Liar

If you were listening to me
You'd hear the things that I ain't sayin'
When I stop myself before I take a breath
When I lock it up to keep for someone else,
for myself, for another day
Words are medicine and magic, secret keepers, too
Still I lock 'em in, tightening the screw.
Butter and toothpaste, cigarettes and summertime
Sweetness and promises, too
But I promise
I will always
Tell the truth to you.
Cause I'm a liar. And I know that it's true.
More than anything I say, any day.
I'm a liar, but I'll try for you
To do the honest thing the honest way.
Where to begin, where can I start in the story of
Where it all went wrong
I screwed it up I walked away and then I stayed
I fought and tried and lost and won, I guess
I've been bad, repeatedly
Bad to the point where I wondered if I knew myself art all
I thought before I'd broken this so bitter badly
But life is unpredictable
But I promise
I will always
Tell the truth to you.
Cause I'm a liar. And I know that it's true.
More than anything I say, any day.
I'm a liar, but I'll try for you
To do the honest thing the honest way.
If I was listening to you
I'd hear the things you ain't sayin'
When you stop yourself before you take a breath
When you lock it up to keep for someone else,
for yourself, for another day
Words are medicine and magic, secret keepers, too
Still you lock 'em in, tightening the screw.
Kisses like butter and toothpaste, cigarettes and summertime
Sweetness and promises, too
Do you promise
You will always
Tell the truth to me.
Cause you're a liar. And I know that it's true.
More than anything I say, any day.
You're a liar, and I'm begging you to
Love me honestly, the honest way.

The Things

I don't know what to do with the things that you gave me
The things that you pressed in my hands
The letters and mix tapes, that dress from the beach
And the tee-shirt of our favorite band
The things that you made me,
I don't know where to put them
There's no room in my life for old tears
And I can't seem to let go of all of those moments
That added up to all of those years.
Didn't work out, we made peace
We both keep our distance
And I'm glad that we're separate and free
Ain't about gettin' over the real you know,
Just getting over your memory
Now absence sure makes the heart grow fonder
Until it makes love fade.
And I don't really think of you or wonder
How you are, or how much you've changed
But I see an old picture and a flowering tree
Seems to bloom far away in my mind
And I know that I had to leave you alone
But I didn't have to be so unkind
Didn't work out, we made peace
We both keep our distance
And I'm glad that we're separate and free
Ain't about gettin' over the real you know,
Just getting over your memory
Every now and then you walk through a space in my thoughts
When you're the last one's I expected to see
And that gash in my heart
That was so neatly stitched
Well it starts to weep blood at the seams.
But I sure like myself a whole lot more now
I'm not living with all of that woe.
I don't we were back in our past with each other
I just wish I could let you go.
I don't know what to do with the things that you gave me
The things that you pressed in my hands
The letters and mix tapes, that dress from the beach
And the teeshirt from our favorite band
The things that you made me,
I don't know where to put them
There's no room in my life for old tears
And I can't seem to let go of all of those moments
That added up to all of those years.
There's someone new in my life, someone who kisses
Every bruise, scar and tattoo
And I don't him to see me with faraway eyes
No, I won't let you ruin this, too.
I need room in my drawers and my shelves and my cupboards
To let his love shine brightly in
He says: "Baby, as long your over the real thing,
just let our bright future begin.
It didn't work out, you made peace
You sure keep your distance
And I'm glad that you're here now with me
As long as you're over the real thing
Let's just start making new memories.
