Old Habits Die Hard (Revisited)

“I’ll be dying soon”
You told me with your tired eyes
“…And you’re gonna be just fine”
You assured me with your trembling voice
And I just don’t know what to do
If I knew, you wouldn’t be here
Chained to this hospital bed
It’s sad that no one comes to see you
Not even me, I admit
At least not anymore
Cause you’ve been sick for so long
It’s becoming a habit now
And we all know old habits die hard
But they die, eventually
We’ve been waiting and waiting
I can only imagine
What you’re going through
But I don’t want to
I guess I’m selfish that way
Thinking as long as it’s not me
But one day
Tables might turn
It might be me chained to this bed
Day in, day out
Year in, year out
It’s going to become a habit
And you know what they say
About old habits dying hard
They die… eventually
Just like you did
Yesterday

 

This Love

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

 

As We Used To Be

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

 

Baby, It’s You

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

 

Home

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

 

Sweater

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

 

What About Me?

You must be married by now
With a child on the way
You forgot about me
You forgot about us
You forgot about our love
Nevermind the hurt
Nevermind the lies
Nevermind the other guy
We’ve made mistakes
But somewhere along the way
We both took the blame
We never looked back
I never wanted to end it that way
You met someone else
And I can only blame myself
But what about me?

 

Wisdom

You’re tired
As you walk down the stairs
Facing the world one more day
People say
Tomorrow’s another day
You never understood it
You just survive it
One day at a time
Life’s a drag
And love’s worse than that
Tick tack
Says the clock
Knock knock
Who’s there at the door
Your lazy ass boss
Trying to hit on you
But what can you do
In times like these
Give in, give up
People say money can’t buy happiness
But it sure pays my bills on time
I’m starting to doubt the wisdom of these people

 

Break up

You told me I was beautiful
Then you kissed me on my lips
It was like you were preparing me
For tough days to come so suddenly
Like you were telling me secretly
I can easily live without you
That I can move on without all this
That I’m worth the attention of other men
That I will one day find someone else
Who’s worth it all
When all I really want is you

 

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

Twinkle twinkle little star,
How I wonder what you are,
Like a diamond in the sky
Brightening up the lonely night
I wish I could be there with you
But you don’t have a clue, do you

Tears, they fall from my eyes
Somehow it feels different this time
I’m right here, but you’re not
You had to go, but I did not
It just wasn’t my time or place
But you had to be stubborn this way

Twinkle twinkle little star,
How I wonder where you are
Now that the bright lit sun is gone
Now that there is nothing to wish upon
What have you really become
After all that I have done

Now 12 months later we celebrate
Not your departure, but your voyage
And I’m thankful no one knows
Why you really had to go
So soon, so sudden, so mysteriously
Our secret is safe with me

Twinkle twinkle little star
Travel light, travel far
Just let things be
Between you and me
