There's this hope I hold onto,
If the things you said were ever true

But it seems I'm just drinking from an empty cup,
A cup that can never be filled up

Your sweet words weren't just for me,
Is this how it's meant to be?

After everything you said and done,
I should've known I wasn't the only one.

How could one be so close
And so far away?
And always makes you feel
Different yesterday and today?

How could one frustrate you
And also make you smile?
How could one be so nice
And then be so vile?

It makes me think
I'm out of my mind
It's so obvious
I'd think I'm blind
Maybe it's all a big waste of my time

I woke up early morning
With one thought in my head.
“I cannot wait until tonight
When I am back in bed.”

I’m on my second coffee
And still I’m not awake.
I pour a third and fourth cup;
My hands are starting to shake.

Don’t attempt to speak to me
Before the clock strikes ten.
It’s hard for me to form a sentence-
Or even a word - till then.

And if you know what’s good for you
Don’t ask me “where’s that smile?”
I will not hesitate to slap you;
I’m feeling extra vile.

Luckily, this cloud will pass,
It’s just a friendly warning.
So you will know what to expect
From me tomorrow morning.

My dearest Prince Charming, have you lost your way?
The road that you took must’ve led you astray.

You missed a few turns, now your horse wants to drink.
“Was it this way or that way?” And you sit down to think.

Your throat is too dry and your leg has a cramp.
It’s getting too dark, you’ve decided to camp.

The bonfire’s blazing, you’re feeling alright.
You’ll continue your journey when you see the sun light.

Many weeks have gone by and you’re still in no hurry.
I’ve been waiting for you, now I’m starting to worry.

Did you fall off a cliff or drown in the lake?
Did you catch a disease or get bitten by a snake?

My love is still waiting, all gift-wrapped and ready.
It’ll soon collect dust so come claim it already.

We have places to go, and people to see.
Oh how happy together we’ll be, you and me.

Every day I’ll wake up as the sun is still rising.
And I’ll watch till I see you ride up the horizon.

Why do we do the things we do?
I just can't help but to wonder
We're working all through high school

For a career, they say
But when it comes to that
You're still slaving away

But you have to eat
So don't think of quitting
Just work until you're beat

What we call life is a funny thing
We work day after day
Occupying time until death stings.

Broken hearts
Your restless souls
They threw you away
Im sorry

Played parts
In heartless roles
You couldn't stay
I'm sorry

Nez Percé Chief,
I didn't betray you
But was forcefully taken
I'm sorry

My hopeless grief
Nothing I can do
As theirs, I'm mistaken
I'm sorry
