You're acting like...

You're acting like:
You've never felt my touch, my kiss
You're calm as you handle this
You've never seen me laugh or cry
We've never had to say 'good-bye'
Like we've never said 'hello'
How could you let me go?
Like it isn't hard to walk away
When you told me you were here to stay
Can't you look me in the eye?
Can't you tell me why?
Then you said:
All I want is your touch, your kiss
That's why I can't handle this
You're the one who's seen me laugh and cry
That's why I can't say 'good-bye'
I just want to say 'hello'
I can't let you go
I wish I could just walk away
But I told you I was here to stay
Please don't look me in the eye
You can't see me cry

Don't but do

Don't say it.
But please do.
Don't meant it.
But tell no lies.
Let me love you.
If you want me to.
Don't let me go.
But don't cut any ties.
Don't let it end.
Don't let it go through.
Don't let me fall.
But I can't fly.
Don't say it.
Please do.
Let me fall.
I wont fly.

Look and see

Look into my eyes.
I ask, for once, that you actually see.
See my heart.
See what I put out there.
I put myself, quietly on display.
Loud has never been my thing.
You would see it if you looked.
You would see it if you saw.
Looking without seeing is a sickness.
It doesn't hurt those infected, just the ones they don't see.
Here's the cure:
Look into my eyes.
And for once, actually see.

The Pit I Made

It's so quiet.
It's been so lonely here.
In this pit where I lay, the one I've been digging for years.
I forgot about light long ago, I can't even remember it.
I wouldn't recogonize it if I saw it again.
I've been looking down and looking back so much.
I've forgotten how to look up to find light.
I've been pretending so long that I believe the lie I made.
Now, I sit alone in my filth, slowly dying without a sound.
Down in the depths of the pit I made.

Tell me lies

Please, tell me I'm wrong.
Say I've made a mistake.
Say that you would never do anything like that.
Tell me I've been misinformed.
I don't care if it's a lie.
I just can't handle this truth.
Just lie with me a bit longer.
Just let me pretend that we can move on from this.
I don't care if it's not true.
Just, please, tell me I'm wrong.

Wait.

I've never been patient, no one likes to wait.
But it seems like that's all I seem to do.
I wait.
for love, for salvation.
 Wait for my life to start, for pieces to fall into place.
 I just wait, and hope, and dream.
Waiting.
But like I said, I've never been patient.

The Storm Passing Through (Drip)

Raindrops fall, splash, and drip.
My heart feels the same.
I fell so hard for him, thinking he would catch me.
Then, I splashed, like crashing into reality.
The drops of my heartbreak hitting those close to me.
Now, here I am, the storm is over and I drip.
Slowly, painfully, praying that soon I will be lifted up again.
Drip, drip, drip.
The sound of it echoing through my empty life.
He lefted with the storm, he was just passing through.
Drip, drip, drip.
Please, I need the sunshine, someone to lift me up.
To lift me off the ground of my heartbreak.
The storm passed through long ago
Now where is my sunshine?
Where is my warmth?
Waiting, waiting, waiting.
Drip, drip, drip.
