Hello Awkward, Take a Bite Out of This Tension Sandwich

Does it upset you that what you want is no longer what I want? 
That your urges make me smile?  (In a devious manner)
That watching you hold back, feeling that tension between us,
It just feels,

so

                                     damn

                                                                                        good?

Because I’ve found something so much
Better,
And I can look at you and just not care anymore.
Your eyes full of this lost passion,
Screaming to find it within me..

                                                 …yet again.

But this time, this time I have more than you, I have more than me.
Something I wouldn’t have believed.
It’s opened me up, made me realize so much more about me, about life.
I will not be taken advantage of
You can no longer hold me hostage, bound within your words..

                                                                                                …your lies.

I’m not sorry I’m happy
I’m not sorry you can’t use me
I’m not sorry I can’t use you

                                              but it’s that little bit of tension that held us together

                               I’m sorry for that

And I’m sorry its gone

I let go
I gave up

             On the little hope of being something,
             And with that the little friendship we had

…turned sour

I am sorry for that
And I am sorry that it is gone…

A Little Piece of Something

I started to write this weeks ago,
I couldn't finish, I'm sure you know.
So now I've sat down to try again.
It's gone through changes cus of what's happened.

I remember that first day I saw you,
You were walking towards me, I looked away.
I was feeling clumsy, lost for words to say.
All I heard were good things about you,
Good things you proved true.

I need you to know you're a little piece of something,
I can't live without.
I hold your memory so close inside me,
Feelings I never understood, till I was lonely.

I yearn for your voice, I long for your touch.
I burn for the heat in every kiss you gave to me.
I need to know you're close, I need to know you care.
But most of all, I just need to know you're there.

All the colour is fading away,
My life is fading to shades of gray.
My tears crash down and break apart,
But now my tears become my heart.

You showed me a little piece of something,
I never thought could be.
I found a little piece of something,
Growing between you and me.

I yearn for your voice, I long for your touch.
I burn for the heat in every kiss you gave to me.
I need to know you're close, I need to know you care.
But most of all, I just need to know you're there.

I'm falling alone, I'm finding nothing on my own.
I'm losing control, I'm losing it all.
I can smile and I can laugh,
But it's not the same as it could be.
Sure, you can smile and you can laugh,
But it's not as good as it should be,
If you were with me.

I yearn for your voice, I long for your touch.
I burn for the heat in every kiss you gave to me.
I need to know you're close, I need to know you care.
But most of all, I just need to know you're there.

You hold my heart and you're unaware,
I wish that you were always there.
You hold my heart and you're unaware,
I wish that you were always there.
I just need you to know how I feel, 
I just need you to know how I feel,
Understand, my feelings are real.

I yearn for your voice, I long for your touch.
I burn for the heat in every kiss you gave to me.
I yearn for your voice, I long for your touch.
I burn for the heat in every kiss you gave to me.
I need to know you're close, I need to know you care.
But most of all, I just need to know you're there.

Hey Old Pal, Nice To See Nothing's Changed

Failure is a step up, when it comes to you.
Broken titles, whispered pasts.
No one's memories can last.

Tell me your pride, your secrets you hide.
Take a breath, open your eyes.
No one else could handle your lies.

Tied myself up again, looking around for a friend.
Remember when I looked to you?
Never thought the truth could be so, true.

Wrapped up in this tragically happy life of yours.
If you could be quiet for a moment, maybe you'd see.
You're all you'll ever let yourself amount to be.

It's a messed up world when you look out the window,
But take a look in the mirror,
Make your world a little more clear.

What's in front of your heart, holding the beat from the start.
Love and peace, hate and pain?
You think it all feels the same.

Success is a step down when it comes to you.
You waste no time, straight for the end.
Fairy tales don't tell you the ever after, because they can only end in failure.

Just step back for a moment, don't look to hard.
You'll hate to see that your life has started to rot.
Remove your eyes and see with your soul, failure is easy to spot.

One More Touch Baby, Just One More Touch

I know what you’re thinking, and I know what you want.
We’re almost there, and we haven’t been caught.
This isn’t as obvious as you may think,
One more touch baby, and one more drink.

I’ll show you how you can make my heart pound.
I’ll take you somewhere, we’ll never be found.
I’ll make it so obvious that you can clutch.
One more touch baby, just one more touch.

It’s not what I intended, its not what I thought,
Hunnie you’re falling apart, you’re beginning to rot!
Just loosen your lips, and open your mind.
I can be so mean, yet still be kind.

It’s not hard now, you’re almost there,
I can see you looking, I can feel your stare.
Just hold on tight, don’t let go.
It will feel fast, but really it’s slow.

On more touch baby, just one more touch.
You’ll make the difference, so it’ll seem as such.
I’ll pull you in for one last kiss,
Thanks dear friend for a night of bliss.

Begins To End

I’m aching to tell you a lie,
I’m aching so deep inside.
I think I’m in love, but what if I’m not?
If I lied, would I get caught?
I have so much hope, that maybe you love me.
But honestly, how could that be?

I want to rip out my beauty, in front of my eyes.
Inject hate in my veins, change my disguise.
Look at you, so blind, oblivious to the world,
Or is it me, blind, oblivious, this solitary girl.

Oh I think I’m in love, could it be true?
All this I’m feeling is because of you.
Oh I can’t breathe, I really can’t see,
This outcome here, what could it be?

I think it’s too late, this begins to end,
It’s almost out, I don’t want to lose my friend.
He loves me, he loves me not.
Stop, is it worth a shot?

How I Remain

Here, here I lay at the end,
There’s nothing left we can’t pretend.
I close the door the windows too,
There is no more, not a hint of you.
Erase my thoughts my feelings are gone,
I can’t hold on to an empty song.

Loneliness is creeping through the cracks in my window,
And I, I don’t know how I could be feeling like this when,
Well you know, I’m so in love with you,
I’m so in love with you.

Embrace this part of me and you’ll want to let me go,
Let me go.
Well I, I feel lower than I’ve ever been,
I’ve been pretty low,
Pretty, pretty damn low.

I, I feel worthless don’t you know,
I feel empty and so cold.
You know, you could hurt me so bad right now,
And you wouldn’t even know,
In fact I think you already have.

Where, where am I to go when I need to talk,
I got no one but my guitar.
What am I to do when I’m lost in thoughts of you,
When I’m needing to escape, escape this place,
This lonely place.

Loneliness is creeping through the cracks in my door,
You, you keep asking me, asking me for more,
I don’t have anymore.

I’m feeling lost, lost without,
Without doubt, you can’t ask, 
Ask what this is about,
I just regret,
No I didn’t say that.
I don’t regret I just gotta let it go,
Just gotta let it out
I don’t, I don’t, I don’t wanna let this feeling go.

I’m so in love with you,
But you’re slipping through
I’m so in love with you
Am I going to lose you, tonight?

Now I fall apart inside this darkness, darkness.
Now I fall apart inside your arms again, arms again.
As I drift away, what else is there for me to say.
I’m falling, apart.

I’m gone, I’m gone, I’m gone,
I’m gone, I’m gone, I’m gone,
I’m gone, I’m gone, I’m gone

I’m so in love with you, tonight.

Still after you’ve left, just laying in this bed.
This is, how I remain.
Oh how I remain.

Distant Whispers

I wrote a beautiful song about you, last night.
I wrote it on the edge of falling asleep,
But I lose it all, in my dreams.

Sitting on the edge of sleeping,
Losing everything in dreams.
I'll get inside I'll steal my heart,
Ferocious feelings wont tear me apart.

To think one thought to run away,
I'll lose it all if I stay.

I can't give up, I can't give in,
My life with you, I'm sure to win.

Lead, lead my down into your heart.
Hold, hold me close to your heart.
And we, we will never be apart...
Not at heart.

Sitting on the edge of sleep,
Losing everything in dreams.
waiting for the alarm to beep,
Let's wake up, wake up together.
Let's stay here, stay here together.

You can't stop, you can't stop, 
You can't stop me from catching him,
With my eyes.
You can't stop, you can't stop,
You can't stop him from reaching out,
And holding me.
You can't stop, you can't stop,
You can't stop us from loving, 
Each other.

Don't, don't lose my hand through this nighttime.
I'll stay, stay in your sight, lets make this our time.

Sitting on the edge of sleep,
Losing everything in dreams.
Waiting for the alarm to beep,
Let's wake up, wake up together.
Let's stay here, stay here forever.

To think one thought to run away,
I'll lose it all, if I stay...

The Pieces

Give me the moment, take it away.
It's not enough but that's okay.
It's getting better everyday,
When there's a chance you'll lose your way.

Remind me of when i wanted you.
Cuz sometimes I think, I still do.
Who are you, wherefore and why?
Find me a reason and maybe I'll try.

I'll try to find the pieces.
I'll try to put them together.
I'll try to find your heart.
I'll try to make it stronger.

Lay beside me, run away.
Take my hand babe, please stay.
It's getting better in every way,
When we're coming closer to our dying day.

Remind me of when you wanted me.
Cuz sometimes I think maybe you'll see.
Who am I, wherefore and why?
Find you a reason and maybe you'll try.

You'll try to find the pieces.
You'll try to put them together.
You'll try to find my heart.
You'll try to make it stronger.

Give me the moment, take it away.
Lay beside me, run away.
Take my hand babe, please stay.
It's not enough but that's okay.

Remind me of when I wanted you.
Cuz sometimes I think I still do.
Who am I, wherefore and why?
Find me a reason and maybe I'll try.

I'll try to find the pieces.
I'll try to put them together.
I'll try to find your heart.
I'll try to make it stronger.

Knot

I can feel you breathing down my neck,
I can see you staring right through me. 
Nothing but a knot you want to untie.
Get me loose, take me home, 
Just tell me I'll regret it, and I'll be there.

There's a knot in my mind telling me to rewind.
Take a step back, pretend it's a fact.
Can't have nothing without something. 
And it's hard to say that I've lost my way,
With this knot pulling me behind. 

I want to forget but still regret,
Every moment and every step.
Let loose, let go, bury myself in the snow.

I can smell you in the room.
I can hear you humming that tune.
Pull me out of the snow.
I'll regret that I've let go.
But I'll let the knot take control,
For there's never more than an empty hole.

Fading Light

Faded light in my hand growing dim can't pretend, 
As the light slips away, in the dark here I stay.
And I know that you're here, in the dark it's not clear,
But I feel what you feel, your emotions reveal.
How i am what you crave, your desires can't save.
All around, all around, in your grasp I'm not found.

Looking through shattered glass at nothingness,
Locked inside an empty room there's nowhere to hide.
Fading light...

Laying limp on the ground, as your body surrounds.
Then I see in your eyes, the glow of despise.
Pull me close hold me tight, in my mind it's not right,
To my heart, to my heart, you know I can't part.

Looking through shattered glass at nothingness,
Locked inside an empty room there's nowhere to hide.
Fading light...

Here I sit in this place, let the darkness erase.
Cause me pain, show me hate, laying here in this state.
In this dark the absence of light, love with flicker if you ignite.
Here I lay on my own, turn off the lights and welcome you home.

Looking through shattered glass at nothingness,
Locked inside an empty room there's nowhere to hide.
Fading light...
Fading light...
