"Without Reciprocation"

I was the one that you turned to

When the world had you down

You needed a shoulder to cry on

And now that it’s all said and done

You abandoned me

I defended your case for days

When no one believed you

You took everything I gave to you

And when it came to helping me

You abandoned me

I should have known

I would give you everything

Without reciprocation

It was easy

To take everything I gave

Without reciprocation

It was when you were down and out

I was there with a hand

To help dig you out of depression

It was just the right thing to do

You don’t feel the same

I took a chance here helping you

I felt that it was right

I just knew you’d be there for me

But in hindsight I can now say

You don’t feel the same

I should have known

I would give you everything

Without reciprocation

It was easy

To take everything I gave

Without reciprocation

I guess I didn’t know you well enough

To believe you’d take and take

And not be there for me when I was down

I should have listened to someone who knew you

I was warned and now I’m scorned

So shame on me for being so naive

I should have known

I would give you everything

Without reciprocation

It was easy

To take everything I gave

Without reciprocation

"This House"

I came home

To an empty house

Without you here

It doesn’t feel the same

Here I am

In an empty space

All by myself

Why aren’t you here with me

I find myself looking for you

Reaching for your pillow

Looking for your face

This house

Isn’t a home

Without you here

I need you

This house

Isn’t a home

Without you here

I’m lonely

Lonely nights

Are all that I face

The silence grows

Without your TV shows

I try to

fill this empty void

here in my heart

that just won’t be the same

I find myself looking for love

Needing that emotion

It just won’t replace

I find myself looking for you

Reaching for your pillow

Looking for your face

This house

Isn’t a home

Without you here

I need you

This house

Isn’t a home

Without you here

I’m lonely

"Electric Forest"

The monster in my mind, won't let me go
It has let me be defined, just let me go
It tells me all these lies that I believe
Catching me by surprise, when I don't see

I’m charged up in an electric forest

Lost without direction

But to excited to care

I should trust you but I can’t

I’m sorry, I’m sorry

I made up all these lies, to destruct me

And to destroy us too, I was blind

I followed the insanity for what

Only chaos that will make me insane

I’m charged up in an electric forest

Excited by the spark

With no map to set me free

I should trust you my mistake

I’m sorry, I’m sorry

I made my mistake

Now I’ll follow you blindly

Don’t lead me wrong, don’t lead me wrong…

"Your Response To My Infidelity"

I’m looking for a little therapy

So my heart will get over you

Maybe throwing out your things

Will make me forget the pain

I’ve been receiving lots of empathy

But no one knows this shade of blue

So much for these wedding rings

Now I’ll never feel the same

Cleaning the house you left behind

Doesn’t make me miss you any less

You’re gone, you’re gone

You’re gone, you’re gone

I should be moving on but I’m not

Your smell still lingers in our room

There’s nothing I can do here

To erase these memories

So you killed my heart with just one shot

A broken heart left to consume

Tears cried since you disappeared

Nothing left but memories

Cleaning the house you left behind

Doesn’t make me miss you less

You’re gone, you’re gone

You’re gone, you’re gone

"Puzzle Piece"

I don’t connect with my family

I came along a little too late

I don’t connect with your friends

I guess we just don’t relate

Am I better off alone, better off dead

As I wonder through life by myself

I question everything

Why don’t I fit in

Why don’t I belong

Why don’t I connect

With anyone

It’s only you who will see me through

But I feel it’s something you regret

You always have more fun without me

I guess we just don’t relate

I just feel like I’m hollow, like I’m dead

As I wonder through life by myself

I question everything

Why don’t I fit in

Why don’t I belong

Why don’t I connect

With anyone

Where’s the puzzle I belong to

Or am I a miss-matched piece

Why don’t I enjoy life

Why don’t I feel it

Why don’t I connect

With anyone

"Coward"

Should I be scared, be afraid

Of someone I only know by name

You say he’s a friend from way back when

But you only speak to him when I’m away

Is it my fear, of theft

That someone will just steal you away

That has me now on the verge of tears

Or my guilty conscience from my past mistakes

I’m a coward, I’m afraid

To confront you with my fears

I’m a coward, I’m afraid

To tell you about my tears

If he’s nothing, just a friend

Then don’t be afraid to speak his name

I’m not insecure enough to scream

With rage unless there’s something else you won’t say

I’ve told you once, told you twice

Your honest is all that I need

So why do I feel I need to find

The things that you always say are never there

I’m a coward, I’m afraid

To confront you with my fears

I’m a coward, I’m afraid

To tell you about my tears

You just say no, don’t worry

It’s all in my head I’m just crazy

I want to believe you to trust you

Why won’t I listen I should just believe you

"Dumb Fool"

Just because you don’t tell me

Doesn’t mean I don’t know

I’m not too blind not to see

The things you think I shouldn’t know

You won’t break my heart like that

I won’t be a victim

I won’t be your fall back on

I won’t sit at home while you don’t

I’m not as dumb as you think I am

Don’t play me for the fool you’ll make yourself

You think you’re slick, but you’re not

You’re a slimy lying cheat

Leave me here with love to rot

While you’re trying to be discrete

My heart won't break for you now

It's too numb to care so

Feel free to fuck around
When you come back I will be gone

I’m not as dumb as you think I am

Don’t play me for the fool you’ll make yourself

What do you tell everyone?

Who am I in your world?

Why do you play like we’re done?

I refuse to be your dumb fool

I’m not as dumb as you think I am

Don’t play me for the fool you’ll make yourself
