always felt I was outside looking in on you

theres something that I should have told you
we wont get a second chance
just one night is all we'll spend together
and its killing me

I know I’m wasting my time
but I refuse to let go

you can paint me pretty colors
and dress me how you like
I'm just an ugly moth in love
in a butterfly disguise

in case you failed to notice,
in case you failed to see,
this is my heart bleeding before you
this is me down on my knees.

I said that I’m sorry.
You said, that’s a shame.

take a look at what I got
I can't promise you a lot but
you and me and the road ahead

time meant nothing, anything seemed real
you could kiss like fire and you made me feel
like every word you said was meant to be
it couldn't have been that easy to forget about me

tonight, I’m crazy like a teenage dream

who is this you're sitting with?
my dreams wont let you go.

dream a dream of our life story
I will tell it over and over again
I'll tell the world just how you got that
perfect smile I can't withstand

I'm ashamed and torn apart at the seams
under the weight of all the truth that a lie unconvers,
and all the regret that comes from one mistake

I remember the first words that you said
and I cant get that night out of my head

and when you look in my eyes
please know my heart is in your hands

an easy ride is all you said I was..

oh how quickly lust can pretend its love©

these foolish games are tearing me apart
and your thoughtless words are breaking my heart
you’re breaking my heart

and if you’re every in doubt
you should know that I still wonder
how many times that I’ve compared
the stars to your eyes«

I know that I should probably hurt so bad
but I can’t feel a thing
I know that I should probably say something
but I can barely breathe

I’ll be your distraction.

you opened your arms like a
school door to summer days
and opened my heart to the
rumors of a higher place
now where was I..
oh, I have fallen for you<33

the only thing that’s perfect
are the states we put between us
because you know I’m always
writing you postcards
just saying how good it feels
not to have you here

&& he never
called back..
</3

I’m tired of making the same mistakes

he sat me down
he said he was incomplete
he thinks true love’s
gonna get him back on his feet
so I guess when you find it
you’re gonna hold on tight

I’m sinking slowly, so hurry, hold me
your hand is all I have to keep me hanging on

Theres just something about you..
I swear I have no idea what it is
but it makes me go absolutely crazy

now I need a guillotine to get you off my mind

you went away..
cause you said you couldn’t love me
I went away..
cause all I do is love you.

he’ll never change, he’s just too vague
he’ll never say, “you’re beautiful”

I want to be somewhere I can see the roads
a place where everytime you breathe a wish comes true
I want to be where love is real
and memories of distant days come to life again

break my heart another day..

I want a crazy, crazy love <33

&& if I think too much
the words seem to disappear
so I'll take you up on the Ferris wheel
and simply grab your hand 

when happiness is based on lies
it’s so hard.. it’s too hard, to tell the truth

my mother always said that hardships come in two's
[ a funeral and break up afternoon ]
there is really no good time for anyone to leave
[ in a couple weeks I'll get my chance to grieve ]
and hopefully by then my mind will be all clear
[ and I can cry for the reasons that I'm there ]
not for all the things that are happening at home
[ the church was filled but I was still alone ]

once again your eyes make it hard to say goodbye
so I'll just keep driving, where do you wanna go?
it doesn't really matter as long as you're here with me

i heard a pin drop & a nervous heartbeat
have you heard me scream I love you?

have you ever wanted to hold
a moment in your hand?
a picture in your head & never let it go?

don't die wondering..

but love could have kept us together
one day you'll see it's worth it after all
if you ever want to say you're sorry
( you can give me a call )

why did you mess with forever?

i could have spent a life with you
but those days were over </3
you were calling my name when
your face faded from view </3

I wanna hang onto something
that wont break away or fall apart
like the pieces of my heart

well excuse me, gues I've
mistaken you for somebody else
somebody who gave a damn
somebody more like myself

he was saying, "you look like an angel."
but you never really know what the hell to make of that
just take your pick cause it doesn't really matter
I get lonely when I hear it and sad when he takes it back
but all in all, another fall won't even make a dent

theres things that aren’t
worth giving up, I know.

I see you- the only one who knew me
and now you'r eyes see through me
I guess I was wrong
so what now? its plain to see we're over
and I hate when things are over
when so much is left undone

it's nothing but a game of
who needs who the worst

I guess thats just the way you are
all the things that you dont show me
like when you pretend that you dont know me
I wasted a dime and I can't call you
I'll spend a lifetime if I fall for you
& I guess thats just the way you are

if you get a feeling the next
time you see me
do me a favor and let me know

scars are souvenirs you never lose
- t h e   p a s t   i s   n e v e r   f a r -

we'll discuss leaving this town
you'll tell me,
"I'm better off in this small town"
I'll laugh and
say I'm a city girl at heart
you tell me that my dreams
are unrealistic
while I tell you yours aren't big enough

..I’m ready and waiting for the happy ending.

hearts are broken everyday<|3

and the look that you're giving me
It tells me exactly what you're thinking,
"this isn't working anymore"

I’m surprised that you’ve never been told before
that you’re lovely and you’re perfect

I spoke to myself,
"if you take me home tonight
I know that we will kiss
one of us will fall in love
and it will be a mess
but if you want to take that chance
then please just let me know"
You set your glass down on the bar
Said, "grab your coat, lets go"

I would drop my life to take her place

I take a breath & grab the phone
Secretly hoping you’re not home

I'm hanging on every word you say
And even if you don't want to speak tonight
That's alright with me
Cause I want nothing more than to sit
And listen to you breathe

no hidden catch
no strings attatched
just free love
©

Its the hardest thing in the universe
to listen to the guy you love
talking about the girl you want to be

Shed do anything to sparkle in his eyes

I'm staring at your picture
And dreaming I could hold your hand
We would walk down to the ocean
And I would write your name in the sand

I’ll check the weather wherever you are cause
I wanna know if you can see the stars tonight
^««^««««^«©

you left a girl who told you where to be and when
I was with a guy who tried to sleep with my best friend
we both took comfort in each others messy lives
finding warmth on that cold November night

there is a very fine line
between love and nausea

i wish i knew how to quit you.

shes got that look in her eyes
"that's ok, everything's alright", a lie
she dreams of absolution
from a life thats nailed her heart to the floor

if I could be like that
I would give anything
just to live one day
in those shoes
if I could be like that
what would I do?
what would I do?

YOU LEFT ME SPEECHLESS WHEN YOU SAID YOU WERE LEAVING
ALL THE THINGS I NEVER SAID, I CAN NEVER SAY
I SUPPOSE ITS FAIR OF ME TO SING TO YOU
ONE MORE SELF EFFACING SONG ABOUT MY PAIN
WITH THE MELODY TO BREAK YOUR HEART
JUST BECAUSE YOU BROKE MINE A THOUSAND TIMES

I remember it well
the first time that I saw you
and time stopped moving

and I die when you mention her name

dancing under starlight glow
no one in the city knows
confidence can take you
nerves try to shake you

I never liked the rain til I walked through it with you
like the rain, I have fallen for you©

if you've been hiding from love
I can understand where you're coming from
if you've suffered enough
I can understand what you're thinking of

its breathtaking to think of you

Have you ever seen stars like these?ê



When I tell him that I'm falling in love
Why does he say,
"Hush, keep it down, voices carry."




my dreams aren’t premonitions
because I’m dreaming of impossible outcomes




“One day,” you said to me,
“I saw the sunset forty-four times!”
and a little later you added:
“You know- one loves the sunset, when one is so sad..”
“Where you so sad then?” I asked,
“On the day of the forty-four sunsets?”
But you made no reply©




Sometimes we get second chances..
And sometimes we never make it past the first.




I'm leaving but before I'm gone
I just have one demand..
When you look into mirrors,
Realize how amazing you are.




lonesome town is crowded
and everyone’s the same
with fresh new starts
and broken hearts
and no one knows your name
© © ©




Everything I see reminds me of you.




Why would you lie about something so stupid?
Unless you've got something to hide, I think you do.
I guess she's just perfect for you




I’m too shy-
I should have kissed you when we were alone.



It's always times like these
when I think of you and I wonder
if you ever think of me

<33
