It’s cold out here, I’m waiting for your lack of empathy in the form of contrived words and second hand phrases, like: “life goes on” and “it’s okay dear”
But I’m fed up of the same thing repeating, not learning my lesson; not dipping my feet in, just dive in head first into everything until one day it ends and that’s when you’ll say you miss me.
You can say you’re sorry but you know it don’t matter when you force those words through your teeth (through your teeth)
You can say you tried but you took your time and it’s taken it’s toll on me.
It’s warm inside so you force me in and I force my lies through my busted grin,
You want to go to bed and your apathy is showing, so fuck off and just leave me here I’ll see you in the morning.
I’m fed up of this verse I’m repeating, self pity and loathing, it leaves me defeated but I find some solace in hurting myself, it numbs all the pain I feel for everyone else.
I would say “I’m sorry” but you know it won’t matter if I force those words through my teeth,
I could say “I tried” but that would be a lie and you’ve heard it before from me.
You can say you’re sorry but you know it don’t matter when you force those words through your teeth
You can say you tried but you took your time and it’s taken it’s toll on me.
You can say you’re sorry but you know it don’t matter when you force those words through your teeth (through your teeth)
You can say you tried but you took your time and it’s taken it’s toll on me.

soliloquy

Second guessing every single move I make,
I take a step to you and feel my body hesitate,
Bereft of questions, I stop my self and take a breath in,
You smile your smile at me, I feel like I could levitate.
Time couldn’t heal me like this,
So why do I feel symptomless?
I guess that I’m just moving on,
Relapse, repeat until I’m gone.
Incandescent,
Now talking like I’m someone else and I fake my confidence until I feel it naturally,
But truth be told I don’t know how you make me feel this way,
Cautiously hopeful as I hang on every word you say.
Time couldn’t heal me like this,
So why do I feel symptomless?
I guess it’s just me moving on,
Relapse, repeat until I’m gone.
You prove me wrong,
You prove me wrong.
Time couldn’t heal me like this,
So why do I feel symptomless?
I guess that I’m just moving on,
Relapse, repeat until I’m gone.

lullabies

My hands are shaking, please hold them still,
You make me nervous but it’s nice to feel something, I’ve been numb for far too long,
Your smile, it cures me, relieve my pain,
Your eyes stay on me and I feel shamed,
I am ugly but you make me feel like gold.
You know you’re worth so much,
Wanna give you all I’ve got,
It may not be enough but I’ve got love.
My voice breaks often and I can’t speak,
But if you want I’ll try sing you to sleep, I’ll sing you lullabies of all my broken dreams,
When your sleeping I’ll hold you near,
Keep you warm and calm my fears,
Tell you things you love to hear even though you won’t be listening.
You know you’re worth so much,
Wanna give you all I’ve got,
It may not be enough but I’ve got love.
You make me fumble every word,
So I’ll say it in the simplest terms,
I only feel myself when it’s just us.
An aimless daydream of unsteady thoughts,
Is always stifled when I hear you talk,
If I had a wish it would be to stay forever like this,
Cos girl you know that I’m unglued but that has never bothered you,
You piece me up the best you can and hold me steady.
You know you’re worth so much,
Wanna give you all I’ve got,
It may not be enough but I’ve got love.
You make me fumble every word,
So I’ll say it in the simplest terms,
I only feel myself when it’s just us.
