write down everything
that you think
it’s a matter of time before there’s nothing
left of me
i hate to admit it
but how could i forget it
after all the years that have passed by
i see your eyes
flashing red lights
like a thunderous storm
songs about heartbreak they’re
always love
but sometimes that’s not true
it was impossible to live my life
but you made it possible
i was incommunicado in my own thoughts
i would’ve waited forever
til you slipped into the picture
i was painting
you would’ve been the wrong color
and i know i’m a failure
but sometimes that’s what reminds me i’m human
but i think now is the time
it appears when you need it the most
and i know i’m asking for a lot
i think i finally saw
what it might be like
to get out of that bubble
it seemed too good to be true
my dreams i thought would never happen
all look so much like you
i know how it feels to be alone
i’ve wandered astray
i’ve been lost
i am not very sure about life in life
but you could do the same damage with a knife
as a quill pen
i kind of miss the feeling
it had a certain thrill
but if i could do it all again
i would say
i will
