at the end of the day
if we piled up all the excuses made
would they be more than what
we've actually done?
because all the excuses we make take up
the majority of our lives
we hide in fear
until we realize
we're not living
but we're alive
is that enough?
not for me
and maybe i'll have to go it alone
in none of you is bravery shown
and sitting there isn't getting you
anywhere
but to be fair i've spent my fair share
of time in a comfy chair
but it's time to get outside
time to breathe in life
adventure is calling me
and i won't betray it
that's cowardly
i'm going to leave you far behind
but i warned you
maybe this isn't goodbye
there might still be time to catch up
but my dizzy dreamer head is thirsty enough
that i might be farther gone than you thought
and maybe i'm wrong maybe you better not.

if all i need to do is move on
then why does it feel so....
wrong
i hope it doesn't take too
long
because my fragile strength is
gone
i'm exhausted by everything this month
everything is getting to be
much
I'm just ready to be
done
done with so many things on my
plate
they all need to just go
away

brave
i stood tall
silly
i let down walls
i was too busy
to guard my heart
too busy writing to think
about art
i forgot the basics
how do i breathe
but i can stand
on my own two feet
wobbly from getting up
i forgot how to walk
why did i fumble
i should have known better
but i clumsily stumble
in your direction
but you don't catch me
though it's not cold rejection
i missed because i had no compass
i didn't have a map
and honestly who was i kidding
i never had a chance.

At the end of the day
at least i tried
i'm more than okay
i gave it a shot
and maybe i missed my target
but what was i aiming for?i forgot
and everything will be alright
i will  let this  go
i will let you go
now it's over
i'm finally done
and it's hard to decide if
my battle was won
but now it's over
it's a little bittersweet
i'll have to find a new path
for my wandering feet.

come on skinny love
just last the year
can we last
will we last
the year
or will this be
our last year
please
pretty please
hold on
hold tight
we're strong
we can last
we can last
the year
say it's not so
this won't be our
last year.

can you see
how much i've grown
since i've known you
not just in height
but as a person
can you see
how much i've grown?
because i can
and i stand taller now
than i did before
but you've grown too
maybe not in height
but as a person
you grew
and i grew
to love you.

i like collecting snowflakes
on my eyelashes.
