Condition

You act out in fits of rage and destruction because you're not used to being separated from your love.

I think that's what we do as humans because there is something that separates us from Love.

Unforeseen

You don't have to worry about me falling for you.
But you falling for me? That's something you should worry about.

Mystery & Treasure

There's something about you, something special.
You've caught me off guard. You've caught my attention.

I'm drawn to you, and I can't figure out why.

Little Black Dress

"I ripped it off because I had nothing to hide.
Sometimes, I wish you had never discovered the treasure inside."

Character

You're really good at playing a role--maybe one day you'll find who you really are.

If. . .

If you really knew her, you'd know she hasn't cut herself in over a year.

Desire

I don't want what I used to want.

Explain that to me.

Semi--

The person I have the deepest love for has also put the deepest pain in my heart.

Disaster

There is beauty here. . .
. . .in this mess I've made.

Q & A

I don't usually ask You to answer me. I think my questions are enough for You at times.

But right now, I could really use some answers, some closure, some peace.

Holding You

I love you deeply, yet I can't help but fear that one day I'm going to hurt you in the worst, most terrible way.

"The last hand I held was shaking, and I let it go."

Marble Piece

"I don't want anything from you. All this time, I've just wanted to give you everything."

Tonight

Can we sit a while and enjoy the silence? Because there's so much I want to tell you, and my secrets are hidden in the night sky.

Un-Faithful

I know it's hard for you to believe something good will come of this, but I really need you to believe right now.

Attic

"Maybe I was comfortable with it;
Maybe I was comfortable with you."

Memories

"I set this place on fire for you. . ."

Fire By Night

You're changing things. You're taking things. You're moving things.

And for once, I'm okay with it.

Blueberry Muffins

I can't say, "I'll be here when you get back".
I can't say, "I'll hold you when you're weak".
I can't say, "I'll lead you when you're lost".


Because you're already going places, you're already strong, and you're already making you're own way.

Love

The very thing that drew us together will be the very thing that will tear us apart.

This Time

I hope that when you leave, I can forget you.
And I hope our paths don't cross again.

Your joy has caused me so much pain.

The Promise

"You give me hope that one day I will find who I am and that I will love the person I discover."

Rehab

I'm not an addict.
I just need help living with pain. Don't you?

Across The Table

You're the only person I feel safe around.
You're the only person I feel comfortable around.
You're the only person I don't have to entertain because you enjoy me for who I am, not for what I can do.

And it's the oddest thing because I've only known you for such a short time.

Wait

I find it to be the most ironic thing--finding healing in the pain.

He Wears Lipstick

I am curious.
I wonder what it's like to be you.
I hear there is love beneath the starts.
I see it in your eyes.
I want to know what is behind them.

I am weak.
I pretend to be whole.
I believe you're more than what they say you are.
I touch the brims of Heaven when I kiss you.
I feel the sky smile and hear the night sing when we're together.

I am trying to find peace.
I worry about the day when I won't see you anymore.
I cry when I think about it.
I don't want to see you walk away from me.
I found a treasure when I found you.
