it’s in the way that your eyes flutter just as you wake
it’s in the way that your smile hints that there’s more to say
it’s in the way that you hum as you drift off to sleep
and it’s in the way that you love me each moment between
it’s there.

That is the weight of the average heart ,
And admittedly,
Mine probably weighs more.
But if not,
I still wear it on my sleeve.
With eleven ounces off of my chest,
Why does it feel so hard to breathe?

I'm so sorry
I wish to love you better
To make up for all the wrong words that I've said
And I know that I'm sorry's don't suffice
That you prefer it black and white
But this heart still bleeds red

I breathe in
I breathe out
I don't miss you but
You've missed out and
That's okay
I have a true lover now
He's my breath of fresh air
He's a comfortable breeze and
He welcomes me
For all that I am and
All that I can be
Yet I can't be when
I'm lying here
With damaged lungs
Making it so incredibly hard
To breathe in
To breathe out
But still, I try.

and your words cut
                                                           deep
i press my fingers to these ****** wounds
and i run straight into your arms

because it’s the safest place to  
                                                          we­ep

You could never be his cup of tea
Nor his last shot of whiskey
No, he had acquired tastes for
Luke warm tap water
And bottom shelf gasoline

Walking the streets and passing time
No particular place in mind
Simply searching for my peace of mind
Proving it’s hard to find
So tonight I’m
Sleepless in Seattle
