I still tumble for you

I’m not gonna wait around
For you to change your mind
Not gonna chase the ghost
That you left behind
I’m not gonna wait to see
If you come back around for me
Not gonna waste my time
On no foolish misery...
Still I don’t know why
I keep thinking of you
I keep looking down the road
Hoping I might find you
I can’t tell you why
I’m writing these words for you
I guess I can’t deny
That I still tumble for you...

But I’m not gonna wait around
To see what you decide
Not gonna take revenge
On the love I’ve been denied
Not gonna hope and pray
You come begging on your knees
Not gonna conjure up your face
From my drunken memories...
Still I don’t know why
I keep a pillow empty for you
I keep looking down the hall
Hoping I might find you
I can’t tell you why
I’m writing poems for you
I guess I can’t deny
That I still tumble for you...

we're not lovers anymore...

We’re not lovers anymore...
We’re not waiting for each other
Behind half opened doors

We’re not friends anymore...
I can’t make you laugh
when I find you crying on the floor

We’re not acquainted anymore...
We wont smile or be friendly
if we run into each other at the store

And we’re not even strangers anymore...
I’ve resumed living the life
That I was living before....

what does she want?

What does she want?
Why is she looking for me?
I’ve got nothing to give her
But my insanity...
And haven’t I wasted
Enough of her time?
She chose her life
So let me live mine...
We said all the things
That we had to say
What was left of our love
We threw it away...
So what does she want?
Has she come back for more?
She can’t break this heart
I’m not the same as before...
I don’t want to listen
And I don’t want to be cruel
Just leave me alone
You already made me the fool...
So what is the reason?
What the hell could it be?
That she’s come back around
Looking for me?
