Calamity 02:48
Dont say goodbye Cause that means you have to leave I was waiting to see you all week It's not your fault That I'm brought to my knees I will find you eventually ~I've been getting sick of being stuck here You've always been so close to me My heart can't take another day without you So I'll stay here in calamity~ And the quiet always seemed to get to me It's 3am and I can't seem to sleep Cause all I see in my dreams is another time of you and me But now the beds empty constantly ~I've been getting sick of being stuck here You've always been so close to me My heart can't take another day without you So I'll stay here in calamity~ You're so close but so far away I'd give an arm and a leg just to see you again But those three words that I say to you every day Don't seem to ever change a thing ~I've been getting sick of being stuck here You've always been so close to me My heart can't take another day without you So I'll stay here in calamity~

We can make it out alive But I don't think I can make the next few months without you by my side And I'm changing the lock on my door Just in case I end up unconscious on the floor I guess it's been to long since I saw you last I never knew 8 months could go by so fast And I've started drinking every single day I guess the effects are catching up on me ~I better not say what's on my mind I better not let you know what's killing me inside I hope that you won't go through with it Because you're my everything~ Anchored down in place four months ago And I swear I still see you in my sleep We always said the world wasn't built for people like us But that didn't mean I was asking you to leave ~I better not say what's on my mind I better not let you know what's killing me inside I hope that you won't go through with it Because you're my everything~ We've been apart for months now I've been busy picking up the pieces you left of me this time around This is a pretty big mess you've made You've taken a pretty big part of me ~I better not say what's on my mind I better not let you know what's killing me inside I hope that you won't go through with it Because you're my everything~

Naminé 01:56
I'll try to keep you on the line But I'm driving through a tunnel towards the light I can't make promises to stay When it's hard enough for me to walk away ~tell me that you've got me on your mind Persuade me to catch my breath and stay for the night I don't need convincing to fall for you Forgive me if I'm wrong but, do you still want me too?~ I'm trying my best to last the next few days I'm sorry for behaving the worst kind of way If all I have is you then I've got a lot to lose But I can't seem to stabilize my mind keeps running loose ~tell me that you've got me on your mind Persuade me to catch my breath and stay for the night I don't need convincing to fall for you Forgive me if I'm wrong but, do you still want me too?~ I'll make up a million excuses just to save you from me But I can't seem to keep you away All I'm needing now is some resolution Do you want me to stay?

Maybe I could stay Maybe it's worth waiting a couple of days Just to see If you love me Maybe it's a long shot Maybe I'm not even on your radar You're definitely too good for me But a boy can dream ~Maybe I could stay on your mind Because you're always on mine Maybe we could share a kiss With luck like mine Id probably miss But I'll hope that you'll stick around Cause I can't picture leaving this time around Maybe you could fall in love, fall for me Maybe I'm just dreaming Maybe I could stay Cause you're perfect to me~ Maybe I should leave Maybe I'm not good enough to be The one you need Because I'm falling apart, tragically I should learn to be More capable at this Because I've spent so many years Feeling all sorts of sick ~Maybe I could stay on your mind Because you're always on mine Maybe we could share a kiss With luck like mine Id probably miss But I'll hope that you'll stick around Cause I can't picture leaving this time around Maybe you could fall in love, fall for me Maybe I'm just dreaming Maybe I could stay Cause you're perfect to me~ Maybe I could stay Maybe I could be More than just another boy from Sydney Maybe it's a long shot that you'd ever fall for me But I'm known to keep dreaming ~Maybe I could stay on your mind Because you're always on mine Maybe we could share a kiss With luck like mine Id probably miss But I'll hope that you'll stick around Cause I can't picture leaving this time around Maybe you could fall in love, fall for me Maybe I'm just dreaming Maybe I could stay Cause you're perfect to me~

I guess I've been distant And I wasn't there when you needed me most But I don't understand How things changed And all the calls I made to you To make sure you stuck by me I hope you don't resent me Because I chose to leave ~some things just aren't meant to be So you really can't blame me You're the reason I kept missing out on sleep I'll set myself straight and try to move away Because calamity is all you've left for me~ I guess I should be sorry now you're probably a mess I guess you'll want to blame me Because I never seemed to ever give a shit I'm just 'too busy" Too concerned with making amends You'll never really miss me You're just gonna miss the taste of my lips ~some things just aren't meant to be So you really can't blame me You're the reason I kept missing out on sleep I'll set myself straight and try to move Further away Because calamity is all you've left for me~ You're just Another reason I can't seem to sleep And all this time I spent here On the telephone You never answered it You better not come back here I'm happy now I've Called it quits You're just a memory, I've learned How to fight my ghosts And move on from this Another tragic chapter I'll burn the pages But I'll always remember it I've learned How to fight your ghosts You won't be missed
