My Stranger

September 19th, 2009

Stranger in the alley
Venom on her lips
Painted nails
Red to the tips
It was so dark outside
But you’d have to be blind not to see
The hurt in her eyes
Shining so visibly
She was freckled in goosebumps
But warm to the touch
And deep in her eyes
She had been hurt so much
Years of pain live in her
She grew up alone
And when wanting to talk
There was nobody home
And her eyes spoke to me
They were words she’d never say
Everything she’d ever loved
Has been taken away
It’s hard to believe
All that you can tell
The look in her eyes
Showed her walk through hell
And her weak appearance
Was all too wrong
Because alone in an alley
This stranger was strong

I Will Fall Asleep At Night

August 18th, 2009

Have you ever been confused
And been told that it’s alright
But you know that it’s not
Cause it keeps you up at night

Have you ever looked in the mirror
Not knowing who you were
And every one that mattered
Just made you more unsure

[Chorus:]
Looking in the mirror
What’s wrong with my eyes
Hard to imagine
I broke down to cry
I thought I was stronger
Just like you thought you were right
And once you’re gone
I will fall asleep at night

Did it even matter
I let you close to me
It was hard at first
But then I told you everything

You saw me when I was weak
Didn’t bother to make me strong
And you put me down again
To prove you’re the one who’s wrong

[Chorus:]
Looking in the mirror
What’s wrong with my eyes
Hard to imagine
I broke down to cry
I thought I was stronger
Just like you thought you were right
And once you’re gone
I will fall asleep at night

I can’t stand you at all
I could never stand your lies
So I didn’t even care
Every time I saw you cry

I won’t give you more attention
I’ve given you enough
And as weak as I was
You’re the one who made me tough

[Chorus:]
Looking in the mirror
What’s wrong with my eyes
Hard to imagine
I broke down to cry
I thought I was stronger
Just like you thought you were right
And once you’re gone
I will fall asleep at night

Give Me Back Myself

July 27th, 2009

You break me down to my weakest point
And I want to lock the door
But there’s no reason
Things still get in
I still get out
I’ve told you most of who I really am
Things I’ve never said in person
Things I’ve never wanted to write
I’ve told you
But it didn’t mean anything
I’m still just some girl
We’ll never be close
You don’t even try
And I don’t want to be
You trick me so much
You force me to trust
And it feels right at the moment
Then by the end, I feel empty
I feel I’ve said too much
I’ll never get it back
I’ve lost that part of myself
I never wanted to give this much of me to anyone
But for some reason it was you
For some reason you were different
But really you’re no different than anyone else
You only let me down
You make me make mistakes
And I don’t know if you’re one
But it feels like you are
I’ve grown miserable again
And it started because of you
I don’t want to take the blame
Could this really be my fault
You never let it stop
I got too caught up
And you don’t even care
About how much I care
And I don’t know why I do
There’s just no reason to
I’ve tried to let go
But you trick me again
I can’t wait ’til you leave
Because maybe this might end
And it may sound mean
That I want you to go
But I’m sick of holding on
To someone I don’t know
