I drank more than I could handle,
and you didn't take care of me.
I drank so much I almost forgot how much I loved you,
until I saw your lips on hers.

One of my best friends,
well how's an eye for an eye?
I hope she was worth it,
your best friend is just as much of a *****.

I hope you watched the way I touched him,
and I hope you hated how she tasted.
I want to know you saw me sleeping in his bed
instead of yours.
I hope when you woke up and saw me curled up next to him,
you felt pain that pierced through your heart.

I have a thousand regrets,
and you will never be one of them-
But I hope it becomes what you are made of-
A thousand regrets.
I hope you both feel satisfied.

All I needed was your hand to hold when mine was shaking,
and something steady to grasp when I wasn't stable.
I needed your time, but you had none to give away.
I wanted a loan, something to get me by.
I was thinking love, but you had something else in mind

All I got was your hand in the wrong places,
and a grasp I couldn't escape from.
I needed your help, but you had none to offer.
I wanted out, anything to say goodbye.
You were thinking a walk to the bedroom,
but I was thinking suicide.

Prescribe me something to take away the pain,
but God, please don't prescribe me any medication.
Give me love, give me substance.
Give me a cigarette, an excuse.
But please, don't prescribe me *crazy pills.

Our first kiss was here, and you were so quiet the waves washed away your nervous humming.
I wish I would have caught your stutter.
We made history here, and I'm so sorry I only paid attention to the beauty of the sea.

Our last kiss was here, and you weren't quiet anymore because you were angry.
This time your eyes were the waves, washing me from your memories.
and oh, how I paid attention.

It's easy to feel tiny and insignificant in a world so big.
There are images to uphold, issues to ignore.
Take the first stand this time.
These days, freedom is only ruin in disguise.
So run as fast as you can.

My hair is fire red -
I'm compensating for the warmth
You took with you
When you left.
dyed my hair again

The winter is brisk, but not half as cold as you've become.
How can you say you loved me once?
When I look into those eyes that once seemed so warm,
I only see shadows where your soul used to be.

The winter is brisk, and you're a shell of yourself.
When did you change?
It must have been all the words the doctor used to describe you.
Crazy, depressed, nervosa-syndrome-disorder
There's bandaids where I used to see your beauty.

The winter is brisk, and you're in my head but I'm not in yours.
Why didn't you come back?
The therapist convinced you our love was poison.
But it was the only thing keeping you human.

I can't shake you back to life this time.
Snowglobe darling,
I'll watch your snowflakes fall,
and listen to what's left of your sweet melody.
