Messenger Lyrics

Today I changed your name in our messenger chat

Because I'm trying hard to forget the past

Because I need to distance myself from you

Because your the only one who sees me straight through

For the damaged and beautiful person I am

For the sadness that I harbor in my ocean within

For the passion I'm petrified to admit

For the love that I'm terrified to try and understand

Today I wrote a poem and I meant every word

I tried to make sense of my work and this world

I feel pretty selfish but there's too much to learn

It's been a while since I said something worth being heard

Because the day to day keeps me ground right down

And an arrow won't fly if the bows not drawn

Every person I know has a fire within

Between pressure and debt we're all forced to pretend

Today I cried a little on the factory floor

It wasn't because my feet and back was sore

I had Mandolin Rain cranked up and pumping in my ears

Bruce Hornsby's piano done went and confirmed all my fears

I went to the bathroom and I pulled out my phone

Composed you a message about how I am wrong

This man that I am is just too scared

I told you that I love you but I just can't care

How hard can it be to be honest and good

If I knew myself better then maybe I could

I've got a dark dark mind and a body I abuse

Quit wasting time, there's hard work to do

I'm talking to you

Whys it take another person to show us all this

In life we get just a couple chances

To know true love and hold it tight

I'm here for you if you ever might

Need me

Like I needed you

Need me

Like I want you to
