Transfering my new writing from tumblr to here...

"Girl You Write About"

We were swapping stories over coffee
When you told me you were a poet
And I just rolled my eyes
Darling, aren’t we all
I wasn’t ready to give you a chance
But then the tables, they turned
And I fell so fast for you
Suddenly I’m dying to be
The girl you write about
And it’s so cliché, our little story
Two strangers who’ve given up on love
But I‘ve got room in my heart for you
And I think it’s time you let me in
Cuz I’m dying to be
The girl you write about
I told my friends about you
I said he’s a poet
And they rolled their eyes
Darling, aren’t they all

"Stuck"
My friends are waiting
Not so patiently
For me to get over you
They don’t know me very well
Because I’m never going to
Give up all of this
It’s not that I haven’t tried
I make a wish that you’ll disappear
So I can stop chasing you
But as long as you stick around
Honey I’m stuck on you
Call me crazy and desperate
But I’ll take those over lonely
And dear when you’re around
The lonely goes away
My friends, they wonder what I see in you
It’s your sweet soul that
Has had me captured since that very first day
It’s the hope you gave me
To sum it all up, you’re perfect
So to my so call friends
I know this is hard for you
You call me crazy and desperate
But I’d take those over lonely
And dears, when he’s around,
The lonely goes away
So let me love him
As long as he’s around
I’m so stuck on him

"Mess Like Me"
I wish I knew how to love me
Talkin to ya late last night
I had an epiphany
The reason I run from you
Is because I’m running from me
And I know you said you’d stick around
But what if I can’t be cured
How long are you willing to wait
For a mess like me?
And I always come back to you
Because the truth is I need you
I’m not the biggest fan of me
I say I’ll change but I never do
I don’t know how to love me
And I know you said you’d stick around
But what if I can’t be cured
How long are you willing to wait
For a mess like me?
I’ve got some figuring out to do
My heart is in desperate need of repairs
I’m learning how to love me
Maybe then I can love you too
But this isn’t a quick fix
So How long are you willing to wait
For a mess like me?

"Mr. Whoever You Are"
Every night I think…One day I’ll find him
You’ll open my eyes to a brand new world
I think I found him, and I think he’s you
There’s just one obstacle
You’re nothing but a stranger
So Dear Mr Whoever you are,
I just wanted to tell ya
You make my day worthwhile
You’ve got me
Thinking maybe, just maybe
The distance between us will disappear
Let’s break the barrier between us
Don’t you wonder why our paths keep crossing
Couldn’t it be fate that brought us both to this place
Dear Mr Whoever you are
I just wanted to tell ya
You make my day worthwhile
You’ve got me
Thinking maybe, just maybe
The distance between us will disappear
I don’t want to be passing strangers anymore
Dr Mr Whoever you are,
I’d like to know who you are.

"Have Hope"
We’re all watching you
Holding our breath
Waiting for you to fall to pieces
Maybe this time you need to break
Maybe it will be okay to crash
And I don’t know why
I seem so invested in you
All I know is, I can’t watch you fade away
Why do you let you abuse you like that?
All that mess bringing you down?
Leave it behind
Sweets, none of it matters
The cure is simple:Have hope
What’s meant to be,
Well it always finds its way
So have patience
I promise I won’t let you fade away
I won’t leave you behind
