Some Days
Ryan Fiore Dec 2013
Some days, I just sleep alone
Some days, I walk a lonely road
Some days, I miss you because you're gone
Some days, I feel pain because you've moved on
Ryan Fiore Dec 2013
I always thought it would work
I took you for granted
You were out of my arms in a heartbeat
Guess that's what you get when you're arrogant
I've tried my hardest to move on
I've tried my hardest not to cry
Because she had me at hello
And she left me at goodbye

How I Feel About You
Ryan Fiore Dec 2013
You ignore my posts
Don't respond to my texts
Don't reply to my tweets
Oh God, what's next?
It's like some days you don't care
And some days you do
But I wonder if you'd care
If you knew how I feel about you
Ryan Fiore Nov 2013
When I first saw you
I thought nothing of it
But then I fell in love
You were all I wanted

But I've taken time
I take up your time
I made up my mind
So I'm leaving today
Hope you find a way

I hope you get what you deserve
Because I don't deserve you
You don't deserve me
You deserve someone you need
And we don't match
Our love was cut in half
We're always apart
So what am I gonna
What am I gonna
What am I gonna do with this heart?

When we talk
I feel disillusioned
You were part
Of my confusion

But I've given it thought
Think about it a lot
No, I have not forgot
You think I don't care
But I'm actually scared
No this love game ain't fair

I will always remember
That one perfect September
We were together
We said forever
Until it ended that lonely November

I hope you get what you deserve
Because I don't deserve you
You don't deserve me
You deserve someone you need
I hope you're treated well
I can break the spell
You ran away with my heart
Love was changed from the start
We're always apart
So what I'm gonna
What am I gonna
What am I gonna do with this heart?

Can I Get a Witness?
Ryan Fiore Nov 2013
There's an awkward silence
As I walk by you
Should I say hello
Or walk away from you?
It's so weird
The way you're treating me
Like I'm a loser
And we had nothing

Should I run?
Who do you love?
Are you lying to me?
Are you over me?
And you hurt me
You broke me
Forget this
So can I get a witness?

You always talk about how you have fun
I bet it was fun to watch my whole entire world to come undone
And I bet you loved it, isolating me
But I'll move on, that I can guarantee

Should I fight?
Was I right?
Are you going on?
Are you lost?
And you left me
Broken down
I can be fearless
Oh can I get a witness?

I'm not dying
Not crying
Not trying to make you change your mind
Not lying
Death defying
Buying all of your time

There's an awkward silence
As I walk by you
Should I say hello to you
Or walk away from you?

Forgiven
Ryan Fiore Nov 2013
I'm playing this game called life
Don't know if it's the right time
You can hear my cries at night
I don't deserve eternal life

I know I don't have the right
Because I sin all the time
I shouldn't fear the devil's bite
I guess I have to fight

I got it the easy way
Cause I won't die today
There's so many out there
They're homeless everywhere

I hate this life I'm living
Cause all I'm doing is sinning
I shouldn't be forgiven
And my God's got me risen
And all I do is play God
I'm not where I belong
I should be in the devil's lot
Can't appreciate all I got

After praising, I go back to that old life
And I start to be someone I despise
It's not fair to Him that I can't commit
I know I gotta change, I'm just so sick of it

I gotta change my ways
Unless I wanna die today
Look at all those children, they're scared
They're homeless everywhere

Oh take my life
Oh take my life
Keep me in this fight
Lord keep me in this fight

My blood keeps getting thinner
All I am is a sinner
I'm not gonna be a winner
No I'm not the grinner
I wish I could change my ways
I wish I could change this place
Get out of my old days
Can you hear what I say?

What You Did to Me
Ryan Fiore Nov 2013
I try to wash away the pain and scars
And the thought of fatality
But they just won’t seem to go away
From what you did to me

All the time, I pray to God
That someday, I’ll be set free
I hope one day, I’ll get my way
You still did what you did to me


I can’t believe you doubted me
You never seemed to care
I always wanted to say something
But never really dared

I hope I’ll be able to breathe again
And see the light eventually
And I've said I’m sorry a million times
Even though you did what you did to me

I wouldn't care if you said
“You mean so much to me”
You underestimated me and pushed me away
Why’d you do what you did to me?

I can’t believe you doubted me
You never seemed to care
I’ve always wanted to say something
But never really dared

I loved you before and that’s a fact
But a million apologies could never bring me back
Now I’m trying to find that open door
To get me to the place I’m looking for

And now it’s time to say goodbye
To everything I lost and see
Anything you say to apologize
Can’t make up from what you did to me

I can’t believe you doubted me
You never seemed to care
I’ve always wanted to say something
But never really dared

I want to believe everything I know
And I just want to leave
But you never wanted anything I wanted
This is what you did to me

I’ve been down that road before
Can’t believe everything I’ve seen
I hated you, yeah, I guess that’s life
You’ll be known as the one who did what you did to me

Then You Drove Away
Ryan Fiore Nov 2013
We met up somewhere
For just a chat
I must say it's been quite a while
Since we've done that
I can't say what I've felt
All those lonely months without you
But now here you are again
So tell me, what's new with you?
I've been good
I've been better
Hey honey
Did you receive my letter?
We had our little talk
Then I had to walk
I wanted to talk more
Instead, I went inside behind that door
What a crazy day
You dropped me off
I had to watch you
And then you drove away

Do You Really Know a Girl?
Ryan Fiore Nov 2013
A girl doesn't want drama
She just wants a guy truthful
A girl doesn't want to be called hot
She wants to be told she's beautiful
She doesn't want to go out all of the time
She's rather stay home in her sweats
And she gets all crazy when you look at her
Even though you both just met
She doesn't need a popular guy
She'd rather date a nerd
It's funny because some people say
That's the craziest thing I've ever heard
But hey, do you really know a girl?

Let My Life Begin
Ryan Fiore Oct 2013
I don’t really believe in aliens
Only the ones in my head
I don’t believe in monsters
Except the demons under my bed

I’m sick and tired of feeling feelings
That I know they’re not
I’m living in a horror movie going on in my head
That I just can’t turn off
I don’t know why I have obsessiveness
It doesn’t really make sense because it’s not like I deserve this
Or do I?

Sometimes I can just drown myself in sad songs
And not even feel a **** thing
Some days I hear a love song
And I’ll cry until I can’t breathe

I’m not writing this to try to get pity
I’m just asking why the hell does my mind
Keep playing on repeat?

This keeps happening to me
I begin to fall
And I’m trying my hardest
To convince myself it’s not my fault

Just thinking about,
I begin to shiver
“Almost over night, my world began to darken
And hope seemed to wither”

Back in middle school, after I said I was depressed,
They made me sign a piece of paper that said I wouldn’t **** myself
But a piece of paper is just a piece of paper
Doesn’t make a difference, can you tell?

Yes, I’ve made some stupid, pathetic decisions
In the past that weren’t so wise
I’m just trying to find the welcome mat into my life

I used to think talking to her was the best thing,
The greatest victory I’m focused on
But it’s been two years and she went away
I’m okay with that so I guess you could say I’ve moved on

All those stupid things I said
Can’t believe I had the nerve
And God ******, I’m sick and tired
Of acting on an urge

One of the reasons this came back to get me
Is because I judge
Despite the fact that I go to church
And they tell me not to hold a grudge

So Father, heal me.
Forgive me of my shameful sins
Just rid me of hatred and all those demons
And just finally let my life begin
I went through therapy for my OCD. My condition, I feel like, was so severe. I was crazily obsessed with people I thought I was in love with. Couldn't think straight. It drove me absolutely crazy. But I'm so thankful I got therapy. It helped me so much. So if you ever don't value your life, please get help. It will be a decision that you'll be glad you made.

It's Definitely Over
Ryan Fiore Oct 2013
I'm sitting on a burning bridge
With not a single urge to move
You threw my hopeless heart in the river
I don't care if it's still in two
I know I'd go back to those days
When baby, I didn't need to recover
But now with this aching heartbreak
Baby girl, you're my sweet nothing

So tell me if you really meant what you said
Or you just weren't thinking right
I think you were playing with my head
Just like you do all the time
If I had a dime for every time
I thought you would actually stay
I'd be sitting on that burning bridge
Throwing my dimes into the gray

I'm breathing in a burning house
With not a single notion to get up
My soul's somewhere under this fire
Oh baby, along with our love

So tell me if you ever really cared
Or it was just a smile faked for my sake
I don't know, should I say a silent prayer
Or just hope God can hear me with all this trouble you've made?
If I had a penny for every time
That you said that you'd stay
I'd be throwing my change into the fire
That's starting to cover my face

I guess our love wasn't set in stone
I guess it never really is
I guess you weren't mine to own
That was just another wish
Or just another expectation at which I'd live
It just wouldn't give

Tell me, is there something I can do
Or am I just supposed to forget about you?
I'm strangled by your loving
I wish I could stop running
And now that I'm finally sober
I say to myself, "It's definitely over."

I Might Be Broken
Ryan Fiore Oct 2013
You built me up
And tore me down
Now I'm forced to put on a smile
And turn my frown upside down

You think love is a game
And you can throw out the words, "I love you"
And sadly I'm your victim
Because you made me love you

But you'll never feel that way about me
You're gonna like that other someone
And that's why I can't breathe anymore
I'm just so wrapped up in your loving

I might be broken 
But I'll find someone else
It's not that you don't love me properly
It's just I can't even love myself

Heart Skips a Beat
Ryan Fiore Oct 2013
Heart skips a beat
Starting to see red
I've made my bed of nails
Now I must lay in it
I'm starting to open my eyes
This isn't no passing glance
I'm starting to realize
That I have no chance

This is tearing down my insides
To the point where I can't breathe
I need you to look me in the eyes
And tell me why the hell you're doing this to me

Are you mad?
Are you ticked?
Am I starting to make your heart sick?
Tell me because I need to know
Are you annoyed?
Are you faking smiles?
Don't want to doubt, but this is getting vile
I'm starting to lose my hope
I'm getting paranoid and nobody knows

You're Fading Away
Ryan Fiore Oct 2013
What happens to a dream
If it doesn't come true?
Will be the truth be revealed?
Will I not have you?
Do our fears lead us?
Do they stay or go away?
Those times of trouble, pain is doubled
With nothing left to say

And I say
You're fading away
My dream, my love
Going away
Will you stay?
Please don't fade away

My dream explodes with anger
What on Earth will I do?
Yeah tell me what will I do
If I don't have you?
If it doesn't come true?
My dream is you

And I say
You're fading away
My dream, my love
Going away
Will you stay?
Please don't fade away

It drags behind me
My thoughts serenade me
Does it eat you up
Til you can't breathe
Like it has to me?
Does it hurt you a lot
Knowing there won't be love?

I can see it
But I can't reach it
I'm chasing after it
After you

And I say
You're fading away
My dream, my love
Going away
Will you stay?
Please don't fade away

What happens to a dream
If it doesn't come true?
Is the truth revealed?
Will I not have you?

Oh How Time Elapsed
Ryan Fiore Sep 2013
I can't remember much
Not even anything
That fateful day, towers collapsed
And yet, we all lost something

A part of us, a memory
It was an awakening
Still that fateful day, I was only four
We still lost something

A father, a mother, a sister or brother
An aunt, an uncle, a grandfather, grandmother
A cousin, a best friend, even a true soulmate
Why'd they do what they did
That left us with that fate?

One day, I thought of something
I hadn't lost anyone I'd miss
But I did lose something inside of me
The fact that God exists

Why would he let them die
To make them suffer through the pain
To make families die inside
Please tell me, who is to blame?

Some were lucky, they didn't lose somebody
But 3,000 families did
But still, I thought to myself
There is a mighty King

There is a true God inside of us
Lots will be missed
Because who else made heaven and Earth
And everything that exists?

If there's a God that we all know
He protected us that very hour
He didn't let us be in New York
To be in a falling tower

He held onto us and told us inside
"Fear not for I am with you"
But we all still watched in despair
9/11 on the news

They heard something crash into the wall
When it fell, they gasped
For air to breathe, a hand to hold
I feel collapsed
And oh how time elapsed

— The End —
