Why Not Me

Am I too late
Is your heart taken
Without you
Mine is slowly breakin
You dont even notice
She's the only one you see
I'm standing right here 
Begging you to notice me
I'll be patient and hope for the best
I cant make you love me
But pray you come to your senses
It's all a game to her, why cant you see
She enjoys the chase
To her it's just a game
Love should be easy
And simple to see
You say if not her then no one
But why not me?

Am I Not Enough

I've been running for so long
Trying to be the best
But what happens when I fall
Will I not be good enough for you anymore
Will you cast me aside
What can I do to prove I'm trying to be all you want
I'm tired and I'm caving
I tell myself to keep going
I don't want to let you down
But I'm not perfect
Please just love me for me

Losing Battle

Why does it always end the same way?
With all the tears
And all the pain
Every single time I fall
And for what?
To be lead on and to get left broken hearted
Empty and useless in a losing battle
I keep fighting for something 
For anything 
Just to fill that hole that tears at my heart everyday
To make it whole once more
Just when I start to feel alive again
Is when I lose it all once more
And each time is worse than the last 
Every time seems like it might work
Maybe just this once I can have my happy ending
But I think I'm done
I admit defeat and walk away
There's nothing left of me
I've givin everything and they take it and run
It's become pointless 
And I can't stand feeling like this anymore
I just want to close my eyes now
And if I can't wake up to something better
Then I'd just rather not wake up at all

Unspoken Words

Saw you from across the room
And couldn't look away
Its been so long
Since anyone has made me feel this way
I don't even know your name
But I'm falling fast
You look at me and smile
Oh god! I cant breathe
We've never even met
And look what you are doing to me
No one makes a move
Because our stolen glances say it all
We continue on this way for hours
Never speaking, never knowing if we'll ever meet again
When the time comes for you to leave
In a room full of people you catch my eye
And smile one last time
Then you softly whisper goodbye
As you leave I want so badly to run after you
But I believe that if it's meant to be
That one day we'll meet again
If not then I'll always have tonight
A night of unspoken words

Holding On To Nothing

When did we become like this
So calloused to love
We don't feel a thing
I used to look at you and see life
Now I look only to find nothing there
I can't see any light past this storm
Has it really gotten to that point
Do we call it quits
And go about our own lives
Did we ever really try
Or did we give up before we gave ourselves the chance
I'm sorry love
I thought I gave all of myself to you
Looks like we've both been holding out
But enough is enough
Lets put our suffering to an end
Lets walk out the door
Before it slams in our face
Maybe then we can find what we've always been searching for

The words you spoke
The lies you told
Memories are fading
Lives forever changing
Past and present changing roles
Never knowing where to go
You were here and now your gone
Having to move on
Nights grow cold and lonely
Oh if only...
Come back and save me
From the depths of my sorrow
Looking forward but never seeing a tomorrow
Talk and never listen
Please pay attention
I can only say this once
Pain bursting from my heart
Tearing me apart
Living in the shadows
Searching for the light
Fight for me
Tell me all is good
And you'd change it if you could
Don't let love fade
Change the path of yesterday
Growing weak
Life leaving me
Hold onto what's left
If there's anything at all
I'm diving down
It seems I'm sinking now
Light getting brighter with the passing of each tide
I think it's time to let go
Goodnight and Goodbye

Buddy

We were becoming such good friends
And one night it came to an end
I didn't see this coming
Or understand why it's happening
You said it's better if we never talked again
It's just too hard

What is Buddy??
Talk to me please
Say what's on your mind
Don't throw our friendship away
No today, not tomorrow, or any day

You said you should've told me sooner
And how sorry you are
But that this was goodbye

I'll fight this I say
Find a way to be together again
Talking and laughing again like old times
Please don't go...

But he was already gone!




My good friend told me tonight that we shouldn't speak anymore and I have no reason why.
He said I hadn't done anything wrong, but that it was for the best. :(

Untitled

I've tried to be what you've wanted for so long
I didn't want to disappoint you
But the weight of your approval is pulling me down
The load has become to heavy to hold
I'm dying to be the best
Can't you see...
Just for once can't I just be me
I'm sinking slowly but surely
You'll judge me and leave me like you always do
Please hold my hand
Don't let me go
My efforts aren't enough
My hard earned trust means nothing
What more can I do
I can't keep living like this
It's time to break free
To let go of all you expect of me
Because living like this will surely kill me
I love you and I tried to be perfect for you
But I just want to be normal
I want to make mistakes so I can learn from them
I want to fall so I can pick myself back up
I'm starting new
I have to be myself
Because I can't keep living for you
