Alone (With You)

I dream of you
What if it’s true
What if we were meant to be
Just you and me
But it’s only a dream
And I wake up alone
And I’m still at home
And you’re gone
Your lips were so close
Now so far away
I don’t know where they went
I don’t know where they lay
I know you’ve seen me
I know you stare
But so far away
You’re never there
Do you think of me
The way that I do
Or am I alone
Are you alone too
I don’t know you
I only wish I did
You’re the kind of person
I just can’t forget
You’re engraved in my mind
I can always see you smile
And when you’re gone
It’s only for a while
Cause down the street
That’s where you stay
And though it’s close
You’re too far away

Lying

Lying in the middle of the road
Where Shadowcrest met Chesbro
It never felt so right
With all those people around
But I could only see you
And then you were gone
I never had you
I’d be lying if I said I never wanted you
Lying down when you’re pacing my room
On the phone with her
All I wanted was those words for me
But they would never be
I’d be lying if I said I never loved you
Lying in my bed
Our lips are slowly meeting
But your phone is buzzing
Because she’s texting you
And I wished your eyes were only for me
But they couldn’t see
I’d still be lying if I said I never wanted you to love me

The Broken Glass

I am more broken
Than the eggshells on the floor
I tiptoe quietly
Because this became a war
No sudden movements
No need to sound the alarm
But you pierce me with your words
Like they’re shot from firearms
These eggshells are sharp
On my feet that are bare
And for years I waited on a sign
That you wanted to be there
I made wishes on eyelashes
And every underpass
I walked through hell for you
But I won’t walk on shattered glass
