Why do I wish you were standing there
running your hands through my hair
Whispering compliments in my ear
Promising me that you’ll always be here
Listening to our favorite song
swaying, together, all the while long
Feeling your pulse against my cheek
Feeling my knees become a little weak
I could stay here for hours with you
Because I believe what you said was true
That people were made with a part of them missing
Only to find it in someone worth kissing

The lights went out
I let out a shout
I'm a bit scared
and unprepared
But I'm completely fine
It's just the power line  
So I talk to you
but it seems you're through
you're not enjoying our little conversations
which leaves me to ponder while looking at constellations
As if I'm not worth a call
As if I'm not there at all
So I sit in the dark with no electricity
Waiting on life to grant me some simplicity
Why can't my mind be serene, like yours?
Being the first to talk is always a chore

Love, you've hurt me here and there
I can't count the times I've been caught in your snare
But along these journeys, I've learned lessons
Like never to let heartbreak turn into depression

But now I'd like to ask you a favor
See, this time I truly think I'm enchanted
if you grant me this wish, I'll be on my best behavior
And you know, from the past, that I won't take you for granted

If you're planning on a soul mate
If you're finding me a whim
I request no fate
Love, let it be him

The one who I think of when I see the word "romance"
The one who finds his way into all my thoughts
the one who, I wish, would give me a glance
the one who ties my stomach into knots

If you're already working on someone
I'd rather you start from scratch  
for I fear these feelings cannot be undone
my heart is already planning to dispatch

If you're planning on a soul mate
If you're finding me a whim
I request no fate
Love, let it be him

I'm afraid my time is running out
The warmth is overtaking my brain
Though, now I know without a doubt
This new feeling is not another feign

If you're planning on a soul mate
If you're finding me a whim
I request no fate
just let it be him

Bumble Bee
Fly with me
Talk of tomorrow
oh blue sky
let me lie
hide from my sorrow
you and me
meant to be
despite our future
take the leap
off to sleep
this sweet dream suits her
why should I
sit and cry
It was her mistake
still this pain
leaves a stain
that blood was not fake
to the sad
poor young lad
sitting at the bar
never know
he may go
join the other stars

If I was in love with you, I would tell you how you've never left my mind since the day we last talked.

If I was in love with you, I would tell you that I can't remember the last time I had the courage to look you in the eye.

If I was in love with you, I would tell you that I laugh at myself every day for being in this much pain when I was the one who caused it.

If I was in love with you, I would tell you that I'm frustrated with myself because of the fact that I hurt you.

If I was in love with you, I would distract myself with anything to stop you from invading my thoughts.

If I was in love with you, you could tell by my expression that I wear a plastic face to cover up my exposed skeleton.

If I was in love with you, you would have known from the start that I've been in misery watching you try for me.

If I was in love with you, I would try to convince myself that the world's view on young lovers is the right one.

If I was in love with you, why would I hurt you like I did?

So I can't be in love with you, because how could anyone like you love me?

Curled up under the covers
My coffee cup in hand
Reading about young lovers
Trying to understand

I could stay here for hours
Thinking of only his name
Smelling his bouquet of flowers
Looking at his picture frame

But the morning has to end
I must wake from this dream
I remember I'm only his friend
I must get over this scheme

This scenario where he'd choose me
A happily ever after
Though my heart buzzes like a honey bee
Whenever I hear his laughter

I'll be there for him in the meanwhile
His quote-unquote wing woman
Seeing him all dressed up makes me smile
But it's not for me, it's for Lin

I feel you walking in the crowd
I see your face among the clouds
I smell your cologne on my old sweater
I know it was easy for you to forget her

The one who helped you through disaster
Now wears a smile made of plaster
The woman who called the rescue team
Is now the girl who only sees you in a dream

Just promise me you're happy now
And please forgive my furrowed brow
I'm still jealous of how you moved on
And left me in that place to fawn
