Leave Me to Be Me

I know I've made mistakes

I know it hurts you

But I need to find my way

Even if that means goodbye

Just know that it doesn't

Mean that I don't love you

I just need to live my life

The way I want to

I'll try to do you proud

For now, I'll fuck around

I'm young - I need to make

Mistakes that lead me to be me

Don't judge me for this

It doesn't change who I am

I just want to make up

For time lost and have fun

I'll probably come home drunk

Or high off that new drug

Possibly find new guys to fuck

That I won't remember the names of

I'll try to do you proud

For now, I'll fuck around

I'm young - I need to make

Mistakes that lead me to be me

I took life too seriously

Always made the right choices

And I'm tired of being the good girl

I want some stories to tell

But please don't stop loving

Me - I'll be the ideal girl

I know I'll do you proud

After all, I have you

Unfinished

I don't feel happy
It's alright
I just want to know what you're feeling

Can we be that empty?
It's not fair
This loneliness I can't bear

We won't be alone
If you stay
I'll love you day after day
Day after day

Won't you say you love me
Ease my mind
We can walk this road hand in hand

We won't be alone
If you stay
I'll love you day after day
Day after day

Back When You Smiled

I remember when you smiled
That was back before you left
Tell me why it had to go away
I remember when you loved me
It was then that I lived
Tell me where have you been

Why don't you come back
You're just the warmth in my bed

I woke up to you holding me
You told me that you would stay
You looked at me and smiled
You were better now
It all had finally changed
But that was just a dream

Why don't you come back
You're just the warmth in my bed

I forgot the way you smiled
That was after you had left
You've been gone a while now
I forgot the way you loved me
What was it that I did
To make you leave for so long

Why don't you come back
You're just the warmth in my bed

Why don't you come back
I want to meet the warmth in my bed

Sunken Ships

We built a ship together
And we sailed it out
For over a year now

We've hit a few storms
The blue grew too dark
But we had each other

One night we made love
As the storm sunk our ship
And I lost you

Your love is an ocean
Your love's the deep sea
I came to find you
But you drowned me

I never learned to swim
Without you I didn't care
I just needed to find you

Your love is an ocean
Your love's the deep sea
I came to find you
But you drowned me

I felt like crying
I never said goodbye
I might as well have died

Your love is an ocean
Your love's the deep sea
You're much more blue
There's no room for me.

Scrap. Crap.

Why is it that I was never good enough for you?

I always tried to do the best that you needed me to do.

Why was it that there were always other girls around?

What was it that they had that I hadn't gotten down?

Were they prettier than me?

Funnier than I could be?

Did they turn you on so... well,

Something I could never impel.

How could you walk away and leave me far behind.

It's hurt me so bad that I even lost my mind.

Every single thing you did led my heart to believe

They were made to be something that I couldn't be.

Were they prettier than me?

Funnier than I could be?

Did they turn you on so... well,

Something I could never impel.

Every other girl seemed to have your attention more than me.

Why is it that I was never good enough for you?

I always tried to do the best that you needed me to do.

Why was it that there were always other girls around?

What was it that they had that I hadn't gotten down?

How am I supposed to feel that you are here to stay

When I can't let go of all those other days.
