When Love Breaks you Down

There’s a girl I know

Don’t worry

This ain’t some love story

Just something I’ve got to show


Staring at such a bright smile

I could not be idle

It’s so worth my while

Even when I’m your friend tho

You make me trem-ble

Your eyes say so much

I just can’t han-dle

Your such a mystery

Maybe in misery

Probably not

it’s most likely just me


We’ve Spent time under the stars

We’ve got scars

That hurt our hearts

Looks like we’ve got a trend

I could non stop talk to you for hours on end

You know something about me that only 3 people know

So many things I was so afraid to show


Asking you what’s up

And you saying the ceiling

You’ve started to question your feelings

Feelings for me

But what could it be?

Saying “what if it’s all about the touching”

But what about all the conversations, the blushing


I’ve never felt this way before

Usually I avoid being like the others, all for

the shape of your body

Or if only your a folly

Certainly not jolly

Moving super sloppy

Stuff I would never copy

But listen


I really wasn’t the best

Mostly a lot of lust

Which really hurt my chest

Sometimes I did that in my past relationships

They shot off the wrong way like broken spaceships

Soon to blow

So I had to go

What retired feelings I lost so long ago

The ones I really looked at so wrong—hello?


But not with you

Nothing like that

I loved you through

always down to just chat

But listen


She ain’t gonna like me

I’m embarrassed I said anything

I feel like an idiot

I should give up a bit

I gotta freaking get a grip

I’m not trying to guilt trip

I’m no Romeo

Cause my past mistake-I know

I reap what I sow

It sucks to see

That i could be

Someone, people wanted

We were bonded

Till I responded

Then I was flaunted

I screwed up

And now I’m haunted

By the thought of you

I know it doesn’t make sense

But it’s true


Realizing the mistakes I made

The way I caved

Instantly afraid

From what I say

what do I pay? –

The pain I prayed

To stay away

Ha Ha

The funny thing is

You’re curious why I even write about you

It’s cause all these feelings were in the queue

The love you make me feel

The freedom that is real

The freedom that makes me

Be the person you really see

Your ridiculously kind

You know what you’re doing

You’re the one I hunt to find

Searching out what your a-brewing


A life so far traveled

Yet so babbled

Seeing the wrong the right

A known religion and what to fight

But anyways

I miss the good old days

When we were best friends

When we made amends

When we tied lose ends

When we made our own trends


But this is it

I have to quit

This is the first time moving on

Will be such a con

These feelings will take so long

To be completely gone

I’m sorry to pry or even bug

But I had to let you see the tug you have on me

Its just like a drug, It takes forever to get free

This is just the rantings of an odd guy

Who seems to be a little emotion shy

I hope you see this for what it is

Not what it seems to be

I’m not begging you to be mine

I’m begging you to see

That I want to be yours

I’m trying to show you I’ll infinitely

Be by your side

Give me a chance and I’ll be yours

In a landslide


This was written back during a lot of little teenage mixed emotions and falling in love stuff. Ya know the old love story. I wrote this for a girl I liked, and wrote it for the fact of trying to write again while being a little more creative with the lyrics and trying to do the whole “love song” thing. You will see as I move through the song the doubts and the pains/realities that hit me. And in the end I tell her I don’t want to beg but would just love to even be hers. Honestly I love it and cherish it. Thank you guys!

The longest stretch of the book, and the loudest. Most of these carry a date and an album.
