They don't understand you.

(You don't understand me.)

Whispers in my ear,
Whispers on the street.

I do my best not to believe.

It's hard to act
like I don't see,
like I don't hear,
like I don't know.

I know the person you portray:
(You know who I pretend to be:)
Stubborn and detached.
(Difficult, but carefree.)

We're both actors
in this play we've designed.
Each thinking we know the plot,
carefully going through our lines.
What we forget is
this play
is our lives.

I could almost laugh
how ironic, the rain,
as if there weren't enough
mocking my pain

The sky completely gray,
my eyes a subtle red,
claim the sun is hiding
like we dont know it's dead,


Walk by and soak me
in a cold lonely smile,
i'll pretend i dont notice,
i'll be staring all the while

Im drowning in my sleep,
dreams of how it used to be,
how painful it is to wake,
lost in an ice-cold sea

Tempted to float away,
turn to envy or guilt,
pretend i dont care,
or die, hoping still,

Im praying to a god
that doesnt exist,
You'll find a way
to love me yet...

Im a dreamer and a mess.
A disaster in a dress.
A ******* damsel in distress.
As this awful poem suggests.

For every sad song on the radio
I hope you think about me,
For every time you said you cared
I hope you’re doused in gasoline!

I hope bugs always clutter your windshield,
I hope the brakes on your stupid car stick,
I hope it’s dark and raining wheelbarrows
And you drive headfirst into the ditch!

I hope the doctors forget anesthesia,
I hope the scalpel slips,
I hope the surgeon’s hands are sloppy
And he cuts something you need to live!

Because I hate you
Like a crayon too short to sharpen
So you have to buy a whole new pack,
Yeah, I hate you
Like that pair of **** jeans
You can’t fit in because you’re too fat,
Oh I hate you
More than yogurt or stale banana bread,
I hate you like only a lover can.

One of your hipster smoker friends
Can put a cigarette out on your tongue,
I hope the ashes collect in your mouth,
The taste of kisses, regret, and poison!

I hope your family disowns you,
I hope your plants all wither and die,
May the road you walk crumble to pieces
Or at least be uphill on both sides!

I hope none of your children turn out to be yours
Because your best friend is better in bed,
And if your honeymoon is with anyone else,
I hope your plane crashes into the Caribbean!

Because I hate you
Like a crayon too short to sharpen
So you have to buy a whole new pack,
Yeah, I hate you
Like that pair of **** jeans
You can’t fit in because you’re too fat,
Oh I hate you
More than sleeping in a hot room with no fan,
I hate you like only a lover can.

She was trying so hard just to keep them together,
It was taking all his strength not to fall apart,
He was trying to remember why he shouldn’t just forget about her,
She was fighting all the reasons why she wanted them to work it out

Cried herself to sleep about the words she couldn’t say aloud,
Couldn’t decide why if she meant it they wouldn’t come out,
Wondering if it would even have made a difference,
He probably knew anyways, long before she ever did

He watched as his words tore the heart from her chest,
Didn’t know what to do as the pain rolled down his cheek,
Delivering every line perfectly,
"Things just aren’t the way they used to be"

Promising, "you’re still so important to me,"
Her response is lost as the audience applauds,
She’s left standing with a gaping hole and a memory,
He walks away with her heart, his freedom, and a song

He cant be himself when he doesn’t know who he is,
She doesn’t recognize herself, but at least she had him,
Now they’re both alone with no hand to hold,
Walking on their own, identity remaining unknown

The deadly deed is almost done
I fell for him and it’s no fun
Like kissing the barrel of a gun
There’s no use trying to run

Pretty words from pretty lips
Petty promises I don’t believe a bit
Darling our love’s a sinking ship
And I’m the captain going down with it

Your playing games has got to end
I heard you’re ******* my best friend            
I feel that now I must depart        
Though I still love you            
Cross my heart
Stick a needle in my eye
And hope to die

There are plenty of fish in the sea
that’s what everyone’s been telling me
But I protest no, they were all killed
Didn’t you hear about the oil spill?

My analogy rings true
For me there’s only you
And if I have any luck
You’ll get run over by a semi truck

Sweetheart there’s nothing I can do
I wish you hadn’t been untrue
Even though we’re apart    
I still love you      
Cross my heart
Stick a needle in my eye
And hope to die

Id rather die a thousand deaths then ever go through this again

Walk into a hornets nest for every word you said that stung me

Stab a dagger through my heart for when your eyes like knives look right through me

Take a shot of gasoline for every tear you’ve made me shed

Crash a car into a building for every time you said you cared

Be buried under rocks for all the dreams that you have crushed

Bash my head against a wall for every movie that we watched

Hang myself with a rope made of promises you’ve broken

Fall into a volcano for leaving my heart wide open

Drown in a sea of every secret that we’ve kept

Put a bullet through my brain for loving you yet

Set myself on fire for every touch that burned right through me

And every place you’ve ever kissed I’d bleed to death from slowly
