Insomnia
I am just a pawn
On the great chessboard of life
I am just a weapon
For someone else's strife
I am just an understudy
Waiting in the wings
I am just a caged bird
But one who never sings
I am just your fallback
And you are "just" my world
I am insignificant
While your worth is still uncurled
I am just pathetic
And I am just a freak
You just keep me crying
And that's why I can't fall asleep
Diamonds
Diamonds are formed
by lots of pressure
over lots of time.
Maybe you are a diamond.
Maybe your pain
made you beautiful.
Why couldn't it work
on people too?
Who's to say?
Maybe your hurt
over time
turned your black coal
into diamonds.
Stranded
Standing outside with the wind blowing strong
I wonder if asking you to get me was wrong
You probably hate me and that's why I'm still here
Wondering if you're out there, trembling with fear
I'm still on the sidewalk, as minutes tick by
I think you aren't coming, and I think I know why
Have I been forgotten? Expired?
Did you simply get tired
Of waiting for the girl so full of confusion
Of waiting for the girl lost in delusion
It's getting quite cold and starting to rain
I look down the street, but I still see the same
Still I keep waiting, and I'm getting wet
Maybe I was the problem you wanted to forget
I stand and watch the clock, it's like a metronome
You saved yourself, but now I can't get home
Get out while you can, it's all I have demanded
Run away fast . . . but don't leave me stranded
Knight In Shining Armor
I don't want a knight in shining armor
I don't need a gentleman
I don't require a baby-sitter
Someone who'll always let me win
I don't want a devoted admirer
I don't need any obsession
I don't want to be someone's property
And I don't need you to be my possession
I just want someone to talk to
I just want someone to care
I just want someone imperfect
So the pressure isn't there
I just want someone to laugh with
I just want someone who's fun
I just want someone to dance with . . .
Could you be that one?
Done
I'm done with stupid crushes
They always break my heart
I'm finished with unrequited adoration
It's all doomed from the start
I'm through with trying to impress someone
Who doesn't think of me that way
I'm putting away those earrings he liked
They hurt my ears anyway
I'm calling it quits on fawning over
Someone who will never love me
I'm sick of trying to get noticed
By a person who doesn't want to see
I know that the words that I'm writing
Will have to turn out to be true
Because while I'm lonely and trying to be strong
I'm sick of the wringer I'm going through
Dreamlover
She can't understand the way she feels
All that she knows is a part of him heals
He understand without words the way to her heart
She feels she would die if the ever should part
The day they decided their one and one made two
Somehow everyone felt a little less blue
She's new to all this, a love amateur
She thinks he's an angel but can never be sure
He laughs at her jokes, she listens to his dreams
They never have fights, they're perfect it seems
But then she wakes up and it all disappears
Her fantasy went bye-bye and there's no end of tears
She wishes and hopes and sometimes you hear her pray
But in the end she knows dreamlovers can't stay
