Fragile Assertion

2am or in the middle of the day
you're still not here, 
and for that I know I'm not ok
the world is spinning but I'm still stuck here
my car is dead, but so am I 
is it the girl or the time of the year?

so I said, 
I can't fall down again
I hate this place 
I miss your face and all
now all I see is gray in almost everything I used to love
is this what I've become?
October has never scared me numb

I used to think that behind scars something pretty grew
so I cut open my heart and took out parts 
to grow a garden for you but you just plucked and wept
because the flowers had died 
and you denied what was killing them

so I said,
baby there's really nothing left
I've missed your face
I hate this place and all
now these songs sound the same 
and baby I can't fall down again
this is the lowest that I have ever been
don't call me unless you've grown your own garden 

2am or in the middle of the day
you're still not here
and for that I know that I'm not ok
the world is spinning,
but I'm alive today

Track 4 off "One More"

Look to the left if you wanna stay
the trees to the right don't have much to say
I know they're changing, and so are we
but I don't wanna wait for another day
we can fix each other in the little space between the songs on this cd

and you tell me you're ok
but I can see it in your face
there's something I cannot explain
so i won't say a thing

there's so many things that we said we'd do 
and somehow we never did one or two
I guess we all dream a little too much
But I don't wanna live with that my whole life
I'm gonna take a chance starting with you tonight
and maybe the thought of us will be enough 

and you tell me that you'll stay
so I'll wait for a better day
there's so many things I'll never say to you

there's not enough time in any day to say all the things I wanna say
there's not enough time in any day
there's so many things I'll never say to you
