I didn’t ever ask for this
And maybe we should have asked you more
But when you asked if that’s all
I should have gone for the door
You say that love is pure and that
this is all we’ve got
With a graveyard’s dirt on my hands
I promise you it’s not View full article »
I saw you in a photo from a yesterday
That we didn’t share
I saw you in a time that you told me of
But we didn’t care View full article »
Let’s add it to our list
of promises broken
Add it to our things
of well meant lies we’ve spoken View full article »
Maybe this was a high school song
Something stupid for all our wrongs
And maybe we wouldn’t have lasted long View full article »
I know it’s my fault you never kissed me
I know it’s my fault I didn’t try
Every chance we had
I chose to die inside
No one saw past me smiling
Only you would ask me why
Your midnight calls in secret
With strangers by our side
You played the music I couldn’t sing to
Shared your candle when I was dark
And I held your hand when you asked if we could dance
With our plans made for forever
And these dreams from yesterday
I should have spoken
We should be ours today
But if you would hear me now
Our promises of everything
I will say all the words
For you my heart will sing
We have waited far too long
For some perfect neverything
And if tonight I can’t hold you
Forever will pay the price
And I know it’s been too long now
Someone else has said they do
But you don’t want the dreary
Your heart still wants me too
All I want is for you happy
All I need is in your smile
And if you need a drop
My heart will bleed a mile
Just for your music I will sing to
I’ll make a light when yours goes out
Take my hand, I’ll lead you out to dance
But if you would hear me now
Our promises of everything
I will scream all the words
For you my heart will sing
We have waited far too long
For some perfect neverything
And if tonight I can’t hold you
Forever will pay
Forever is our chance’s price
There might be a million reasons against
And all the things we should have said
There might be someone’s broken heart
But we should have never been apart
There might be what’s always been
It’s always you and I again
But if you would hear me now
Our promises of everything
I will scream all the words
For you my heart will sing
We have waited far too long
For some perfect neverything
And if tonight I can’t hold you
Forever will pay
Forever is our chance’s price
