Scar

Staring at the streetlight

Same one I always used to

Thinking of the world I know

Wondering what’s really true

How can someone be like this

To the outside world a gleam of light

But inside a whole different story

A dark stormy night

It’s a funny thing you know

The way we go on with our lives

Pretending like nothing is wrong

When all we feel is ten thousand knives

You wouldn’t want anyone else to know

You were capable of these thoughts

So we go on fighting the battle

Trying to untie all the knots

No, no one can know the way you truly feel, because they won’t take you for who you really are

No one wants to be left in the cold, so you cover it all up with a scar

And we go on fighting the battle

Trying to untie all the knots

No, no one can know the way you truly feel, because they won’t take you for who you really are

No one wants to be left in the cold, so you cover it all up with a scar

Never Mine

When I lost you

I never really had you at all

i gave you everything

But you let me fall

I stayed up all night

Thinking of what you said

But looking back on it now

It wasn’t worth anything

Because I never really had you, you were never mine

Reality is that we weren’t meant to be, don’t know why I couldn’t see

A figment of my imagination

Is what it turned out to be

I went all in with my cards

When all along you were bluffing me

Looking back it’s all become clear

You never really thought much of us

But I looked too deep into it

Now those memories have turned to dust

Because I never really had you, you were never mine

Reality is that we weren’t meant to be, don’t know why I couldn’t see

You treated me like a puppet

But I’ve cut off your strings

Those times are over now

It was all for nothing

Because I never really had you, you were never mine

Reality is that we weren’t meant to be, don’t know why I couldn’t see

Someone Like You

I couldn’t count the number of times

It’s over before it even really begins

The start of something worthwhile

Takes someone like you to make a whirlwind 

Too many months have I been left to wander

Too many nights looking out the window

Waiting for someone to rescue me

Someone like you to say hello

All I need is someone like you, to say they need someone like me

A spark to ignite this fire, the start of the story of you and me

Sometimes life has a way of bringing together what’s meant to be

Although at times it’s hard to see

When the pages are covered

Underneath are the words “you and me”

Just say you’ll find your way

To my house tonight

When I open the front door

I’ll never let you out of my sight

I’ve been waiting for someone like you, to want someone like me

A spark to ignite this fire, the start of the story of you and me

Do You Ever

I think of you all the time

When you’re far away

You’ll always have a place here

No matter the time of day

I caught a firefly the other day

And put it inside a jar

I know you would’ve laughed

With you eyes shining like a star

Do you ever think of me, when we are not together

Am I in the back of your mind, on this night in December?

Summer passed and the snow has fallen

Covering everything below

Like it’s trapping the memories

For just us to know

I feel your breath in the wind

Coming through the window tonight

I wonder if you’re looking at the sky

At the same moon, shining so bright

Do you ever think of me, when we are not together

Am I in the back of your mind, on this night in December?

Wait for Me

You’re my princess

Looking out into the distance

Like Rapunzel in a far off tower

Waiting for her prince

For you I’d run forever

Through the flowing fields

For you I’d defend the kingdom

With bloodshed and silver shields

Just say you’ll wait for me, and I’ll never let you down

You mean more to me than anything, the throne or crown

You sit with your blue eyes and blonde hair

Behind the castle walls

More beautiful than anyone

Waiting for my call

You were beginning to think

I would never come for you

But just as the sun went down

I yelled to you

For you I’d run forever

Through the forest and back

For you I’d defend the kingdom

Against the enemy’s attack

Just say you’ll wait for me, and I’ll never let you down

You mean more to me than anything, the throne or crown

Goodbye

I could hear her crying

Folding clothes in her bedroom

It broke my heart, I couldn’t move

So I just sat and stared at the moon

I grew up in that old house

Between those four walls

I used to look outside late at night

And hear people walk in the hall

Laying in bed that final night

I couldn’t help but choke up inside

Knowing I wouldn’t sleep there again

Kallie listened as I cried

It’s never easy saying goodbye, they say its just “so long”

But the truth hurts sometimes, maybe what they say is wrong

Eighteen years had passed by

And it was time to move on

We loaded the car and drove away

As rain poured down for hours

Letting go made me want to stay

It’s never easy saying goodbye, they say its just “so long”

But the truth hurts sometimes, maybe what they say is wrong

I’m far from home tonight

But there’s still a part of them inside

They were by my side until the last night

And as I walked away, mom still cried

I don’t want to say goodbye

Three months until I’ll see you again

Growing up is like day turning to night

I just want the sun to shine like back then

It’s never easy saying goodbye, they say its just “so long”

But the truth hurts sometimes, maybe what they say is wrong

Everyone Has Secrets

“Everyone has secrets” is what I said to you

Secretly I loved you, but I hope you never knew

It was too rushed to last

A game to make up lost time

I held back all I had

Because I knew you weren’t mine

I never told you how I felt

Because I was afraid of your response

I knew your head wasn’t in it

So I withheld all my bonds

“Everyone has secrets” is what I said to you

Secretly I loved you, but I hope you never knew

Play it off like it was just a phase

But I fell the night you took me to the ball

Then you cut it short and let me go

Now your hands won’t break my fall

So I hope you never knew

How much I cared for you

I gave it my all

Just for you to say goodbye

And I have too much pride

To have you see me this way

“Everyone has secrets” is what I said to you

Am I your regret, you wish you could undue?

Castles Crumbling

It seems I’ve been replaced

He stands where I once did

Where did things start to crumble

What did I say that your heart forbid

Everything was going so well

From the first night to the bus ride

I don’t know how he came between us

How that one night changed the tide

Ever since that dreadful night, the stones began tumbling

The cracks started to show, now that castle’s crumbling

I don’t get you, no I don’t understand

How you can move on from someone

Without taking a second glance

And build something just to come undone

Just forget someone who stayed by your side

And let go with the blink of an eye

Pretend like nothing is wrong

When really it’s all a lie

Ever since that dreadful night, the stones began tumbling

The cracks started to show, now that castle’s crumbling

Back up from the wall

And look at the full picture you see

It’s nothing but transparency

You belong with me
