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

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

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

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

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

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

Before It's Too Late

I want to go to Vegas and gamble away the money I don't have.
I want to go to Italy and take a picture next to the Leaning Tower of Pisa to make it look like I'm the one holding it up. 
I want to climb Mount Everest. 
I want to go to Ireland and see where my ancestors came from. 
I want to go to all 50 states, twice. 
I want to walk into a bookstore and see my name on a cover. 
I want to find someone on America's Most Wanted.
I want to go on a boat and not get sea sick. 
I want to run down a hill of grass and calapse at the bottom surronded by dandelions. 
I want to speak a foreign language and actually understand what is going on.
I want to dance in the rain. 
I want to throw my hands up towards the sky and ask where my life is going.
But most of all, I want to live without a care in the world.

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

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

A Daily Life

Looking around she wonders what the point is to it all
Everyone walks out
No one seems to care, so why should she
Life is too complicated
Too much to deal with on a daily basis
It could all be over with one swift motion
Yet she keeps going
Hoping everyday that somehow it will all get better
But everyday continues to be the same
Like life is on repeat
