On With The Show

 

 

I hear you scream for help

But I can't help but watch you drown

I could I ever save you

When my own feet aren't on the ground

 

Your a beautiful disaster

You take my breath away

I choke on thoughts that make no sense

I'm at a loss for what to say

 

I wanna hold you under

In till I know it's safe

To turn my back and close my eye's

And let you walk away

 

This is the calm before the storm

Can you hear the clouds rumble

Can you hear the desperation in my voice

With the words that I just mumbled

 

Do you have to look me in the eyes

Don't you know that's half the battle

You've never seen the real me

Just a poor pathetic shadow

 

This is what you do to me

Intentional or not

I'm ripping at every seam

And I'm not sure how to stop

 

I wish I could tear you down

Just to build you all over

And fill you with thoughts

That would make you get sober

 

I wish I could rebuild myself

And add you in every moment

And relinquish the facts

That have so far stayed dormant

 

Your everything I've ever needed

And everything I don't

Your every bad experience

And every funny joke

 

What's the matter gorgeous

Have I taken too long

Did I not live up to your expectations

Did I say something wrong

 

Have I made you feel what I feel

Every single day

Is the truth to much to handle

Will it make you run away

 

Send a postcard if you do

Tell me all you've seen

Explain to me everything

That made you get up and leave

 

Cuz I need to give this up

If your not gonna try

And I don't need another reason

To let the tears slide

 

Your a wreak of underlining meanings

That leaves me second guessing your intent

But the truth in your eye's

leaves me catching my breath

 

And my fist pounds the wall

Cuz pains easier than this

And I start to think back

To the first time we kissed

 

Then to the first time we fought

And then to the time after that

When I knew in my heart

That I could never turn back

 

And I realized I'd hold on

To nothing if it meant

I'd have you for the moment

F**k the regrets

 

And what can I say

Once we look at the facts

And see the true meaning

In all that we lack

 

Cuz I'll be the first to say

That we made some mistakes

But that doesn't stop the hurt

Or my heart as it breaks

 

And I'm so f*****g sorry

That I couldn't be stronger

And I'd give it all back

If we could just have tomorrow

 

But that's asking a lot

And trust me I know

That this could never work out

So let's get on with the show
