Some people say I’m crazy,
They call me a total nut.
They say I’ve lost my mind
That I don’t know what’s what.
That I am beyond cuckoo.
They say I’ve gone insane,
That I am in a very bad way,
That I’ve got you on the brain.

I’m just in love
It’s a kind of lovely madness.
It is insanity
In a very lovely kind of dress.
It affects everything
Makes me lose my train of thought.
And I do it gladly
Whether or not I really ought.

Other people don’t see
That I hear you in every sound.
Those people have their rules
On the feeling I have found.
They are understanding
If it’s a round of golf or a car,
But this is how I really feel
No matter what their feelings are.

Some love their money,
The massive expensive houses
And some like to cheat on
Their unsuspecting loving spouses.
Some like to belong to
The most exclusive memberships.
I must prefer to listen
To the sound from your lips.

I’m just in love
It’s a kind of lovely madness.
It is insanity
In a very lovely kind of dress.
I affects everything
Makes me lose my train of thought.
And I do it gladly
Whether or not I really ought.

sometimes
i pray for you
not to god,

but to all
the dead poets
we love,

they are all
pretentious pushpin
ghosts, gapping out

of skin
and turning around
to devour,

rumi always asks for me
to listen, and i see
why i pray in the first place

not for your salvation,
but so you can blossom
into the warrior

i know you are
Middy, you are amazing.

Sometimes I just wanna give up
Sometimes I wish I wouldn't write another word
And to some, this scene has never needed somebody like me
Some call me over emotional
Others see it as sincerely devotional
And nothing makes sense to me
I should just walk and leave this be
How do I keep conjuring these verses
When I ain't ever going nowhere.
How can I keep releasing this material
When nobody can even see this as visual
Or me as a complete individual
It's so hard to please
But last time I checked I wrote for me

I wonder if you know
of the catheter that
pierces my vein,
and of the mask
which helps me breathe,
All those endless nights
Wincing in pain.

I wish i could tell you
of how my blood
spluttered when they
pulled out the needle,
but nothing compares to
the pain of how i could
not tell you these things
for you have gone
so far away,
for you have gone
so far away.

It hurts more than
the catheter in my vein.

Just another night
You on my mind
I can hardly sleep
Keep running through
these thoughts
How did we end up here
And I took all the blame
But life without you
It isn't the same
Keep hoping I'll see your name
Light up my screen again

Don't give up
Hold on for love
Got to stay strong
Don't give up
This time she's the one
Can't give in
Nobody else gives you this feeling
Can't give up on us
Can't give up on our love

You said we were fate
I want to believe it
You said we had no boundaries
Think maybe I might have found it
Possibly crossed that line
Looks like we aren't gonna make it
through this situation this time
Looks like I've messed up
And now we are beyond repair
Seems you've  been moving on
Leaving me shattered all alone

Don't give up
Hold on for love
Got to stay strong
Don't give up
This time she's the one
Can't give in
Nobody else gives you this feeling
Can't give up on us
Can't give up on our love

I'm hurting baby
Miserable without you
Can't seem to think
Except for how I lost you
You were all I had
And then I went
and ****** up real bad
I'm looking for a sign
Making wishes that everything
will turn out right
I'm hoping and praying
you'll walk back into my life

Don't give up
Hold on for love
Got to stay strong
Don't give up
This time she's the one
Can't give in
Nobody else gives you this feeling
Can't give up on us
Can't give up on our love
