seriously

give me a break.

12/2/09

the kind of girl that whispers 'thank god for you'

i can't trust anyone.

the grace

in better days i've been known to listen
i go to waste, all my time is missing
i'm mapping out my ending, it's never gonna happen now
these things are condescending with everybody backing down

you pray to stars that can help you get by
and all at once you forget to try
i'd go there if you let me, they're never gonna find me now
my life is always empty and in and out of doubt

you're not coming back for me, these things they will never be
i'm so used to being wrong, so put me where i belong

i'll get back to you, god knows i try, but i still lose
and i get back to you, these days run by, but i still lose

angels say they can make you suffer
they give and take like a vicious lover

when all this loses meaning, you'll never want it back somehow
awake but still i'm dreaming
and never waking up

alone...where i'm not alone

12/1/09

if it kills me

you're far from perfect...
but at the end of the day, i know you'll be there.

waiting to listen.
waiting to comfort.
waiting to understand.






















i still believe you're the one for me.
and i'm pretty convinced now that nothing will ever change that.

-

i'm only pretty sure, that i can't take anymore.

11/20/09

it's a shame

i can't believe how quickly we lost you.
you're so far gone now and there's no turning back.

city girl

lost, losing.

disappointment has become a familiar feeling.

11/9/09

the background

everything is quiet,
since you're not around
i live in the numbness now
in the background

i do the things we did before
i walk haight street to the store
and they say where's that crazy girl
you don't get drunk on red wine, and fight no more
i don't see you anymore
since the hospital

the plans i make still have you in them

'cause you come swimmin' into view
and i'm hanging on your words like i always used to do
the words they use so lightly, i only feel for you
i only know because i
carry you around
in the background
i'm in the background

words they come and memories all repeat
i lift your head while they change the hospital sheets
and i would never lie to you, no
i would never lie to you, no
i felt you long after we were through
we were through

the plans i make still have you in them

'cause you come swimming into view
and i'm hanging on your words like i always used to do,
the words we use so lightly, i only feel for you
i only know because i carry you around
in the background

'cause f felt you long after we were through

when you come swimmin' into view
and i'm hanging on your words like i always used to do
the words they use so lightly, i only feel for you
i only know because
i'm way, i'm way
in the background

i'm in the background



there's something so ultimately profound about a song that can make your skin tingle.
a song so tragic and yet it's what makes it so beautiful.
