Baby, I've been missing you
dang

taste of my own medicine 
visit places you have been
all alone
all alone
all alone
sister reaches out to me
you need patience 
I hang out with your family
all alone
all alone
all alone

I miss riding in your car
drive me home
even though I didn't live very far

we got past all the street lights
make it to the lake
stare at the reflection
of the moonlight
(of the moonlight)

hear the train go passing by
you come over 2 am
cuz I wanted a hug

hold me while I cry
counting down the days
till goodbye

make the most of the light
red heart before your flight

baby, I've been missing you
and all the things we'd do
together

I thought we'd 
be together in the end
but I can't place expectation
on something that's not meant
for me

maybe I've been missing you

maybe I'm not missing you

I've been missing me
maybe I don't 
need a guarantee

dang

missing you

Did you talk to her about me
Does she know what we’ve done
Did you use the same line to win her
or sing the same song you sung to me

Cuz I know 
the way
you made them fall in love
and i watch
while you give
what i wanted from you

don’t think i haven’t moved on cuz
I’m just curious
has love become lazy
and relies on a script on their crush
i’m really not bitter i just
observe from afar
no matter i’ve been through
i’ll always love with all my heart

i just know
the way you made them fall in love
and i watch
while you give
what i wanted from you

We really weren’t meant to be
i’ve realized that
cuz we didn’t give each other
what we needed back

but i know 
the way
you made me fall in love
but i still wish 
you the best
for life long joy
and happiness

Wedding Season

There’s something bout the way he stares
instantly I feel love in the air 
I breathe it in I don’t want to let go
what’s this feeling
I don’t know

oh my
who’s that guy
he caught my eye
the least I can do is say

wait
should I walk up and tell him how I feel
what if I mess up 
I don’t think I could deal
oh god there he is
gotta be cool
who am I kidding
i’m his fool

oh my
who’s that guy
he caught my eye
the least I can do is say

i’m in the bathroom
with a heart full of regret
why didn’t I do it
I forget
next time I’ve got this 
there’s no turning back
anyone got a pen?
need a plan of attack

it’s been four years and you still don’t know
don’t know
i bite my lip
when you leave after hello
I gotta get a grip
and stop being shy
HEY YOU
you look really good in that bowtie
ahhhhHHHHhhh

oh my who’s that guy
he caught my eye
the least I can do is say
hi
sigh
of a daydreamer
of a daydreamer

sigh of a daydreamer

Sometimes it’s “I know”
sometimes it’s comprise
at the end of the day
it’s not what you say
but what you do 

don’t make me look like a fool
i’m not here as a tool 
to fix you
I get it’s complicated 
we both got our frustrations
got our own limitations
but I-I-I  
 
I do it
I-I
I do it
just for us 
just for us
just for us

I know you’re unhappy
but i’m not the source of that
i’ll bear the weight too
just don’t use me as a 
punching bag

I do it 
I-I 
I do it
just for you

now, wait a minute
is this the feeling of commitment
trapped inside
feeling suffocated 
bend over backwards 
just the beginning
i’m not alone 
but am i winning  
I know I gotta 
sacrifice
but where do I draw the line
between
who you really are 
and what you’re tryna be
all for 
that person
do they meet you in the middle
do you feel belittled 
do you fear for your life 
do you still feel alive
how many times have they lied   

I know
that I tried my best
to defend 
you
While I took my time
you found a new dime
and spun me

now 
I do it 
I-I
I do it 
just for me
just for me
just for me

take care of yourself

sacrifice

Oh my god
why
we have the same soul i guess 

ahhh
ooooo
ha haa

timing is impeccable
though at the moment not understandable
it’s okay cuz later on
you’ll learn your lesson
and life moves on
with or without you
you gotta grow through shit
take life’s hits
be that bitch
get that fix
accept plot twists
empty your pockets
be a statistic 

it’s okay
cuz you’re never alone
you’re okay
ya okay
(okay) 
you’ll find that
the world
helps you (you)
get to
where you need to be
(where you need to be)
making connections
after rejections
to help point you
(you)
in the right right right direction

don’t take it too hard 
you’ve done your part
now you’re stronger 
this was a need
so that we could meet
thank you for helping me get back on my feet

slap in the face
shake me awake
but also a shoulder to cry on
more passengers on my support bandwagon

spread empathy
love regularly
you never know who needs it 
might not get it at home 
so be it 

it’s okay
cuz you’re never alone
you’re okay
ya okay
(okay) 
you’ll find that
the world
helps you (you)
get to

connections (thank you khaled)

how can one interaction
ruin my mood
oh
cuz i'm nothing but nice
and they had to be rude
well imma stop that toxic shit here
i ain't gonna spread that around
and i may only be one person
but imma make my existence count

don't forget
we're human
we all have feelings
don't take it out on me
show some empathy
and compassion
use it in every interaction
be the love that you never received
and you'll get it back eventually
be the change that you wanna see
and we'll show the world 
where love

how can someone hurt me
the way you did
oh
cuz you gave me hope
but moved on quick
well i hope that she's the one
cuz i don't wish that
she's a filler because you feel sad
and in the end you'll just leave her

don't forget 
we're human
we all have feelings
don't take it out on her
don't hurt another
and compassion
use it in every interaction
be the love that you never received
and you'll get it back eventually
be the change that you wanna see
and we'll show the world 
where love

i wish there was something 
that i could do 
(i wish)
to make the pain
go away
but i know this is all here
to teach me 
so i welcome it with open arms
so i

don't forget 
we're human
we all have feelings
don't take it out on me
show some empathy
and compassion
use it in every interaction
be the love that you never receieved
and you'll get it back eventually
be the change that you wanna see
and we'll show the world
where love begins

where love x7

where love begins

It’s so hard to trust these days
don’t know which is your true face
now i’m merely speaking from experience
but I shouldn’t worry right now cuz we’re just having fun

oh no, I feel it
going at it a different pace
occupying my mind
every day
don’t know how you feel
what’s the deal
are we compatible
are you gonna go
I won’t stop you

you always say you’re right
and we said we’d never fight
but I want to
fight for you  
Let me give you what I think you need
don’t want to waste your time or mine I hope it’s me
we’re tired of the bullshit
and uh
too early for commitment
so I
i’ll ask this
do you wanna kick it with me
  
You make it real hard to leave the next day
The way you smile after I kiss your face
Whooo you’re never too much, give me an adrenline rush
what— let’s give it 5 more, 10 more, 30 minutes later

now I really gotta go
missing out on your embrace
occupying my mind
everyday
don’t know how you feel
what’s the deal
are we compatible
are you gonna go 
I won’t stop you

fight

there ain't no way to describe
i see the look in your eyes
i know what's going on
you're overthinking
don't do this to yourself
your feelings' over felt
broken record deals
your heart is reeling
you'll only suffer twice
find scissors cut the ties
don't be predictable
go and roll the dice

i've gotta stop this

don't allow
this to affect or get me down
fade in the background

overthinking (ft. andre seas)

February 21, 2020

I hope that I’ve learned my lessons for you
don’t want to project what I’ve been through
neglected on purpose
here at your service
i’m still unlearning and laying to rest 
cleaned up the mess that they left in my head
  
I am worthy of the love that I give
no need to doubt or get offended 
ha-ha-ha-i’ve  been on the run of my life
i’m not slowing down
i’ve got that second wind and i’m too high

alyssa joy
