Another Missed Memory

Tears well up like you just might lose your cool,

Your way of suppressing it, gave no exception to the rule,

Shake your head; tell me it’s all alright,

But I can tell by the look in your eyes you’ve already lost the fight,

Visions of missed memories dance throughout your dreams,

Even you didn’t think things would turn out to be what they seem,

Fight back those tears, prove my point one more time,

The more I reach for you, the further you climb,

Run away from the truth I’m so quick to discover,

You don’t have to say a word; I know that you still love her,

Even as I’m in your arms, I know she has your heart,

I had figured this would happen, I should have known from the start,

You promise you’re happy with me, that I’m the on you want,

But honey, we both know we can be all non-chalet,

I can’t keep pretending to overlook your tears,

I can’t replace the memory you’ve been missing all these years,

Sitting there I crumble as I watch your heart break,

Question my standing here and how much more of this I can take,

Even when she no longer has him, he’s still caught up in her,

Instead of thinking of our future he only dreams of what they were,

I hear you draw in a breath for you know that I know,

You don’t want to lose me but you just can’t let her go,

Knowing what I have to do, I slowly turn away,

There’s nothing you need to explain, there’s nothing you can say,

I see you break down as you whisper, ‘you mean too much to me’,

But I refuse to replace such a missed memory.

Here With Me

I watch the sun come up in the blue of your eyes,

And I feel your heart beat as here with me, you lie,

And I feel your warmth as it showers over me,

Then I wonder how a blind man could have never wanted to see,

I can see your smile held back on your lips,

Admiring me from head to toe, from my eyes down past my hips,

I can hear your thoughts as you think ‘how beautiful can she get’,

And I’m watching from a distance as your desire stand, lit,

I can feel your eagerness as its sent straight to my heart,

And I send up a prayer asking God that we’ll never grow apart,

I watch the sun go down in the blue of your eyes,

I feel your heart beat as here with me, you lie.

Over Rated

Never felt a feeling like this, never was it this strong,

But tangled in its emotions, something’s terribly wrong,

We were built like a fire, to withstand all the heat,

But there’s something darker waiting there, plotting its deceit,

My hearts lie in shambles, my mind torn in two,

I either endure this pain, or I live without you,

I can’t see myself loving any other man; no one appeals the same,

I place this on your shoulders; on you I place the blame,

I had no idea falling in love would be this complicated,

If I had only known, I would have figured this love was overrated.

If I Were to Die Today

If I were to die today, would you shed your tears?

Would you look back on your time spent with me and cherish all those years?

Would you glance at my picture as tears streamed down your face?

Or would you bring your heart to remember that I’m in a better place?

If I were to fade away, become a phantom from your past,

Would you acknowledge me or hide from the shadows that I cast?

Would you cherish and celebrate the time I spent here?

Or would you throw me away as if I was an unwanted fear?

If I told you after today, you’d never see me again,

Would you lie in your warm bed at night and dream of the places we’ve been?

Would you crave to rewind time just to feel my presence like so many times before?

Or would you let your restless mind wonder just so you won’t hurt anymore?

If I were to die today, would you regret all the times you hurt me?

Would you feel remorse for all the times you weren’t the man you were supposed to be?

Would you wish you had told me what had always been on your mind?

Or would you see it fit to just leave that all behind?

If I told you, you would lose a friend today, would you ask me why?

Would you care enough to get an explanation, or would you simply wave goodbye?

Would I have mattered enough to you to make you appreciate what you once had?

Or would you ignore my memory, the good and the bad?

If I were to die today,

Would you simply smile and trust that I’m okay?

Would you finally grow up and be the man you never told anyone you wanted to be?

Or would I have to die, before you’d admit that you had ever loved me?

On Top of the World - Boys Like Girls

Like the Fools We're Not

I’m done, I’m sick and tired of this mess,

Tired of playing hide and seek, tired of always having to second guess,

I’m done with your drama, too much lost at your hand,

There’s only so much I can take and this is too much to stand,

Why is it you play me for the fool, after all, I am not,

Maybe you over looked that tiny detail, maybe you simply forgot,

I knew these feelings should have been kept inside,

I may still be breathing but under the cover of my chest, a part of me just died,

I never wanted to be the one used in your search for the truth,

Your methods are unforgiving and certainly uncouth,

I’ve been there for you every step of the way,

How could you turn around and turn me away?

How could you manage to help my friends unknowingly hurt me?

You’re a liar, a snake, and a manipulator and I know you see,

You use us all, all of the people you care about the most,

Play it like a game, but too embarrassed to boast,

Afraid they’ll look back at you with a curious look in their eye,

Too afraid they’ll catch on and question you with why,

It’s different for you, for you have no ties,

We all had deep emotions and no knowledge of your lies,

Never question your methods, for you’re never wrong,

Tell me that next time you stuff weed into that bong,

Don’t turn everything around and point the blame at me,

For you are wrong and you better begin to see,

Appreciate what you’ve got before it’s all taken away from you,

I sure as hell won’t stick around if this is all you do,

You’ve fooled us all with your serenading words,

You knew it, and that’s the way you preferred,

Never thinking we’d mind because you knew how deeply our feelings ran,

Guess you can be wrong, I can’t even look at you, none of us can,

So now I pray the questions fall hard and the lessons well taught,

Played us all for the fools you forgot, we are not.
