Title: My eyes burn
My eyes burn from these tears you'd think I'd learn over the years Good things won't last forever So what the hell am I supposed to do You only wanted the things I couldn't give to you and you had it all anywaySo take, take everything and leave me, scrambling Reaching for something that wasn't there in the first place Tell me I'm wrong when I say I can't expect you To spend forever with me I live for that single moment I take back everything I said You wore, those words on your lips as if they, meant anything anyway Sometimes I feel I could drop off the face of the earth it seems I do more harm than good I don't know if its worth me losing sleep over this

Title: Playing for keeps
Its so simple and complicated the way you can crush me No matter how much this hurts This is through I get as far as your door before I get caught I make up excuses just to touch you and I can't stop, I can't stop So are we playing for keeps These days begin and they don't end for weeks Leave me left out of anything to do with you Excuse me while I fall apart don't flatter yourself sweetheart Let me take the wheel and I'll crash this car Do you have to make this So hard Your so good At pretending everything is alright Your as welcome as cancer but my door is always unlocked

Title: She'll never understand
Leave a message on your phone Just to find out your not home Keeping up with you is something I could never do And I know somethings wrong cause you've been gone to long a fucking waste of my time is all that you've become If I can't be the guy That you always wanted me to be If I can't say the words That you always wanted me to say If I fall in the end Will you be holding onto to me Cause you said you'd never leave me The choice is up to you To find out what to do To let it go or to keep kicking me to the side getting tired of your shit and I can't deal with it I gave up giving in and now its time to say goodbye

Title: Stay tonight
49 hours and 46 min. to go but whose counting I just thought I'd let you know I filled my head with your voice and now I'm drowning I wrote this song for you You can stay tonight and make everything alright you can hold me and tell me that your right tell me whats it like to be alone and we had this down unlike everybody I'll spend a million nights just like tonight you know I screamed your name at the sky until I lost my voice I'd give my life for you

Title: The greatest fall (of all time)
The hand of my clock strikes two In times when I got the best of you We made promises we couldn't keep And every night we couldn't sleep. I didn't know why, but didn't ask questions because it was the first time in my life, yeah the first time in my life Where I, did something right. I set myself up for the greatest fall of all time You pick me apart While I search for witty things to say (In my defense) "You'll never amount to anything anyway" (Don't press your luck, don't press your luck) And think that I'm impressed with your one night stands and your contagious kiss I'm trying to get this right Yeah, cause I'm ridiculas like that I'll keep this as A constant reminder Of the nights I spent holding onto her And rest assured I'm moving on I miss you less, with each day your gone (your gone)

Title: Silhouette
Your eyes, followed me here.
Your eyes, seamless and sure.
They leave me broken and, in need of a cure.
Your eyes, followed me here.
Your eyes, sifting my soul.
They leave me broken hands, those diamonds from the coal.
They lace me along,
Giving synapse of white lines.
Then chasing the dawn,
Story book syntax.
Your eyes slit the throat, of all I know.
About myself and this life.
Silhouette lies.
And your eyes, speaking in tongues.
Vigilant still, filling my lungs.
Testing my will.
They leave me broken and, bruised and bleeding.
Your eyes, resting in flame,
Leaven me breathless again.
Like hydrogen spread on fault lines.
Or dead, kissing me with exposure to radon.
Your eyes slit the throat, of all I know.
About myself and this life.
Silhouette lies.
Your eyes, Your eyes.
Speaking in tongues.
Vigilant still, lead our way.
Filling my lungs.
Testing my will.
You slit the throat, of I know.
About myself and this life.
Silhouette Lies.
You slit my throat.
Because I know,
That this life, is a lie.
So slit my throat.
