I'm Holding On
April 8, 2010

I look at you
It's out of my control
You're so beautiful
I can't let the thought go
I want to know you
Hear you say my name
But I want to hold you
And never let you go.

I'm holding onto something I can't have
I'm not afraid
If only I could see you
Hear your voice
And know I'm right
It's not getting any clearer
It's hazy out
It's just not right
And if you want to see me
Call me closer.

It's all in my head
It could never happen
I can feel the roughness
From your guitar hands
You'd never love me
Rock 'n' rolls not like that
Just write songs about me
I'll be the one that stands out.

I'm holding onto something I can't have
I'm not afraid
If only I could see you
Hear your voice
And know I'm right
It's not getting any clearer
It's hazy out
It's just not right
And if you want to see me
Call me closer.

Many dreams that I have dreamed
Many faces I have seen
Many times I've turned to you
I can't believe that I am here
Questioning whats in my mind
Asking why I need you more.

I'm holding onto something I can't have
I'm not afraid
If only I could see you
Hear your voice
And know I'm right
It's not getting any clearer
It's hazy out
It's just not right
And if you want to see me
Call me closer.

For a Reason
April 8, 2010

I wonder what you said to her that day
Making her cry and making her turn away
She turned to me and I couldn't handle it
I broke down and nearly had a fit
I wonder what you're saying now
Is the new girl a pawn in your game
Do you treat her with the same disrespect
Never letting her answer and making a mess.

Don't take back everything you said
You said it all for a reason
Don't be sad now, it's all done
Maybe you should have thought it over before you took a run
I can't believe you ever saw it simply
Was the outcome ever clear to you
Don't take back everything you said
It would all still leave a scar.

Time's passing now and look what's happened
We're all moving on and you're still on the side
Look me in the eye and tell me I'm okay
I'll prove to you I'm not in any way
Scream out loud if you're frustrated
Scared on the inside, afraid to start
To forgive is easy to do
But the thoughts still there how do I trust you.

Don't take back everything you said
You said it all for a reason
Don't be sad now, it's all done
Maybe you should have thought it over before you took a run
I can't believe you ever saw it simply
Was the outcome ever clear to you
Don't take back everything you said
It would all still leave a scar.

Prove Me Wrong
April 6, 2010

It's impossible not to feel hollow
When something happens to you just like this
You turn to people all around you
They tell you it must all be in your head
I need some positive attention
I need a way to clear the dust in my head
I've got no room for misconceptions
I need somewhere to rest my head.

I know by looking at you
It makes no sense to doubt you
until you prove me wrong like they did
But if you listen slowly
And absorb the whole story
I know that everything will come true.

I feel the longer that I've know you
You're sinking into a pattern with them
I've told you always that I'd need you
But I guess I can make it on my own instead
I can see it in your eyes
When you stare vacantly at me
I guess it's not a surprise
That you're not who I thought you would be.

I know by looking at you
It makes no sense to doubt you
until you prove me wrong like they did
But if you listen slowly
And absorb the whole story
I know that everything will come true.

And I can see it late at night
The way you don't answer me's not right
You're driving me out of my mind
I thought I had somewhere to hide
Or worse I thought I could confide
I thought maybe you'd hold me tight
And tell me everything's alright.

I know by looking at you
It makes no sense to doubt you
until you prove me wrong like they did
But if you listen slowly
And absorb the whole story
I know that everything will come true.
