Can’t even see my own reflection,
been standing on this windowsill so long
My spine spits curses at the moon.
I’d break the glass with a clenched fist if it would
bend my perception that much more.

Stop the lies,
there's other things to do,
better things to do,
just break the ties,
leave it all
until it safely dies,
leave it all
for someone else.

Compelled to let go
I want you to know
there is no other way
there is no better way.

There's not much honor in dying
even if you're fighting, at least trying,
save your giving
for the living.
I'm just a station on your way
I know I'm not your lover.

All I want is to watch a movie right now
and for you to hold me.
Because effort's just not worth it anymore.

one of these days I'm gonna say something crazy like I like you and you'll do something crazy like stay.
I absolutely oppose this
Whistling and waiting by the phone,
I love it when you call.
When my phone yells out a ring
my heart pounds and almost stalls.

Down the road, my usual route
I see a car like yours.
My eyes get wide, teary eyed,
I ask, "Why can't that be hers?"

Out in public, I see your back
the feeling of love starts to burn.
Behind my mask, deep down inside
I know it's not you if they turn.

Back at home, all alone
my feelings cling to tears.
Hope is what I run on
since you've been dead for 20 years.

We could have been in all the other worlds across
the galaxy exploring what makes you happy the most,
But i can't right now..
We could have traveled a hundred miles on our way to
freedom like the angels would allow us to enjoy them,
But i can't right now.

I was so lucky to embrace the parts of your skin that i touched
while i was in your presence thinking about how this is a rush,
caring about you like the sun giving its rising warming peace,
i hate when you're gone , but at last i want to do is believe,

I Can't right now,
it's too good be true lord , I Can't right now.

I'm so over thinking
got pain in the brain  
still refusing the pill
the doc does recommend to think now and then
but is not a big fan of over thinking again and again and
I say keep your advice - re
calibrate that device
Love is when you understand
that she doesn't understand
everything you assume she understands.

But love fails
when you feel
that she won't understand
and decide not to make her understand
because she for sure understands that
and choose to overlook it as a misunderstanding.

I hope you understand!!
