Maybe if I close my eyes,
It would hurt less
Maybe if I cover my ears,
It would hurt less
Maybe if put up walls around my heart,
It would hurt less
But maybe if I rip it out of my chest,
It wouldn't hurt at all.

How do you turn a bad week around?

you can think of his smile
how it captured you the first time
you can think of his stares
how they held you even for a while

you can think of the sound of his voice
how it lifted you off the ground
you can think of his laugh
how it turned a bad day around

Or you can remember that night
when all that mattered was time
when all that mattered was him
the one at the other end of the line

you can daydream what might happen next
you can wish for more nights like this
you can hope it’s the start of something
and somehow one day be called his

But you can’t expect it to really happen
he will not be there when you’re down
cause he is someone you can never have
how do you turn a bad week around

I miss you
your breath against my neck
your hands on my waist
your lips on my forehead
your heartbeat against mine
all them stolen kisses

I miss you
your arms around me
your laugh and your smile
your whisper and your voice
your mere presence
all them stolen glances

I miss you
But it doesn't mean I want you back
I miss us
But it doesn't mean I would go back

Yes, I remember everything.

Even things I'd rather forget.

Taboo

Don’t look at me
You’ll catch my eyes on you
Don’t speak when I’m around,
My heart wouldn't know what to do

Don’t go near me
For sure you’ll hear my heart
Don’t smile, not even a grin
You’ll see my world fall apart

Don’t let me fall,
‘Cause for sure I’d fall hard
And when I do,
I’d have to finish what I start.

Don’t let me fall,
‘Cause it’s not the right way to feel
Don’t let me fall now,
Let me only if it’s not real.

Illusions

He can make you smile with his words,
He can make you feel loved through his actions,
He can make you forget all your worries,
But really, he's just a huge distraction.

He can make you feel like your falling,
When your feet never really left the ground,
He can make you forget about crying,
When your sobs and chokes are the only sound.

He can make you feel like you're the only one,
But the next thing you know, he's already gone,
He can make you believe that he'll never hurt you,
When you're already hurting while hoping it's true.

He can make you dream day and night,
He can make you lose when you want to fight,
He can make your doubts go away,
And with one hug he can make you stay.

He can make you believe when you don't want to,
He can make you enjoy the tears you cry,
He can make you wish that it's all for you,
And in the end everything is just a lie.

Unrequited

I took the leap as I saw your arms waiting.
I smile as the fall took my breath away.
My insides tossed and turned wildly.
My heart beat fast and hard, uncontrolled.
It was the first time I jumped.
The fall was long, but it was everything I wanted.
The fall was long, but I knew it was worth it.
You were there when I fell, your arms not held out.
You saw how I fell, I fell hard, face first on the ground.
I was there when I fell, confused.
You were there and you just stared.
