The taste of her gum, Reminds her of him. The same taste on his tongue,

I fell for him, fell hard, so swift and quick As if it was an act of Aphrodite
When he held my hand,
Young like a kid and wild like a forest i meet him and felt complete for seven hundred thirty days i felt alive and loved.welcomed we wasted time, long talks on the phone,
We started with a "hey" We ended in "good bye" You left me on the floor Pretending I'm fine But you left me out to dry And all you had were lies I think about you everyday

I was on a stroll, when I took a glimpse Of a garden in a man’s home. Petals, leaves, vines were behind the fences Fragrances, shaped, colors invaded my senses,
Leaves turn from red to gold, The summerlight is replaced by the cold, Long days are now short. Why are you still here? I thought you would have left, But you're still here.
The heart-wrenching news you tell me nowadays  Is stored in the latched box of my distant mind; it decays Into my deepest and darkest ponders, And upon reminder is where this distraction wanders.  
Do you know the difference? It's your new-found lack of interest   The way we used to speak,  About this life,  That romantic time at Miller creek, You made me feel so much alive,
Like a game of Russian Roulette, I sit here and I sweat. My palms are cold and wet. I am waiting for the gun To make its way to me.

our Love is like a rose. Beautiful to the eye, And deadly to touch. Feeding off of words so lovely and sweet. Thriving off of passion and feelings so deep.

Some days it’s so easy to forget; it’s like it never happened. Other days, it’s impossible to ignore; I wish it never happened. I thought I could leave it all behind, but it keeps catching up to me,
You had me beside you We laughed We talked We were perfection… Up until the point where I was charmed into your words You came up with the idea And I had found a spot And together we dug
Scary winds, so rough and so strong Emptiness, that feels so wrong Loneliness, dragged on for too long My warm heart, once full of love and light Was torn away from me one starry night
Kiss me, shove me, break me Turn these shades to black & blue, Peel back this skin, make it new Love me, hate me, infuriate me Scream a little louder; I can't hear you,
They say that elephants are the only mammals that can die of a broken heart. But what about people? I put on a front by smiling While in fact I was actually dying. No one knew that my heart longed for love.
ya see i dont wanna be deceived in this deceivious world full of lies
This is the story that is more about nothing. More or less the present day Cinderella story where nothing turned into something.
Love was in our verses, Love was never perfect, when the music had played out its like god came and birthed it. Heaven had met earth it had finally scratched the surface, those three years that i spent had really felt like they were worth it.
A purple hydrangea petal lies on the floor empty, its’ life can’t be seen anymore The flowers has bloomed, the blossoms have died Every petal a tear drop that has landed while cried
A purple hydrangea petal lies on the floor empty, its’ life can’t be seen anymore The flowers has bloomed, the blossoms have died Every petal a tear drop that has landed while cried
The day you left me, Was the day my life was lifted away. My heart was filled with sadness. My soul cried out for you to come back to me. Losing you killed me.
No one can understand how I felt. When it happened I wanted to scream. The pain inside me was a tightening belt. I was struck by an ominous lighting beam. I wanted to sit in the sun and melt.
