I'll take my life once every day if that gets through to you. I'll take my life in every way if that shows I love you. I'll carve myself into that shape if it's perfect for you. I'll carve myself just how you say if that keeps me with you. I'll let you mold me like wet clay if that means me and you. I'll let you mold my dreams each day to make them right for you. I'll let you throw my life away so I may stay with you. I'll let you throw my mind away. I'll do it all for you.

My two most common lines: I'm sorry and I love you. They sit upon my tongue And wait for me to give the cue. The first I say too often, And I'm sorry that I do, But the other is sincere, Offered only unto you.

I tell you I'd give everything For your happiness to be, And I mean I'd give up anything To show you love from me. I know that it's not money, Or a 20 karat ring, But these are my thoughts and words, And they are important things. I'll share them with you always Which is something new to me, But this is just the best way To show you love from me. My thoughts and words are everything, And I'm sending them to you, I know it's close to nothing But they show I do love you.

In just a few hours I will close my eyes, and these stars that I'm seeing will float to the skies, and I will forget for a moment these lies and the pain that resides from our final goodbyes.

"Don't grit your teeth." That's what my mom said, But that's all I can do With these thoughts in my head. I cannot tell you What's wrong within me, So to ease all the tension I'll just grit my teeth. "Don't grit your teeth, You'll wear them all down," But it's what's inside me That's wearing me down. No one will listen Or reason with me So to ease all the tension I'll just grit my teeth. "Don't grit your teeth." That's what my mom said, But these things keep me up When I'm lying in bed. I don't want the pain, Or the scars that remain So to ease all the tension I'll just grit my teeth.

And then she began to fall apart Under the weight of her broken heart.

I promise it's just a question. I promise it's not a lie. I promise it's not the last time that I will say goodbye. I promise it's just a phase. I promise it's not the end. I promise it's not the last time that I will call you friend. I promise it's just a bump. I promise it's not death's win. I promise it's not the last time that I will let you in. I can't promise it's just a thought. I can't promise it's not regret. I can't promise it's not a feeling of wanting to forget.

I was waiting for you When my feet started aching from the small rocks on the concrete That were penetrating the first layer of skin on my feet Making them tougher than I could ever be. The sky started crying and I tried to console it Wondering how someone could cry at a moment like this, A moment when we were Waiting for you. I was waiting for you When the leaves started falling And it reminded me of when I fell for you. You had caught me as the ground caught the leaves And held me like the grass held them, wrapping them up in safety even though it was moments too late. The birds started singing and I sang along with them For what better

Tell them all your secrets. They'll never tell a soul. They'll keep you standing up When your body's had its toll. Beat them in your anger. They'll never scream or cry. They'll let you vent your feelings And never pester why. Hide within their safety. They'll keep you tucked away. They'll let in just enough light For you to know it's day.

They're hungry. They're screaming, And really there's no meaning. They're biting. They're scratching. Their forces are attacking. They're winning. They're gaining. Not much of me remaining. They're cheering. I'm dying. I'll show no sign of crying.
