storytime....
I asked her to stay
But she wouldn't listen
She left before I had the chance to say..
Every night you cry yourself to sleep
Thinking "Why does this happen to me?
Why does every moment have to be so hard?"
Hard to believe that
It's not over tonight
The weight of the things that remain
”Let me get what I want
This time
Haven't had a dream in a long time
See, the life I've had
Could make a good man bad
So for once in my life
Let me get what I want
Lord knows, it would be the first time”
you are young but so am i
and this is wrong, but who am i to judge
i feel like heaven when we touch
i guess for me this is enough
we're one mistake from being together
but let's not ask why it's not right
you won't be seventeen forever
and we can get away with this tonight.
you are young and i was scared
you're wise beyond your years, but i don't care
I put myself in that position every single time I have the chance
But 20 years of bad decisions haven't taught me much at all
“I know it's not my business to be digging up these things I shouldn't know
In separate events you're making everyone pretened it's not your fault
You know you own my body, but don't think that you control my mouth
Having every question answered isn't gonna help at all
When you're not supposed to know
It's pretty clear -- the truth, I mean -- it's written here on every single page
I'm smitten but not stupid; I can read it all over your face
Cuz I'm not so sure why I'm here and why I wanna
Keep on hanging 'round right now
Not that I do it now or any day
Sometimes I just get burned out
About lots of things and well just doubt
Why am I so misunderstood cuz I wanna know this
you got something bad and I want it
Even though I know it's wrong
But I won't be blessed cuz I know this so I can't have that
so
Drink up baby, stay up all night
With the things you could do
You won't but you might
The potential you'll be that you'll never see
The promises you'll only make”
Cause it's not that I don't want you,
It's that I don't want you here tomorrow morning,
Just want here right now, Just want you for the night.
And I still don't know exactly who I am
I never will, amen.
Built up so much it crushed us everyday
Just give me one more chance to make it right
She whispers something in my ear, the message is unclear
She motions outside.
I trail her closely from behind
She tries hard not to cry
She shakes underneath the pouring rain
"I can't compete with all your damn ideas
This isn't working out for you or me
The truth is I'm too tired to play pretend
Cause you're spineless and too much to take
And my kindness was a big mistake
It gets me nowhere…
You can't keep safe what wants to break
I'm alone in this
I'm as I've always been"
She's lost in this
She's like she'll always be
