I tell a played out story
A classic well-known tale
I feel pretty pathetic
I guess you had your fun
I guess you had your fun

You put your arms around me
You promised more than this
And all the world went silent
I hoped for truth and fell for it
I fell for all your tricks

I'm an easy target
I am weak and harmless
Throw me away 'til footprints only remain on my face
Let's stop our pretending
I'll cut right to the ending
I've come to terms with the truth
I'm the girl that has to lose

I learned of your intentions 
You played your part so well
I let down my defenses 
I let myself believe
I fell so easily

I'm an easy target
I am weak and harmless
Throw me away 'til footprints only remain on my face
Let's stop our pretending
I'll cut right to the ending
Baby, I'm not blaming you
I'm the girl that has to lose

It's not that hard to hide
When silence is easy to find
I'm shaking, I'm breaking
I'm seasick from my rocky past
Little girl dreams of love are fading fast

I'm an easy target
I am weak and harmless
Throw me away 'til footprints only remain on my face
Let's stop our pretending
I'll cut right to the ending
I've learned why the sky is blue
I'm the girl that has to lose

Easy Target

It was when the ground was wet, 
The concrete in puzzle pieces. 
Initialed trees with hollow bark 
And forgotten feelings. 
The orange glow of summer sun 
Soaked my body. 
The holes in my shoes 
Reminded me of the days when we’d dream 
Of a bigger moment than this, 
Of the who and the what and the when, 
I’ve been missing you ever since then. 

They say that we’re young, 
But I’ve been growing older. 
And I’ve realized one thing 
So I’ll give you full disclosure. 
Some days are leading to nothing,
But sometimes nothing’s better than something. 

Ooh my hands they are shaking behind 
The shield that I’ve held up so high.
Ooh the colors have started to blend, 
The spinning is starting again.

The crowded streets scream.
They’re vying for attention
In a sea of green.
The world stuck in apprehension.
“Let’s live for the moment” 
Is what they advise
But the moment is gone 
By the time they realize.

Ooh my hands they are shaking behind 
The shield that I’ve held up so high.
Ooh the colors have started to blend, 
The spinning is starting again.

Is this the best I’ll be? 
Won’t you promise me 
That I won’t lose my way. 
That you’ll be here to stay.
If this is the best it gets,
I only have one request: 
That I’ll be good enough. 
Will that be good enough?

Ooh my hands they are shaking behind 
The shield that I’ve held up so high.
Ooh the colors have started to blend, 
The motion is blurred in my head.
And I’m trying, but I’m dying to feel the rain on my skin.
I’ve forgiven, not forgotten, and now it is going to begin.
The spinning is starting again.
 


Spinning

Days go by like waves
Crashing over the words we say
While we sit and stare
I see my old friends change
But I wake up and I feel the same
A hopeless affair

Ooh, where'd the time go?
Ooh, where did we go? We go?

I thought I was lost
Searching for something
But I found myself
In the waves of the ocean
We all need to stop
Thinking of 
What's done is done

We made a promise to never forget 
We'd beat the odds, but years came and they went
And I'll be honest, I'm better this way
I'll be honest, I cut the dead weight

Ooh, high school's over
Ooh, you've peaked and I'm starting over

I thought I was lost
Searching for something
But I found myself
In the waves of the ocean
We all need to stop
Thinking of 
What's done is done

And all of this time
I've tried and I've prayed 
To settle my dues 
Correct my mistakes
But nothing's ever good enough 
To please whoever says what's what
So I'm giving it up, and doing what's right for me

I thought I was lost
Searching for something
But I found myself
In the waves of the ocean
We all need to stop
Thinking of 
What's done is done

I'm done.

What's Done Is Done

Words fail when time stops 
And you have nothing left to say
If I knew where you are
Maybe then I’d be O.K.

I’d like to believe
That I have someone looking out for me 
The whisper that causes the breeze

You’d sing me songs
And you taught me to be brave
I still see your face in picture frames
But I worry it’ll fade

I’d like to believe 
That there’s a G-d and that he set you free
And now you’re the whisper that causes the breeze

I’ve battled for so long
I’ve struggled to stay strong
You better believe I’ve had a burning in my throat
But then I found your note

Words fail when time stops
But you found me anyway
The words you wrote are carved into my scars
And they won’t ever go away

I know it’s better now
And I can feel you in the air somehow
I know you’ve been whispering to me
I know it’s your whisper that causes the breeze
