Letters To Me

This is the first draft of my heart,

I thought it would probably be a good place to start,

Cause you left me with my jaw on the floor,

And now it seems you back and you’re wanting more

I only set out to be, what is impossible,

What could never be, is so much more likeable,

And if you disagree, I guess you’re entitled,

But in your letters to me, could you keep it all quiet

Oh, please. You could never keep quiet.

 

This is first step towards the door,

I thought I’d sing a song make it count a little more,

Cause you left with me with a smile so broken,

And now it’s like you’re angry that I still keep hoping.

I only set out to be, what is impossible,

What could never be, is so much likeable,

And if you disagree, I guess you’re entitled,

But in your letters to me, would you keep it all quiet,

Oh, please. You could never be quiet.

 

You never had a problem with leaving me lonely,

And now that I’m not it’s like you want to re-own me,

The asking price is so much more, it’s amazing how cool it is to sometimes be adored,

And love is priceless, so undecided,

I love with my mind made up,

So shut up.

 

I only set out to be, what is impossible,

What could never be, is so much likeable,

And if you disagree, I guess you’re entitled,

Don’t write your letters to me, would you keep it all tied up,

Oh, please. You could never be quiet.

Just shut up.

The World Started Burning

Do I look tired?

Do I look sad?

I’ve been sleeping with fire,

Taking over my bed.

 

Do I look pissed off?

Do I look bored?

I’ve been playing with matches,

Now I’m looking for more.

 

Do I look like, I need another waste of my time?

Do I look like, I need somebody else to melt away my heart

And not lick up the wax from the floor, from the floor.

 

So, how could you walk away?

Right when the heated started coming,

The world started burning.

So, how could you walk away?

Right when the heat started coming,

The world started burning down.

 

Do I look nervous?

Do I look like I’m scared?

Of your dance with the flame,

Of your phoenix tears.

 

Do I look skeptical?

Do I look disturbed?

I’ve been leaving my ashtrays

Where you fucked other girls.

 

Do I look like, I need another waste of my time?

Do I look like, I need somebody else to melt away my heart

And not lick up the wax from the floor, from the floor.

 

So, how could you walk away?

Right when the heated started coming,

The world started burning.

So, how could you walk away?

Right when the heat started coming,

The world started burning down.

The world started burning down.

Did she burn your world, burn your world right up?

Light the whole thing up,

Right, and then the heat started coming,

The world started burning.

Gravity (incomplete)

I left, but I’m back,

A weightless chain around my neck,

But I stay for the pleasure,

If it’s only in my head.

I can prove that

 

I feel your gravity,

(Stop pulling, stop pulling)

Your warm hands on me,

(Stop pulling, stop pulling)

In your weight I’m buried deep

(Stop pulling, stop pulling)

I feel your gravity

Winter Need (This is what it sounds like!)

Winter Need

Dont, leave me here, in my special brand of winter,

I can’t fight the cold all on my own.

Dont, leave me here in my special brand of winter,

You know sometimes you feel like home.

 

Sometimes it gets cold in my head,

My fingertips go numb.

I need you then, the most, I confess,

Save the parts of me, almost gone.

 

Looks like you left me here, in my special brand of torture.

Loneliness has caught it’s prey.

Looks like you left me here, in my special brand of torture.

Everything has faded grey.

 

Sometimes it gets cold in my head,

My fingertips go numb.

I need you then, the most, I confess,

Save the parts of me, almost gone.

 

You kissed my fingertips,

You kissed my fingertips,

Came back for me when I was almost gone.

You’ve come to cure this winter need.

Echo

Please, don’t, let, me, fall away

Please, don’t , let, me, run away

Cause I’ll be gone,

Wishing I was here.

You won’t miss me but,

Pretend my dear.

 

Your voice, get’s stuck in my head,

It echos, every word you said.

 

Please, don’t, let, me, fall away

Please, don’t , let, me, run away

Cause I’ll be gone,

Wishing I was here.

You won’t miss me but,

Pretend my dear.

Crumble, Fall, Choke

They say this could kill you,

Whether it’s wrong or it’s right,

I know they’re right you know,

But something in my head tells me stop listening.

All of the lovers that I’ve ever loved before,

They crumble, they crumble, they crumble, they fall.

 

I keep your hands close to my heart,

I never wanna choke up these stupid words.

I keep your hands close to my heart,

They warm me, they warm me, save me from hurt.

 

I say you could save me,

Whether it’s wrong or it’s right,

I know, still not tonight,

But something in my head tells me to stop listening.

All of the lovers that I’ve ever loved before,

They crumble, they crumble, they crumble, they fall.

 

Ashes, ashes,

They all fall down.

Ashes, ashes,

They all fall down.

They crumble, they crumble, they crumble, they fall.

 

I keep your hands close to my heart,

I never wanna choke up these stupid words.

I keep your hands close to my heart,

They warm me, they warm me, save me from hurt.

Oh, you save me from hurt.

Please save me from hurt.

Beside You

If you’re wondering,

Why I say I can’t,

Tell you how I feel.

It’s because those words,

Have been rarely heard,

My heart is hard to hear.

 

These melodies,

Fly to you on broken wings,

But they’d take you anywhere.

Your promises,

Sound so sincere,

I’m getting cavities just sitting here.

 

This first kiss could be the last first kiss,

Right beside you, I could die like this,

It’s so dramatic, and so in your face,

Right beside you, I’m all over the place.

Oh…

Beside you.

I’m alive, in your arms,

Wherever you go,

Wherever you are.

I’m alive, in your heart,

Wherever you go,

Wherever you are,

I’m beside you.

 

If you’re wondering,

Why I let you pull away,

It’s cause in case you ever wanna go, I’ll know how to let you go,

But please don’t go,

No please don’t go.

You’re hands in my hands,

I’ll never go hungry,

Cause only on you, I survive,

 

This first kiss, could be the last first kiss,

Right beside you, I could die like this,

It’s so dramatic, and so in your face,

Right beside you, I’m all over the place.

Oh…

Beside you.

I’m alive, in your arms,

Wherever you go,

Wherever you are.

I’m alive, in your heart,

Wherever you go,

Wherever you are,

I’m beside you.

Those Who Have None Need

Count the ways into your heart,

But it’s not quite worth the journey.

Dawn is breaking, now I see,

That you were only out to hurt me.

And all your sinful steps have finally lead you to my door

I’m not home, I’m not home and don’t come back here anymore.

All your sinful steps have somehow lead you to my door,

I’m not home, I’m not home, don’t make me say it anymore.

 

Say a prayer for the sick of heart, and those who have none

You know which of the two you are.

Is it hard to tell in your faded light, which man you are tonight,

I hope he prays, cause boy you need a prayer.

 

The sun sets now and it’s almost night,

The perfect time for staying,

My sharp tongue could never match,

The blade by which you slay me.

And all your sinful steps have finally lead you to my door

I’m not home, I’m not home and don’t come back here anymore.

All your sinful steps have somehow lead you to my door,

I’m not home, I’m not home, don’t make me say it anymore.

 

Say a prayer for the sick of heart, and those who have none

You know which of the two you are.

Is it hard to tell in your faded light, which man you are tonight,

I hope he prays, cause boy you need a prayer.

 

And all your sinful steps have finally lead you to my door

I’m not home, I’m not home and don’t come back here anymore.

All your sinful steps have somehow lead you to my door,

I’m not home, I’m not home, don’t make me say it anymore.

 

Say a prayer for the sick of heart, and those who have none

You know which of the two you are.

Is it hard to tell in your faded light, which man you are tonight,

I hope he prays, cause boy you need a prayer.

Count the ways into your heart,

But it’s not quite worth the journey.

Legend

From the first hello, it was hell.

From the first misstep, it was bound to be misery.

This timing’s got to be the death of me,

Step over my body, just leave my coffin open,

To maybe see light other than your halo one day.

 

You’re a legend in your chocolate box, of sympathetic eyes.

But the only thing of worth you taught them was how to say goodbye.

 

They’ll tell your stories,

Hang your name in lights,

You’ll be up there in the cradle,

A legend of your time.

They’ll tell your stories,

Long after you’ve gone away,

Let them believe that you were something,

We’ve all got to believe in something.

 

From the first goodbye, it was never good.

From the first kiss, it was a kiss goodbye.

Your timing’s got to be the death of me.

Step over my body, just leave my wounds open.

I want to feel hands more healing than yours, one day.

 

You’re a legend in your chocolate box, of sympathetic eyes.

But the only thing of worth you taught them was how to say goodbye.

 

They’ll tell your stories,

Hang your name in lights,

You’ll be up there in the cradle,

A legend of your time.

They’ll tell your stories,

Long after you’ve gone away,

Let them believe that you were something,

We’ve all got to believe in something.

 

I don’t wanna ruin your nice reputation.

I wouldn’t wanna ruin your nice reputation.

I don’t have to believe in you.

 

You’re a legend in your chocolate box, of sympathetic eyes.

But the only thing of worth you taught them was how to say goodbye.

 

They’ll tell your stories,

Hang your name in lights,

You’ll be up there in the cradle,

A legend of your time.

They’ll tell your stories,

Long after you’ve gone away,

Let them believe that you were something,

We’ve all got to believe in something.

Helpless Little Love

I leave the back door open, in case you come on in

It’s cold out there, just the touch of lips,

Used to warm you up,

But now it’s something strange,

Cause I’m, just not enough.

Nuh uh, I’m just not enough.

 

I keep, my hands open,

You make, the tightest fists I’ve ever seen.

I’ve never seen…

 

Eyes like, melting crystals,

I slide, over and over,

The chills you whisper towards me I can’t fight,

But I can’t keep you here, with my helpless little fears,

Every night.

 

I keep my eyes wide open, in case you walk on by,

With your eyes down but your head up high,

Used to know my face,

But now it’s something strange,

Cause I’m not just not enough.

Nuh uh, I’m not just not enough.

 

I keep, my hands open,

You make, the tightest fists I’ve ever seen.

I’ve never seen…

 

Eyes like, melting crystals,

I slide, over and over,

The chills you whisper towards me I can’t fight,

But I can’t keep you here, with my helpless little fears,

Every night.

 

Put your head, in my lap,

Let me do, what I can.

I’d die to let you live,

Even without me.

Put your head, in my lap,

Let me do, what I can.

Cause I would die to let you live,

Again.

 

I keep, my hands open,

You make, the tightest fists I’ve ever seen.

I’ve never seen…

 

Eyes like, melting crystals,

I slide, over and over,

The chills you whisper towards me I can’t fight,

But I can’t keep you here, with my helpless little fears,

Every night.
