I’m about to say,
All the things you’re not supposed to say,
But you did me wrong, and the love is gone,
Time has shown your face.
I wish you could feel,
The stab of your knife,
Ripping through my skin,
Here you go you can borrow mine.
Cuz they say if you love them,
Set them free.
But I hate you for what you did to me.
And they say if you love them,
Let them go.
But I hate that you’re happy,
And I wish you were miserable.
Do you think of me,
When you’re between her thighs?
Does this guilt drag you down,
Keep you up,
While you’re lying awake at night?
And I wish I could paint you black & blue,
But you still wouldn’t feel half the pain that I do.
Cuz they say if you love them,
Set them free.
But I hate you for what you did to me. And they say if you love them,
Let them go.
But I hate that you’re happy, And I wish you were miserable.
So go ahead get gone,
And take your bullshit when you go,
Cuz we were never meant to build a home.
I guess I should’ve known,
That I could never tame a wolf.
That you’d sink your fangs,
And leave me to run cold.
Cuz they say if you love them,
Set them free.
But I hate you for what you did to me.
And they say if you love them,
Let them go.
But I hate that you’re happy,
And I wish you were miserable.
Yes, hate that you’re happy,
And I wish you were miserable.
I, hate that you’re happy,
And I wish you were miserable.

Coffee

I can taste it on your lips,
I can smell it in the morning air.
While I’m lying next to you,
The world is passing by without a care.
Before it used to taste so bitter,
But with you it tasted sweet.
Lying in this bed together,
Just you & me.
We were supposed to get married,
With a few dogs, maybe a baby.
But then you said goodbye,
And I still don’t know why.
So no more coffee when the morning comes,
And I won’t love you till the day is done.
Cuz when I smell it yea I think of you,
And all that we’ve been through.
So no more coffee to awake my soul,
No I don’t want to feel it anymore,
Cuz when I smell it yea I think of you,
And all that we’ve been through.
Laying here, my eyes wide.
I see the sun, but I don’t feel it’s warmth.
My bodies fighting to survive,
This house a shell for what once was love.
We were supposed to get married,
With a few dogs, maybe a baby.
But then you said goodbye,
And I still don’t know why.
So no more coffee when the morning comes,
And I won’t love you till the day is done.
Cuz when I smell it yea I think of you,
And all that we’ve been through.
So no more coffee to awake my soul,
No I don’t want to feel it anymore,
Cuz when I smell it yea I think of you,
And all that we’ve been through.
No, we will never get married.
All your lies became my fantasies.
And when you said goodbye,
You took the blindfold off my eyes.
So no more coffee when the morning comes,
And I won’t love you till the day is done.
Cuz when I smell it yea I think of you,
And all that we’ve been through.
So no more coffee to awake my soul,
No I don’t want to feel it anymore,
Cuz when I smell it yea I think of you,
And all that we’ve been through.
We were supposed to get married,
With a few dogs, maybe a baby.
But then you said goodbye,
And I still don’t know why.

In The Middle

I wish I could tell you you’re the love of my life,
But I gave my heart to the one before.
And he loved me so tender,
He loved me so strong.
Took me with him when he walked out the door.
I wish I could give you all the parts of me,
But he broke them all, and now there’s nothing left.
So I stand here before you, just a bruised and battered soul.
But I promise I’ll still give my best.
So baby won’t you meet me in the middle,
And settle for this life?
Because a little bit of happiness is better than nothing right?
We could have it all, the white picket fence,
And a porch where we could watch the sun rise.
I promise to never mention his name,
Though it’s him I see in your eyes.
So baby won’t you meet me in the middle,
And settle for this life?
Because a little bit of happiness is better than nothing right?
So baby won’t you meet me in the middle,
And settle for this life?
Because a little bit of happiness is better than nothing right?

The Mountains

I never was a duchess,
Not fit to be a wife.
I’m better on my own then this conventional life.
So I’m going to the mountains,
Where the air is clear,
Where there’s no one else for miles,
No one to hear my fears.
I’m going to the mountains where I can build a home,
Where I can be alone.
I failed as a lover,
I’m just an average friend.
But when I leave this earth will they say remember when?
Will I have done enough to leave my mark?
Oh, I’m going to the mountains for a brand new start.
I’m going to the mountains,
Where the air is clear,
Where there’s no one else for miles,
No one to hear my fears.
I’m going to the mountains where I can build a home,
Where I can be alone.
Poison in my veins,
No doctor can prescribe.
No cure for what ails me,
So please don’t even try.
I’m going to the mountains where I can build a home,
Where I can be alone.
Where I can be alone.
