small life

I’ve been dreaming of the city
I know that’s where I’m meant to be
This small town life
It’s not the life for me

Here the sidewalks are always empty
The streets they’re always bare
Most the time I walk alone
And most the time…I don’t care

But these nights they are lonely
And these days
They just won’t end
I’ve got to keep moving on
It’s time I let my life begin

I’ve been praying lately
To God, I just don’t know
I want all my questions answered
I want all these doubts to go

I want to know that He hears me
I want to know He hears me cry
I want to know God, do you hear me
Do you hear me every time

And there are times I think you’ve answered
Times you’ve heard just what I said
Times you’ve tried and tried to help me
Times I should have followed where you led

I’ve begged and I’ve cheated
I’ve bargained and lied
I’ve made my own mistakes
And for those I should have died

For now I’ll close my eyes
Let these worries slip away
Allow my mind to rest
And if by chance I fall away

I pray tomorrow brings a day
One where I’m not so alone
Where hope is there to greet me
And for once I’ll feel at home

I’ve been dreaming of the city
I know that’s where I’m meant to be
This small town life
It’s not the life for me

alright

Those deep green eyes
They hold no lies
And at times seem blue
They hold my gaze
I’m so amazed
Of the wonders that you do 
 Give your hand to me
Just to make me see
That you will never leave me alone
But there would come a time
Where you’d let me shine
You’d give me a chance to roam 
But you will never let me fall
Never let me fail
No you will never let me fall
Never let me fail Tell me it’s all ok
Bring back my sunny day
Hold me when I’m scared at night
Put my mind at rest
 Hold me to your chest
Tell me everything’s alright Sing a sweet, sweet song, all day long
The words are wrong, but I don’t mind
Give you all my love
Hold you high above
To me you will always shine But you will never let me fall
Never let me fail
No you will never let me fall
Never let me fail Tell me it’s all ok
Bring back my sunny day
Hold me when I’m scared at night
Put my mind at rest
Hold me to your chest
Tell me everything’s alright
Alright…without you my worlds not right

while you sleep

Up all night, my mind won’t rest, there are things I need to say and do. I rollover, pull up the sheet, I turn and face you. You sleep so peacefully, what do you dream? Slumber visions of tomorrow, forever, today, do you ever dream about me? Am I only important when we’re in the same place, do you think of me throughout the day? Pull me in closer, breathe me in deep, tell me everything is ok. Tell me you love me, keep me forever, tell me you’ll always wait. Please reassure me things will always be this way…but, I’ll understand if you don’t. “I’m not ready to settle down, there are things I want to do”, these are the words I whisper to you, while you sleep. “I want a forever, but I don’t want it right now, and I know that you do.” We breathe the same rhythm, I crawl in your arms, and suddenly, you feel me there. You pull me in closer, softly kiss my cheek, you feel a trace of a tear. You open your eyes and look into mine, softly whisper, “Baby, what’s wrong?” I’ll wait till tomorrow to tell you my fears; I want you to hold me close a bit longer. So for tonight, “Nothing’s wrong, I was just watching you sleep.”

love me forever

September 23, 2006

I’m not sure what you were afraid of
Or when we fell out of love
I’m not sure when you stopped being happy
When I stopped being enough
We planned our future
A life together
We shared a home
We planned trips and making babies
But I never planned; you’d leave me all alone
You said you’d love me forever
Hold me tight and never, let me go
You said you’d love me forever
But you turned and let me go
Together we were amazing
Without you I sit and cry
When did you stop loving me?
How were you able to say goodbye?
I fall asleep in our bed without you
I expect you to be here
I feel your arms wrapped around me
I still smell you in the air
You said you’d love me, forever
Hold me tight and never, let me go
You said you’d love me, forever
But you turned and let me go
Do you tell her you’ll love her, forever
That you’ll never let her go?
Do you promise her, forever
Do you tell her you’ll never turn and go?
Because…
You said you’d love me forever
But I’m here without you, all alone
