No Do Overs.

I haven't heard your voice in years

It has been too long since you whispered in my ear 

Since you kissed me on my cheek

And made my knees feel weak

I miss looking in those brown eyes

And knowing everything was alright

Sitting on your bed with our fingers intertwined 

It has been too long since you were all mine 

I need to hear that sweet voice, damn I miss your sweet voice 

I'd listen to it all day if I had the choice

I'd be with you all day if I had the choice

Tell you that I love you, until I lose my voice 

But those days are over

And there's no do overs. 

So Far Gone

The vase sits alone on the table, as the girl waits eagerly

He said he would be there shortly, so she sits, waits, patiently 

She hasn't seen him in weeks, says he's been busy with school 

She said don't worry, I understand, it's cool

Then hangs up the phone and cries to herself, all alone 

But he'll never say how she feels, so her feelings are never known

She glances at the clock, he's over an hour late 

Just sit here, she tells herself, he'll show up just you wait 

Another twenty minutes go by, she begins to lose hope

The phone rings and before it can ring twice she's already picked up 

"Hey babe," it's been so long since she's heard his voice

She hears him sigh, oh she knows that noise 

He says he's too busy, maybe another time 

She quietly wipes a tear, don't worry it's fine 

She says she still loves him, he hangs up 

Fury fills her blood, she's so fed up 

So sick of every excuse, they've become so absurd 

She throws the vase to the ground, as empty as his words

Where the flowers should have been, but he never did show 

He was never there to see her there, so he won't even see her go

But she's gone,

She's so far gone 

Keep Your Head Up

Lately I've felt that the sun just doesn't shine so bright
'Cause recently I haven't been able to see its light
I saw a glimpse, but it was quickly choked by the shadows
And my smile quickly gone, choked by the sorrows
Fighting back the tears so I don't drown in its puddles
The pain comes quick, no longer so subtle
My scars bleed out and my soul screams out
Suffocating in all this doubt
I used to be glass half full, but now it's feeling so empty
Don't know whats gotten into me
I used to be all smiles, bow I don't even know what a smile is
And, honestly, I'm kind of over all this shit
I try to hide it, but I feel it creeping out
And soon enough I won't be able to block it out
I have a civil war going on inside
And the demons seem to be the only ones that haven't died
I need to find the positivity of the day
Someone told me she's blessed 'cause she's got 2 arms and 2 legs
Damn, I needed to hear that about now
'Cause I've been feeling so stressed out
Be thankful for one more breath
Soon these demons will face their death
Soon the sun will shine so bright
Block out the shadows and fill your life back up with light
Keep your head up, I just have to keep my head up
Don't give up, I just need to keep my head up
