You're calling me up again, but I don't know why
You act like it's okay, but you know what you've done
Years were lost and years have passed, but it still hurts the same
You still don't understand why I avoid you like the plague
What's to understand?
I don't need you anymore
I don't want you anymore
If you weren't coming back, you could've said it to my face
I needed your guidance, the world's a scary place
Look how far I've come, I made it without you
You're taking back all the things that you said, but
A receipt doesn't cover the decade you were away
Just bite your tongue, there's nothing you can say
You can try as hard as you may now, but you mean nothing
Nothing to me
I'm not going to forgive you because you're so sorry
I'm not going to forget because you really aren't
You can invite me to another one of your playdates every day of the week
But if you really wanna make me happy
Make like a magician and disappear
Put all those years I waited for you to come back underneath my Christmas tree
Maybe then, it'll be more bearable to just look in your direction
Why should I put any effort in when you never did before?
My open arms closed when you last closed the door
If you weren't coming back, you could've said it to my face
I needed your guidance, the world's a scary place
Look how far I've come, I made it without you
You're taking back all the things that you said, but
A receipt doesn't cover the decade you were away
Just bite your tongue, there's nothing you can say
You can try as hard as you may now, but you mean nothing
Nothing to me
You broke us apart, like puzzle pieces
You can come back to try to put us together, but you'll see
The picture it makes is a person who's no longer whole
It makes a picture of what you turned me into
When push came to shove, you abandoned those you loved
If you weren't coming back, you could've said it to my face
I needed your guidance, the world's a scary place
Look how far I've come, I made it without you
You're taking back all the things that you said, but
A receipt doesn't cover the decade you were away
Just bite your tongue, there's nothing you can say
You can try as hard as you may now, but you mean nothing
Nothing to me

Songs I Wrote
PoetryHere are some songs I wrote. The ones that end in (Old Song) are ones I wrote when I was 14. They're not all that good, but I thought it'd be cool to have my old songs here alongside my new ones. I think it shows how much I've changed and improved...
