Knight in Shining White Armour

Lately everywhere around me
There are stories of fairy tales
But hey, this is for you
Who stopped believin’ them
Told me they don’t come true
I’m sorry girl
The one who broke your heart
Sorry he shattered your world
Thinkin’ he played the part

I understand how hard it’s been
That there is no happiness
After all that you’ve seen
And baby you can’t love me
I can barely utter wo ai ni
Cause you’re too scared it seems
Or maybe cause I’m too scared to dream
But I wish I could just hit rewind…

[Rewindin’ time
Going back to before
Returning to what we had
Before you shut the door
And just hit replay
Go back to our separate ways
Before I met you]

She always said that fairy tales aren’t true
And that her prince charming, never did come through
But baby please believe me when I say
That an angel’s coming, here any day
She always believed that her ex was the best
And never smiled to me
Cause I was just like the rest
Oh girl please don’t cry
Here lemme dry your eyes
And let’s go on wishin’ for you
That I promise fairytales will come true

Let me take that step and do something crazy
And here is what I believe
I’ll turn the tables right around
And tell you what I’m bound
To do is to turn that no to a maybe
Cause although you think that I’m like the rest
But no worries I’ll turn it ‘round
"And change that maybe into a yes"

Brave for You

"...this one's for you."
Bravery: Being fearful, but standing up and facing the fear.

[Background information: a couple broke up over a dispute and the guy is shouting all his thoughts over the phone, not realizing that on the other end of the phone, the girl is sitting on the floor crying as she listens.]

"Girl, I know you’re hidin’
From me without reason
And I can only hear your silence
When I’m on the phone

I know you can’t love me
And that you want to leave
Before it’s dark, there’s no return
I’ll take this breath alone

I’ve been brave for you
It’s the best I can do
Holding my breath
Casting my thoughts away
Before our memories fade

I didn’t want you to worry
But that’s the least it seems
I don’t want our memories
For when I’m feeling lonely
I’ll just drown the thoughts away

I’ve been brave for you
I swear it’s the best I can do
I’ve been brave enough
To let go of my love

But please just talk to me
I never wanted this to be
Never wanted it to turn like this
I remember when I first met you
'Excuse me miss,
Can I get your name?'
Baby, I know things can't be the same
Between us, never again that kiss
The first one, that made me
Fall in love
Never again

I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I never meant for this to happen.
I've tried so hard pretendin'
I've tried so hard to be brave for you."

Baby Tell Me Why

[When roads get too long
I’ll be there when
You can’t carry on

But then hear me, babe
I have to ask this
Ask myself everyday...
Yeah]

Why – please tell me
Why not me?
When you had always said
We were meant to be

I – want to tell you
I want to love you
But just like another
I saw right through you

[I tried to out run
Another dream to shatter
Another picture to burn

But I’m stuck here
Asking myself this]

Why – please tell me
Why not me?
When I have everything
Anything that you will need

Cause baby I’ve been
I’ve been lost in another dream
When my eyes are closed
One where you are with me

[Say Hae]

Yeah?

[Hah. Where's my melody?]

Still Incompleted

08.17.2010
Found this somewhere. I talk to the person who treats me like dirt more than the person who used to make me feel amazing. Kinda sucks. Just kinda.


[Roses are red
Violets are blue
Sugar is sweet
And so are you]

Now wait a minute.
That’s not right
Not the right words
I need to say to you.
--

You say
I'm beautiful
Even when I'm not

You say
All the right things
That I want to hear

To you
I’m cute
When I’m angry

I have
You to wipe away tears
And be there
Smiling with me.

And I say
These words
From my heart

I want you to stay
Here by my side

All I can really say
To you and only
I love you
Forever and always

And when days
Fade away
Into darkness with no stars
I'll have you to hold onto

My heart stops
When you look at me
One kiss from you
And damn I can't breathe

Hey Cupid

[Hey Cupid
Didn’t think she
Got me by my tie
Stuck here even longer
Without her by my side…]

Oh baby, I never knew
That even after all these months
I’d still be texting you
I know it shouldn’t be
Something that I do
But babe I just can’t help it

Cause baby, all I know
That even after all these months
I still can’t let go
Making my way around
Thinking that another you
Just can’t be found
But babe I just can’t help it

You got me runnin’ in circles
You got me runnin’ from sorrows
Everyone knows that
I’m still not over you
Every time my heart goes through
I always end up texting you

I want you here with me
But it’s not all I need
Oh baby baby, can’t you see
This is what I need
Is for you to always be
My lady~

[Hey my first girl
Won’t you be my last girl
Hey my first kiss
Won’t you be my last –
Kiss…
You’re the one I miss]

Growing Up

Too tired of listening
To fairy tales you’re whispering
Feeling too old to believe
I can’t see what you see

It doesn’t exist, nothing
As true faith and trust
No, you won’t convince
Me, that there is magic dust

Walking through the shadows
Not ready to face tomorrow
I walk past your tales
Of past and ‘afore
Reality hides in the dark
Behind these closed doors

Yet every single dream
That I try to understand
Every word, every scene
No, I just can’t understand

I’m standing in line
Waiting my turn
I’m standing behind others
Waiting for childhood to burn

It’s so hard to believe
Every line and memory
These foolish fantasies
Of what you call…
These childish stories
Oh, what you call a dream

Nightmarish Dreams

I lie awake late at night
Curled up lifelessly in my bed
Unknown to others is my mind
The thoughts running through my head
I fight to restrain them
These memories uncontained then
And you enter my life once more
The way you embraced me like before
That was then...this is now
As Poe had vowed, "Nevermore."

Feverish imagination into nightmarish dreams
I sulk down the empty halls unseen
Stealthily evading capture, hunt
From your gaze I can't outrun
I stalk down in the shadows
Prey, lost like a child
Quietly breathing, quietly living
Another minute 'til tomorrow

The scene so familiar, forgotten
Like the glow of a dying ember
Memories like an extinguished flame
And I snap back into reality again

Tick Tock Tick Tock

The clock hums its ominous sound
I pray to God that I'm not found
Your voice once so sweet to me
Now frightens whole-heartedly
It calls out "Hae, where are you?"
The only answer is my heart beating

Thud Thud Thud

I bite my tongue and go on through
"Tell me you love me...dear!"
I mutter, "Only when we were near."
I must admit, I did before
But as Poe regretted, "Nevermore."

Your footsteps fade away
To think I'm saved for another day
A breath of relief escapes me
Another day, another day more
But an icy hand grips my shoulder
"Hae, we can be together
Together forever, it's what you believed."
Belief without a sense of reality.
You plunged a dagger into my heart
Thinking now death do us part

I wake up screaming...
Cold sweats in fear
Wake up screaming
With dreams so clear
The invisible pain at my chest
Faded as she comes in
To pick me back up and says
Just another dream.
