Settle down the tone.
Settle down the complications of my heart.
Set away in stone.
Watch it break and fall apart.

Rip it into two.
Mend with super glue.
Left with just a bruise.
And a life not worth living.

I'm depending on me to battle my fears.
I'm depending on you to test me all year.
Switch over and we change the speed within our hearts.
Again you show me you shatter.
Again you show me you don't matter.

Change the speed within this dream.
Make believe and funny like it's supposed to be.
Change for me.
Laughing at all this money.
Laughing at all our faint memories.

Spend it like it's nothing.
Take it all for granted.
Wishing on my patience.
You're around me and I can't stand it.

You make me angry and you rip me apart.
You yell at me when I am low.
You tell me that I am nothing.
Anything other than beautiful.

And you wasted all my money.
On your drinking addiction.
Wishing our love was real.
Seems to me like fiction.

I'm hoping.
And crying.

Stand by me now.

Love me and hold me.
For I'm so fragile.

Bend and break me.
And I snap into two.

Make me what I am.
All the colors turn blue.

Lovely little lover.
Sleeping under covers.
You're sleeping with another.
Thought we had each other.

I was wrong and my thoughts were dead.
Wishing that my thoughts were alive.
Staying here without you.
Makes it so hard to survive.
