Roller Coaster

all your hello's turn into goodbye's.

even my good days are not on my side.

and my horoscope tells me to be strong and fight.

but the thought of you keeps me awake all night.

why can't something so strong be reciprocated.

it's always the same problem and i hate it, i hate it.

but somehow you always convince me you might come around this time.

 

and i try to distance myself, but i only move in closer.

the closer i am to you the safer i feel.

 

Even when i stop thinking about you, i know it's only temporary. i pretend that i've forgotten you until you flood my memory. & i hate myself for this dependent person you have made me become. I can say that i'm over this, promise myself that its done, but though my brain is convincing my heart knows we've only begun.

 

you stop and take moments to look in my eyes.

you know when i'm hiding behind my smiling disguise.

you see right through me, like i'm always so vulnerable.

but you never fail to make me feel like i'm going to be alright.

but that's just the good days until i fall asleep at night

 

then i try to distance myself, but im a rollercoaster,

the ups and downs make me sick at the end of the day.

 

so stop right there, do not make a sound.

i don't want your voice to invade my ears tonight.

maybe if i fled this lingering town,

id have some hope for sleep tonight.
