Let Me

Remember I love you
Because that won't change
No matter how many times
We're left out in the rain

I have to believe
It can't be like this forever
Because we're too strong,too focused
too clever

But all I want
Is a moment beside you
Where pictures and papers and
fears won't hide you

I can't take
all this being alone
Even in this room full of people
No one's home

You are my heartbeat
and I can't stop it
With these empty hands
and a love undaunted

I want to take your place
Let my hands bleed
and let me make you happy
because you're all that I need

Sickness

we are the same,

you and I.

love is supposed to endure all things

but is it supposed to hurt?

the ends wear thin on the rope I hold

but this is where I stay for another day

and let it taunt me.

we are the same,

you and I.

but you are willing to fall into love

after he fell out

and show the world you're able to keep

A facade.

But I don't need your mask

or those arms

love is supposed to believe all things

but I don't buy it.

we are the same,

you and I.

but after lies and truth

and another slamming door

I win.

I can't even count my own scars

but you know what you bought

so take it back.

love is supposed to be kind

but I can't help screaming

the lyrics to your sad song

back in your face

word for word.

we are the same,

you and I.

but I won't trade love

for a lie.
