and when it stops it stops

You said I began
This messy state of love affair
And I drink too much and smoke too fast
And this city’s cleared my innocence

Coffee is pouring out my ears
It’s the only thing they have in here
And my heart stops beating

And when it stops it stops
My heart stopped beating
And when it stops it stops
My heart stopped beating

Number tree still on my plate
I heard the trains are running late
And I laugh out loud
My life is a mess
I have gone too far
In my lifelessness

Another coffee it’s on the house
The poor girl look is on the owners spouse
And my heart stopped beating

And when it stops it stops
My heart stopped beating
And when it stops it stops
My heart stopped beating

Outside your house
To make a scene
In my head you grabbed me passionately
But the lights are out
And in an hour I walked on home
In the pouring shower
Lost my keys in front of me
My neighbor’s smile he’s handing me
The blackest coffee you will ever see

And my hearts stopped beating

And when it stops it stops
My heart stopped beating
And when it stops it stops
My heart stopped beating

heartstopper – emiliana torrini

i am

What if we stop having a ball?
What if the paint chips from the wall?
What if there’s always cups in the sink?
What if I’m not what you think I am?

What if I fall further than you?
What if you dream of somebody new?
What if I never let you win, chase you with a rolling pin?
Well what if I do?

I am giving up on making passes and
I am giving up on half empty glassess and
I am giving up on greener grasses.
I am giving up.

.
.

I am giving up for you.
I am giving up for you.
I am giving up.

Giving Up – Ingrid Michaelson

i wish you love

I wish you bluebirds in the spring

To give your heart a song to sing

And then a kiss, but more than this

I wish you love

And in July a lemonade

To cool you in some leafy glade

I wish you health

And more than wealth

I wish you love

My breaking heart and I agree

That you and I could never be

So with my best

My very best

I set you free

I wish you shelter from the storm

A cozy fire to keep you warm

But most of all when snowflakes fall

I wish you love

My breaking heart and I agree

That you and I could never be

So with my best

My very best

I set you free

I wish you shelter from the storm

A cozy fire to keep you warm

But most of all when snowflakes fall

I wish you love

But most of all when snowflakes fall

I wish you love.

Hold me, don’t ever leave me
Know me, never believe me
Stay here but don’t get too near me
Leave me, leave me alone
But don’t ever let me go

Show me, but don’t ever teach me
Touch me, don’t try to reach me
Hold me but don’t ever keep me
Baby, don’t ever let me in

And don’t let me win

’cause i leave myself to you
Yes, i release myself with you
I believe in me and you
So don’t ever say you do

Love me, try not to need me
Need me but don’t let the greed in
Feel free but don’t ever leave me
Give in, don’t ever let me
No, don’t ever let me win

Hold me, don’t ever leave me
Ask me but don’t ever make me
Save me, don’t ever forsake me
Call me but don’t ever say my name

Know what you do

’cause i leave myself to you
Yes i release myself with you
I believe in me and you
So don’t ever say you do

Don’t let me win
Just hold me

And you say “nina nina ninana….”

Now how can i let you go?

Hold me, don’t ever leave me
Love me but don’t ever let me
No, don’t ever let me win
