It's really hard to make sense of the senseless
When the world stops spinning
And feelings become careless

i wonder if you're lying in the dark too
thinking of me like i'm thinking of you
and how we dyed Easter eggs last year
but maybe, unlike me, you might be shedding tears.

the only thing worse than the heavy sobs
is the silent, wet eyes
when you hurt too much to even cry

how is it that you can notice someone's haircut or their new shoes
but they don't notice a single thing
about you.

i think i covered the shades with blankets today
because every little light needed to go away
because that's how I felt
is this what it's like to be in hell?

i guess i'm only here when you're in a good mood
but just so you know, i wouldn't do the same to you

You know just because you said you're sorry,
That doesn't mean you can go.

sometimes I skim through a yearbook just to see your face before I go to bed
but after that I can never seem to get you out of my head
and that drives me insane.

i have a bad habit of wanting to reach peoples' souls
especially with things they don't want anyone to know.

my fingers are aching from the songs I played for you
but will never play again because
you never knew

if having feelings for you is how it felt to be alive
then maybe I wish that I would have
died

just when I thought I found perfection
it's ripped away along with
my own reflection

and I'll give everything we never had
as a blessing for something you'll
always have

everything I ever felt becomes wrong
when you find out that he was taken
all along.

I hate when you don't post anything
Because then I can never know what you're thinking

It drives me crazy to know
That all the letters, words, and stanzas that I've worked through
Could never accurately describe the essence of you.

I watched as the stars in his eyes faded away
Standing out in the snow, all alone with the mess they made
Cold and alone with no one around
His fingertips go numb and the weight of the world sends him sprawling on the ground
Every breath is so that his lungs don't explode
And his heart is beating faster as the atmosphere implodes
As the only universe he's ever known comes crashing to the ground
Along with all the love he'd thought they found
And he's wondering...
"What just happened?
Where do I go?
Will anyone love me?
And how will I know?"
So what can I do and what can I say?
I just saw him while walking home one day
Should I lend him a hand or maybe a breath?
Would he even want it when he's scared to death?
Just take my hand- I'll help you up
Let someone show you a little love
Because everything's warmer after you're cold
And nothing will be new if your feelings are old

sometimes relationships are like movies; you can predict the ****** or the ending even before it happens. when the movie ends, you need to evaluate if it's worth putting more time and effort into a sequel: same cast, same plot, same idea. but sometimes, it takes a terrible sequel in order to realize that every minute you loved is over and you can either re-watch them over and over, until you can recognize that you need a new cast, a new story, and a new vision. pick your own cast-choose wisely. write your own script. but do not let it write you.

Ballerinas dancing up and down notes
Twisting and turning in things I never wrote
Great leaps and great dips into everything unknown
Weeping washes away anything we'd ever know
Musical symphonies sound like fresh rain
Pirouettes weaving love with the pain
Throw me a lift and I'll break away
Watch me grow wings as the sky turns to grey
I'll crush the stage I'll break the sky
Run away with me come on babe we'll fly
Don't ask me to stay don't ask me to go
I do what I want I can run the show
I'll dance if I want, but I'd rather fly
Please don't weep, please don't cry
I'll break out of your cage
And dance off this stage
I'm not in your music box anymore
My dress is left in tatters but everything's new
And I can see is the sky and it's blue
So when I find land I want green again
But not for so long-I want things to change
Green-brown-and finally amber
And grey will be only something I remember

Let me tell you the beginning of a love story
That began with pretty eyes and rosy lips
Let me tell you the beginning of a love story
That started with hello and ended in silence

Let me tell you the beginning of a love story
Where he was all she thought she'd need
Let me tell you the beginning of a love story
Where she romanticized everything

Let me tell you the beginning of a love story
He read her words in a celebrity's voice
Let me tell you the beginning of a love story
Where getting swept away wasn't a choice

Let me tell you the middle of a love story
Roses grew among the thorns
Let me tell you the middle of a love story
And they lost everything they thought they'd found

Let me tell you the middle of a love story
Where he chose to walk away
Let me tell you the middle of a love story
Where she captured his essence in poetry for days

Let me tell you the end of a love story
The pen is falling to the ground
Let me tell you the end of a love story
Where they begged and pleaded too loud

Let me tell you the end of a love story
Where everything turned out wrong
Let me tell you the end of a love story
Just because a song is bad doesn't mean you don't sing along

This is the end of our love story
Who put faith in chemistry anyway
These are the last words of our love story
So hello, my dear, and goodbye

If missing you was like breathing

Does that mean I'm dead?

I think that if we even want to think about taking this out for a walk
The most important thing our tongues need to do is talk
With honest words and silent hands
And the words I've written and you probably stole from plastic lyric-less bands
So much needs to be redone, rewound, and rethought
I don't think we have the time to do this right
Because nothing's ever black and white

I don't know what to think
I don't know what to feel
I can see your expression in the waters
And can't decide if it's real
I lie to myself and I lie to you
You ask if I'm okay
But I can't answer because it won't be true
I remember seeing my reflection in your glassy eyes
Oh, everything fell apart that night
I could see my face in the lake of tears
Why was love my biggest fear?
I heard your voice in the roar of the waves
And in every song I wrote and every word I sang
I see your expression in the waters
But maybe it just a mirage
Here one second and gone the next
Who ever said goodbyes were for the best?
Oh, I don't know what to think
And I don't know what to feel
Is any of this real?

Creep that Loved You

There comes a point where you have to convince people that you're alright
Even if they ask if you're okay time after time
Because you can only say no for so long
Before people start to consider you obsessed or forlorn
When really you just have a hard time letting go
Of something that seemed to be all you've ever known
Because all scars do is fade
They never really go away
