Songs I've written this year...

Maybe I'm...tired of these games
maybe I'm the kind of girl
who is just a bit naive
and maybe when I'm close to you
I sometimes forget to breathe
all I want to do, all I can say
is I am tired of these games

maybe I'm the kind of girl
who obsesses and overthinks
maybe I'm the kind of girl
who acts like a slut when she drinks
maybe I'm just sick of feeling stupid
and maybe I'm wrong that's what I've concluded
maybe I just want to complain
that I am tired of these games

I always lose
I don't know how to play
what are the rules?

maybe I'm the kind of girl
who's really much better off alone
and maybe I, just don't have the time
to sit and wait by my phone
maybe that's an outdated reference
'cause my cell's right here in my pocket
but maybe you should have called me back
'cause you had a good thing and you lost it
maybe we'll meet again someday
but for now I'm tired of these games

I always lose
I don't know how to play
what are the rules?
I'm tired of these games.

 ONLY FEELINGS
All the bugs come out and watch me as I play
creeping out of corners spots of black and gray
mirrors on the wall tell of my past transgressions
scars on my skin are clear in my reflection
i'm only happy when i'm breathing
when i can't breathe at all
i am restless unless I'm breathless
what is life?
Only feelings.

I feel like I'm going to fall off the world
on the edge of chaos completely unheard
why does connection to the physical
only let me know that I'm expendable?
I'm only happy when I'm breathing
when I can't breathe at all
I am restless unless I'm breathless
what is life?
only feelings.

Now is nothing the past is a haze
the future is scary that's why we get blazed
I'm only happy when I'm breathing
when I can't breathe at all
I am restless unless I'm breathless
what is life?
only feelings.

worth it
it turns out the best thing about you
was the music that we listened to
not the long nights we malingered
they don't linger in my memory the same


when I look back and remember
even though it hurts it was worth it
if you think of me and remember
even though you won't it was worth it.
it was worth it.


I can still feel your lips on mine
no matter how I try to forget you
truth is that I loved you
more before I had you
the facade of your smile
and your lazy arm around me
the way you pushed my head down


when i look back and remember
even though it hurts it was worth it
if you think of me and remember
even though you won't it was worth it.
it was worth it.


There were no ideals hacked away
i'd been hurt before
but i thought you were better
now you've forgotten all about me


meant to bes are for a moment in time
our moment is over, you were never mine


when i look back and remember
even though it hurts it was worth it, it was worth it
if you think of me and remember
even though you probably won't
its still worth it, it was worth it.




Cheyanne
*started today so only a chorus
Cheyanne is drowning
can't you see
her big blue eyes
staring up at you
from beneath the water
if you looked
you would find
the universe
that's inside her soul
and then you'd know
