Color of My Eyes

You wrote a song about the color of my eyes,
The lyrics painting their exact shade of green and blue.
My approval was the long awaited prize,
One that I was holding out from you.
Your constant fear of loneliness is your greatest vice,
And it looks real nice with my insecurity.
You took my broken spirit, didn't need to think twice,
But the price is that I'd yearn to be free.
We keep hanging on, and we'll fall apart before too long,
'Cause it's wrong to keep you here by my side.
"You know you're beautiful" you said the other day,
As I remained trapped in that dark disease.
I wait for you to change your mind and run the other way,
But you stay, knowing well I'll never be pleased.
So, try and try, as my heart keeps passing you by.
There ain't nothing we can do, if I stay trapped here with you.

Breathe Into Me

A secret smile on your face,
Dreaming private dreams.
Just let me in your simple space,
For it truly seems
I've found a haven, oh I've found a haven,
In your bed.
So breathe into me.
Let's forget who we are, and who we will be.
Just breathe into me,
Until tomorrow comes.
Let's just be.
I don't need to know just what you think,
Nor what you do and why,
Just promise me that I can drink in
Your every sigh,
As you help me forget, oh you help me forget
All of today.
Intoxicate me with your every caress.
One day it'll end, but nevertheless,
Oh, being with you, yeah I must confess,
It's simply lovely.
So breathe into me.
Let's forget who we are, and who we will be.
Just breathe into me,
Until tomorrow comes.
Oh, breathe into me.
Oh make me forget what tomorrow will be.
Breathe into me,
until the morning comes.

Whatever you will give me,
I'll take whatever you will give me.
I want all of you, but if only a bit will do,
I'll take that too.
However I can get to you,
I'll do whatever I got to do.
I want you now and here, although you my dear
Made me the fool.
I know that your heart's not there,
But I want you so bad, yeah, I don't care.
I know that you've got another,
And at best you could be my reluctant lover.
I wish that you could see,
Just how tragic this is for me.
But until I'm free, I will be here, waiting for...
Oh I'm addicted to the pain
Of hearing you strain when you say my name.
That desperation upon your face
Is what keeps me coming back for another embrace.
Oh, aint it just so wrong,
That I can't be smart and say "so long."
So I'll just write this song, and keep on waiting for...
Sometimes you say encouraging words,
But I know in my heart they are just absurd.
They keep me, keep me hanging on.
They keep me from ever, ever moving on.
Why can't you just decide that for once,
You aint gonna run and hide.
Why must I confide that I will wait here for...
Although it's crystal clear that to you I'm just a fool.

Homesickness

Spinning cycles through smoggy air
Eyelids heavy, laden with memories of where
I left my heart and my sanity.
Now I remain barely sane.
In the same rhythm of
Desperate emptiness and lonesome familiarity.
Where did that girl with the never-waning smile go?
Can't stop spinning, spinning. Take me home to where
I left my heart and my sanity.
Now I remain barely sane.
In the same rhythm of
Desperate emptiness and lonesome familiarity.
Trapped between a scene of feeling too much and nothing at all (all).
Help me please, oh please, how far down can I fall
'Til I find my sanity?
Now I remain barely sane.
In the same rhythm of
Desperate emptiness and lonesome familiarity.
