I didn't have anything nice to say,
But my lips kept moving anyway.

I am not a violent person,
But I will verbally punch you in the throat.

When you are silent,
You give me a blank.
And boy, do I fill it.
I fill it with all of my fears.
I fill it with assumptions.
I fill it with the pain of my past.

When you give me a blank,
I fill it with worst case scenarios.
I get that knot in my stomach that tells me you're gonna give up on me any time now.

When you give me a blank,
I break my own heart.
So please, just talk to me.

Everybody's dying to be heard,
And yet it's silent...we don't make a sound.
If we'd realize the power of our words before we'd speak them, we'd be found.

We'd be found, closer than we are right now.
Maybe then we'd realize, we're all looking through the same eyes.

It really breaks my heart to watch this fall apart.
As we stand there in the distance, saying "It's too late to fix this."
We'll leave it up to someone else.
We'll give our thoughts away for free, and then we'll buy them off the shelf.

We're closer than we've ever been.
I think it's time for us to begin...
To find some kind of compromise.
Cause we're all looking through the same eyes.

I used to be a runner,
There's a problem?
Count me out!
But I got pretty tired of running,
So I tried to turn around.
Then I got really good at staying.
You'll take advantage?
That's okay.
But then I realized when I stayed
I was absent anyway.
And now, I'm good at neither.
I just travel to and fro.
I guess that I am best
When I am free to come and go.

You were so pretty while you were sleeping,
I had to wake you.
I didn't mean to disrupt your dreams,
I just had to tell someone, and the cats never listen, the dog doesn't understand, and the bird, he'd be jealous.
See, sometimes when you fall asleep before I do, I get lost in my love for you.
Sometimes when you're still and quiet, you are most alive in me.
Sometimes when you are dreaming your dreams, I am living mine.

You're doing it again...
I thought I asked you to stop.
I thought I told you that the only
Kind of relationship I wanted
Was an authentic one.
Do I have to CONSTANTLY
Remind you what that means?
It means that there is trust.
It means there is honesty.
It means that we keep our
Word to each other.
YOU keep compromising this trust.
I thought I asked you to stop.
I thought I told you I have no
Interest in this kind of relationship.
