Out Of The Blue


Once upon a sleepless night,
Your smile brought me back to life
From wherever I'd been
Like some kind of Sleepless dream
You pulled me from a place so in between
Now I'm on the mend

Out of the blue 
I found myself wrapped up in you
All if a sudden I'm all butterflies and happy things.  
If I'm sleepin I can be sure you'll be there in my dreams
And when I'm awake you remind me what alive means
Lovin' your goofy grin.
Don't care if it's wrong 
Just passing time Til I'm in your arms again.

My Life In A Song

Don't know if it's killing me or making me stronger.  
These days, my days keep getting longer,
But I'm still getting nothing done.
What do I expect from life?
To keep up, just for one.
How can I move forward when this chapter's just begun?

I may not like who I've been
Straight from the beginning, all the way to the end.
The girl I dreamed I'd be...
Isn't exactly who I've become.
Now I'm trying to believe that
After all the rain will come the sun.
I'd rather feel the pain than be numb.

Don't know what to do so I write it all down.
No one to listen, so the sounds bounce around in my head.
And Despite what I've always said,
I won't ever stop wishin' on stars. 
If light can travel that far,
I can find faith and press on.
At least the world will hold something of me when I'm gone.
My life in a song.

On the rim of my eye rests a tear.
On my shoulder's the weight of the world.
Being grown up isnt half I thought it would be
When I was just a little girl.
All I know I've learned stumbling stubbornly.
And each day, I'm not who I used to be. 
When the tears fall,
they get wiped away by no one at all.

Stand on the edge of the ocean.
Might as well sail off the edge of the Earth.
Find perspective....
Find a moment to hold.
A place to find shelter when the house of cards folds.
You need a new directive.
Surely life can be at least some of what you expected.

Feel


I may not like who I've been
From beginning to end
The girls I once dreamed  if being
Isn't exactly what I've become
With the wind I've changed
And after the rain will come the sun.
I'd rather feel the pain than be numb

Day Past Deciet

If things aren't quite what you'd hoped they'd be,
Imagine how it feels to be me
Sleeping in a room I was happily called ours.
Your pictures staring back at me,
I'm so confused, still can't believe
That a lie was worth more to you than my heart in the end.
Yet you lied to me again and again,
No excuse cuz you were sober then,
Even without the booze you're not innocent.
Call out to an empty apartment,
Silence proves you're not here.
All we did, all it ever meant,
Is now as pointless as my tears.

If losing you was my greatest fear,
I shouldn't feel so scared without you here.
Fearless should have found me by now.
Lonely won't do justice for,
The solitary confinement that's in store for me.
Was so foolish to beieve,
Whatever percentage you actually met.
Why couldn't you just say what you mean?
Didn't care if you hurt me I bet.

I can't write it off saying "people change".
Huge mistake I made thinking we were the same.
Now I'm coming apart at the seams,
And these two precious little girls don't understand
what it all means...
They say they miss you and we all cry.
Wish I hadn't let you in their life,
Or in mine for that matter.  
Pieces of it are all left scattered.
Hard to keep it all contained.
Want to sit you down,
And have you explain a few things for me.
If I could trust that you would do it truthfully,
I could finally get some peace
Finally having some answers or 
at least letting you know how I felt.
You were worried about my health,
Now it's you that's killing me.
Feel so confused, on this day past deceit.  

Blessing


Unconfortability is challenging 
And life keeps is guessing 
See the change as a blessing 
For it keeps us aware

Dear Abbey


I told a lie today
You asked what I was thinking
The ache in my heart
Didn't stop me from repeating
The usual words, I'm okay
You didn't want to hear me say
That I doubt you
And then it occurred to me
We can't go on this way but I
Just don't know what to do.

So i write Dear,Dear Abbey
Tell me what's the matter with me
Why am I asking you what I already know?
So many contradictions
Hung up on the encryption
Hold on for dear life,
If you love them let them go
Trust the voices in my head
Or the beating just below?

Fight For Love

There's a breaking point.
You can feel it drawing near.
makes the reason two pieces fit seem unclear.
Push it away, find peace in rage.
It means there's something still.
So you fight for it.
It's worth it.

Don't let it go so easily.
Don't set up a hard fall.
When you think you might be done,
They might see no problem at all.
But love like life has its ups and downs.
Balance Usually comes along.
Hold On Strong to Love.
These hard times, you can rise above.
