There's a missing piece
I've searched a lifetime trying to find
A void I can't get out of my mind
A missing piece
Could it be found in another heart, a lover?
I've looked everywhere, undercover
Constant in my thoughts leads to restless sleep
A part of me gone I yearn to keep
Maybe it's in the space I occupy
Tell myself I'll find it
False lullaby
A missing piece
The puzzle of me incomplete

And if I fall down
Maybe
Just maybe
This world is spinning slow enough
For me to get back on my feet
And maybe the day has enough sunlight
For me to look up and still feel the warmth on my cheeks
And maybe the wind gust will send a chill down my spine
Causing goosebumps on my arms
Just so I could still feel alive
And maybe the sun will go down
And the moon will come up
And the stars will show their light
I will rest my head on my pillow  
Close my eyes with the darkness
Open them with the brightness
The sun is shining again
And the world is still spinning
Slowly

You said you don't want me
You said you don't need me
Love me
Want to spend the night with me
You said why don't you just leave me?
You said you hate me
Want to **** me
Would rather be with anyone else
You said you try to get away from me
Want to leave me
Want to beat me
I said
I love you more than anyone else

I feel as if I'm alone in a field
Army charging at me and all I have is this shield
In this battle I am the only one
Me vs them
I bet you can predict who won
I really did try to change the outcome
But there's too many of them and too little of me
There's water in my eyes they blur I can't see
I put up my hands I put up a fight
Still to be knocked down
In my sight now blue and white  
The clouds are moving fast
The feet around me trampling past
I build up some strength I get to my feet
When my vision is clear I see I'm staring back at me

When can I save you?
I mean that literally
I wanted to save you
Save you from your misery
I wanted to save you from your pain
But I really made it worse most days and
You were Superman
I was Louis Lane
Ironic you were the one that I had to save

You're like a book with a pretty cover
I have yet to open but so eagerly want to read
Your mind has so much for me to explore
Your thoughts and the way you talk
Your heart and the way you walk
I want to study it all
Every line of your existence
And every crevice of your skin
Teach me how to love you
As I mark your words with my pen
Into the memory banks of my mind
So I can never forget you
