The Day I Met You

Lyrics, ,

My black nail polish is chipped
And my eye makeup has smeared
From day one I knew this would end
But I didn’t care or fear it
I was drawn to you and your charm
Like a moth to a burning flame
I needed to be around you
But two couldn’t play your game
It’s like the middle of winter
Living in your cold selfish heart
I knew I would only get hurt
But I fell too hard and fast

I could see the end before we even began
You’re the rusty nail I couldn’t help but step on
The out of control fire I just had to touch
Or the doomed flight I needed to get on
We were a car crash and I couldn’t walk away
I stayed long enough to watch my heart break
From the day I met you I knew it’d end this way
Because I had feelings you just couldn’t fake

My long hair was tied in knots
And the colour has washed out
He said he wanted to talk
But I knew what it was about
I could feel this day coming
Ever since I came home that day
I found her lying in my bed
I don’t know why I even stayed
Just your average love story
The good girls meets the bad boy
I wished for a happy ending
But I was just your play toy

I could see the end before we even began
You’re the rusty nail I couldn’t help but step on
The out of control fire I just had to touch
Or the doomed flight I needed to get on
We were a car crash and I couldn’t walk away
I stayed long enough to watch my heart break
From the day I met you I knew it’d end this way
Because I had feelings you just couldn’t fake

I lost it
I couldn’t take it no more
I stuck by you all this time
And you leave me for that whore
I lost it
I threw your favourite glass
It hit the door you just slammed
The pieces shattered my heart

I could see the end before we even began
You’re the rusty nail I couldn’t help but step on
The out of control fire I just had to touch
Or the doomed flight I needed to get on
We were a car crash and I couldn’t walk away
I stayed long enough to watch my heart break
From the day I met you I knew it’d end this way
Because I had feelings you just couldn’t fake

Unclear

Lyrics, ,

I found some old lyrics that I wrote when I was much younger. I thought I’d share them with you.

I hate not knowing
Where I’ll be
Ten years from now
It’s an untold story

Today I cannot see
What the future holds
It’s all unclear
Not written in bold

What comes next
Where to from here
It’s all one big question
And the answers I fear

Today I cannot see
What the future holds
It’s all unclear
Not written in bold

If I could skip ahead
I wouldn’t miss a beat
All the places I’d go
All the people I’d meet

Today I cannot see
What the future holds
It’s all unclear
Not written in bold

I hate my life
I hate where I am
I wish to go back
And do it all again

Today I cannot see
What happened to my past
And all those good times
They went by so fast

Love

Love Is

Lyrics, ,

It was love at first sight
I looked at him and I knew
We’d always be together
And our love would be true
I just haven’t met you yet
We’ll be two parts of one whole
You could show me the world
And I would bear you my soul

But love isn’t always like this
This is just a myth

Love is joy
Love is pain
Love is sticking by them
When they drive you insane
It may not always be good times
But you’ll know you found the one
When your life revolves around them
Like earth revolves around the sun

Today he bought me flowers
Just because he loves me
It had a card that said
I was his honeybee
He treats me like a princess
Buys me lots of diamonds
He even got me a tiara
Maybe next an island

But love isn’t always like this
This is just a myth

Love is joy
Love is pain
Love is sticking by them
When they drive you insane
It may not always be good times
But you’ll know you found the one
When your life revolves around them
Like earth revolves around the sun

He’s always there for me
Like my own man of steel
He lends me his strength
When I just can’t deal
He’s not a bird or a plane
But he’s my superman
So you can call me Lois
Cause I’m his number one fan

But love isn’t always like this
This is just a myth

Love is joy
Love is pain
Love is sticking by them
When they drive you insane
It may not always be good times
But you’ll know you found the one
When your life revolves around them
Like earth revolves around the sun

This myth that love is always perfect
Is the reason it’s so hard to find
Stop searching for a fairytale
And wait for your one of a kind

Love is joy
Love is pain
Love is sticking by them
When they drive you insane
It may not always be good times
But you’ll know you found the one
When your life revolves around them
Like earth revolves around the sun

Love
Roxanne

The Life That I Lost

Lyrics, , ,

I’d been afraid to dream
Afraid to hope.
But I’d begun to plan
And now I can’t cope.
I could see it all
The car seat and the pram
Once I had started
It flowed like a dam

My new life was right there
And I was excited
I didn’t want to hope
But I couldn’t fight it
I could picture it clearly
And look what that cost
Because now it’s all gone
The life that I lost

I didn’t want to
But they made me.
I planned out a future
For me and my baby
It would go to a good school
Have some good friends
With me and the kid
The fun never ends

My new life was right there
And I was excited
I didn’t want to hope
But I couldn’t fight it
I could picture it clearly
And look what that cost
Because now it’s all gone
The life that I lost

It was all right there
A future I wanted.
I could reach out and touch it
But now, by it, I’m haunted.
I can still see it
Even to this day
But it never happened
It was taken away

My new life was right there
And I was excited
I didn’t want to hope
But I couldn’t fight it
I could picture it clearly
And look what that cost
Because now it’s all gone
The life that I lost

There was one thing I needed.
For the life I wanted to live.
But I took the test.
And it was negative.

My new life was right there
And I was excited
I didn’t want to hope
But I couldn’t fight it
I could picture it clearly
And look what that cost
Because now it’s all gone
The life that I lost

Love

Seven Shades Of Me

Lyrics,

I look around my room what do I see
Posters and a champagne bottle vase
Old records and pictures that I’ve taken
Over the years that have gone past
Lying on my make up stained pillows with
Police tape hanging on the wall behind me
I want to search for the words to write but
I’m trapped by the four walls that define me

Seven shades of me
Can’t be all that I am
I’ve travelled the world
And been back again
When I picture my life
All that I can see
Is pieces of the puzzle
Seven shades of me

I can lie in my bedroom for hours
And write the same words again and again
I can’t put my memories onto paper
So I just waste the ink in my pen
The girl that I was is only part of me
Her story was simple with no shades of gray
But with my new pictures the room is brighter
I just wish I could write about those days

Seven shades of me
Can’t be all that I am
I’ve travelled the world
And been back again
When I picture my life
All that I can see
Is pieces of the puzzle
Seven shades of me

I have added new colour to my old black and white life
But that’s not what I write
The places I have been, the things I have seen
I have travelled the world
But I can’t put it into words

Seven shades of me
Can’t be all that I am
I’ve travelled the world
And been back again
When I picture my life
All that I can see
Is pieces of the puzzle
Seven shades of me

Love
Roxanne

Mrs Robinson

Lyrics, ,

You were my kid neighbour
Who followed me around
One day you showed up
Just as I was feeling down
We stayed up all night
And you made me smile
You made me forget
Just for a little while
I knew you and your friends
All had a little crush
From the way you watched me
But I don’t understand the fuss

I know you watch the sway of my hips
Like a grandfather clock when it ticks
Cause girls your age don’t look like this
You came to see me everyday
But this is a game I can no longer play
Mrs Robinson is not my name

I don’t know what happened
But one day you grew up
All the young girls liked you
All you had to do was strut
With your blue eyes, blonde hair
You were easy on the eye
But I had a don’t touch rule
Not that you didn’t try
Everyone thinks it’s wrong
And maybe they’re right
I used to baby sit you
But we’ll always have that night

I know you watch the sway of my hips
Like a grandfather clock when it ticks
Cause girls your age don’t look like this
You came to see me everyday
But this is a game I can no longer play
Mrs Robinson is not my name

Now the time has come for me to say
Though it’s been fun I should walk away
I’ll still see you everyday
But over the fence is where you’ll stay

I know you watch the sway of my hips
Like a grandfather clock when it ticks
Cause girls your age don’t look like this
You came to see me everyday
But this is a game I can no longer play
Mrs Robinson is not my name

Love
Roxanne

I Can’t Hear You

Lyrics,

When you look at me what do you see
Do you see a failure
Before I gave up on what you wanted
I only saw a stranger
You thought you could control me
Keep me on a tight leash
In fact you almost made me believe
I can’t have what I want
Everyday you tried to put me down
But you’ll never keep me there
I pushed myself up off the ground
It’s time for you to listen

‘Cos
I can’t hear you
Telling me what to do
I can’t hear you
Telling me how to live
You can scream at me til you’re blue
But I’ll no longer do as you wish

Of course you still had plenty to say
Like how you don’t like my ink
Or the colour I dye my hair
But I don’t care what you think
I won’t let you be referee
In any part of my life
You can try but I’m not gonna play
By these rules you’ve set out
There’ll come a time one day soon
When you will realise
Every time you say I can’t
It makes me want to fight

‘Cos
I can’t hear you
Telling me what to do
I can’t hear you
Telling me how to live
You can scream at me til you’re blue
But I’ll no longer do as you wish

I’m telling you, you have to stop
I won’t listen anymore
You’re gonna need to play nice
Or I’ll be heading for the door

I can’t hear you
Telling me what to do
I can’t hear you
Telling me how to live
I can’t hear you
Telling me what to do
I can’t hear you
Telling me how to live

I can’t hear you
I can’t hear you
I can’t hear you

…

I can’t hear you
I can’t hear you
I can’t hear you

…

I can’t hear you

Love

I’m Not Lonely

Lyrics,

I’m sitting all alone
At a table for two
You might think I’m lonely
But you don’t know what I do
I could spend my lifetime
With a collection of hearts
Or I could just stay home
Waiting til my show starts
Day drinking in a bar
All alone in my basement
Don’t worry about me
I’m lonely adjacent

I know when the sun rises
For every day
That it will be mine
To live my way
Then when the sun sets
And day becomes night
My bed might be empty
But this is my life

I embrace the loneliness
Of walking in the rain
Dark clouds hanging around me
Maybe they feel the same
I won’t wait for a man
I won’t waste the hours
I know the time will come
For what’s mine is ours
Where’s you other half
That’s what I hear people say
But I’ve always been alone
And I like it that way

I know when the sun rises
For every day
That it will be mine
To live my way
Then when the sun sets
And day becomes night
My bed might be empty
But this is my life

I might be alone
But don’t think I’m lonely
I might be alone
But don’t think I’m lonely
I might be alone
But I’m not lonely

I know when the sun rises
For every day
That it will be mine
To live my way
Then when the sun sets
And day becomes night
My bed might be empty
But this is my life

Without A Heart

Lyrics, ,

It’s been six months
Since I met this guy
Things had been great
But it was a lie
We used to go out
And have lots of fun
But I had to stop
It just seemed dumb
You were fun right?
I’m just curious
Why are you so
Damn serious
That’s what he said
He was furious

Everything becomes chaos

You thought I was easy
And you played me
Like a deck of cards
Just without a heart
When I played along
You left me alone
But you got colder
Cause the fun was over

That’s when he changed
Became something else
Like he had no rules
Showed his real self
Wearing a smile
He gets out his blade
And cuts me a little
Until it all fades
When I came too
I saw he had fun
I would try to leave
But I can’t run

Everything becomes chaos

You thought I was easy
And you played me
Like a deck of cards
Just without a heart
When I played along
You left me alone
But you got colder
Cause the fun was over

Weirdly enough
He let me go
For what reason
I’ll never know
But from now on
There’ll be questions
How’d you get that scar
Is no exception

You thought I was easy
And you played me
Like a deck of cards
Just without a heart
When I played along
You left me alone
But you got colder
Cause the fun was over

Before he left
He played poker
Left a calling card
It was the joker

You thought I was easy
And you played me
Like a deck of cards
Just without a heart

Everything becomes chaos

You thought I was easy
And you played me
Like a deck of cards
Just without a heart
When I played along
You left me alone
But you got colder
Cause the fun was over

Love
Roxanne

Red Rose

Lyrics, ,

I thought we were solid
That we we’re going strong
It was what I wanted
Sometimes it’s not enough
I’ve always struggled
With sharing the real me
And again I’ve stumbled
I thought we’d be different

Sometimes love just isn’t enough

You called me red rose
I thought you were being sweet
But you weren’t I suppose
My thorns kept pricking you
So as the saying goes
Every rose has its thorn
Only this one can’t grow

I can feel you slipping
Pulling away from me
It only seems fitting
Since I always hurt you
You asked me to share
To open up to you
But I’m beyond repair
I’m too broken inside

Sometimes love just isn’t enough

You called me red rose
I thought you were being sweet
But you weren’t I suppose
My thorns kept pricking you
So as the saying goes
Every rose has its thorn
Only this one can’t grow

I have done this before
I’ve been with somebody
And they’ve asked for more
It didn’t feel like this
I need you to hear me
I want to share with you
Things I tell nobody
But I just can’t do it

Sometimes love just isn’t enough
Every rose has it thorn
This rose will hurt you til you’re gone

I’m telling you to leave
Go find your happiness
And don’t bother to grieve
Cause you’re better off now

You called me red rose
I thought you were being sweet
But you weren’t I suppose
My thorns kept pricking you
So as the saying goes
Every rose has its thorn
Only this one can’t grow

Love
Roxanne
