Hey! You wanna run away and get messed up? We’ll have a party just the two of us. We’ll tell eachother everything we should have said before. Good afternoon, i still love you and everybody in the room is so upset that everything you do tonight will affect everything they do in life from this point on but all i gotta do is stay in love with you…
Hey! You wanna run away and get messed up? We’ll have a party just the two of us. We’ll tell eachother everything we should have said before. You make unhappiness in life look nice, you make me think tha what im singing is fine but most of all you make the room light up just with your smile.
Last night, i called a cab from the club. Alright, so im a gentleman deep inside but what i really want is to wake up next to your side. I’m scared that if i make a move for you the outcome stands to disagree with me but if i let you go, you’ll marry someone else and i’ll be all alone.

It’s the air in my face it reminds me of why im here and why we keep fighting and you’ll find that your life is demanding and you’ll hate the fact that you cant stand me atleast i’ll live my life knowing im alive, i’ll live my life knowing im alive.

Hey - I’ve been writing a bunch of songs. Here is one for you guys to have a read over!
Humiliation got the best of me, i put it down to lack of attention or the fact that i could barely breathe. I thought you were just like me! Yeah, you’re bold when you’re alone but in public as shy as anyone could be.
And the best night of my whole life was the night that i was in your room and you told me that you need me to be the best that i can be for you!
Haven’t you heard he’s a rockstar? Breaking your heart is what everybody knows him for! He wears a mask when he shouldn’t even need a disguise. You’ll cross you’re heart and hope to die the minute he’s in your life.
Oh no! I’ll drive alone to the next show, I’ll break her heart like countless others and she’ll never know. Kick start my heart, i wanna feel your skin all night, last summers sin. I cant believe the way that i was turned out the way that i am. Sometimes the way that we were is proof we can.

I took a look at her picture, oh god i wish i was with her. Every good thing i had has slowly withered away but on a good note i love you and how i wish that i’d shown you everyday that you’re the kinda girl that makes my life seem optimistic and easy, interesting and pleasing, oh it breaks my heart that you’re leaving!
