as I lay here all alone My heart melts from icy stone I recall my days of youth filled with love and light and truth you don't get it no you just don't get it sometimes things just come and go You don't get it no you just don't get it These images are mine to own holding on to heavy things makes it harder to begin letting go is always best things feel lighter in my chest And these images I hold onto yet The rain when it falls the train when it stops A girl with a smile the sound of a doorknock the tick of the clock the touch of your skin the feel of a win A moon when it rises sun when it sets the look in your eyes when I kiss your neck the wind when it blows freckles on your nose the taste of red wine the way you always blow my mind As I lay here all alone All these memories I have owned Make me love, lighter and truth is i'd never change my youth you don't get it no you just don't get it sometimes things just come and go You don't get it no you just don't get it These images are mine to own The rain when it falls the train when it stops A girl with a smile the sound of a doorknock the tick of the clock the touch of your skin the feel of a win A moon when it rises sun when it sets the look in your eyes when I kiss your neck the love in your voice is my sound of choice the best day of my life was when you called wife and These Images I hold on to yet

I've got your number I've got your home address I've got a feeling that you like this dress let's have a dance I smell the scotch on your breath the same stench that you left when you left me in death this is surreal too candid to be real you comitted the crime i was awake the whole time left in the past you were quick to move fast I feel no guilt your next move is your last brutality that is your name your past and your future are far from humane if only you could see me now back then pray you never ever see me again there are no eyes from the satellites to pierce these walls we've got about four hours til we see the dawn another 24 before they know you're gone you thought you were rid of me but I guess you were wrong wrong I guess you were wrong you were wrong underestimating wrong and there's no debating no debating and i'm back to reality wait i've got the motivation now i feel your exhalation how my dear so easily i draw the fear in you that you gave to me

When the world rests on a decision and the home you've built looks just like a prison start stripping away cement I said what I meant and there's no way around but through the broken hearts i went through and there's no way out but through through you I am without solace stuck with an impossible dream but i continue to live it i'm not who i seem and there's no way around but through the broken hearts i went through and there's no way out but through through you I love you like a flame loves gasoline, gasoline. I love you like a flame loves gasoline, gasoline and there's no way around but through the broken hearts i went through and there's no way out but through through you

When you came here it wasn't what was said that wraps around me and fear surrounds me chaos has come again my worth is taken and leaves me stripped and gives you nothing what can i say where's satisfaction where ignorance made drunk heaven is my judge you shouldn't have to see this foolish honesty and love lets be wise lets see nothing done i should be wise for honesty is a fool and loses what it works for ill set down the pegs that make this music I'll seize the glory in a world so gory

slow down feel it from the inside out always know the pain and doubt never hear what's good never feel what's right I am falling fast in my house of glass I am crashing quick I'm so tired of your tricks I am falling fast in this house of glass I am searching for a better way to be free searching for a better way to be me searching for a better way to be free searching for a better way to be me slow down see the sun, the starts, the moon shining oh so bright above you always see what's real always even in the night

In record time the words were mine Put ink to the page gave the story a stage And now it's your turn to make me learn your show to make My words to take you make it shine so bright I only feel it in my bones when it feels right ooh when it feel so right I only feel it when it's smooth, quick and quiet like ooh and it feels so right ooh on the inside ooh yeah it feels so right ooh and even if I could decide ooh I'd still say it feels so right Look for the shapes and angles your words are your key some fit close together quite perfectly And now it's my turn to tell you to see the ways of your words make me weak in my knees and you make you make me shine so bright

You make everything elusive You make money out of stone You teach a man to be symbol Put him up on a wooden throne You make bread out of body You make me feel so naughty You teach a girl to be an angel Only to bring her to mercy You could be the one who hates me Cut me up in parts of nine You could be the one who bates me Blood is good, blood is wine I could be everything that you wanted some say I should Instead I'm the girl who called you out Just to show you that I could you could be the one to holds me in palms of your two hands you could be the one who makes me makes me hurt, kill, take, steal and you can be so hypnotizing you can be ever so loud through the shouting and the raging I still hold my head up proud you do everything in the name of someone else so high above You say things that are meant to shame me when all I do is done with love I could be the girl I could be your world I could be the girl who calls you out I could be the girl To show you what you've got I could be the girl who calls you out

there's no three in you and me there's no love in this I see only pain and aching limbs steady hands hold heavy sins I am dreaming, wide awake left to walk in a shaky state Packed my bags and hit the road looking for a home to know And so it goes My life in throws And so it goes in your company And so I go Left you for the show Took my three to the marquee There is nothing for me here no talisman to hold me near empty shell held up in ties you were born from a lie

She said these falling tears will dry and go like the tide i fall back and wait until it is time baby you still see me slinking back on the sand baby you still see me slinking back on the sand put me to the test I'll swim the water weigh me down but I'll swim the water i see the light from the shore I won't see it in the morning. I see a dozen lights up in the air they move back and forth so slow i see a dozen lights they all have names Someone's coming to see them

I find myself just staring out the window waiting for a knocking at the door She said lover take your time but hurry up cause I'm sort of in a rush did i spit this story before much more than a crush said she wasnt bout the lust but her heart had some rust and if i help her dust it off she'll be someone that i could trust i said loyalty's a must honesty's a plus it takes more than your butter skin soft to the touch I checked her out for baggage she didn't have much wasn't quite what i was used to but I'm sure I could adjust both curious enough we sat down to discuss just who i am future plans and such she asked a few questions i said excuse me for a minute but my destiny is calling and I gotta go get it tell me whats your name so I can tell my friends of the good man and why he came I can't lie at first you all look the same but you're not like all the others just here for fortune and fame girl I'm leavin on the next plane I don't know when I'll be back again. but I'll be waiting for you.
