I shouldn't miss you
I shouldn't want to pick up the phone and call you
So why does my heart ache
Why do I dwell

I shouldn't miss you
You hurt me almost beyond repair
So why do I miss you
And your gentle touch
And the way you said my name

I shouldn't miss you
Or how you said "I love you" with little hearts
Because in the end you didn't mean it
It was all *******

Yet, I still miss you
Why do I miss you

Can't still
Need to go
Going crazy
This can't fit the bill
Need to get out
Mind is spinning
The work is hazy
Something is missing
Feeling restless
Can't stay here
I am a hopeless wanderer
That much has always been clear
Need to get going
Must pack the bags
New skylines await me
Must escape the restless plague
restless wanderer skylines work

NO
Need to be skinnier - need to slim down
Need to put that makeup on
Need to wear the clothes that fit
The ones that make me hate myself

Need to fit in - need to blend with crowds
Need to hide it all
Need to make them think it's okay
Even if it's not

Need to say NO
Need to break free
Need to forget what they say to me
I am pretty
I am fine
It's going to be okay - I won't lose my mind

NO
I won't lose my mind

Why do you follow me everywhere I go
Why do I care
Please leave me alone and get out of my head
You hurt me too much to come near again
I know you heard what I just said
Just please leave me be
Leave my life
I need to be alone
Just leave me alone
Get out of my head
when i fall you're there to catch me
when i'm too weak to stand we lay,
side by side always together:
forever and a day

six years ago we met
and my life was changed forever
knew it then i didn't,
how you'd stand by me whenever

through stormy skies
and peaceful nights
we're stronger together
fighting these fights

you mirror the good and blur the bad
your heart good and true,
without you to guide me
i don't know what i'd do

together we'll dance
together we'll rise
together we'll make it
to see brighter skies.
just a little ode to my mirror for always being my person.

Take a picture - it'll last longer
Someday you'll miss these days, my dear
Take a picture - we can frame it
To remember it well when mem'ries are sour
Maybe someday the thoughts will be fonder
Always seem to be when the days last longer
But what do I know

Take a note down - scribble it out
Don't want to forget the words that were said
Take a note down - save it for later
When new lines are harsh - feel like breaking
Use some ink - don't let it fade
If it's done well colors will stay the same
Don't let it go

It hurts to let go - hurts to let go
Don't want to forget because
It hurts to let go - hurts to let go
Please come back
Need you right now - need you right now
Missing you so
Need you right now - need you right now
Come home

Take a picture - it'll last longer
Take a note down - save it for later

Your voice is fading from my mind
I don't want to forget it
Your image is still plastered before me
But the grains are growing clearer
Still remember when I found out that you were gone
Still feel the ache each day
I wish that you were still here
Don't want you to be forgotten
You will never be forgotten

— The End —
