I'd write a love poem
But i don't have anything to say
Because love left home
And died during it's escape

With no way of revival
It never really felt safe
In this house of games
And frivolous ways

You say i broke your heart in two
Well, you shattered mine
And refused to come help pick up the pieces
Now, who needs more help?
Me or you?

Failure is my motivation
But success is my greatest fear
And the lies that are whispered
Will always land in my ear

So the pen shall rest silent
And the paper will be blank
You'll probably cry bitter tears
I'll just laugh through my pain

It rained on my birthday
You would have known if you came
Such a grim day
But i couldn't complain
The clouds in the sky looked especially gray
So, i decided to run away
And dispose of all of my pain on the way

I don't have a beginning
But i know the next part isn't it
So listen to my words
It'll only take a bit

Now, i'll admit my life isn't that great
Sometimes i gotta shake the Magic 8 Ball ti'll i get my ideal fate

The future is blurry
Misfortune waiting at the gate
I just don't know how long it's gonna take

For my life to tip off balance
Because my perch is extremely precarious
I'm at the penultimate stage and it's getting pretty dangerous

Our lives have changed
I won't say i'm still the same
But please don't ever feel like you're the only one to blame

Look at me
Take one good, hard look
I look fine
In reality, i'm dying

Dying so slowly, i can barely feel it
Yet every breath i take
I know i'm getting closer to my end

And i hear so many stories
Terrible tales
About people who never did amount to anything
And they never did smile
When they passed, it was seen as a blessing

I don't want you to cry when i leave
But i want you to know
With astounding certainty
That i left the happiest i could ever be
And i did everything i wanted

So, i promise i will
And you'll be proud of me
And you'll smile at my memory
Because i'd frown if you cried

He is a beautiful day
Bottled in a beautiful soul

With a smile that makes the gray sky blue
And deep hazel eyes that feel like sunshine on my cloudiest days

When i'm around him, i just feel like rain
Pessimistic and forever in his way

We are the weak ones
Kicked around, misunderstood
I'm just the girl
With desperate written all over her
And you're the boy
With your heart pinned to your sleeve
Collecting wishes for your jar of remorse and looking for self-esteem

Every day it's getting harder to keep fitting in
I'm looking into the house i'm supposedly living in
Being shut out
Kept out
Do you really not want me?
What if i disappeared, then you'd truly be sorry

And i could cry
Yeah, but what would that do?
That's just for suckers with broken dreams that won't ever come true

I'll always be to blame
Please, oh please, don't ever change
My life is hard but you're the one thing that always keeps me sane

She thought she was one step ahead
But life was passing her by

She believed in the fairy tales
Thinking she was the princess
But someone else was sporting the crown

She said she never cried
But here she is
In front of him
Sobbing violently

Because now she knows
The truth
And it's ugly as ever
