janine's song
I'll take out all of the stupid little rhymes
add in some thoughts, maybe even your name
I'll make it so much more than obvious
and then you'd know that this song is for you

Verse
I've been waiting so long and
I think it's time we caught up on things
I've missed you like crazy
I want you here so badly
I never really thought that it would ever end

Chorus
Do you remember the fun we always had?
Do you remember me and how it used to be?
Trace back to the memories, good, not bad
No one said it would be easy...

Verse
I wish you never went away
I never got the chance to say I need you
Just listen to me
maybe then you'll see
I care about you more than you'd ever imagine.

Chorus

Bridge
I can't say enough times how sorry I am
all I can say is I didn't mean to hurt you
I can only hope that (no pause)

You remember the fun we always had
you remember me and how it used to be
just trace back to the memories, good, not bad
No one said it would be easy
repeat

part of a song

I’m trying to forget my past

And leave it way behind

But I keep getting pulled back

The future is hard to find

I’m stuck in my closet

And I can’t break free

Taken hostage by my past regrets

They won’t let go of me

 

Don’t forget your past

It’s who you are

Keep it alive, make it last

Don’t be ashamed of the old

Blend it with the new

Make your stories be retold

taking off

We said goodbye at the airport

And I watched you fly away

When you told be you were leaving

I didn’t really know what to say

the days are passing slowly

and there’s a dull throbbing pain

please help the aching stop

and make everything OK

 

(but)

 

I know it won’t last forever

I know that you’re coming back

And we can talk online whenever

But I just can’t stand the wait

It’s getting harder to fake a smile

I lose a little bit of me each day

 

counting down the hours

but the clock seems to slow

the days are never ending

and you don’t even know

how I cry myself to sleep

how I drive myself insane

how the emptiness is haunting me

I don’t mean to complain

 

(Because)

 

I know it won’t last forever

I know that you’re coming back

And we’ll be back together

But I just can’t stand the wait

It’s getting harder to fake a smile

I lose a little bit of me each day

 

You don’t really know what you have

Until it flies away

 

I know it won’t last forever

I know that you’re coming back

And we’ll be back together

But I just can’t stand the wait

It’s getting harder to fake a smile

I lose a little bit of me each day

untitled

Her fearless frown stands out

You can’t forget the look she gave you

Begging to just scream and shout

And make somebody love her like he did

Nothing will ever be the same since he left

 

Broken hearts will find each other eventually

And be mended with kisses

The scars will fade and be forgotten

But it won’t be the same

 

She cries herself to sleep

Drowned in sadness she lets herself go

And falls down into the deep

Unable to swim up to the surface

Her spirit dies along with her heart

 

Broken hearts will find each other eventually

And be mended with kisses

The scars will fade and be forgotten

But it won’t be the same

 

He fought to save this broken girl

Gave part of himself to her

Her broken heart was mended with his kisses

the scars faded and were forgotten

but it was never the same

 

Broken hearts will find each other eventually

And be mended with kisses

The scars will fade and be forgotten

But it won’t be the same

 

confidence

When she walks down the halls

she always looks down

When you look at her face

There’s always a frown

If you got in her head

you be horribly lost

you promised her forever

But your fingers were crossed

 

They don’t understand

Why she act the way I does

They call her pretty, say she’s cute

I only know what she was to you

You said I was great

You called her the one

but it was all a joke

her world came undone

 

she’s the girl that you see

With the low self esteem

she once fell in love

And that’s the story I write of

her heart belonged to you

something that you outgrew

your fun was at her expense

she’s left with no confidence

 

It’s sad you’ll never know

what you did to her

you left on bad terms

I know that you’ll agree

It shouldn’t be this hard

But you were her everything

she was just your toy

And you cut the string

 

she’s the girl that you see

With the low self esteem

she once fell in love

And that’s the story I write of

her heart belonged to you

something that you outgrew

your fun was at her expense

she’s left with no confidence

 

I’m sick of the games you play

And the trail of broken hearts you leave

Return what you stole from me

and maybe I’ll be okay

 

I’m the girl that you see

With the low self esteem

I once fell in love

And that’s the story I write of

My heart belonged to you

something that you outgrew

your fun was at my expense

I’m left with no confidence

contagious

So you know that feeling?

The smiles force themselves on your face

You can’t help but laugh

And the world’s a perfect place

There is no cure

and it’s completely contagious

It spreads like wildfire

Our smiles are completely outrageous

 

So let’s catch the disease

We’ll sit under the stars

and let our hair catch the breeze

its always the best day of our lives

let’s enjoy the symptoms

somehow I think we’ll survive

 

It feels like nothing can go wrong

Everything just turns out right

The clouds are moving in

But somehow we still see light

Even when the rain is pouring down

It’s still a perfect day

We’ll stay outside and enjoy the weather

Everything is great when the skies are grey

 

So let’s catch the disease

We’ll sit under the stars

and let our hair catch the breeze

its always the best day of our lives

let’s enjoy the symptoms

somehow I think we’ll survive
