I was wrong about your eyes,
they'll always wear a cruel disguise
didn't think we'd come to this,
it would be you I'd have to miss.
I was wrong to be your clown,
when all you did was let me down
you were the space between morning time and sleep,
now I don't lay my head in peace.
You drank five coffees a day,
then filled me up, to make me okay.
Now a bitter taste left on my tongue,
this love was over long before it begun.
And don't you get lost in my words, they'll always fall out unrehearsed
And don't you sing those songs to me, if it's not really what you mean
And don't you come and stay the night, if you're not there to make it right.
You drank five coffees a day,
then filled me up, to make me okay.
Now a bitter taste left on my tongue,
this love was over long before it begun.

Every Shade Of White

It's been a while since I saw your face,
will you look at me the same?
Will your voice still ring through my ears,
when you say my name?
I didn't wan't to bother you tonight,
so I sat alone listening to the songs you like,
just to feel like something that you love well
I'm afraid I'll never be enough.
When I'm with you, I am every shade of white
a spectrum of delight my dear
and I know, that the timing isn't right
but you're just so far when I need you near,
It's been a while since we last touched skin,
why did I let you in?
And every time you'll ask me how I've been,
my words just feel so thin.
Because I know that I'll tell a lie,
when I can't tell you why you are
the creator of my genuine smile
yet you are the reason I'm not fine.
When I'm with you, I am every shade of white
a spectrum of delight my dear
and we could fall from the greatest heights
if you stay with me tonight,
When I'm with you I am every shade of white
a spectrum of delight my dear
and I know, that the timing isn't right
but you're just so far when I need you near.

You are an athlete
run my mind all day
sometimes the loser
mostly in first place.
I am the racetrack
hopeless as can be
I swear that one day
You'll run right over me.
I'm just a statue
you're passing by
I want to be small
but from you I can't hide
waited for you love
for it came once to me
held it with strong hands
and now I'm lonely.
And I wanted something more but you never even wanted me (x2)
I'm not an athlete
I feel so weak
you're jumping though lovers minds
I'm shackled at the feet.
I am the race track
hopeless as can be
I swear that one day
You'll run right over me

Good Things

Left him on a Tuesday, didn't have much to say
wrote a note explaining, I'm not how I should be
the rain is out to get me, it brings the sorrow I see
if I only had a raincoat, I'd let it wash right over me.
Met a man on Wednesday, he told me that I could stay
shook his hand and thanked him, just like my mother taught me
to always speak politely, even if you feel like screaming
to write your words with poetry, and break your mind with good things.
But when I got to Thursday I couldn't see
any of the good things, ahead of me.
Tried to write with words of good intent
tried to find a good place to rest my head.
What if it's all over now for me?
What if his is the only air I breathe.
I want to feel the colour in my cheeks
I want to be the day when night time sleeps.
I want good things
Oh good days, good nights, good sleep.
