It's never a pretty sight,
My eyeliner is all a smudge,
These tears I tried to fight,
When you were too quick to judge.

Darkest times never come at night.
With your love I fly so high.
Now I cry for nothing seems right.
I don't want to say good-bye.

You swept me away with your charm,
You blew me away with your love.
Why was it you I had to harm?
God please help me from above.

I wanna be with you through it all.
How can I prove that I'm the one?
On my knees I will crawl,
Just to be your only one.

The moon rests for the day
The sun rises up above
My heart starts to sway
But for now this isn't love

I forget how to breathe
My mind is all jumbled
This I can't believe
And it's all because of him

Bright red is the way I feel
When he is standing by or just around
I can't make it a bug deal
Are my feet still on the ground

I'm falling quite fast and
I'm falling pretty hard
Will this feeling last or
Do I need a guard

I can't wait to see the outcome
But I need to slow down
God I feel so dumb
These feelings will never drown

Will we look back and laugh?
Look at me, tell me what you see.
Is what we're doing right?

We sit here and ignore,
What we feel inside.
What do you adore?
What will you decide?

I feel like failure has overcome,
Overcome all of my intentions,
My intentions to be with you,
To be with you has failed.

One of us will surely fall,
You will never see me crash and burn.
I stand so very tall,
So just stop and take you time.

Losing my breath won't happen today.
One day we will look back and laugh,
When you find out this isn't right.

They told me to pray
But I'm not sure it's enough
How am I suppose to just pause my day
And wish gone the hard stuff

They said that you would be here
All I had to do is bow my head
But you're still up there
And I am close to dead

I was told I just need to believe
What am I suppose to believe in?
It's almost time for me to leave
I'm sorry but I'm about to sin

They said you would be with me
But now the truth I certainly can see

She's falling pretty fast
Why doesn't anyone see?
Her success may not last
Please help set her free

She's starting to hide things
Where's she's been
What she's been doing
You all see it in her face
So why is it you do nothing?

She needs your help
Lend her your hand and heart
Take her by the hand
Don't let her depart

Find something for her
For her to smile at
Just look at her
Find her a cure

One sentence is all it took
No more words could I utter
Out my window I was scared to look
My stomach was all a flutter

I stayed up all through the night
Thinking to myself
"If he were really to come,
Could I put up a fight?"

My eyes started to close, but
I mustn't go to sleep, because
Where I live is what he knows
Why is it he is such a creep?

The morning finally came
I was now able to breathe right
Last night he did not come,
So for now, I am safe

Dear Misery
Leave me alone
God lead me home
Don't forget about me
Don't let me suffer slowly

You've taken so much out of me
Don't leave me by a rushing stream
Don't take me where I can't breathe

My bones are starting to break
And my veins are starting to burst
This pain I just can't fake
My life you have cursed

I have nothing left to give you
Just let go of my hand
My body is going home

Your face is starting to fade
I can now go back to sleep
Step back and take a look
I can't see you
Dear Misery
