trouble sleeping

i’m having trouble sleeping
you’re jumping in my bed
twisting in my head
leave me

i’m having trouble breathing
you’re sitting on my chest
i sure could use the rest
leave me

it’s you
why’s it always you
and never me?
i’ve never dared to let
my feelings free
why’s it always you
and never me?
i’ve never cared
too much about honesty

i’m having trouble sleeping
i’m thinking of what you said
about the tears been shed
leave me

it’s you
now and always you
but never me
i’ve never dared to
let my feelings free
why’s it always you
and never me?
i’ve never cared
too much about honesty

what we once had

don't care about what i said
just care about what i've done
though lots of trust is gone
you're still the only one
don't dare to hope for much
i'm doing the best i can
i take it as it comes when it comes

it's like you and i don't even try to get along
like the two of us together are wrong
it's like you and i can't let the good make up for the bad
guess we can't go back to what we once had

don't care about what i said
just care about what i've done
though years have come and gone
you know you're still the one
i love what's left of you
and miss what now is gone
guess the only thing we've done is moved on

my heart

it’s my heart you’re stealing
it’s my heart you take
it’s my heart you’re dealing with
and it’s my heart you’ll break

it’s my heart you’re taking
it’s breaking bit by bit
it’s my heart you’re dealing with
but you don’t know about it

if you’d feel like i feel
and if you’d know what i know
i don’t think you’d ever play me
i know you’d never play me

sway

i talk to you as to a friend
i hope that’s what you’ve
come to be
it feels as though we’ve
made amends
like we found a way
eventually

it was you who picked
the pieces up
when i was a broken soul
and then glued me
back together
returned to me what
others stole

i don’t wanna hurt you
i don’t wanna make you sway
like i know i’ve done before
i will not do it anymore
i’ve always been a dreamer
i've had my head among
the clouds
now that i’m coming down
won’t you be my solid ground?

i look at you and see a friend
i hope that’s what you wanna be
are we back now where
it all began?
have you finally forgiven me?

you gathered my dreams in
when they all blew away
and then tricked them
back into me
you saved me i was
almost dead

pills

i hope my smile
can distract you
i hope my fists
can fight for two
so it never has to show
and you’ll never know

i hope my love
can blind you
i hope my arms
can bind you
so you’ll never have to see
what we’ve grown to be

one may think
we’re alright
but we need pills
to sleep at night
we need lies
to make it through the day
we’re not ok

one may think
we’re doing fine
but if i had to lay it on the line
we’re losing ground
with every passing day
we’re not ok

but that’s one thing
i would never
one thing i would never
that’s one thing
i would never say to you
