Bitter Regrets

I've had the same dream 
Again and again 
Night after night 
And I spend day after day 
Thinking about what it means 

I'm standing in front of that building 
Looking up to look you in the eyes 
And the words 
That were once stuck in my mouth 
Escaped 
And you looked me in my eyes 
And told me what you never said 

But before those words can escape
I wake up drenched in the same feeling 
Of overwhelming bitterness 
Not bittersweet just bitter 
And regret consumes my mind 

And it's almost been three years 
And maybe I've grown
And we've both matured 
And maybe we left that forever for a reason 
But maybe one day it'll come back to us 
And the words that were stuck in my mind 
Can finally find a way out

  • Speak

    Today felt the same as yesterday  
    Nothing changed 
    But there was a silence 
    That echoed in the voices 
    I heard 

    Today felt as if nothing changed 
    I got up brushed my teeth 

  • Nothing remains

    Nothing lives here anymore
    Nothing remains 
    We all grew up 
    And went our own ways 
    And nothing is left to prove we 
    Ever were there 

    Your bike was given to your little brother 

  • I hope

    I hope every time 
    You see the stars at night
    Painted on that black Texas sky 
    You think of me 

    I hope you think of me 
    When you see the mountains 
    And how they're framed by the sky
