I see my footprints in the sand,
But you're not there to hold my hand.
These tracks look lonely,
When it's only me.

The sand beneath my feet,
The tide comes in and pulls me deep.
Wash away our prints,
But leave behind my sins.

The cold clings to me,
Nobody to hold me close
And keep me cozy.
I guess this is now where I stand,
Watching our footprints fade into the sand.

Held to my heart,
A secret tearing me apart.
Words kept silent,
To prevent all of the violence.

I don't want to see you walk away,
I don't want to hear say,
those words I know you'll say.
So I'll keep my mouth shut,
Keep my heart at bay.
Because I'm afraid that it'll lead us astray.

I'll keep this love to myself,
Not willing to risk this wealth,
You make me feel so rich in love.

I'll keep this love to myself,
Don't want to see you go,
Don't want to lose you so
I'll keep my words in my chest,
And I'll do my best
To be there always.

Loyal to a fault,
I'll be at your side.
Words like salt,
But wounds hurt till they heal.

Help on the rise,
And cushion should you fall.
I'll look into your eyes,
And say, "These steps start small."

Before myself is where you lay,
And when it calls,
At your side I'll stay.
When you're looking for lies,
I'll say what's true,
Even if it tears your eyes.

I'll be there.
With a smile.
I'll be there.
Till the day I die.

Nothing remains the same.
No matter the will or wish,
Everything changes.

People leave.
Having served their purpose in your life,
They vanish.
Routine turns to memories of when,
"Good morning"s shift to " I guess I'll see you then."

We'll walk past each other,
Nothing more than strangers.
I'd like to say I knew you,
But I used to say I knew you'd always be there.


At the very least you taught me everything changes.
At the very least you taught me not to get attached.
At the very least you taught me people leave...
So I'd like to say I don't care,
But instead I'll just care till you're no longer there.

It's hard to keep at this game
When day after day
I feel myself slowly drifting away,
Because I prefer different rather than the same.

Maybe it's because i have a different definition of love.
What I want is a rendition the world around me seems unfamiliar with.

I look around me,
Kisses without meaning,
"I love you"s that only exist in the moment,
A surface with no texture.

I keep searching,
My heart breaks
As it keeps yearning.

I haven't found it yet,
I haven't found her yet.
It's hard to keep hoping.

Too many people
Think these silly games can work,
Because you  don't understand your own worth.
Trust me when i say,
"He's not going to stand for you at the end of day,"
But you can't let him slip away.
You hold on too tight,
So when you fall it hurts worse
As you slip into your darkest night.

But I've been standing here warning you,
By your side because im concerned for you.
But  it's hard to see you fall twice
Before you learn the truth.

Trust me, I've seen this play too many times,
Romeo Romeo don't give a **** if Juliet dies.
But I have to stand here trying to catch you when you fall fast.
And you're not the only one getting hit by the backlash.

I know that love is blind because your heart doesn't have eyes,
Yet you're still the only one who can't see past his black lies.
Love with your heart,
But still think with your mind.
Or your heart will keep breaking
Saying,"True love is hard to find."

To tell you the truth,
I  did warn you.
It might sound harsh,
But it's true.
Now all I can do is tell you it'll be alright,
As your tear drops glisten off my shoe.

Demons walking through my head like it's a playground.
Carelessly they tear me apart as they mess around.

Tormenting me,
They slide down my tears.
Whisper in my ear
With a voice that I fear
Always reminding me they're here.
Knock knock.

I swing back and forth inside my mind,
I hold onto the ropes as I watch memories rewind.
And demons come and whisper
"you're alone"
And as I carry on swinging
I feel the urge to let go
