Pale blank faces all scattered around
Pale blank faces can make the ugliest sound

Your pale blank face wasn't pale at all
See, your pale blank face made me fall

Your eyes showed the judgement of a 4 year old kid
Honest but sweet
Your smile was big so charismatic,
I could run off this world and you'd be one to believe this was real tragic

Your eyes and that smile are all that keep me here,
Because honest but sweet isn't much of a fear

And that big charismatic smile is all I can see
My eyes closed in the dark but smiling for I'm lucky to breath

I thought I could make you want to live,
I let you take everything I had to give

I believed I could save you
I thought you believed in being saved too

You've put your mind to see, you're broken
And it scares me to think your heart will shrink from the sadness it's been soaked in

I pray you'll gain the strength you once had,
to build up your courage, take away the sad

So I'll walk away now, leaving you as you are
Praying my walk out doesn't leave another scar

Because I'll never know how to save you,
And I wish so badly I could
So I'll pray to the stars, and I'll pray-you to be happy
But I'll leave you as you are, as I always have should

You've got me sitting in coffee shops writing about you,
Rehearsing the next time I'll see you, even though I know it will be nothing compared to what I expect it to be

You've got me listening to lyrics of my favorite songs,
only comparing the words to anything tracking back to you

You've got me mesmerized, rapped around your finger
You've got me looking desperate for only you

And I wish to God you didn't mean so much to me,
I wish I could let you go

But you'll always be apart of me
Whether I want you here or not

Him
Him
He's not everyone's type of cute, but he's mine
Him
He's not the guy everyone's in love with, but I am
Him
He's not that popular senior that knows everyone, but he knows me, and I'm so lucky to have known him
And even if I only know him for a little while more,
I can say he's him for a reason which is perfect

Was I too shy,
Maybe I was too comfortably loud by the time I said goodbye

Or maybe it was in fact my looks,
Could it be, I wasn't pretty enough in your books

Was it the way that I talked,
Or everything I did
Made you want to leave the table
and forget the fact that I ever looked stable

Because I fall apart often,
And I'm fragile as hell

But you opened me like a book
And I read one too many chapters

Suddenly I've fallen
My imperfections have shown

And it scares me to think my cards are out,
The poker face you have is leaving me with doubt

I've had dreams of the letter, I'd write soon some day
Words read goodbye, leaving my final say

The words that I've spoke, seem to never turn out
And the ink on the paper has left me with doubt

The writings were all, that kept me alive
They took my emotions, out from my inside

The paper looked ugly, filled with the secrets I wrote
And my head had an ache because of the lies that I spoke

But it's all I can do, and it's all you can read
The loss of my voice, the tears we don't need

So try smiling today, and maybe even tomorrow
But it's all I can do, to be free from this sorrow

You were like Winter, you were cold and came too quick
But when Spring arrived, you had gone

Summer came soon after, the slowest season yet
I spent it missing the sweet thought of you,
holding me close as we watched the rain fall that July
But when Spring arrived, you had gone

And we watched the rain fall,
from 6:30 till 2:00
7 and a half hours of pure you
But when spring arrived, you had gone

And now I sit here, begging for the minutes back
All the screams, yells, and tears
Being this sad has always been my biggest fear
And that's what you made me, sad,
In Spring, when you had gone
