Crazy

It's getting colder inside
As the fire burns brighter
In your eyes
We're slowly getting closer
As we stare into the horizon
But in your mind
Your thoughts are a jumble
And you're picking up the pieces
While we're still alive
You're wondering
If this is the right time
The candle is flickering and I'm staring, hoping we won't be kept apart
The next time I see you I'll tell you the truths I've been holding deep inside my heart
I wonder if you'll believe the words I'm speaking, tumbling from my mouth
I know it seems crazy, but maybe
You're in another room
But it might as well be an island
That I can't find
Darkness is closing in
And I can barely see your outline
But I can feel your skin
So many things to do
But I'll focus on this moment
While the lights go dim
You're wondering
If this is the right time
The candle is flickering and I'm staring, hoping we won't be kept apart
The next time I see you I'll tell you the truths I've been holding deep inside my heart
I wonder if you'll believe the words I'm speaking, tumbling from my mouth
I know it seems crazy, but maybe you and me
Can we solve this mystery
There's a lot going on but we're moving in slow motion
A bit tough right now, but it's something to believe in
Love
The candle is flickering and I'm staring, hoping we won't be kept apart
The next time I see you I'll tell you the truths I've been holding deep inside my heart
I wonder if you'll believe the words I'm speaking, tumbling from my mouth
I know it seems crazy, but maybe...

Becoming Fine

I never thought
There'd be a last time
For something like this
Only yesterday
It was sunshine
But then rain clouds
Came in and blew it all away
I'm becoming fine
It'll take some time
I wanted one more line
But I didn't want to say goodbye
Like this
I never planned
To walk away
With my arms up straight
Holding blades at bay
But here it is happening to me
To me
And I don't know what to say
I'm becoming fine
It'll take some time
I wanted one more line
But I didn't want to say goodbye
Like this
I didn't want to go
To watch it go up in waves
Of blue and gray
Glasses misty from the spray
As our memories go tumbling down wrapped in pain
Gone astray
I'm becoming fine
It'll take some time
I wanted one more line
But I didn't want to say
I'm becoming fine
Despite what's in your mind
It's not hard to find
But I didn't want to say goodbye
Like this

Broken Melodies

Married now for eighteen hours
But can you take another hour
Of living in the memory
Of what she used to be
Standing closely next to him
As you hide behind your grin
Your mind's a jumble, you fumble, and mumble
As you think to yourself
Is this the right thing?
You smile and shake another hand
Pretending this is what you planned
Is this the beginning of the end
Or were you better off as friends
That's your debilitating curse
You always seem to think the worst
Never jumping in head first
But your mind's about to burst
"Is this all I have to give
Is that really what I win
Did I know that jumping in
Or did I miss a warning sign?"
Flipping pages in a book
Filled with pictures that you took
Your eyes are mirrors from that day
With your emotions on display
You relive your memories
As you try to hide your pleas
You're not strong enough to see
Their broken melodies
Is this all you have to give
Is that really what you win
Did you know that jumping in
Or did you see your world coming to an end
Is that all you have to give
Is that really what you win
Did you know that jumping in
Or did you miss a warning
'Cause you couldn't see it
You couldn't hear
The broken melodies
