Questioning Love
|
Listening to your heart, I no longer feel alone. You've done so much for me, with the love you have shown. Your presence in my life came so suddenly, so fast. I feel I'm in a trance, into a curse I have been cast. The stars in the sky now seem brighter in the night. The twinkle in my eyes I never noticed now shines bright. But question sticks strong in my mind, "Is this really true?" Does destiny have it in the stars that I was meant for you? Or am I setting something up in my heart just for it to be torn down, And the smile I carry on my face, will it be turned to a frown? Will all the words you have told me , someday just be erased? And all the fears I have inside, someday have to be faced? And do you really mean it when you tell me, "I love you." Or are you just saying it so that I will stay true? I don't know if I should give this everything I have inside. I wonder if you've been straight with me or if you have ever lied. I just want things to be the way they are in a song. Where the guy gets the girl and nothing ever does go wrong. Maybe I'm just wishing for everything under the sun. Maybe I should just end this and everything could just be done. But my heart is too involved, so I'll just pray to up above, That this isn't just a game, that it's more, that it's love. |

The Game of Living
|
I've had a glimpse of heaven, but my life has been pure hell. Which way will I go? Sometimes it's hard to tell. Everyone I've ever loved Seems to turn and walk away. They never look back and notice All the prices I have to pay. It hurts me so badly when I cry myself to sleep, And look at all the promises That people never keep. I'm standing alone at a bridge With people on the other side. I can't get across to them, And I can't run and hide. So sometimes when it seems That I am so far away, And every time you talk to me, I seem to go astray. Or when for no apparent reason Tears come streaming down my face. And instead of showing happiness, My eyes are filled with disgrace. Don't wonder if it's something That has to do with you. It's not something you've said or done That has made me so blue. It's just all of these feelings That I have held inside. I've covered up for other people, To myself I have lied. It's not that I'm unhappy With the person that you are. I've just been so disappointed With the human race so far. I hope the person I've found in you Is like none I've ever known. And the person that is in your heart, Is the person you have shown. I'm not trying to put a burden on you. I'm not trying to make things hard. But life deals out many hands, And I am just one card. |

The One I Don't Love
|
You're not just what I need, I don't even want to try. So why do I stay? I should just say good-bye. But what will happen to you? The one I leave behind. The person you really deserve, You will have to find. It's not that I don't like you, But for some reason we just don't go. How could things have ended up? I guess we'll never know. You have a heart the size of Texas, And you have always treated me right. But it has already been too much stress, And I'm just not up for the fight. I wish that things could have been different. I wish there was a nicer way. But this is one of those games That I no longer want to play. |

Missing You
|
When I think about the times we had When it was just you and I I can't believe it all ended And I sit and wonder why It was all just so perfect It seemed like we were meant to be That it would come crashing to an end This I could not fore see I have survived, and moved on And I'm okay throughout the year Then the winter starts to fall And I miss you when Christmas time is near I remember all of the warm fires I remember running through the snow I remember the dances we went to So how was I supposed to know That one day we would split And our roads would go different ways Our paths would cross occasionally But that was the end of our together days I'll never forget the way you would smile Or the day you left how much I cried I'll always miss you so much At times I wish our love had never died |

Good-bye
|
I'll miss the way you look at me I'll miss the way you hold my hand I'll miss the fun times that we've had But I just can't make you understand I took the colors from the rainbow I took the stars from the sky I took the light out of the day All you gave was a chance to cry I loved the times we got along I'll treasure the good times we had I hate to say good-bye this way But lately you just make me sad I thought you'd keep your promises I thought that things could change I couldn't ever figure you out No wonder you would act so strange Why did you think you had to lie You knew I always trusted you The truth could never hurt as bad As finding out the things you would do I don't want to quit seeing you But things will always be the same I'll pretend that we never met Please forget the day I came I'll miss you always please don't forget Every time you cross my mind I cry But we weren't meant to be together That is why I must tell you good-bye |

Strength
|
Time will usually turn the table People aren't who you think they are You will give them everything you've got And out of nowhere they will stray afar But don't get discouraged Hang in 'til the end of the fight Things may not turn out how you planned them But somehow they turn out right Your on your own and all alone So where do you turn when there's no where to run And things got switched around on you So who do you tell when the tellings been done Sometimes you have to be your own hero Save yourself if no one else is there Take all chances if you need to Life isn't always supposed to be fair. |

Suicide
|
What do you do when you can't get away? You don't want to run, but you just can't stay. I keep running all of these questions through my head. Sometimes ya know, I wish I was dead. I can't decide whether to come or go. My life seems like it's moving so slow. I hate the life I am living in. Either way I just can't win. So two dozen roses and a bullet to the brain. I can't deal with all the heart ache, Can't deal with all the pain. Please get off of my back, I can't take anymore. I was riding on cloud nine, and came crashing to the floor. You want to ruin my life? You are half way there. You took what mattered to me, and left me with despair. |

Wishing the World Away
|
Feelings kept bottled up, sometimes need to let go Asking yourself questions, you just don't always know Wondering if you're the only one that feels the way you do Questioning why no one else will ever stick it through Asking yourself, "Am I the one, is it me that's wrong?" Hating someone you love so much, these feeling are too strong Wishing you could get away, find a completely different life Knowing you could end it all with the sharp blade of a knife Listening to everything and hating every word that's said Turning into what they want, prefering to be dead Lost when talking to yourself and nobody's home You've been told you can't fool yourself, you came in this world alone Wanting a straight road, on one that curves and bends I could sleep until the morning but this nightmare never ends I try and feel the sun's rays, everyone brings the rain They push and hold me down with all of their pain Lost inside my own world, reality never came Not knowing but I'm playing and losing at my own game I wish the world would go away and just leave me behind So I could rediscover who I am, and see what I could find I wish life could stand still and I could step back and see what's here Wanting so much to rid this pain, and gain control of my fear |
