placed

  Others above me

  What did you...

  Do that for

  Feelings don't last

  And the past,

  It will haunt you

  It doesn't always matter

  That someone wants you

  Evermore

 

  We may be together

  Never again

  But I will love you

  Evermore

  Could I Have Back What You Stole from Me

  How can you

  Call yourself innocent

  Do you know

  What you've done

  You started out life

  And never finished it

  You've left me wishin

  That I had a gun

 

  You've given me hope

  And taken it away

  All I really wanted

  Doesn't want to stay

 

  Could I have back

  What you stole from me,

  Most of my heart

  And good memories

  You replaced them

  With pain

  And a lot of agony

  If I'm not yet insane

  I soon will be

 

  You've been with me

  Through most of the good times

  And you've caused me

  Most of the bad

  At least you're leavin

  With a lot of years

  Left in me

  And maybe I'll forget

  One day

  About so many

  Of the feelings I've had

  I want to stop needing you

  I don't want to stay mad

 

  Could I have back

  What you stole from me,

  Most of my heart

  And good memories

  You replaced them

  With pain

  And a lot of agony

  If I'm not yet insane

  I soon will be

 

  I thought you'd carry me

  In hard times

  And thank me for good

  How am I to imagine

  A life without you

  I don't know if I could

 

  Could I have back

  What you stole from me,

  Most of my heart

  And good memories

  You replaced them

  With pain

  And a lot of agony

  If I'm not yet insane

  I soon will be

 

  Can you give me

  Anything back

  I’m Not Alright, but I’m Okay

  I’m not alright,

  But I’m okay.

  You’re gonna leave me alone,

  Anyway.

  I don’t know what might have been,

  But I don’t wanna fight,

  So I let you win.

  I don’t have the heart

  To ask you to stay.

  If you’re even half as miserable as me,

  I’ll let you go.

  You’re gonna miss me a lot

  When you see

  That nothing should have gone this way,

  And I want you to know

  I’m not alright,

  But I’m okay.

  You’re gonna leave me alone,

  Anyway.

  There’s nothing more that I can say

  To convince you this is wrong,

  And all along, you’ve been the one

  To lead me astray

  From all I ever knew

  Because everything I wanted was all in you.

  I’m nothing more than a man dying inside

  For all he’s already lost that’s gone.

  I’m not alright,

  But I’m okay.

  You’re gonna leave me alone,

  Anyway.

  I’m losing my mind.

  No. Wait. It’s lost, and it can’t stay,

  So we split.

  I go the other way,

  Though I’ve tried to bring it back with all my might.

  I’m not ok, and I’m not alright.

  I’m anything but anything, at all, tonight.

  I’m a mess with all the best gone out of sight.

  You left me here to figure out this pain,

  Reliving, re-envisioning, all the blame, all the same,

  Memorizing misery and shame,

  Regretting anything and everything and

  Wanting not even my own name.

  I’m apart, heartless, stripped so far,

  In a pit, in a hole, so down, no climb over height,

  Nothing but numb and not alright.

  I’m not alright,

  But I’m okay.

  You’re gonna leave me alone,

  Anyway.

  Leave me alone, anyway.

  What You Ever Loved Me For

  I don’t know what you were thinkin’,

  Breakin’ up with me on the weekend,

  Like I wouldn’t go out on the town again.

  Now, you try to change your wording,

  Pretending that you’re actually hurting.

  You like to play me at a losing game; I win.

  I cried all I could when you walked out,

  But now, I’ve changed my locks; you’re locked out,

  So don’t come knockin’ down my door.

  I’m past the point of breaking.

  My heart, it’s done it aching.

  It ain’t about to beg for more,

  And I don’t know what you ever loved me for.

  If I could, I would just take off,

  Far away and stay away for my sake; all

  You had to do was love me a little more.

  You couldn’t do it when I gave you

  Every chance to change and even me to save you

  From yourself, but you couldn’t help but me, ignore.

  I don’t know what you ever loved me for.

  Did you ever love me at all,

  Or was I your way of killing time?

  I tried like hell,

  But there was no way to make you mine.

  You’ve only made me blind

  With tears too many to name,

  Though I tried to name them one by one.

  I’m the same but not the same as you,

  And I never saw you as just some fun.

  You were the only one

  And all I could ever want,

  But I was always less than the more

  You should’ve shown to me or

  Given freely, but what did you ever love me for?

  If I could, I would just take off,

  Far away and stay away for my sake; all

  You had to do was love me a little more.

  You couldn’t do it when I gave you

  Every chance to change and even me to save you

  From yourself, but you couldn’t help but me, ignore.

  I don’t know what you ever loved me for.

  If I could, I would just take off,

  Far away and stay away for my sake; all

  You had to do was love me a little more.

  You couldn’t do it when I gave you

  Every chance to change and even me to save you

  From yourself, but you couldn’t help but me, ignore.

  I don’t know what you ever loved me for.

  What did you love me for,

  And what did you say when

  You left through the door?

  It sure wasn’t those three words I always heard

  And wondered if you meant

  Because I was some sick experiment,

  And you were always keeping score,

  Which, I believe, is now 3 and 0

  But this time for good.

  What did you love me for,

  Or did you or think you ever should?

  If I could, I would just take off,

  Far away and stay
away for my sake; all

  You had to do was love me a little more.

  You couldn’t do it when I gave you

  Every chance to change and even me to save you

  From yourself, but you couldn’t help but me, ignore.

  I don’t know what you ever loved me for.

  What did I do to you

  To make you give so much abuse,

  And what did I do all this for?

  What did you ever love me for?
