The day has come and I don't know what to say
She likes you
Now I have to pretend everything's okay.
-- Lisa Gilbert

I hate the rules of friendship, I really do
I wonder what would happen if I were to come out and say I can't get over you?
-- Lisa Gilbert

The days fly by
But time passes so slow
The feelings I have for you only I know.
-- Lisa Gilbert

I've messed with too many hearts
I've caused too much pain
Now I have to live with my choices
Even if that means living in vain.
-- Lisa Gilbert

It's like playing with fire
This game that we play
Living out our desire
Day by day
-- Lisa Gilbert

We aren't simply friends
There's more to it than that
I don't see an end
And I'm happy with that
-- Lisa Gilbert

I Miss, I Wish...

My vision becomes hazy
as I drift into sleep-
My thoughts are accumulating
so beautiful I could weep.
For they are in the past
locked away tight-
I doubt all the wrongs
could ever be made right.
I miss the love
the love I thought could be for life-
I rely on those memories
when all that remains is strife.
I try to forget
what once was so true-
I have started again
with someone new.
Words are awkward
and expectations too high-
I kiss him, feel no sparks
and wonder why.
In a state of confusion
is where I exist-
And to have a great love once again
is all that I wish.

To walk away and reflect on the past
One will discover things taken too fast.
The softer memories bring bittersweet tears
And sometimes leaves a heart struggling with fears
Mistakes were foolishly made
While consequences hastily paid
All for the desire of something new
This is reality's abrupt cue.
-- Lisa Gilbert

I'm in your thoughts
I'm in your dreams
I'm everywhere, or so it seems
-- Lisa Gilbert

I haunt your mind like a whisper in the wind
I locked your heart
Never to be opened again
-- Lisa Gilbert

My touch lingers
And you can't move on
You're stuck in the past,
While I'm long gone
-- Lisa Gilbert

To end this year
To start again
To step off the easy road
To leave behind
To try not to cry
To let go of the old
To welcome the new
To grow up
To become another face in the crowd
To be on my own
To become strong
To attempt to succeed
To accomplish a goal
To find a career
...to end my senior year...
-- Lisa Gilbert

So put your party hat on
And kiss the boys like you mean it
Some of them could treat you right
But you're too scared to see it
-- Lisa Gilbert

'Cause tonight isn't about the rules
It's about breaking free
-- Lisa Gilbert

A million adoring guys can't make you happy if you don't love yourself.
-- Lisa Gilbert

Could we at least pretend to be the happy, lovesick teenagers we used to be, before time and mistakes left this love feeling numb?
-- Lisa Gilbert

Love me again, like you used to. We're too young to be acting like a worn-out marriage.
-- Lisa Gilbert

She kept backup boys wrapped around her finger...
...Because they adored her
The way he didn't...
-- Lisa Gilbert

Sometimes I look back on my life and fear that all the good parts are over. That there's nothing left to look forward to. That the secret of happiness is sitting back in high school, in a time that I took for granted, in rushed childhood scenes, in days I can never get back.
-- Lisa Gilbert

Yeah I am suspicious and paranoid. The ease of the excuses and the beautiful quips seem unnatural and rehearsed. I'd believe them, but that's gotten me hurt in the past.
-- Lisa Gilbert

For once, I'd like to be the one who gets friends out of the blue and has to put you on the sidelines, never thinking to invite you along.
-- Lisa Gilbert

Keep going, let's make it a crime.
All the way, one more time.
-- Lisa Gilbert

One unexpected, forbidden kiss sent my mind running wild, my heart fluttering, and my body dying to break the rules.
-- Lisa Gilbert

I've given up and you'll have to forgive me. It's too hard to keep moving when I'm running on empty.
