Give Up On Me

Can you please just give up on me?
Because I'm giving up on everything.
I need to take a nice long break,
So my heart can eliminate this ache.
Everything has just been so wrong,
I need more time to become strong.
So you can give up on me just for now
As I give up for as long as my heart allows.

You're Something

You broke so many of my rules. You reached hardly any of my high standards. You were unmotivated, you weren't anybody I was looking for, you just seemed silly. But you were also charming, you were an individual, you were unexpected. It was a breath of fresh air. I thought of you as strange when you first started pursuing me, comical even. Your face would light up any time our eyes met. I wasn't expecting anything real from you. But you thought I was funny. You liked when I acted less than nice and pleasant. You liked me when I was myself. And I liked you more than I thought I ever would.
It's sad how attracted we were to each other because we ended up here, like this. Our end was so uneventful and non-extraordinary when we were anything but. I wasn't planning on you; I certainly didn't see you coming but you still managed to make your mark on my heart, though you only stuck around for such a short amount of time. I wanted to end on a good note so we would have an opportunity to restart later on, but you had other plans because your mind was elsewhere like always. I wasn't ready to give you up. I still feel like we haven't reached our end. It's still silly, like it has always been.
I don't know what will happen next year when I see you again. I don't know where I will be. I don't know what you will want. I don't know what I want, even now. I don't know if anything will come of us. I don't know what I'm hoping for. I don't know if we are already gone for good. I don't know how naive I'm being about all of this. I don't know what you're thinking or feeling. I don't know why I still care about you so much. I don't know what your intentions were at the start or what they are now or what they will be. I don't know if you still think about kissing me. I don't know if you still think about the way you would look at my hair in class. All I know is you're something. And I like that. A lot.

I Didn't Mean to Break Your Heart

Renaissance Man, I'm sorry your heart is broken
From words between us that weren't spoken
I know it's my fault your love had to shatter
So I promise I won't ask you what's the matter
I'm trying to be fair to you and give you your space
Since I realize approaching you is not in my place
I know you really cared about me as I did for you
Don't think this was what I wanted to put you through
I still believe we were on the same wavelength
But in certain ways it faltered in its strength
You pictured us together without any doubt
Imagining a future that I wasn't sure about
I couldn't help but be hesitant about this
But now it's your presence that I really do miss
I wish you and I hadn't ended up this way
And I hope we will talk just like before some day
I'm so sorry that we ended before we could start
Renaissance Man, I didn't mean to break your heart
