Yr so strange, and so captivating
I'm in chains. What did you do to my self control?
You have torn me apart
It was a casual break down from the start
Not even enough time to take my heart
But you managed to take something from me
Getting up, never meant a thing until you kicked me down
Slice and cut, everything you gave to me for my own sanity

Stuck

Too long ago, & yr tongue was too long.
I've stepped away from relationship songs.
I've come so far just by lying on the ground.
I'm scared of you, & the love that you've found.
I gave up a long long time ago.
There's nothing about me that you don't know.
I've tried to explain to you I don't care.
This love & these feelings that you don't share.
I've sat here & waited to be yr first choice
I spend my life sitting then you ask to hear my voice
I kiss the ground you walk on & you never look down
I'm scared that I'll lose you but you've never been found
When yr ready I'll be here to show
& you'll be careful to keep the secrets only you know,
& when yr ready you can leave me behind
& after awhile you'll be gone from my mind

Antacids

I've got a plan
involves you inside out & my head in the ground
& you'll touche the sky
With help from antacids, with help from antacids
& I said, "I wouldn't mind the pain"
yr still here, but, you don't feel the same way
& yr eyes are two different colors,
& my life's crumbling down.
I've got a plan.
but it's mismatched and jumbled, & hard to remember
& I've fallen down,
trying to keep up with you, tryning to keep up
I said I wouldn't mind the pain
Yr still here, but, you don't feel the same way
& yr eyes are two different colors
& my life's

Interior floral design
Matching dresses & tied tight bows, a waste of time
Staying up until 3 am
& talking colleges, our futures intertwined
& I wonder,
how can we go from sitting on my front porch, to side ways glances over
A year of memorizing the lines on yr forehead, to sideways glances over
Attractive qualities growing thin
Creating new ones, losing interest, my patience ends
We were hanging on by a thread, pretty much from the moment we first met

Yr black hair,
yr red eyes,
I can't share.
Cos yr all mine.
I can't share anybody else with you
I reserved everything for two
Yr statics got a thing for me
I am finally enough for you
You fell down,
all twisted up.
I helped you drown.
I'm never enough

What Now?!

You don't like me & that's OK,
Cos I'm much cooler than you anyway.
My passive aggressive melody
is the answer to yr mean symphony
& I will back down
as long
as I never see yr face again
for as long as I'm around.
& I will
not drown
in all
of the wasted opportunities
we've poured into the ground.
Time & time & time again yr redeeming qualities start seeping in.
& I will sigh, & think of the horrible things that you have done to me.
Ms. Waste of Time & Energy, yr tendencies have become clear to me

Broken Heart Syndrome

When you tell me to calm down,
it makes me feel crazy.
& lately the thought of someone else with you makes me crazy,
& unmotivated
You move so slow
I don't know where you've gone to please,
I'm talking to you
You move so slow
I don't know where you've gone to please
I built a cabin in the woods
with lavender & paisley
& you, so careless with yr nice & fireplace
you burnt it, down to the ground
bird cage
soft space
I was so comfortable
but you were agitated
warm space
new face
yr still so beautiful, and I am broken China
