When I'm the small fish in the big fish bowl,
And I've got nowhere to go but home,
When the world is watching my every move,
I'll find you.
When I scream alone into the dark,
Lying motionless, taunted by my heart,
When I'm alone inside a crowded room,
I'll find you.
When the waves fall and crash at my feet,
When I fall and crash down upon my knees,
When no one can hear my cries,
Not even me,
That's when I need to find just what I need.
When the stars go out, and I can't find
Everything that I want to call mine,
When I can't make sense of anything,
I see you.
When my heart goes out and breaks apart,
When I reach the end before I even start,
When I dial the number just to hang up the phone,
I need you.
When the waves fall and crash at my feet,
When I fall and crash down upon my knees,
When no one can hear my cries,
Not even me,
That's when I need to find just what I need.
And I don't know where you are tonight.
And I'd probably give up long before I tried
To find you.
God I miss you.
When the waves fall and crash at my feet,
When I fall and crash down upon my knees,
When no one can hear my cries,
Not even me,
That's when I need to find what I need.
When you look up to the stars and can't find
Anything that you left behind,
When no one can your cries,
You'll find me.
Little lies have kept me,
But now I'm leaving.

You Were Right
I'm the smoke that's dancing from the tip of that cigarette.
You're nothing more to me than my first regret.
I should forget. But I can't forget.
I haven't gained that strength just yet.
I will forget.
Smoke your cigarette.
I'm the melody that's playing from that violin.
I think about you from time to time, now and then.
But don't deceive. You don't need me.
I don't need you. I don't need a thing.
Now and then,
I don't forget.
Smoke your cigarette.
Lies you told her,
and now you hold her.
And I'm still one big mess.
You're laughing at me,
But I'm laughing at you.
I must confess.
You were right, I was wrong.
I didn't after need you after all.
Losing you wasn't the worst thing, I could do.
You were right, it was my fault
for believing you for so long.
You told me what to do.
I'm the lie that slips between your lips when you pull her close.
You're the tragedy I seek to get my chorus to close.
But you don't see, what you did for me.
You won't forget, how's that cigarette?
You were right, I was wrong.
I didn't need you after all.
Losing you wasn't the worst thing, I could do.
You were right, it was my fault
for believing you for so long.
You told me what to do.
I was right, it was all wrong.
But you wanted it prolonged.
Losing me, never changed a thing to you.
You were right, I was wrong.
I didn’t need you after all.
Losing you was the best thing, I could do.
Losing you was all that I could do.
I’m the heartbreak that you’ll feel when the time is right.
The victim always sees their doers flame ignite.
Just hold her tight. Close your eyes tonight.
Don’t you ever forget.
Light that cigarette.
You're nothing more to me than my first regret.
I should forget. But I can't forget.
I haven't gained that strength just yet.
I will forget.
Smoke your cigarette.
I'm the melody that's playing from that violin.
I think about you from time to time, now and then.
But don't deceive. You don't need me.
I don't need you. I don't need a thing.

Don’t you ever forget.
Light that cigarette.
When You're Sober
You’re running low on whiskey
While I’m running low on faith.
I can’t take much more,
And you can read it on my face.
I know you’re staring through me,
I can see it in your gaze,
Fixed on the crack in the mirror.
We all get replaced.
Now you’re down to your last drag,
And I’m hanging around.
I should be heading back,
But I can’t turn around.
It’s like the door has vanished,
And I’m not even panicked.
Let’s go back to bed
And pick up with what we’re good at.
We’ll talk this over when you’re sober,
When I let you in, when I can breathe again.
We’ll talk about it later when something starts making sense.
So turn the lights out,
And hide beneath the covers,
And hang onto each other,
And leave this place.
Dreams are hard to follow
And bottles always break.
Can I ask you for a favor
That’s not just for a rainy day?
I need to be saved anyway.
We can help each other--
Give and then take.
Welcome mistakes
And risk another heartbreak.
But we’ll talk about it later when the glass hits the table
And the headaches have passed
And the dizziness is stable.
So turn the lights out,
And hide beneath the covers,
And hang onto each other,
And leave this place.
Laying in the lazy afternoon’s sun light,
Staring back into your Laguna eyes.
I think we found the answer.
It came as really no surprise.
The bottle is in the trash.
And my heart’s not so cold.
The boy and girl will last.
So the story is told.
No wonderland, no fantasy.
No kingdom, just you and me.
So turn the lights out.
And hide beneath the covers.
And hang onto each other.
And leave this place.
The crack in the mirror
Just meant that it needed replaced.
What do you say?
But we’ll talk this over when you’re sober.
While I’m running low on faith.
I can’t take much more,
And you can read it on my face.
I know you’re staring through me,
I can see it in your gaze,
Fixed on the crack in the mirror.
We all get replaced.

Hey, Baby
Hey, Baby, I am a girl who’s never been so gone or so wrong.
He is just one heart break with a million love songs.
Someday, maybe you could be the you to “you and me.”
He is just one heart break with a million love songs.
Someday, maybe you could be the you to “you and me.”
Give me, just a little time,
Just a little time to unwind.
Hey, Baby, just look me in the eye
And know it’s going to be alright.
Just give me a little—time—
Just a little time to unwind.
Hey, Baby, just look me in the eye
And know it’s going to be alright.
Just give me a little—time—
Is ticking. It’s taking its sweet time.
Your silence from the other room mocks my cries.
Just get up,
Shut up,
And listen to me.
I’m trying,
I want to.
Please believe me.

I want you by my side. I’m going.
I’m falling. Always falling.
Hey, Baby. I am a girl who’s never been so gone or so wrong.
Hey, Baby, you’ve got your first love song.
Give me, just a little time,
Just a little time to unwind.

Going
There won't be a letter.
There won't be a single tear.
There won't be a goodbye
When I choose to leave here.
There won't be a single tear.
There won't be a goodbye
When I choose to leave here.
It's not like you
Would miss me if i do.
So there won't be a letter
Addressed to you.
So there won't be a letter
Addressed to you.
Oh-
I've got the right to just disappear.
Oh-
Get on out of here.
So I'm going.
Oh-
Get on out of here.
So I'm going.
There won't be a blue sky
That fades to gray.
There won't be a "Why did I,
When it was going so great?"
There won't be a "Why did I,
When it was going so great?"
It's not like you
Were ever going to change.
There won't be a letter
Describing pain.
Were ever going to change.
There won't be a letter
Describing pain.
Oh-
I've got the right to just disappear.
Oh-
Get on out of here.
So I'm going.
You should have seen it coming.
I've got the right to just disappear.
Oh-
Get on out of here.
So I'm going.
You should have seen it coming.
Don't write me a letter.
Don't cry me a single tear.
Don't tell me you miss me
Not being here.
Don't cry me a single tear.
Don't tell me you miss me
Not being here.
It's not like you
Will be lonely for long.
Keep your thoughts to yourself.
I'm already gone.
Oh-
I've got the right to just disappear.
Oh-
Get on out of here.
So I'm going.
I've got the right to just disappear.
Oh-
Get on out of here.
So I'm going.
Oh-
I chose to disappear.
Oh-
Get the Hell out of here.
So I'm going.
You should have seen it coming.
Now you can see me going.
I chose to disappear.
Oh-
Get the Hell out of here.
So I'm going.
You should have seen it coming.
Now you can see me going.

I'm Yours
I loved you first,
Beneath sheets of paper.
It was just a verse,
But it was all I could come up with.
Beneath sheets of paper.
It was just a verse,
But it was all I could come up with.
I graced your hand,
Grabbed my pen,
and wrote what was in my heart.
"I felt a spark."
It was the best that I came up with.
And I don't know how I got to be this far,
Running in circles, finding my way through the dark.
Then there's the spark, and I can finally see:
You're the light to me, the light that I've been missing.
So never leave, me.
Never fear me.
Never distrust me, because I'm yours.
I love you now,
Beneath the sheets.
For what it's worth,
It's everything that I thought that it could be.
I graced your hand.
I let you in, to my bruised and battered heart.
I let you see everything that I'm missing.
And I don't know how I got so far
Running in circles, stumbling my way through the shadows of my heart,
without losing me, self-destructing.
You're the light that I needed.
So never leave, me.
Never fear me.
Never distrust me, because I'm yours.
Never pardon me.
No apologies,
I'm just being me. And I'm yours.
I'm yours.
Never leave me.
Never fear me.
Never pardon me.
I'm yours.
I loved you first,
Beneath sheets of paper.
For what it's worth,
It is everything I thought that it could be.
I felt a spark, from a verse, from a sound, from a look.
And now I'm yours.
I'm yours.

Easy Time Gone
Someday, I'll think of the words that I should say
Long before I realize it's too late
To say them.
Last night, I had a dream everything was fine.
It's been a long time since I've been alright.
I can't take it.
Honestly, I'm faking.
Don't know what to do when my heart isn't breaking.
And I don't know how long I can keep this up,
Making these feelings up.
I don't know what to say anymore.
I don't care anymore,
And I'm giving up.
I'm not crying, because I'm all alone.
I'm not dying, because I wasn't the one.
I'm not looking for anyone.
It's been a long time coming but an easy time gone.
Nightfall, hopeful there will be no pain.
But disappointment knows me by my first name.
And I can't escape.
But daybreak, the makeup is off my face.
As for heartbreak, I think I've simmered the ache.
I can breathe again.
Honestly, I'm broken.
The web of lies I tell myself is woven.
And I don't know how long I can keep this up,
Making these feelings up.
I don't know what to say anymore.
I don't care anymore,
And I'm giving up.
I'm not crying, because I'm all alone.
I'm not dying, because I wasn't the one.
I'm not looking for anyone.
It's been a long time coming but an easy time gone.
And I don't know why I ever let you get to me.
I let you take the best of me.
But now I know that my heart is stone.
I can't let it go, so I'll let it show.
Call me wrong and call me crazy.
But I will never call you Baby.
If you come around, you won't break me down.
Maybe a year or two, someone could save me.
But this is how I feel right now.
And I don't know how long I can keep this up,
Making these feelings up.
And I don't what to say anymore.
I don't feel anything anymore.

Not A Love Song
I’m sitting by the telephone,
waiting for a call I know will never come.
I’m all alone inside my head,
staring at the place you used to lie, in my bed.
It’s not the same without you here.
But don’t feel flattered,
I do not miss you, my dear.
I’m consumed with asking why.
The question’s been lingering in my mind.
It’s been months since our last good-bye.
I hope there’s never a new hello.
So I lay down and close my eyes.
Lights out, head on pillow.
I’m better off, now, that you’re gone.
I’m empty, but not for long.
I always was a kind of strong.
You kind of have to be
if you’re trying to get along.
In this world, I do belong.
In your heart, was always a different song.
One that’s full of so much hate.
You drug me down,
and I had more than I could ever take.
How much work does it entail
to rip the pages of every love fairy tale?
I tried hard to make it all fit right.
lost myself instead.
It took strength to finally end that fight.
But you best believe I did.
I did.
I’m better off, now, that you’re gone.
I’m empty, but not for long.
Your voice stays in my head, it’s my song.
Not a love song.
Not a love song.
I would have done just anything
to take your heart and make it feel the same.
But that was months and months ago.
Today I feel a little differently…so,
Here is my farewell to you:
Go ahead and do what you do.
You’re a boy who won’t be changed.
My heart, the remains, it’s a shame.
I’m better of, now, that you’re gone.
I’m empty, but not for long.
Not for long.
Your voice stays in my head, it’s my song.
Not a love song.
Not love song.
Get it off of my chest song.
I’m finally gone song.
Feels so good to be gone song.
Not a love song.
Not a love song.
Not a love song.
It’s been months since our last good-bye.
I hope there’s never a new hello.
Lights out, head on pillow.

Nightmare
Just for a minute, you thought I was no where,
No where to be found.
A couple months ago I would have been dying,
Just to hang around.
Yeah.
You're alright, in thinking there's no way
I'll ever be back.
I'm alright, I'm wasting the day away
Thinking of all you lacked.
So when you're reminiscing,
and it's me you to start to missin',
don't think I'm gonna pick up the phone.
When you realize that maybe I wasn't to blame,
I'll already be gone.
Hey, oh.
Just for a minute, you thought I was no where,
No where to be found.
But when you close your eyes, baby, you know that
I'm always around.
I'm always lurking in the shadows of all your mistakes,
the silly games you play, the smiles you fake.
I'm sitting around the corner of every heart you break.
Hey, oh.
Just when you thought I was gone forever,
I'll be your nightmare forever.
Just for a minute, you thought I was no where,
No where in sight.
A couple months months ago, I would have gone anywhere
Just to end a fight.
Yeah.
You're alright, in thinking I'm outta here.
Honey, you're always right.
I'm alright, I'm just wasting the day away.
I'm used to wasting my time anyway.
Just for a minute, you thought I was no where,
No where to be found.
But when you close your eyes, baby, you know that
I'm always around.
I'm always lurking in the shadows of all your mistakes,
the silly games you play, the smiles you fake.
I'm sitting around the corner of every heart you break.
Hey, oh.
Just when you thought I was gone forever,
I'll be your nightmare forever.
See me when you're looking at every single one of them.
Feel me when you're feeling every single one of them.
Don't you come around.
I'm out of sight.
Don't you make a sound.
I'm out of sight.
You told me I'd never leave,
well tell me,
What do you think of, what you do think of me now?
I'm not that pretty little quiet girl you used to push down.
You ripped my heart to pieces and left,
but now I'm coming back, I'm coming back around.
Just for a minute, you thought I was no where.
No where to be found.
But when you close your eyes, baby, you know that
I'm always around.
I'm always lurking in the shadows of all your mistakes,
the silly games you play, the smiles you fake.
I'm sitting around the corner of every heart you break.
Every heart you break.
Just for a minute, you thought I was no where.
No where to be found.
But when you close your eyes, baby, you know that
I'm always around.
I'm always lurking in the shadows of all your mistakes,
the silly games you play, the smiles you fake.
I'm sitting around the corner of every heart you break.

I'll be your nightmare forever.

I'm always lurking in the shadows of all your mistakes,
the silly games you play, the smiles you fake.
I'm sitting around the corner of every heart you break.
Hey, oh.
Just when you thought I was gone forever,
I'll be your nightmare forever.
Just for a minute, you thought I was no where,
No where in sight.
A couple months months ago, I would have gone anywhere
Just to end a fight.
Yeah.
You're alright, in thinking I'm outta here.
Honey, you're always right.
I'm alright, I'm just wasting the day away.
I'm used to wasting my time anyway.
Just for a minute, you thought I was no where,
No where to be found.
But when you close your eyes, baby, you know that
I'm always around.
I'm always lurking in the shadows of all your mistakes,
the silly games you play, the smiles you fake.
I'm sitting around the corner of every heart you break.
Hey, oh.
Just when you thought I was gone forever,
I'll be your nightmare forever.
See me when you're looking at every single one of them.
Feel me when you're feeling every single one of them.
Don't you come around.
I'm out of sight.
Don't you make a sound.
I'm out of sight.
You told me I'd never leave,
well tell me,
What do you think of, what you do think of me now?
I'm not that pretty little quiet girl you used to push down.
You ripped my heart to pieces and left,
but now I'm coming back, I'm coming back around.
Just for a minute, you thought I was no where.
No where to be found.
But when you close your eyes, baby, you know that
I'm always around.
I'm always lurking in the shadows of all your mistakes,
the silly games you play, the smiles you fake.
I'm sitting around the corner of every heart you break.
Every heart you break.
Just for a minute, you thought I was no where.
No where to be found.
But when you close your eyes, baby, you know that
I'm always around.
I'm always lurking in the shadows of all your mistakes,
the silly games you play, the smiles you fake.
I'm sitting around the corner of every heart you break.
Hey, oh.
Just when you thought I was gone forever,
I'll be your nightmare forever.
Just when you thought I was gone forever,
I'll be your nightmare forever
Silly Girl
Silly girl,
Standing in front of the mirror saying:
"Silly girl. What have you done?
Silly girl, wipe the tears off your cheek now.
Silly girl, you haven't lost; you haven't won."
He was a silly boy.
Don't be so down about it.
Just a silly boy,
you'll meet plenty more of those.
Don't let a silly boy
define anything you can be.
Tell the silly boy,
"You may have clipped my wings,
You may have pushed down,
But I'll still fly."
The sun is shining outside,
And the birds are singing their tune.
The flowers are blooming in the yard,
And the fire's burning you.
Silly girl is admitting everything she knew.
Silly girl is letting go of you
With a couple friends
And a couple drinks.
This is just what Silly Girl thinks.
He was a silly boy.
Don't be so down about it.
Just a silly boy.
You'll meet plenty more of those

Other Mistakes
You and me, we're too big now,
Too big now for our town.
10 thousand tired people
Watched as we tumbled down.
I can't keep seeing you,
And you can't keep watching me.
If we're both settled here,
You'll start your missing me.
This isn't giving up.
This isn't giving in.
This selfish heart you left me
Would never let you win.
I've got to leave this place,
Run so far away,
Pretend I never knew you,
Learn from my mistake.
When the summer ends, I'll be gone--
A few hours away on my own.
And I won't come back here to you
Like they want and expect me to do.
When the autumn comes, I'll be gone--
That heartache you gave, I forgot.
And I won't come back to this place,
I've got other mistakes to make.
The sun is coming up now,
Rising from the East.
I'm staring through my window.
I'm fine, to say the least.
I haven't cried a tear drop.
I haven't had that dream
where you're smiling at me,
Then put your hands on me.
I have my weaker moments,
And I can hardly breathe.
I reach out to touch you.
Do you think of me?
But I will never write you.
I will never break.
10 thousand people can't be wrong.
You were my first mistake.
When the day comes, I will be gone--
A few states away, on my own.
And I won't come back here to you
Like my heart sometimes wants to do.
When that spring comes, I will be gone--
That heartache you gave, I forgot.
And I won't go back to that place,
I've got other mistakes to make.
I've got other roads to travel.
I've got other ropes to unravel.
I've got other tears to cry.
And I've got plenty of time.
This isn't giving up.
This isn't giving in.
This selfish heart you left me
Would never let you win.
I've got to leave this place,
Run so far away,
Pretend I never knew you,
Learn from my mistake.
When the summer ends, I'll be gone--
A few hours away on my own.
And I won't come back here to you.
I won't come back to this place.
I've got other mistakes to make.

Over the past 2 or so years, I've put together a pretty interesting blog on Tumblr that I love keeping up with. I love blogging. I just like expressing myself in a way where there usually is no judgement, and I can be uncensored if I choose to be.
Since I've acquired this taste for blogging and have begun to take lyric writing a little more seriously, I've decided to create this one specifically to house my original lyrics and any news regarding progress. That's it. This isn't a blog for quotes and music links, just lyrics and personal news dealing with them. And just a side note: not all of these lyrics are going to be amazing. I'm an 18 year old who really is just putting my feelings into a poem, so excuse any silliness or below par songs.
Also, I can't say how often this will be updated. That all depends on how quickly I'm putting lyrics together. Sometimes I can get 2 or 3 good ones in a week or two. Other times, I have month long slumps. So pardon any gaps in updates.
