When you left me
You cut me deep
Shredded my heart
Into pieces
Really hit me hard
In my feelings
With that I wasn’t
So good at dealing
I was left in a mess
Found I had issues
I need to address
So that I can
Be a better man

Still think of you
Every night and every day
You gave me a wake up call
Had to lose it all, had to fall
It’s not so easy without you
I hope that you know
I still deeply love you

Even after the fights
And all the hurtful words
I still find myself
Missing you,
holding you deep inside my mind
Took you walking away
To realise i didn’t commit
In the ways that i should have

Still think of you
Every night and every day
You gave me a wake up call
Had to lose it all, had to fall
It’s not so easy without you
I hope that you know
I still deeply love you

Thoughts of you
Keep plaguing my head
And all the things
That could have been
All those place we wanted to see
All those things that can never be
All I can do is reminisce
And think about what might have been
If we had worked it out
We’re nothing more
than strangers now

Still think of you
Every night and every day
You gave me a wake up call
Had to lose it all, had to fall
It’s not so easy without you
I hope that you know
I still deeply love you

Hey, I’m back
From floating in the depths
Of my imagination
Still walking through this life
To that final destination
Still picking up my shattered pride
Still learning to change elements
To make myself feel better
I fight my insecurities, daily.
Depression comes creeping in, Daily
I fight through these mixed emotions, Daily
I crack a smile and jokes just to cope, daily

If this is our reality
Need to celebrate individuality
And all that we hide inside
Let it out,
Picture it in a frame, to display
This is just a story
Of struggles that we face every day
And that’s okay
Sometimes moments don’t go our way
But all these little things
Are the way we are made
It’s our personalities we convey
This is what makes us who we are.

People I don’t even know judge me, daily
Rumours fluctuate about me, daily
I fight my constant fears of failing, daily
I’ve been pushing myself to places
I thought I would never go, daily
I reminisce and simmer in memories of better days, daily
I dream I could be doing better things in life, daily
I’m stuck in all my typical ways of thinking, daily

If this is our reality
Need to celebrate individuality
And all that we hide inside
Let it out,
Picture it in a frame, to display
This is just a story
Of struggles that we face every day
And that’s okay
Sometimes moments don’t go our way
But all these little things
Are the way we are made
It’s our personalities we convey
This is what makes us who we are.

I still get jealous, daily
Can’t help thinking
how I could have been a better man
then who you’re with now...daily
Still, flow through ideas,
of all the things we could have been, daily
Still crosses my mind
All the ways that I’ve let people down, daily
Still shake, still tremble, still scared, daily
I’ll never be good enough, daily
Still fear rejection, daily
Still waking up, daily

If this is our reality
Need to celebrate individuality
And all that we hide inside
Let it out,
Picture it in a frame, to display
This is just a story
Of struggles that we face every day
And that’s okay
Sometimes moments don’t go our way
But all these little things
Are the way we are made
It’s our personalities we convey
This is what makes us who we are.

I can be the one who tells you,
You’re looking beautiful, daily.
I can be the one who opens you up
To feel real love, daily.
I’ll be the one who’ll make you smile daily.
I still find good moments in bad days, daily.
We can fight our fears bravely, daily
I can give you hope, daily
I can shine a little light I hold inside, daily
I still write lines, daily
I promise I’ll strive to be,
The best me I can be, daily.

If this is our reality
Need to celebrate individuality
And all that we hide inside
Let it out,
Picture it in a frame, to display
This is just a story
Of struggles that we face every day
And that’s okay
Sometimes moments don’t go our way
But all these little things
Are the way we are made
It’s our personalities we convey
This is what makes us who we are.

You gave up on me
Even though you’re all I see
Never thought that this could be
The end to our story
I’m still trying to come to terms
With all that I have learned
Although I still yearn
And pray for your return
I know that this love
No longer burns for you

I want a love that’s limitless
I know you were limited
You gave me all you could give
I appreciate all the times we spent
I don’t have no regrets
From the time we met
I did the best I can
I gave you all I am
I know you felt limited
I need someone who feels limitless
In love

Even though you were all I need
You didn’t feel the same for me
And that’s okay
I’ll find another someday
Someone’s love that extends
To the ends of the universe
They’re somewhere on this earth
And as it turn’s, hope fills my eyes
I know, I’ll find her in time.

I want a love that’s limitless
I know you were limited
You gave me all you could give
I appreciate all the times we spent
I don’t have no regrets
From the time we met
I did the best I can
I gave you all I am
I know you felt limited
I need someone who feels limitless
In love

Stars shine bright
In the darkest night
Hope a burning light
In the hardest time
Something we are
All trying to find
In the depths of my soul
A feeling I can’t control
A longing for belonging
To another’s heart

I want a love that’s limitless
I know you were limited
You gave me all you could give
I appreciate all the times we spent
I don’t have no regrets
From the time we met
I did the best I can
I gave you all I am
I know you felt limited
I need someone who feels limitless
In love

Locked lips,
Can’t get enough of the flavour
Of your sweet kiss,
need another taste of it
Your fingers between mine
Feeling enchanted by your smile
Each magical moment
Just us two
I know there is nothing else
I’d rather do
then just lay here with you

You’ve got that infinite
Kind of love
The type that always lasts  
Until the end of time
Never get tired of looking
Deep into your enamoured eyes
As sparks fly between you and I
I’m obsessed with your design
Are you tired,
From running through my mind?
Only place I wanna be
is by your side

All these adventures
All these songs we share
Your cuteness is more
then I can bare
Your so beautiful
Can’t help but stop and stare
I love the way you want to model
All the different outfits
that you wear
You do it with vigour and flare

You’ve got that infinite
Kind of love
The type that always lasts  
Until the end of time
Never get tired of looking
Deep into your enamoured eyes
As sparks fly between you and I
I’m obsessed with your design
Are you tired,
From running through my mind?
Only place I wanna be
is by your side

Conversations so deep
Between you and me
An ocean overflowing
with pure devotion
Filled with loving emotion
To the depths of the sea
My heart bleeds
You’re all I need
You’re all I see
So in love with you
Destined to be
Together forever

You’ve got that infinite
Kind of love
The type that always lasts  
Until the end of time
Never get tired of looking
Deep into your enamoured eyes
As sparks fly between you and I
I’m obsessed with your design
Are you tired,
From running through my mind?
Only place I wanna be
is by your side

I get jealous thinking
About someone else’s lips
Receiving your kiss
I’m going crazy with all of these
Scenario situations
plaguing my mind
Knowing you are no longer mine
And there’s nothing I can do
From another getting all your love
From you

My heart is bleeding
There’s a hole
Deep in my soul
is my imagination
Playing tricks on me
Trying to picture
what could have been
Girl could not see, what I seen
A love between you and me
These are just Tales
From a broken heart
Turning hurt into art

I just can’t stand
the idea of another
Holding your hand
Taking you places
You’ve always dreamed to see
And knowing it’s not with me
It hurting my brain
Thinking that another guy
Will get to wake to your beautiful face

My heart is bleeding
There’s a hole
Deep in my soul
is my imagination
Playing tricks on me
Trying to picture
what could have been
Girl could not see, what I seen
A love between you and me
These are just Tales
From a broken heart
Turning hurt into art

These are just thoughts
That flood my head
I know this sounds
A bit possessive
A little obsessive
Maybe a tad aggressive
But I’m known for being
Raw and real
I don’t make believe how I feel
These are just tales
From a broken heart
From a boy who turns
Feelings into art

My heart is bleeding
There’s a hole
Deep in my soul
is my imagination
Playing tricks on me
Trying to picture
what could have been
Girl could not see, what I seen
A love between you and me
These are just Tales
From a broken heart
Turning hurt into art

And though I haven’t seen
Your smile in quite a while
I still think of all those times
When you once were mine
The songs we used to sing
The things we used to talk about
Makes me think of how
You were always there
I miss the way you cared
I miss the times we shared

My heart is bleeding
There’s a hole
Deep in my soul
is my imagination
Playing tricks on me
Trying to picture
what could have been
Girl could not see, what I seen
A love between you and me
These are just Tales
From a broken heart
Turning hurt into art

You moved on so fast
While I’m still stuck in love
With you.
And I’m listening to all the songs
We used to sing
And I’m still rewatching
All the videos that you used to send
And I know, that I’ve got to let go
But for just a little longer
I want to bask in all the memories
That you left me with.

Sometimes someone special
Just comes then goes
Never really know the ending
Until that time comes to pass
Yeah, your heart is broken
Just laying in the dark
You were the one I’d chosen
But your love started to drain
And so you decided you could not stay
Now you’re just the girl that got away.

I made a bunch of mistakes
Decision I regret that I made
I’m the only one here to blame
Hope you are somewhere out there
Finding your happiness
Hope you are somewhere out there
giving love another chance
Even though I miss
Seeing your name
light up my phone
I hope you’ll always know
You’re forever locked
deep within my heart
Sometimes we just need a fresh start.

Sometimes someone special
Just comes then goes
Never really know the ending
Until that time comes to pass
Yeah, your heart is broken
Just laying in the dark
You were the one I’d chosen
But your love started to drain
And so you decided you could not stay
Now you’re just the girl that got away.

There is no hard feelings
I’m really not mad
That thing’s ended the way they did
In many ways I deserved it
And even though I’m hurting
I am learning, still glad we met
I’ll cherish the times together
That we spent,
and I’m still singing
Can’t help falling in love
Those times will be defined
When I almost found the one

Sometimes someone special
Just comes then goes
Never really know the ending
Until that time comes to pass
Yeah, your heart is broken
Just laying in the dark
You were the one I’d chosen
But your love started to drain
And so you decided you could not stay
Now you’re just the girl that got away.

You didn’t have the patience for love
You couldn’t wait any longer for us
And I’ve been regretting
All of those mistakes that I made
Wish I’d never made you wait
But now it’s too late
And it hurts that you could just walk  away
I’m still struggling with that everyday
I never could of done that to you
I never could have imagined a life without you

You were my light that shined bright
Through my darkest nights
You were the only one keeping me grounded
Through the hardest times
You cured my sadness with the prettiest smiles
Such a sweet soul, such a kind girl
There’s no one else like you in this entire world

You didn’t have the patience for love
You couldn’t wait any longer for us
And I’ve been regretting
All of those mistakes that I made
Wish I’d never made you wait
But now it’s too late
And it hurts that you could just walk  away
I’m still struggling with that everyday
I never could of done that to you
I never could have imagined a life without you


Thoughts of you flood my head
Thinking of all the kind things that you said
And all of the pictures you used to send
I miss the way you sing from the depths of your heart
I miss that look when you were in love
They say as time goes on feelings can change
I really wish it didn’t have to be that way

You didn’t have the patience for love
You couldn’t wait any longer for us
And I’ve been regretting
All of those mistakes that I made
Wish I’d never made you wait
But now it’s too late
And it hurts that you could just walk  away
I’m still struggling with that everyday
I never could of done that to you
I never could have imagined a life without you

Used to be so good at being alone
Until you came along
Now all I feel is emptiness
And this big gaping hole in my chest
Nothing seems to fill the space that you left
Even though I’ve been trying my best
You don’t know the amount of times that I’ve spent
Crying tears, while I’m lying in bed
Nothing seems to ease the pain
And I swear, I’m trying to move on and find happiness

You didn’t have the patience for love
You couldn’t wait any longer for us
And I’ve been regretting
All of those mistakes that I made
Wish I’d never made you wait
But now it’s too late
And it hurts that you could just walk  away
I’m still struggling with that everyday
I never could of done that to you
I never could have imagined a life without you
