Forget about all the masks we wear,
They're all bull shit.
Because sooner or later they shatter,
And you're left with nothing but yourself.
.

Forget about the smiles you fake,
They're all bull shit.
Because the more they flatter you,
The more you know you're losing yourself
.
(Her):
All this advice they give so easily,
All those times I wanted them to shut up.
Because as for me,
I cannot forget, I cannot forget.
.

Boy, in this tug of war,
Where you're at the losing end more often,
Leave the rope,
Or you'll be pulled over.
.

The love I can't take,
You can't deny it either?
So in this tug of war,
We're stuck where we don't belong.
.

Forget the memories you keep, Boy,
They're all bull shit.
Because sooner or later they shatter,
And take no prisoners along.

.

Forget about your dreams you said,
They're all bull shit.
Because sooner or later I'll fail,
And be left bleeding like a disaster.
.

All these advices he gives so easily,
When I just want him to shut up.
Because as for me,
I cannot forget, I cannot forget.
.

I know you lie but I cannot deny,
The way you love me so hard.
So when we're holding hands I'll tell you,
Find someone better, or better yet.
.

Better yet, I'll tell you,
That I'm a bad person.
Maybe you'll believe the lies,
Because it's not working.
.

I'm sorry, but my fireflies,
Don't rest on your flowers anymore, Boy.
I'm sorry but your waters are too cold,
For me to swim in.
.

You ask me if I'll stay,
I want to say no but I can't hurt you.
And even though it's my choice,
Why do I feel guilty then.
.

You shouldn't have confessed zag.
You should've just stayed away.
I'm a wreckage that cannot be salvaged,
Why Boy. Why did you try then?
.

-------
(Me):

All these questions, Girl, hush.
It's my heart that you crush
And after all these years of incoherence,
It's odd that you still make me blush.
.

Waking up at five,
Just to make you feel safe.
I know baby I know,
You're scared to be lonely.
.

But I'm scared of losing you,
And after all these years,
Why can't I make you mine?
Make you my only.
.

Enough trials dear God,
I can only take so much.
You want me to stay with her? Okay.
You want me to lose her? Fine.
.

So let's flip a coin,
Decide it there and then.
Heads, and I'm hers,
Tails, she's mine.
.

Tough bargain, I know,
But dear God you already know.
That whenever its been dark around me,
It's been my determination that shines.
.

Hush now, Girl, I know we're a mess,
And I go too far I guess,
Whenever I use big words,
Like Baby, I love yous and Forevers.
.

But hey, it's alright.
Call it magic, or call it illusion.
I'm not a photographer, but,
I can picture you and me together.
.

Call me cheesy, Call me insane.
But oh Lord I can't help it.
She's a parking ticket,
She's got fine written all over her.
.

And I hear sounds in the deepest silence,
I tell you you're beautiful.
I tell you you're gorgeous,
But oh how you scoff.
.

Tell me silly woman,
Explain.
Is there an airport nearby?
Or is that my heart taking off?
.
(Her):
Shut the fuck up, Boy,
You're crazy. And lame.
Go to a psychologist or something.
Get some fucking medication.
.
(Me):
But baby?
Let's skip the hospitals,
Let me come over.
This calls for some intimation.
.

Yeah right, boy, is all you say,
And I kept blinking away,
The tears you couldn't see,
But I felt something more than sad.
.

Little did you know,
Go to a psychologist I did.
I begged him, I cried, I asked him why.
Why am I changing, where did I turn bad.
.

And he kept correcting his glasses,
Out of breath and words.
When I showed him my poems,
He couldn't seem to gather himself.
.

He couldn't fathom why,
Why I even try.
When she's so unsure to feeling,
When she's so immature herself.
.

But I told him before I walked out,
That me without her,
Was like a shoe without laces.
A mile of a ten paces.
ASentenceWithoutSpaces.
.

And I walked out with all salvaged Grace.
And Kept thinking to Myself,
How It's always the wrong ones we chase,
And How,
People change.
-Faster,
-Even Faster ..
.
.
Than Hurricanes.
