Daddy
You wanna talk about disrespect?
How about neglect?
How about all your gripping choices like hands around my neck?
How about every itty bitty little lie you've told
The words you use to mold
To hold on to the past
And now I'm passing the class
The one where we're told how to kick an-
But I'll remember you when I graduate
'cause I'll use my education and then
I'll change the retaliation that I give
I won't stoop low, like you do
To show off, and blow off comments,
And then "hold off on your violence"
Well you don't.
Actually, matter o factly,
You're kinda acting strange
Like you're deranged.
But I guess it's just your way
To make me pay
I'm done with debt to you,
Ain't got no more fees due,
I won't give in even if you've got a noose
Tied around my neck
And then you'll check
With your girlfriend and her ex
If it's legal or not
I'm really tired of all of your hate
Makes me want to disintegrate
Everything you gave me
Do you hate me?
Do you realize that deep in your eyes,
I can see the skies
And they're black as night
You won't find what's right
Because you always do what's wrong
In fact if you knew the difference
I wouldn't be hurting for so long
I'd be dancing in the rain and learning all of my moves
I'd be a better person, capable of getting over you
And yet you scream, you bash,
You treat me like I'm trash
You make me feel like all I can do is spend your cash
Yet you deny the possibility
I'm trying to create something better for the both of us
You think it's hate
But it's not
Your efforts aren't too late
And that's not something I can reiterate
I'm tired of the lies,
I'm tired of the games,
You better get your crap together
Because I'm going insane
Let me go back to the dad I had who didn't make me angry
Who didn't lie and curse
Who knew that a man carries a case
And not a purse
Who knew that his children loved him
No. Instead of a man I see someone who's stuck hiding low
You need to know
This isn't about you or me
It's about all of our other possibilities
You had a chance
You had it twice,
You acted vile instead of with sugar and spice.
Now deal with the price you've delivered to me
Cause now you've gotta take it back
And you're blaming the fees
Don't deny yourself from love
From your precious kids
Get your life together and then good life to you I bid
From now on, grow up and be a man
Have a better mindset and an action plan
Don't be blaming everything on everyone else.
Take some bitter advice: go work on yourself
(My favorite four lines are the last four)
Alone
Walking home, alone. Drunken breath, rest.
Feeling like a mess. Hands pull up my dress.
Phone's lost, keys gone.
Been walking for so long.
Can't find home.
To what do I owe him?
Everybody's got somebody
But I have no one at all
When they're dancing two by two,
No one to catch me when I fall
Keep on tying knots
On this rope I'm trying to pull
Gotta get the beat right
Or I'll end up a fool.
*Chorus*
So tell me what you think of me tonight
Did i do the right thing when we fight?
How many times do we have to say these words
I know you want her, I know you want her
But, I'm a sinking ship in the ocean
Smuggling a love potion
Down my throat it goes
And now I'm on my own.
My own, own own
Follow home, home, home.. alone.
Breathing hazy, lazy. Seeing stars afar.
Careening towards the lamp. Finding comfort in a map.
Hearts broke, muse dead.
Been hoping for my bed.
Can't find rest.
To what do I owe him?
Nobody has myself
I have no one at all, at all
When they're gathering together
They stand to watch me fall
Keep on dancing through the rain
To this rhythm in my heart
Gotta get the beat right.
Or I'll fall apart.
Chorus
Find door, still poor. Restless face, safe.
Leaning quietly into wood
Soul left, thoughts die
Beginning to cry
To what do I owe him?
Left completely alone.
I have no one at all
Strangers left the streets
Drunk and have to crawl
Keep on sitting in the dark
Listen to silence around
Silence is a beat, right?
My broken wings take flight
Chorus
Alone shattered on the floor...
No one loves me anymore...
This next one was written for my ex, because I still love him. Our song was "Chasing Cars" by Snow Patrol
Maybe we'll be Counting Stars,
Baby we'll be Chasing Cars,
I've searched so hard
Never found a love like ours
You shouldn't have to feel the way you do
You shouldn't have to hide the truth
It doesn't matter if it's black or blue,
I want you to know that I love you
I don't know what to do
I'm still stuck here, alone
Crying on my own, lying
Don't really want to stay home
And yet with you there on the phone
Someone finally cares...
You are my cure for despair
My made up panacea
My freedom from Oogygia
I'm always going to need ya
You're my way, my road, my light
You're helping me to win this fight
You open my wings so I can take flight...
All of these things you do feel so right
Please don't leave my side...
Because i fear that I am dying...
And I would still be lying
If I said I don't love you
Cause I do, it's so true
You are everything to me
When I'm lost, with you i can see
Our lives are intertwirled,
Would you lie with me
And just forget the world?
You wanna talk about disrespect?
How about neglect?
How about all your gripping choices like hands around my neck?
How about every itty bitty little lie you've told
The words you use to mold
