"I am nothing now and it's been so long. Since I've heard the sound, the sound of my only hope."
-Paramore: My Heart
Have you ever loved someone so much that you wished you could forget their name
Have you ever loved someone so much that with whatever they did, it could not be tamed
Have you ever loved someone so much that it was yourself you blamed
For that person not loving you back exactly the same
Sometimes I wish I knew what went on in your head so I could know if you ever thought of me
Sometimes I wish I could lay down in your bed, and in your arms fall asleep
Maybe it is these fantasies that led me too deep
Whatever the case, after all is said, I will still wish it is you I can keep
Have you ever cried so much that at one point the tears stopped coming
Have you ever died so much inside that soon you felt like nothing
Have you ever tried so much to get over a person that after a while it seemed you were only bluffing
To yourself and everyone else, when all you have been doing is running
Sometimes you look at me and smile the way you do
Sometimes I look back and cannot help but smile that way too
Sometimes I fool myself into thinking you feel it and that you have always knew
Then I have to force myself back to reality to know that that is the farthest from true
Have you ever felt so pathetic even when you know you were right
Have you ever felt hollow inside, so weak, and unable to put up a fight
Have you ever felt feeling so deep, turned so shallow over night
I know you have not, because you are strong, and I have no might
Sometimes I cry tears that hold so many memories
They wash down my cheeks and weld into tragedies
Sometimes I say your name, then hide from the caused calamities
Still, I think of you, slowly teetering on the brink of insanity
Have you ever loved someone so much that you wished you could forget their name
Have you ever loved someone so much that with whatever they did, it could not be tamed
Have you ever loved someone so much that it was yourself you blamed
For that person not loving you back exactly the same
