Fire
The fire in her eyes/
I can't see/
But I can hear them screaming from the living room couch/
"Try coming in/
You'll cry again/
Like the thousand times before/
And a thousand times more"/
Standing outside, afraid to face/
The eyes filled with fire/
The heat makes me cringe/
The eyes filled with fire/
Make mine brim with tears/
Don't want to go in . . ./
Burning right through me/
Words like flames/
Singes my pride - Hell, I thought I was pure/
"You treat me like shit/
'Cause you think I'm a bitch"/
What's my fault?/
What's my fault?/
I think I'll sleep tonight/
Only if I'm good . . ./
Standing outside, afraid to face/
The eyes filled with fire/
The heat makes me cringe/
The eyes filled with fire/
Make mine brim with tears/
I'll leave myself here/
Who's the bad guy?/
Daddy says it's not me . . . no, not me/UNFINISHED
Good Boy You say I'm yours/Because my garter hangs from your rearview mirror/Although that day was/Pretty miserable for the both of us/It still hangs here/Like my trust on a thread/Connecting me to your best friends/And the cigarette butts in your yard/And the Mike's Hard Lemonade in your car/Empty bottles in the front seat/You really should learn to keep your car neat/You're the good boy/Embracing me/Because I'm little and sweet/Embracing your flaws/Would be easy for me/If you put out your cigarette/So you could see/That breaking the laws of love/And us/Will never get me to give you the sex/You ask for when I turn 17/Not until you're the real good boy/That I mean/(And even then I wouldn't even think of giving it to you. Who the hell do you think I am, anyway?)./UNFINISHED
Love Song You/Gorgeous you/You wrap me up and take me in/It's all so clean and warmAnd I'm safe/Inside your eyes/Their warmth just melts away/The past/And dries the tears I've cried/I never thought I'd live to see/The happiness you've shown me/I feel like I could fly away/With you right there beside me/Inside your hand's/The answer to my prayers/And the best part of it all is/It's you/BRIDGE/You'd never hurt me/And it's comforting to know that/You'll always listen to me/I never thought I'd find/That someone would love me/With the strength and the happiness/Freedom from loneliness;/Give me the love I'd return/But then you/Then you/Me/You make me/Realize I'm special/That I'm beautiful; it's wonderful/I love/That you are not afraid/To realize you love me/And that all of this could mean something/I never thought I'd live to see/A person who could just see me/I feel like nothing's in my way/I can laugh or cry, and it's okay/You've loved me until/I could love myself/Thank you/You
