Walking Away

10/24/2010

i let you say your peace
now won’t you give me mine please
i never uttered a bad word
i never let my hard freeze over
turn your ear to me
let me say what i need to say now
your thoughts fall on me fiercely
but i will love you anyhow

i am walking away
i am walking away
you can choose to stay here
but i am walking away

yes i caught you off guard
and i caught myself red-handed
but you weren’t the only broken heart
how could i have known
how could i have planned it
turn your ear to me
let me say what I need to say
i am setting you free
by walking away

Wear it Well

you were fabric to me but not just material
warm to me, formed to me, like favorite jeans
but clothes you keep wearing start ripping and tearing
eventually everything bursts at the seems

i keep finding you in the fabric of me
the look, the touch, the smell
our love is unraveling, but baby i wear it so well

you were tragic to me like a pen in the laundry
with your subtle explosion a part of me dyed
my pockets were empty, you caused quite the quandary
do you mind telling me where you managed to hide

i keep finding you in the fabric of me
the look, the touch, the smell
your love is a stain, but baby i wear it so well

Who Needs to Be Happy Anway?

go fuck yourself, you scream through the line
and all i can think is i haven't heard your voice in such a long time
i hope she hurts you just like you hurt me
she's gonna rip out your heart, make you feel unworthy

and when she does, don't come running back
cause this time i won't let you get away
you don't have to love me back
who needs to be happy anyway?

i'm by myself, you cry through your tears
i never let anybody else in, it's lonely in here
you broke my trust, i'll never believe you
you're gonna get what you deserve, you're gonna get yours
you know she will leave you

Whatever This Ain't

put my hands in your hair
man i swear i heard you purr
now i see foolishly
you don’t care whose hands they were
all those times your unkindness
made me feel less than less
washed a way with one whisper of your sleepy breath on my neck

i’ll put whatever this is out of its sad little misery
i’ll throw a new coat of paint over whatever this ain’t
i’ll put to rest any hopes for the best, given our sad little history
stop beating this horse, cause it’s dead and divorced
and get on with my life for a change

i was sharp, pushed too far
you were flat, holding back
out of time, out of key
what a waste of a melody
it’s the end now and i’ll grieve
but i prefer this to another reprieve

What Am I?

it was par for the course
put my cart before the horse
put my eggs in one basket and counted before they hatched

it was head over feet
tried to make something sweet
turned the oven too hot, forgot, burned the whole damn batch

what am i if i’m not tired?
what am i if i’m not enough?
what am i if i’m not wired my whole life
to try and find someone to love?

it was run of the mill
fell asleep at the wheel
shit got crooked i looked so stupid with my bare hands

now i am a bundle of nerves
and i’m fighting the urge
to make like an ostrich and bury my hand in the sand

Wall of Feathers

i put up a wall of feathers
so it's so easy for you to break it down
i filled up a suitcase of nevers
no longer a word now, never's just a sound

i must like the pain of together
much more than the fear of being apart
sometimes i feel like a broken record
over over again and again and again stop breaking my heart
stop breaking my heart, stop breaking my heart

oh, a wind will blow
knock down our home
feathers will fly, and i'll wonder why
i never built with stone

i put on my pi's and your sweater
cause baby these days that's about as close as i get to you
i think of the good days when things were better
i think of the new ways that i could get through

i put down my weapons and surrendor
each new day beckons a clean slate
and if i kept them i would just remember
why it was i picked them up in the first place

What If?

no one wants to be a captain
of a sorry sinking ship
cause when it starts to sink, you think
do i gotta go down with it?

no one wants to be the bearer
of incredibly bad news
cause when you’re the one dropping the bomb
you’ve got everything to lose

what if three years turns into thirty-something?
what if all you got was a whole lot of nothing?
what if thirty-something turns into three kids?
and you screw ‘em up just like your parents did?

no one wants to be the writer
of a book that’s never read
all those words once full of life
may as well be dead

no one wants to be the bad guy, baby
wouldn’t you agree?
honey you’re so good, i guess
the bad guy’s gotta be me
