Time Frame

A one time offence
Is usually forgiven
A second time
Maybe not so much
But a third?
I guess it's true
That the
"Third time's the charm"

Three years past
First time offence
Maybe it was for the better
We all hurt
We cried
We wanted back our history
But it was gone

Nine months past
Second offence
It was for the better
It didn't hurt so bad
A single tear was shed
We moved on fairly quickly
We forgot the history
And it was gone

Five months past
Third offence
Definitely for the better
Hurt like a band-aid
Short and sweet
No crying this time
The days went by
The past didn't exist
Everything is gone

I Guess I Want To Defy Gravity

Letting myself
Go and feel
Everything I want to feel
Letting myself trust
My first instinct
And take that leap of faith

Feeling free
Feeling happy
Getting over
The hurt
The pain
The insecurity

How is it that some
Things change so fast?

Picking a Star

Differentiating between what should
Have happened and what did
Is like trying to capture a sunbeam

Whether or not I can understand it
Is like trying to tell the difference
From two identical stars
Two identical moments

More so than ever, I feel it
More so than ever, I can't

Where is the logic in this?
Where was the reasoning?
Where was the truth?

I'll pin-point the stars
And pray to Goddess
I pick the right one

Definitely

Funny how I ended up
On this road

Three times
Morning, noon, night
One song
One voice

Funny how I looked in
This direction

Oh, most definitely
Not the norm
Oh, most definitely
Not the usual
But definitely
Definitely
What I want right now

Funny how the daydreams
Are more constant

Funny how I'm blown
Away

Oh, most definitely
Not the norm
Oh, most definitely
Not the usual
But definitely
Definitely
What I want right now

What Happened Then

What about now?
What happened then shouldn't
Have affected me
But it does
I can't control this
My tears fall like rain

What about now?
What happened in the past
Should be gone
But it's not
I can't believe this
My heart breaks like mirrors

So here's to you
Congratulations on hurting me
Again and again
I feel lost and confused
And it's dark
Here's to you
Congratulations on being like them
Again and again
I'm alone and confused
And it's dark

What about now?
What happened back there
Should be over
But it's not
I can't understand this
My voice cracks in the phrases

What about now?
What happened every time
Should have been forgotten
But they aren't
I can't follow this
My heart sings for an answer

Here's to you
Congratulations on hurting me
Again and again
I'm lost and confused
And it's dark
Here's to you
Congratulations on being like them
Again and again
I'm alone and lost
And it's dark

Sometimes Comical Relief Isn't That Funny

Isn't it funny
How when we look back
We know what should
Have been said?

Isn't it funny
That feelings like these
Still can't be forgotten
And released?

Isn't it funny
How when we look back
We know what
To blame?

Isn't it funny
How we've grown?

What I Know Now

There we have it
That reason for me to forget
Why is it that the guilt
Can never cease?

I asked for release
I got it
But the memories are
Never gone

I know it's not my fault
I know it's for the best
I know it's what I wanted
But why is it so hard?

Everytime it leaves my mind
The past comes back to haunt me
And I don't want it
I don't want it

I asked for a chance
I got it
But the past can never
Let me go

I know it's not my fault
I know it's for the best
I know it's what I wanted
But why is it so hard?

And I know it wasn't easy
I know it wasn't fair
I know it messed up the balance
We worked so hard to get

I asked for a chance
I got it
But the past can never
Let me go

I know it wasn't easy
I know it wasn't fair
I know it fixed the balance
That I knew wasn't there

I know that I can do this
I know I can forget
I know that I am stronger
Than I ever knew
