The clock strikes three
No place I'd rather be
Allow me to say something
It's heartbreaking to see
What we've created is gone
Now, we're moving on
I'm tattered and torn
Before my heart is reborn

The sky looks ****** with something to say
Clouds have gathered
Rain drops fall on my feet
Oh boy, what a wonderful day

Stir my soul
Not my goal
Face my fears
Leave no tears
Time ticks by
Your heart won't lie

She's looking for a place to start
Everything feels so different now
Since the day he's broken her heart
For her heart ached in her eyes, she could not disavow

A city of blinding lights
An archipelago of unearthed minds
Take away the tension
Let the creativity flow
No matter the darkness of this road we go
There's always a great story waiting to be told

Under the vast night sky,
Blanketed in darkness
You're the only star I see
Perhaps my only glimpse of happiness
Only to remind me
A lot can change in the blink of an eye

Words unspoken
Her heart is broken
Stubborn to quit  
Her love for him was far too great
She couldn't admit

As the world comes crashing down on your face
I'll be here to give you a warm embrace
That's where you'll find me
You won't have to chase

The air feels heavy
My lungs can't take the weight
My sight is getting blurry
It's getting late

I'm lost and a wandering soul
With nowhere else to go
Am I getting old?
Or just waiting for uncertainty to unfold?

There is a time
When silence isn't quiet
It's getting harder to breathe
My heart is in a constant riot

Life's on a merry-go-round
Wherever I'm going
It's spinning in circles
I'm finding my way around

Dusk has fallen,
And the day is done
The sky is receding,
For the night has just begun

****, you say
Laugh, you make me
Cry, I break you
Anger, you fear me

Her emotions run dry
She's out of tears to cry
The sky looks grey
As if it's got something to say

She longs for his love
Consumed by desire and lust
Even when ashes turn to dust
He's the only thing she thinks of

I gave my heart away only for you to break
My world becomes so empty since the day you went away
So you think our love was a game for you to play
But I didn't think this way
I loved you to the moon and back, for heaven's sake

The lights are blinding,
My temperature's rising,
I'm walking aimlessly with nowhere to go
Everything around me starts to go slow

You're the reason why we went down in flames
It was killing me inside
I tried to hide the pain
I took things in my stride
Until you put an end to this game

When you left me,
I felt like dying
What happened to the love it was supposed to be?
My world becomes so empty
It's time to fill this space with a new memory

Don't promise me forever
I just want us to live in the moment
And love each other one day at a time
Because it's now or never

I don't say a lot of things
Not because I love you less
Who knows what the future brings
You're my precious, nonetheless

As the day fades into night,
Where the stars shine bright
They mingle, they dance like clusters of delight
A quiet evening beckons me
With a glass of red and a nice cool breeze
That gently caresses my face
To ready myself for a good night's embrace

Every branch of a tree has its turn
No matter the edges or the curves
It's always a story we will learn
Give this tree the love it deserves

The buds awoke and began to grow
Beneath the soil, onward they go
Force nothing and let things happen
Just like life, go with the flow

Set yourself free.
Let yourself go.
Let the lights shine bright.
It's hard to be dull in the darkest of the night.
My heart is broken, with words unspoken.
What's broken cannot be unbroken.
What's joy without pain?
They say that the best kind of love is insane.
Instead, we hurt each other over and over again.
We could pretend that everything's going to be okay.
Deep down in our hearts, we know the pain's going to stay.
Let's keep our heads up and laugh in each other's embrace.
So we can walk away with grace.

Your wound seems to take a while to heal
Got hurt young, and now you're older
Trapped in solitude, built a fortress of fear
Stuck in the past with days turning colder

You look like a mess right now
Emotions have run dry
With no tear left to cry
Let me hold you, if you allow

Your heart looks like it wants to bleed
Drifting out of nowhere
Grieving the loss of hopes and dreams
I will tell you all the things she never did

I'll be gentle as I can
It's hard to love someone again  
Let it go, let me hold you tight
I will show you what it feels like to be loved again
For you're safe in my hands

You are...
A song I can't get out of my head
The words I never said
The love I never had
A memory I can't forget
Everything I regret

I'm standing alone here
In a crowded place
I can't see your face now
My heart begins to race

I'm standing alone here
My mind is an empty space
Slipping at the edge
For there's nothing left to erase

The past's been written
And the ink ran dry
The future's uncertain
Time's going to flash past us
In the blink of an eye

I've been told before
That it's typical of me to talk about our past
Fraught with shadows of our lives
Stricken with love and lust

I've been told before
That I'm broken
Time is going to heal the pain
So I could love again

I've been told before
That I'm a fighter
Clothed in courage
Who's ready to take the stage

Paths less taken
Faces with no souls
Voices unheard
How many hearts have been broken?

Torn and tattered
Hair dishevelled
Hatred and lust, they bind
With their souls left behind

So many wasted nights
Of endless fights
Unspoken words
Need I say more
We're no longer what we used to be before

Your eyes are filled with lies
I just realised
I'm not complaining
You're just a lesson I'm learning

Please believe me
It's all you can say
Just to make me stay
This isn't easy
While I just want to be free

Step off the edge
Live life a little
Caught in waves of uncertainty
Shrouded by self-pity
Drowned in empty hopes
But you won't crumble

Take a walk on the edge
Feel your fears tremble down your spine
The storm may rage, the thunders will clap
Amid the darkness
The light in your eyes will shine

Life goes on
My heart is torn
Lungs ripped apart
Where do I go with my broken heart?

Life goes on
I feel so small
My heart just wants more
Still, I have to stand tall

Forget what you know about love
you didn't know what pain felt like
till you got your heart broken and crushed
the day someone left you,
your world started to fall apart
you were left alone to heal your broken heart
until someone comes along
to love you for who you are
to catch you when you fall
to adore all of your edges, embracing your curves and imperfections
He promises to give all of him to you
Everything you wanted comes true
That's when he tells you that it feels like home with you

Put your hand on mine
Wrap your arms around me
Our love need not hurry
Because love should be free and easy

We don't need to worry
Our love is always simple
There's no need for a change
It's simple as it should be

You're my sweetest downfall
A beautiful mistake
Breaks my bones
Still, I'm standing tall

I know that we have not been the same lately
I know that there are times when I look at you
I feel like I barely know this person anymore
What hurts me is that you probably feel the same too
And there's no other way than me struggling to keep us alive
While your heart's somewhere else

One word from you
It's all it takes

One word from you
Whether or not, we can catch a break

One word from you
It's okay, my dear
We make the most beautiful mistakes

On nights like these
I thought that I was doing fine
Just when I could love again
It's a pity, you're not mine

On nights like these
I wish to hear your voice  
Yet, I couldn't
Not by choice

If there's no tomorrow,
I don't know what will follow
Life is going to take me by surprise, grab me by the hand, and whisk me away to an adventure I never had
This is where I'm going to break free and be the real me
So I decide to break up with my fears, leave my insecurities behind, and elope with my passion, to marry the life of my dreams

Sometimes,
When we try to look for answers, it leaves us with more questions
Sometimes,
When we overthink everything, we suffer from nothing but depression
Sometimes,
We make sense of our surroundings by holding onto things we believe in
Sometimes,
We just have to let go of we've been
Sometimes,
We're just tired and need somewhere to begin

Caught in a riptide
Lost between my head and my heart
Hair disheveled and a wounded pride
All these roads lead me back to the start

Holding my breath
And count to ten
My heart left me by a quiet death
Just to feel alive, once again.

Life can be strange, sometimes
One way or another
It makes no sense, yet it rhymes

There’s no way of telling
Where our lives are going
Well,  then don’t stop trying

This one is for the dreamers, the Walter Mitty(s), star-gazers
People who never stop going after the infinite possibilities in the world
No dream is too big,
Keep your head up and follow what you believe in
Nor the dreamer is too small
Never stop chasing everything you've imagined

If your eyes could speak
The way you batted your eyelashes robs me of my insanity
I try to pull myself away from you
But your beauty just throws me intro frenzy
Darling, my curiosity is piqued

I've been searching
For the right words to say
My heart's aching
For you to stay
Since the day you walked away

As she prepares to turn in for the night
A fleet of thoughts ran across her mind
There's this urge to slap her visions to reality
But her life hasn't been kind
A road that's been weaved with struggles, stitched with pain and healed by tears
Hell yeah, she's going to be alright

Under a sky full of stars,
Here I am,
Standing alone,
With no expectations of the world.
For I'm just a simple girl,
Looking for something to believe in.
Because I don't know where to begin

The days are getting shorter
The nights are getting longer
Time to rest my heart a little
Onward to the next chapter, my dear

You and I
We made a pact
Someday, we'll run into each other again
By then, we're older, smarter and better
Should time permit,
Just call my name and I'll be there
Right now, I'm letting go of you
It's time for you to do the same
For you're my favourite hello
And my hardest goodbye

Till our love runs out
There's nothing you can ever doubt

Till our faith runs dry
My actions will not lie

Till our hope fades into nothing
It's love, not war we're making

I always have this voice in my head
It tells me to go with what I believe in
My dreams are my future, they ain't dead
I knew what I signed up for, right from the beginning

You're the first person I think about
When I wake up in the morning
You're the last person in my mind
Before I go to sleep
Thinking about you is where my nightmares have vanished
So my sweet dreams can begin

Hold me tight
Let's not fight
We only got tonight
To make things right

We don't have forever
It's now or never
To cherish and to hold
Till we grow old

You're leaving
It's time to go
The engine's running
I knew this day was coming
Your mind's made up
About leaving us behind
For a new place to begin

I've got this big map in my head
Pondering over which route to take
I've always wanted a perfect life
Hoping to be someone's faithful wife
I try not to worry about making mistakes
Keeping my head up even when my heart breaks
If life was meant to be perfect
"This is too good to be true," I would have said
