Roses aren't romantic all they do is die
Your love isn't poetic all you did was lie
You took my heart and threw it in the sky
Landed right on Cloud 9
Nobody ever told you it'd be this lonely
All I ever wanted was for you to hold me
No time to cry, my eyes remain dry
But I still remember when you taught me to fly
How to let go of everything, soaring so high
But it was all a game and I didn't know how to play
You never meant to stay
Now I'll be on my way
I wish my love was enough
I'm sorry life is so rough

You like my pretty words wrote down on paper all for you
But do you like my thoughts and words that come out of my mouth instead?
You think I have a pretty face
Do you think I have a pretty heart?
You tell me to head east, then you start to head west
I try to follow but the path gets too dark
Did you turn off the light?
Left me cold and with a mark
I searched and searched but I still could not see
Was your back turned to me?
You ran and ran and dropped to her feet
"I love you to the moon and back" you said
"I love you too" she replied
But really she lied
How could you really love another when your heart is made of thunder
2 weeks later they were outside
"Look at the moon and how it only shines for you"
"I don't really like the night sky" was all she replied

Your love is like a cigarette
On my mind when I first wake up
On my mind when my world is too caught up
On my mind all the time, even their smell
Quitting would only be hell
Addicted from the start
Both bad for my heart
Cigarettes leave burn holes in my bed
The place you once lead
Light on my lips, but nothing like his
Inhale the smoke
But still, I inhaled you most
Bad for my lungs
Both my favorite on my tongue
But you still make me catch my breath
Ever since day one

I've wrote this to you a million times
But no combination of words and lines
Will ever describe
The feeling you made consume my stomach
when you said my name
The warmth you made fill my chest
when you would laugh so hard
you couldn't catch your breath
Or that feeling that itched at my soul
when you swore you loved me so
More and more
All I ever wanted was your every inch,
from high to low
Now here comes the feeling
of you letting me go
Words I never thought
I'd hear you mumble
Still I remain humble
But you I miss like the ocean
misses the moon's kiss
I'm sorry to reminisce
But no amount of love I have for you
and your grown hollow soul
Will ever be enough for **you

I miss you so much and you were never mine
I miss you so much but you're still breathing just fine
How could you go? I thought we were attached
You walked away without a scratch
So why am I still here holding my breath?
Never once a second thought
Just up and left like you weren't the one
You sleep just fine knowing you're not mine
Her hands around your neck, there you'd rather be instead
She loved like the moon but you'll see soon,
there's always a dark side
to the
**moon

I was kissing your stars
But you were kissing the ground
Head over heals for somebody already found
I loved you once but that wasn't enough
One kiss on the cheek
And then you were gone

You belong to her, not me
When she's gone you can hardly breathe
She's all you could ever need
Each word crushes my lung
Makes my stomach hurt
You long for her smell, her touch, her every detail
So when you're gone, missing her across sea
I'll be missing you, hoping to wake up from this dream
He handed her a locket to cherish all they could be
On one side she had a picture of herself
On the other read "good luck"
If you were the moon then she was the ocean
Like spring tides, when the moon is full
The high tides are very high
And the low tides are very low
