Help Her

I started to write you this song
The day that everything went wrong
You think I have it all together
And that I’m as light as a feather
You can’t see the pain from my past
All I ever do is see you fast
You want your life to be perfect
It’s not fair you excel in every subject
It was fine when you were by yourself
My life story is somewhere on a shelf
Now you’re taking someone else down with you
We all used to be stuck together like glue
I can see your pain
I will always feel I’m the one to blame

Lost Memories

I’ll never get to heaven or even to L.A.
I know I hold grudges but I never get my way
You’re out there living the American dream
While I’m sitting here alone trying to be me
You make fun of everything I do
But everything is for you
I wish I could smile
It’s been such a long while
I have nightmares when I sleep
Now all I ever do is weep
I’ve got a lot on my mind
I still secretly wish you could have been mine

Moving On

I thought there was something in your eyes when you looked my way
Ever since then my world has been gray
We had a lot in common but you’ll never know 
I’ve never been one to go with the flow
I thought we had a chance but once again I was wrong
For the sake of everyone I’ve tried to be strong
I still see you around
The sight of you makes me fall to the ground
You judged me before you knew 
You don’t know what I’ve been through
I hope your happy now
I’ll move on some way, some how

Life After You

Life will never be the same
You are the one to blame
It seems you think everything is okay
This will all be over in May
You don’t think any of it was true
I couldn’t give you a bigger clue
Everything is for attention
Our group is full of tension
I can’t take the names you’ve called me
It’s so plain to see
I hope the rest of your life is pathetic
Thanks to you my life is poetic

Saving a Heart

She thinks of him as her everything 
The contant rock in her life 
Keeping everything together 
The one she calls when she's happy and even when she's sad 
She sees him as her forever 
Then finds out he's not so sure 
That he doesn't think that way 
Is unsure of the future 
She's left feeling alone again 
Like the one person she thought she knew completely is nothing like that image at all 
She's left to contemplate her own future 
To stay and see where it goes 
Or to save her heart and know when to walk away

No More

Today I realized everyone is moving in a different direction
I knew before graduation I had to write you this reflection
Lives are changing and lockers are no more
High school was just one big bore
Lives were shattered
And nothing ever mattered
We tried to smile and fake our laughter
There’s no such thing as ever after
Some our moving out 
And our futures hold a lot of doubt
I just wanted to say that some of it was fun
But it doesn’t matter because it’s all done

A Secret Past

When I came into this world life was perfect
I didn't have to think about every day
Now life has moved in a different direction
I've tried so hard to get your affection

The rain helps me hide my tears
They've gathered over the years
You don’t know what I’ve had to endure
It’s a miracle they found a cure
I regret holding it in for the past years
I didn’t want you to share my fear

I tried to live my childhood as normal as could be
Don’t be mad for me trying to be me
I tried to tell just someone
But you can’t tell one and call it done

Everyone tries to hide his or her past
At last, mine is no longer a secret
I hope you’re not upset
It was just something I tried to forget

My secret haunts me in my sleep
Our friendship is something I want to keep
I hope you don’t hold this against me
Now we’re closer than we’ll ever be

You

I told myself I wouldn’t do it but once again I’ve lied
There have been too many times I have cried
I fell hard for you when it was wrong
Everyday is a struggle to be strong

All I wanted was to know how you felt
Like the wicked witch I used to melt
Part of me wonders if you looked at me like I thought you did
I’ve wanted to be in love since I was a kid

It’s too late now, you had your chance
I thought we would be together from that first glance
I’m going to get a fresh start
But forever you will be in my heart

Where Are We Now?

I lie here in the dark, just waiting for your call 
Since day one all we've done is fight 
There's a point when I don't think I can take it anymore 
All the words I say you think are a lie 
I can't make you believe me 
I can't change what you think of me 
I've poured my heart out, but you still think I'm not all in 
But I am
More than you seem to know 
It's now up to you and what you want to believe 
I won't wait forever 
That's just not right and just not me
Make your decision 
But I can't promise to be here when you decide to believe me or not 
It's now or never 
You only live once so live for the moment
The moment is now

Are You Gone Forever?

I have so many things I want to say to you
I miss what we had
You wanted another try and then took it back. 
My world is out of control and you were the only one who could ever fix it.
You knew what to say to put a smile on my face, to make my troubles cease
Now there is no one 
I doubt I will ever get back what I lost. 
Not a day goes by when you don’t cross my mind
 He’s here, but it’s silent
We’re together, but I’m still alone
I was scared of what we had
Scared at how much you cared
You were what I wanted for so long but let walk away when I had it 
I hope you’re happy now 
I get by from day to day
