing Because I have nothing to lose But I want to cut these ties that bind us But I don’t know how to live without you I will spread my wings and fly Because I will survive Wish that I could undo All those bad choices All of those days spent with you Wishing that I could be free But not letting myself be happy For fear of what would happen to you But now I see, you manipulate me Into believing I’m at fault That won’ t happen anymore I was like a puppet on a string You were in control of me You told me to move, I moved You told me to sing, I sang Because I had nothing to lose But I cut those ties that bind us I know how to live without you now I have spread my wings and flew I will survive

Survive
You hear glass breaking, and think nothing of it. You hear a scream, a shout, and ignore it. Build a brick wall around myself, but you don’t question it. No longer smile or laugh, but do you ask why? All the signs are there, but you never notice. I want to be like a butterfly. You won’t break my wings, just because you try. I want to be like a butterfly. Emerge from my cocoon, ready to fly. I want to be like a butterfly. Laugh until I’m ready to cry. There will never be enough sky, to fill me up and take me down. I’ll always be ready, to be a butterfly.

Butterfly
Singing show tunes in new York city Trying to make a buck so I can eat I don't even know why I even try My Guitars hanging off my neck I'm playing the best way I know You pass by on your way to work But don't sit there like you know Like you're better than me Writing words on a half used flyer Wet from the rain, from tears dropping off my face Lyrics I don't know the meaning off Broken phrases that make no sense yo anyone but me I tried to go off and live my dream But now I'm living half alive Trying my best to get by And the little I got isn't quite enough

Half-Alive
All she wrote was her name on the bathroom door Not a single word more Red stain lipstick and a signature Were her last goodbyes

A Signature
She never had friends She always talked to herself And no one ever dared to look closer at her quietness She seemed normal- happy not depressed at all that was their mistake And one day when the snow fell she loved the snow- it was peaceful She decided she was done with it all So she grabbed her daddy's gun And walked into her snow storm And laid down in the grass to make an angel one last time Before she became one permanently And she held it to her head Paused for only a moment and it seemed the air was charged With electricity The sound went off, the bullet shot into her brain and her eyes went blank She stayed there, staring up at the sky And when she was found, a scream went off And tears came from a little girl Who had found her "Mommy!" she screeched. And her mommy came running Then the yell pierced the sky And nothing else was the same This girl- she had it all But an invisible thread cut her short And now she can't say "I love you" again.

I Love You
Do you even hear yourself when you speak? You sound like an idiot: immature, and not educated.

Idiot
A girl can only take so much before she explodes Temper past boiling point and eyes raging bright I may not look like it at first But there’s anger beneath the exterior Your taunting can only go so far It’s too much to handle at once Poking and prodding to see how far you can go I’m not afraid of your teasing But the consequences when I blow over Watch out for the fire Apologies I know you don’t mean Only adding fuel to the blaze There’s no way to douse the flames Only to let it simmer and burn itself out You try to get it to settle It comes back with twice the fervor Don’t mess with the fire I’m a force to be reckoned with And this is one fight you can’t win
