The grass seemed greener
But it was just from all the weeds
Of course I didn't see that
Until the vines brought me to my knees
Those deep rolling valleys
Were just molehills pilled high
It appears as if the devil
Planned this as my demise
Thoughts of sailing home
Are the only hope that's left
If I don't escape here soon
I will surely run out of breath
Maybe I should have listened
To their pained goodbyes
Perhaps they sensed the storm
That has since been on the rise
There isn't the slightest breeze here
Nothing to carry me along
Or redirect the tremors
Caused by my latest mis-ry song
The flowers do not sway much
They just grow so they can die
I must be careful where I step
Or else dead petals torrent into the sky
I wish I could watch the stars
Without fear of them looking down
Upon my shrunken figure
Without accusing glares and frowns

There you go again
Acting like you never knew me
Turn your back and walk the other way
Movin' on, pretending like I was never there
But not this time

These scars that you left, will always be here
To remind me of how you pushed me away
But it's time to forget, time to start a new page

Broken pieces of my heart will never heal
I've got to fill these holes,
With promises that are genuinely real

Yeah, rub it in, you might've left your mark
But this is where I smear the line
It looks like this is your last time

Shattered and broken, left in the open
Without your protection
Then as I lay there, I glimpsed my reflection
When did I become as fake as you?

These scars that you left, will always be here
To remind me of how you pushed me away
But it's time to forget, time to start a new page

Broken pieces of my heart will never heal
I've got to fill these holes
With promises that are genuinely real

You've clouded my mind, created my fears
But these memories will fade
I'm glad I didn't stay

Burn another hole in my ol' tin heart
Snuff it out with old flames
I never imagined you would know
And say no
And I'm toughin' it out, trying to play strong
I don't know why everythone thinks I'm gone

But I'm still here
In my own way
I'm still here
Countin' the days
Wishing it would all
Just go away

Cut your own red wound
Bandage it up with old pain
I never imanged you would know
And say no
Now just try to understand
I'm doing the beset I can

But I'm still here
In my own way
I'm still here
Countin he days
Wishing it would all
Just go away

Strangle all my new found hope
Fix it up with old games
And say no

But I'm still here
In my own way
I'm still here
Countin' the days
Wishing it would all
Just go away

For you, I think I'm dyin'
But I'd still pretend one more time

She's got a head full of decisions that she never made
Answers she just couldn't get
Rough at the edges, frayed at the tips
Like a rope that's been too tightly gripped
Alone at the wheel with angels that forgot to ascend
All her roads lead to forks, all her forks to split ends

When given a chance, she can't make up her mind
Her mind is too complex to define
Words and troubles and all of the stress
She struggles to reach her best
The world revolves without her
As she sits there, preoccupied with what is to come

She's got a head full of decisions that she never made
Answers she just couldn't get
Rough at the edges, frayed at the tips
Like a rope that's been too tightly gripped
Alone at the wheel with angels that forgot to ascend
All her roads lead to forks, all her forks to split ends

Levers and pulleys and fast turning gears
All simple machines all knowledge she fears
Puzzles and mazes, stages and phases
That she can't seem to escape

She's got a head full of decisions that she never made
Answers she just couldn't get
Rough at the edges, frayed at the tips
Like a rope that's been too tightly gripped
Alone at the wheel with angels that forgot to ascend
All her roads lead to forks, all her forks to split ends

Challenges and trials
She learned how to smile
Her world is returning anew

No not today
I'm not the same
Girl I was before
I'm not crying on the floor
Waiting for you to say
"Everything's gonna be okay"
'Cause I know, that it is
Now I'm my own everything
My instrument, my symphony
And I'm fine on my own
I don't need you anymore
and now I'm pour-ing
My heart out in this song

Let's take some time
To process the mood
That determines the outcome
Of what we cannot choose
Succesfull or screwed

You heard two hearts
Are better than one
So you ripped mine in half
And watched as I fell apart

If you listen closely
You might get lucky and hear
A chorus of tainted cries
But time goes by

Try to stare
It's rather rude
And frankly not fair
But I'm still standing here

So let's take some time
To process the mood
That determines the outcome
Of what we cannot choose
Broken or bruised
And yet again I lose

Stars collide
And days go by
Till you finally realize
That this has been going on
Too long

When we walk on such a thin line
We're bound to slip up and fall
Sometimes

You've chosen your life
And I've chosen mine
But it's come time for you to decide
Is it all really worth it

Now I'm not trying to casually mention
How they did nothing but
Thicken the tension
Between us

Instead I'll say it to your face
That you've been mistakingly displaced
Lately

You've chosen your life
And I've chosen mine
But it's come time for you to decide
Does anyone really deserve this?

Can you read me?
Are my secrets scribbled on my face?
Everything that tO strived to hide
Was all my effort wasted?

Can you hear me?
Are my screams just whispers?
Everything that I tried to tell
Was all my effort wasted?

Can you see me?
Are my gestures unnoticed?
Everything that I wanted to convey
Was all my effort wasted?

When it's all said and done
All my effort wasted.

And I told you that you can’t find miracles in glass bottles full of paper stars, but you insisted and bought it anyways. You bathed in those stars, hoping that their luster would somehow rub off on you, but they were just the crushed pulp of trees wrapped around some stranger’s hot air. Your tub was full of full of forced exhalations, worthless carbon dioxide, that was almost as invisible as you.

He'll walk all over you
Before you can even move
He'll continue playin' games
If you don't act now
You're the one to blame

You're just his doormat
You're just for show
Something to look at
As he comes and goes

Don't let him fool you
He's just a fake
You keep giving
But all he does is take

Time to move on
Keep your distance
You don't wanna be
That girl with dispositions

So back on up girl
Drive far away
Don't let his lies
Keep you at bay

Open your eyes
So you can see
Please don't make
The same mistake as me

I'll count the seconds until we're alone
I'll get this tinging in all my bones
I can't seem to stay away from you
Not that I want to

You're the air I breathe
Please don't soffocate me

Breathing you in
Is making me whole again
I'm sorry that I can't control my feelings
But you're suddenly all I see

I'll count the days til you're ready
I'll stand by you untill you're steady
I can't seem to keep my mind off you
Not that I want to

You're the air I breathe
I hope that someday you'll feel the same about me

Breathing you in
Is making me whole again
I'm sorry that I can't control my feelings
But you're suddenly all I need

Two souls, two fates
One bond just waiting to break
As your web of lies grew thicker
You wound me up and pulled the trigger

I wateched as you ran ahead
Only to be bounced back again
It really is a shame
That there can only be one winner in this game

Suprised by this outcame?
so am I
But when that rain (when the pain) poured down
I got soaked, while you ran inside
It's a little too late for regrets now

Look who got the upper hand
It pays to play in the dirt rather than the sand
You might get slightly messy, but that's exactly the plan

It's way too late for regrets now

And I'll take you by the hand
Hold you up until you learn to stand
Don't have to thank me, seeing you in enough
Seeing you back on your feet, finally waking up
Your words break the silence
Hear that pure, hollow sound
Echoing softly in your ear
A new level of serenity found

Please
Try to understand
I'm doing the best that I can
No!
Don't do this to me again

Tell me why does it seem
Like my everything
Is somehow connected to you
Tell me is this just a dream
So I don't scream
These lies you claimed were true

Here you go again
Draining this life away from me
Even my puffy eyes can see
This isn't how love's supposed to be

You killed two hearts with one lie
You told me everything was fine
That she was just a friend
Woah! It's too late to pretend

Bonds can't be broken no matter the distance
But sometimes you can't help but wonder
If it ever existed
The lives that we live in
The roads that we choose
Each step wears a new hole in your shoes
Driven by the anger we feel inside
Hold on tight
This ride's barely begun
But you still grip the bars
So many have let go
And gone backwards from start
They stumble around until they finally give up
Don't reach out for them, they're already stuck
We know what could happen
If decide to let go one day
And let the waves carry us where ever they may
But somehow we still feel tempted
Think we have a chance if we choose not to listen

And when my body decays
And my ashes blow away
In the wind, I'll remain
In your heart, Through the strains
And the tears, that will stream
Down your face, And you'll hope it's a dream
More like a nightmare, that cuts through
Your heartstrings, or at least the few
That survived
