This is How I Breathe

Some songs will never be sung to the one they were intended for.
Sometimes when we move on, the song we wrote changes for someone new.
Some songs speak of love, or life, or something we just can't convey in anything but a lyric.
Good songs are the ones we can each interpret in our own way.
Music and song can make you think more deeply, can heal you, can remind you of what you have or what you have lost.
A song is my way of transforming what is written on my heart and mind into something I can feel from a different perspective.
These are songs I have written in many different stages of life. I have always loved and found peace and enlightenment in songwriting, and so I wrote lyrics, some with music and some without, to help me breathe and cope. All for the imaginary band going on in my head.
For Past and Future Crushes.
And Everyone Else.

Give You Back
How, how can I
watch you fail me countless times
and still feel the ache
pulling harder every time I see
your face
whether it be
in my dreams
or in reality.
And what would I give
to give you back and forget
the first time that we met
and every step you took
after that
to ruin my life
When the moment comes I'll give you back.
When, when will I
see the lesson that I'm learning?
I try to hold on tight
but my heart just keeps on burning
I can't stop now
I've gone too far
And now you've ripped me apart.
And what would I give
to give you back and forget
the first time that we met
and every step you took
after that
to ruin my life
And what would I give
to give you back and forget
the first time that we met
and every step you took
after that
to ruin my life
When the moment comes I'll give you back.
You'll never know my pain
you'll never understand my brain
I don't get it either but
I know you call my name!
And what would I give
to give you back and forget
the first time that we met
and every step you took
after that
to ruin my life
When the moment comes I'll give you back.
Why, why don't I
stop trying to believe a lie
I know you can't give me
what I needed if you tried
I want
your love
but no one can give it to me.
And what would I give
to give you back and forget
the first time that we met
and every step you took
after that
to ruin my life
When the moment comes I'll give you back.
Something I Can't Hide
(unfinished)
There's something I can't hide
It's rooted in my soul
and it's taken up my pride
There's something I can't say
but I'll tell you if you stop and stay
Stop
and think about it
there's nothing I won't give
to keep you by my side
for as long as I live
