Ohio Cold

i can't stay another day alone in this ohio cold.
if i were better behaved would you come back to stay?
it's dark by 6pm.
the single digit temperatures chase away all the warmth i have.
baby, please come home.
you're all i have to hold in this ohio cold.

these nights are wearing me down.
my heart is frozen solid and one more hurtful word from you
my heart will surely shatter;
as things do in this ohio cold.

am i not good enough for you?
you've forgotten me again, haven't you?
why do you run away from me and leave me to cry in this ohio cold?
i'm so tired and my bones ache.
i can't think clearly and you're so calm.
you aren't here suffering with me in this ohio cold.

i can't stay another day alone in this ohio cold.

The Risk

i've sunken down into the depths of despair
down here things aren't clear
i can hear you shouting my name
but you sound a million miles away

you can't carry my baggage anymore
i'm missing the fireworks that went off every time you walked through the door
we got comfortable with each other
that was when we got into trouble

i forgot how sweet you felt between the sheets
and you couldn't remember why you loved me
boredom seeped into the cracks inbetween us
the familiar became bittersweet
and we couldn't keep passion's fire burning in our hearts

finding someone new became all i knew
he couldn't be anything like you
you were the poison and i needed to find the anti-dote
these feeling of escape drove me into reckless escapades
i broke your heart for no reason
i stopped trying and you stopped caring
we broke down 1/2 way down the road

your touch is no longer mine
your kisses go to someone else
i didn't look at you anymore
i just saw right passed you
fog rolled into my thoughts

i saw greener grass on the other side of the fence
but when i got there the grass wasn't what i thought it'd be
i miss you, but i took that risk
no i'm paying the consequence
you're in love and it isn't with me

On The Floor

i meant no harm when i took your arm
i used every one of my many charms
and you fell for me hard.
the sky fell in on us.
we thought forever could never be long enough.
at least until the hormones wore off.

i made a wish it never happened,
but life doesn't work that way.
all my memories pile up on me
and the pain is smothering me.
i lie collapsed and shaking on the floor.

i am not sure how to proceed.
i am unconvincing when it comes to pandering.
i would like to cut to the chase,
but honesty is overrated these days.
i wish i could skip the next few weeks.

hints have been dropped.
game pieces have been assigned.
you have your side and i have mine.
we spin round and round
until i lose my grip.
i lie collapsed and shaking on the floor.

we aren't speaking but we talk.
tension radiates and surrounds us.
every word we don't say is killing me.
how do people live this way?
i'm ready to tap dance right out the door.

i wish i could see the humor in it.
all the world laughs without me.
i killed our love and blamed it on religon.
i had second thoughts.
i blamed all the bad on you.
i feel like a fraud.
i break down and cry.
again, i lie collapsed and shaking on the floor.

Fades Out

love is a miracle.
fold it up like a paper airplane,
throw it into the air to see how far it flies,
but eventually it'll fall out of the sky.

no on can keep the spark alive forever.
love is like the tide, it ebbs and flows.
everyone want to keep the magic in endless supply,
but nobody knows how.
so time kills more then just your body,
it takes a toll on your love.
the heartstrings get out of tune,
and your love song fades out into oblivion.
