I made you a song

I made you a song
but you'll never know
what the lyrics mean
or how the chorus goes

I made you a song
but I don't think I'll show you
I made you a song
back when I used to know you.

I made you a song,
it has a catchy beat
they'll clap their hands
some might stomp their feet

These people, they'll enjoy it,
but they won't know what it means
These people, they'll enjoy it,
but only for what it seems.

Give me your ears

I don't want your heart, 
I just want your ears.

I don't want your troubles,
but I'll catch every tear.

I don't want your lips,
though I'll listen to all they say.

I don't want your hands to hold,
but I'll warm then on your coldest day.

Dear, it took so long just to feel alright

I know I can't take one more step towards you
Cause all that's waiting is regret
And don't you know I'm not your ghost anymore
You lost the love I loved the most

I learned to live half alive
And now you want me one more time

And who do you think you are
Running 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Who do you think you are?


I hear you're asking all around
If I am anywhere to be found
But I have grown too strong
To ever fall back in your arms

Dear, it took so long just to feel alright
Remember how to put back the light in my eyes
I wish I had missed the first time that we kissed
Cause you broke all your promises
And now you're back
You don't get to get me back

And who do you think you are
Running 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
Don't come back for me
Don't come back at all
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?

An angel's smile is what you sell

Shot through the heart and you're to blame
Darlin' you give love a bad name

An angel's smile is what you sell
You promise him heaven then put him through hell
Chains of love got a hold on him
When passion's a prison you can't break free

Oh! You're a loaded gun, yeah
Oh! There's nowhere to run
No one can save him
The damage is done

Shot through the heart and you're to blame
You give love a bad name
(Bad name)
He played his part and you played your game
You give love a bad name
(Bad name)
Hey, you give love a bad name

Tumblr - Day 24

Day 24:
A letter to your parents.

Hey parental units. I've been putting this off for a while.
But I think it's a pretty appropriate time for this letter.
I'm not going to say everything on my mind.. but I'll summarize.  
I have recently realized that there's too many times I take for granted all the love I have for each of you.
Through the good times and the bad,
you guys will always be there for me.
I will never have nothing to come back to. 
I really want you each to know that I love you both.
No matter what.
After everything is said and done,
you are my mother and father.
No one will ever replace you two.
..
I want both of you to be happy.
Your happiness is my happiness.
Do what your heart is telling you.
No matter what, I'll always love you.

Now and forever.
