Coffee

I’m never like this 
I keep moving 
After one fails 
I go to the next 

But you’re different 
I don’t wanna mess up
Don’t wanna sneak around 
Rather be with you than them

Thought you’d be easy 
I was completely wrong 
Thought I could change you
But you’re changing me 

Making me think things over
Got me deep in my feelings for you
Maybe I should stop playing 
And focus on you

Cause I can’t explain it
You make me feel something
That I don’t feel with anyone else
Especially when we lock eyes 

Everything stopped
Everything was quiet 
Everything disappeared
Everything except you

Tired of running away, instead
I wanna start something new with you

Choose

I’ve felt useless 
For so damn long 
Wanted to mean 
Something for someone 

I lost myself 
Just to find 
Someone who 
Couldn’t see me 

They can’t see that 
I’m trying to change
I’m still human and
Finding my own future 

Choosing my own choices 
Can’t tell if they’re right 
Or dead wrong, cause 
It’s my own life 

Why should I lose myself 
To make the wrong choices
Why should I lose myself 
Just to be invisible?

I was scared of losing you, but now
I’m exhilarated to find who I am

Jealousy

I don’t wanna lose myself 
To something so trivial 
I just want something 
That I’ve been missing 

I don’t know what 
The missing piece is
You had it and you’re gone
Can you return it back

I’m tired
Too tired of 
Getting upset 
Cause you left

I’d destroy everything 
Just to find you again 
But you’re not 
Worth everything 

You decided to leave 
And I can’t force you 
To comeback to me 
It wouldn’t be right 

I’ll start all over 
So I can find myself

Snowflakes

Watching the snowflakes 
Gently glide through the chilly air 
Watching the snowflakes 
Slowly combine and fall together 

This one snowflake flew into my hands
It melted and drip out of my palm.
Why are my hands so destructive?
Whatever is in my grasps ends up disappearing.

I started to think about you and I.
We were snowflakes floating in the wind.
We were so close and became one
We split apart now, and I lost you.

Once the wind settles down 
Maybe I’ll find you.
Instead I hit the ground 
And started to melt apart.

I became water to become flexible to find you
You became ice because you repelled me
I came crashing and rushing to find you 
While you were tranquil but so rigid 

Instead of melting together
You pierced through me 
And I evaporated away.

I took shape of any vessel you desired.
I kept changing who I was.
I tried to be what you wanted.
Instead, I lost myself trying to find you.

I Give Up On Love

Meeting someone new,
Getting to know them,
Introducing them to your life,
Only for them to leave soon after.

How many times do I need to be vulnerable,
Just for it not to be enough?
How many times does someone leave
Because I couldn’t trust them?

It’s a constant cycle of wash and repeat.
“The One” will stick through thick and thin,
“The One” will never treat you like that—
How much longer do I have to wait?

I’m told to work on myself and try again.
I’m told to give up because it’s pointless.
I give up, but find foolish hope in love,
Invest in myself, only for love to come back around.

Is it possible to remove this feeling?
To give up the need for love and
Become completely monotone.
I’d be more robot than human.

But I’m not a machine, and I’m out of patience.
I’m tired of waiting for it to happen.
I’m starting to believe 
Love was never meant for me.

Nonsense

We fought so many times 
The stuff I say make no sense 
Wish I could rewind time, but
I can’t get back what’s lost 

It’s been rocky
Never been steady 
I loved what we use to have
But I can’t love what’s dead 

I fell in love with 
Your imperfections cause
I thought they made you perfect 
I couldn’t be more wrong

I kept fooling myself 
And I fooled you too
We thought we knew best 
We were just oblivious 

I can’t say this is love 
If it was never there in the first place

Addiction

I’m chasing a high 
I’ll never get again 
Made so many attempts 
But none feel the same 

Told you if I relapse 
I’ll make sure I’ll overdose 
Except this time 
I don’t think I’ll wake up

I can’t move 
Everything feels numb
I don’t know 
Where I am 

I’ve crashed 
And I’m fading out 
Cause I couldn’t 
Control myself

I don’t want to black out

I don’t want to see the light 

I don’t want to get high again 

I want to be happy

Karma

Treated you like the others
Cause I was scared of 
Falling for you and 
Hurting each other

I’m letting my own fear
Get the better of me
Because I don’t know 
What the right decision is

Honestly, I’m regretting this
Cause I let you go again
I thought you’d come back
When I had everything figured out

Now you’re moving on 
And I’m stuck on the past
Thinking of what could of been
While you’re becoming what you want

Karma’s got a grip on me
Cause I’m feeling what you felt

Incompatible

I remember we were 
Just out getting brunch 
Driving through the city 
Being young and dumb 

I wanna take you somewhere 
Bring you somewhere 
That lights up just like 
The nights of the 4th of July 

I wanna keep things straight 
Cause I’m not too sure 
If we’d work out together 
I just wanna stay as friends 

But I wanna go all the way 
I wanna see fireworks 
Explode between the of us 
As we get closer 

I’m also scared of losing you
Not sure if we see eye to eye 
You’re the best thing to happen to me
And I’m not ready to lose it 

Maybe I’ll take the chance 
The chance to be with you

Scared Of Falling In Love

Before we enter this relationship,
Did I already lose your love?
Before we become intimate,
Did you already meet someone new?

Each time I want to fall in love again,
Something wrong is bound to happen.
I was ready to make you mine, but
Someone stole your heart from my grasp.

Am I doing something wrong with you?
I took caution so I don’t lose you.
Am I finding the wrong type of people?
I chose you because I trusted you.

I just want to be careful with myself.
I don’t want my heart to shatter again.
Your feelings keep changing like the seasons—
How do I know they won’t fly away?

I need to get over this fear of losing you.
These situations keep happening because
I didn’t have the courage to tell you how I feel.
I’m losing sleep over what could have been.

Am I doing you wrong, or
Is it the other way around?
