a sunset
is still a sunset
even through a broken window
right?
a girl is still bright and colorful
even if she is broken
right?

i was a saint
and you were a sinner
a sinner providing temptation
for an innocent saint
tempted by your promised gifts and glory
i feel under your spell
and soon after
the saint became a sinner, too

from the beginning of our lives

we are pure

we are innocent

until you get your first scraped knee

or broken bone

your skin and bones are no longer pure of imperfection

these imperfections go from one thing to another

one by one

you slowly become more and more impure

until one day

that boy

the boy you thought loved you

loved you the way you loved him

gets what he wants

taking your last form of purity from you

and leaves

leaving you with impaired judgment

you are no longer pure

you are imperfection

do you think about me
like i think about you?
all alone, or in a crowded room?
when the world is quiet
but your thoughts are loud
are they screaming thoughts of me?

do you miss me
like i miss you?
when you're surrounded by friends,
do you wish i was there too?
or when it's dark
and you're all alone
do you wish you could call my phone?

never good enough
never good enough for the one you thought was enough
never enough for the rest of the world
even with your pretty face and long hair
that still will never be enough
never good enough
you will never be good enough

red embers fill my mind
as the memories of you go up in flames
and fill the sky
with what could have been
but will never be

liar, liar
pants on fire!
you lied again?
oh god, a fire!
put it out before anyone see
oh what a shame it would be
if anyone were to see!

liar, liar
pants on fire!
once again, another lie?
that won't fly!
pack your things and head for the road
those habits are getting old

you've done it again
making me feel like
im worthless to no end
now I can't sleep
because your memory haunts me
in my dreams
and drives me insane

You love him
but he loves her
what more could you do
than envy the one
that took his heart
from your hands
she's happy now
but he is not
because his heart belongs
to the girl
he didn't actually want

this is me letting go

Letting go of the the good and the bad

The past, present, and future

Letting it all go

The past did not last till the present

And there will be no future

For you and I

This is me letting go

Letting go of the happy and the hurt

The lies, regrets, and resentment

Letting it all go

The lies made me regret and resent

But I must forgive and forget

All about you and I

This me letting you go.
