Real

Don't you think you've had enough
Of fake, and fragile kinds of love?
The kind that burn themselves out

Like we all know that they will?
Aren't you tired of the people
Who mistreat you and mislead you,

Who empty you and empty you

And never get their fill?

Don't you want something real?

That makes you grow, and not just feel?

Something that's worth fighting for

When feelings aren't enough.

When the sky falls down around you

Bricks and broken glass surround you,

Don't you want someone beside you

When the road gets rough?

Don't you think that it's worth waiting,

Contemplating, hesitating,

Darling, know your heart's worth saving

For a strong and real love.








Pinterest Perfect

Forget about Pinterest Perfect, I'm

Just trying not to be worthless; I'm

Not saying it's not worth it, I'm

Just saying I need a break.

I'm not one of those TikTok moms, I'm

Not the most crunchy mom; do we

Have to judge everyone? We've

All got a lot on our plates.

Does there always have to be

A reason why?

Aren't we allowed to just be tired? Why

Are we constantly comparing life

To life to life to life;

It's not always what it seems.

Does there always have to be

A reason why?

Maybe we're all just scraping by.

If you're not as good as you'd like,

Why do you think she has to be?

It's not always what it seems.


Forget about Picture Perfect, Why

Is everything covered in dirt? I

Didn't even go outside, I

Just wanna take a break.

I'm not an Instagram mom, I'm

Not really a playgroup mom; do we

Have to label everyone? We've

All got a lot on our plates.

Does there always have to be

A reason why?

Aren't we allowed to just be tired? Why

Are we constantly comparing life

To life to life to life;

It's not always what it seems.

Does there always have to be

A reason why?

Maybe we're all just scraping by.

If you're not as good as you'd like,

Why do you think she has to be?

It's not always what it seems.

Me & Her

 I wanna go back
And change what I wrote
But it feels like sacrilege 
To change one note. 
There was a time
When I felt what I did;
Better to leave
The past to that kid.
Half of me knows
Half those songs could be better,
But she was trying to cope, 
And those songs let her.
Part of growing 
Is letting go;
It gets better,
But she didn't know.
If I reach out
When something's amiss,
It's because I know
She needed this.
I can't change the past,
And I'm past trying, 
But I'll be damned
If I leave you crying.
I'm not her anymore,
And thank God for that,
But I am who I am
Because of my past.
I wanna go back 
And change what I wrote,
But for her sake, 
I won't change one note.

Reach

I break my own heart 
Just to feel something. 
I'm falling apart 
Just to feel something.
Cuz I reach and I reach 
And I reach and I reach
And I reach and I reach 
And you give me nothing.
This love of ours
Was always meant to grow;
So where'd it go?
Where'd it go?
I scream and I shout
Cause I don't know how
To say what I'm feeling.
I tremble and cry
Cause I know I can't hide
The wounds that I thought were healing.
It would take a miracle now.
I'm afraid they've figured me out.
I keep breaking my heart
Just to feel something.
I'm still falling apart
Cuz I feel like nothing.
So I reach and I reach
And I reach and I reach
And I reach and I reach 
But you show me nothing. 
This love of ours
Was always meant to grow.
So where'd it go?
I don't know.
 

Villain

 I've had heartbreak, 
And I've been a heart breaker.
I tried to be friends, 
But you made a mistake, sir. 
I tried to let it slide, 
But I can't stand a faker. 
Why couldn't you be happy with
Her?
I already have a man.
Did she deserve to be 
Hurt?
Did we do something I don't 
Understand? 
Can I believe one
Word
When you've lied time and again? 
What do you tell them when they ask
What happened to your friend?
I'm fine
I'm 
Fine
Being your villain.

Sunny Weather

 I don't deserve to live

But I deserve This life.

I shouldn't be surprised

When it cuts me like a knife.

What did I ever do

To deserve something better?

I can't always expect it

To be warm and sunny weather.






Perfect

 There's a thousand lovely faces
Smiling at you from the screen,
All a manufactured perfect
My flesh just can't obtain,
And I can't help but wonder
If their animated charms
Are the reason that it's been so long
Since you held me in your arms. 

Worthless

I recognize this pain.
I've been here before.
I didn't think that I
Would feel worthless anymore.
Something feels different.
Something that I can't ignore.
I didn't think that I
Would feel worthless anymore.
There's a pressure in my heart
Like it's about to break.
I take a little more
When I've had all I can take.
I can't see you unhappy,
I don't make you smile like before.
I didn't think that I
Would feel worthless anymore.

You Are My Sunshine

 You are my sunshine
When the sky is full of clouds.
You are my blue skies
When the rain is pouring down.
I wish that I had known
Back then what I'd have now.
When the storm cleared away,
There was you.
There was you.
I couldn't see the silver
When all the clouds were gray.
I couldn't see the summer
When the leaves had blown away.
I couldn't see a reason
To keep living that way,
But when the storm cleared away,
There was you.
There was you.
You're every shining star
At the end of the day.
You are my warm shelter
When I am afraid.
You hold the avalanche
Of fears at bay.
When the storm cleared away,
There was you.
There was you.
When the storm cleared away,
There was you.

Insecurities

 Every game you play,
Every movie that we see,
I wonder if you think those girls
Are prettier than me.
Who wouldn't think those girls
Are prettier than me?
The number on the scale
Isn't one I'd like to be.
The face in the mirror
Isn't one I like to see. 
I wonder if you think those girls
Are prettier than me.
Who wouldn't think those girls
Are prettier than me?
We spent time together;
Now we never have time free.
There used to be two of us
Then two turned into three. 
Do you think that I'm as pretty
As I used to be?
I know I'm not as pretty
As the girls on our tv.
Do you think all those girls
Are prettier than me?
Who wouldn't think those girls
Are prettier than me?
