I'm down an out, my flames just a flicker. The voice that I speak has now became a whisper. I've lost myself for the thousandth time, so here I am writing some stupid little rhyme. I won't  sugar coat it, I won't be polite, because speaking the truth is always what's right. I won't write a love song, a ballad, or rap. I wont write about scorn and how love is a trap. I won't write about evil, or sins or deeds, I won't write about how you're supposed to set love free. I won't write about judging, or mocking or being cruel, I won't write about smoking or drinking or breaking the rules. I won't write about math, or English or history, I won't write something stupid saying tomorrow's just a mystery. I won't write about freedom, or living your life to the fullest. I won't write about someone taking their life with some bullets. I won't write about heartache or sadness or lust, I won't write about happiness, or righteous or a book about trust. I won't write about promises, or bending the rules, I won't right about how guys are always such tools. I won't right about suicide, or self harm, or cutting. I won't write about preppy girls and how they're always strutting.  I won't write about any of these, I won't write about none. But as I re-read this I realize that's what I've done.

Cross your heart and hope to die,
keep my secretes safe inside.
Don't let loose lips destroy my soul,
Keep them sealed and keep me whole.

Don't shut me down, don't close me out,
Dont make me wanna scream and shout.
Don't make me hurt, don't make me cry,
Don't make me drain my eyes so dry.

Cross your heart and hope to die,
keep my secretes safe inside.
Don't let loose lips destroy my soul,
Keep them sealed and keep me whole.

Keep me sound, keep me safe,
Hold me in your strong embrace.
Kiss my scars, kiss my face,
Make my heart begin to race.

Cross your heart and hope to die,
keep my secretes safe inside.
Don't let loose lips destroy my soul,
Keep them sealed and keep me whole.

Fooled me once, shame on me,
Fooled me twice, it mustn't be.
Broke my heart, rocked my soul,
How can love, be this cruel.


Cross your heart and hope to die,
keep my secretes safe inside.
Don't let loose lips destroy my soul,
Keep them sealed and keep me whole.

Had me thinking, we were real,
All my kisses, you would steal.
Drug me on, and built up hope,
Then you told me nope, nope, nope.


Cross your heart and hope to die,
keep my secretes safe inside.
Don't let loose lips destroy my soul,
Keep them sealed and keep me whole

Stored my dreams, encouraged my desire,
Made me think our love was fire.
I was the gas, you were the lighter,
But now I'm a burn victim, now I'm a fighter.


Cross your heart and hope to die,
keep my secretes safe inside.
Don't let loose lips destroy my soul,
Keep them sealed and keep me whole.

I was a puppet, you were the master,
Controlling the way, my heart would beat faster.
But now I'm the puppet that sits on the shelf,
And for this situation I blame myself


Cross your heart and hope to die,
All you did was lie, lie, lie.
Promise here, promise there,
We didn't make it anywhere.

There's very few people I've let into my heart,
And I guess now is no better time to start.
Start re-building my walls, start digging the trenches,
Start sealing the cracks from exit to entrance.
Start building my guards, place them around my beating castle,
Start restraining my feelings so my heart has no hassle.
Start pushing people away, start loosing my hope,
Start tying together the ends of the rope.
Start loosing my mind, start loosing my soul,
Maybe once I do I won't be the fool.
