Mockingbird

Everybody else is smiling and theirs smiles don't fade...
And you don't even wonder why.. you just don't think that way...

Maybe you and me got lost somewhere,
We can't move on and we can't stay here...
Or maybe we just had enough,
Well, maybe we ain't made for this love
You and me tried everything,
And still that mockingbird won't sing..
(...)

I don't wanna love you now... if you'll just leave someday
I don't wanna turn around... if you'll just walk away... - Rob Thomas

(Nothing personal, of course... just a song I love!)

The Breakdown

She feels far to gone to stay around
Once fallen apart she still couldn't find her pieces
And thinks "Oh great, here comes the breakdown"
While losing the faith she already misses

He stares at the sky wondering if God ever existed at all,
And if He had, why would He walk away through that door,
Why won't He hold the stars when it seems like they're gonna fall,
"Why do I still cry, when I don't want to anymore?"

And they both said, I once fell in love... and I fell so hard
That I broke my arms, and my legs, and my heart

So she's back in the street and it's getting cold,
It was colder inside anyway so she doesn't seem to care
She says she's now a houndred thousand years old,
And holds on to that dirty smile she used to wear

He sits on the couch and turns the TV on,
"Breaking news: the world kept spinning round while you were standing still"
And he keeps singing that awful song,
And he keeps drawing the blanks he had yet to fill

So they both say, I once fell in love...but nobody caught me
And I lost my nose, and my eyes, and my kness

She thinks that she's given much less than what he was taking,
"Please don't take it too hard on me because I really think I tried"
But there's no use in sewing a heart that was already breaking
"Please don't you ever let me go, 'cause I just might"

And he keeps on smoking the same old cigarrette,
And he fix a drink and still lays there,
Wish she had heard those words he once thought he said,
Wish he had bought those lies she used to swear

And they think, I once fell in love... and I just kept falling
And it broke my smile, and my tears and left me here crawling

So they both look at the sky and wonder if God ever loved them at all,
And if He had, why won't He still hold the stars?
They say they have all fallen down and no one's returning their calls,
They say they have all fallen down except for one

And they both claim, I once fell in love... but I fell the wrong way
So it broke my soul, and my nights and my days.-

3 AM

She says it's cold outside and she hands me my raincoat
She's always worried about things like that
She says it's all gonna end and it might as well be my fault

And she only sleeps when it's raining
And she screams and her voice is straining

She says "baby
It's 3 am i must be lonely"
When she says baby
"Well i can't help but be scared of it all sometimes"
Says "the rain's gonna wash away, i believe it"

She's got a little bit of something, God it's better than nothing
And in her color portrait world she believes that she's got it all
She swears the moon don't hang quite as high as it used to

And she only sleeps when it's raining
And she screams and her voice is straining

She believes that life is made up of all that you're used to
And the clock on the wall has been stuck at three for days, and days
She thinks that happiness is a mat that sits on her doorway
But outside, it's stopped raining.-

The Tie

Woke up today and I didn't know what day it was,
Checked my alarm and it spelled
"Welcome to the end of the world"

So I turn my head around,
Just to figure out that you're gone
You shivered and got dressed still lacking one round,
And I dreamed of you while being alone

Out of all of the places that I've ever known,
I started to wonder just where you might be
Walking without me, yet not on your own
How many tears until love set us free

And in this room,
I promised myself that I would not cry
Not just the groom you'd expect for such bride

And under this moon,
I promised myself that I'd not let you die
Tonight it's too soon to start counting "goodbyes"

So turn your head around now,
And you might find me at the end of the end of a road
So feed me your heart and the scream it outloud
Say we still have that future that no one could bode

So don't go away, that's your love in a way that I could understood
Let's have it your way, we can call it a tie
And if I never told you the truth
It's cause I probably lied.-

One of many

The last thing I remeber,
Is that I've started to forget
Once upon the coldest night in December
Guess that's when we met



So I figured you were just like the rest,
A lot of romance, and the light of a candle
But then you decided that there was something you liked best,
You were too much of a girl for me to handle



Said "Come with me, I'll show you joy,
We're drawning into the night"
Said "don't be afraid, you little boy,
'Cause I don't (usually) bite"


As the night goes by she stands by the bar,
High heels, blond hair and a golden smile
Said she'd show me heaven if I showed her my car,
I said I'd be pleased if you stayed for a while


And that was, my friend, where the whole deal began
I took the wrong turn under the wrong legs
I guess I was not "that kind of man,
And you were just that kind of girl"

All or nothing

"You've got all that I need

Looking at all or nothing, baby you and I..

With you I know that I'm good for something, so let's go give it a try

We've got our backs against the ocean, it's just us against the world"

- Theory of a Deadman

I Confess..

I confess, I might not be the one
Nor the perfect man, or your "once upon a time"
Still I'll be your love for this life,
Change your dreams, make them mine

And I confess that I don't believe in destiny,
But I do trust,
Most of my favorite uncertanties
Never tend to fade this fast

But I confess darling,
Sometimes I wish I was the best of your bests
Love is the sea where we're drawning
And we couldn't care less

So let's hear one of those many songs
That sound much better by your side
Those who dream of love going strong,
Those who never die

Then you claim "Here's my life,
Let me reborn in your laughter
Show me what's under the sky,
In the land of your happy ever after"

And I cofess "This is where mine begins,
The point where I promised what I'd never forget
Yours were the eyes I once longed to see
Even long before we met"
