I Miss The Hurt

My Anchor

Lyrics:

I used to think we were perfect
But perfect never could be defined
I told myself that you were simple
But simple draws outside of the lines
I couldn’t believe I met you
But then I couldn’t forget what you did
Forgive, forget, it’s all left unsaid
You wanted three words but two are all you get

Your lies collapsed back like a house of cards
My life scattered like a fallen deck
I never knew that I could try so hard
To try to forget her

You were the only thing I had
But I was barely on your radar
I thought you were the only one
But I was just another number
How can you just stand in front of me
Looking at me like I’m not here
Am I an object in the room to you
Or was I never even there?

Your lies collapsed back like a house of cards
My life scattered like a fallen deck
I never knew that I could try so hard
To try to forget her
Your lies collapsed back like a house of cards
My life scattered like a fallen deck
I never knew that I could try so hard
To try to forget her

I didn’t set out to find you but you still stole the image
As soon as the old wounds healed, you tore out the stitches

Your lies collapsed back like a house of cards
My life scattered like a fallen deck
I never knew that I could try so hard
To try to forget her
Your lies collapsed back like a house of cards
My life scattered like a fallen deck
I never knew I could fight so hard
Just to try to forget her

House Of Cards

Lyrics: 

You said we couldn’t be together
Like our worlds were too different
But how can I just forget you
You are my personal oxygen
Maybe we are shores apart
But your thoughts always keep me close
I might lack any real direction
But you are the end of my every road

Sometimes the baggage we keep is there just to hold a new door open
All the ones before were just stepping stones in a pond but you are the ocean

You say they won’t let us be together
But you’re the only one that I see
It’s like the audience disappears at the start
And I’m only staring at what’s on the screen
If I can’t hold you in my arms tonight
Then I’ll keep you in my thoughts right now
You are the best thing that’s happened to me
Even if it doesn’t work out

Sometimes the baggage we keep is there just to hold a new door open
All the ones before were just stepping stones in a pond but you are the ocean
Sometimes the baggage we keep is there just to hold a new door open
All the ones before were just stepping stones in a pond but you are the ocean

Being with me isn’t easy being with you is difficult
But I’d trade what comes uncomplicated if it means you are my impossible

Sometimes the baggage we keep is there just to hold a new door open
All the ones before were just stepping stones in a pond but you are the ocean
Sometimes our regrets are there just to hold a new door open
All the ones before were just stepping stones in a pond but you are the ocean
