did you know my name means strong?

there were so many things i meant to say to you
but they just got lost on the way to school today
my windshield wipers don't work so well
so i can't see through this shit
will this ever be okay
and i am fine
but that's a lie
and i know that's not what you want to hear
i still feel so lost without you
and that being said all the old cliches are true
i can never love someone unless i learn to love myself
so i guess i never loved you
and if it's not you, then it can't be found
and i say fuck the old sayings til they hit the ground
cause i can't stop this shaking
and i won't stop touching you
and that will be true until the day my sky falls through
here's to the good times
and i'll drink to that
drown my sadness until i forget
my body is a battelfield and my heart its wounds
and that's about as cheesy as you can get
without misgiving all of your regrets
so i'll raise my glass
and drive my snow-logged car straight into a tree
just no- that i loved you
i broke my own hands with things i can't say
and from the very beginning i never told the whole truth
cause truth is in the eyes of the beholder
and you weren't holding me any longer
so i am fine
but that's a lie
and i know that's not what you want to hear
maybe someday i can earn your trust back again
maybe someday i can look you in the eyes again
maybe someday i will live up to my name
and maybe someday we will love
and maybe someday we will die
"but now i'm gonna live."
