I need a little self esteem To bring me back into the dream That I created to protect Me from the things that may affect The way I feel about the way You build me up and make me pay It's hard to listen to my heart When our minds are so far apart Just save my mind (Chorus) But when I see you I'll forget about the thoughts I had last night But when I see you it'll be like nothing happened and I'm alright Then when I leave you and I cannot see coz you're out of my sight I'll forget everything about you It's never about what I think It's only about what you need Then when it's the end of the day You tell me what I had to say To keep you from making me do The things I never wanted to But I could never wrap my head Around the things that you have said Just save my mind (Chorus) I can't resist When you're with me Then I get home I can't break free (Chorus)

It was just four hours ago You, me and him were all alone We had settled in after some fun A time that was second to none That's when we heard a knock at the door You got up to see who it was And I haven't seen you since Won't you tell me who it was? (Chorus) It was probably him and he was probably begging you to come outside And once his speech was over and his fake tears had dried You ran into his arms and said, "Baby! I love you!" And he thought, "She fell for it again." But he said, "I love you too!" I can't believe you fell for it again It was just a month ago You and me were spending time alone We had planned on turning a show on And watching episodes 'til dawn You head your cell phone ring You said, "Hold on." And picked it up Suddenly, you ran outside Won't you tell me who it was? (Chorus) You never say who it is After you run out of the room And we have no way of knowing So we just have to assume But I think I have a hunch On who's been taking you from me So when I heard that knock at the door I knew exactly who it'd be (Chorus)

I know that you are on the couch On the verge of passing out But you care way too much to do that So you just lie where you once sat Your fingers are as strong as your arms If they weren't then you would lose your charm Your legs are as strong as your charge Which I can tell isn't very large (Chorus) Considering the fact that I'm still blind You gotta let me do the talking sometimes I never really know what to say to you Unless I have a minute or two To consider the words you're about to see A regular gift to you from me The taste of your lips really brightens my day Especially when you are far away Your beautiful smile makes me less mean Especially when I see it through a screen (Chorus) You only pay your bills so you can talk to me and all of your friends Is this a new kind of communication, or is it just the end? I guess I'll just accept your brand new love For the satellites flying up above I'll never know when they fall out of the sky Coz along with them, our connection will die I've never been a fan of being close But when our love burns, we'll have to make the most Of spending hours sitting alone In a little house of our own (Chorus) x3

This is my only available paper So I gotta make this one count I have fought many men With a warrior sound I built a million castles That were all torn down at once I met a crazy man Who made me a dunce (Chorus) Today I flew an airplane And crashed it into the ground I punched all of the monsters under my bed Until they came crashing down I traveled a thousand miles While I was sitting Maybe I am awesome Or maybe I'm just kidding The demons ran away Coz I can see in the dark Fire doesn't burn me Coz I learned how to make a spark I can never fall Coz I learned how to fly I can never live Coz I learned I will die (Chorus) I have never stopped Since I was pushed to start Maybe it is what I was built to do Now with the right tools You can tear me apart Why did I have to learn that it was you? (Chorus) Dadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadada

As I sat there next to you I couldn't help but think about Just letting all of my feelings out And though it was the last time That I'd ever see you again Coz after you'd be leaving then You'd be gone forever And I would probably miss you lots Or have all of these crazy thoughts Instead I sat there next to you And didn't say a single fucking word As I sat there next to you I wanted to say something But instead I just said nothing And I regret it quite a bit I wish that I had spoken Or just kissed you, now I'm broken I should've just stopped caring about you Now I care way too much So I love you way too much And now it's time to say goodbye I wish that I had never said hello And as I watched you walk away I said, "Well fuck you too!" Though I knew it was me not you And now instead of throwing rocks To wake you up, I throw them At your window 'til it's broken And then I run away and hope That you'll be running close behind I look back, but I just can't find you I'll guess I'll go home and hope That later, you'll be throwing rocks at me

Untitled 03:48
The moon is lighting up your night But she's ruining your life I'm too far from where you cry And we have never said goodbye You say change is blocked by fear But see how much you've grown this year Though you still are the same size You have grown so much inside Sometimes you have to let go of friends Coz people change and friendships end It is okay to be scared It only means you cared Your past has kept you still Let go or it always will It is not fun to be stuck In fact it kinda sucks I've gotta talk to her so she understands That right now, there are tears that are covering your hands You are small and I am smaller But I'll still get up the courage to call her It's the least that I can do But the most anyone will do

Your Brain 02:39
If I became less interested in you I don't know what I would do How in the hell do you go about Kicking someone who's in love with you out? Your mind and body are more appealing I never steal but my eyes have been stealing Glances at your gorgeous face I wish I could see your brain (Chorus) I can't possibly say that I don't love you I can't possibly make myself above you I can't possibly say that I don't love you Maybe I'm just too nice for that If I had no more love to give I don't know how I would live And you're asking through my door, "Where's the love we had before?" My head felt like it had been abused After months of being so confused I just couldn't hold it back I'm sorry about the day I cracked (Chorus)
