Perception Vs. Reality

It is what it is, it’s not what it’s not
Sometimes it’s a win, sometimes it’s a loss
Sometimes in life the roads are paived
Sometimes in life the skies are gray

Here we are judging each other
Life’s more than just your Facebook cover
And you can smile and post another pic
But it’s really so much more than this

So judge as you will – judge as you must
Have your friends – those you trust
At the end of the day,
things aren’t like your dreams –
You see what people show
Things aren’t as they seem.

Late Nights

Late nights
Happy endings
They call it lust –
It’s love pretending

Secrets kept
Deleted texted
They call it passion
But they forget

Passion fades
Hearts break
Torn between
Regret and mistake

Late nights
Happy endings
They call it lust –
It’s love pretending.

Standardized Common Sense

There’s a reason they’re called an X
Because you’re left wondering Y
And they generally text
Just to say goodnight

When you’re moving on
They come around
Late at night, when you’re asleep
And there’s no other love found

You hold onto hope
Thinking they’ll change
But like the alphabet
Letters can’t be rearranged

So they sing the ABC’s
The lies they tell
Trying to get to you
Trying to lay their spell

But you know their games
And they don’t give an F
So they sing their lies
All the way to the X

But there’s a reason they’re called an X
Because you’re left wondering Y
And the z is for the zen I’ll feel
When you’re no longer in my life.

Close The Door Behind You

He says it’s more than casual
That you’re the only one
The late night texts and calls
Aren’t numbers that he knows

Maybe this time will be different
Maybe he’s telling the truth
And maybe he cares just as much –
Maybe he loves you too

But maybe he’s the same
And maybe you’re wrong
And this time when he leaves
Tell him to stay gone

He says he was sick and at work
He thought you were just as busy
The lack of texts and calls –
He says he’s really sorry

You’re the first in his new bed
He missed you every day
And you believe him every time
Because you feel the same

But maybe nothing’s changed
And maybe you’re wrong
When he leaves this time
Tell him to stay gone

So you check his phone
When he’s in the other room
And maybe she’s nothing
Maybe he’s choosing you

But maybe you’re the same
And maybe I’m wrong
If I am, this time
Leave and stay gone.

Less Is More

I need a lot less
in this life than the less
I already have.

But I deserve a lot more
than the more that
I’ve received.

I feel so much more
than I ever really
wanted to.

But here I am praying
I could be the one
to save you.

And of all the things
I have, I’ve lost
or have known.

The one thing
that always remains
is everything goes.
