Lost cause

I never knew I’d spend

So much time

Running away from things

Or driving things away

I’m skipping states

Like kids skip stones

I’m the girl who always migrates

But always seems to leave some bones

He promised me “I’ll always be there

No matter where you go”

But he’s chasing a lost cause

I’ll always be one, no matter where I go

So I’ll leave trails of kisses on you

But I’ve already been here, so I’ve got to go

You have to learn that promises

Are just lies waiting to be told

Stayed with you

I’m a fly caught in a web in the corner of your heart.

You caught me and I pretend to be all tied up.

I always knew I could fly away,

But I stayed with you anyway.

 

We were two love birds

Locked in a cage.

They snipped your wings away;  But I still had mine.

I stayed with you anyway.

 

Simply turn our page and hope for the best.

Because starting a new chapter is for the pressed.

We weren’t in love,

But I stayed with you anyway.
