Your Turn To Cry
You can deny it
But your heart will bring you back to me
That’s just how it is
And how it always will be
You pretend you’ve moved on
Whatever keeps your sanity
Because I see the true you
Behind your broken vanity
The fact is
I don’t need you any longer
I was once weak without you
But I have matured and grown stronger
So when the nights turn cold
And you start to ask yourself why
Know that you’ll have nobody to lean on
Because it’s your turn to cry
A Taste of Your Own Medicine
You ripped my heart out
With a sparkle in your eye
And the worst part is
I have no idea why
You are what I have waited for
What I have searched for far and wide
The last thing I expected
Was watching our worlds collide
Just when it seems I’m getting along
And starting to cope
You appear in my life again
To give me a glimmer of hope
But it’s nothing real
You only want to string me along
To see if you still got it
And stealing me back from where I belong
I do want you back
But not so you can win
I want to hold you high
Then give you a taste of your own medicine
You Finally Missed
You feed me the fuel
That I need for this fire to burn
It makes me wonder why
For you, my heart ever yearned
You play games
For your own satisfaction
It makes you feel special
Regardless of your actions
You only care about what others say
They make your decisions for you
You never give the worthy a chance
If you only had a clue
You won’t be able to hide
For too much longer
You’ll be forgotten by those you stranded
As you sit alone, left to ponder
I used to look into your eyes
And see into your soul
Now I can take a step back
And see you as a whole
You are nothing in this world
To me you no longer exist
You tried to knock me out like the rest
Except this time you finally missed
Brand New
Sometimes you say things
Just to hear yourself talk
You can’t keep up with your lies
And continue to walk your walk
I love myself
Better than you ever did
And when it came time to show it
You ran away and hid
I can’t block you out altogether
I’ll just be your polar opposite
Linked together for all time
And the same when it comes down to it
Apparently your plans in life have changed
And there is something better you have found
I just want you to remember
What goes around comes around
I will forget everything
That meant anything to you
So I can wipe the slate clean
And start brand new
Better Off
We were supposed to have no emotional attachment
But still my heart grows fond
Now there is a barrier between us
And silence is our only bond
I have no sense of direction
I am down in this hole
You walked right through me
And shattered my soul
You make yourself known again
Every once in awhile
I try to ignore you
And your intoxicating style
In the beginning
I wanted to know everything about you
Now I can see the truth
I realize I am better off without you
Day After Day
You look but never see
You listen but you never hear
Maybe it’s because you don’t care
Or I’m just not being clear
I tried to lead you along
And show you the way
But you drown me out
And push me away
I can’t get through to you
We can no longer connect
I try to explain my feelings to you
But sadly they have no effect
I tell you my secrets
I hold nothing back at all
Still no response from you
It’s like talking to a wall
I guess you can’t be changed anymore
You have drifted too far away
But you will be in my heart
Day after day
For Once
For once
I wish I could give you butterflies
And was able to use the words that leave you paralyzed
For once
I wish it was you begging and pleading
And my eyes were the ones that were misleading
For once
I want you to be the one who waits alone at night
And is who left gazing off into the starry night
For once
I want everything to go as planned
One time I want to be able to understand
For once
I want it all to go as rehearsed
Switch this all around, and have our roles reversed
Used to be Enough
The doors that used to be open to me
Have now been slammed in my face
Someone switched it all around
And changed the pace
The bridges I have built
Have been set to flames
The “friends” I once knew
Just don’t seem the same
This has taken its toll
We have gone our separate directions
Maybe it’s the wrong way to handle it
Or maybe it’s for our own protection
I see you now
And search for what to say
I feel like I am being left behind
It never used to be this way
I could always come to you
Whenever times got rough
You always provided the reassurance I needed
You used to be enough
You Missed Out
I hold my head down
As I continue to walk slow
Though I haven’t it directly from you
I already know
You have moved on
I can see it in your eyes
So when you are ready to come clean
I won’t be surprised
Apparently you are searching for something
Something I can’t give
I can’t stop you from running
Because it is your life to live
If you are going to leave
Don’t turn back around
If you expect me to wait for you
I’ll be nowhere to be found
So do what you think is right
But in time you’ll have no doubt
That I was what you needed
And you missed out
Forever Apart
These words that I hear
Give me a heavy heart
It makes me realize
We will forever be apart
It’s been too long
And these cuts will not heal
You couldn’t begin to imagine
Exactly how much pain I feel
Call me crazy, but for some reason
I still care
Maybe I expect things to change
Even though you have never been there
A thousand words can describe you
Not one of them being good
So should I feel differently?
I wish that I could
You cut the connection
But I just never put it together
You found a new life
That suites you a little bit better
I guess our lives
Will never include each other again
To stubborn to reach out
So I guess we both win
Stormy Weather
I’ve been questioning you lately
Something I’ve never done before
It’s really getting to me
It’s something I can’t ignore
I just see you changing
From the person I once knew
Slowly but surely
With everything that you do
I feel the tension
And I fear it is going to build
Because our egos keep growing
And become jealously filled
I find myself living in the past
Trying to put things as they were
Only because the present is so hectic
And our future is so unsure
Hopefully the wounds mend
And we can pull it together
Before we hit the downpour
And all the stormy weather
The Pretender
You are the pretender who has unreachable dreams
The person who gets his way with lies and crooked schemes
The person who leaves the truth untold
The person who will stab you in the back, and leave you cold
You have changed from the person I once knew
Without warning you switched out of the blue
I never thought the day would come when you’d be so far away
Once a close buddy, but now different in every single way
These little games never bothered me before
But now they stretch my nerves and I can’t take it anymore
You are everything I never want to be
I just wish you could take the time to realize and see
There is so much more to this life besides the things that are impure
Eventually it will be time to grow and mature
If it doesn’t have to do with money and the greed it carries
You couldn’t care less, and you would have no worries
You are the pretender who will hopefully find his way
I can’t help you live like this, I can only bring these words to say
May you be humbled before it is too late
Try to change your life, and eventually your fate
Deceitful Smile
I should have seen this coming
It was so predictable
Could I expect something more?
From someone so egotistical
You are all about yourself
How can you be so vain?
Looking to take your frustrations out on others
Just to alleviate your own pain
I was taken by you
Before I got wise to your games
I thought you would be different
Before you were exposed as the same
I assure I won’t be and plead
And come crawling back to you
Keeping my dignity, while denying you of that pleasure
Is what I’d rather do
One thing I am certain of
Through this painful little trail
I feel sorry for the next guy lured in
Y your deceitful smile
I Wish
I wish you knew the truth
And I wish I could be the one to tell it to you
I wish it was that easy
I wish that you already knew
I wish things didn’t have to be so hard
I wish that I could drift right by
I wish I could stay like this forever
I wish we would never have to say goodbye
But I know what I have to do
And what is best for us
No arguments to put up
And nothing to discuss
Tears will be shed
And we may never be the same
But I’d rather have that
Than the constant suffering and shame
I wish I could run away
I wish I could find a place to hide
But I’ll take it like a man
And swallow my pride
Nothing I Can Do
Maybe it’s because I’m stubborn
Or because I am too proud
But I can’t let you go
And become just another face in the crowd
I can’t see you off like this
And let it be your last goodbye
But with these broken wings
I can no longer fly
We lost our way
Or maybe we just grew apart
But regardless of all our differences
You still have a place in my heart
Even though you keep hurting me
You can do no wrong
I hang on your every word
Like it’s my favorite sad song
I wish things could be different
But it all happens for a reason
I have to adapt to this
Like the changing of the seasons
It’s tough for me
Because you already have someone new
I fear that you’ll be gone forever
And there is nothing I can do
Addiction
I swore to myself
That I would never give in to addiction
But this was just too much for me
Beyond my wildest predictions
It’s not in a bottle
Or injected into the skin
It’s your ability to be there for me
When my patience runs thin
It’s your laugh, your smile
The little thing you do
It’s the way you assure me
Of what I already knew
I love when you eyes wander
But I know they will always come back to me
How did I get so lucky?
I guess some things are just meant to be
I swore to myself
I would never become addicted
But that was before you came along
Something I never could have predicted
Perfect Murder
The perfect murder happened
When you walked in the other direction
I looked you in the eyes for the final time
To see no sign of affection
No guns, no bullets
No trace of evidence
No witnesses to the crime
No need to prove your innocence
It didn’t affect anyone else
But it killed my spirit
And it pains me to know when you said you loved me
You never really meant it
I thought things were perfect
But that was through my eyes
You had a hidden agenda
Much to my surprise
I’d kill for the days
When you’d call just to hear my voice
But you made this decision
It wasn’t my choice
You committed the perfect murder
When you walked away
Shattering my dreams in the process
Making me wish for yesterday
Exposed
It takes a person like you
To make me take a second look
You can't think for yourself
Your life is an open book
You think you are above us all
And yet your style is classless
You are a follower of trends
Anything to appease the masses
That's your problem
You don't live for you
You only care what other people think
And let them dictate what you do
You are so predictable
You get on every one of my nerves
And there is no question in my mind
You'll eventually get what you deserve
You are so wrapped up in yourself
It's all becomes a blur
Your "friends" now shy away from you
Because they can see the big picture
Your shady actions
Aren't invisible to anyone
And whether you know it or not
You've been exposed to everyone
Not Anything At All
I hope this doesn't make it weird
Or give you any cause for concern
But sometimes I only talk
To hear your voice in return
I can't exactly put into words
Why I’m locked on you
I just felt it was right inside
And that’s exactly when i knew
There's no need to impress me
No need to do anything special
Just be who you are
With nothing superficial
I think you are perfect
With all your flaws
And nothing could change my mind
Not anything at all
That Girl
The way her eyes sparkle
The way her hair curls
Makes her so tempting
She’s that girl
The one I dream about
The one that sends me for a whirl
The one that attracts me
She’s that girl
The girl that draws me in
With her smile white as pearl
I’m so addicted
To that girl
When she walks by
My thoughts start to swirl
I can’t take my eyes off of…
That girl
But no matter what
YOU are my whole world
She can’t even come close to you
She’ll forever be….that girl
Who Am I To Judge?
Remembering the times when you abused me
Haunt and shake my core
They take me back in time
A place which I can’t ignore
They didn’t leave any bruises
They didn’t make me bleed
They fueled my fire of hatred
And planted this seed
I know now
That it was too much to bare
Apparently you didn’t
You never seemed to care
It amazes me
That you are still pretending
You don’t know what is real
With the mixed messages you keep sending
Maybe you need help
Maybe you need a bit of a nudge
But what did I ever matter to you?
And who am I to judge?
Unexpectedly
Unexpectedly
You came along
And you changed my life
From the same old sad song
I looked around
Trying to find the girl for me
Little did I know
That you were too close to even see
From the second we met
I felt a little different
My feelings grew stronger
With every visit spent
I plan to share with you
A part of me I have never opened before
Because there is something between us
I just can’t ignore
There are more beautiful girls
There is simply no doubt
But I have other things in mind
Looks aren’t all I am about
This is the right time for us
We can fit together perfectly
I am happy you came out of the blue
So unexpectedly
Every Single Time
Every single time
I look at you
Memories come flashing back
Of things we used to do
It hurts so badly
Because I never got my chance
Every time I smiled at you
You would turn away at my glance
We have gone our separate ways
And it’s clear now you aren’t what you were
But I still can’t resist
I still something between us would occur
Maybe it’s just me
Who feels this connection
My missed opportunity burns inside
As I stare at my reflection
I told you how I felt once
I laid my heart out
You didn’t know what to make of it
Apparently you had your doubts
A Hold On Me
You have a hold on me
Even when I don’t want you
You show up uninvited
And I know just what to do
It’s so very tempting
Because you are my disease
No matter what is ailing me
You always know how to please
When I am feeling down
I can always come to you
You can solve all of these problems
You can make me brand new
You get the best of me
With your many personalities
Though you have clashed with many
And caused countless casualties
Maybe one day
I can shake your sweet curse
Before you finish the job
And my situation gets worse
Complicated Questions
The simple truth is…
Love is complicated
The rules can be stretched
Even rolled around and manipulated
How do you find the one?
And how do you really know?
Do you search for them?
Or wait for them to show?
Do you make you move?
And how do you go about it?
Do you wait for her to approach?
So you know she’s legit
Do you shower her with gifts?
Or is the presence of love enough
Can you really trust her?
Or do you call her bluff?
These are the questions
Which nobody has the answers to
Everyone has their own game they play
It depends on what they truly want to do
One thing is for certain
Love’s questions are complicated
Whether you can overcome them
It was it left to be debated
Insecurity
Sometimes you feel
So insecure
Nothing is what it seems
The world is one big blur
Everyone you get close to
Is somehow taken away
And you start to question
Every single word you say
Everyone is around you
But you feel so alone
It’s a shameful feeling
Unlike one you have ever known
People try to help you out
But there is nothing they can do
It is deeper than that
It’s something inside you
Everyone has their own problems
It is just how you work through
Some you need help with
And some you wish you never knew
Not What I Appear
It’s not that I don’t want you
You are something I have never known before
Something so attractive
Something I could never ignore
I know you are into me
But we simply can’t be
You and I both know
You can do much better than me
I could only bring you down
From where you stand
You’d be taking a step back
If you took me hand
It’s your choice to make
One of uncertainty
Because deep down
I’m not what I appear to be
Perfect Situation
You are so breathtaking
More than I anything I had anticipated
I sit awake at night
Thinking of how you left me captivated
You do it to me every time
Without hesitation
You bring me to life
And rid me of all my desperation
It’s more than a crush
It has a little more complication
But somewhere along the way
You filled me with infatuation
Every time I look your way
I can’t help but smile
I know right then and there
You are worth all the while
