Just call me in the morning if you feel like talking, but before you do I just wanted you to know that I am done with all of your lies. No one ever said that this would be easy. So I will run away as far as I can. I never wanted to be here anyway. I never wanted to be right here like this. No one ever said that this would be easy. After all of the lies and chances you gave me. You know I’m proud of you, you finally took a stand. I never wanted to be here anyway. You finally found a way to make me hurt.

Meet me after the sunset in the west, we can take a chance for tonight and see where we are when the eastern sun starts to rise. So hold this close to your chest bring it back for the rest of us who need something to keep us going. Our story begins at dusk; we packed the car and headed off on the highway to the horizon. We were scared, we were brave. We did our best to grow up. So hold this close to your chest bring it back for the rest of us.

Monster

You sleep with the light on checking for monsters that creep at night. You sleep with the memory of what it’s like to live without the fear of never waking up, you’re scared; the despair of regretting everything. Say a quite prayer at night; hold the blanket over your head. Leave the light on. There are no monsters, just a little ghost to remind you of what you had and how you were close to sleeping sound, from dusk ‘til dawn now all you know is that I’m not coming back, I’m gone. Shut the windows and lock all of the doors trying to keep out the memory of what it was like before I made my own choice. You made some of your own. You’ll fall asleep and have a nightmare, now you’ll wake in your bed alone. Is this how it will be forever? Will it ever get any better? The circumstance of sleepless nights was all your fault. You might as well unplug the phone if you’re expecting my call.

I never said this, you could have stayed. I don’t mind if you hate this. I never thought it’d be this way. I don’t mind if you don’t care at all. This is just a passing thing, trying to get up from a fall. I've seen it happen so many times before, latching on to the heart to pull the bet from the rhythm on the floor. You’re hands like ice stop my lungs from breathing just so you can catch your breathe. My blood is pumping under my pale skin with your fingers on my neck. Romance went out the window when we walked out the door. I know your tricks, your quips. You think everything you do it gold. You’re selling lies by the yard. You’re a fake. You’re a fraud who isn't in the slightest control. You’re such a liar, you’re such a fake.
