As the sun sinks down.
below the horizon so beautiful.
My heart sinks again,
all you do is take and never fill.

The day has come to an end,
it was wonderful until.
You heard more romours,
and my happiness was killed.

You broke up with me,
said you like another.
What gives you the right,
to rain on my sunny weather?

If you still had feelings,
then you should have stayed.
Made an effort with me,
and never walked away.

You should have been truthful,
instead of sugarcoating with lies.
I would eventually find out,
what is hidden behind you decieving eyes.

You eyes tell a story,
or hurt and heartbreak.
But baby don't you see?
You're making my heart ache.

I love you still,
and I want you back here.
But all you want is friendship,
so I cover my feelings shedding tears.

I never did a thing,
yett you still say I lie.
Tell me to *******,
good night and good bye.

But it isn't fair of you,
to say all that you did.
Act like you really cared,
then walk away again.

Everything with you,
well, it's all mixed up now.
And I can't help but hope,
for it to resolve somehow.

I want to see your face,
and talk to you for real.
Get it all out in the open,
because this is all surreal.

You tell me one thing,
then go back on it again.
I just want to understand you,
you ever-changing man.

Dark as night,
bright as day.
Oh the things,
we throw away.

You know that ****?
thinks he's better than the rest.
Well deep down inside,
he's really just a mess.

There's that girl,
who passes without a try.
There's a girl with two jobs,
just trying to get by.

If only we saw,
if only we knew.
Who these people are,
the hell they go through.

That **** you know,
gets pressured every night.
His friends always ask,
"Hey man, you got a light?"

That girl in school,
who passes without a try.
Well did you know she hurts?
that every night she cries?

And the girl with two jobs,
has no time of her own.
Depressed to the core,
with the scars to show.

When you walk down the sreet,
what do you see.
Smiles upon faces,
masking the pain beneath.

If only we saw,
if only we knew.
Who these people are,
the hell they go through.

When you push I pull,
when you walk I run.
In fear of being lost,
of being the only one.

I never want to lose,
all I've come to know.
I'll do whatever it takes,
so that you will not go.

Tell me what you need,
there's nothing I won't try.
To keep you from leaving,
so that we will not cry.

This is all I've feared,
for you are all I know.
I'll do whatever it takes,
so that you will not go.

I love you with all I have,
even as a friend is enough.
I need you to hold me,
when things get really rough.

No matter what,
we can make it through together.
Like we used to be,
best friends forever.

At the end of the day,
I hope you know.
You're the one I want there,
when the curtains close.

When the makeup is gone,
my true self to see.
You're the one I want there,
to see the real me.

When I am not acting,
in this childish world.
When I am only me,
a beautifully tragedic girl.

It's never so easy,
it's always so hard.
Everyone always complaining,
they were dealt this card.

I do it always,
and I put on a face too.
But I'm always the real me,
whenever I'm with you.

With them it's a face,
makeup and a smile.
In reality my grin,
hasn't been real in a while.

But you make me smile,
my world is bright.
Everything comes so easy,
it feels so right.

Since you walked in,
my life is perfect.
I feel like the real me,
doing everything I was meant.

They see this change,
in the way I act.
But it's only the real me,
that I've so long lacked.

They don't understand,
what I was before was concealed.
Baby this is me,
this is me and very real.

You understand everything,
you understand me.
It's with you,
I wish to forever be.

I promise forever,
I will always love you.
When I am in your arms,
my world is brightened too.

So at the end of the day,
By now you should know.
You're the one I want there,
when the curtains close...

Maybe there's silent satisfaction,
in the way you look at me.
Maybe I think of all the ways,
I'd like to look and be.

Maybe I'd like to be by your side,
and you to never leave.
Maybe I'd like to be alone,
and for now be just me.

Maybe I don't like the darkness,
and I won't dare go in.
Maybe I'll stand with you alone,
and defeat the darkness within.

Maybe all I need is someone,
to be with me always.
Maybe I need to have a someone,
to tell me always.

Maybe I need to be told,
you'll never be alone.
Maybe as long as you're with me,
I won't be on my own.

Maybe I like the look in your eyes,
how they turn bright green.
Maybe I look deep into them,
and I see a better me.

Maybe I like the feeling in your arms,
the deepest security there could be.
Maybe I like to kiss your lips,
and let those feelings overwhelm me.

Maybe I love the way you can see,
exactly how I feel.
Maybe I love the feeling you give,
when it's my heart you steal.

Maybe, just maybe, I need you,
To be by my side.
Maybe, just maybe, I wanna hear,
baby, you'll always be mine.

I'm not afraid,
to stand up this far.
I'm scared to fall,
and be forever scarred.

I'm not afraid,
to walk alone.
But to be forever,
on my very own.

I'm not afraid,
to be in dark,
I'm scared of what,
may lurk in that dark.

I'm not afraid,
to sing aloud.
I'm scared I'll be told,
shut up right now.

I'm not afraid,
to show my poetry.
I'm scared I'll be told,
writing's not for me.

I'm not afraid,
to let trust in.
I'm scared it'll be broken,
and proven wrong again.

I'm not afraid,
of death to come.
I'm scared I won't accomplish.
what I want to get done.

I'm not afraid to love,
and let my heart soar.
I'm scared he won't want to,
and I'll be left unsure.

I'm not afraid to love,
I'm scared to be broken.
To let love in is an invitation,
for the heart to slowly blacken.

I'm not afraid to love,
or to let him in.
Because I trust his heart,
and that's a good place to begin.

I trust he'll hold me high,
but he won't let me fall.
And he'll be by my side,
each time I call.

I trust he'll stand by me,
when I'm in the darkness.
To fight off all evil,
and help clean my mess.

I trust he'll listen,
if I ask him to.
To my singing or poetry,
and whatever else I do.

I trust he'll love me,
unconditionally forever.
And I can put my fears to rest,
and let him mend the weather...

Forever wasn't a lie,
it just all fell apart.
I tried to mend the scars,
left on your broke heart.

But you pushed me far,
and you pushed me away.
Wouldn't let me express,
words I needed to say.

Whenever I asked,
you would say "Not now".
I want this to be fixed,
some way, some how.

If you would only listen,
to the words I need to say.
If you would come with me,
after work some day.

Walk down by the water,
yell if we need to.
Get it all out together,
even if I hate you.

By the end we have said,
all that needs to be said.
Everything will be out in the open,
everything will be meant.

I'm just tired of playing games,
running on a rollercoaster of lies.
I don't want you to leave,
to say a final goodbye.

I told you I would take,
if friendship was all you had.
But one minute it was okay,
the next you were mad.

I want the whole truth,
no more stone cold lies.
I want our friendship adn honesty,
no more awful goodbyes.

Because this isn't right,
and you can't just leave.
We're in this together,
you and me.

You've always been there,
my very best friend.
I won't walk away,
this can not be the end.

So swollow our prides,
let's sit down and talk.
Face to face for once,
by the water on a dock.

The only way to solve,
all that has been done.
The only way to win,
a battle that isn't won.

It will never be fixed,
by just walking away.
Time heals all wounds?
Well honey, not today.

We need to hear,
words left unsaid.
The truth behind it all,
everything that was meant.

Every last truth,
no more lies.
Without pushing away,
no more goodbyes.

— The End —
