You may associate white
with beauty or purity
All I see is what looks empty
like a page or a canvass
for a writer or a painter
“Oh, I am so ordinary.”
Is that what you see, right there in the mirror?
Can’t you be something more?
You think you know you.
That’s not what you do.
I’m not looking for romance
I don’t even want to dance
still unsure with you,
‘though you seem honest and true
I don’t know
Battle of the sexes:
That woman scares you.
She has more opinions than you do.
a pause
a question for a cause
a bouquet of flowers
a colour represents
a message that says:
“let’s just be friends”
Oh, you only mean so well
Of course, with the same old lines
Such familiar lies
while saving your own face
is always your best interest
They think her life is always easy
far away from poverty
Spend away and be free
Oh, they have no idea
It’s a hard worker’s earned paradise
This is why Time Machine is only fiction
You can only look back
to search for what you’ve lacked:
Words you should’ve said…
You can never stop time
but there’s an illusion of a pause
Turn off the phone
Close all the windows
Lock all your doors
Lie down
You will know that I love you
even when I don’t say it
not even out loud
or even when I’m still way too proud
That fact, I have to admit
I still own it
Don’t mind me
I’m just being a little girl
This song is sappy
It couldn’t be worse
It’s him
The world outside?
It can be chaotic.
God Does What God Likes.
What we break, God May Fix
or Leave Shattered, just like that.
