Words Are The New Weapon

sweepmeoffmyfeet:

You got on a plane
I don’t know where you’ve gone
For nights I was hoping
Waiting for your call

But where are you now?
Have you become a star?
And what if that freak has stolen your heart?
Have you changed now?
Are we worlds apart?
And what if I had you back in my arms?

I’ve been traveling the world
And I found you in LA
It’s surprising what 5 months
did to your face

Dark dresses like a diva
Sunglasses covering your eyes
The high heels tell a story
While the coat hides the lies

I know where you’re now
You’re like a falling star
Where have that freak gone with your heart?
You have changed now?
We are worlds apart
I don’t know if I want you back in my arms?

I saw you getting drunk
At the small local bar
You know these walls have eyes
Big mistake on your part

Now the headlines are like bullets
And your freaky shield ran away
Some armors are difficult to maintain
While the makeup runs down your face

What will you do now?
You’ll always be my star
And can this freak steal your heart?
You have changed now
We are worlds apart
But what if I had you back in my arms?

She came like summer breeze
So new she gave me chills
Summer nights dancing free
But then fate came to claim its prize
Empty hands one more time
Right or wrong, it’s all I’ve got

I think I’ve lived this before
One more summer love gone

Those three words came from the heart
They didn’t get us together, they just tore us apart
Why did you only think of yourself?
Well I hope you know it all hurt like hell

And I don’t know why I am here tonight
Hurting my fingers with your words
Writing lines with all your lies
This is for the whole world to know
That bitter love was just the start
These lines you won’t understand
But “All of me” you won’t get to have

This is something I thought I’d never do
I’m burning my lyrics with every thought of you
I need to clear my thoughts
I need to clean my soul

Everything you did, I need to erase
All the memories, I will forget

I’m burning the songs that I still can’t sing
I just can’t make myself believe
That this was nothing, that this is over
Because you are and will always be my only lover

I will never let you see my tears
Just like I never let you know my fears
And here’s one truth:
I’m grateful for not having shown so much to you.

I just wanna find my heart
I just wanna know if I, if I ever cross your mind
I just wanna feel your love
And I just wanna know, if I misunderstood your words
Cuz I really thought there was something more
Till you decided to shatter my world

I hope I get the chance someday
I’d like to be the one you love
I’ll be everything, I won’t let you go
I’ll be standing on my feet
And I won’t ever move from here
I’ll be quiet so I can hear:
“I love you”.

I’m walking down a lonely street
Voices echoing through the walls
I wonder if they’re laughing at me
And as I start to fall… Can’t you see?
Was it worth it after all?

You took my hand, then let it go
Was I really good enough?
I touched your face, you closed your eyes
Maybe they were all just lies

But if you’re leaving
don’t let it be because of her
She broke your heart and left you bleeding
Those open wounds
It took me some time to make it right
I won’t let you go without a fight

I knew it would happen, it was a matter of time
You’ve realized I’m not over the past
Talking to you is getting harder every time
Will you forgive my broken heart?

I tried my best and I still failed
What if that ship hasn’t sailed?

So, do you think I stand a chance?
Don’t reply, I’m going insane
My heart’s at war with my mind
I shouldn’t have crossed that line
Do you think I will move on?
Do you think I will let go?
Don’t reply, I am to blame
Some things are better left unsaid

You watched me come undone
I was lost, you were in control
You did nothing
Blood escaping from my veins
Crashing down the fairytale
You are good at it

The lies were the best part
Compared to the rest they were fun
I was nothing
The kisses tore me apart
Your hands had the strength to break my heart
You were good at it

Your lies have come back to hunt you, my love
I guess I am to blame, I know
But now that my love is filling some else’s soul
You want it all back, but babe
This time it is too late
You had it all once, and I wonder if you know
I would have died for the love that you never showed.

Writing lines, here comes good bye
But I still wish you would stay tonight
No more lies, just loneliness
And there’s one more restless night in sight
I grab my pillows, close my eyes
Pray to God he doesn’t wake me up

This is what life is going to bring
It has nothing good for me

So let me go back to the start
Where innocence was all we had
Repair my heart, let’s start brand new
Replace the memories of you
When you said you loved me too
And all the pain we went through

At night your words keep haunting me
Your laugh hypnotize me to sleep
Your lies echo in my dreams
How did it go downhill?
I guess this is the life I gotta live
Now I wonder how I didn’t see
That this was all a little trick

Lie and say how much you need me
I’ll believe it all again
That’s how naïve I am
But I know things have changed
Keep faking, pretending
But I’m stronger than before
Your words are so dirty
It’s time for you to go
