Why
Do we still try
We both know
That its damaging
And I
I can’t lie
It’s become
So Exhausting
You and I have nothing left to save
I know you have nothing left to give
Now the last hand has finally played
Then perhaps I’ll finally get to live
Move on
New song
It’s alright
We’re so wrong
Hide
What's here inside
We both know
That we’re hurting
And I
I can’t lie
That a part
Of us Is dying
We’re no longer who we used to be
We can only sit here and reflect
You didn’t mean to do that thing to me
It's clear there is no mutual respect
Now Gone
Our Song
It’s alright
We were so wrong
Why
Do we still try
We both know
That its damaging
And I
I can’t lie
It’s become
So Exhausting
You don't want to be here anymore
There is nothing left for you to prove
Nothings stops you walking out the door
Why is it that you can’t seem to move
Move on
New song
It’s alright
We’re so wrong
Try
Lie
Hide
Why

Loved and Lost

So soft
Was your kiss
Left/lingered long
On my lips
For years, long after, you were taken
You’re young
They all said
Move on,
Warm your bed
You’ll heal, yet they were, so mistaken
Loved and lost, loved and lost, not a game, such a cost,
You’ve passed on, but you left, me here broken.
Loved and lost, loved and lost, grateful even with that cost
For our love was not wasted, just lost
Memories
Love we share
Of days
Not a care
Life was bright, now its lost all it’s colour
As the days
trickle by
I keep
Asking why
We were torn far apart from each other
Loved and lost, loved and lost, not a game, such a cost,
You’ve passed on, but you left, me here broken.
Loved and lost, loved and lost, grateful even with that cost
For our love was not wasted, just lost
Entwined
Love combined
Apart,
hearts do pine
Once joined, fatal bond, cannot sever
Alone
Here I wait
Love gone
Darkest fate
I long, to meet you, in forever
Loved and lost, loved and lost, not a game, such a cost,
You’ve passed on, but you left, me here broken.
Loved and lost, loved and lost, grateful even with that cost
For our love was not wasted, just lost

I can see
That you’re in love with me
I can see
It’s not what you thought it would be
You know me
I’m a concept hard to grasp
You can't see
How we could ever last
Will you Wait for meee
You should wait for mee
I accept
I’m no ordinary girl
I expect
I've changed up your world
Im aware
I've made it all about me
If you stay there
It’ll work out, you’ll see
Can you wait for me?
Will you wait for me?
I admit
I've not been the best girlfriend
I've been a shit
Can see why we come to this end
I've been wrong
To rely on your patience
Wrote this song
To ask for forgiveness
Can you wait for me
I’ll grow up , you’ll see
Do it for you, not me
If you wait for me

You, left me
I didn't realise then
That you set me free
We were so tight
But underneath it all
I felt it wasn’t right
You’d hold me dear
Control the things I did
Began to disappear
Realise with fright
It wasn’t love that kept
You holding me so tight
You chose her
And not me
I’m glad you’re unhappy
You chose her
And not me
Thanks for setting me free
I see you now
I look back at myself
And wonder how
I stayed so long
Thinking you were so right
Clearly I was wrong
You haven’t changed
I see that her life
She has rearranged
I deserve more
Some one who worships me
Someone I can adore
You chose her
And not me
I’m glad you’re unhappy
You chose her
And not me
Thanks for setting me free
You chose her
And not me
I’m glad you’re unhappy
You chose her
And not me
Thanks for setting me free
You Chose her not me
You’re unhappy
That’s fine with me
Because I’m free yeah
You chose her
And not me
I’m glad you’re unhappy
You chose her
And not me
Thanks for setting me free
