Broken Strings

Let me hold you for the last time
It's the last chance to feel again
But you broke me, now I can't feel anything

When I love you and so untrue
I can't even convince myself
When I'm speaking it's the voice of someone else

Oh, what are we doing?
We are turning into dust
Playing house in the ruins of us

Running back through the fire
When there's nothing left to say
It's like chasing the very last train
When it's too late, too late

Oh, it tears me up
I tried to hold on but it hurts too much
I tried to forgive but it's not enough
To make it all okay

You can't play our broken strings
You can't feel anything
That your heart don't want to feel
I can't tell you something that ain't real

Oh, the truth hurts and lies worse
How can I give anymore
When I love you a little less than before?

But we're running through the fire
When there's nothing left to say
It's like chasing the very last train
When we both know it's too late, too late

Oh, the truth hurts and lies worse
So how can I give anymore
When I love you a little less than before?
Oh, you know that I love you a little less than before

Let me hold you for the last time
It's the last chance to feel again

Photographs And Memories

I keep your picture by my bed for when I'm feeling sad
And I don't know why I would be
The way your smile looks so real
It feels like I could start to understand your grace
But I don't understand why you're not here with me
And I don't even wanna know where else you'd be

Cause I have photographs and memories of the times
When you weren't on my mind and I was alone
And I have poetry and drawings of my life
When you weren't on my side and I didn't know
Just what is love...

Writing moments on the wall with different colors
Keeps my mind away from missing you
And I can't wait to fall asleep to slip into my dreams
Where we can dance upon a star..
And I will be as patient as a boy in love could ever be
And I don't feel like I was real until you were a part of me

Cause I have photographs and memories of the time
When you weren't on my mind and I was alone.
And I have poetry and drawings of my life
When you weren't on my side and I didn't know
Just what is...

I need you back, I need you back
I need you here
I need your smile, I need your eyes
I need you dear
Every line on your face makes a beautiful maze
For my eyes to trace

I have photographs and memories of the times
when you weren't on my mind and I was alone...

The Best Is Yet To Come

Someday in the future
I will, for sure, hold it in my hands
It will softly set ablaze
A light in my empty heart

The impulses that makes you wanna meet it
The innocence that makes you wanna cry
They've gone into summer fire
The fireflies aren't coming back

You didn't say a single word
Left behind a kiss for me
And nodded as you still got burned
It was so sad, my life was wavering

My true, one and only
I can also see you right now
The dazzling moon will softly
Illuminate the morning day

Someday in the future
I will, for sure, hold it in my hands
It will softly set ablaze, a light in my empty heart
And strongly, strongly shine on

Broken

The broken clock is a comfort
It helps me sleep tonight
Maybe it can stop tomorrow
From stealing all my time
And I am here still waiting
Though I still have my doubts
I am damaged at best
Like you've already figured out

The broken locks were a warning
You got inside my head
I tried my best to be guarded
I'm an open book instead
And I still see your reflection
Inside of my eyes
That are looking for purpose
They're still looking for life

I'm hanging on another day
Just to see what, you will throw my way
And I'm hanging on, to the words you say
You said that I will, will be okay
The broken light on the freeway
Left me here alone
I may have lost my way now
But I haven't forgotten my way home

I'm falling apart
I'm barely breathing
With a broken heart
That's still beating
In the pain
There is healing
In your name
I find meaning
So I'm holding on
Barely holding on to you
Barely holdin on to you
