You know you love someone when you're lying in bed at night and you roll over to get that text from them and you're so incredibly tired yet, you still smile.


Lost inside the rubble that used to be my life until I saw your face and realized that there is no such thing as a perfect life; no matter what anyone thought you were always gonna be there

Now I’m broken and scarred but you’re looking past that and you’re seeing the girl inside instead of me plasticized; everyone is telling me what I should be but you’re willing to take me, scars and all

Lost inside the rubble that used to be my life until I saw your face and realized that there is no such thing as a perfect life; no matter what anyone thought you were always gonna be there

You say you can’t imagine life without me; but I don’t believe you because I’m nothing extraordinary, I’m extra ordinary but for some reason you like that; I’m just battered and bruised not worth your time

Lost inside the rubble that used to be my life until I saw your face and realized that there is no such thing as a perfect life; no matter what anyone thought you were always gonna be there

Now I can’t find you all the colors are gone outta my life it’s all faded into a black nothingness; the only thing I hear is the echo of your voice saying goodbye then the door slamming in the distance

Lost inside the rubble that used to be my life until I saw your face and realized that there is no such thing as a perfect life; no matter what anyone thought you were always gonna be there

Then I hear the sound of an alarm; realize I’m dreaming, and you’re asleep next to me; you don’t know what the demons in my head are trying to do to us; only you can see through the shadows, through the rubble

Lost inside the rubble that used to be my life until I saw your face and realized that there is no such thing as a perfect life; no matter what anyone thought you were always gonna be there

Now I’m not so broken anymore…
