she was broken,
so i tried to fix her,
but in the process,
i fell,
and hurt myself,
we tried to fix each other,
but in the end,
we're just shattered glass,
in each other's hands.

HOW CAN YOU TELL ME I'LL GET OVER HER WHEN THE ONLY THING I CAN THINK OF IS THE WAY HER SMILE BRIGHTENS UP HER FACE AND WRINKLES THE CORNER OF HER EYES, HOW HER LONG HAIR FALLS DOWN HER SHOULDERS AND BACK, I'VE BEEN DRINKING TO FORGET HER BUT THE ONLY THINK I'VE ACCOMPLISHED IS FORGETTING MY OWN NAME BECAUSE NO MATTER WHAT SHE'LL ALWAYS BE IN MY MIND, THE WAY WE USED TO SAY "I LOVE YOU" AND HER LOVE FOR BANDS, I'LL NEVER GET OVER HER BECAUSE SHE'S THE LOVE OF MY LIFE AND I CAN'T BEAR WITH THE PAIN THAT SHE MOVED ON AND I'M STUCK HERE SMELLING THE FADED SCENT OF HER PERFUME.

You were so captivating,
so beautiful and smart,
your eyes hypnotized me,
so I let my guard down.

I let you see the side of me,
that nobody has ever seen,
I let you mend my heart,
and pepper kisses all around.

You're the funny type,
and like to joke around,
but you took it too far this time,
and stabbed my heart with your laugh.

I still love you after all,
and I hope one day you'll regain my trust,
but I can't risk it,
I won't say a word,
I'll act like nothing's wrong,
because I can't bear with the thought of losing someone,
who once repaired me from head to toe.

I still feel those butterflies,
That big smile still grows on my face,
My legs get all shaky,
and like a paper ball I fell.

I'm in love with you.
I'll always be in love with you.

I love the way you smile,
the way you laugh,
the way you talk,
the way you move,
the way you love me.

I'm in love with you.

Our love is beautiful like stars,
but even stars have to die.
And I don't want it to end.

I'm in love with you,
and I hope this lasts as long as it can,
because I can't let you go.

She's my angel so please don't take her away.

All those nights by myself,
waiting for someone to care.
I left reminders on my skin,
that said everything I believed.
I cried myself to sleep,
and tried to get over it,
trying to blame someone else,
just to end up blaming myself over and over again.
I waited for someone to care,
someone to love,
someone to save me.

she was lighter
and he was cigarette

she needed him to feel worthwhile
and he needed her to feel the flames

but just like every lighter
her light ran out

and just like every cigarette
his fire died

and just like that
they forgot who they are
