Life Saver.

Prove my words wrong

I wake to the sound of a quiet voice that says "Don't worry cause it's ok"
I slept in the bed that you built me once and I'll sleep in it tonight
I guess it just saddens me to know
You'll never get to say my name again
To my face
I guess it just saddens me to know
I'll never see you again

I'll only hear you when you whisper
and tell me that everything is fine
When you tell me these lies
And I still have open ears

In the autumn of my life
I'll remember that you left me by spring
And when my sun sets I'll remember that you left by the sunrise
And it seemed to be enough
Well it seemed to be enough for you to affect me
More than you could know

In the autumn of my life
I'll wake to the sound of your voice that says "It's ok"
and when my sun sets
I'll sleep in the bed that you built me
And the tired from my eyes won't fade
Fade Away

Thoughts of you

Thoughts of you bring tears of rain which distracts my gaze. Presence of fear remains within me as if invading my space. A feeling of uselessness that will forever burn within my being. If life is so precious why do I lack the urge to need it.

It's just guidance that I seek
can I rely on you.

I'm all alone with all these memories. Memories I hate yet love. I've been here before like so many others. The pain is just something I must rise above.

And I know you'll ignore all my begging cause you've done it plenty before.

In the Palm of your hand

I stand next to you
and I want you to understand
the lines in the palm of your hand

You speak of what's wrong
but you never notice what you have
You'll never wonder what you have

So you come clean
then you wait so long to be
someone who smiles for more than just a while
let's start your life tonight

I stand next to you
and I still want you to understand
the lives in the palm of ur hand


Folding on a perfect hand

So these are the cards that your life's dealt you
So these are the cards that you dealt with
Your sleeves are rolled up to your elbows
and the sweat comes down down down

The smoke filled air is unwilling to share the breath that you need here
And maybe you'll drink that toxic thing that's made your friends disappear
And you'll stay all night trying to figure out who's bluffing right
and when you do you'll be broke
Your hand is bold with the cards that it holds and you think that you'll fold

And you see her, across from the table, she's willing and able but you say
that you're not too, that you're not too sure tonight

And now you fear you're merely posing in a game that you pretend to know
And it's ok, cause when you look at her she seems to be the cure of the game in which you lose you pose

And you see her, across from the table
she's willing and able but you say
that your not too, that your not too sure tonight
And its ok, cause her smiles contagious, her skin is near ageless
and you seem to have her symptoms today

Friends

This paper I gaze at is thin
but it thickens with every word
for my heart is gradually pouring
neatly between every line

Tell me, when's the last time a
girl like you put down in words
how a guy like me makes you feel

We walk in tandem together
but my mind senses otherwise
who wants a nice boy anyway
who's looking for a good guy
now I grow tired of explaining myself and I wonder how many pens it will take me to finish this song

These days a gorgeous girl by your side means that you're just this week's lifetime movie, that you're just this week's drama story

I'll tell you, the same damn gorgeous girl's gonna dump you, go home crying,
she'll call me, tell me that she wants to vent
and I'll be there cause I'm her friend

Top 5

A cold November morning
Allows me to show some emotion
And those leaves, they grow ever so plentiful
Vivid colors, vivid dreams

This is the last time that I'm going to predict what's next

It all seemed so surreal
My dark jacket stands out against the grey backdrop
As those last goodbyes were said
The light shown down on you

Trying hard to keep the words from coming out
Making sure my voice didn't quiver, didn't crack
Teary eyed I stood as you walked away
You never looked back

I guess I'm sorry
But if you really wanted to mess me up
You would have gotten to me sooner

I'll take this harder than you will ever know
When you walked out the door and left me alone
This will be a night for the record books
With the keys that you leave, and the heart that you took
