So sit your ass on that couch and don't you move a muscle. You're gonna listen to what i've got to say. Now this news I bring to you will only cause more trouble but all your wounds will surely heal with time. I don't know if I can go on living this way. I try and pretend that everything is ok. My conscious eats away at me with every breath I take. And every day that goes by is another lie. I swear that if I had a second chance, I'd do it all different. I wouldn't loose you. We were the best. The best of friends. I take it back. Is it too late to ask for your apology? You just mean too much to me. It's not worth it over this. It was just a stupid kiss. Even though i lost your trust can we still please be best buds? I'll jump off the highest bridge. Just to prove that my friendship matters more than any girl ever will. So don't ignore my phone calls and my threats to end my life. I'll take this blade across my wrist and as I die i'll apologize one last time. I know that you are hurt and i'm sorry that I hurt you. I'm sorry. Is it too late to ask for your apology? You just mean too much to me. It's not worth it over this. It was just a stupid kiss. Even though i lost your trust can we still please be best buds? I'll jump off the highest bridge. Just to prove that my friendship matters more than any girl ever will. So don't ignore my phone calls and my threats to end my life. I'll take this blade across my wrist and as I die i'll apologize one last time. I swear that if I had a second chance I'd do it all different. I wouldn't loose you. We were the best. The best of friends. I take it back. Is it too late?

Bed Of Roses 05:53
I don't ever remember smiling when loosing one I love - is such a fucking mess. We kill each other so romantically. Now witness my heart begin to fall. My knees grow weak I hit the floor. With every word you say it beats my brain consistently. What is love? Is it something we think of when we see two people kissing and holding hands? Is it all what the TV makes it to be? Is it real or is it just a fantasy? All I know is teenage love is sex. Lets roll around in a bed of red roses. I can't do this anymore. My heart's feeling like a whore. Because of love I feel so numb. Because of love i'm giving up. Let's run around this town painting the freshest roses black. To represent the time we spent together. I don't ever remember smiling when loosing one I loved. Let's roll around in a bed of red roses. I can't do this anymore. My heart is feeling like a whore. Because of love I feel so numb. Because of love i'm giving up. Little notes. Inside Jokes. Get it together! Let's run around this town painting the freshest roses black. To represent the time we spent together. Let's roll around in our bed of red roses!

Well my clock is reading 1:18, while my minds repeating memories of those nights when I was once you're everything (and you were once my everything). And I'm thinking about the day you left. I swear I thought I called your bluff but I guess I was wrong. Because now you are gone and i'm scared. She boarded a train to Manhattan and she slept the entire way through. And she cried when she woke cause the heart that she broke was none other then her own. But shortly after she realized that all the pain wasn't worth half the sacrifice of loosing one you care about. But come on, admit it. You were so confusing. There were times when I swear I thought that I was loosing my mind. And it's too late to apologize. Cause in my eyes you're not the same. In every way you've changed. She boarded a train to Manhattan and she slept the entire way through. And she cried when she woke cause the heart that she broke was none other then her own. For now i'll stick to dreaming. Pretend that we have meaning. And when you ask me what's wrong i'll reply "nothing at all." If you could only see that you are my only reason my heart continues beating would you still set me up to fall? Or would I still be here all alone? Or would you still set me up to fall? I know why you had to leave. Your life is based on change so rapidly.

I'm here - the shadow of a man left broken and in tears. Feeling like my heart is missing. You said you care. Then why'd you go and leave me like this? In fear of loving anyone ever again. You've made it clear that you don't care. For now, i'll dig deep to that box that bears your pictures and your letters. And then i'll remember what it feels like to love. To be above the world. My heart is still yours in millions of pieces. You say you still love me then show me you mean it. I'm here - the shadow of a man left broken and in tears. Feeling like my heart is missing. You said you care. Then why'd you go and leave me like this? In fear of loving anyone ever again. You've made it clear that you don't care. For now, i'll dig deep to that box that bears your pictures and your letters. And then i'll remember what it feels like to love. To be above the world.. So now, somehow, I'll get over you. The lies were said. The blood's been shed. I can't forget. I'll die instead. One minute you're here. The next minute you're gone. You say you still love me then show me you mean it.

Left Alone 05:07
She sits alone on a love seat that is made for two and drowns herself in tears. This spot was once filled with a man who appreciated her but that was long ago. She reminisces times when she had someone on her side and she cries. She said: "don't leave. You mean so much to me." He turned his cheek and walked out the door. She said: "don't leave me all alone again." He sits alone in his car that's parked outside her house but he doesn't have the nerve to get out. And he is there because he loves her. But he is scared of rejection. But through that door is just a girl and she's waiting for her prince charming to return to her. She said: "don't leave. You mean so much to me." He turned his cheek and walked out the door. She said: "don't leave me all alone again." He shuts his eyes and starts to drive away. He shuts his eyes but wishes he could stay. She watches from her window and the tears begin to fall. She watches from her window but she knows to let him go. She said: "don't leave. You mean too much to me." She said: "don't leave me all alone again."

It's the way that it's so cold out tonight. Standing naked in the middle of July. It's okay, pull the trigger and leave me there. Run away and let the birds pick out my eyes. I see you have your shooting star aimed straight for my heart. Please send my love to everyone that I have torn apart. There's blinding lights in my eyes and I can't see. Stethoscopes around my throat it's choking me. I'm short of air. I'm sure that there's an explanation for all of this. This world's a sin and I can't appeal to that. It's hard to win when you're always told you can't. It's gotta make a man go crazy - being criticized all the time. But I lie to everyone and say i'm fine. Cover up all the scars on the inside. Feeling shattered like the window that I beat up last night after I was released. The waterfall is on your left but still you choose to go right again. Abandoning the beautiful. Proceeding to an ugly end. So tonight, under moonlight skies I will stare up at the stars and wonder where I belong. Engulfed in the confusion I'll load this empty gun with five bullets for every part of me that's bleeding inside: my mind, my soul my broken heart times three. If I died tonight would anybody care? If i hung myself would you just leave me there? And throw stones at me while you stand on the streets, pointing and laughing at my corpse like I was still breathing? Or would you stop and cry? Now I lay here dead. Now I lay here. And if I died tonight would anybody care? If i hung myself would you just leave me there and throw stones at me while you stand on the streets, pointing and laughing at my corpse? Fuck. Just keep breathing...
