Returning an Unwanted Favor

it's okay dear, all your tears have been cried.
it's okay here, we've dumped your fears to the past.
no one knows the way home.
stars shoot across the blackened sky
just like the fire light that dances then dies.

you trapped yourself up on a pedastool.
i knew you'd never admit defeat.
i captured the whole fiasco on tape.
i had to prove to you he was more then you could take,
but i received hate instead of thanks.

it's okay dear, i get it.
it's okay here, i already forgave you.
no one knows their fate.
dogs howl at every moon,
just like you fall in love with every fool.

i was here before too, hooked on lies.
blue eyes that hypnotize,
you pulled me to safety before i drowned.
you had to prove to me i was wrong
and i never said thank you,
but i'm returning the unwanted favor now.

it's okay dear, i won't let you drown.
it's okay here, there's always tomorrow to find another happily ever after.

Dead Horse

i got another call from you.
i didn't say much.
i didn't listen either.
you've said it all before.
there's no point in beating my dead horse.

it's akward and it'll stay that way.
i'm not being difficult.
it's the way i feel.
i can't change my emotions on a dime.
i can't turn my love off then on like a light switch.
the only cure here is time.

you keep reaching out to me.
i deleted your number off of my phone.
i'm not bitter,
but depression is now my home.
your voice is painful to me
and it used to brighten my day.

if i spoke up you'd say i'm petty
funny, you never could tell me i was pretty.
criticism was always easier for you,
but i'm no longer a volunteer.
i have to disengage myself from you
or be drowned to death from my pain.

next time you call i won't pick up.
i know you'll think i suck.
i was never good at driving in reverse.
so in theory, yes, i'm your friend,
but i think it's time i bury this dead horse.

Irony

oh, what am I going to do?
i am falling in love with you.
my stomach is knotting up.
my head is spinning from
all these thoughts of you;
but it's complicated.
i know you don't feel the same.
i'm your friend.
oh, what am I going to do?

you are perfect for me.
it's unfortunate you love her
and you aren't in love with me.
our conversations are the highlight of my day.
the friend in me wants you to be happy
with whomever that might be,
but my heart is selfish and wants you
all to myself.

i tell you i hope it works
between the 2 of you,
but my heart screams
please let her dump him!
i feel bad but good when he says
he's afraid it's over with her.
my smile is fixed.
my supportive words rehearsed.
i'll be a good friend,
just to keep hearing your voice.

oh, what am i going to do?
i am falling in love with you.
please screw it up somehow,
please let me find a fatal flaw.
please let me be turned off by him,
instead i want to ravage him.
if there's any balance or sense
of fairness in the universe
let him fall in love with me.
oh, what am i going to do

Think of Me

If you’re tired, down, and sad
Just think of me
If you’re cranky, mad, and bad
Just think of me
Think of me as your friend
That one person there through thick and thin
The shoulder to cry on
The one to tell you to move on
The one to coax you to smile
And to tell you tomorrow will be better

If you’re sick of the hassle
If you’re sick of the bustle
Just think of me
If you’re fed up
If you’re giving up
Just think of me
Think of me as your friend
The one to keep you going
The one to be there till the end
The person you can talk to
The one that loves your for you

If the world’s closing in
Just think of me
If you feel ugly and blue
Just think of me
Think of me as your friend
Tried and true
The one to lean on
The one to trust
The one to laugh with
And the one to fuss over you

True friends are few and far between
So please don’t forget about me

A Friend Named Angel

i once had a friend named angel
she could be sweet as heaven
she ended up being the devil
i met my daughter's father
hanging out with her
i told her everything about me
even what i didn't know
she turned on me and i was lost

the sweetest angel in heaven
versus the angel i knew
the bloody battle would draw
a crowd of gawkers
but i know who has lost and who has won
i have my baby and that's all that matters

the games we play some enjoy more then others
that laugh and smile angel had
charmed so many until they were blinded
i was one but the glass shattered
when she told so many lies about me
there was no truth for her to uphold
i was happy and she wasn't
that's all the motive she required
to spread her poison from ear to ear

i once had a friend named angel
she could be sweet as heaven
she ended up being the devil.
