Their sins were burned on her arms,
She paid for mistakes that weren't hers,
Trembling hands grasp shaky knees,
Control was slipping.

I'm not the loving kind
I'm the alone type
which is a hard bite
I'm nobody's somebody
so take me if you'd like
nobody's coming for me.

I wanted perfection,
I had unrealistic expectations,
I wanted a happy start, so that I could look back to that "Once Upon a Time"
and not worry, if I was going to ever be "Happily Ever After".
White picket fences, Green grass that caught my fall,
I wanted somewhere that the walls didn't whisper failures,
Somewhere the doorways didn't shake,
But my cards didn't hit the table that way,
and nobody hardly gets lucky on the river.

I'm tired of this back and forth game,
We both fight so hard,
But what for,
I would give anything,
To have you back on my side,
If I begged,
Would you do anything,
Or would you turn back to the door,
I will take all the blame,
Just to see the light back in your eyes,
I don't want to leave,
But if it's really what you want,
I'd do that for you.

If I could stomach the sound,
If I could recognize the words;
Maybe I wouldn't be so broke,
Maybe I could move to
Bigger and better things;
On the ground here I'm nothing,
I can hardly breathe;
In out, in out;
I find it hard to see,
What happen to me;
I become the hate
I told myself wasn't there;
Yell out for help,
I get blank stares
To save me from the nothing,
To teach me to feel,
I shout "save me",
Nobodies there

You can't make plans, you only break them;
Being on time is a concept you don't understand,
All those little quarks,
Those little moments when I look at you and wonder "Why",
But then you say something so incredibly clever;
that has me laughing at your feet,
You taught me how to smile at a time that I didn't have a reason to,
I had never had a friend like you,
I don't remember the exact day you stumbled in my life,
But I know that I'll never forget,
Your high pitched voice and boney hands,
I found you,
And you became my best friend.

It's been a few weeks and the feelings haven't faded,
I was so confident that you'd come around;
I'm not holding on to you because I'm scared for you to leave,
I'm holding on because your the only thing I got right;
Don't make me wake up alone again tonight,
Hoping to be warmed by your touch;
Everything we used to argue about,
Everything we used to do,
I can't accept that your love faded like you said it to,
Believe me when I say, I wish I could stop loving you,
But that's something I'll never be able to do;
It's not your love I'm begging for anymore,
It's every part of you;
If you didn't believe I loved you,
I wouldn't be waiting here for you,
People think I'm crazy,
I'm sure that it's true,
I don't care what people think, I only care about you;
Never have I ever felt the way I feel about you.
