All the ugly and wonderful things
Living with you brings
Into my life
It’s life on a tightrope
Like the time you slit my throat
And you say i don't believe you
And I tell you that I’ve got the scars to prove
It to you
We begin at the end
There’s no use trying to pretend
I know you don’t care
I think about it all the time

You say we’re through
i guess that will have to do
I hope you knew
Everything i did
I did for you
You cant take away
All those words i heard you say
You can’t replace
The beat my heart skipped while yous away
I tried to be
The best man I knew how to be
But you wanted less
Or at least something else

Sound and No fury

You’re all sound and no fury
Exhale another wasted sigh
Roll your eyes all you want too
You can’t be right all the time
It’s a sad song to sing
Alone
You’re all thunder and no lightning
A story with no reason or rhyme
Roll your eyes all you want too
i can’t be be wrong all the time
It’s a sad song to sing
Alone
And there’s a rainbow in the sky
Trying hard to shine bright
And as the sun peeks thru the clouds
I question why their is doubt
I hope you live a long, long time
I just hope I’m not part of your life
I hope you live a long, long time
Alone
You’re all sound and no fury
All thunder and no lightning
Roll your eyes all you want too
You still sing with no timing

I had a dream
Of you, I know it's not coming true
But there was you
and me
Shopping for groceries
Happily we're
Attuned
But what else could I do
To prove
That I'm the one for you
Sitting alone
Waiting on my friend to come back
and you're
with your friends
Where I don't belong
I know I'm not that Cool

I’s and Me’s and My’s

It’s sad to forget
Things we swore we never would forget
And still yet
There’s things I can’t recall at all
Like this picture of us
Somewhere, someone took
Capture one moment
Of our lives
We were so happy to be alive
So many posts
Yet some how you don’t
get to choose
your last words
Self consumed
Always changing our own rules
Nothing matters in our minds
I’s, me’s and my’s
Possessive words for possessive lives

She said don’t let me down
Cause I’ve been hurt before
And I’m not looking for
Thats this time around
I don’t need someone
That will come and go
Like a circus out of town
I just want someone that wants to be around
I just want a love that don’t make me want to drown
Don’t touch the stereo
Cause there’s finally something on
Worth singing along
Don’t touch the stereo
I just put my GRAND PRIX on
And I’m trying to sing along
She said you’re not the first
And you probably, most likely, sincerely wont be the last
If i told you any different
I would be lying to myself
I just want someone that wants to be around
I just want a love that don’t make me want to drown
Don’t touch the stereo
Cause there’s finally something on
Worth singing along
Don’t touch the stereo
I just put my Grand Prix on
And I’m trying to sing along

His and hers
A plague of lovers
Sometimes she lies
And says everything’s alright
Sometimes she cries
Says nothings wrong
When there’s nothing right
I hope you find
what you’re looking for
Whether its far or near
I hope you admit to yourself
The same sun sets here
