Because You're You

We both know that nothing last forever
You think it happens for a reason,
But I know better.
And I won't let you slip away again
Not tonight, not when
You still leave me breathless
My nights are sleepless
I say I mean it and it's true
It's all because you're you.
I have nothing left to give
But what do you care
The world is spinning, I'm finally living
It's about time this life became fair
And I know it's wrong that I am always falling for you
But I am restless, I am reckless and I am hopeless too.
You still leave me breathless
My nights are sleepless
I say I mean it and it's true
It's all because you're youuuuuu
There's not a flaw I can see,
You're so perfect to me because you're
You.
Even after all this time....
You still leave me breathless
My nights are sleepless
You still leave me breathless
My nights are sleepless
I say I mean it and it's true
It's all because you're you.

Fear of the Unknown

You lose yourself in all kinds of places
Always searching for a familiar face to
Give you comfort and some security
Find a haven and leave me
Here.
I wish your words would speak as loudly as your actions do
You never notice but I sort of love you
We these masks purely for protection
So terrified of rejection and
Being alone
And straying from home
Without a breadcrumb trail
To find your way back.
You haven’t learned all the things that you should’ve learned
Somewhere along the way you took a wrong turn
And now you’re struggling to understand common sense
Taking shortcuts, you’re still on the fence
Make up your mind.
I know this part is hard
It’s something that you have to do
Just know I’d give up everything to be near you
We wear these masks purely for protection
And all I’m craving is your affection so
I won’t be alone
And I can stray from home
Without some breadcrumb trail to lead me back.
Excuse me if I’m interrupting
Yours thoughts seem to be tangled in something
Bad.
Pardon me if I’ve ruined the moment.
Oh…

Do You?

Do you remember all the letters you wrote to me?
Unpacked my heart
This is only the start
I wish it was real.
I’m in too deep and I can’t keep myself awake
‘Cause you live in a dream
I’m falling asleep just to hear you speak to me.
It’s harder in reality
Do you believe me, do you believe me?
Nothing’s ever what it seems
Do you see me? Do you?
Do you remember all the letters you wrote to me?
I’ve unpacked my heart
Gone back to the start
To before this was real.
Now please don’t hurt me
I’m at your mercy since before you knew
This walls breaking down
You’ve changed this town for me.
It’s harder in reality
Do you believe me, do you believe me?
Nothing’s ever what it seems
Do you see me? Do you?
I think I’ve taken it too far
There’s no denying what you are
I’m holding tight but there’s nothing there
Too much for me to bear
Do you care?
It’s harder in reality
Do you believe me, do you believe me?
Nothing’s ever what it seems
Do you see me, do you need me?
Harder in reality
Do you believe me, do you believe me?
Do you, do you, do you
Do you want me like I want you?
(Like I want you).

Playing Games

If you lose control can you only blame yourself?
If I lose you am I losing all I've left?
Not ready for apologies
But hell I'm already on my knees so
Stop playing games with me.
We'll pull through,
We always do.
Stab me in the back aned leave me to bleed
Are you getting all of the attention you need yet?
Not ready for another fight
You're always wrong, I know I'm right so
stop playing games with me.
We'll pull through,
We always do.
Stop playing games.
