if i'm honest, i don't even know if i wanted you there
but as the silence cut through the radio played on
sometimes i'm so sick of the universe and its signs
even when it isn't wrong

if i'm honest, i laughed too hard
and smiled too much
because i wanted you to fall the same way i did
i wanted you to fall in love

if i'm honest, when you asked truth or dare
it scared the life out of me
i could tell by the look in your eyes
that you knew you could end my being

if i'm honest, in the dimly lit room
i wanted to lose myself in you again
i really can make everything out of absolutely nothing
after all, we're just friends

but if i'm honest, after the one o'clock walk
and you went home to sleep
i must have left my being on the other side of the street
because it didn't come back until two or three

if i'm honest, i only told you that i couldn't go
because i couldn't see you with anyone else
i'm not sorry that i didn't go, though
i guess right now i'm just not myself

and if i'm honest, i just laid in bed
all of the very next day
after seeing you, i always fall so low
waiting to hear from the one who went away

maybe i don't want to be this honest
but i need to stop lying to myself
if i'm honest, it's good to get all of this out
even if it means you shutting down

but if i'm honest, i don't know if i want you to read this
i don't know who i want to be
i only know what i always have
that somehow, i just need you to be there with me.

Lend me your eyes.
So I could fill them
with the bursting stars.
Telling tales of the spellbinding universe,
singing songs of exploding suns...
and of splintering quasars.

Lend me your thoughts.
So that if I may,
write of them.
Fantastical scribbles of love
and praise.
Meticulously lined
and carefully stitched...
with immaculate lace at the hems.

Lend me your breaths.
I'd catch them as they fall...
between the words you would say.
Merging mine with yours...
introducing colour...
and vigour
to my monochromatic world of
black, white and grey.

Lend me your heartbeats...
for mine thumps erratic.
As if beating in silent mock.
I depend on the steadiness in yours.
So they could usurp
the ticks of worldly clocks.

Lend me your hands.
Palms up as a sign,
perhaps as an invitation...
for me to take them.
And maybe...
hopefully fill them...
with mine...

You're my Prince Charming
You just don't know it yet
Be my white knight
On a black horse
With sword made out of words
Be my foothold
Carved out of rhinestones
With a heartbeat made of gold
Be my partner
Be my lover
Be the one I've been waiting for
Be the bad boy
To my good girl
And I promise
We'll rule the world

I'll be your novel
You be the author
Shaping who I am
You be my Shakespeare
And I'll be your Juliet
Baby we'll make it somewhere
I'll be your guitar
You pluck my heartstrings
All you have to do
Is say "hello" to me

Walk over
Walk your pretty eyes over
Come closer
Why'd you ever have to leave
Don't you wanna know me
Like I wanna know you
Don't you wanna kiss me
Like I want to be with you
We're meant to be
Even if you don't know it yet
I can see it all
In my minds' eye
Remember I'm
The one who they pushed you to
All it takes
Is for you to walk over

You be my bodyguard
I'll be your princess
You be my good boy
I'll be your witness
You be the bad news
I'll be the wanna be
You be the shadows
I'll be the way you breathe
You be the teacher
I'll be the student
Why didn't you bring me where you went
You be the one for me
I'll be the one to beat
Won't you just say "hello"

Walk over
Walk your pretty eyes over
Come closer
Why'd you ever have to leave
Don't you wanna know me
Like I wanna know you
Don't you wanna kiss me
Like I want to be with you
We're meant to be
Even if you don't know it yet
I can see it all
In my minds' eye
Remember I'm
The one who they pushed you to
All it takes
Is for you to walk over

If you would even show a glance to me
I would be everything for you
If you would even smile at me
I would give everything to you
Why didn't you tell me when you'd leave
Why couldn't you be someone for me
But if you never said "hello"
And I never said a word
What good is anything?

If you'd be the thunder
I'd be the lighting
I'd be scared
Be good
Be frightening
If you'd be the rain
I'd be the trees
I'd be loved
Be good
Be happy
If you'd say "hello"
I'd say lets go
Let's run away
Run fast
Run far
Run somewhere safe

If you would even show a glance to me
I would be everything for you
If you would even smile at me
I would give everything to you
Why didn't you tell me when you'd leave
Why couldn't you be someone for me
But if you never said "hello"
And if I never said a word
What good is anything?
If I never said a word
If I never said a word
What good is anything

Oh, oh hello
Just say hello to me.

i'd still choose you over and over again
even after you hurt me
and i hurt you
over and over again
