Answer Me

April 27th, 2009

It started off like a math problem
Me plus you and the answer is unknown
Time went by and the equation was solved
And it’s going to end alone

It wasn’t me who solved it though
I wasn’t strong enough
It’s just the way it has to be
And I’m just not that tough

[Chorus:]
And when you hold my hand
You make it feel alright
The tears form in my eyes
And I don’t want to end tonight

Time keeps moving faster
And I’m spinning in confusion
All this time it was only me
Everything was an illusion

[Chorus:]
And when you hold my hand
You make it feel alright
The tears form in my eyes
And I don’t want to end tonight

I’ve never been so confused
I just don’t know what to do
I’ve never felt so afraid
I don’t want to lose you

[Chorus:]
And when you hold my hand
You make it feel alright
The tears form in my eyes
I just don’t want to end tonight

Go

April 9th, 2019

When I first met you
You’d take me on long drives
But your car became your escape
Now we’re living different lives

When I first met you
I loved all that you are
But the only thing you loved
Was the comfort of your car

[Chorus:]
All you do is go (go)
It’s tearing me apart
I’m keeping it together
When I have a broken heart
All you do is leave (leave)
Again you steer away
Even without words
You knew I wanted you to stay

Even at this time
I still want you to care
I don’t know who I am fooling
Because you were never there

Even at this time
I wonder how you are
The only sign you give
Is when you take off in your car

[Chorus:]
All you do is go (go)
Your car was our department
I’m keeping it together
And I’m ready to jump start
All you do is leave (leave)
Again on the freeway
Even without words
I know you’ll regret this someday

All you do is run (run)
You don’t know how to stay
I’m worth more than a car
It’s my turn to drive away

Note: I must have written that chorus months ago without ever physically writing it down. I couldn’t decide how I wanted it to go, so each time is a new verse. I don’t usually write songs, but I attempt every once in awhile!

That’s Not All

March 14th, 2006

You never answer when I call
You don’t catch me when I fall
You never helped guide me on my way
You just left me and pretended it was okay

Left me standing in the middle of the road
You taught me always to do what I was told
Thanks for trying to help me
You just guided me into insanity

[Chorus:]
Couldn’t you have at least said why
Couldn’t you have at least said goodbye
Couldn’t you have been here when I needed you
Because best friends always help you through

I thought we were best friends
But are we at our end?
You said that you would love me forever
Then you cracked under the pressure

[Chorus:]
Couldn’t you have at least said why
Couldn’t you have at least said goodbye
Couldn’t you have been here when I needed you
Because best friends always help you through

That’s not all, that’s not all
You could at least catch me when I fall
Or helped guide me on my way
But don’t leave me because it’s not okay
