I don't know where I'm going with this,
I guess I think they're some useless words.
If you don't really mean them.

Saying them would be a waste
Once you think about it.
Since you don't mean them...

Pass the glass please,
I need to drown these thoughts out.
To take a breath of fresh air.

Sun-shiney days, so far away.
Rain is pouring outside,
It makes me feel so relaxed.

Your side of the bed is empty
I have room again.
I can feel at ease....

I miss you

We find ourselves always weaving a web of lies
Hiding behind in the despair we wish to vanquish.
Painting faces, painting personalities.
To try and make things right.
But who is to say it's not wrong?
We walk down the wrong roads,
Trying to find ourselves,
But it's not really us.

Dreams remain unfollowed,
Hopes are forgotten,
Everything is just a memory.

Reality is just the faintest remark.
Everything is so ideal.
Masks are real faces,
Costumes are everyday clothes
No one is living in Reality.
Just webs of lies...

Tired, exhausted
But we don't need sleep.
Silence keeps us awake
Minutes turn to hours
the hours to days
Time seems useless
Our goals becoming futher
We work harder
Tear ourselves apart
To finish what we started
Nothing ever seems to go right
We don't give up
Even in our worn out staggering
We continue in our labor
Only to please ourselves

I've been hoping for a way
To show you who I really am
Inside this shell I've made

Tell me how, how can I be
Something that means everything
To you, 'cause I wanna be
Everything to you

You can stay if you want to
I'll try to write a song,
So we can forget the world
outside that is so fake, so fake

You can stay if you want to
I'll try to name all the stars for you
In hopes it'll ease your mind
Cause the world outside is so fake

I get lost in your eyes,
While you tell me about your day
You smile when I say it'll all be okay

Play my heart like you play your guitar
Make me everything that's been good so far

You can stay if you want to
I'll try to write a song,
So we can forget the world
Outside that is so fake, so fake

Write a melody that'll make me hum along
It doesn't have to be a love song
As long as it can be our song

You can stay if you want to
I'll try to name all the stars for you
In hopes it'll ease your mind

I'm in love, I'll tell you everyday
I hope it makes you stay
I hope you know you're everything
You're everything good that's happened to me

You didn't fit in,
It wasn't something you could ever do.
You never were good at
Putting up walls.
Or mending them.
But you always held your head high.
You'd rather create distance
Then keep communication.
You knew you could always do better.
But why did you light it up?
Why'd you let it all burn down?
You know you had it all
Cause in my eyes you were perfect,
Til' you met him.
You let him get the best of you,
He didn't think you were worth it
I do, I'd take a bullet for you,
I'd take a whole round.
Honestly, you're my best friend.
I admire so many things in you.
Why'd you let him get you down?
When we know you had it all
Before he came around?
