You Got Me Wrong


You never say my name right
or see me in the daylight
you've never met my mother
and you hog all of the covers
you never hold my hand
or let me sit while you stand
you always get your way
so i'd just like to say

you got me wrong
that's not my favorite song
I don't care if you wrote it
i'd believe you if you showed it
but your words and my sighs
they're all lies, they're all lies
you got me wrong
this won't be long

you forgot my birthday
you wouldn't have cared much anyway
I needed you tonight
but you said i'll be fine
I won't ask you anymore
if you still talk to that whore
you always get your way
but i'd just like to say

you got me wrong, you got me wrong
that's not my favorite song
I don't care if you wrote it
i'd believe you if you showed it
but your words and my sighs
they're all lies, they're all lies
you got me wrong
this won't be long

oh i'm using you as much as you use me
keep throwing that money around
I like what I see
you said you've changed
but you're just rearranged

you got me wrong, you got me oh so wrong
that's not my favorite song
I don't care if you wrote it
i'd believe you if you showed it
but your words and my sighs
they're all lies, they're all lies
you got me wrong, you got me wrong
I fucking hate that stupid song
I don't care if you wrote it
i'd believe you if you showed it
but your words and my sighs
they're all lies, they're all lies, they're all lies
this won't be long
you got me wrong

1,000 Times (Not Finished)

tell me tell me tell me
can you feel it coming
can you see it rear it's head
it's just a night terror on it's way to your bed
tell me tell me tell me
are you scared
or are you brave
cause i'm gonna need some strength to get me though the day

and when the lights go out
and the city is asleep
i turn into a vulture
praying on the weak

i know i've done it 1000 times
and it'll probably take 1000 more
cause i never learned the lesson
that i was supposed to learn before
and my actions are much louder
than the voice in my own head

but i know that i'll be alright
i know that i'll be just fine
i know that i'll be alright
tomorrow

i hate that i like you

your hair always sticks up in the front
your mouth never closes all the way
your voice is kinda nasally and you have two left feet
so why can't i get you off my mind

your shirt's always one size too small
your pant's have a stain near the pocket
all your socks have holes and you never tie your shoes
so why can't i get you off my mind

there's this thing that you do and it drives me crazy
and i wish you would do it again
the mere thought of you makes me want to cringe
but i can't get you off my mind

there's this thing that you do and it drives me crazy
and i wish you would do it again
the mere thought of you makes me want to cringe
but i can't get you off my mind

you never know when to shutup
you can never keep a secret
you lie all the time, and you always get caught
so why can't i get you off my mind

there's this thing that you do and it drives me crazy
and i wish you would do it again
the mere thought of you makes me want to cringe
but i can't get you off my mind

i don't want to be your girlfriend
i don't want to be your wife
i just wanna be the one that you think about at night
'cause you're not that great
and neither am i
but we're so great together

i hate that i like you X8

there's this thing that you do and it drives me crazy
and i wish you would do it again
the mere thought of you makes me want to cringe
but i can't get you off my mind

there's this thing that you do and it drives me crazy
and i wish you would do it again
the mere thought of you makes me want to cringe
but i can't get you off my mind

I'm Never Lonely

When we met
you had those nerdy glasses that just turn me on
and i hated your taste in music
but i didn't care
that you had someone else, i wanted you for myself
even though you said we'd only be friends

in one month's time
i had you in my pocket, or the other way around
but i would never admit that
i was falling fast
it wasn't close to love, it was only satisfaction
but you would never be satisfied


i light a cigarette
and call him up
cause i've always got someone
up my sleeve
the other boys can't compare to you
but at least i'll never have to sleep alone
at least i'll never have to sleep at all


here you are
you're the one thing i want, but i can't have
maybe that's where the attraction lies
there you go
it was nice while it lasted, and the sex was great
'but it was just a summer fling' you said


and when you held me
i kinda thought it was real, maybe you did too
and you got a little scared
at least that's what i tell myself
late at night in the dark, on the way to the park
trying to find my favorite bench


i light a cigarette
and call him up
cause i've always got someone
up my sleeve
the other boys can't compare to you
but at least i'll never have to sleep alone
at least i'll never have to sleep at all

in response to your childish hate poem (not finished)

you write poems, well he writes songs
you thought i wouldn't, hell you were wrong!
save your hate poems for someone who cares
i got a new one, he writes love songs for nightmares

your rules are for breaking
i just hope that they don't break me
cause your hate words aren't hurting
and your hurt words don't hate me

you gave me tears, he gave me a mixed cd
you gave me fears, he gave me bad memories
in the end it didn't turn out very well
as long as we're both miserable your grimace makes me smile

Fiction (not finished)

i held your hand
i kissed your cheek
you thought i loved you for a week
you're welcome for the looks
you're welcome for the sighs
you're welcome for the things i said
and how they were a lie

you'll miss it when it's gone

you're not scared at all are you
you'll just keep doing what you do
you think i'll always be here waiting
but in the background i am fading
i can't be here anymore
but i cannot find the door

hold your breath
count to ten
don't give up
just do it again
(x2)

the little boy in my arms
i hope he travels to the stars
with his bright eyes and his charm
there is nothing stopping him
he can't stay here too long
but the timing is all wrong

hold your breath
count to ten
don't give up
just do it again
(x2)

the homeless man across the street
i gave him some food to eat
but he was picky and he spit it
out across my feet
beggars can't be choosers
otherwise we'd all be losers

hold your breath
count to ten
don't give up
just do it again
(x2)

you're not scared at all are you
you'll just keep doing what you do
you think i'll always be here waiting
but in the background i am fading
i can't be here anymore
watch me walk right out the door...

the hardest part (not finished)

the fast lights
the bright cars
the strong drinks
we'll make ours
the best in the world
our time is
just wasting
away and
we're pacing
just to make it last
but it won't last long
no we won't last long

running and
jumping and
breaking through
walls that we've built
everyone
knows that
the rules are
for breaking
just don't let them break you back
don't worry i'll be back

the hardest part of laughing is living
the hardest part of living is loving
the hardest part of loving is laughing
so laugh when it's not funny
love when they don't love you back
live even when you're dying
pretend there is nothing that you lack and
hold
on
tight

dear emily (not finished)

this is my letter to the world that never wrote to me
the simple news that nature told with her tender majesty
oh for the love
this message is commited
oh for the love
i should be commited
oh for the love of sweet contrymen who judge me tender
judge tenderly of me, please

when you're done please tell me so my thoughts may dim
oh darling you are lagging cause i still remember him
talking between the rooms so late at night
and the moss met our lips
and covered up our names till light


this is my letter to the world that never wrote to me
the simple news that nature told with it's tender majesty
oh for the love
this message is commited
oh for the love
i should be commited
oh for the love of sweet countrymen who judge me tender
judge tenderly of me, please

wild nights, wild nights just you and me
they were our sweet luxury
futile rowing against the sea, the breeze
it brought dejected sounds and bathed them in glee
as our voices sung, the orchard's spangles hung

i try

my feet move beneath me
but my head is somewhere else
my hands move of there own accord
as i am searching through the corn
but no one's there
cause no one cares

should i care
about the life you're leading
you are bleeding all over the couch
your mouth's the only thing i care about

should i care
about the life i'm surely leaving
i've done enough reading to travel the world

when i fall
i try
when i take it all
i try
when i ruin it all for someone else i try so hard
i'll just try harder next time

would anyone mind
if i just laughed and cried at the same time
my emotions are mildy wild
like a zoo
that fits in your shoe

i've got pretty small shoes to fill
but i try to overflow them
with all my dreams and wishes
but eleven:eleven has passed
and it won't come back

when i fall
i try
when i take it all
i try
when i ruin it all for someone else i try so hard
i'll just try harder next time

do you care
about the life you're leading
you are bleeding all over my damn couch
is your money the only thing you care about

would you please care
about the life i'm surely leaving
i've done enough reading to travel the whole world round

i'm surely leaving
getting out of this town
so that you won't follow:
i'm burning this city to the ground

when i fell
i tried
when i took it all
i still tried
then i ruined it all for someone else
now i'm done trying

cause you won't let me fly away
fly away

so you can speak to me

back to me when you're gone
so i can sleep
so i will dream
of your voice

even when you scream
woah! you scream so loud
even when you scream it calms me down
so scream
and yell
and shout
and pound your hands on me

it helps me

oh my memory is failing me
that mp3 is so boring

back to me when you're not here


when you're not here
i want your song in my heart
i want your lies in my head
just lie to me just lie to me just lie to me just lie to me just lie to me
oh i'll believe
as long as it's your voice
those three words
are even sweeter when you don't mean it
just lie to me
you know i'll believe

shut off that mp3 or 4 or 5
break my headphones
turn on my memory
i don't wanna hear your voice near me
