There's a monster in my chest.

I can barely breathe Your words they run right through me Somehow they've kept me hoping For more, from you But now I can hardly see A change to keep from dying How could you keep on lying To you, To me... We can't keep living this way. I don't want to give up on you on you I don't want to shut up the truth But the truth is we're losing you I can barely keep My hands from falling down even when you're losing ground But I want to help you And now I can hardly speak oh I wish you could see all the damage you're doing How could you keep on going? We can't keep living this way. I don't want to give up on you on you I don't want to shut up the truth But the truth is we're losing you So save your breath For a different alibi All you've kept are your useless lies You can bury love but we will never give up We'll never give up on you and I won't hold my tongue because the war has just begun Somehow we're in this web you spun and I wil...

You have a way of loving me like I have never known Can’t figure you out but I’ve figured you’re the one for me Can you tell me how you do it? Effortlessly, wonderful. Somehow I’ll pull through it, but you’re keeping me so vulnerable. I don’t want to let you down but I’ve been holding back I don’t mean to make you frown but there’s something that I lack I want to trust you the way that you trust me I want to hold you and your words like gold I want to love you the way that you love me I’m not damaged goods, I promise Don’t let go, Oh don’t you let go You have a way of making me feel safe, you know it But I push away when you push me by mistake Now I’ve scrapped my knees and I’ve got the scars to prove it You didn’t mean to make me bleed but I’ve got to get through this I don’t want to let you down but I’ve been scared to see I don’t need to look around cause you’re everything to me I want to trust you the way that you trust me I want to hold you and your words like gold I want to love ...

Never mind the mess. It couldn't bother me any less. Somehow it led me straight to you. Never mind the games. It's these foolish hearts at play. And I gotta tell ya, I wouldn't have it any other way. Take me surprise. You do it best when you're covering my eyes. Oh the things you do to win my heart. Take me by the hand. It's been hard for me to stand But I gotta tell ya, you make it seem so easy to dance. I just love the way you care. You make me calm when life isn't fair. It doesn't matter cause I won the world with you. I just love the way you smile. You make all my heart breaks so worth while. Cause somehow, it led me straight to you. Straight to you.

Could it be that we're surviving Could it be that we're trying to hold on I'm holding on to you Could it be that we're escaping the fate, the edge of breaking apart You're holding my heart And I don't know of any place I'd rather be than here in your arms, just you and me ............ So much for being untouchable Could it be there's no distractions Could it be our first reaction to love I'm so in love with you Could you keep your hand inside mine While I sing to you a new rhyme We’ll make it through I promise you. Cause I don’t know of any place I'd rather be than here in your arms, just you and me and I don't know of anyone as beautiful as you and I don't care how hard the fight I'll always fight for you my love, my love so much for being untouchable

W hat happened to your smile? You looked at me with eyes so bright That light has seemed to fade Ever quickly now You’re bound for an escape I never thought this day would come And I never thought it through The pages burn, one by one I'm only dust to you All I need is one more day For it’s one more day with you Remember kinder times Of when our love was new What happened to the laughter? Its music kept us safe But this dance, it has us strained & silenced is our fate Oh, what a terrible mess we’ve made I denied this day would come It’s something I refused The pages gone, every one I'm nothing now to you What happened to that kiss? I know it meant much more than this I have reached out to my innocence But I fear it's reached its distance ...hear these words & take them in I REFUSE to be your experience Ever quickly now You've made your escape I’m letting go somehow Me & you, my greatest mistake

You left me no choice as I waited for you to call. It’s what I had to do but you don’t remember at all. To escape from your voice was the hardest thing to do. To get over my pain was to get over you . Where have you been? I hope she was worth it. My delusion, my stranger. You’ll someday regret this. You left me alone here & I just want a reason. I’ve dabbled in my anger but I’ve past that season. Go and take your place while I dread it’s still a hoax. Since your back to play the role I’ve wanted for you the most. It cannot change my face for it’s always been the same. It cannot change the time you stole for you never won this game. I’ll be here ever steady even though my heart is heavy. I want to call you mine again but I don’t think I’m ready. Stay with me.

A search for truth with an echoed stone among the two it broke your bones. The sticks came down and bruised your skin. It's what I know now but didn't know then. It was innocent. Hopeful inclination the calm before the sound but the door flew open and bitterness was all I found. Your words I still carry vague as it could be every breath was meant and meant for only me. I thank you for the invitation. Have you expected some untruth? Because I don’t care who is right or wrong here But I expected more of you. We built a wall of misconceptions and felt our peace get up and leave It was our sad, sad misfortune and I just sat in disbelief. I wish we could go back now before the words cut right through. It's not the time to keep our heads down. Is that the best that you can do?
