With your hands on your hips
and a smile on your lips
lookin' like you just
got your first kiss
I'm finding it hard to resist
'cause I'm an artist
and you're a masterpiece
I think you could be
the greatest part of me
if only I had the guts to say

Hello, hello, it's nice to meet you
I'm sorry that these teeth
that greet you
smell of cigarettes
but I think you're
the best in the
room

Anxiety
has been
creeping in
under the door
and seeping into
my floor
so each step
I conquer
poisons
my toes

Why must I
pay
to live on the planet
I was
born
on?

I cling
to words
for fear
that my body
could
disappear

They always say
the grass is greener on the
other side
I will tell you
it's the same shade
They always say
their way is better than yours
I will tell you
stay true to your
heart

They will try and take you
they'll tear your morals
apart
hiding behind
their smiles so fake
inside their lonely hearts
waiting to break

It doesn't matter how you begin
it only matters how you
end

They always say
the grass is greener on the
other
side
.

a friend asked,
"Do you miss her?"
and before I could whisper
a reply
they nodded,
"You do, I can see it
in the way you look
at the sky
...
everytime"

I don't remember
much
from before the
divorce
just blurred images
of him
shoving her
the year prior
.

They say diamonds last
forever
I guess my love's a diamond
for you
I say things I think are clever
but you leave me
smiling like a fool

If I had diamonds
for everytime you
saved me
I'd put them
in your eyes

They say gold can buy you
happiness
I guess you're the only gold
I have
I'm happy when I'm kissing
your lips
I hope this is something you
grasp

If I had gold
for everytime you
saved me
I'd put it
in your heart

But all I have
is sweet, sweet love
I hope that's
enough

I hope that's
enough

I
am
b

Government shutdown
means no food stamps
stamping my foot
in hunger
I'm cold
lonely
and miss my
brother
