If you love someone
Show them
Let them be your sun, and you be their moon
Tell them they are what you dream about
Show them
Make them feel like the most beautiful thing in this world,
Everyday, just incase they forget
Show them
Write about them
Let your thoughts run free
Buy them flowers just because
Show them
Drive 1,000 miles just to see their face
Make them something
Anything, just to show your love
Show them
Look at them like they're all you see
Kiss them like its the first and last
Show them
Take them to the place you two first met
Where your eyes met, and you just knew
Grab their hand and don't let go
Show them 
Tell them your secrets and find out theirs
Travel the world with them
Show them
Take them to see their favorite band, even if its not yours
Learn to love the things they love
Show them
Lie with them, just lie with them
Lie with them as you examine all their wonder
Kiss their flaws tenderly

If you love someone
Show them  
Because one day it will be too late  
And all you'll be left with is an infinity of ways you could have showed them
But didn't

Remember that morning you came home with a black eye?
Neither of us ever acknowledged it
Because that's what we do
Maybe we think if we pretend it didn't happen then it's not true
Ignore it. It will go away.
But it doesn't go away
It lingers
And lingers
It lingers like the scent of a cigarette long after it burns out
And we continue to pretend it doesn't exist
We put on brave faces
We act like everything's okay
But it's not
It's not okay. None of its okay.
We have an image to maintain
We want everyone to believe we're perfect
But we're not.
We're not perfect. We're far from it.
We're bruised and broken just like your black eye
And maybe we could heal if we acknowledged our problems
But we don't acknowledge them
Instead we deny
Deny. Deny. Deny.
Denial is deadly
Just look at what happens to us.

I miss these winding roads
They used to feel like home
Every twist and turn another memory  
But now they're just a means to a place I seldom visit

I miss this sandy beach
It used to feel like home
Every grain of sand another memory
But now it's just a place to cool off that's long forgotten my footprints

I miss this house
It used to feel like home
Every flaw in the walls another memory
But now it's just a place to keep me warm when I feel like coming back

I miss this town
It used to feel like home
Every gas station and park another memory
But now it's just another washed up city that's washed me up too

I miss these people
They used to feel like home
Every face another memory
But now they're just nameless faces I used to know

I miss you
You used to feel like home
Every inch of your body another memory
But you're no longer here
And without you
No where feels like home

I once knew a girl
Her hair was as golden as her locket  
Her eyes the color of the sea
Her skin as porcelain as her mothers china
She was so hungry for life, so alive
Innocent and naive
But in the best way possible
Because with innocence comes fortitude
There was no fear or fright
Oh how her future was so bright

And then it stopped,
Slowly and then all at once
Oh how that life faded from her in the blink of an eye
Anxiety came and swept her away
It's true what they say, only bad things happen quickly
And now when I look in the mirror I no longer see her

I see a sad, weak girl
Her hair no longer shines like gold
Her eyes now sunken in like the sea
Her skin so sallow and dull
Oh how I miss the girl I used to see
Oh how I miss I used to be
If you're listening please come back
This time I promise not to crack
