- Bargain Promise
I won't be seeing you again. Driving so far up north that the ice chills my bloodstream. Tell me why you still act like this. Repetition and irony are cracking your skin and you misplaced your sense of self worth again. I don't why I can't sleep at night and everyday I feel the same as I used to. I gave up on you, and it was harder than it should've been. You betrayed yourself, I'm sorry you worked harder then. But me, I know myself and the places I've been. I gave up on you, and it was harder than it should've been. There's not much left of the way that things used to be. You blamed everybody except yourself. You gotta love yourself before I can love you again. What's it like not to have a friend left here? The world's not out to get you; you're out to get yourself. I can forgive and forget you, but it's gonna take some time. I am always up before the alarm. I gave up on you.
- Belong
Whose eyes are looking back at mine? All I see is broken glass and a lot of wasted time, but I found where I belong. It's right here and it took too long. I had the dream again; the one that shakes me awake and covers me in a cold sweat. But I remember that I'm not alone. If I die soon, at least I can say that I was happy near the end of my life. I won't regret you. I won't forget you. Cuz the look in your eyes is what keeps me alive. I see Western Europe in the back of my mind. I see me and you and I see a better life. I'm not running anymore. I've found what I was looking for. I found my everything. I will drive you home, I will carry you inside. You will feel so safe for the rest of your life.
- Candles
I lied about the drinking, and I lied about the drugs. I don't have a personality, I'll never get along. And I lied about my friends and how college is so far. I thought that I told you how sad you really are, so I wait for someone to see me. And so I wait for me to be the one that's called on. I can't believe how young I'll die and who I won't ever get to see. I can't believe you ever thought of me in that way. So I sold out way too young and cashed in all my crooked chips. I prayed to god when I was young to repair what I couldn't fix. I regret most of the choices that I made and so I'm still here. Your eyes, they burn like candles left out too long on Christmas eve, and your heart gets broken way too easy and way too much to be happy.
- Hope, Love, Home
Hope is, love is, home is you. I know that this isn't the easiest way to do this, but I haven't felt so alive since I was a kid. I know there are some things that I lack and I'm sorry. But this is my field of view and I'll still love you at my worst. Let me be a home. Let me be the one that I know that you need. I have made it so far just to be right here and I'm not running back. I was nothing until I met you. I love the way that you laugh. I love the way you love storms. I love the way you love me. Let’s drink coffee in bed. Let’s see what we wanna see. Let’s make a life together
- Nancy Reagan
You haven't lived until you've lived like this. you haven't seen the value of pain until you've lived in it.There's nothing that compares to the rush of it and coming down has never felt so good before. I know how long the days get. I know it seems impossible, but I know forever is tomorrow. So I'll be waiting on the other side.
