You’d say, I’m quick to gain a complex. I can’t help but believe every word you say. I’ll hold on to every single sentence. And hang them all neatly in this frame of mind you put me in. I can’t explain, I can’t begin, the answer’s trapped behind a kiss, the way I feel, about you. And for the sake of argument, I hold my heart in plain view, in the palms of my hands, to show that it beats for you, and only you. Am I coming on, am I coming on strong, as this pen touches paper? Every line is more then a line just for you, it’s the truth and I swear it. When I hold you, do I hold you too close? It’s beginning to play on my mind; will you love me then, like you love me now? These are the questions I find. I’ll pray, to feel this young forever. For me to be everything you need. I’ll give you the life you’ve always wanted. Open your eyes wide enough to see that I am here for you, through thick and thin, I’ll hold my cool, I want you right beside my heart it I’m whole when I’m around you.

Pick apart, the still frames of my heart. I don’t know where we’re going, or how did we start? Tomorrow, wont you wont you lie next to me? Tomorrow, wont this world leave us be? Tell me you are the one for me, and I’ll never leave your side. Open your heart to me, and we’ll lie right here, through the night.

Fingertips

Time used to pass oh so slowly, but now my life flashes before my eyes. Faster than I can count on my fingers, so many new doors mean some new goodbyes. And I'm holding on holding strong, to these fingertips that I can't count on. Your touch used to be so gentle, but now coarse to me it feels so cold. You used to be the one I'd count on, and I still love you but this game got old. And I'm holding on holding strong, to your hand so cold but not for long. And I'm holding on holding strong, to these fingertips that I can't count on. And you’d say that you can’t love someone who love’s himself, and now I’d say that we were never compatible, but deep down I’m so self-loathing, and the truth is we’re both just lying to ourselves. And I still remember when I first met you, with that poster there right by your side. I used that to spark some conversation, since that meeting been so many nights. And I'm holding on holding strong, to those conversations in my memories. And I can't forget when I first kissed you; time seemed to fly as our eyes were sealed. I only say these things to evoke emotion, just so you know exactly how I feel. And I'm holding on holding strong, to the taste that's on my lips. And I'm holding on holding strong, to these fingertips that I can't count on. And now I ask the question, is it so out of the question, for you to forget my name, so we can start again?

Clutching At Straws

As I pace these narrow corridors, my feet drag across this wooden floor.
And I feel like I’m not living, up to your greatest expectations. But I will stay at arms reach because, it seems all I ever do is prove myself to you. Have I still not done enough to replace this lost trust? It seams all I ever say is I need you to stay the same way. Have I still not done enough? And we can clutch at these straws, knowing they might be our greatest downfall. But I’ll still hold you close to me, because I never stopped loving you. And I will stay at arms reach because. Have I still not done enough? Have I still not done enough? No it seams all I ever say is I need you to stay the same way. Have I still not done enough?

Heartbreak

It’s been a long time, since I saw you. I can’t remember your face, or see your smile, brighten up my day. And I don’t have any pictures of us or you. The only evidence of us is the broken heart in my chest. It’s been a long time, since you left me. I still remember the day; I lost my heart, and my faith in love. You’re always inside of me. And you’re always taunting me. Your never going let me move on, are you?

Risks

I would lie here, until the clocks stop, till my mouth cease’ to move. I could lie here, and let the world pass me by till my bones turn to dust. But is it safe to say a word here, I’m frightened I’ll wake you. But is it safe to say, anything, to anyone, I’m scared that I’ll push you away. I would risk everything just to have you by my side. And I would risk everything just to have you one more time. And I would risk, everything, for your hand to touch my hand for your skin to touch mine, if only, for one nightAnd if you’ll have me, I’ll give you my heart, I’d tear it right out from my chest. And if you’ll have me, I’ll bear you my soul, I’m wide open, I’d tear down these ties that keep us apart, I’d break down these walls, and fill your life with my love everlasting, I ‘d never let you down, I’ll show you just the kind of man, this boy grew up to be, I’ll make you see. And I would risk everything just to have you by my side. And I would risk everything just to have you one more time. And I would risk, everything, for your hand to touch my hand for your skin to touch my skin, if only, for one night. And I would risk, everything for tonight.
