I've got your picture in my locket
It doesn't do much but remind me of what we were
It doesn't really help me forget
But it helps me realize you were for sure
I keep it close inside my pocket
As if it really had importance
I really wish it were a compass
So it could point me in the right direction
Why can't you hold me like you hold your grudges?
Why can't i forget you like you forgot me?
I don't know why this problem seems to persist
But i guess i'll keep on crying if you insist

When you are down you bring everyone with you
When you're not around what am I to do?
I know what you do (when you say you're alone)
I know where you are (when you don't come home)
I'm not spending anymore time
waiting on the phone
I've grown accustomed to saying sorry
I think it's you who needs to worry
I don't mean to be mean (you don't deserve it)
i just want to be considerate
But just because i say it now
doesn't make it permanent
You're only sorry when you're scared
Why is it when only you are sorry, that it's unfair?

The first thing that I learned
"Never let your imagination get the best of you"
I spent the last week in my room
I don't know how or why I made it through
Is it because I like a simple life
Or is it because you made me want to survive
Hey Hannah,
You should really change your last name to Savannah
'Cause then I would chuckle instead of choke
When i think about the words i spoke
Hey Hannah,
You should really think about moving to Atlanta
Then this song would be a mental note
That you'll never get the letters that I wrote
The next thing that I learned
"Always know your timing in the summer"
Before I went to work
I knew i had to quench my thirst
So i grabbed a Palmer
You asked me if I wanted change for that
And until this day i cringe at what i said
It's been a whole week since last time
I went to visit your place of work
But since then i've had the time to recover
Convince myself it will never work

Burning Questions

Trying to find an adjective
To describe everything you did
Not to sound cliche but
You're tearing me apart in every single way
There are things you shouldn't say
To the one you try to push away
But who am I to point the finger
I shouldn't be alone with you
'Cause you make me want to prove
That I can feel it too
January 21st, you told me about
Your plan on how you were going to burst
First you would let all of the stories make you
Lose your inner-self
And you would not talk to your friends
Unless it were for your own help
(And that's not good for your health)
But who am I?
(who am I!)
To point the finger

Before today I had plans to see the world
In a brand new way
But that was before I had realized that the world
Was not how I imagined
I thought I knew my way around these parts
But i guess i forgot
I thought I knew where I was in life
But i've missed so much
Remind myself of you
Bold but yet afraid
I don't know what to do
When you're not the same

If you're going to reminisce about everything i said
Make sure it's accurate
I've been dying to get a drink but a drink won't fix my
Involuntary urge to not give a shit
If you think you can regret
every bad mistake you've made
Well i have to laugh at that
I hope there's not a time where i'm too afraid to
Admit my mistakes and blame it on the facts
Tell me a story with no end
Those are the ones that are most real
Sing me a song that makes me cry
That way i know i still can feel
There's a tree outside my house
And every year it sheds
The fragile leaves that died
And it makes me ask myself
If it can go out with the old and in with the new
Then why can't I?
With every time you answer
All my questions with that stare
It's more than I can bare
It's more than I can bare

Deadleg

I've been bringing this deadleg around
for the past four years
I don't know whether i should keep it or just
Cut it off
What do you know what do you care
It doesn't benefit you
Did i fail to mention that it hurts so much
And I say I'm scared but in reality
I'm just unsure about the future
And if you think I can just cut if off
To make it easier for myself
Then why am I still here?
Should I have found medical attention by this point
Or should I just muscle it out 'til I can barely walk
I'll struggle through everyday
To prove to you i'm not okay
But who would I prove wrong now anyway?

I don't know where to begin
Should i start with i'm sorry
For being the way i've been
It's almost spring again
And with spring comes the unmistakable scent of change
That i'm not so quick to succumb to
What if i'm afraid
To tell you how I feel
When you go away
And what if i can't say
The things that i've been thinking about
Since the month of May
I wasn't going to address the current matter at bay
But i guess it's a little too late
You were never on time anyway
And since we're both in the same boat
I guess i'll bail us out once again
It must be nice to know that the rain will never end
You were my perfect ending
I was a way to get some air
You were my good intention
I was a weight you could not bare
You were my October
I was your fleeting thought
You were my answer
And I was not

The Sad Truth

Have I ever told you something you don't want to hear
Everything you've built inside yourself
Stripped from you, forced to face your fears
I've had dreams where I am someone that i'm not
And then suddenly I wake up and realize what I forgot
That all I could be is floating in the sea
It's the truth like it damn well should be
All that I want is to know the saddest truth
So I won't lie to myself anymore
And all I can say is that i'm sick of keeping track
Of all the times i told myself i'm never coming back
So i guess i figured out
That the pains i've been having in my back are from overwork and stress
From things that happened in my troubled past
I've been through the pictures
I've been through the letters
Both which remind me we'll never get better
I've been to the doctor, he said better luck next year
And it hurts just like a punch
I think I love you too much
It's the truth, but i wish it weren't so true
All that I want is to know the saddest truth
so I won't lie anymore
