Full of Potential

Though I know I think of things too fast
I can't help but look at the past
Yes I've gotten hurt before, that don't mean it'll happen more
I gotta get up and out off the floor
So one day I see you across the room
There are many things I see in you
Maybe I shouldn't jump right in, but you say come on and swim
Maybe this time will be a little different from the last time I jumped
The last time I jumped right in
This time I don't know why. But it just seems so right
You don't have to listen to anything I gotta say
I just wanna spend time with you
So maybe I could ask you out to a movie?
And then maybe we could get a smoothie?
Our friends they already knew it all, they were the ones who made the call
Shipping us together before we knew what we could do at all
This time I don't know why. But it just seems so right
You don't have to listen to anything I gotta say
I just wanna spend time with you
So maybe we could go and make it official?
and yes I always knew we had potential
The way you looked at me tonight
showed me that I couldn't even fight
the things I see and how I feel about you too
You know I love only you
This time I don't know why. But it just seems so right
You don't have to listen to anything I gotta say
I just wanna spend time with you

Wasted Potential

It seems like all this time I already knew what you would do to me
and although I knew it well I couldn't stand to break your spell that you had cast on me
But now here you are you say it now and I can't stand how I let it past me
So I hope you don't mind me now, I think I'll leave this world somehow we're not meant to be
So you waste my time
Please don't watch me cry
Certain things work out but now I don't know
You know I feel so alone
So you don't feel for me the things that I couldn't see and yes I understand
There's so much I saw(r) in you and I knew we had potential to see it through
But of all my fears this one never appeared until I watched you leave
and yes I know we can be friends but things won't be the same again because I fell for you
So you waste my time
Please don't watch me cry
Certain things work out but now I don't know
You know I feel so alone
(In a crowded room with a staircase and a pond)
Ryan: I don't think I ever trusted you because I could see right through you. I wanted to believe so badly that you did like me. That I wasn't wasting my time. but everytime I would talk to you, it never seemed like you actually wanted me to be there
Maybe one day down the road we'll get together because we know we're one in two
and if it happens it will be nice because I'll know I won the fight and I will be with you
but I already know it won't so why should I even hope for what's in store for me.
I guess it sucks but hey that's life you don't even gotta do it twice this job it's not for me
So you waste my time
Please don't watch me cry
Certain things work out but now I don't know
You know I feel so alone

When you were introduced to me you said that you could save me from the things I endured over my past I was sure that you would be my last.
As time went on I was proven wrong as everything wouldn't last for long but even when we fell apart, I thought we would be friends from the start.
But now you cease to exist and you fail to come when I reminisce in the deepest parts of my mind you can't even make it to the sublime
I regret you more than all those whores that I wasted time with before.
You're worse than them and what they bring. So what were you it rhymed with something.
As time passed by I opened my eyes and I moved on from all of my cries
I spent over your dull looks I knew that we were one for the books. I moved on at your request and knew that it would be for the best. But as soon as we came together you threw all the salt and ruffled my feathers
But now you cease to exist and you fail to come when I reminisce in the deepest parts of my mind you can't even make it to the sublime
I regret you more than all those whores that I wasted time with before.
You're worse than them and what they bring. So what were you it rhymed with something.
You'll probably point out that I contradict a fair amount when I say I forget about you but I remember the things that you do. You see here's how as I write this down I remember you right now but a year from then I'll have only this and this faceless body that I don't miss
What were you? It rhymed with something
All you are to me is nothing
