And I'll add this to the list of things that make my bones ache
I just want to give it a go but everything is happening so slow
Dissatisfaction is never displaced when it comes to me
Stop raising your standards so high because I'm tired of having to say goodbye
I don't want my cheeks to turn soggy because I couldn't make yours not
It wasn't my job to take care of you and I've been having such a difficult time taking care of myself that I'm not sure I could handle feeling at fault for not upholding unspoken obligations you passed to my shadow when I was turned around and my eyes got blinded by the sun
Let's start over
I never meant to make you smile when I saw you because I didn't think you'd give it back to me when I gave you mine
But see somehow I'm always off track
This night keeps dragging on and it's been repeating the same tired song
You say love like it's more than a word but there's too many feelings inside me to place what I feel for you in a mere four letters
Maybe I'm scared to say it because I don't think it's real but you make it eloquent and fluid and alive and I never thought I'd say it but I don't want it back this time
I'll give and give and give until I'm all used up and empty but I'm not ready to die don't make me tell you I was never alive
I don't want to give it back you're going to put me off track and take it right back after it's there and then it's gone and it's still the same tired song
I'm sorry I could never just shut my mouth and play along

The search for love should not be played;
what a sick and twisted game
you are forcing me into

I should not have to strategize my next move
in fear you may surpass me
on this ridiculous board

I should be able to move swiftly without thought or worry
about who is winning or losing
Because we will either both win or both lose

No more childs play;
it is time to grow up
because love is not a game

Stop.
Breathe.
Go for a drive.
See.
Admire.
Pray.
Ponder.
Sing.
Dance.
Be spontaneous.
Trust.
Surrender.
Release.
Hope.
Love.
Pause.
Inhale.
Exhale.
Live.

When they come for me, don't make a sound.
Don't try to keep them away, don't lead them around.
Let them take me, I'll be alright,
just hide somewhere and watch from the height.

When they come for me, let them be.
I know it hurts but I don't want you to see
the way my heart hurts and my skin burns
and how the world around me starts to turn.

When they come for me, just stay away.
I know everything looks bad and gray
but after the rain comes the sun
and the world once again turns into fun.

When they come for me, I hope you'll know
how much I love you and your glow
that can make my hear swell with pride
because I know you're always by my side.

When they come for me, I won't be sad
Because I'm happy for all that I had.
The love that we shared kept me from becoming mad
so when they come for me, it won't be that bad.
