Stuck in reverse

There's things that I've been meaning to say
A flicker of doubt, that keeps screaming out.
So I push and I shove, but my courage backs up,
And I'm left here again, stuck in reverse.

Got close one day in trying to explain
All my fears to you.
But you flashed me that smile to throw me of the trail.
And I'm left here again, stuck in reverse.

I swear I keep seeing glimpses of you
Between cracks in the blinds and at unearthly times.
You're going somewhere else when you used to want to see me.
Leaving me stuck in reverse.

It's true, I won't deny
The interest between us has faded away
Conversations, more like interviews and interrogations
Hollow throughout, riddled with doubt
A feeble excuse for two lovers to use

It's sad you can't admit the truth
Come clean with me and yourself
So back to your friend who be both know you pretend you don't see
Leave me stuck in reverse.

Soft and Needy

Time can change, it's time to move on.
Is this the way that you feel?
So I bit my tongue, tried to hold on.
That's not the way that I felt.

So break me, break me,
Soft and needy.
Watch me bleeding,
So discreetly.
Save me, save me
Come back and haunt me.

Didn't know that you were the fool.
Always blamed myself as the rule.
Didn't know that you were the fool.

Struggling to find a mind to satisfy my appetite.
Is there a problem with me?
Oh you're pushing forward, pushing past.
Taking off and landing fast.
Leave me behind on the runway.

So break me, break me,
Soft and needy.
Watch me bleeding,
So discreetly.
Save me, save me.
Come back and haunt me.

Watch me, watch me,
Pave my only path to glory
Through this story.
Watch me, watch me,
As I fall
I guess it all kind of got me going home.

King and Queen

Please get your chair away from the window,
I know that you're no Rapunzel.
But I bet if you let your hair down
I would try to jump out, climb up and rescue you.

Can't you see? It's not you,
It's you and me.
Can't you see? We're not free,
We're King and Queen.
We're stuck together like branches stuck to a tree

Don't run, don't run
This rope's not very long.
You pull, I'll fall
Then my darling we are done.

Now I see it's not you
It's me entirely.
Now I see we're not free,
We're King and Queen.
We were forced together like actors into a scene.

Don't run, don't run
This rope's not very long.
You pull, I'll fall
Then my darling we are done.

Hark! Can you hear the angels cry?
They've seen the damage
They saw the sparks fly
They pulled their King out from gutter
After you churned his brain like milk into butter
Oh cry for me now, cry for me
Don't you know you've got to cry for me now
Cry for me
