Tell Me If It's Worth It

I woke up heart beating fast
Check the clock just an hours past
All alone and the stars were bright
These fights always make my night
I can't let you go
Not until you know
Oh baby can't you see
What you're doing is killing me
Shut me out and you turned me away
There were a million things that I could say
You're drunk and lonely just like every other day so
I'll just waste another night away
You woke up laying on the floor
You don't know where you are anymore
You feel at home standing at a streetlight
These parties always make your night
I can't let you go
Not until you know
Oh baby can't you see
What you're doing is killing me
Shut me out and you turned me away
There were a million things that I could say
You're drunk and lonely just like every other day so
I'll just waste another night away

Floating Worlds

At times, I find it hard,
To go on.
Life stands in a blur before me.
But every now and again, I find,
That sound of sweet serenity
Hidden, deep inside
Please blow me a kiss,
I want to feel your lips on mine.
Sniffing perfume bottles,
Could never pass the time.
The scent always wafts away.
Needless to say,
Our hearts always beat in time,
Asking is my mind inside,
Will you always be mine?
And still I feel it,
The world just floats away.

King of Breaking Hearts

Hey señorita, let's skip the names.
I don't have the time for all these stupid games.
In a minute, in a moment I will be gone.
Can I have this dance if it doesn't take too long?
Let's dance till the sun goes down, till the stars come up.
You're the queen of hearts, and I'm the king of breaking 'em.
If you can't keep up, then I'll leave you with the others.
Can you handle me, when my mind's in the gutter?
Well I don't know what you're doing tonight,
But I can blow your mind so don't put up a fight.
Strobe light, smoke machine, I can be what you need.
Take my hand, don't give a damn, I will take the lead.
Let's dance till the sun goes down, till the stars come up.
You're the queen of hearts, and I'm the king of breaking 'em.
If you can't keep up, then I'll leave you with the others.
Can you handle me, when my mind's in the gutter?

Half-Past Noon

I woke up, about half-past noon
I didn't know, what I was gonna do
But I stepped outside,
that's when I saw you
We've been around a time or two
But every time, I'm just missing you
If you go, you'll leave me all black and blue
So when she comes a'knockin
On my front door
The silhouette of my cigarette
Is falling to the floor
I've slept so sleeplessly
I've tried so helplessly
And honestly does anybody else
Know where I've gone wrong?
We've had our ups, we've had our downs
But when you're gone, I wish you were around
So don't leave me here alone
In this dirty old town
I've said my prayers, I'm on my knees
But I know forgiveness is the last thing God'll give to me
But if you try, I'll make it worth your time
So when she comes a'knockin
On my front door
The silhouette of my cigarette
Is falling to the floor
I've slept so sleeplessly
I've tried so helplessly
And honestly does anybody else
Know where I've gone wrong?

Clouds

Sitting on clouds ain't all its cracked up to be,
Ive tried before; you just fall through.
But a friend told me once,
That you don't have to.
I still didnt see.
Can we erase the past?
Forget the bad memories and make the good ones last.
I can't vanquish that horrible feeling
I think it'll kill me,
All too fast.
Face your reality,
You know what you've done
Life's no bed of roses,
Nor is it set in stone.
I thought I had someone,
I could call my own,
But then they escaped my grip,
I need to find a new home.
Run from secrets looming in the trees,
I'll think I'm safe but only you'll see
The truth behind the wall of vines
That gives you strength to bind me with your lies.
Face your reality,
You know what you've done
Life's no bed of roses,
Nor is it set in stone.
I thought iIhad someone,
I could call me own,
But then they left my grip,
I need to find a new home.
Sitting on clouds ain't all it's cracked up to be,
I've tried before you just fall through...

Crooked Heart

Show me just how broken you can be
I'm drowning in the possibilities
It's hopelessly romantic
You're more pacific, and I'm Atlantic
And I might be swept out to sea
How could I forget
The taste of cigarettes
That lingered on your lips
From every melancholic kiss
I'll get this off my chest
Cause this is for the best
And even if it falls apart
I love you, with all my crooked heart
Days go by, then months and years
I'll follow in the footsteps of cavaliers
If these street lights are spotlights
And you're dancing in the rain
We'll watch the stars all disappear
How could I forget
The taste of cigarettes
That lingered on your lips
From every melancholic kiss
I'll get this off my chest
Cause this is for the best
And even if it falls apart
I love you, with all my crooked heart
Show me just how broken you can be
I'm drowning in the possibilities
It's hopelessly romantic
You're more pacific, and I'm Atlantic
And I might be swept out to sea
How could I forget
The taste of cigarettes
That lingered on your lips
From every melancholic kiss
I'll get this off my chest
Cause this is for the best
And even if it falls apart
I love you, with all my crooked heart

Fireplace

Ooh, sit next to me.
Ooh, sit next to me.
Warm your sweet body,
By this candescent fire.
Lets just stay here,
For all eternity.
Ooh, aimlessly.
Ooh, so aimlessly.
Wandering through,
This field of casualties.
Mortal wounds and scars,
Begin to take over me.
Hey tell me baby,
What I need to know.
Its been real rough lately,
Being all alone.
Life can be so peachy.
Till you get dethroned.
When you're living tongue and cheek,
Or just skin and bones.

La Cachette

Open heart surgery
Can't compare to anything I need.
Close your eyes and count to ten,
Hide and seek inside the lion's den.
Everything that I adore,
Is the difference between love and war.
You are still alive and breathing,
I've seen the light behind your eyes.
Long awaited conversations,
The consequence of long goodbyes.
Throw yourself into the sea,
Maybe you'll drift closer to me.
If I make your blood run cold,
My intentions were always gold.
Meet me on the boulevard,
Oh the stars look good from your front yard.
You are still alive and breathing,
I've seen the light behind your eyes.
Long awaited conversations,
The consequence of long goodbyes.
