First song written, Feb/June 2016

lyrics

Take care of yourself and I promise to follow your lead
I've said that enough times to know what the word really means
So I'm sorry I'll stay in this house
And I'm sorry I'll leave you alone
I've locked all the doors but I want you to know that I'm home

Remind me of memories, reasons why we'll never be
The reason you're happy, the reason I can't get to sleep
So tell me your hope didn't fade
I know that I took it away
I feel fine today
I don't deserve to anymore

Somewhere in this night, I swear that I'm all figured out
Then night becomes morning and hope becomes lost on myself
A bird fails to spread its wings
And fly with each song that I sing
It's easy to see that the sky doesn't miss him at all

I don't miss you at all
And I'm telling my mind not to change
I don't miss you
I miss who I was when you were around

Time's ruined everything, I wish it would make me okay
I wish it would fix you, I wish it would ask you to stay
I'm not saying I'm coming outside
But I'm aching to turn on a light
Let's pretend that you're lonely and pretend that I need you tonight

Disappointment and I, faults that are better unfound
With your hands and mine we can count all the times that I let you down
I just want you to look at me
And see what I wish I could be
It's easy to see that your smile doesn't miss me at all

I don't miss you at all
And I'm telling my mind not to change
I don't miss you

I just want you to look at me
And see what I wish I could be
I just want you to look at me
Just see me as beautiful
I wish I was beautiful

It's easy to see that the sky doesn't miss him at all
