Replacing You

You look so young in that picture
It’s quite funny seeing you smile
Because the last memory I have of you
You were crying
You had your life in your hands
You said I was worthless and you walked out the door
It’s the last memory that I have of you
I didn’t think that I would remember you some way else

I wouldn’t have come across this picture
If it wasn’t for the fact that my new love
Said I needed to clean out my life
So I did and I came across it
But it has no meaning towards me
Because I’ve replaced you
Replacing you was easy
Because she is the best

We were happy once
Well that was once
Now you are just a memory

Replacing you
Finding someone better
Someone who makes me happier
Making my heart feel alive
Not feeling ashamed of who I am
And knowing that the girl I’m with
Is nothing like you

You tore me down
You shared my flaws with the world
I never met your standards
But no one can ever meet yours
It’s a list of demands that no one can give you
So you have fun with that
I’m replacing you with someone with fewer demands

I know that you wish me misery
You want to be the better one here
But it isn’t happening is it
I’ve been happy
My heart can finally beat again
It doesn’t need your approval anymore
I’m free like a bird
I’m happier without you
So this little photo doesn’t mean anything
Replacing it with a picture of my new relationship
You were just a learning experience

Replacing you
Finding someone better
Someone who makes me happier
Making my heart feel alive
Not feeling ashamed of who I am
And knowing that the girl I’m with
Is nothing like you

I in small sense wish I could know how you are doing
Wondering if you got all your demands
Or if you were disappointed
It doesn’t matter to me
I look at the new love
I know replacing you
Actually it’s not replacing you
Because she is nothing like you

She loves me for me
She means the world to me
I’m not replacing you
I’m falling for the soul mate
So hopefully you find what you’re looking for
But now you’re just a memory
And a learning experience

Don't Be Afraid

This isn’t the time to be scared
I know that you want to be safe
But darling you can’t anymore
You have to give me a leap of faith
You have to trust me
You can’t have doubts
Please trust me and stay
Don’t go thinking that it will solve anything
Don’t be afraid

I know that I have my moments
Where I can seem like a monster
I will admit that I have an anger side
A different person comes over me
But I can’t lose you
Don’t be afraid of me
Because I can’t lose you
I can’t see you walk out that door

Please let the fears go away
Please stay
Because I love you and only you

Don’t be afraid
We can work on us
I want you to stay
I know that I can’t be trusted
But you need to
Just give me a leap of faith
Let me show you that I love you

It all started out perfect
Doesn’t that how the story goes
Boy likes girl
They fall in love
They are happy
But once the first bump comes
They are ready to run
But I’m not running anywhere
So don’t do the same to me

I know that I screamed
I know that I said things I can’t take back
But baby you are everything to me
And I just can’t lose you over this
I will do anything for you
And you know that
I’m still that guy
You fell for in the coffee shop

So don’t leave
Don’t be afraid of me
Just give me a chance to

Don’t be afraid
We can work on us
I want you to stay
I know that I can’t be trusted
But you need to
Just give me a leap of faith
Let me show you that I love you

Give me a leap of faith
Stay here
You know you won’t regret it
We have to prove
That we truly love each other
We can’t just run at the first bump
So don’t be afraid
Come back to me
And don’t run away

We Smile

My dear sweet dear
Can you please get rid of that frown?
Can you please put on a smile?
I know that you are upset right now
I know this day isn’t going your way
But just listen to me
If you smile then things will get better
Just have faith that it will

This world is a blank canvas
It’s all up to you to add the colors
Don’t fill it with black and grey
Fill it with crazy colors and mix them together
Let’s paint a picture of funny faces
Maybe we should paint us
As we smile and be happy together

Doesn’t that sound fun?
Well you can’t do that if you’re frowning
So let’s smile together

We smile
We are happy and not sad
Let’s not have a colorful canvas
Not one that should be dark
Let’s smile
And let the problems go away

I know that he broke your heart
You don’t deserve that
I understand
But life isn’t about all the sad moments
It’s about the happy moments
It’s about remembering the good time
So let’s make some as we smile

I know that diamonds seem tempting
But let’s just walk away from them
Let’s enjoy the warmth of the sun
The snow might clean you out
But you shouldn’t escape from it
You should smile and enjoy everything around you
We smile and it can help us
Move on from every problem

I don’t want to see you hurt
I don’t like you being in pain
So let’s smile and not be

We smile
We are happy and not sad
Let’s not have a colorful canvas
Not one that should be dark
Let’s smile
And let the problems go away.

So don’t let the small bumps in the road
Ruin the joy of living
So how about we smile together
We smile because we are forgetting our problems
We smile because we want to enjoy life
We smile because we know no matter what
We can always smile and forget about all of our problems.

Waste of Time

I spent too many nights crying over you
I spent too many nights hoping you would come back
Hoping that you would say it was a nightmare
Saying baby I love you and I will never leave
I’m here to stay and that’s how it’s going to be
I wish and hoped that it was true
I wanted this nightmare to be over
But I knew I needed to wake up from this nightmare

I loved you
But you’re a waste of time now
I can’t cry anymore for you
I know that I’m better off without you
You have played too many games
You said too many promises that you never kept
I know you are just someone of the past
And right now my present deserves better

So leave me alone
Don’t waste your time
Because I’m not going to waste mine

Waste of Time
That’s all you are to me.
I’m happier and that’s how it’s going to stay
I loved you once, but never again
I know that my heart will move on
You are just someone who I loved
And just a memory that I want to forget

You tell me over and over again how you want to be with me
Does your love know that you have been calling me?
Do they know that you still say I’m the one?
I bet they don’t and that’s why you’re a waste of time
You can never be honest
It’s all just games to you
And I’m done with the games
I want a serious relationship

I’m happy now
The grass is greener for me here
So keep saying that I’m miserable
Well that’s not true
And it’s never going to be again
I cried so many tears
I pleaded so many times with you
I was just a trophy to you
Well I’m getting out of your showcase

So keep your words to yourself
My breathe is no longer yours
I know that you’re just a waste of time

Waste of Time
That’s all you are to me.
I’m happier and that’s how it’s going to stay
I loved you once, but never again
I know that my heart will move on
You are just someone who I loved
And just a memory that I want to forget

I did love you and I won’t deny that
There are still feelings here for you
And they will be here for a while
But I know that you are not the one for me
I know that they are still out there for me
You just are a memory in the past
And now you’re a waste of time
I want to forget you
I’m moving on with my life.

Frozen In Time

We were so happy together

We were under each other’s spells

We couldn’t have been happier together

But it’s now all over

We both have gone on our own

And now all we have is piles and piles

Of photos that hold on our memories

Too bad we can’t be like those photos



You had a smile that could light up the whole world

It was what made me fall in love with you

And it is the reason that I can’t let go of you

I see the necklace that I gave you for Christmas

It’s wrapped around your neck

It has our initials on it

We thought we were going to be together forever

Now that necklace is in the corner growing dust



I wonder if you wish

That we could just be

Frozen in time



Frozen in time

To all those perfect moments

Where those photos were our life

And not just moments in it

Where the right now never happened

And we never ended

Let’s be statues in those moments



We were so in love

I can see the light in our eyes

We thought we were the it couple

Nothing was going to tear us apart

Maybe that’s what destroyed us

Because we so in love

That we didn’t see it slowly going away



We thought it was perfect

But it was a mirror of lies

We were both drifting apart

Our needs were slowly changing

And we stayed together because

We both didn’t want to admit that

We weren’t perfect for each other

We were just moments in each other’s lives

We thought we were going to last

But sadly we didn’t

I just want to go back to those moments

Where we thought we were going to



Frozen in time

To all those perfect moments

Where those photos were our life

And not just moments in it

Where the right now never happened

And we never ended

Let’s be statues in those moments



I look at our photos and wish

We were still taking them right now

These photos are us frozen in time

And I wish we could be like a photo

I want us to go back to that

Never changing

We would still be together in love

Joy Of Writing

Every day there is inspiration all around me
There is something that inspires me
To write a crazy song or story
Something that I always love to do
Something that I will never lose
It’s the joy of writing
That I will never lose

You can sit there and read the words that I have written
Tear it apart
Say that it’s the worst thing that that you have read
Say that I should just give up on what I do
Well it’s the joy that I feel from writing
And you can’t take that from me
It’s something that I will always have

It’s all for me and no one else
I know it’s selfish
But you can’t take the joy of writing from me

Joy Of Writing
The feeling you feel after
You finish writing a song or a book
Tear down all my work
Well I say fuck you
Because you can’t ruin this for me

I’ll sit right in front of my laptop
Play something anything I don’t care
I’ll let the insanity inside of me take over
Because insanity is the beauty of creativity
I’ll admit that I’m crazy
Because being normal is something I won’t
Ever want to be

I think it’s funny when you say that everything I do is dumb
You say I won’t go anywhere
I should just give up on my dreams
Well who asked you?
Because I’m pretty sure I’m doing something with my life
I’m pretty sure I can stand by my life
And I can have joy knowing I’m doing this
Because I love it

I don’t need your approval
I don’t need your advice
You can give me your opinions
On how I feel about what I do

Joy Of Writing
The feeling you feel after
You finish writing a song or a book
Tear down all my work
Well I say fuck you
Because you can’t ruin this for me

I know that I can make mistakes
I know that you feel a thrill for tearing me down
But yet it won’t happen.
I won’t let anyone steal the joy of writing from me
Because it’s something that only I can feel
And no one can take that from me.

Goodbye to you

You want this to be a romantic song
You want me to tell you all the sweet things
All the things that you do right
Well honey that isn’t going to happen here
I have no nice things to say
All I want to do
Is say goodbye to you
And get you out of my life

Our love has sadly dried out like a river
There is no fire here anymore
We are just two strangers
Locked in four walls hoping to be together
But sadly I’ll sit on this side
And you can sit on that side
I just don’t want anything anymore with you

I can seem harsh
But darling you are the queen of mean
Sitting there on the throne tearing everyone apart

Goodbye to you
Goodbye to all the things you have done
The games, manipulation, and the lies
I like the other side of the fence
It doesn’t have you there
I’ll be the one that will say the reality here

You want to keep going on this fantasy
How can we keep this up if were both cheating?
Don’t give me that look of shock
You threw it in my face when we fought
And I kissed the random girl in front of your face
We both enjoy hurting each other
It’s the only thing we have done together lately

I know that we both are on our own little thrones
Looking around at our peasants
Causing havoc together, but were destroying each other
So I’m saying goodbye to you
I’m going to be a better person
I know it seems like it would ever happen
But it won’t if I’m still with you

I want to be better
I want to make sure I can look in the mirror
I have to prove that I have a heart

Goodbye to you
Goodbye to all the things you have done
The games, manipulation, and the lies
I like the other side of the fence
It doesn’t have you there
I’ll be the one that will say the reality here

I’m the king with no heart
You’re the queen with ice as a soul
We should be together, but it can’t be done
Goodbye to you
I need to be a better person
I need to be with someone I love
I can’t be with you anymore
Hate me and say all you want
But I’m going to give
The other side of the fence a try
