rose petals grazed your cheeks
and daisy chains were woven into your hair
and your lips were stained as red as cherrys
and you looked happy
but on the inside you were dying

you were crying so much inside of your head
but on the outside you smiled
your lips bright still
and you wanted to cry, to let it all out
but that would ruin the façade and the mascara you'd put on

because the world didn't see how broken
you were
all they saw was the pretty girl with no troubles at all
and now you're gone, forever and ever
because the monsters in her head finally got her

I wish you would take me and make me your own
and I wish you and I could run away together
to our own tiny, unknown paradise
a land to call our own and a love to call perfect
me and you, two teenage **** ups with
nothing left but each other
you and me, though young and foolish,
perfect for each other
but our love was always under the weather
we were never going to be perfect
'cause you were never going to be in love
with a shy sad girl who you little acknowledge
but I love you with all of my heart
and I really hope you see that
you blank me out like I am nothing because
that's the honest truth
I really am a nobody to you
but I love you
and that's all that counts
and I hope when you're alone
and you have no one else to think about
I cross your mind
from time to time
and I hope you smile slightly

I wanted you to look into my eyes
and tell me that you loved me
and I wanted to know you meant it
by the gleam in your eyes
and the way you looked at me
like a beautiful piece of artwork
like the most fascinating being
on the planet
and like I was so extraordinary
and unique

but that didn't happen
you never even so much
as looked in my direction
and you only broke the silence
between us
when you wanted something from me
never passionate love or a
memorable kiss
just a few coins
for a drink
and a tiny bit of my broken heart
each and every time
you brushed me off
like I was nothing

I want to spend my night
locked away in your dreams
and you weaved into mine
and we'll see each other
in our unconscious paradise
and we'll tell each other
''I'm sorry''
we'll hug like we used to do
and I'll stay still in your arms
unable to move
because I'm scared of leaving you
all over again
then I hear the alarm from my phone
                 your favourite song of course
and it's morning
and I can hear the birds
singing to me
and the wind whispering your name
and I know I have to leave you
again
and I try to scream out
to take me back
but no sound will escape my mouth
and I miss you, dear

our broken love was all that we had
we were lonely souls with nothing to lose
except our friendship and our sanity
we were shattered and helpless
looking for some hope in this seemingly
loveless and hopeless world
with us both left lonely and wanting
someone to hold
we turned to each other
but our hearts turned cold
and to this day I cannot lie
I miss your friendship
and your blue eyes
but I can't forget
the way you hurt me
and the way you completely destroyed me
even though you said
you loved me
                        ( and I know we all lie
                          and I know promises are always broken
                          but you lied about loving
                          me and those kind of lies
                          can destroy people
                          and you said you meant it
                          when you whispered
                          forever but that was nothing more
                          than an alluring deceit )
