tell me you wish that you never met me so we can have something in common there are night when i don't sleep i get to see the five o'clock sunrise think about how my life has flashed before my eyes so many goddamn times i wish i knew how to cope tell me you wish that you never met me so we can have something in common i'll keep portraying that everything is fine i'm an emotional wreck, that's the bottom line i'll keep pretending that i'm okay if you keep pretending that you never cared i'm not a sidewalk you can't walk all over me i'm not your shoulder to lean on anymore you can't use me you can't fucking use me lions don't lose sleep over the opinions of sheep

i've been bending over backwards trying to ease all your insecurities i'm leaving and it hurts but we won't nowhere you've done nothing for me now we're fighting over nothing screaming, but your words won't come out you're drinking shows you're bluffing all washed up, who's laughing now? break break break break up the things we started take take take away everything you gave to me it was the best two years now we're giving it a rest it's all quiet now, these walls give silent breaths you told me that i was changing but it's you who's been forgetting you were losing sight of what we wanted i didn't ask for much no, i didn't ask for much you we're too busy with your bottle never a chance to think about tomorrow

i've built up a tough enough skin filling in cracks that someone broke in it's about remembering the past not dwelling in it it's about fixing myself constructing something to be proud of dear me, if i ever come back here don't let me forget about andover if it weren't for these houses i'd never believe that the hours I spent meant my dreams weren't over i've gone from household daydreams to illustrating my thoughts through you isolation taught me to love myself when no one else will compassion showed me the beauty in breathing the thoughts in my head my heart felt it's okay to be shattered as long as you don't let it define you it's okay to appreciate the sentiment in lost love it's okay to live over and over and over...

another week passes by and nothing will change because you can't help but not be yourself wanting to be a success is aspiration doing something about it is determination don't expect things to change without putting you're all into it stop trying to be someone you know you can't be i can't be the only one who wants to believe who wants to succeed you've got some jealousy deep inside you just have to be yourself because it's all you can be i've seen it all before been there and done that went through hell and came right back i've got a driving force i've learned to never stray from the path never stray from the path (woo) [kevin] we are the kids who never give up we'll keep on fighting, we'll never give up we'll prove our worth, work for our success taking the easy way out is nothing but a let down i'll no longer chase after you i'm better off without you

Jouska 04:55
remember when i told you all of my deepest, darkest secrets remember when you told me you'd keep them remember when i let my guard down i trusted you you made me trust you you said your family knew about me was that a lie too you said your friends wanted to meet me i don't believe that's true sometimes i'd rather be selfish than ever care about someone like you again everything was way too good to be true but you made me trust you if i said i didn't miss you i'd be lying through my teeth then i remember that i'm too good for you call me crazy while i call your bluff you'll hide like a coward run away, like, fuck off i would've swam the ocean for you you wouldn't even step into a puddle for me tell me you wish that you never met so we could have something in common...
