Friends

Don't be afraid of hurting me. Being friends with you means the world to me and I would never ever EVER want to lose that. Don't second guess anything. We have to be in each other lives in some capacity. I need you. All those months of you not talking to me were pure hell and I can't go back to that.

"Into Twilight"

"Into Twilight"

"The day is almost done
soon our time will come
and I'm so anxious
I feel like I could burst
right out of my skin

The sun is going down
the night is drawing near
and in this twilight hour
I know you'll be right here
right here with me

Oh but when the blackness comes
I know it's almost gone
there's no more sun
our time is done
so let's go back
go back into twilight

Listen to the the sound
of the rain coming down
we're safe in your car
I'm safe inside your arms
safe inside the twilight

It's the best part of my day
when we can get away
your eyes
they shine so bright
here in this twilight

Oh but when the blackness comes
I know it's almost gone
there's no more sun
our time is done
so let's go back
back into twilight

I never thought
that love would find me
but here in the twilight
I have all that I need
the sound of your voice
it's the best music I know
you know you mesermize me
Oh, I just can't breathe

Oh but when the blackness comes
I know it's almost gone
there's no more sun
our time is done
so let's go back
back into twilight"

Picture

I need answers, and I need them soon before I totally lose my mind. I just really want a picture or two of us together. I need that forever. This is the only experience of love that I will ever have, that I choose to ever have and I want to preserve it forever. I need it. I need one more day, or one more hour, or even 5 minutes. I need it. Please, I'm begging from the bottom of my heart. Or what's left of it anyway.

Tinted Windows= Amazing

I love love love love love the Tinted Windows album. Just like I knew I would. I'm too tired right now to write a full review, but I'd have to say after a few listens, I think "Dead Serious" might be my favorite and my next song that I learn on guitar. Great job Tinted Windows!

"One More Day With You"

"One More Day With You"


Baby I think you know
that I meant it
all the words I said
I don't regret it
It's so hard to believe
that it's been so long
so tell me baby
what did I do wrong

I can't understand
things changed so quickly
now I wonder
do you even miss me
You don't write back
You don't pick up the phone
so tell me baby
what did I do wrong

Chorus-
And I'm crying here tonight
I'm dying here tonight
all alone in my room
thinking it through
I'd give anything for one more day with you
I'm lying here tonight
all alone, it just ain't right
just thinking of you
and thinking it through
I'd give up the rest of my life
for one more day with you


Baby I know
you know I just can't stand it
You want me no more
this ain't how I planned it
it don't make sense
no sense at all
so tell me please
what did I do wrong

Baby I know that
you moved on without me
but I don't think you're really all that happy
you're stuck in a rut
just like I'm stuck in this hole
baby tell me please
where did I go wrong

Chorus


And I'm falling on my knees
just begging for you please
give me one more day
give me one more time
say that your heart
will stay forever mine

Chorus

tomorrow

Ok, so I think I'm about to do something incredibly foolish tomorrow, but I don't care, I have to do it or I will lose my mind forever. Maybe some good will come out of it. Maybe I will get my one more day at least. We shall see....

My fault

Sometimes I really feel like this is all my fault. Like the reason things went downhill and the reason for the split is my fault. I know he's scared of losing the most important thing to him, but honestly, nowadays, that can't happen unless you really are a truly terrible person and there is proof of that, and he is neither a terrible person nor is there any proof of anything wrong doing on his part. So it has to be my fault. I know I was scared for certain people in my life to know about us and it probably made it look like I was never gonna take that step, but thats not true. I took the step already. They know what happened and they know I want it back more than anything in this world. But I don't think I'm ever gonna be given that chance again. I blew it. I screwed it up. In other words, maybe I deserve to suffer and be miserable because I had the greatest guy in the entire world and now I'm never gonna get the chance to be with him again. I'd give anything for even just one more day. I'd trade the rest of my days for just one more with him.

Tinted Windows

I just want my Tinted Windows album! Why can't it be next Tuesday right now? I mean, I can't have anything else I want in life, at least I could have the music I want. I just listened to clips on amazon.com and it sounds like I'm going to be able to relate to a lot of the songs really well, plus there are a few "fun" songs thrown in there too. Can't wait to be sitting here writing my review of what is sure to be an amazing album. Then again, anything with a Hanson member in it is bound to be gold. Way to go Taylor, you musical genius :)

new song lyrics

"Be Ok"

"Someone said today
you should just be ok
stop your crying
and someone said today
get over the pain
you're not trying

I'm not ok

Someone said today
get over yourself
don't you give in
someone said today
let go of your chains
just start living

but I'm not ok
no I can't be ok

You say I'm masochistic
you say I love the pain
well how can I let go
when pain is the only thing that holds
it holds me when no one will

Someone said today
get off the floor
get a grip or you'll be sorry
and someone said today
you look so far away just like a zombie

Just be ok
I can't be ok
I need pills just to make it through the day
Be ok
I can't just be ok
no, you know it doesn't work that way"


Everyone asks me the same question all the time- "Are you ok?" For the millionth time people, no I am not ok. I'm as far from being ok as you can get. How can people expect me to get over having my heart ripped out of my chest so easily? I've had a rough couple of years. My father's health is always in question and the absolute love of my life left me alone. I am alone. And maybe it's time I start getting used to that. Too bad being alone means I'm stuck with myself.

Dreams

Okay, here it is, your choice... it's simple, her or me, and I'm sure she is really great. But I love you, in a really, really big hold a radio over my head outside your window, unfortunate way that makes me hate you, love you. So pick me, choose me, love me.

That's what I dream about saying. I dream of him making that choice and actually choosing me for a change. The sad thing is, the minute you stop being a kid is the minute your dreams stop coming true. Being grown up means living in a scary, unfair world, where adults aren't allowed to have dreams anymore. We're just supposed to bury what's inside of us and hope that the world doesn't kick us in the ass too much.

"Should've Picked Me"

Song I just wrote called "Should've Picked Me"

"I've been crying and fighting
the urge to break free
I don't know what to do
since you left me
It's never darkest right before the dawn
It's always darkest before it's all the way gone
So I guess I will just stay alone
and let my heart die on it's own
you could have me if you wanted
but you don't
no you don't

You should've picked me
you said that you would leave
she doesn't love you like I do
you should be right here
and always be near
instead you tore this all apart
when you should've picked me

And I'm not sure you ever really
meant the words you said
I shouldn't be the only one
fighting for this not to end
now we're both stuck living in misery
cuz..

You should've picked me
you said that you would leave
she doesn't love you like I do
you should be right here
and always be near
instead you tore this all apart
when you should've picked me

I'm the one who loves you unconditionally
so get up baby and fight for me
please fight for me
cuz...

You should've picked me
you said that you would leave
she doesn't love you like I do
you should be right here
and always be near
instead you tore this all apart
when you should've picked me

You could have me and your life if you wanted"


This song for me represents how if you really, truly love and care for someone with your whole heart, then you should fight to keep that person in your life no matter what. There are always bumps in the road, but there's nothing that love can't overcome. Things have a way of working out when you have that one true love by your side. I know I've proven that my love is strong and willing. Still, it doesn't seem to matter. But even though he doesn't want to try to be with me, I still want him to care about me. I still want him to talk to me. I still feel such a deep connection to him even after all this time and that will never change.

Tied Together With a Smile

My favorite song lyric right now-

"Hold on, baby you're losing it
the water's high, you're jumping into it
and no one knows, you're letting go
you cry, but you don't tell anyone
that you might not be the golden one
and you're tied together with a smile
but you're coming undone"

by Taylor Swift

Why can't I write stuff like that? Everything I write sucks. I should just give it up. It's not like I'm gonna be the next Taylor Swift or anything. I'm not gonna be the next anything.

Not a good day

So far this has not been a good day. Granted it's only 9:17 am, but it's not gotten off to a good start at all. If a certain someone happens to read this- you can talk to me. I'm sorry if you saw me cry the day before you left, but don't let that stop you from talking to me. I cry everyday, it's nothing new. I just don't want to lose all connection to you. It hurts way too much.

I miss you

Just some lyrics I wrote today. The actual title is the name of the person it's about. I miss you more than I could possibly express. I would do anything for you.


"Sitting in your car
in a crowded parking lot
you held my face inside your hands
and the whole world was forgot
you pressed my hand against your heart
you held me underneath the trees
down in the park
you kissed my lips
and the whole world was forgot

The nights in the hotel
the first time you said the words
the nights spent holding the phone
thinking of you and feeling less and less alone
Oh, 1, 2, 3 mix cd began it all
began our love, I thought we'd never fall

and now you're gone

I guess this is why I write songs
I've got nothing profound to say
just spilling my heart down
to preserve you in words
to remember every day we spent
to preserve you in pages
so I will never forget
No I won't ever forget
I won't ever change
time may pass, but I will love you just the same"


I LOVE YOU.

Colbie Caillat- "Realize"

I'm in love with this song today. "Realize" by Colbie Caillat


Take time to realize
That your warmth is crashing down on in
Take time to realize
That I am on your side
Didn't I, didn't I tell you?
But I can't spell it out for you
No, it's never gonna be that simple
No, I can't spell it out for you
If you just realize what I just realized
Then we'd be perfect for each other
And we'd never find another
Just realize what I just realized
We'd never have to wonder
If we missed out on each other, now
Take time to realize
Oh, oh, I'm on your side
Didn't I, didn't I tell you?
Take time to realize
This all could pass you by
Didn't I tell you?
But I can't spell it out for you
No, it's never gonna be that simple
No, I cant spell it out for you
If you just realize what I just realized
Then we'd be perfect for each other
and we'd never find another
Just realize what I just realized
We'd never have to wonderIf we missed out on each other

"I'm a Wreck, I'm a Mess"

Just some more lyrics I wrote at work today. Don't have music for this one just yet.

"Driving on home
after another long day
looking back at everything in the mirror
I'm missing your lips and the taste of your kiss
it's hard to believe it was real

I'm a wreck, I'm a mess
it's so hard to make sense
why my life was ripped from me
so suddenly
Why you went away
with not much to say
I don't understand how you could leave me alone

We fought for our love
we threw it back in their faces
and we smiled, we laughed
we were in love
guess the fight got too hard
and I wasn't enough
cuz you gave up, yeah baby
you gave me right up

I'm not mad, I'm just sad
I know you had your reasons
you'd be with me baby if you could
I'm a wreck, I'm a mess
it's so hard to make sense
but I'll be here
yeah I'll still be right here
just a wreck, just a mess
just in love"

Wreck of the Day

One thing I know for sure...I'm in love and always will be. There's nothing that can happen to me and there's nothing that anyone can say to me to change how I feel. No matter how much of a wreck I am over losing what I had, I still say it's worth the pain. When he's not around, I feel like less of a person. Just his presence is a piece of me that is too strong to let go of. I don't want anyone else. I fear that no one will ever compare. No one ever can compare. Call me crazy, call m obsessive or whatever other name in the book there is, it's not gonna sway my feelings. Love isn't supposed to make sense after all.

To whom I hope is reading all of my posts, please don't be afraid of what I say. It merely feelings I must get out, and you know you are the only person I've ever truly been able to talk to. Just take what I say and don't think less of me for it, please.

At least I still have music. This is one crazy, mixed up world in which I feel like most people are just barely getting by, just like me. You can hear that in the music. We are all just trying so desperately to hang on and not give up. Even in songs that aren't so serious on the surface, maybe the artists are just trying to lighten the darkened mood, the black cloud that seems to constantly surround us all. I may never really figure anything out. But like I said, I know one thing for sure. It's that love is worth fighting for. Love is worth the pain.

Reckless

I don't know why, but lately I really feel like doing reckless things. Like Bella in "New Moon" when she lost Edward and she would do anything reckless just to hear his voice (read Twilight series if you don't get that reference.) It's really strange. I got my cartilage pierced on my left ear over the weekend just for the hell of it. I'm thinking about getting a tattoo and maybe dying my hair a different color. What the heck is wrong with me? I never used to think about doing this stuff. Not like getting an ear piercing is anything to write home about, but when you're me, you don't ever think about just randomly doing things like that. Guess there's things about me that have changed over the last few months.

New song lyrics

Don't have a title for this one yet....


"Why do the answers
always elude those who seek
my mind keeps on searching
but I never find anything

And the searching leads to loving
and the loving leads to pain
and pretty soon you're left
wishing you couldn't feel anything

And the answers are non-existent
to the ones who need them the most
to the ones who can't get what they want
to the ones who have already lost

You could probably tell any kind of lie to my face
I'd sit there and smile and believe every word you say
and the lies they lead to loving
and the loving leads to pain
and pretty soon you're left
wishing you couldn't feel anything

And the answers are non-existent
to the ones who need them the most
to the ones who can't get what they want
to the ones who have already lost

Oh and I've been running in my sleep
trying to find you, but you're always so out of reach
out of reach..

It's just not fair

And the answers are non-existent
to the ones who need them the most
to the ones who can't get what they want
to the ones who have already lost

And the answers they stay hidden
and they won't come out to play
they just laugh and keep me locked up
day after day after day

Oh the answers, they lead to the truth
and the truth is a fragile thing
and the blood in your mouth
says you've been biting your tongue
you've got something that you won't say"

Now if only I could think of a unique title for it...

Truth, Bitter Truth

I realized a lot this weekend. Firstly, I feel like I have no answers in my life. No answers as to why certain things happen, the real reason why things didn't turn out like I planned or like we planned, what I'm supposed to really be doing with my life, etc. I know I'm wasting my time sittng behind a desk all day when there's probably so much more I could be doing. I would love to work in music, but for one thing there's not that many jobs open in that, and for another I'm afraid that if I work in it I won't love it the same way I do now, and my heart can't handle losing something else that I love so dearly. I really should be on my way to work right now, but I don't feel like going this week at all. My head is spinning with unanswered questions and confusion. I was told once that I've built an imaginary cage around myself, and perhaps this is true because I certainly do feel held back right now, but there's no way to break through that cage when someone else always gets what you want. I can't break through when the world doesn't make sense. It's hard feeling so much older than you really are. I can't talk to anyone because no one else thinks the way I do. At least not at my age. How can your life flash before you at 23? I feel like I've lost all meaning and like I've lost sight of searching for whatever it is my purpose is here. I honestly think that without music I wouldn't still be alive. I've lost too much, it's the only thing keeping me afloat. Someone please give me some answers. Life shouldn't be this confusing or this unfair.
