17SongsAboutSummerboy [100409]

And on the seventeenth song,
I realized this notebook's filled with you.
And him.
And Us.

When I told you I stopped,
I lied.
When you left
for the seventeenth time.

I remember every mess,
and every 60/40 complex.
Because I said, "you're the best",
But I wanted you to give me a rest.

This is the seventeenth song about you,
and the message is clear:
Do me right and I'll keep the fear.

This is the seventeenth song about you,
and the message is clear:
Do me right and I'll keep the fear.

This is the seventeenth song about you,
but it won't be the last.
Seventeen songs couldn't begin to cover your ground,
but I'll cover you.

RoundEight:TheAct [100409]

Paperweights and dates
with a little stab of hate.
I pull you in you pull me out.

Emo is upon us,
this could be a tragedy.
Our ship is taken by lust.
We are taken, and we're young,
So it's fuck up or bust.

Losing it is hard to do
When he wants it to be special.
Fuck me and we're through.
I don't want it, but neither do you.

Try not to make too much noise,
I want a chance with these other boys.
I won't make a single sound,
These words could drag me through another round.

RoundSeven:emotionalattachment. [100409]


You taste like fire
Burning holes in my tongue
No one will ever know how much we've done.

& you'll never know how much I never cared.
I'm playing Love off a dare.
Whether you stay or go,
It won't matter because
I adore being alone.

Try breaking me in pieces,
I'm cold as ice.
Try to melt my heart,
The way I protect it's a form of art.

You feel soft like silk,
Too much of you will make me ill.

A.L. Pseudonym [091309/092809]

It's okay
to progress at your own pace,
but move faster,
I can't wait forever.

I can't think of what to say
Am I fading away?
Are you fading away?

Hold my heart in your hands
And you could crush it in a minute.
You would just because you could.

Rumour Mill [090909]

It's all that I got,
I want you.

Halfway around the world
You're still with me.
Can you imagine the damage?
It's waiting for us.

No one has to listen to them,
Or think of what might've been,
If your kept your mouth shut.

It's all that I got,
I want you.

A Dollar, A Minute [090909]


I've been thinking of the past
& I know you thought we would last
I'm sorry
I know I've let you down.
I never meant to make you so sad.

Now I see
All I wanted was you and me
To stay together.
I miss you still.
I'm not getting over this.

You deserve better
Than someone who lived through letters,
Getting too attached too soon.
"I could be there for you".

And now Pandora's box has opened
I can't let go of my hope.

Now I see
All I wanted was you and me
To stay together.
I miss you still.
I'm not getting over this.

PhoneCallsKillTheMood[ButNotForYou] [090909]


There's always another side
of the story, and I
always believe the lies.

Eight different people
Telling me the same thing
But they're all wrong.

I don't know what to think
Too scared to admit you're my missing link
"I'll need you this year"
I won't need you if all you bring is tears.

Two different people
Telling me the same thing.
But they're both wrong.

I'd hate to leave you
Although I'm good for someone new,
I want someone just like you.

One other person
Telling me that same thing.
But she was wrong,
And I should've believed you.
