the distance

don’t answer that…
it’s just a call from someone you know.
but he can’t be here.
i’d wait for days for you to show,
and talk to me whenever you want.
so don’t go breaking my heart,
there’s nothing left.
but just so you know, it’s not your fault.
why can’t we be together like we should?
won’t you be my one and only?

through the eyes of a merciless youth

remember the day you gave it away?
i thought i lost you forever.
i heard you say you’re leaving today.
i don’t know what to do now.
i couldn’t be all that you want me for.
it’s a relief because you deserve so much more.
i couldn’t see your beauty,
so hold on to the one that you adore.
but you’re still the one that i’ve been waiting for.

the ties that bind will someday kill us

i close my eyes every time i think of you
and tell myself all the things i always knew i’d never do.
i hold my breath every time i hear from you
and lose my mind every time you tell the truth, and you always do.
you could tell me again, and i’ll always be there.
or you could walk away, but i’ll be right by your side.

the one that got away

one night, i was holding your hand
telling you i love you.
you look so nice here in my arms
laughing all the while
while i’m still the one who couldn’t let go.
summer was never enough
inside your heart.
you were always searching inside of me
for what i can’t be.
but you’re still the one who couldn’t let go.

a blinding sunrise

the days go by when you’d never come out, trapped beneath yourself.
but i won’t forget to call or send you letters or find you when i get there.
the sun is outside. it was such a blinding sunrise, tearing down the walls.
but i won’t forget to come and get you, and find you when i get there.
i’ll never love one. i’ll never trust again.

another new song - 3.15.09

always taken

please kiss these lips tonight– they’re dry
i’m waiting…
sit close to me i’ll hold you tight
until morning.
i won’t close my eyes– i’ll open wide
because i’m watching
to see you sleep all through the night
and your breathing
just when i find hope,
you’re always taken.
so how will i find love
when you’re always taken?

new song - 3.15.09

under the knife

i can’t strip away the pain
or break apart the sorrow
i don’t want to live through this
or even face tomorrow
you’d trace it back to me
and hold me to my actions
but i won’t put up with any of this
or let you impose detraction on me
you hate me–
you thought i couldn’t be what you deserve
but say that you’ll at least remember
save me from being someone you could hurt
shape me into something you remember
