BEAUTIFUL WITH ME

BEAUTIFUL WITH ME

Sometimes I wonder how it would be without you
Then I try to convince myself that’d never happen
As my eyes fill with tears, I reminisce on the times we’ve shared

I want you around, but I need to prepare myself for the worst
Too many people have broken my heart already
If you only knew how much I wanted you
Maybe then you wouldn’t be playing games and pushing me away

Sometimes I wonder why you can’t see the light
Then I ask myself why you don’t want me
As my soul overloads on who I thought you were, I die a little more inside

 

I want you deeply, but I must understand you don’t know what you’re missing
Too many people in your ear telling you otherwise
If you only just paid attention to my silent words
Maybe then you would understand what you’re about to lose

So many songs already written, I could make you a mix tape
But I still don’t think you’d quite get it
You’re beautiful with me if you let yourself be

GIVE UP OR GIVE IN?

GIVE UP OR GIVE IN?

Nothing I do is ever enough
Everything I am is never enough
Should I give up or give in?

I’m scared of my own shadow anymore
Heartbreak at every corner
I start to panic at the sound of your voice
What’s the next bomb you’ll drop on me?

Is there a reason for me being here?
Am I just the world’s punching bag?
You can push me to the brink
You can tear me into more pieces than we can count
But I cannot be broken

Nothing I am is ever enough
Everything I do is never enough
Should I break down or take you down?

I’m afraid of the real reason I’m here
Speculation is so much safer
I begin to second guess with the introduction of your heart
Where’s the next trap door to fall in?

FIND MY BLISS

FIND MY BLISS

Miles and miles of mistakes litter the roads behind me
Life is a constant learning process
Testing and trying our patience at every turn

Is this another mistake that I end up repeating or will redemption finally be mine?
I know what I want, but I can never find it
Happiness constantly eludes my cold hands

Have I always gone down the wrong road or is there a method to the madness?
Is there no thyme or reason to the chaos I’ve endured or does it pay off tomorrow?
The way things have gone, I’ll be dead before I find out

I’ll find my bliss if it’s the last thing I do
At the rate I’m going, it will be

TOMORROW

TOMORROW

Everyone has their own agenda
They all just pretend to care
Is there anyone out there?
Is there anyone out there that cares?
I’m begging and pleading

Time is standing still and my heart is frozen
I’m stuck back when I thought we were happy
We should be moving forward
Instead you’re living in the past

Will tomorrow bring Miss Right?
Yesterday never lies
We both said we care
So what the hell are we doing apart?

This world makes me sick
Everyone lies, cheats and steals
Are there any saviors left?
Are there any saviors left that can?

I’m sinking and drowning

The clock on the wall strikes the hour once more
I’m stuck back when it said we still had time
We should be hiking the mountain of life together
Instead we’re apart and acting like we’re not

Will tomorrow bring Miss Right?
Yesterday never lies
We both said we care
So what the hell are we doing apart?

Will tomorrow bring Miss Right?
In my tomorrow, she’s still you

PERFECTION

PERFECTION

The most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen
Had to take a step back when I first saw you
So incredible there are no words to describe

I’d stare at you all day long
You put me in a trance and I don’t want out
They say beauty is only skin deep
You’ve proven them wrong

Staring into your hypnotic eyes makes me forget all my troubles
Your smile lights up my world
And when you turn around, there’s a bonus round

I thought I took it all in
But each time I see you, I find something else I adore
The poster child for perfection
Have to remember to breathe each time I’m with you

THE ONE

THE ONE

I stand here alone, a broken chap
With tears running down my face, I use the rain to hide the flood
Look me in the eye and tell me how you feel
I’m intoxicated by our past and too distraught to see the light

You take your afflictions out on me
I don’t understand why you associate one with the other
I throw my hands to the sky and ask why
Someone please show me the way

I’ve gone on a wild goose chase looking for your cure
Conquered demons of my own and fears of yours
Do you feel me in your heart?
Can you take a breath and not pretend?

I stand here feeling naked
I look to my right and you’re not there
With tears soaking my skin, I collapse with my head in my hands
Every day I live through this, I lose hope
You have no idea how badly I want you to be the one
