this small room
It's barely big enough for the bed and this piano
When I lay on the floor I almost touch all 4 walls.
It now holds so many secrets I hadn't let out before I moved in.
It's Home now. I don't want to go...
Cuz here in this small room I'm Yours.
Here in this room we uncovered a Tenderness we'd each lost so long ago.
Here in this small room we changed.
Here in this small room my heart remains...
Come visit the Love i'll leave behind to hold you when you are in Need.
I promise- it will be Here.
Your cologne still lingers on my pillow case,
my t-shirts, my jackets, my gloves...
It makes my heart break with ease...
Cuz in this small room I was Yours.
In this room you held my head in your hands when I couldn't look in your Eyes.
Cuz this small room held such a Truth.
Here in this small room i Fell for you...
When something's over where does the Love go?
When you've tried SO HARD, how do you Let go?
To this small room I'll return.
In this small room I hope you're waiting...
Then in this small room we can Hide... away...
But for now- I guess this is Goodbye.
and I will be Waiting...

believe again
i can't believe i'm here again
these city lights don't help anyone
to pretend they're not alone.
we fell so fast that now you're gone...
and i can't believe i'm here- again.
i can't believe i fell again
someone my age surely should know better than to believe in love...
but you fell so fast- it made ME start -
and i can't believe that i opened up just for you to break my heart...
cuz when does it ever pay off?
well i guess it does- for everyone BUT me.
why am i SO easy for everyone to leave?
don't they SEE me?
or do they see me, perfectly-
and THAT'S why they go.....
am i why they go? oh....
i can't believe i'm here again
playing the piano next to the bed i always sleep in alone.
time now to let my ego mend
cuz i can't believe i'm here again.
i can't believe i'm here again
these city lights don't help anyone
to pretend they're not alone.
we fell so fast that now you're gone...
and i can't believe i'm here- again.

i'd forgotten
if you knew what i'd done
if you knew what i'd seen
would you stay? would you remain with me?
and put in all the work that being a boyfriend means?
would you still read to me?
late at night - sing me to sleep...?
would you act like we'd never met for me
cuz you know - that's my favorite game....
i had wanted a man in my life so long
i'd forgotten what it's like...
and i promised that i would be good to him
but i never thought he would lie....
i could die...
would you let me take your sweater?
your favorite one... the blue one with paint on it.
would you give up something that means so much to you
just because you know it would mean more to me?
would you introduce me to your parents?
would you make this fling a real thing?
would you stop seeing all of those other girls
and promise that your lips will only touch just me?
i had wanted a man in my life for so long
i'd forgotten how deceitful they can be
and i promised that i would be good to him
if he gave me everything that i could need
i have wanted a man in my life for so long
i'd forgotten just how painful they can be
and i promise that i will be good to him
if he gives me everything that i need -
- so i bleed.
i know it's my fault
that much i see...
i can't go inside...
his rain will follow me.....
if you knew what i'd done
if you knew what i'd seen
would you stay? would you remain with me?
and put in all the work that being a boyfriend means?

just wait and see...
someday you'll see what you let go in me
and you'll regret- just wait and see.
how could you not appreciate all that i am?
someday you'll see what you let go in me
and you'll regret- just wait and see.
when i've moved on - you'll be left wasting away.
cause i work on my problems. i work on my issues.
i try to overcome weakness in myself-
but can you say the same?
someday you'll see what you let go in me
and you'll regret- just wait and see.
when he's holding me and you can do nothing but watch.
someday you'll know pain- like what you did to me
and you'll reach out and try to hold me
just to make sense of what you have done to your life...
but my arms cannot hold you.
your ego's too big for my grasp.
so don't bother wasting my time
cause i have SO little to spare.
and to be honest- i don't really care about you anymore.
someday you'll see what you let go in me
and you'll regret- just wait and see.

we are not meant for these
i know its a lot to ask but
i never really thought you'd go -
well, now i know.
and i know i'm a lot to handle, but
you seemed so up for the task at hand
how could i misunderstand again?
its always me... isn't it?
at least it seems that way to me.
and i know myself pretty well, but
i still have trouble sorting this stuff out
why don't men come with a manual that says:
"when we play mad - we're really flirting.
and, when we say "stay", it really means 'i'll go'"....
at least i know now -
that we are not meant for these.
it finally hit me - and now i'm at ease....
we are not meant to go through this together
not now...
somehow...

what you did to me
it doesn't matter - i knew it.
it doesn't matter - i called it long before i knew it didn't matter
one bit to you.
i know you don't care - i feel it.
i knew you didn't long before i knew it didn't matter
any more to you.
so why are you still here
with flowers and guilty tears?
why did you show up at all tonight?
and why are you still making excuses for betraying me?
no excuse could ever undo the things
that you did to me.
i won't forget this - i know it.
i won't forget this - and yet i want to.
i won't forget this no matter how hard i try.
it had to end - i know that.
it had to end - and i'm left wondering if you had to hurt me so bad
just to get your point across?
why don't you just leave me alone?
its 2 a.m. GO HOME.
stop banging down my door!
you'll wake up the neighbors -
who never even liked you!
they SAW what you put me through.
go sell your story to someone who'll buy your lies...
cuz it's not me! SO STOP.
your one hit has flopped -
so stop singing that sad tune.
you'll NEVER undo the things
that you did to me.

i'm not easy to love
im not easy to love.
i WILL push you away.
you won't know what is wrong- which makes it harder to stay...
i don't expect much!
just to be let down...
cause i'm NOT easy to love.
loads before you have cried
cause i'm NOT easy to love!
so you might not even want to try...
im not easy to love.
i WILL push you away.

my lovely
i had an idea of what we would be
and then you proceeded to WILL that dream right out of me.
we exceeded my expectations...
it started as nothing. nowhere to begin.
then you found the center of my arm and DARED me to win...
you TOTALLY suckered me in..
what do i do? here. now. without YOU... ?
i'm up and over.
im running slower.
im crawling faster.
GRASPING at your breath to keep you here...
its hard then smooth. starts rough, then softly we move...
and i just canNOT get enough of you- my Lovely.
we're not in an ideal situation.
i can't stress enough how i wish we could run back to sunset bay
and LIVE in those moments we stole.
i've not been so happy in SUCH a long time.
to find love. and FEEL love. and MAKE such love - only to realize?
i can't really have you... at all...
what do i do? now that i've lost you... ?
i'm up and over.
running slower.
my chest is rising- SO full of the words that you whisper to me...
its hard enough to LOVE you! but then not to be allowed to keep you here! ???!!!!
something about you just DREW me right in.
i can't explain! DONT ask me to begin..
i'll not find the words to adequately explain to you how you blow me away...
now i'm up and over! i'm running slower. i'm crawling faster- GRASPING at your breath to keep you here!
its hard then smooth! started rough now softly we move...
and i just canNOT get enough of YOU-
my Lovely.

distracting
start at the top of my head and work down to my ears…
and maybe then I’ll hear what you want me to hear,
instead of listening to how your eyes
plead with me to lift up my chin just half an inch to your lips…
yes, cover my ears with your hands!
or I’ll never hear your sweet words- though I would listen all day.
your eyes are enough to get my mind to stray away from the task at…
hand me your cologne
the cologne that you love me to wear...
especially in summer when it soaks deep into our skin and…
how are you SO beautiful?
it’s distracting…
mmmmm...
start at the top of my head and work down to my neck…
and maybe I can get my thoughts out straight this time instead of listening to how your breath
pleads with me to lift my face up to look into your eyes...
those eyes that will surely be the DEATH of me!
though I would die AGAIN! and OVER. and OVER.
if it meant I got to grow just ONE day older in your arms…
how are you SO beautiful?
it’s distracting…

the ukulele song
imagine this on tiny strings
imagine you're hearing me sing so sweet
above the strumming.
imagine every perfect chord
is like a tiny, perfect sword of love
as i beguile you.
a happiness is lurking in this cheese
i wish that i could perfectly capture
just how weak you make my knees...
i wish that i could play the ukelele
but i wish more that you would sing along
i wish that i could play the ukelele
cuz every morning i would write you a new song....
imagine this on tiny strings
imagine you're hearing me sing so sweet
above the giggles
the laughs come easy as i hit each wrong note
as i sing to you of how much i adore you...
a happiness is lacking on these keys...
i need the small sound of the thing
i know could stop my stuttering -
i wish that i could play the ukelele!
cuz neighbors hear my piano from above...
i wish that i could play the ukelele
cuz every night in bed, i'd sing to you a song
of our love....

boy who's afraid
it's overdue - the way you look at me... how i see you...
is it for reals? or cause i don't know you as well as i could...
it sure feels real - when you don't wanna say goodbye to me...
but is it for reals? or will you let your fear take over again...?
can't we just run? can't we just run away to where its safe?
no judging eyes.... no skeptic sighs to make us contemplate and negate.
what we have here - it's real... its Lovely...
but will it proceed?
or will it fizzle in your fear of love?
boy who's afraid...
boy who's afraid of me...
i'm not a threat! i will not spill your secrets, or forget..
and it's not a show. i know you're scared, but we can take it slow...
you must know - that i'm not THAT good - i can't feign adoration...
why can't you see? i'm ready to give you EVERYTHING.....
boy who's afraid...
maybe that's why you're afraid of me..
cuz i will not run! i will not run or hide or stop the fight
like you fought for me -
but didn't continue.... you dropped the ball.
and then there i was - in mid fall.
just look in my eyes - it's all there
all you need to see...
boy who's afraid
boy who's afraid of me....
don't be afraid -
don't be afraid of me.
it's overdue - the way you look at me... how i see you...

my new headlight
because it rained all night it felt all right
to stay indoors
all day and all night
under sheets of blue i found you by my side
just like old times...
and i watched your mouth
as the rain fell down
you said "i'm with you now...."
God... how you move me.
so we braved the cold, drove real slow
i watched the road turn bright
thanks to my new headlight...
and i tried real hard not to cry
when you said "tomorrow doesn't have to mean goodbye"
cuz i know you're right...
and when we walked through sand you said understand
and so i took your hand....
because you move me...
and you called my bluff
you said "come shell, no one's that tough-
why don't you give it up"??
that's how you move me...

give me love
i had been out of the game so long i had forgotten the rules
deception at every turn.
no truth in the glances i take chances on.
so why don't you TELL me what you want this time.
cause last time you couldn't HANDLE me.
you couldn't give me love and that is ALL i need
so if you cant open up- i'll just keep moving on.
this is our second time around, so what makes me think you've changed?
am i setting myself up to be disrespected, rejected- again?!
my friends all think i am a FOOL to believe.
but i KNOW you'll come through and MAKE them see-
that you couldn't give me love- but now that is ALL you need!
no need to pretend we're strong
cause we've both found something to hang onto!
don't make me eat my words...
don't MAKE me erase this song...
don't make a LIAR about you AGAIN.
just please that you can come through!!!
cause i'm looking for a LOVE- that brings us to our KNEES!
NOTHING else feels as good as what's between you and me.
but if we can't find the love after all we've been through-
i'll leave you to someone who won't drive you CRAZY the way I do...

march 11 marks the moment i stopped convincing myself- it had to be "this" or "that"
i made a RUN for it, like i had run away...
march 11 marks the day i started a new life- and YOU were part of that.
how quickly it comes and goes...
how speedily love can choose to grow apart.
how quickly it comes and goes-
and now? we will NEVER know.
march 19, 8 shorts days later you put up a fight when someone tried to pull us away.
march 23, my mom's BIRTHDAY! you said you loved me SO deeply you couldn't BEAR to look away.
i CHOSE to believe in you. you SAID this was DIFFERENT!
the dream that would ACTUALLY come true...
june 4- and it's ALREADY over.
and all i can do? is walk. away.
how quickly it comes and goes.
how speedily love can choose to grow apart.
how quickly it comes and goes!
why our love didn't last? i will NEVER know.

NOT your typical valentine
well i'd be lying if i said i'd never loved somebody else
the way i find i love you
i have a history of attracting emotionally unavailable men...
and i'd be lying if i said this is the last time
i will ever make this mistake again
i can't help it, i'm destructive....
and sometimes it feels SO good...
so don't try to "fix" me, and don't try to "save" me.
and don't try to turn me into somebody who fits into your little safe box.
just let me love you like i want to...
well i'd be lying if i claimed i never pictured our future
after all that you said....
you got me. you hooked me...
and you reeled me in...
but i'd be lying if i said it doesn't hurt me
when you disappear for days at a time...
i get it. you need "space"....
well, i need space too.
cuz i'm not your typical. i don't want a husband.
i just want a man who takes responsibility for what he SAYS he will do...
and i wanna LOVE YOU.
so why can't be? just let it happen...
just be as normal as two people who are slowly falling in love can be...
we don't have to shut down...
we can just give in to what feels right
and let it be whatever its gonna be....
cuz i'd be lying if i said i've never loved somebody else
the way i think i love you...
but it's different.... somehow... i just know it is...
and i'd be lying if i said this is the last time i will
ever let myself fall again...
but i want to... with you...
it feels RIGHT - with you.
its BETTER...
this Love i have found -
with you.

DAMAGE
what did i say that i need to make amends for?
what did i do to you that i should be feeling bad for?
how can i repair the damage i've done
when i don't know what i did wrong in the first place?
why don't you make it easy on me
and just tell me what you want me to apologize for this time?
i got my feet wet in deeper waters than i'd expected.
i turned to you as i was drowning, but you were nowhere to be found
thanks a LOT.
you have no idea how hard that summer was on me...
would it kill you to think of someone else
while you're out being wild and free?!
how can i repair the damage we've done
when you're unwilling to accept half of the blame?!
why can't you ever take it easy on me?
but instead you force me to create excuses for your mounting underachievements.
how can i repair the damage you've done
when i can't see reconciliation in our future.
why does the blame always and forever get shoved on me?!
well i think it's time you grew up to see
that the world won't be as tolerant as me
and if you're wanting to be successful
you can't just push- you HAVE to pull.
and if you want me to take responsibility
for you- you'll do this for me:
take a step back and just open your eyes
and you'll see it's YOU who owes ME a "sorry" this time.

why?!
why am i so easy to leave?
why am i not even worth half of the fight
you said i would inspire - now that we're here?
why am i so easy to leave?
why am i always the one left holding on
to promises i though THIS TIME would come true?
cuz i should know better....
i just can't believe i'm here with you - of all people...
i never thought this would be us.
... but here we are -
and all that i can do-
is let you go.

grown up vows
this is the part where i admit i can't live without you,
and this is the scene where you're holding my face in your hands...
this is the moment i stop being so self-destructive
and this is the moment I finally see all i am.
it wouldn't have happened without you.
i wouldn't have done it alone.
this wouldn't have happened without you...
this is the part where i tell you - i think that you're perfect.
and whatever imperfections arise I will embrace.
you helped me let go of my need to appear indestructive.
and you helped me see that the flaws are the best part of all.
that wouldn't have happened without you
no, that wouldn't have happened at all.
this wouldn't have happened without you...
this is the part where i admit that i've always Loved you.
the first time our eyes met - i knew that the change had begun.
and though we both fought it we're here now and in this together.
and though we both fought it, i ALWAYS knew you were "the one"...
and that wouldn't have happened without you!
the strength inside of me broke through...
i LOVE who i am now -
thank you...

him:
start at the foot of my bed and work up to my knees...
and wrap yourself around me - like i've never been held.
and i will fall again... and over... and over...
if it means i'll never grow another day older in your arms...
her:
i'm not the one who's beautiful
you're projecting -
it's you <3

to give in, and give up control

they're ALL for you from now on...
you'd forgotten what youre worth
you spend all your time concentrating on everyone but you
you'd forgotten what it feels like to have someone hold you.
REALLY hold you
and id forgotten what its like
to be on an equal playing field where the only "game" we play -
"who loves who more in this moment." and what guess- in THIS moment?
i win.

i'm not easy to love (reprise)
her:
im not easy to love
i will push you away
you won't know what is wrong
which makes it harder to stay...
i dont expect much! just to be let down...
cause i'm NOT easy to love.
loads before you have cried
cause i'm NOT EASY to LOVE!
so you might not even want to try...
him:
i know it's important for you to stay guarded
and i know what it feels like to not have ANYONE come through
i know pain's important- i won't take that from you...
but FIND A WAY to HEAR me when i say-
you are NOT hard to love.
it comes EASY to ME!
you are not hard to love.
i guess, no one yet has MADE you see-
that we ALL adore you! every. last. tear.
so i stand before you BEGGING you- to let me (he puts his hand on her heart) in here...
cause you are not hard to love.
it's effortless as i breathe...
you are NOT hard to love...

someday you'll see what you've done to me
and you'll believe all that i say!
how when you're holding me- the whole world just MELTS AWAY!
someday you'll see what you mean to me
i will SHOW you! just wait and see...
how you're PERFECT. you're EVERYTHING i'll EVER need..
my arms will hold you!
your face i'll caress with my hands...
we'll dance! my god- how we'll always dance..

away/bows
point the wheels, steer me back home
gliding through trees as sun rises on bees...
bees flying back to their sweet stems with such ease
point the wheels, let's join them...
rain streaks the road, makes it harder to get home
but obstacles make it mean so much more
sun leaks out from the mountains straight ahead
tomorrow we'll see the same sun rising - safe in bed
you helped me find my way....
away... away.... away....
point the wheels, steer me back home
