I still remember the happy rains

That drenched my face as we were ankle deep

In our teenage love story puddles

(Rainbow bubbles floating in the shape of hearts from me to you)

My fingers wrinkled and childish wrapped through yours

So much trust, so much ammo to kill me from the inside out

So much trust invested into you.


So what do I do after all of this?

Pretend my feelings don’t exist?

Play ignorant until the day fades

Live in the darkness of the sun’s shade.


I’ll run with you, run faster, let’s make the splash

Tidal waves for you, just you, just you.

Earthquakes full of tremors in my bruised heart

And all I want to do is go home, baby.

Let’s go home together, baby.


Feed me your white lies until I lose sight of tomorrow

Scream to me your fake ILoveYou's until I stop crying

Then leave me when I finally forget what life was like

Before you came crashing into my atmosphere.

Sing me a song babe, play me like your guitar babe,

I just want to sleep from tomorrow till there are no

Millenia, Centuries, Decades, Years, Seasons, Months, Weeks, Days, Minutes, Seconds, Moments

Left to hurt me.

10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1

Breathe baby Breathe baby


All I had was love to burn for you

So much to handle, plenty to give away

I need some distance between my heart and my head

( P.S. You’ve hurt both so bad that’s all either can beat/think about. )


News Flash :

Cloud Nine has officially begun to rain

and there’s a bad moon rising ladies and gents

Get yourself buckled in and prepare for the ride

Because it’s a helluva one to survive.


It’s hard when Earth decides to stop dead in its tracks though

It’s hard when Love decides to stop when the other’s still burning

So hear I am leaking my crimson red blood for you

(eat your heart out baby.)


So what do I do after all of this?

Pretend my feelings don’t exist?

Play ignorant until the day fades

Living in the darkness of the sun’s shade.


Your paisley eyes with their yellows and blues

Dancing and playing in their own good days

( Still hitting me where it hurts ) Good Aim, Good Shot, Babe.

When the flame in your eyes finally burned out

Leaving me in the darkness around the sun

The black of love and lost

P.S. I loved you. Stupid, Stupid Me..
