Better Living Through Denial

I'm lying to myself. Assuming that I had your heart.
And I wish I had the courage to say....
That it's alright, it's okay. You're not special anyway.
I'm not scared, I won't cry. I don't need you here tonight.
[chorus]
But it always hurts so much. Everytime you walk away from me.
And I don't know why I sit here patiently; Waiting here...
...For a love I'll never know.
I'm crying to myself. Cuz I know you're no longer mine.
And now since I've been on my own I can't say....
That I'm alright, I'm okay. I don't miss you anyway.
It didn't hurt, I didn't die, when you ran out of my life.

When You Cry I'm Happy

High school crush so true. I wish I could have told you.
I've waited too long. I finally did one night.
I asked you to dance and you laughed in my face;
Then to make it worse, on went the lights.
[chorus]
When your heart breaks I'll be there
To laugh in your face, like you did to me.
When you're moping down the stairs
I'll be there to push you. Maybe you'll land on your head.
I hope that your heart breaks every time someone looks at you.
I hope you always feel how I felt that night
When you made me lower than the dirt on your shoes.
I heard you wanted to apologize, but two words don't wipe out six years.
And I never will let you forget it
And every night I hope you cry out your eyes.
Every day I saw you, I felt nauseous. And I still do.
Every time you cry, it makes my day. I hope you're crying right now.

Never Right

What am I supposed to say? You just up'ed and ran away.
What am I supposed to do? You told me you wanted to hear the truth.
I know that it hurt you, and I'm sorry for that fact.
But I wanted to be straight up. There's no way I can take it back.
[chorus]
I hate to see you crying, but this had to happen.
I'm sorry I broke your heart. I know you probably hate me.
I hate to see you crying, but this had to happen.
I'm sorry I broke your heart. It was never right from the start.
Go ahead and call me a prick. I probably deserve it.
Didn't want to push something fake, so I said what I had to say.
I hope that we can be friends, but that's only in my dreams.
From that first kiss, I knew you were deceived.
What else could I say? I didn't want to live a lie.
I couldn't parade around like everything's alright.
Instead I chose the truth. That's how much I cared for you.
Now you hate me. You wish that I'd just die.

Left Out

We used to be such good friends. Never had to worry, you had my back.
We told ourselves we'd never change, it'd never end
I should have known it was all a charade, and you'd desert me.
You got a new group of plastic friends
Left me out in the cold, looking through the window
But I guess that's what happens when popularity's not on your side
I'll leave you to your synthetic dream, I'll be fine
[chorus]
I guess this is how it feels to be a 3rd wheel, a broken crutch, you just throw it in the trash
(A third wheel that you just throw out in the trash)
Never mind me, I'll take the next train out of town and take with me the painful memories of the past
You'll be back again when you realize they don't care about you
You'll knock on the door, but should I let you in
How long until you walk over me again, if I forgive you
I've packed my things, I'm leaving here. Look me up in a phone book if you even care...
(If I died tomorrow would you even care)

My Cold November

That night I hung up the phone. Tears were rolling down my eyes.
All I had was the comfort of my best friends. The next day left alone.
I watched the Lions game. Anything to get my mind off of you.
I didn't care who won; I already lost.
Remembering those words that I deserved better than you.
I tried to say grace before dinner, but what do I have to be thankful for?
A heart ripped to shreds with the knife left at the foot of my door.
Thanksgiving dinner never tasted so bitter.
I wanted to throw it up and send it to you
Just to give you a reminder of how it feels
To destroy someone's holiday.
I went to turn on the TV. Home Alone was on, how fitting.
I tried to laugh but couldn't find a reason why. Still left wondering why.
Black Friday never fit so perfect. It felt like a part of me just died.
Seeing happy couples blissfully step through the stores.
I just wanted to rip out my eyes.
Deep in a box, I buried a picture of you.
Hoping to never see it again.
It still pops up sometimes.
And a tear still rolls down my eyes.
