Don't Be Sorry

So you can't come;
It's okay.
Sometimes things just 
Go that way.
So you were wrong;
Don't worry.
You can't know
Everything.
REFRAIN:
Don't be sorry;
Don't you cry.
It's enough
That you tried.
I love you,
And that won't change.
It's not your fault
Things worked out this way.

We make mistakes;
It's okay.
You aren't the first
To be afraid.
You have to leave;
Then you can go.
I won't be mad;
You aren't alone.
REFRAIN

So what, I'm hurt;
So are you.
None of your guilt
Can change the truth.
Don't be sorry;
I'm not mad.
I'm sorry, too,
That you feel like that.
REFRAIN

The Siren's Tale



I thought that I love him,
The I thought that I loved you,
Now I think that I'm in love
With someone else.
I keep making mistakes,
And I feel afraid
Of myself.
REFRAIN
I keep calling them in,
But then I throw them back
In the sea again;
I'm afraid to keep on trying.
I feel like love is dying
At my hands.

I've given up on love,
But I long for it so much
That I keep jumping back in
With someone else.
I warn them about me,
But they can never see;
Their guard's down.
REFRAIN

I should hurt for them;
Spare anyone else the pain.
I think that they're all liars
Who say love's a game.
All this searching's no fun,
And it isn't easy...
I'm sorry...
REFRAIN

The Last Thing I Ever Said Was Goodbye

(I don't remember if I already had any lyrics in mind, but I think this portrays the basic idea of what I wanted to say with this song...)

You're gone now, 
So far away, 
And I'll never see you again. 
I said goodbye; 
I didn't know. 
I couldn't find the words 
To let you go. 
I'm sorry, so sorry;  
I wish I'd known what to say, 
Some meaningful words 
Before I sent you away. 
REFRAIN
The last thing I ever said was goodbye;
The last thing I ever said was goodbye.
No I love you,
No remember to write;
I would have said more,
But nothing felt right.
I'm sorry, so sorry;
The last thing I ever said was goodbye.

You're up there, 
Somewhere, 
Somewhere that I can't see. 
I never thought- 
I didn't think- 
Anything could take you from me. 
I let you leave 
With only that; 
No 'love you more'; 
No 'please come back.' 
And now you're gone... 
REFRAIN

I write you letters 
That I don't send; 
I let down someone
That I called my friend. 
My mistake; 
Mine is the blame. 
Mine the regret; 
Mine is the shame. 
I can't look back without shedding tears; 
Without you here, how will I get through 
The coming years? 
REFRAIN




Song Of The Day

(I have no idea what I originally had in mind for this title, so I'm just making it up as I go along... :P)

I haven't been sleeping lately;
I've been too busy dreaming lately. 
Dreaming or worrying or hoping; 
They're all the same thing. 
They're the song of the day; 
They're the song of the day. 
I haven't been eating lately; 
I've been too busy grieving lately. 
I've been grieving with a smile on my face. 
I don't know why; I don't know why.
I just can't cry anymore on the outside.
That's the song of the day; 
That's the song of the day. 
REFRAIN
So help me sing
Something else;
I'm breaking down,
I'm fading out.
I'm not scared to die;
I'm not scared to try.
I'm just afraid to be forgotten
Like I was never here;
I'm just afraid of losing
Everyone that I hold dear.
So what's the song of the day?
What's the song of the day?

I shake your hand, or I kiss your feet, 
But neither one feels right to me. 
They're both the same thing; 
Too close and too true, 
Too real and too new. 
They raise too many questions; 
I guess I just don't know how I feel. 
I'm not used to being close; I don't feel real. 
I don't know why; I don't know why. 
I just don't show affection on the outside. 
That's the song of the day;
That's the song of the day.
REFRAIN

I miss you; you know that I miss you, 
But I don't call, and I rarely write; 
I can't bare the goodbye, 
I can't bare the goodnight. 
That's the song of the day. 
I haven't been speaking lately; 
I guess I just don't know what to say. 
I'll spare you my words if I can spare you pain. 
But I don't know how; I don't know how. 
I feel like everything I do causes you pain. 
That's the song of the day;
That's the song of the day.
REFRAIN

Firing Squad

( I want to remember to edit this later; it doesn't really make sense to have a refrain when there's only one verse. :P )

You declared me not guilty;
You told me that you'd help me through this.
You told me that you loved me,
Knowing that I didn't believe it.
You smiled that smile,
You wrinkled those eyes;
You held my hand,
And told me lies, all lies.
REFRAIN:
So WHY?
Why, if you meant it all,
Why did you join the firing squad?
WHY?
Why did you push me up against the wall,
And point the finger at me?
WHY did you say it
If it didn't mean anything?

The Goodbye Will Be Gone

You broke your heart;
Split it in two.
Forgot your favorite song;
Alright, I'll write a new one for you.
We're moving on...
So turn up the volume,
And we'll drive all night;
Put your sunglasses on,
We're heading for the sunrise.
Kiss yesterday goodbye,
And let yourself forget;
The goodbye will be gone
When we reach our exit.
The goodbye will be gone;
The goodbye will be gone.
And when they welcome us
They'll say,
"Welcome to tomorrow
Today."

Someday The Rain (I'm Without You)

Here I lay,
On the ground,
All my mistakes around me.
I'm not okay,
I know the rain,* 
Someday the rain,
Will come
And wash you all away;
Wash you all away.
But I'll still be here
Wondering
Who I am
Without you.
REFRAIN:
What am I going to do
Without you?
What am I going to do?
I'm without you;
I'm without you.

Here I lay,
I can't get up;
I'm surrounded.
What's that you say?
Am I okay?
Well, no;
What do you think?
Can't you see I'm crying?
Someday the rain
Will fall on my face
And wash my tears
Away,
But here I'll stay;
Here I'll stay,
Still wondering.
REFRAIN




*Someday?

Entwined

You saved the goodbye for last;
I guess I knew we'd never last,
Even though you said that we would,
I kinda knew we never could.
You tore our hands apart,
Like shredding a piece of art.
We used to be connected at the hip;
You used to touch me with your lips.
We were beautiful, baby,
We were beautifully good.
We were entwined.

You saved your goodbyes for last;
I guess I knew you wouldn't* make it fast,
Even though you said you would,
I kinda knew you never could.
You tore your hand from** mine;
You pushed me off of the high wire.
We used to never be apart,
But them you went and broke my heart.
We used to be beautiful;
We were beautifully entwined.
We were beautifully entwined.
We were beautifully entwined.
We were entwined, baby,
We were entwined,
Entwined,
Entwined.

You saved the goodbye for last;
I guess I knew you never really loved me
Like that.
Even thought you said you'd never leave,
You are; you're taking your love away from me.
You tore your hand away
When I begged you to stay.
You used to be here;
You were mine.
I guess I wasted so much time.***
We used to be joined at the hip;
We used to touch, lip to lip.
We were beautiful, baby.
We were so beautiful, baby.
We were entwined.
Our hands;
They were entwined.
Entwined.
Entwined.


*you'd never?
**out of?
***You wasted so much of my time?

I Wanna Make You Smile

You were running with your dreams in your hands,
You fell down and they scattered;
Now you can't find them.
You lost everything you had
But the mem'ries, which have all gone bad.
All your well thought plans have crumbled;
You were flying high, and now you're humbled.
I wish I could make you smile;
You haven't done that in awhile.
Come on, get back on your feet;
You're gonna be okay, just listen to me.
REFRAIN
Come on, it's gonna be okay;
Welcome, welcome to today, today.
I wanna make you,
Make you smile.
Get up, you're gonna be alright;
Be glad, be glad that you're alive.
I wanna make you,
Make you smile.
I'm gonna make you,
Make you smile
Today, today, today, aaah.
Welcome to today, today, today, aaah, aaah.

You were flying high when your airplane crashed;
You left a scar in the ground
That's still tracing your path.
You were the only one on board;
They all left you, broken, scarred, and torn.
You were sailing smooth when your ship went down;
They took the life vests; no one* to be found.
They left you all alone,**
Clinging to your*** phone.****
I wanna make you, 
Make you smile;
I'm gonna make you,
Make you smile.
REFRAIN



*Not one?
**So I guess that/looks like you drowned?

Sometimes Not (Waiting For Your Letter)

I'm waiting for you letter;
The one you said you sent.
We've been writing to each other quite a lot-
But sometimes... not. Sometimes not.
I'm waiting for your letter;
The last one that you wrote.
You know that I love you quite a lot-
But sometimes... not. Sometimes not.
I don't know why.
I guess I
Just hate you sometimes,
Because sometimes I even hate myself,
And she loves you.
I want you.
I don't need you.
I don't even need myself-
I just need to run away.
Maybe then you'd be okay, be okay-
But... sometimes... maybe... not. Maybe not!
I'm waiting for your letter;
I'm waiting for your letter.
I could wait forever-
But sometimes... not...

The Staircase

( Just posted this elsewhere, but it hasn't posted it yet because it has to be reviewed first. Anyway, here it is on SAB. You guys get to see everything, whether it's posted elsewhere or not. Hope you like it! ;) )

I'm standing on an invisible staircase,
A wiggly-wobbly staircase.
I try to stand still,
But to stay on my feet I must move.
Sometimes I climb up the staircase;
Sometimes I fall down the staircase;
Sometimes I'm pushed down the staircase.
I meet friends and family and foe here;
I play, work, and learn here.
Sometimes I think that it's blue;
As blue as ocean, sky and tears.
Sometimes I think it's red;
Angry and passionate; uncontrollably fierce.
Sometimes I think that it's yellow;
Like the sun, bubbling over with happiness.
Sometimes I think it's white, and calm,
And sometimes black as death.
I feel on this staircase;
I feel everything.
I feel for me; I feel for you.
I feel confused about what I should do.
I cry here; I lie here;
I pray and testify here.
I eat here; I sleep here;
My friends and I meet and greet here.
Do you feel like you're on a staircase?
I'm on an imaginary staircase.

My Mind

( I originally posted this elsewhere and forgot about it. But I love it, and found it, and want to re-post it here. :) )

My mind is like a little house,
My peers break into.
They rearrange my furniture,
And the cabinets rifle through.
They throw things out,
They put things in,
And erase the writing on the wall,
And by the time that they walk out,
It's not my mind at all.

My Music

(This might have come out a little harsher than I meant it to... :P Anyway. I don't own these pictures. If they're yours and you'd like me to remove them, please let me know, and I will. Thank you! )

You sound like a fool
When you tell me what to do;
What music to listen to...
You tell me what to read,
What to wear and what to eat,
Who to love and who to meet.
Man, that's not cool;
Why don't you follow your own rules?
I'll pick my own music;
You go back to school.
I don't care what you think,
'Bout Taylor Swift or Anna Nalick;
It's my walkman;
You don't have to listen to it.


If you don't like my songs,
Then you don't have to read 'em.
I gotta put my feelings somewhere,
So why not in a song?
This is how I vent;
No one's makin' you sing along.
You don't have to read
All the books on my shelf.
You don't have to like my
Friends or food or clothes;
I'l like them myself.

You sound like a fool
When you tell me what to do;
Man, I won't do it.
What music to listen to;
Man, that's not my music.
You sound like a fool
When you tell me what to listen to;
But this is my walkman,
And I'll listen to it.
Yeah, this is my music,
And I'll listen to it.
I'll listen to it.

Throw Your Stones

( I don't own this picture. If it's yours and you would like it removed, please let me know, and I'll remove it. Thanks! )

I did it for you,
So don't call me names;
I'm not asking for notice,
Praise, thanks, or fame.
Just don't yell at me,
Question, complain, and criticize.
You would see how deep it cuts,
If you would look me in the eyes.
I don't want to play your games;
I'm about to give up.
I didn't want to lose you,
But I have heard enough.
I'm warning you, 
Before I go;
If you want me to stay,
Think before you throw your stones.

I thought I loved you,
But do you love me?
I'm not asking you for much;
No sympathy.
Just don't knock me down;
Have you nothing else you can do?
You used to be my hero;
Did you know I looked up to you?
But it's not okay to say
All the things that you do;
I will not let myself die
So I can cling to you.
Don't say sorry;
I wouldn't go
If you'd only think
Before you start throwing stones.

Oh, if you love me
Then why would you say
All of those things
To cause me pain?
If you want me to stay,
Then why would you do
All of those things
I'd never do to you?*
I don't wanna leave;
I don't wanna go,
But if I'm gonna stay,
Then I need to know
That you'll think before
You start throwing stones
At me.

*That friends don't do? Lovers don't do? Kind people don't do? Good people don't do?

Afford The Pain (Hello Again)

( :P I guess for me this is sort of a mix of a bunch of things. The ending, though? I have no idea where that came from. This was originally just supposed to be another friendship song.)

It's already five o' clock,
And I just don't know what to do;
Everything I ever loved
Had something to do with you.
I don't want to forget
You're beautiful smile,
Or all those good memories,
But were they worth the pain
Of goodbye?
REFRAIN:
Goodbye, Goodbye,
I said;
Goodbye, Goodbye,
You said,
Til our paths should
Cross again.
Goodbye, Goodbye;
We just fool ourselves.
Goodbye, Goodbye;
We are by ourselves.
Oh, I don't know if
I can afford the pain.

It's already been five years,
And I just can't stop missing you.
I've gotta get out of here;
I've got nothing left to lose.
But why should I forget
All the memories,
When the painful goodbye is
Now a permanent part
Of me?
REFRAIN

I don't want to say hello;
Won't tell anyone hello again.
Everyone I ever loved
Has had to go away;
Everybody I loved.
I am done with friends;
I can't say goodbye again.
Oh, but maybe I'm wrong;
What if I am?
REFRAIN

Well, it's five o' clock now;
I'm writing a letter to you.
Just what you made me promise
I'd remember to do.
Everything that I've loved,
It points back to you.
And so you may be gone now,
But I don't want to lose you.
I won't lose you.
REFRAIN

Hello again;
I have to believe.
We'll cross paths again,
You and me.
Hello again;
I just can't give up.
I'll finally tell you
That I'm in love...
Hello again.

Your Face

+Alena Grobien  I know this will make you laugh:)
(I don't own these pictures. If they're yours and you'd like me to remove them, please let me know, and I will! Thank you! :) )

REFRAIN:
Your eyes are like the stars burning in the sky;
I can feel them burning, burning into mine.
I feel like you can see right through me;
Every single thought, every memory.
I'm not sure it's a feeling I like,
'Cuz I'm not the kind to ever open up.
I just know that I like you,
And maybe that's enough.

So follow me; we're racing to the tracks;
When we get there we can just collapse.
And I'm laughing, 'cuz I thought
That you were only my friend,
But now I never want you to let go of my hand.*
REFRAIN

Your nose wrinkles when you'er laughing with me;
You're smile's gonna be my favorite memory.
Your face is a beautiful thing;
'Speci'lly when it looks at me.
Boy, I never thought someone could fall in love with me.
REFRAIN

Keep holding my hand as you walk me home;
I don't ever want you to let go.
Please forget about your phone;
Don't listen to it ringing.
If you touch it then we'll no longer be alone.
REFRAIN

Let me tell you things that no one else knows;
Let me unboard all of my windows.
Let me take the rusty lock
Off of the door on my heart;
One look in your eyes, and I never want to be apart.
REFRAIN

I never dance, but you make me want to;
You can wash away my midnight blues.
Just take my other hand, boy;
Just tell me what to do.
You can make your whole family and me rock with you.
REFRAIN

You fit me just right, like a brand new shoe;
I only want to hold hands with you;
Only want to see your face.
Promise you'll never leave;
Promise that the only girl you'll ever love is me.
REFRAIN



* But now I never want to let go of your hand?

Not Enough (Make You Smile)

I'd do anything for you;
I'd break my back if you asked me to,
But sometimes life is tough,
And I look to your eyes,
But it's "Not enough,"
They seem to say to my surprise.
So I keep trying to please you,
But all the while,
I wonder if anything I do
Will ever make you smile.

I've always looked up to you,
But you never notice what I do.
It's in vain to try to please you,
But try is what I do.
Your eyes are always on me,
Telling me that I'm no good;
That everything won't be enough,
Even though it should.
Still I always try to make it worth your while,
Though I think I may never make you smile.

It's Okay To Go

I'm writing for you in the dark
The things you say you must never
Forget.
But I need more to work with than just empty words;
How can I trust you when you've given me so much
Regret?
And you tell me it's because you need me so;
You need me so, so, so,
I just have to stay till life lets me know
When it's okay to go, to go, to go.

I'm sitting on a floor so hard
I can't seem to think clearly now;
It hurts.
You're gone, it's dark, and I don't understand at all;
If you're so wonderful, why'd you have to say so?
It hurts.
And you tell me it's because you need me so;
You need me so, so, so,
I just have to stay till life lets me know
When it's okay to go, to go, to go.

I throw things out, and cut my hair.
People may stop and stare at me;
Oh well.
I can't seem to get rid of the memory yet,
But I've tried all that I can think to do, and I'm
Not well.
And you tell me it's because you need me so;
You need me so, so, so,
I just have to stay till life lets me know
When it's okay to go, to go, to go.

Here (I Need You)

If you know somebody,
Please bring them here.
I need a savior
Who can end my fear.
I still need you here
When I'm at my best;
You always called me dear...
This is not a test.
I still need you here
When I'm at my best;
If it wasn't this bad,
I'd give it a rest.
And here is where I am,
And here I am alone,
And here I am afraid,
And here I need a hand;
Here I need your help.
And here I need you, friend.
I need you here;
I need you here;
I need you here.

Pensive

He stares at me with a thoughtful eye,
Till I couldn't ignore him anymore. 
I turned to him, and he looked at the sky,
But I asked what he was staring for.
He tried to deny it;
He tried to hide it,
But I pressed on,
And if if weren't for that, you wouldn't have this song.
REFRAIN
I can't help but notice,
You look so sad;
You look like you've been treated bad.
All the storm clouds are in your eyes,
Waiting for solitude, for a chance to cry.
Oh, I promise you can tell me;
Who hurt you?
You're so pensive, pensive, pensive;
Why are you so pensive, pensive;
Such a pensive girl?

I laughed at him, and said he was wrong,
But the storm clouds returned when he had gone.
When I turned around I found a bare wall,
Where his photo once hung in the hall.
I tried to deny it;
I tried to hide it,
But I could find it,
So I pressed on,
And if it weren't for that, you wouldn't have this song.
REFRAIN

During my search for my one true love,
I found a tear-stained child in the corners.
I asked the child why she was crying so;
She said, "I'm not; I'm a great warrior."
She tried to deny it;
She tried to hide it,
But I pressed on,
And if it weren't for that, you wouldn't have this song.
REFRAIN

When I didn't give up, she soon changed,
And from where she had sat, a beast arose.
I didn't understand, and tried to run,
But the beast came down and seized hold of me,
And it turned out to be
My own denial,
And my own fear,
And if it weren't for that, this song wouldn't be here.
REFRAIN

I need help;
I don't want help.
Pensive, pensive, pensive,
Pensive, Pensive,
Pensive girl...
I need help;
I don't want help.
Pensive, pensive, pensive...
I'm pensive, pensive,
A pensive girl.
I need help;
I don't want help.
Pensive, pensive, pensive,
Pensive, pensive, pensive,
Pensive, pensive, pensive...

Baby Girl Or Baby Boy

( Seems like an appropriate-ish time to post this, since I just found out yesterday my god-daughter is a BIG SISTER now!!! :) )

Mmm, love you forever,
BAby girl, or baby boy.
Mmm, love you forever,
Baby yet to be born.
Ooh, and I don't know who you are yet,
But when I do, I'll never forget.
Ooh, and I don't know who you are yet,
But when I do, I'll love you forever.
Mmm, love you forever,
Love you forever, baby.
Mmm, love you forever,
Baby girl, or baby boy.
Mmm, love you forever,
My pride and joy.
Ooh, and I don't know who you are yet,
But when I do, I'll never regret.
Ooh, and I don't know who you are yet,
But whoever you'll be, you're the one I'll hold.
Mmm, love you forever,
Love you forever, baby;
Love you forever,
My baby girl or boy.
Mmm, love you forever,
Love you forever,
Unborn baby.
Mmm, love you forever;
Love you forever, baby.
Love you forever,
Baby girl, or baby boy.

Movie Theater Line

( I liked this song... I don't like it as much anymore. Whatever. Just note that, like most of my songs, this is completely fictional, despite the fact that I do know someone with the name Jesse. Or Jessie. Or something. This song has nothing to do with them; unfortunately, when I decide I want to use a name, I use it, whether I know someone with that name already or not. What can I say? I like names. :P )

I take back
What I took back
When I said "Never mind;
I thought you were someone else.
I'm sorry I cut in line.
I'll see you on Sunday;
Until then, goodbye."
Jesse, you knew what I was saying,
You knew what I was saying,
So I wish that you would say,
"The pleasure is mine;
I'd stand by you any time."
Next time I try to say
Goodbye.

Apology To An Old Friend

You can say you were around,
But we never spoke,
Unless, of course, you count
Passing occasional notes.
I forgot who you were;
I forgot who I was;
I forgot whatever it was
That made me think I was in love.
I was broken inside out,
And maybe you were, too;
I didn't want to hurt you,
But I hurt you no matter what I do.
I'm sorry for what I did;
I know it wasn't right.
I hope someday you find a girl
Who knows how to treat you kindly.

Just Don't Let Me Think About It

We're unofficially more than just friends;
When we cross the street, you hold my hand,
And somehow I feel safe within it;
Just don't let me think about it.
I tell you things my mom doesn't know;
I talk to you, and just lose control.
I trust you too much not to talk about it;
Just don't let me think about it.
You're the only guy I'm comfortable with;
I didn't know love felt like this.
I feel safe when I look in your eyes,
And I can't help but smile.
I'm so scared to be scared away
From the first person who's made me feel this way;
I don't want to talk myself out of this;
So don't let me think about it.

I'm Only Here For You

You say it feels like the end of the world;
You say that you're falling apart.
You say that you're only a girl;
A girl with a new broken heart.
That may very well be true,
But I can't fix it.
There's not much I can do,
But you can tell me all about it.
REFRAIN
I'm only here for you;
I'm here for you.
You know I'm
Only here for you;
I'm here for you.
You know I'm
Only here for you;
That's all I can do,
But it keeps me alive,
And if it makes you smile,
I'm here for you.

You can't speak because you can't stop crying,
But you try to apologize.
Dry your eyes and don't feel guilty;
It's not your fault he said goodbye.
If you want to talk, I'm here;
There's not much I can do,
But you can tell me all about it.
REFRAIN

Wonderful You

You know you're not as wonderful
 As they say you are,
And you wish that they'd quit it.
Can't they see that it's your life,
And they don't have to live it?
All they see's the smiles
 And the sunshine;
They don't notice the scars
 And bruises like a punchline.
They don't know you're hurting;
They can't tell you're breaking
From the inside out.
They all wish they could be you,
'Cuz you're so wonderful;
They can't even imagine
What they'd do
Without Wonderful You.

You know you're not as wonderful
As they say you are;
You believe they're jsut teasing.
Can't they see your brain is broke,
And that your heart is bleeding?
All they see's your kind-hearted actions;
They don't notice all the guilt
And dissatisfaction.
They don't know you're lying;
They can't tell you're dying
From the inside out.
They all want to be like you,
'Cuz you're so wonderful;
They should start considering
What they'd do
Without Wonderful You.

One Day (Circumstances)

One day,
Look in the mirror,
On a bright, sunny morning,
In your own safe home,
With a smiley sticker
Stuck to the surface.

Then,
On a dark night,
Driving through a shady part of town,
When there is a spider
Crawling across your car window,
Look at your reflection in that.
(Please- not when you're the driver.)

Compare these two.
Funny how different
You can be
In a change of light;
In a change of
Circumstances.

Soul Creeper

( I do not own this picture, and honestly, it's kinda creepy... I really just posted it here to make it clear what this song was really about. So, I don't care who you are or if you own this picture; if you want me to remove it, let me know, and I will do so!!! Thanks. :) )

Creeping in the dark,
His pain is his lark;
You think you've been enlightened
As your noose is being tightened.
This is more than a broken heart;
It's a broken, broken soul.
There's a Soul Creeper,
And he won't let you go.

You thought you'd move on,
'Cause you found someone new,
But you can't make a lie
Out of something that's true.
This is more than a broken heart;
It's a broken, broken soul.
There's a Soul Creeper,
And he won't let you go.

The tears in your eyes
Can't put out the flames;
You're curled up by a bottle of pills,
Clutching a picture frame.
This is more than a broken heart;
It's a broken, broken soul.
There's a Soul Creeper,
And he won't let you go.

There's nowhere to go
Where the world isn't crazy,
So some of us hide in dark corners
'Til someone saves us... maybe.
This is more than a broken heart;
It's a broken, broken soul.
There's a Soul Creeper,
And he won't let you go.
There's a Soul Creeper;
It's a broken, broken soul.
There's a Soul Creeper;
It's a broken, broken soul.
There's a Soul Creeper;
It's a broken, broken soul.

Everything But Tears In Your Eyes

You've got everything but tears in your eyes;
So this is when we finally say goodbye?
We made it this far,
And I was starting to think we just might have a chance.
But I'm starting to see
The good things never last.
I wanted to believe
That you would never leave,
But all those dreams are fading fast
As you pick up your bag and say it isn't me,
I can only nod,* because it's clear to see,
You've got everything but tears in your eyes.



*?

More Than Just Love

REFRAIN
There's more than just love that can break your heart;
I know, I know, I know because I know you.
There's more than just love that can break your heart;
I know, I know, I know that hate can do it, too...
Any number of things can do it, too...
I know that hate can do it, too.

You walked into my life,
And you walked out again.
You've got my head spinnin',
'Cause I can't start over;
I can't start all over again.
I know, I know, I know I can't start over again.
REFRAIN

It only took a sec
To know you were in pain,
So why'd you have to go
And hurt someone again?
You went and hurt me once again.
I know, I know, I know I hurt all over again.
REFRAIN

There's more than just love that can break your hear;
I know, I know, I know because I know you.
There's more than just love that can break your heart;
I know, I know, I know that hate can do it, too...
Any number of things can do it, too...
I know that hate can do it, too.

It's not that I love you;
I just can't not miss you.
Not that I understand;
I miss how you hate me,
And I miss how you confuse me...
I know, I know, I know that I just can't miss you, too.
REFRAIN

Don't ask me to explain;
You never did for me.
I don't mean to confuse,
But I feel confused, too;
Don't lie and say you miss me, too;
I know, I know, I know that I just confuse you.
REFRAIN

There's more that just love that can break your heart;
I know, I know, I know because I know you.
There's more than just love that can break your heart;
I know, I know, I know that hate can do it, too...
Any number of things can do it, too...
I know tat hate can do it, too.
Oh man, I don't really hate you;
I can't really hate you anymore.
Oh man, how much I miss you;
I can't lie to myself like I lie to you...
Oh man, hate can do it, too.
Hate can do it, too.

Darkness of the Blind

(*Sniff* If you don't like sad songs, just skip this one. I have no idea what made me write it. Also, it's another old one, so it's not as well written as some of my other songs, IMHO.)

REFRAIN:
Funny thing is, I've got no memory of that,
And you keep bringing it back;
Images keep flashing in my mind,
Of things that you claim I left behind.
And I wish that it was true,
'Cause I think I'm in love with you,
But when I search all that I find
Is the darkness of the blind.

I woke up in a hospital bed,
And on my lap, there lay your head.
In your eyes I spotted tears;
Enough to last a thousand years.
My finger wore a golden band,
And I noticed another on your hand.
REFRAIN

They talk to me like a little kid;
Their eyes speak of things their words keep hid.
They tell me that I was in the car,
When a drunkard drove a little too far.
They give me drugs to kill the pain,
But I still feel the pain of this fog in my brain.
REFRAIN

You show me pictures of our stranger child;
Your eyes are those of a man gone wild.
I say I'm sorry I can't help you,
But I don't remember if what you say is true.*
You look so sad as you walk away...
All because of someone who shouldn't have driven that day.
REFRAIN


* But I can't remember what you want me to?

Just Friends Again

( This is an old song... I've hesitated to post it, because I thought it was kind of... I dunno... weird. :P Now I'm just like, "whatever." So, here it is. Worth a few laughs, or a few tears, if nothing else. Like I said. Whatever.)

Boy: Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful,
Soft, good, wonderful, kind;
Love, not love, love, not love...
Anyone could be beautiful;
Anyone could be good,
So even though you are,
It's so hard to be sure.
Just friends again,
Just friends again;
We're just friends,
Again, and again, and again.

Girl: Precious, precious, precious,
Sweet, silly, happy, smart;
Love, not love, love, not love...
Just what makes one precious?
Just how are you sweet?
One minute I feel so certain,
And the next I just can't be sure.
Just friends again,
Just friends again;
We're just friends,
Again, and again, and again.

Both: Difficult, difficult, difficult,
Hard, painful, scary, sad;
Love, not love, love, not love...
But why is it so difficult to leave?
And why is it so hard to say goodbye?
There are lots of good scary things,
But* it's still hard to be sure.
Just friends again,
Just friends again;
We're just friends,
Again, and again, and again.

Freedom, freedom, freedom,
Single, independent, alone, free;
Love, not love, love, not love...
They call this freedom,
But it doesn't feel free;
I miss the comforting feeling
Of you sitting next to me.
Just friends again,
Just friends again;
We're just friends,
Again, and again, and again.
I wish we weren't
Just friends again,
Just friends again;
Why are we just friends,
Again, and again, and again?
We shouldn't be
Just friends again,
Just friends again;
It hurts being just friends
Again, and again, and again.


*So?

I Know You

I know you,
I know you;
I know that you know me.
I know you;
I know you;
I know you're just too sweet.
Yes, I saw you yesterday
On the street.
Yes, I hear you call my name
And repeat.
But I didn't know what to say,
And you're so sweet,
I had to run away.
No, I didn't know what to say
Should we meet,
Except I know you.

I'm Not Afraid

( I do not own this picture. If it belongs to you and you would like me to remove it, please let me know, and I will. Thanks! )

I'm not afraid of falling,
Cause I'm not afraid to break.
I'm not afraid of dying,
Cause I've made enough mistakes.
I'm not afraid;
I'm not afraid.
I just want you to know
I love you
Before I go.
I'm not afraid of crashing,
Cause I'm not afraid to burn.
I'm not afraid of loving,
Cause I'm not afraid to learn.
I'm not afraid.
I just want you to know
That I love you
Before I go.
Too many times I've been
Afraid to cry.
Too often I haven't thought
To ask myself why.
It's time to let it go,
And let them think what they will.
I would jump off of here
Just to see the world stand still.
Because I'm not afraid;
I am not afraid.
I'm not afraid of looking,
Cause I'm not afraid to lose.
And I'm not afraid of smiling,
Cause I'm not afraid of you.
All this time I've been hiding,
I've been keeping it in,
Never once believing,
Not confiding in a friend.
But now I'm not afraid,
And before I go away,
I want you to see,
You've always meant
The world to me.

Feelings

She says a beautiful night can make you blind;
She lays her head on my shoulder,
And says she hopes I don't mind.
I tell her to take as long as she needs.
She says she doesn't believe in miracles;
I tell her she's a miracle,
She says a miracles just the thing she needs.
She says she doesn't know how to love me;
I say it wouldn't hurt her to try.
She starts crying and I wish I hadn't;
She says she sorry and goodbye.
I'm alone in the darkness;
She's alone in the night,
And I wanna go find her,
But it doesn't seem right.

Don't You Know

(I do not own these pictures. If they're yours and you want me to remove them, please let me know, and I will. Thank you!)

Third times lucky, so they said,
But also three strikes and you're dead;
Makes me scared to love again,
Don't you know?
Everyone lies, or else they leave;
I just want someone who's there for me,
And makes me want to fall in love again,
Don't you know?
Handsome's fine, and so is charm,
But what I want's an "I'll do no harm,"
And a man to teach me what trust is again,
Don't you know?
So if you feel like me,
Then go on and grab a seat;
I'm willing to talk at least.
You're a refreshing change
From the views of the modern age,
And at least we could be friends.
Don't you know,
You feel like my first time again?


Take Me Somewhere

(I do not own this picture. If it's yours and you'd like me to remove it, please let me know and I will. Thanks!)

I got my nice clothes on;
I'm ready to go somewhere,
If you'll only take me,
Baby.
So just-a grab your keys;
Would you if I said please?
It's the perfect night
To go for a drive,
If you'll only take me
Somewhere.
So baby, don't say no;
Us to could take a stroll.
I'm all dressed up to go
Somewhere.
*Tonight is perfect, see?
It's just-a you and me,
If you'll only take me
Out there.*

** I can not make my mind up on these lines. I've edited them and edited them, and I can NOT get something I like perfectly. -_- :P




Stop Hiding

You've got secrets to hide
And mistakes to cover;
You don't trust your best friend,
So you're finding another.
You like your grays
More than the blacks and the whites;
Day time comes, and you wish it was night.
REFRAIN(?):
Oh, my friend,
I can tell you think you're broken.
You're always trying to change yourself;
You're a mix of contradictions.
Oh, my friend,
I can see you don't know who you're meant to be.
You've got a long line of ex-friends on your shelf,
And you're whoever you think will make them pleased.
But oh, my friend, just listen to me;
You're the only one you're ever gonna be.
Promise me you'll stop hiding.

Sleep, Little Sister

( Posted this awhile back on FB. Can't believe I haven't posted it here yet!!! Anyway, now I have. :) Also, I do not own this picture. If it is yours and you would like me to remove it, please let me know, and I will do so. And if you have ANY pictures you would like to donate, that would be absolutely lovely! Thank you much! )

Sleep, little sister,
Who makes all my world bright;
Sleep, my sweet sister,
'Til morning light.
Sleep, little sister,
With sweet dreams,
Sleep tight;
Sleep, little sister,
For all is well in the world tonight.

I Would Tell You Goodbye (I Would Never Get Away)

I would tell you goodbye,
But then I'd never get away.
If I told you not to miss me
I would never get away.
I think you'd realize
That I mean it this time;
I am never coming back, my friend.
I think you'd realize
That I mean it this time;
You will never see me again.
Don't tell me not to leave,
Don't try to make me stay;
I would tell you goodbye,
But then I'd never get away.
Don't try to hold me back,
Don't beg me not to go;
We've all got our place,
And mine is alone.
I would tell you goodbye,
But then I'd never get away.
If I told you not to cry
I could never go away.

Crocodilin'

( I do not own the picture in this post. If it belongs to you and you would like me to remove it, please let me know, and I will do so. Thank you! )


I just haven' got the time to
Stand around listening to ou
Tell me how stupid you think I am.
I think I hate myself enough
Already for the both of us,
But I wouldn't expect you to understand.
REFRAIN:
Yet somehow after all your griping,
All your angry letter typing,
You come around crocodile-smiling,
Thinking I'm still gonna be your friend.

If you hate me, go away;
No one's going to make you stay.
Don't let the door bite you one the way out.
Just take your insults with you, dear;
There is no one who wants them here.
Finally you are the one who gets to doubt.
REFRAIN

You said nothing that I do
Would ever be enough for you.
I agree; it's time I stopped trying.
Well, I'm sorry if I sound rude;
It's just something I learned from you.
You could learn something from me 'bout crying.
REFRAIN
