Healing Hurts

I want a heart that's made of glass so you cut yourself when you break it and feel it for a while
I had a friend who broke his arm one night roller skating. He said "Healing hurts." I know.
Sorry's not gonna cut it anymore. You're nowhere near as sorry as I look. People seem to think that I'm good, but they don't know what I'd do if I could.

As Magic As It Gets

I won't hurt you
anymore
than I have to
Is this virtue a vice if it keeps me from living my life?
Baby, don't go
Every time you do bad thoughts start cooking in my brain
Darling, please tell me that you'll stay
You're as magic as it gets
I've tried, but I can't love you less
You were my favorite distraction, you were the only one
Now it's you I need distracted from
Baby, don't go
Every time you do bad thoughts start cooking in my brain
Darling, please tell me that you'll stay

Staring at yourself in someone else's mirror won't take away the doubt or any of those fears that are shadowing your eyes every time you wash your face for bed and kiss them all goodnight
Just kiss it all goodnight
Laying in the dark in a corner of the house
Troublesome at best
Empty at your worst
You repeat her name so that the meaning will wear off
Say it again and again but the pain still won't stop
Tell me what you need and I'll write it down
You can make me bleed, I won't make a sound
Tell me what you see and I'll write it down
Go on, cut me deep, and I won't make a sound

They say now's not the time. Is it ever? You say you hate how this feels, but it's how I've felt forever.
I came up for air and your beauty was blinding. You were treading water. I was treading lightly.
I've been so tired. I've been so sad, but I guess I'm getting pretty good at that
You're not the one. Is anyone ever? No no no no. Our chances keep getting slimmer.
I've been so tired. I've been so sad, but I guess I'm getting pretty good at that.
I miss your smile. I miss your laugh, and all the hope we had.
Oh heavens, I don't know what I'm doing now - as if I ever did.
But I didn't feel quite this alone with you here.
You're not the one. Is anyone ever? No no no no. My mind's not any better.
