Her

I remember the day I met you
And how it felt when you held me in your arms
I remember when you said, "I love you
And I just want you to be mine"
Now it's been a little while,
And I'm starting to see how this plays out
It'll start out all nice and slow
Because that's the way this kind of stuff goes
All loving words and cuddled firsts,
Enveloped inside the lies
She creates a world unspoken
Unleashing anger never known before
She hides the truth under desperate pleading
Always pleasing others with her legs spread wide
And when she knows we're staying
That's when she starts saying you're not mine
You're hers, you're cheating, I wasted my time
She says I sleep around, she'll kill me
But she has yet to act on it, she doesn't know me well
Now our love grows quicker, more permanent
And as it solidifies, she grows desperate
Her world is shaking, we're making it quake
With our determination to stay
Now we're still together, still say forever
As we wait for the white lace to follow

Every Day

Uhm, just to clarify, I really don't miss anyone. I was thinking about tattoos in gym today and then the lyrics started out about Hayden, but since I need to get over that, I turned it into a breakup song.

I got a new tattoo last Saturday
Before you left, it says your name
I loved it, now I want it to fade
Like my spirit when you walked away from me
You could have looked behind you
And seen my eyes see through you
I know you never thought you'd have to
Be the one to leave me without you

I look at the rain pouring down my face
Staring into the mirror of the lake
Water rippling as the tears fall mixed with the hate
But I miss you every day

Sometimes I look through old photos of
Us and what we considered love
But now I can see we're wearing thin
Strings holding together like it's a sin
And whenever I smoke a cigarette
I see your face and want to forget
In the dark I see your silhouette
So as I lay here on the bed where we slept


I look at the rain pouring down my face
Staring into the mirror of the lake
Water rippling as the tears fall mixed with the hate
But I miss you every day

I'm staring at the water, watching it turn black
Wondering how much it costs to turn time back
How much must I sacrifice to take the hands
And move them counter just to have another chance?
