I can't stop staring at those ocean eyes.
Burning cities, ****** skies.
Fifteen flares inside those ocean eyes.

I can't stop thinking about your diamond mind.
Careful creature, Made friends with time
She left them lonely in her diamond mind.

"Take a deep breath, you're shivering. Come here and I'll warm you up. What's the matter, love? Bad day? It's okay, you're home now. I've got you."

If I can make a difference in the world,
If I can help someone,
Then you bet my life I will,
I will try and help every single person,
Because everyone deserves a chance at life,
A fair chance.

You're standing on the edge. You feel the pull of gravity as it tries to grab at you, trying to drag you back down. You are struggling to hold on as you stand at the very top of the crane. You clear your mind and you yet yourself go. You stop resisting gravity, and you let it pull you down. You fall, and you get the taste of true freedom before you hit the ground.

You know that old love?
That love where you shower your significant other with love and affection.
That love which sends you to your knees.
That love where you can just spend time watching tv while eating pizza.
That love where you just talk about your interests, your views on life, your dreams and aspirations.
You know that love?
Yeah,
That's what I want

The image of me loving someone else while you stand and watch,
Well, it's killing me because I loved you,
But you threw it away, and I know you're sorry
And I forgive you,
But forgiving is only half the battle,
And I want to be happy, and I want you to be happy,
But they collide, and I feel like if I were to stay
We would be happy at first, but time will catch up, and I'll become unhappy, and it would spread like a virus,
And If I am happy with someone else, then I'm really sorry.
I am not blaming you per se, but I do wish you would have stopped,
And it's hard to cope when there are so many people interested in me,
Because they make me believe in their vows and promises
And that's more than what you gave me.
He's kind, and he's nice, and I know him beyond his masks.
She's funny, and she knows me and knows what I need and want.
And then there's you,
You are sweet, and sometimes you can make me happy, but that's it.
And I need something more than that because you also cause me so much pain,
More pain than the positives you give me.
This last call could be all we can do for each other.
It's time to let you go

Maybe it's the way you look at me,
Maybe it's the way you hold me,
Maybe it's the way you care for me,
Maybe it's the way you talk to me,
Maybe it's the way you understand me,
Maybe it's the way we joke around,
Maybe it's the way we love,
Maybe all it is
Is you.
