Some of y'all have been there- the fakey-fakeness of a relationship that's really over, but both sides are trying to hang on.


Nobody sees anyone in this town
There’s just silence in our eyes
So don’t say you’ll see me around
When what your really mean is goodbye

I ask what’s happened since you’ve gone
Nothing much is all that you reply
I tell you nothing’s been going on
What we really mean is goodbye

I will let it go
And give up this resistance
I already know
The truth about the distance

I promised that we wouldn’t change
But we both know that’s a lie
Inside of empty greetings exchanged
Is a final and freeing goodbye

So will let it go
And give up this resistance
I already know
The truth about the distance

The truth about the distance is there’s nothing left to fight for
So I’ve got to keep moving on
The truth about the distance is that the connection is gone

So will let it go

On shyness, which I have a lot of around boys:

Bathroom window to the sky
Walking down the halls and I don’t know why
Past the lockers and tabletops
I’m gonna walk until someone tells me to stop

I’m trying to learn how to speak
And building up my hope for another week
So I won’t collapse before second class
Or the moment you look at me

Little window in my heart
Wanna break free, don’t know how to start
Someday I’ll be brave enough
I’ll tell you the reasons why I’m not giving up

Forget the tears, I’m gonna smile
I’m trying not to care
Maybe I am in denial
At least I’m not in despair

I’m gonna to learn how to speak
And build up my hope for another week
So I won’t collapse before second class
Or the moment you look at me
