We can dance the night away too easily
When the world around us is falling apart
Brick by brick, heart by heart
Is it you or is it just me
Like it’s always been?
You kiss me, I kiss you back
But love is rarely that black and white
But what do I know, right
There are questions I’m afraid to ask
Do you still love me?
You told me I was beautiful
As you kissed my lips and took me to your bed
We made love like we always do
But somehow it still didn’t make me love you
I forgot how it was to feel loved
To have someone in my life who wanted me
Who would have me just the way I am
But who am I? I ask myself over and over again
All these years of pain and regrets
Made me oh so cold inside
I feel nothing now
Though I want to, but I just don’t know how
He tries and tries
While I play the part
He falls deeply in love with me
Yet I’m not sure what to feel
Is this love
Or simply lust
Or just a favour of some sort
Cause he too been lonely for so long
Or maybe it’s real
He’s a good guy, the best I might ever meet
Time to move on and be loved
Like I deserve to be loved
Have you ever had that moment…
You’re dying for some pancakes and so you decide to make them… so you take out all the stuff you need and realize… you don’t have milk. So you go to the supermarket to get it, and while you’re there you get strawberries and vanilla ice cream for dessert, cause, you know, why not? And then you also get tampons and deodorant, cause you’re all out… and what the hell, might as well get pasta for tomorrow’s dinner…
Then you come home and realize… where’s the milk?
I have the exact same thing with you. You see, I wanted to love you, but I wasn’t able to give you love. I started a relationship with you anyway and while I was at your place, I walked your dog with you and sat next to you on the couch and kissed you and had dinner with your family and laughed at your stupid jokes… and when the relationship was over, I realized I forgot to actually love you…
I’m just saying… you can’t make pancakes without milk… and you can’t truly love someone without love… That is why I don’t like pancakes… and I don’t drink milk…

A few summers ago
We were both so young
So naive but oh so in love
They kept telling us
This kind of puppy love
Won’t last long
But we kept telling them off
Not knowing they were right
How we wished they were wrong
Now a few years later
It’s weird seeing you again
How we know so much about each other
Yet I don’t know you anymore
But that’s okay
Cause in the past you’ll stay
As perfect as we used to be
Autumn rain on my skin
My love, where have you been
I’ve been missing you ever since
Those words left my lips
Maybe I had a bit much to drink
Confusing me in what I think
Or maybe I should embrace these feelings
And tell you what I’ve been missing
‘Cause baby, it’s you
Old man sitting at the window
Of his old two bedroom home
He’s waiting for his wife
But he forgot she died
Five long years ago
But he just doesn’t know
He just can’t remember much
Now all that remains is his love
An empty bed
And a tumor in his head
He just stares outside every day
Wasting his life away
But maybe someday soon
His beloved June
Will return home again
Holding hands
In heaven they’ll roam
Happily ever after
She’s finally home
You ask me if there is a God
Someone to take you out of this shit hole
But who am I to say if He’s a fraud
Cause no one really knows
You lie awake each and every night
Praying to anyone who’s willing to hear you
You’re starting to wonder if you should just die
For death may be the only way out for you
Then you meet this nice young fellow
Who’s willing to love you for a lifetime
While deep down inside you just want to go
Go right back to the father of your child
‘Marry me’, he asks unromantically
It’s his first time, you can tell
From the outside looking in, it’s rather sweet
But we all know, it’ll be a marriage from hell
You said I was beautiful
As I was walking out your house
You pulled me back in
Kissed me like you were going miss me
“What was that for?” I asked lovingly
“Just because…” you replied
As if you were going to finish that
But decided not to
Or maybe because I didn’t let you
You had that look in your eyes
That should have been a sign
Like you were preparing me
For something that’s yet to come
And something did come
In the form of a 5″9 blonde
With a body of a goddess
I might be beautiful
But she was hot
I’ll give you that
But please don’t come running back
When gravity plays tricks on her
And all that’s left is her ugly personality
While all you wanted was left altogether with me
You said you love me
And I said I love your sweater
It’s uncomparable, seriously
But it doesn’t matter
Because you started kissing me
And I was kissing you back
Now we both know where this is leading to
You’re going to want to be with me always
And I’m going to want to leave you
Coming up with ways for you to break up with me
Cause that’s what I do best
It’s easier that way
It’s easier to leave me
Forget me and hate me
Than me leaving you
Leaving room for you to win me over again
Cause there is always a second chance
And I’ll be foolish enough to take you back
And start all over again
When all I really love is your sweater
You said I was beautiful
The most prettiest in the room
The most amazing girl you have ever been with
Beautiful words do sound appealing
To a beautful young mind like mine
You took me to dinner
You bought me flowers
You showered me with attention
Everything a girl could ever want
Everything a girl truly deserves
I bet you say that to everyone
I thought
But then again
I might be the special one
But then I see the way
That special way
You treat all the others
I realized…
You were never going to love me
Like I was willing to love you
