1.
Please don't let this moment end I'll be a fool who knows when He should call it but doesn't Not with his hand tangled in yours I'll be your fool this April A joke would be too cruel
2.
Like mother, Like daughter, I chug down the water and keep it down in my guts, in my stomach, but my mouth is still running and can't be found near your mouth hold me down Like mother, Like daughter, we're awfully cozy on this couch and your arms and your shoulders, you've forced me to notice my arms around and I'll hold you now and I'll kiss your mouth and I'm sad to go but I'll see you soon
3.
The worst things come in threes but 2 out of 3 isn't bad Maybe the worst has come to me I've been out of it We've made our apologies but nothing we do is gonna change Maybe the message isn't clear but I've been up and out of range This is the best we'll ever be already left enough to chance I'm trying to wake and get to sleep so maybe I won't be so out of it
4.
Another hour, another minute another happy, conversation I spend all my time thinking of lines to make you smile and I’d like to spend my time here by your side finding ways to save the world Another book read, another movie another best friend, if you’re recruiting Another first love, should I be scared of Another first love, should she be scared of
5.
Well it's just not fair that I couldn't stay even ghosts I suppose take a holiday But what if I was right to be angry at myself for fucking everything up If I leave my post now What the hell was it all about? I'll spend 500 years before I find out
6.
Filling every date Calendar days Page after page Stage after stage A little room to breath a tiny square for me They all want a piece And I want to sleep But hands on my keys like the hands on my leash
7.
I am just a template for everyone you'll ever date I better set the bar low so you're always moving upwards Its the curse of being the first of being the worst of being the hurt I am just a template for every asshole you'll ever meet But even they will be better than me I have no self esteem
8.
I wanna stay inside and out of the sunlight I'd rather hear Langley than traffic and sirens And I'll see you only you but there's a whole city I'll have to wade through I'm the worst tight rope walker You're setting up nets and I refuse to step forward And I'll see you only you But if you don't want me why am I half the way through?
9.
Why can't we just say it We're two adults here or that's how it appears Did I ruin the moment Did I step out of line certainly not the first time There's nothing we have to do but why stop before we're through You do what you feel you have to Why can't I just stay beside you Why cant I have what I want Maybe I'm undeserving Maybe it's time I start running
10.
I'm all caught up on my sleep all my comics and reading And here's the sun maybe catch a little ray beam before I go back into hiding Maybe I'll see my darling my love in the city Maybe I'll walk in the dark see the Vigilante and then its back into hiding
11.
I'm not anyone's cup of tea and if I'm anything to you It's only in my dreams I wasn't always who I wanted to be but if I'm anything less It's only in my dreams If I get up again Who will I be? Someone who wakes up next to you? Only in my dreams
12.
I've watched another year slide by Happy belated, happy best friends, and goodbyes I'll be coming back to this one It stung and it hurt and I cried but only for a moment cleared the dust from my eyes It's all for the best and I am the best I've ever been
13.
Don't tell me you don't want to see me Come on baby, know that you're teasing I say everything that you're thinking I say anything that you're needing I know I'll show You what comes after we end I lose, you lose but you're still winning but tonight I'll be the one grinning even with the blood clearly thinning This is just the beginning
14.
Not sure what's happened Don't know where you went Guess I was hoping that I wasn't choking but I am The spark is gone You said you wouldn't get tired of me I suppose its true that's why you're running from me now
15.
I do not sleep anymore only blacking out on the floor like I did before Have to lay in the dark trying not to think about How to get a handle on who is gonna hold me now If you wanted to call me just to hear me breathing just to hear what I'm thinking I will leave it on the answering machine I'm out now total knock out anxiety has defeated me this round I'm out now total knock out picking up my teeth when I come around
16.
I can't tell for the life of me Miss you for you or intimacy Why does it matter cue actors, canned laughter Over and over till the tv shatters Familiar history history my heart will still be the death of me
17.
You never seemed to mind my hands over your body but suddenly your 'love' is just a tacky emoji We're breakin records but its suddenly old news latest edition of my abandonment issues I know its my responsibility but can't you see what this is doing to me I always like to put my best foot forward when I am running away Its nothing personal your couch is way too cold I've got no reason to stay The best damn day that I ever had I can't recall but you can have it back At least I let you down before our clothes had ever hit the floor
18.
On the other side of a couple of beers, hours of sleep I could work this out a few miles in, this cave is deep Why don't we just call her and find out what the hell's your problem and if she's got an answer I would not bother trying to tell him About a mile high and writhing beneath your sheets "I'd go anywhere" I would lie between your teeth
19.
Haven't we got enough to do instead of picking up pieces of you we lay them out on the floor and they shape themselves in the form of your doom We have got the heartache that you're always reeling from We have got the bad news that you're always caught up on Haven't you done enough to you haven't you shattered your bones and shook them loose rearranged on the floor watch them spell different words till we're bored
20.
I put my arms around you to keep you calm It didn't make a difference but you never told me what was wrong I'm not about to break this silence that's grown between us but I'd be lying if I said I didn't wish it was different If I was right all the time I'd rewrite time to make you mine If I was right all the time Love and greed would make me blind
21.
If you give me a minute I'll be okay gotta keep these feels all locked away If I could just forget I'd be okay Take a sledgehammer and whack my brains I would like to just forget everything I wish I was a better human being I can say that I'll force a smile but my face would crack after a short while Shoot some happy thoughts into my veins Hammer nails into my ugly face Maybe then I'll keep this smile in place Real life emoticon a permanent happy face
22.
Just so you know I know I'm ridiculous And I am aware There's surely no cure for this But maybe I'm starting to like it Im not sure that I know Why I wont let this go Ive worked out my guilt And Ive let go of hope You're just the best soul that Ive ever known Or perhaps just the first that would let me in close If I could change things I know that I wouldn't You have moved on just Like anyone should Id like to shut myself Down if I could Traditions and standards Just do me no good Raising a kid, in a marriage for two Realistically I'll never do It just sounded nice is all When you asked if Id rather have a boy or a girl
23.
Cant I just sleep Forever Cant I forget Why must I remember Why do I have to keep it together Surely there must Be someone better Surely Ill be That someone you need That someone I need To be Surely Ill be The whatever the hell After I get more sleep
24.
You looked like a sunflower leaning tall against the wind and I could see clearly why he's such a lucky git And it comes as no surprise this is exactly what I get For all the flowers I stomped I will forever be eating shit
25.
I'd like to lay you down and lay a kiss atop your head For once I'd like to be the friend you always needed You're my first call I'd like the same designation
26.
I could be a better friend if I could easily change my head Shake out all the cobwebs and fix whatever's left Ive been a lousy friend selfish and ignorant and you are the better one for putting up with it I could be a better person if I let go of feeling worthless and held onto positive change for a change
27.
I did it, I did it meaning in the meaningless moments meaning this is over, I chose this I get it, I get it meaning in the meaningless moments meaning its whatever, I have chosen to end this now
28.
I need to know what you need I need to know what you want I need to hear you say it There is no right or wrong I need to understand I need to know what it means You're speaking volumes when you're not speaking to me If you want this I need you to know this Nothing gonna happen til you say What you want? What you want? Don't you want anything at all
29.
Its not as simple, as staying quiet but sometimes it feels like we die or we riot Ive seen your true face, its not so pretty anymore and now you'll see mine, but all you'll see is an animal And you should keep your mouth shut, hands by your side wear the face of your victim, so there's somewhere to hide in the crowd, on the screen, working hard by the gaslight perpetuating monsters in perpetual twilight You call us bad civilians You say we're less than human I see that change is coming so why are the "righteous" running
30.
I will be your blowup doll Just fill me up with all your problems Yank me from the closet When you're lonely, bored or on the rebound Fuck me full of sad feelings You'll never ever have to clean There's no need to worry about me All your needs are guaranteed If you need to plug a hole Fill it up with alcohol Deflate me, leave me, never call I'll still be your blowup doll

about

This is Volume 5 of my 365/Song A Day challenge which will be finished on December 5th, 2015.

This was inspired by a need to write and express myself during a tough time in my life and by a heart-shaped box filled with love notes.

These songs are my notes for her and notes for myself to keep track of this journey that I'm on.

I don't expect anything to come of it. I don't expect anyone to like it. I'm just hoping to feel better once it's all over...
