I like to forgive and forget
but if I forgive I can't forget
'Cause something still lingers
Because by forgiving
I let you back in
So forgive me for not forgiving you
But don't hold on to this forgiveness
Because I'll be forgetting you
Gwen Johnson Oct 2013
I've seemed to fallen
In love with your words
But you're not your words
I was deceived at first
Then I felt like a fool
Because I cried over you
When I only knew your words
Gwen Johnson Oct 2013
I wish to be a lullaby
A soft sweet tune
To lift the dread
And lull you to bed
I wish to be the singer
To sing for you
And hold your hand
As you sort out the day
I wish to be something you learn to love
Gwen Johnson Oct 2013
These happy little thoughts
Stretch on and on
Through the night
Eyes closed tight
Electronic beeps
Waking me from my dream
I'll be back before you know I'm gone
Half the day in daydreams
Away
Far away
In these happy little thoughts
Gwen Johnson Sep 2013
It's been about 8 years
8 years since you've been gone
I know too well now that everyone dies
Everyone goes
Everyone says their final goodbye
Everyone takes their last breath
And are out of our sights
But when you died I was 6
I was a foolish little kid
I thought goodbyes never lasted that long
I thought that goodbyes couldn't last 8 years
And on
Gwen Johnson Sep 2013
Can I help you get back
Back to where you belong
You've been placed the happy ones
Mistaken with cheerful
Oh it's a shame
They can't even see your tears fall
You're not annoying
You're not mean
You just want some attention
They ignore you
They cut you off
This isn't where you belong
You don't belong here
You don't belong
Gwen Johnson Sep 2013
I think I'm addicted
To this sad song
Because it reminds me of you
You're the touch of happiness
Surrounded by the sadness
Of knowing you'll never care about me

You're the melody
Everyone loves
I'm a lone note
No one would know was gone
You're loved
I'm not
So let the sad song play on
