Inside The Loneliness Of A Bad Guy

I still haven't heard from her I've seen her though Chase and the others have been keeping an eye on her for me

I hate to say it but I miss her I never knew how quiet my apartment is without her here I miss seeing her smile in the morning

I miss her scent, strawberries and vanilla I miss her laugh It used to echo through the apartment and now all I hear is the emptiness of my heart

The warmth in my chest has been replaced It's been replaced with an ache An ache for her

I wish she'd just let me explain things I didn't think, I just acted It wasn't just about what he said, I pictured him hurting her

And I couldn't bear it

So I struck him And I struck him again Then a third time

I saw the look in her eyes It was the look everyone else gives me Like they're afraid of me

I would never hurt her I wouldn't let myself If I ever hurt he'd I'd be hurting myself because she's a part of me

Why did she have to go with him? It's my own fault She probably doesn't trust me anymore

I'll do anything to make her trust me again Chase told me, they've been fighting in public He screams at her and calls her names

I wish she'd just realize I can protect her from him, I can protect her from anyone, anything

Even myself

This ache hurts me I couldn't sleep last night I was too busy thinking of her and how much I wish she'd just call me

I don't want to know what it is to not know her anymore I don't want to forget how someone's smile can warm my skin And I don't want to forget how her voice makes my heart throb

I don't want to forget her I miss her hugs And how she'd wear my sweatshirts

I just miss her

The Heart Of A Bad Guy

I woke up at three this morning She knocked on my door Which was weird, since I live above a bar

She was covered in tears and that made the warmth return As much as I wanted to remove the warmth I couldn't turn her away

I let her in and she told me that they got into an argument He raised his hand to her No one is allowed to do that

No one.

I grabbed the vodka from my freezer And pour us some glasses She was still upset, so I grabbed the whiskey

We got to talking and I made her laugh She smiled and... That changed everything for me

I never wanted to see her cry again Ugh... I don't know what it is about her I don't know what it is about the warmth

I don't want to feel this way I don't know how to feel this way But I do and I can't see her hurt again

And if he ever, Ever raises his hand to her again I will hurt him like I've hurt people before
