Why did you show up if you were planning on staying the same
Tonight is about finding the change
before it catches up to you
we can try to stay the same but we will get caught up in the change
we can try to stay the same but we will get caught up in the change
we can try to stay the same but we will get caught up in the change
we can try to stay the same but we will get caught up in the change
we can try to stay the same but we will get caught up in the change

I Saw Him Look Back
        I Saw Him Look Back
& it was a moment full of maybes

Use this time to reflect on what you’ve got left to protect
I’m locked into the idea of what you could make me feel
& loving you like that felt senseless
Weighed down by thoughts compounding in my head
Looking for someone to write between my lines
& I’ve been
faking
redirecting the way I’ve been saying I’m gonna be okay

I can't make you want me.
I can't make you care,
About my feelings or emotions,
You left my heart bare.
I cry over you,
Although I know it wont faze you.

Tears fall from my eyes,
As I try to forget you.
It hurts to be unwanted,
Left to the side,
Forgotten about in the blink of an eye.
I feel so insignificant,
So incredibly small,
Knowing that I meant nothing at all.

But I can't make you want me.
I know you don't care.
As much as I want you,
You'll never be there.

words flow out from cracks in spaces I can't feel safe in
and this may be the only way to say this
but sometimes I hate the phrase
"oh yeah she's okay"
Like I never expected this to end like I wanted to
but why am I stuck in this phase
I feel okay I feel Okay I feel okAy
"she's fine"

I am much safer in these new thoughts
old parking lots don't let me go back to you
tracing over pages and faces and new spaces
so I am happily okay with being okay
and maybe one day
I'll be able to look at someone
the way you look at her with
wide eyes
no white lies
getting over you

walking in parking lots
talking about lost thoughts
tracing patterns on blank pages
because losing you was the worst thing I could do
now I am here in your old places with new faces
and they come in waves I can't be safe in
so let me go while I have time find new spaces
