You And Me. Got no patience for the time you wasted, Making jokes that weren't funny, Dismissing all those time you could have told me that you loved me. Waited for you when you said you weren't ready, Five months down the line you saying we won't ever be? Quitting me. Why's it so hard for me to leave but you can give up so easily? Now I'm not playing no more, This game of love and hate got me feeling raw. I thought that it would be different this time for sure, New #life, new guy but you're hurting me more. Words weren't easy to come but I coaxed them out anyway, Ferociously, Cos I felt like you should be hearing me, Could you believe? Told you that I loved you and you turned your head away. Shuffled me like a song you couldn't play. And did I stay? Crying in the bathroom whilst you're contemplating what you heard. I was cautious but still, I put you first. Still got scars from that time he broke my heart, It's like a curse, He hurt me bad, but boy you hurt me worse. Now it's a fine line between friends, Calling me baby when you know you don't comprehend, How it hurts to hear you say, Knowing there's a chance you still love me the same way. Reeling me in but I push you away, Stronger than I was on that first day. Never thought we'd be more than friends You made that first move, I never bent. Now you're taking it all back like, was it even worth it? Together on this ride but we barely scratched the surface. Seeing pictures that stir up that fear inside of me. Can't you see? Course I'd think you're playing me every time you say that you can't be with me. I don't care if she's just your friend, Sometimes I wonder if it's all pretend. Scares me. Makes me think one day you'll be replacing me. Distance myself now cos I can't take it, Thinking I don't want to speak to you, Man, I hate that. But every time your name pops up I feel the hurting. Want you to feel what it's like without me, But I know it's a one way street, If you feel that way then it's the same for me. Now I'm getting compliments that aren't yours, Telling me things I've heard before. I liked it better the way you said it Cos you meant it. Telling me what you see When I'm looking in the mirror. Reflecting back both you and me. Seriously, is there ever a time when you don't think of me? We're the same you and me, Reflecting thoughts back like we're rhyming in poetry. Honestly, can you picture it without me? Long road ahead and we'll be crossing paths simultaneously. Never see me but you'll feel me, Depths of despair when she don't care, About the songs you play cos it's the only damn way you get your words out, It turns out, we're the same, You and Me.

My Favourite Heartache. Lessons I never learn, Bridges I never burned. Desire redder than a rose, your thorns cut deeper than I show. Shadows behind you now in front of me, Can't escape the fate that's haunting me, Looming. Illuminating the dark like a mistake that I can't face. Stressing me with your words, can't keep track of these, Memories. Taking front seat because you're all I see, Choking me with smoke, Yeah, that's what you do to me. Poison in my lungs I inhale you, Tortured myself but that's because of you, Never, ever judged because you were me. Cold heart melting by the love you never wanted. Forgiveness don't come easy when you're stealing every piece of me, Greedy. Grasping at straws because you're what I always needed to see. Distance making us perturbed, words of truth make us disturbed. But I stick by you cos' your decent behind all that crap your feeding me, Leading me on knowing I'm getting it wrong, Don't want no one to be waiting for you at home. Bullshit. You know it isn't true, When it comes down to it, You need me more than I ever needed you.

Burn The Pages Crossing out lines, Don't you dare say we ran out of time. Your words on which I choke, Paper turned to ashes Up in flames, puffing smoke. Won't let this be another thing you broke. Dying by your hand, My suicidal man.

Karma. Said you ruined his #life Didn't think twice Could of been happy But you made him pay the price Responsibilities causing infidelities You know what that's like? Lover undercover of midnight Polo was the only place we could hide. Made him better when you messed around Built him up and stripped him down. Hidden from your sight, we were alright Doing just fine until daylight. We would part, say our goodbyes Told him, "don't make me wait" He left you the next day. We were free, no secrecy, let the world see. Trophy on his shelf Stopped feeling myself. His #life was mine I didn't have the time Too young to be telling stories at bedtime. Anger in him was hard to bare Jealousy, dishonesty Hiding things from me. Slowly started to see, Was it you? Or was it me? What a joke, Two women blamed by the same bloke Blinded by the devil in the gentleman's coat. When he's done with us He'll run from us Straight back in the game Never alone, he'll play Another lined up the same day. Guess you weren't half as bad As he made out cos' he was mad. Now he'll tell her the same thing, That I was the one who did the destroying. Karma's a bitch, bitch Guess I got mine, I took your man And she took mine.

Not Today Not enough She tells herself each day Still somehow she lets you play With her heart, with her mind Every time she hides You find her every night In her weak moments Clock strikes midnight But she won't fight. Dawn sheds new light She'll be alright Swears she's done with you For the last time Won't let you back Knows you'll catch her When shes falling behind Like shadows in the night Swallowing the light. But today's the day You'll call and she'll say, "Nah thanks, I'm alright." ✌
