Life for Rent

LIFE FOR RENT
sung by Dido
I haven't really ever found a place that I call home
I never stick around quite long enough to make it
I apologize that once again I'm not in love
But it's not as if I mind
that your heart ain't exactly breaking

It's just a thought, only a thought

But if my life is for rent and I don't lean to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine

I've always thought
that I would love to live by the sea
To travel the world alone
and live my life more simply
I have no idea what's happened to that dream
Cos there's really nothing left here to stop me

It's just a thought, only a thought

But if my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine

While my heart is a shield and I won't let it down
While I am so afraid to fail so I won't even try
Well how can I say I'm alive

If my life is for rent...

I wrote a couple of poems tonight, sad ones. I think I watched too much Grey's Anatomy for the past week :p Ah well, I love to write so I write.

HEART OF GOLD
26.7.09
23:06/by Vei
There she stood in the rain not feeling the cold
She’s digging a hole to hide herself
But all she’s hiding from is her heart of gold.
She never judged people no matter what they’ve done
She cared for everyone
Even those who repeatedly let her down.
Soaked and shivering she stares at the hole she’s dug
I know she wants to cry
But she’s been crying all her life and now she’s tired.
I wish I stayed long enough but my heart was breaking
Every second I watched her hurting
I wish I never left her side
Even just to say goodbye
Here I am standing in the rain not feeling the cold
Wishing she was still here for me to hold
What I wouldn’t give to hear her heart beat again
That big heart of solid gold.

THE DAY
by Vei

I wish I could write songs
So I could sing these words to you
I written you many letters
But words on paper just wont do
I wish I could play my guitar
To make a perfect melody to tell you
That when you walked out of my life
I didn’t really think you’d go far
You came and went
That’s just how you are
I broke your heart and you broke mine too
I thought we could always start anew
We start as friends and then it gets deeper
I always made sure I am there to catch you
Each time you let yourself go and fall
And I always made sure I give you space
Every time you decide not to call
But I’d still write songs for you
If only I could
I’d learn to make the perfect melody
Oh yes, I would
Maybe that will make you love me
For longer than a day
And still love me when you’re sober
I believe in that day.
