Collin

< I was going to call this something else, but since I'd already used Collin, it was handy; the other name just wasn't right, and if a name doesn't just come to me, then I know I'm not going to be able to think of one. Consequently, I changed the song as well as the title. Just so you know, this has absolutely nothing to do with me, other than the fact that I wrote it.>

Lights out,
Despair hangs over me like a dark cloud.
Did you just call my name?
How could that be;
You said you'd never see me again.
I'm dreaming,
They're sweeping all our mem'ries from the street.
I'm having trouble falling asleep-
I wish you'd come and talk to me.
Collin!
You left me all alone!
Collin!
Now where will I go?
Collin,
Don't let the devil get my soul,
Even if there's  nowhere else for me to go.

Dancing,
I'm sure that we are dancing once again.
I was so scared;
I thought it was the last time I'd hold your hand.
Muddy boot prints,
From when you chased me down the hall.
Or am I just conjuring up proof,
Proof that you loved me at all?
Collin!
You left me all alone!
Collin!
Now where will I go?
Collin,
Don't let the devil get my soul,
Even if there's nowhere else for me to go.

Dark beer,
I've never been drunk before.
Are you really here, or am I just staring at the door?
Dusty books,
I haven't read them in a long time,
'Guess I thought I didn't need their stories anymore,
'Cause I was finally living mine!
Collin!
You left me all alone!
Collin!
Now where will I go?
Collin,
Don't let the devil get my soul,
Even if there's nowhere else for me to go.

Alarm clock,
Ringing in my ears,
And I thought,
You voice was the only sound that could bring me tears,
Young dancers,
Don't let them near me,
My heart's still yours-
I'm not really free!
Collin!
You left me all alone!
Collin!
Now where will I go?
Collin,
Don't let the devil get my soul,
Even if there's nowhere else for me to go.



How Do You Tell Somebody No?

< Don't ask me! I have no idea! No idea how you tell someone, and no idea what I'm talking about in this song, actually.>

REFRAIN:
How do you tell somebody no,
After they've already asked you twice?
How do you tell somebody no,
When they're the one making the sacrifice?
How can you refuse something,
When you're the one who feels like they know nothing?
I don't really know...
But somehow I told you no.

I wasn't really thinking about you at the time,
So when you walked in, it was really a surprise.
You asked if I was feeling better 'bout the other night;
I could tell you were still hurt just by looking at your eyes.
REFRAIN

How do you tell somebody no,
After they've already asked you twice?
How do you tell somebody mo,
When they're trying so hard to be nice?
I hadn't realized that you cared so,
Otherwise I might have started caring too.
Maybe next time it won't be as painful for you,
Already knowing my answer will be another no.

I suppose just one dance shouldn't be so hard,
I guess that saying yes might have been okay,
So why did I fell like it was going too far,
And why did I have to push you away?
REFRAIN

You're Still Crying

I thought you said you were gone,
But I thought you were all along,
And even though,
I was all alone,
You picked up your phone,
And I wasn't expecting you too.
So why do you keep lying?
What is it that you're hiding?
What is it that I broke into,
And I wasn't even trying?
And you're still crying,
But you're the one who left me all alone.

I though you told me to forget,
So why is it your eyes are wet?
I'm doing fine,
Till you cut the line,
And I don't drink wine,
But you're drunker than the drunker ought to.
So why do you keep lying?
What is it that you're hiding?
What is it that I broke into,
And I wasn't even trying?
And you're still crying,
But you're the one who left me all alone.

You're not apologizing,
And we're not even fighting,
But then what,
Have you got,
To be upset about?
You claim you've got no regrets,
But I don't really believe that.
I know the kind of tears you're crying.
So why are you lying?
What is it that you're hiding?
What is it that I broke into,
And I wasn't even trying?
And you're still crying,
But you're the one who left me all alone.

"I've moved on long ago now,
Just thought you ought to know,
There's someone new,
And she's not you,
I'm over you,"
But you don't seem to believe yourself.
So why are you lying?
What is it that you're hiding?
What is it that I broke into,
And I wasn't even trying?
And you're' still crying,
But you're the one who left me all alone.

I could live without you, it's true,
But if you wanted I'd go running back to you.
You said that,
It's over,
But your heart's still stuck,
On forever.
So why are you lying?
What is it that you're hiding?
What is it that I broke into,
And I wasn't even trying?
And you're still crying,
But you're the one who left me all alone


< Haha, actually, now that I think about it, the only reason I posted this is because I like the refrain. X)>

Did You?

You never really thought about it,
Did you?
Well, how could you?
You never really thought about it when you were asking,
All about things,
I told you,
I didn't want to talk about.
I bet it never crossed your mind.
I know it never crossed mine...
You never really thought about it,
Did you?
Well, how could you?
'Bout what  you'd do if you lost the better half of you.
It never really crossed my mind,
That you'd attempt something so near suicide,
It just didn't seem like something that you'd do.
How could you?

Never Ever Change

Don't change on me,
The world is so different already.
I need someplace steady,
To set my feet.
Don't change just yet,
I'm not ready forget,
The way things are right now.
Oh, it's sweet Spring time,
Sipping pink lemonade,
And a friend in the crowd,
Stands up just to say,
"Ooooh,
All I want is to never ever change,
Ooooh,
All I want is to never ever change."

Don't change on me,
What's happened to your personality?
I need someone steady,
To hold my hand.
Don't change just yet,
Or we'll begin to forget,
The people we are now.
Oh, it's sweet spring time,
Sipping pink lemonade,
And a friend in the crow,
Stands up just to say,
"Ooooh,
All I want is to never ever change,
Ooooh,
All I want is to never ever change!"

Don't change on me,
Things have grown so different already,
I need something steady,
To lean upon.
Don't change just yet,
There's too much you might forget,
That's precious to you now.
Oh, and it's sweet spring time,
Sipping pink lemonade,
And a friend in the crowd,
Stands up just to say,
"Ooooh,
All I want is to never ever change,
Ooooh,
All I want is to never ever change,
All I want is to never ever change.
I want to never ever change."
Never ever change,
Never ever change,
Never ever change.
