high hopes

i had high hopes for us

because i had nothing before us

my anger was what tore us

bore us into the ground

now im bound by the pain

im going insane

im stuck in the rain

this pain is the only thing that remains from you

i was stuck to you like glue and my love only grew

but then we fell right through

like the holes in my shoe

i should've seen that coming

but i loved what we were becoming

it was something

i had hope but i should've started running

i knew defeat was coming

but i kept on humming and blocked it out

we needed fixing like plumbing

but talking to you was numbing

i had sensed it but thought against it and said we'd be fine

but then your feelings started to decline

i could drink you like divine wine

lay you down and dis-align your spine

i have girls in line for me like columbine, and yet i chose you

my love was true

you were what i had to hold on to

you look delicious like fondue

and your parents think id kill you

this is getting old like mildew

i loved you and i still do

but i guess where we are will do

ive grown up with you

and its going to be hard to forget you

but its something i will do

i refuse to stay like this forever

life can be so much better

this i must remember

ill go through hard times and phases

but i have to remember that i have greatness

deep down

and i wont be dragged down and put on lock-down

i will succeed like a touchdown

so hand me my crown and return to the playground

where you belong

i will stay strong

and i will continue to make songs

beat on my chest like a gong, im king kong

even if my pain is prolonged

i will say so long

cause the way you treated me was so wrong

my emotions belong to me

im sorry

i love you, but you only burn me

yet you stand by my heart like a turnkey, guarding it sternly

sometimes you say "you concern me"

well thats too bad

im gonna write like i wanna write, i just miss what we had

it makes me sad, but i wont linger, just give you the finger

but with a heart over it

cause im not over it and im not ready to depart

but if i have to, i will

just remember

im ill
