I'm in love with a boy who doesn't even know
And love is not a word I use so casual
I don't want to love someone who doesn't love me back
But my feelings are too far gone to try and get them back
Red lips have made him bleed and only time will stop the flow
And for the time it takes to heal, it's hard to let him go
For now my lips are sealed, but the key has not been swallowed
Foolish i would be, keeping keys and secrets in the same hollow
For the secrets will get smart and find their way to freedom
And I am left empty, wishing that i hadn't freed them
The second case scenario, I throw the key away
But I'm hoping that I'll need it, to let them out one day.
The day that they'll escape is when his heart is healed
And only if he comes to me and tells me all he feels
I'm hoping that his feelings will be the same as mine
And the lyrics of our hearts will make a perfect rhyme

They say it’s where the Heart is
And now I know that’s true
Maybe not the whole thing
But a piece enjoys the view

The air’s a little sweeter
The sky is brighter blue
The people smile bigger
To my town I’m always due

I left you for a while
But then again came back
It’s strange how with each mile
Returned the life I lacked

The threshold that read ‘welcome’
I now read upside down
I hold back tears of sadness
Remembering I’ll come back round

See that’s the part that gets me
That the doormat will do its job
No longer do I welcome
But stand before the doorknob

when my mind runs away restless
i feel that i must catch it
but the only way to reign it in
is with yellow paper and pen

it runs away from the chaos
that has turned into its home
it tries to find its peace
but can't seem to get alone

the only way the chaos sifts
is through the ball point pen
and when it hits the paper
i begin to breathe again
