For tonight just stay with me,
all my words like a plea,
you crawl into bed,
right next to me,
I want everything you are,
I'll just settle to be in your arms,
nobody has held me,
nobody has cared for me,
I've been the provider,
I always give what I need,
You're right next to me,
I finally stop shivering,
You keep whispering things to me,
Your words are soothing to my tensed nerves,
I want to touch you,
just like you touch me,
with that loving feeling
that jolts me back to life,
You're a kind man,
Nothing in you is mean,
You're the safest place I've been,
I don't want to be scared again,
My minds going so fast,
I hear every little beat of your heart,
I start to ramble,
You silence me,
I don't move,
I'm scared for you to leave,
You kiss my forehead.
"Everything's alright".

Fingers glide over keys,
The room is covered in smoke,
My eyes are glazed,
Melodies play quietly,
You're sitting like a king,
Everyone can see you,
But you can't see a thing.

First you start fast,
your fingers going so quickly,
then they slow,
just as brilliantly as they speeded,
Before I know what to say,
your eyes are fixed on me.

The way my hearts skipping beats,
it's so foreign to me,
I swore long ago
not to love anything,
but before I know what I'm doing,
I'm drawing closer to you.

My eyes feel wide,
they're so tired,
I can't blink,
I'm scared you wouldn't be there,
You look so brilliant in this room.

Together we're on a wooden bench,
You're speaking so softly,
You're voice like the song you played,
It's soft and touching to the heart,
I don't know where to start,
I start mumbling,
In an absent place of mind,
I whisper,
"There you are",
Or maybe that's what my heart said.

Your eyes are bright blue,
Your sandy brown hair,
It's taking all my effort
not to show you what I'm feeling,
All I hear is your breathing,
The room is hush,
Then a brush of your finger,
A mindless touch,
It sends my heart flying,
Just like I knew it would.

With my heart beating,
and my mind spinning,
I press my fingers to the keys,
You smile at the noise it makes,
Then you took my hand,
between the thudding in my chest,
I hear quietly,
the words brush against your lips,
"There you are",
Or maybe that's what your heart said.

Do me a favor?
This is a gun,
It has three bullets,
I'll only need one,
One hand around the handle,
One at the base,
I'll give you a minute,
To decide my fate,
Don't take this personally,
You're just who came by,
I don't care who you are,
As long as I die,
Don't think you're a bad person,
You won't do any time,
I just need some rest,
The best kind.

I don't know what to say,
I guess it's just an age,
Everyone cares but us,
They say the gap is insane,
I don't care what they say,
I just know how you make me feel,
How my heart skips beats,
I want your hands with mine,
I'm not running away,
Let the people speak,
Let's show them the truth,
How mad in love I am with you,
Everyone can see.

Summer's almost over,
What's going to happen to us,
I promised forever,
I guess time flies when your having fun.
How'd you find your way into my heart,
How'd you make me love you this way?
I've been trouble since the start,
For you I was changing my ways,
but now as Summer fades;
Do I go back to my old ways?
All the nights you held me,
The nights we got lost in each other,
Did it mean anything to you?
Why'd this Summer have to end.

Will you hold my hand?
Just stay close to me,
Every thing is crumbling,
It's so hard to believe,
I had control,
Or so I believed,
Now I'm holding onto pieces,
Things I'll never get to have again,
So hold my hand,
Nothing makes sense,
I was on top of the world,
Now I'm hanging on the edge,
So hold my hand,
You can stand with me,
We can watch my world crumble,
Piece by falling piece,
If I start to cry, just squeeze,
I'm not who I want to be,
My fingers are still shaking,
So hold my hand,
Maybe I can take this,
Nothing to lose,
Everything to gain,
I might be able to act okay,
But I won't if you let go of me
so just hold my hand.

It’s been ten months and six days,
The pain is still so fresh,
Every day it gets worse,
I never get pass that hill.
I just wish you were here to hold me;
when I cry myself to sleep every night,
On my best nights I lay in bed;
pretend your next to me,
But I open my eyes,
And I can’t go back.
I haven’t breathed a breath of life;
Haven’t felt the slightest pleasure,
Since the day you left this earth,
But you haven’t left my world;
You are my world,
You just somehow left me behind,
I try to let go of the past,
I find myself still holding on for dear life,
You’re the only thing worth keeping,
I wish I could go back,
There we live,
In all those memories,
That’s where I want to be with you.
I’d do anything,
Give anything up,
Just to have you in my arms again,
You made promises to me,
I swear you’re the worst pain,
I’d ever had the pleasure of keeping,
Now I’ll walk my whole life through,
Until I get to the gates to see you,
But until that day,
My heart will be beside you,
Grieving at your grave.
