Maybe

I tried so hard
And I tried for so long
To make you who I thought you should be
Afraid to let go
Afraid to move on
I held too tight and you couldn’t breathe
If you tried half as hard to love me
As I tried to change you
Maybe you’d still be around
But you only see my mess
And I only see your second best
I tried so hard
And I tried for so long
To make you see the world that I see
But you wouldn’t listen
You couldn’t see it
You closed your eyes to the things that I grieve
If you tried half as hard to love me
As I tried to change you
Maybe you’d still be around
But you only see my mess
And I only see your second best
Ooh
I wish all the best for you
Ooh
It only took a mile high view
Ooh
I hope all your wildest dreams come true
If you tried half as hard to love me
As I tried to change you
Maybe you’d still be around
But you only see my mess
And I only see your second best
And maybe we were meant to run into the ground

Winter in Ohio
03:37
|

December rolls around again
And I feel everything and nothing
I spend the whole year dreading it
But it hits me like the coldest wind
It’s winter in Ohio and the snow is coming down
And the sun is disappearing behind the clouds
The world is dark and cold and gray
I think my soul is too
It’s winter in Ohio
I hope the spring is coming soon
I used to love the icy cold
That changed about ten years ago
My heart grew too heavy to hold
The weight of it comes with the snow
It’s winter in Ohio and the snow is coming down
And the sun is disappearing behind the clouds
I’m frozen where I stand and I don’t think I have a chance
It’s winter in Ohio
Will these dark clouds ever pass
And the darkness in the sky is reflected in my eyes
I don’t think I’m gonna make it through this six-month-night
Stuck in snow I’m paralyzed
Avalanches in my mind
I don’t think I’m gonna make it through this six-month-night
It’s winter in Ohio and the snow is coming down
And the sun is disappearing behind the clouds
I know it in my head that spring will come around again
It’s winter in Ohio and this feels like it’s the end

Pathetic
03:31

I’d offer you my love
Without a single string attached
But I’ve got sticky fingers
And there’ll always be a catch
I’m higher strung than you’d believe
Don’t know how to relax
Imagination’s dangerous
In mine we’re the best match
Is it romantic
Whatever I do you’re always on my mind
Or is it pathetic
I just can’t forget you I try and I try
I’d beg for your attention
And I’d kneel down at your feet
An ounce of your affection
Traded for my dignity
Is it romantic
Whatever I do you’re always on my mind
Or is it pathetic
I just can’t forget you I try and I try
I see it all with you
Tell me you see those things too
Having visions that we’re in love
Convince myself that it’s enough
I’ll tell myself it’s good enough
Is it romantic
Whatever I do you’re always on my mind
Or is it pathetic
I just can’t forget you I try and I try
Is it romantic
Whatever I do you’re always on my mind
Or is it pathetic
I just can’t forget you I try and I try

Mothers
03:32
|

I’m grieving the loss of my mother
And she hasn’t left the earth yet
She’s everything I’d call familiar
But it feels like we still haven’t met
I’m scared that I’ll end up just like her
Spend my life carrying my own secrets
I know that I won’t live up to her
So I’ll keep her at arm’s length instead
I’m wondering who she used to be
Before title outweighed her name
Her childhood ended at twenty
Buried in an early grave
They tell me that motherhood breaks you
You hold the weight of the world all alone
And all your sins are remembered forever
No matter how hard you try to atone
I’m wondering when she looks at me
What the thoughts are that flood through her mind
Does she see all the good that she gave me
Or does she wish we weren’t so much alike
If I try to love only the good parts
And to leave all the rest on the side
It’ll leave us shredded into pieces
And it’ll leave all my heart far behind
Someday I’ll be mourning my mother
And more than anything I’ll want more time
I’ll pore over her childhood photos
And think we’d be friends in some other life
I’ll wish that I’d been much more like her
And look for ways she’s mirrored in my eyes
But until then I’ll maintain our distance
And spend the rest of her life wasting time

Falling Behind
04:34
|
|||
My friends are having babies and I'm wondering what do I do now
Still living in my parents' house
And my brother's getting married but I'm still stuck on the one who never called me back
I couldn't have prepared for that
I'm falling behind
Am I running out of time
The years are flying by
But I'm frozen in time
I'm looking at my life and I feel paralyzed
There's nowhere left to go
But I feel far from home
Oh have I burned the only bridge to take me back where I belong
My best friend's starting college
Twenty five and finally finding her own path
But I don't think my life's on track
I see the same street names and same streetlights
I ask myself
Will I make it out alive or am I gonna lose my mind
I'm falling behind
Am I running out of time
The years are flying by
But I'm frozen in time
I'm looking at my life and I feel paralyzed
There's nowhere left to go
But I feel far from home
Oh have I burned the only bridge to take me back where I belong
I don't want you to go in front of me
'Cause my wasted potential is all you'll see
I don't want you to leave me behind
'Cause all you'll remember is my troubled mind
I don't want you to go in front of me
'Cause my wasted potential is all you'll see
I don't want you to leave me behind
'Cause all you'll remember is my troubled mind
