Even though I understand it, the distance still hurts.
scared of vulnerability, scared of abandonment.
I’m scared too, but either we try or say we never knew.
Love is always risky, that doesn’t mean it won’t pay off.

Wish I Could
You’ve only just gone
but I miss you already.
I told you to Take care and be good
I know I can’t hold you now, but just know I wish I could.
Heartache Storming
I haven’t known you long
but something about being without you just feels wrong.
That’s why these tears are forming
warning that there’s heartache storming.
Am I just setting myself up to fall again?
Tell me, is it safe to fall in love with you?
cold
The snow continues to fall, while I’m inside
hurting like Hell because you haven’t called.
I’m wondering if you ever really cared at all.
I can finally stop playing the fool
who thought we would always be together.
I’ve been through enough cold weather
and heart ache.
Between the Lungs
He said “I think you just need fingers
ran through your soul
like you’d be doing to my hair.”
I said, “that’s not fair.
Don’t say something you might not mean
It’s one thing to make me needy between the legs
but even worse to make me needy between the lungs.”
Touching You
I’d hold your hand
trace my finger along the crook of your elbow
to the curve of your shoulder
the hills and valley of your chest
the slope of your neck
to the tussles of your soft, cinnamon hair.
Needed to Know
It was the lack of effort
that told me all I needed to know.
I was in this all alone.
You had given up a long time ago.
Not a Damsel
I’m not asking you to be my shinning knight
but you should treat me better and start acting right.
I don’t need saving, in fact I do just fine on my own
So if you want me in your life then you need to grow up.
I could be good for you if you let me
but you’re too scared I’ll end up being your weakness.
Unsaid
You knew exactly what to say to make my heart smile
but it was the words you never said
that made my heart break
Stuck on You
Maybe one day I’ll finally get good at getting over you
But until then I’ll have another drink while I listen to another song that reminds me of you
I’ll drive by your house again and read through old phone conversations
Oh cause one day you wont cross my mind
But until then I’m still at this bar, stuck on you
I imagine hearing your name and not giving it a second thought
There will be no floods of memories that have to be fought
No ache in my heart nor tears in my eyes
You’ll be gone and I’ll have moved on
But until then I’m still at this bar, stuck on you.
