All of the times you
Lay in bed
Wishing you were elsewhere
Admiring people who
Yearn for realty, being
Somebody they hoped they would be.

None of the things you
Ever thought would come from such
Vast options are proven to be
Everlasting and will always
R**emain part of your self.

If you could only unsee the things you wish you never saw.
If you could only unhear the things you wish they’d never said.
If you could only unsing the song you knew you didn’t mean.
If you could only unlove the ones who hurt you like there never was.
If you could only untouch the souls of the people you moved.
If you could only unsmell the scents you’d otherwise never forget.
If you could only untaste those lips upon your own.
If I could only pretend not to be..

I can’t say I don’t care because I do,
But somehow where I need to be is without you,
You say I’m cold, tell me I’m a shrew,
It couldn’t stop what I already had to do.
I can’t believe you never had a clue,
Didn't understand those times that were few.

Repetition leads to unknown
Levels of knowledge so low
One would think there was no ground beneath
Giving up the world for one thing
Would leave you alone eventually.
If absolution is what you seek,
Hide out.
There is no such thing as everything,
There is no such thing as nothing.
And no one can be both.

Not the end you expected from such a great beginning
You just didn't realize what happened in the middle
Of it all.
I easily picked up your life in my hands,
Later smashed it against the curb,
Your words, not mine.

I'm sorry I broke you,
I'm sorry you didn't kiss me like you meant it,
I'm sorry about your relationship with your mother,
I'm sorry you have no respect for authority,
I'm sorry you don't really appreciate music,
I'm sorry you left me one night to go get high,
I'm sorry you hate me when I'm moody,
I'm sorry I,m better off without you,
I'm sorry you don't want me to go,
I'm sorry I'm through with being sorry.

They’ll all marvel at the fact that we’ve made it through,
Dumbfounded by the reality that I’m still with you.
Though it doesn’t surprise me at all,
I knew when I met you, that I’d soon fall
Hard and deep,
I know I’ll keep
You in my thoughts
And I won’t soon have forgot(ten)
Ways to say I love you?
I can’t think of more than a few,
Je t’aime, Ti amo,
But you already know.
