HurricaneI don't really know
How all of this came to be
When I already know
She can do better than me

I feel like she's the desert
And whenever I hold her hand
I realize that makes me
Nothing more than a grain of sand

I can't help but ask myself
How is it that she's with me?
I'm just a mess when I'm alone
And I'm fucking up constantly

She's amazing...
In every way, shape, and form
Like the calm of the night
Or like the eye of a storm

(And if that storm were to break...)

I always have the thought
That if people were rain
l would be just a drop
And she'd be the hurricane...

Hurts Like HeavenOh. My.
God, it hurts like heaven;
Longing for all your affection,
Every bit of your attention,
You're a divine intervention.
In this life that's turned to hell.

I can't help it when I reminisce,
In moments that are just like this,
I remember when we had our kiss,
And now how much I really miss,
You...

The times when we weren't separated,
Were the best memories that I've created,
To reunite is long awaited,
I feel like I'm incarcerated,
In my own personal hell.

I can't help it when I think of you...
I hope one day we'll say "I do."
But for now I have to struggle through,
Until the day I get to you...

It won't be long, lov

Since You've Been GoneYou take my hand and you whisper to me,
"Darling, I love you and I promise I'll never leave..."
I look to you and without missing a single beat,
I say, "You were my missing piece, now I'm finally complete."

An involuntary smile spreads out across your lips,
And I can't help but smile as I lean in to taste your kiss...
Then the frame stops and it's stuck on this same scene;
My nights have been so haunted with the recurrence of this dream.

I always hope that I'll wake up and this dream will become true,
But I'm so tired of only dreaming...
Darling, I miss you...

[Chorus]
And since you've been gone I've been wasting away,
Just tryin

Cowards Way OutDid you really think,
That taking the cowards way out,
Would prove anything,
Except all of our worst fears?

Did you even think,
About the ones that you have now?
And the pain that you'd bring,
If you were to leave them all here...?

Do you really think,
You're life is just so horribly unbearable,
That you need to take this knife,
And do something you know is terrible?!

How many times,
Have I told you it isn't worth it?
How selfish of you,
To expect your life to be picture perfect.

Painful MemoryWhy are you scared?
It's like you don't know where you are.
You take it step by step but never get very far.
Look at these scars!
How dare you say that they're worthless?!
Keep your opinions to yourself...
And stop pretending you're fucking perfect!

Oh!

Like the words I never spoke;
Like this dying flame of hope;
Like this web of lies we weaved;
That we both thought we believed...

You're nothing more to me,
Than a painful memory...

It must be hard!
Keeping up with all of your lies,
That you hide the truth behind as you're waiting for it to die!
Look in my eyes!
How dare you say I'm without a purpose?!
Just look at all thes

Nicht Ohne Sie....I don't know how to start this...

Just knowing that you're leaving casts my heart into darker shadows
Love has always been, for me, an uphill struggle and losing battles
It's like a book without an ending, you took my heart out of it's cage
And I don't want to put it back cause I don't want to turn this page...

If I could find me a miracle that could write us another chapter
I wouldn't hesitate a second cause I want this forever after
But life isn't a happy ending, there's not always light after dark
The only thing that breaks the silence is the sound of my breaking heart

This life will never be the same, without you here beside m

The Secrets These Walls Hold - DarkShutter the light and let the darkness prevail.
If no one can see then who will know that I failed?
I swear I really tried and that I gave it my all;
I'm painfully aware of every one of my flaws...

I simply lay awake unsure if it's night or day,
Covered and consumed by the weight of this crushing darkness.
I hide from my mistakes and I hope that they'll go away,
Believing myself when I say that I'm really heartless...

Now more than ever I need to feel like I did before;
Like a million white roses missing none of their thorns.
You were the only reason I had left to be saved,
To fill the hole in my heart that was becoming my grave...

Optimistically PessimisticThere's broken
Then there's shattered to the core
There's saying I don't care
Or I don't love you anymore

There's hopeless
And theres frustratingly out of reach
There are lessons left to learn
But those lessons they'll never teach

There are promises
Then there are hollow and empty lies
There are moments that you treasure
And moments you want to die

There's lonliness
And there's tired of going on
There is waiting for forever
But forever will never come...

Part Mirage, Part NightmareI try to fight, the feelings I, hide inside
And the piosonus thoughts they bring
But darling, they're all that's left
They're all of you, that I've kept
You're still all I want, you're all I need
You're everything, that I believe

But when you're gone
My heart threatens to collapse
Because it's broken in two
And it's missing its other half

Please don't leave, please stay with me...
I can't breathe...
I'm on the edge of insanity...

Part mirage, part nightmare...
Please come back!
I just need to know you're there...

For me...

I know that I've, said I'm fine
That everything, is alright
But darling, I miss the feeling
Of your

One More Mistake.With every word that I say
With every smile I fake
Every moment I live
I'm making one more mistake...

All the tears that I've cried
Have fallen unnoticed
No matter how hard I try
Nobody will know this...

Every friend that I've made
Everything I create
With every door that I open
I'm making one more mistake...

I hate what I've done
And this person that I've become
I hate these scars on my wrist
Is there no ending to this...?

With every beat of my heart
With every breath that I take
Every day I wake up
Is just another mistake...

Deafening Voices...Why does every single day
Seem to stay the same
Shade of lifeless grey
Can nothing ease the pain?

When I see your face
My heart begins to race
I long for your embrace
I'd kill for just a taste
(Of your sweet kiss)

But when I look around
You're nowhere to be found
I hear the maddening thoughts
As they begin to sound
Off as

[Chorus]
Deafening voices
Inside of my head
Whispering words
That are best left unsaid

Destructive emotions
Locked inside my mind
They chip me away
Just a little at a time
[End Chorus]

There have always been
Things I've held inside
That I wish I could confess
Or just get off of my mind

When I he

On LoveLove not forever
Love for an eternity
Because it's longer

Something More...You stole every one of my dreams and left me all on my own!
But you can't take all this pain 'cause it's all that I've ever known!
If only I could've noticed that you were changing long before!
Maybe it's just me but I thought we were something more!

I thought you'd be the one that would actually fucking care!
And even though you said you'd be, you're still not even there!
I've always felt like I was living without a purpose!
Thanks for being the one to help confirm that I'm worthless!

Losing you is the worst pain that I could endure!
Please show some kind of mercy 'cause I can't take it anymore!
How many more times can you pick me

Waking UpI wake up again in the middle of the night
Cold sweat dripping I don't know if I'm alright
Cause it's the millionth time
That I've dreamt you were mine

But now I see
It's only me
With no one else
I'm by myself...

I can hear my heartbeat echo off these walls
As I wander aimlessly through these desolate halls
I keep thinking that I'm hearing your desperate call
But that's just me pretending trying so hard not to fall

I listen to the wind as it whispers by me
But the words that it speaks aren't registering
I listen to the rain as it pours to the ground
I'm looking for you but you're nowhere around

I really fucking hate being alon

Soon EnoughI know things have been kind of rough
Though I've put forth my best
It's just never enough
And I'm sorry...

To me, things have felt so unreal
I can't believe you've stolen my heart
But I love the way that you make me feel
And it kills me that we're so far apart

I wish more than anything that you could be here
To kiss all my scars and wipe all of these tears
And I'm sorry I can't be much more
You know I'm a mess, and I've told you before
That still I promise I'll forever be yours...

I'll be there with you soon enough
You're all that I've needed
And you're all I think of
So don't worry...

To me, this all happened so fast
It's

Sharpen The KnifeI remember her eyes
They were so very bright
But they could never disguise
All the pain kept inside

In this world that's so grey
All washed up in our pain
The pain of the heartbreak
And cuts on my wrist
Just one more mistake
I thought that you loved me
But just look at all this

It's fallen apart
The words never spoken
And just like my heart
This silence is broken

The dark crimson sky
Blocks out the sun
As everything good
It all comes undone

So all that's left
Is the thought of you
But that leaves me
With nothing to do

The love that I gave you
Was never enough
When the world is what I gave you
You simply just shrugged

In A HeartbeatBelieve...

In a heart beat
I'd get her back on her feet
I'd tell her she's not dreaming
That she's got to keep believing

In a heart beat
I'd say I'm yours to hold
And that I'm never letting go
That you will never be alone
You can come with me back home
I won't leave you on your own

In a heart beat
I'd give up everything
My whole world and all my dreams
Just to have her here with me
And to see her smiling

In a heart beat
I would change the past
So this love we had would last
Cause it slipped away so fast
Like it was sand in an hourglass

In a heart beat
I'd steal away her defeat
Tell her she's not leaving
She's got to ke

Hear Me NowI'm still, here
Begging, for relief from misery
I'm still, here
Crying, cause it took what's left of me

And I lock myself inside my heart
Hide away inside the dark
That's taken over

I look in your eyes
But there's nothing to see
Nothing except pain
Staring back at me

(I'm begging, I'm crying)

I'm still, here
Burning, from all the mistakes I ever made
I'm still, here
Trying, to make all those mistakes just go away

And I lock you outside of my heart
So you can't see me fall apart
I'm getting colder

I fall to my knees
And scream so loud
But nothing seems
To make a sound

(I'm burning, I'm trying)

I'm left alone again some

Be StrongWhy can't I make you believe
That they're wrong
You shouldn't do this

Don't let them get to you like that
The words they say aren't a proven fact
Don't let them put that wall to your back
To make you feel like you're trapped

Put that razorblade down
We'll push through to the end
You've got to learn to stand your own ground
So your heart can finally mend
It's not only you now

There are others just like you
So lost and so confused
They don't know what they should do
So lead by example, help them pull through

Life isn't for the weak
Be strong
We'll make it through this...

The Best For LastYou broke all of my dreams
All of my hope
All of the things
I held so close
Like memories

And no one ever sees
How much I'm hurting inside
I scream so silently
A single tear falls from my eye

You broke all of me that's sacred
And I thought those days had passed
Just let me ask one question...

Why did you save my heart for last?

ConflictionWas it your intention
To never mention
Any of these confessions
The tension
So easily torn
With another wave
Of broken redemption

Confliction
A matter of contradiction
And worse, inhibitions

Of the heart
Tell you the truth
And watch you fall apart
Or keep the lie a secret
Hidden in the dark

Complete and utter destruction
Of something that was still
Under construction
It's somethin

When you can wake up
To the sensation
Of incarceration
In a self created isolation

I have this darkness deep inside me,
It's what influenced this writing.
I can't control it, I can't fight it,
Barely know it, and can't hide it.

I'm just a mess with no ambition;
So much less than I envisioned.
How much more can I endure?
I don't know, I'm not too sure...

I'm not myself when I'm alone,
And yet I find I'm on my own.
I'm like a lock without a key,
There is no perfect fit for me!...

_{You're not} alone.
Don't _{think like that.}
_{Pick your head} up.
_I believe _{in you.}
_You can _{do it.}
_I love _you...

Are you here to prove me wrong?
To make me see the brighter dawn?
With this darker side, this part of me,
How can you love someone like me?

I don't care, I'm glad you do...
Where would I be if it weren't for you?
You pulled me through the worst of times,
I never thought I'd call you mine...

Yes, I'm a mess, but this mess is forever yours.
Together we can unlock and open up these remaining doors.
And I'm not backing down as long as you're by my side...
Hold on to my hand and we'll take every step with an eager stride...
