Some Songs I've Been Working On

I made a deal with the devil
to keep this pain away
I've made a deal with the devil
just to make you stay

It's my name on the contract
My name on the line

---

I can see it in your eyes
You're wondering
What I see in her
I can't explain

If you could see
the way she is
when we're alone

if you could only see
the way she was
When we were alone

I can only see
the way she is
I think I'd better be alone

---

I was only sixteen
it took you five weeks
to break me, inch by savage inch

It took you five days,
When I was twenty-eight
to break me, inch by savage inch

---

You said that you loved me
said you adored me
said you'd do anything for me
but now...
but now...

I hear you're chasing after someone else's tale
Making yourself the hero
of someone else's life
they'll say that yours is the greatest
tragedy ever told
but what am I?
Where do I fit in?

(Bridge)
Now you're gone
and I wonder
am I just the girl you
cast aside
at the end of act one?

You said that you loved me
said you adored me
said you'd do anything for me
You swore by the moon
You swore by the stars
You swore you'd be true
but now...
but now...

teach me how to forget to think
of you
Teach me how not to sink
under the burden of you
Teach me how not to drown
in the unkept promises
which are all you left me with

You said that you loved me
said you adored me
said you'd do anything for me

---

the sky does not turn for your decision
worlds do not depend on you
Only I, and I alone,
and I change the stars for no one

you don't see me
you won't see me
any more
