Just as Well

I have no heart to satisfy

I am what I've made myself

Time, I find, tries to pass me by

So fast, if nothing else,

My life's a lie

I have nothing good left

But the rest, I guess, isn't worth it

The best I possess

Is a pain that hurts me

What there is, I cannot tell

But that's what I expect, so just as well

Haunting me with open arms

Grasping my all to suck me in

Terror fills my mind so darkly

Wondering if the loss is worth what we win

If you could tell me what to feel or what to give

Maybe I could finally learn to live

I have nothing good left

But the rest, I guess, isn't worth it

The best I possess

Is a pain that hurts me

What there is, I cannot tell

But that's what I expect, so just as well

What I've had since before I fell

Steal my soul, drain my life

I have no control so I can't feel alive

I have nothing good left

But the rest, I guess, isn't worth it

The best I possess

Is a pain that hurts me

What there is, I cannot tell

But that's what I expect, so just as well

I'm screaming inside but no one hears me yell

I'm dying so slowly

Why can't it kill me

I'm trying to know me

But no one does really

I'm the kind to fall in line

And quickly give up and fall behind

Lose everything to gain so little

Attempt to build myself but break

With a will so brittle

I have nothing good left

But the rest, I guess, isn't worth it

The best I possess

Is a pain that hurts me

What there is, I cannot tell

But that's what I expect, so just as well

I have nothing good left

But the rest, I guess, isn't worth it

The best I possess

Is a pain that hurts me

What there is, I cannot tell

But that's what I expect, so just as well

I have the time

When I can sometimes grab it

You could be mine

But what I have left, will you have it

Or will you leave me cold and lonely

Feeling the same as always, broken open

And knowing that I'm all I have only

I have nothing good left

But the rest, I guess, isn't worth it

The best I possess

Is a pain that hurts me

What there is, I cannot tell

But that's what I expect, so just as well

It's just as good

I don't see anything like they say I should

I cannot breathe 

I cannot hear

Except everything that causes me fear

I cannot change

I cannot be

Anything you ever thought of me

But the worst you never need

Now I know I never knew that you

Would treat me so badly, the way you do

I have nothing good left

But the rest, I guess, isn't worth it

The best I possess

Is a pain that hurts me

What there is, I cannot tell

But that's what I expect, so just as well

It's just for now

I will only be around as long as you allow

I have nothing good left

But the rest, I guess, isn't worth it

The best I possess

Is a pain that hurts me

What there is, I cannot tell

But that's what I expect, so just as well

Just as much, just as well

Forever or just this once, just as well

Just Like Today

Who knew

I'd miss you

So much

That the only peace I'd get

Is fallin rain

Those short moments long ago

Weren't long enough

And the long ones alone

Just aren't the same

It was all

Just like today

Every breath I take is empty

And all the tears in me

I used to cry

Felt like a flood

Washin over me

Feelin like I would die

All hope's gone away

Because everything's just like today

I met the girl of my dreams

Who said she'd always stay

And every moment since she left

Has felt just like today

Rainy and cloudy

Miserable as I feel

The weather, at least,

Lets me know

That feelin so bad is real

Every breath I take is empty

And all the tears in me

I used to cry

Felt like a flood

Washin over me

Feelin like I would die

All hope's gone away

Because everything's just like today

Everything's blurry

But everything's gray

Everything's unassuring

Just like today

Just like today

It's all nothing

So much, it must be

Completely dark this way

Unloving, ugly

Empty, coming

To the point

You have to say

Make it go away

Every breath I take is empty

And all the tears in me

I used to cry

Felt like a flood

Washin over me

Feelin like I would die

All hope's gone away

Because everything's just like today

Everything's plenty

Of nothing but memories

Of all that's gone to shame

So much like today

Just like today

Couldn’t Give Enough

Did you know 

You still have my heart

No matter where all you've been

You left, too afraid it would fall apart,

Too afraid you might let me in

Tell me, where have you gone

Now that you've given up

Why'd you take somethin so right

And turn it so wrong

Did you not give

Cuz you couldn't give enough

What is it you thought it would mean

The two
