The reason I'm alive

She loved the night

For the stars that reminded her

She was still alive 

One hell of a brick

They painted my vocabulary with curse words and graffiti

I'm a brick

I let them decide what I would be

I'm just a brick

My mom replaced me with stucco walls

Just a brick

I stay home on Friday nights, because I never was a student section kind of person

I didn't get asked to Homecoming

Brick

My boyfriend hits on my 30 year old sister

Brick Brick Brick 

They tear me down and still expect me to lift them up 

But the pain built up inside actually held me together

And I didn't crumble under pressure

I stood my ground

I chose to be one hell of a brick

Sunday Eyes

I never was the holy type

yet somehow I always knew God sent you to me

I found you in my prayers

and now I see heaven in your eyes

those sunday eyes, they stole me away

I would have never taken you for a sinner

but if the worst lie you ever told was that you loved me

I would forgive you

as long as you're mine for another week

I'll wait patiently for saturday to end  

and have faith that when I wake up

you'll still be lying next to me 

because no matter how often you leave

those sunday eyes will always be back for more
