Can't sleep
My thoughts are running of the edge
No where to go
They're stuck inside my head
All I seem to do
is think about you
Please release me
From this endless drift
Chorus:
Can you explain to me
How this was supposed to go
You took the initiative
I just followed along
Somewhere along the way
I got caught up
Seems right about the time
You dropped us
So I lay here late at night
Just thinking
Thoughts inside my mind
spinning and leaking
I try to sleep
but I can't
You've grabbed my mind
And you won't let go of it
Chorus
I tried so hard
To be the person that you wanted
And at the same time
Just be who I am
I was
I look the same when I look in the mirror today
Then I looked this same time last year
I take two pictures and put them side to side
And was right, thats the same girl there
So you loved me when I was the exact same girl, but straight
But all you can see is the gender of the person I want to be with
Im not defined by who I love
Im defined by what I do
And what I do is work to make our world a better place
The same as you claim to want to do
Dont judge me based on your own personal prejudices
Look at what I spend my time doing
Just because Im gay doesnt mean I sleep around
Or mean Im wrong
Its that time again
I can feel it deep inside
Even though youre in my arms
Tonight is our last night
The sun is falling outside the window
Its the saddest metaphor
Because when that sun returns again
Ill be gone
Chorus:
Ill be gone across an ocean
A few continents away
But never doubt that Ill miss you
I could never leave that way
I love you
Thats all I can say
And Ill be back again
Ill come back into your arms
As soon as I can
Please know Ill miss you
Its just that I have to go
I dont want to leave you
But this is the life we chose
Its not fo
Maybe I dont understand who I am right now
But one day I will
The hardest thing is to make the decision
To be who I am
Instead of who I want desperately to be
They tell me to wait
Sooner or later Ill figure it out
I know that in my head
But in my heart
Its hard to be that patient
Not knowing this about me
Is like missing a piece of the puzzle of me
If anyone should be able to put it together
You think it would be me
So I wait here
On the curb as my life goes by
Until one day as I watch I realized
This one piece doesnt decide what I do
Its a part of me
Not all of me
I can still live my life ev
Ive stared at this image for far to long
If it was going to say something it already would
Yet my heart cries out to it
Like its the only thing left in the world
And I dont know what to think anymore
My whole life has been searching in one direction
This about face seems so sudden
Almost as if its not real
Yet I cant deny the desire that fills my soul
When I see the one thing I know I shouldnt want
Things should be easier then this I think
But then if they were
They wouldnt be worth it
My heart cries out in torment
As it is split in two directions
Sooner or later one will have to fit
Im a creator not a destroyer
I like to build up
Not tear down
Yet sometimes words pour out I cant control
And I know they hurt someone
Its kind of like a weird
Out of body experience
I want to stop,
But on the other hand I want to just let it out
Can you forgive me?
For all the words I said
I wanted to protect you
Instead I just destroyed you
Even though sometimes
I know we wont agree
Please forgive me
If I say anything I dont mean
Its not often that I can say
I dont like someone
And its not often I deliberately
Say something bad about someone
But these last few months
I
This is where we are
The intersection of nowhere and everywhere
With the memories of times weve had
Lining the street in either direction
One side showing my past
The other showing yours
And one point in between
Showing where we connected
This is where we could be
If we let go of everything that held us back
The inhibitions of consequences
Created by our paranoid minds
Too afraid to let go of control
And just be who we could be
Just be who we are meant to be
This is where we were
It seems so different now
We can see our mistakes
The things we regret passing by
The people we lost to things we cant control
All of
Can't sleep
My thoughts are running of the edge
No where to go
They're stuck inside my head
All I seem to do
is think about you
Please release me
From this endless drift

So I was sitting in Starbucks with one of my sorority sisters and we got on the topic of how shitty some women behave while pregnant. I'm not talking about hormones and stuff, I'm talking about the more serious problems like smoking or drinking while they know they're pregnant. Naturally, since I have a one track mind, this got me thinking about the Florida Gay Adoption Ban. Can I just say wtf Florida?! A woman cannot be legally prosecuted if her child is born with fetal alcohol syndrome because alcohol is legal, but I can't legally adopt a kid because I'm gay. Apparently my sexual identity makes me a more unfit mother then someone who's too
I can take a hint, I'm not that slow
It's the tone of your voice
The look on your face when you say what should have been no
So if you're not interested just say it
Don't leave me here wondering, worrying, and waiting
Forgive me if I want that amount of respect
I'm not stupid, I'm just new at this
