My mind is a torn up town
It can turn my smile into a frown
In 1,2,3 seconds
And I keep counting
To keep myself from thinking
…
Sometimes I say «shut up»
Out loud, and people see my eyes drifting
Far far away
Cause my mind is my worst enemy
…
And people say «tomorrow will be a better day»
That would be easy if this disease was just a mentality
Some days I wake up
Thinking it was just a nightmare
Until it comes creeping in
Telling me this will forever be a part of me
…
But I’m a fighter, and I’ll fight that part
Cause I won’t let this be the death of me
And I pray
Please don’t let this be death of me
…
My mind is a torn up town
I wish you could believe me
When I say
There’s a real war
Playing inside my head from the moment
I wake up

Easy come and easy go
This is a material world
More than anything else
Reality is the view from my room
And my dreams are a torn up town
You give yourself to this world
Or you can let it all go

I keep scrolling through my socials
Like they have a significant meaning to my life
Obsessively looking at someones elses night

I keep dating guys
Who don't believe in love
Thinking somehow I can change their mind

I keep daydreaming
The days, the years are piling on
And I think back to simpler times

I keep hearing a ticking sound in the back of my mind
Whispering to me, to dance freely in this ordinary life
The timer's set
From the second I first opened my eyes

we met 2 years ago
on a casual tinder date
a few years apart but I could care less
you had brown hair and bright blue eyes
and a smile to die for

I said "what do you want" after a few times
"nothing serious" & "you're too young" was your reply
well that was before you had changed your mind

now, easy come and easy go
nothing's for free in this world of hope
you give and you take, and sometimes it just doesn't work out.

Sometimes I still think of you
Sometimes I still cry a river over you

There we were
In a world of full of pretend

When the distance
And life got between us

But we said we still wished each other the best
We still love each other, not even a little less

You know that is mutual love and respect

The leaves are falling
For new ones to blossom
And then they were just.. gone
But not you and I
We stay here.

When there is real love
There is nothing more real
Than me & you
Like the world is breathing
Just for us.
