You are further away from me
Than I ever expected you to be
And sometimes now I’ll think of you and it won’t hurt at all
But the ice is thin and once in awhile it cracks open
There’s things I want to tell you like the trip I took to Austin and everything new
And the songs I love now that I think you would love too
But then I remember the twisted things you said to me
And the manipulation acts
And the words I said back that I will always regret
And I know that it’s good that we’re gone
Sometimes I remember the tunes to your songs
And I’ll have to catch myself and not hum along
You used to play them for me
And tell me what they mean with a sad look on your face
I start to let go but then I smell cinnamon scents and see your fingerprints on my piano keys and then it starts all over
The ways we’ve changed in opposite ways
The way you put your hands on my face
Knowing I didn’t want you to
The things you said that messed with my head
I should be over it by now
I should be over it by now
But when I’m in my hometown
In my little room
And all the places
I used to know you
The ghost of you’s around
But I should be over it by now
I should be over it by now
I will get over it
Somehow

She doesn’t want to give away the faded flowers behind her eyes
And right now she is happy in this sad little disguise
Of a person with no real idea where she’s going
Her hair sticks every way and her face looks so tired
And god oh god she just wants to feel inspired
I need to feel inspired
I am ready to let go of you, my love
You bring nothing but an ache in this chest
And the flowers in my brain
They are keeping me as lovely as I need
And I want to skip around the world until the day is done
I glide along the sidewalk that I’ve crossed so many times
I don’t look up as the cars sail right by me
I got a tragedy set up in this head but I’m smiling anyway
I am ready to let go of you, my love
You bring nothing but an ache in this chest
And the flowers in my brain
They are keeping me as lovely as I need
I just want to be lovely, I want to be lovely, I want to be lovely
(I want to be lovely, I want to be lovely)
I don’t want to give away the faded flowers behind my eyes
And right now I am happy in this safe little disguise
And please stop calling me brilliant
I swear it isn’t so
And the more you say about me
The less I seem to know
The more you say about me
The less I seem to grow

She looks at herself, the girl with the lavender on her arm
with her withering words, that she’s trying to grow back,
the bright eyes,
the freckles turned stars.
The face she finally feels happy to look at, and decides
Today is the day to feel beautiful.
Today I am going to love this (x2)
She holds up her hands
and her face in poses,
relearns her passions
looks in the mirror and says
‘I adore you.’
She soars, she dances
as her life starts to change right in front of her.
Today I am going to love this (x2)
Today I am going to feel beautiful
Today I am going to love her

Your Light

I swear love,
With you the world slowed down
Maybe to give us some room
To know each other a bit longer
You give so much more than you think
Your words, your creations, your mind
I’ve become a bit of a wanderer
But my eyes, they don’t stray from your light
My eyes, they won’t stray from your light
And these eyes, they’ve felt a bit heavy recently
But yours, they calm me down
I still have lots more adventures to take you on
If that would make your life bright
Would that make your life bright
You give so much more than you think
Your words, your creations, your mind
I’ve become a bit of a wanderer
But my eyes, they don’t stray from your light
My eyes, they won’t stray from your light
My eyes won’t stray from your light
Your words, your creations, your mind
My dear, you’re one of a kind
And my eyes won’t stray from your light
Please understand your light

lost houses.

They live in separate houses
And her hair it is long
And he hopes for second chances
But he’s done everything wrong
Don’t you see? It’s all over
There isn’t any family left
The history is gone
And the drawers, they’re all empty
And they don’t even love me (x2)
They are living in a little house
And the room I used to sleep in
The room I used to sing in
The room I used to break in
Isn’t mine anymore
Will I ever know how to move on from the sorrow
Of being unimportant to the ones that I lived with
The ones who used to love me
Did you all ever love me
Do I even love
‘Cause the days they’re all empty
And you don’t even want me
I’m supposed to be okay but I just wish you fucking needed me
I want the past all back but you ruined it
And so I will leave this place behind
And one day will be the last you ever see me
But they’re won’t be any closure, I don’t get any closure
Because none of you ever needed me
