What You're Doing To Me

Are we too far gone
For apologies
I thought we had love
Don't you see
Like two peas in a pod
So close together
Loving each other
Naturally
Weren't we good
Together
One on one
We stood firm against all odds
What happened to us baby?
Where did we go so wrong?
Lost our love
What made it go away?
We're so sad
Don't you see
I need you back
Right here by my side
Where you belong
Can't you see
We fit so naturally
Side by side
like A hole in one
When I’m with you
I have so much fun
I can't contain my happiness
So what went wrong?
So what went wrong?
My life is filled with loneliness
I can't go on
No I can't go on
What went wrong?
Why can't you see?
What your love is doing
What your love is doing
To me
Oh... oh... oh
Just can't take this pain
It's driving me insane
Oh ...oh... oh
Look at what you're doing
Look at what you're doing
What you're doing to me baby
So sad and lost you see
Waiting for your love to return to me
The stars won't even shine
And all the sky can do is cry
I live in the darkness
Waiting for your light
To free me from this feeling
My heart aches for you my love
And ya it's only been a few days
But it seems like it's been an eternity already baby
Since you said those cruel words to me
The ones that broke my heart
And pushed me so far away
The world seems so gray to me
My lady
So cold without your love
To keep me warm and bundled up
Are we too far gone
For apologies
I thought we had a special love
One that could stand the tests of time
No one could split us apart
And yet you're with another man
Look at what your love does to me baby
Weren't we good to each other baby?
Together one on one
Thought we would stand firm against all odds
What happened to us darling?
Where did we go oh so wrong?
Is there even a chance for us baby doll?
To try one more time
Isn't it worth it to you honey?
Please don't throw it all away
Just hang on for one more day
Let me show you I can change
In any way you want from now on
Let me your one and only
I can't go on this way
I need your love my darling
I need it in every way
I can't go on without you honey
Each and every day with all this pain
Every minute is an eternity
It's driving me insane
I need your love my darling
I need it in every way
I can't go on without you honey
I don't care who's to blame
Just come on home to me darling
I'll take you in any way
Oh ...oh ...I need your love my darling
I'm starving for your affection
I'll die and wither way
If you don't turn around and stay
I'll be whatever you want
Just don't turn your love away
Oh... oh... oh
Look at what you're doing to me darling
Look at what you're doing to me honey
What you're doing to me baby
So sad and lost you see
Waiting for your love to return to me
Please don't throw it all away
Don't turn your love away
I can't go on without you honey
I don't care who was to blame
Just come on home to me darling
I'll take you in any way
I'll love you for eternity
Just come back home to me baby
Please accept my apology

Could His Crying Be the Rain?

There's no God overlooking us

There's no God watching out for us

There's no God believing us

There's no God deceiving us

Ya...ya...there's no one there

Ya...ya...if he’s there is he doesn't seem to care

Ya...Ya...

Cuz if there was a higher purpose

He's not right here to show us

What is right and what to follow

What is wrong that makes us hollow

The helpless that sing of sorrow

There's no help for us tomorrow

Ya...ya...there can be no God

Why would let he let us wallow

In our mass death and destruction

Just letting us find our own way

Instead of holding out his hand

Why doesn't he love us?

You know I would gladly guide you

Show you the way from the darkest night

But why hasn't he lifted a single hand

Why doesn't he let us know we're not alone?

Ya...ya...ya if he walks amongst us how will we know

He must be invisible to our naked eye

He doesn't want you to see him cry

So ashamed you see

At what we have become

This was not the master plan he had

It was so simple when it all began

Ya...ya...just two of each

So they won’t get lonely like he is

Ya...ya...he gave his only son

And they killed him for their sins

What kind of beast did he let loose

Death and destruction by their own hands

They're killing everything and everyone

There's almost nothing left

All the beauty gone to waist

All the potential he had hoped for the human race

It's all going downhill and there is no way to brake

Ya...ya...just send them straight to hell

Maybe then they will believe

Ya...ya...maybe it's just too late for them

Maybe it's time for me to sleep for another millennium

There's no God overlooking us

There's no God watching out for us

There's no God believing us

There's no God deceiving us

Ya...ya...there's no one way up there

Ya...ya...if there is he doesn’t seem to care

What we go through each and every day

All the sorrow and all the pain

But if he's really way up there

Could his crying be the rain?

Could his crying be the rain?

Could his crying be the rain?

Ya...ya...could his crying be the rain

Don't you see?

Could his crying be the rain?

Could his crying be the rain?

Could his crying be the rain?

Adolescent Hate

I don't think that I can understand it
this attitude that you keep having
no I'm not the kind that usually complains
but the way you act sometimes drive us all insane
we're filled up to the brim until we're overflowing
your mental disposition is really quite atrocious
you act as if the entire world simply owes you
some sort of retribution for the day you were born to us
you can't comprehend it's you that we should sue
when you carry on the way you do
yes there are times when you can be a dear
but it doesn't make up for the times of anger
when it's you who always blows your top striking fear
now we all have tried to to you one on one
but you hate us when we interrupt your fun
you say you can't stop because there is no pause
you ignore all requests from your family and friends
to hell with unruly responsibilities or chores
because you say there is no written clause
if only we could regulate what is that makes you hate
this world would the benefactor from the score
perhaps it is all our fault for the way we propagate
this land of luxury that guards the way you instigate
you have no heart for the things that you take
expecting us to automatically replace
we were the fools for letting society make the rules
that keeps from beating your behind
with the tools on hand that would of made you mind
so now we live with a fiend that is irreversibly cruel
who are you who thinks they rule the roost
what got in your silly mind to be so unkind
at what age did you lose your cool
who told you this was the way to act to get your way
I know now i was the fool for wanting you to have a better life
than the one i had to live or your grandparents before they died
but you don't care or understand your best friend is a video game
today you become eighteen I'm so worried how you will survive
somehow you make me feel I'm the one that let you down
so wrapped up in your self-conceit looking at us like we're lame
you don't even know or care when we cry for you..it's true
in the end you force our hand in order to make a stand
to try and make you realize the facts and actions from your lies
you can't run from reality when it's starring you in the face
it hurts me to throw you in but it's now the way to learn your lesson
tough love is the last reprieve that your going to see
we have to turn our backs in order to get you to believe
I hope that one day when you grow up
you'll understand your actions and demands until today
were and are the consequences that you reaped

Not the Way I Thought it Would End

This isn't the the way i thought it would end
with me loving you when it all began
now you're on your way
you want to leave
saying you can't stand it anymore
but honey tell me just one thing
before you leave me out that door
was it really so bad ?
you needed someone to hold
i needed someone the nights are cold
the stars always shine so bright for us
always looking down on us from above
they must of thought we shared a perfect love
you know i don't want you to go
i always thought our love would grow
like the sun that follows the moon
destined to feel the after glow
that's how you always make me feel
somehow it just flows naturally
so where did i go wrong
my friends know I've tried to be strong
but you won't let me in
honey it's you that shut the door
you don't want my love anymore
you don't want my love anymore
you don't want my love anymore
this isn't the the way i thought it would end
with me loving you when it all began
now you're on your way
you want to leave
saying you can't stand it anymore
but honey tell me just one thing
before you leave me out that door
was it really so bad ?
so where did i go wrong
I've tried to be so strong
but you won't let me in
honey it's you that shut the door
you don't want my love anymore
you don't want my love anymore
you don't want my love anymore

The Master Plan

Well she didn't trust me

And I don't blame her

After all I couldn't be there

But she doesn't understand

I tried to be a good father

Tried to protect her from harm

But fate wouldn't intervene

And she was lost to me

For so long

Then one day

After too many years

She contacted me

Too many sleepless nights

Wondering how she was

Abandoned by her mom

Wondering why no one loved her

Not knowing she was kept from me

All the horror stories were not true

It’s a real shame what some people do

Out of hate and despite too

They don't care if they hurt you

It’s just not right to do it to the children

Oh daddy why did you leave me all alone

All these years for so long

Why didn't you want to talk to me?

What did I do that was so wrong?

Oh my darling my princess dear

I had no control over the years

Couldn't find you although I tried

I tried one day when you were younger

But you were so full of hate

So for 13 lonely years I’ve waited

Worried about you every day and night

Talked to many public officials about my fight

But no one seems to care about the non-custodial plight

Between greed and your mothers deceit

There's not much hope one can have or hold onto

Except inside while I hold back my tears

They just don't understand

There's only so much one can take

Before you break down with heartache

I know it’s been so hard for you my little one

I wish I could have been there for you

All these years

To hold your little hand

And kiss you good night

It was my master plan

But fate wouldn't intervene

And you were lost to me

Your mom would never do the right thing

She tried he best to make you forget

About your poor old dad

Everything I gave you she got rid of

She didn't want you to have anything to reminisce

Whatever she said it was all untrue

I'm not the monster she made me out to be

All I ever wanted was to love you and I do

Always and forever you are in my heart

You always were right from the start

No matter what they told you

So don't believe them now

When they say something construed

They don't want you to know the truth

They have had to cover up too many lies

That's why they would rather abandon you

If I would of only known

I would of come running to your side

I would of been there for you

But I know you don't trust me

And I don't blame you

After all I couldn't be there for you

And I know you don't understand

I tried to be a good father

Tried to protect you from harm

But fate just wouldn't intervene

And you were lost to me

But now we are found

Life has given us one more try

To get it right

For you to understand

Oh my darling my princess dear

I'm not the monster they made me out to be

Hopefully one day

Maybe love will replace the tears

These Old Crossroads

Well I went on back home after so long

It was the place with so many crossroads

So somewhere around town I was reminiscing

Somehow I met up with an old school friend

One thing led to another you know how it goes

Now I don’t know why so many women confide in me  

Why they feel they have to share their entire lives woes

It’s just been one of things throughout my life

Nothing ever happens it just always gets close

I know that I wasn’t your favorite friend back then

But I’m the one and you’re here with me now

Honey it’s not that I don’t want to get close

But I know these crossroads because I’ve been there

And you’re right here wondering which way to go

It’s a hard and lonely condition and it’s so cold

You have the Feeling that you’re all alone

And the fact that you’re here with me now

Just proves how low you’re willing to let yourself go

I know what you want you just need a friend

And I don’t mind I’ve always seemed to be the one

The girls confide in over the years maybe that’s because

They feel I’m safe and that I’ll be leaving soon

But I know these crossroads around here

And you’re right there wondering which way to go

It’s a hard and lonely condition and it’s so cold

You have the Feeling that you’re all alone

The fact that you’re here with me now

Just proves how low you’re willing to let yourself go

I know what you want you just need a friend

Now as it turns out I knew her old man

And he remembered me when he caught up to us

He wanted to fight so I told him straight up

Look man, nothing happened, not that it couldn’t of

The fact that you’re here with me now

Just proves how low you’re willing to let yourself go

I know what you want you just need a friend

And I don’t mind I’ve always been the one

The guys confided in maybe that’s because

They feel I’m safe that I’ll understand

Life is really strange when I’m the helping hand

But I know these crossroads around here

And you’re right there wondering which way to go

It’s a hard and lonely condition and it’s so cold

You have the Feeling that you’re all alone

That you don’t have any friends

Well I’m here to tell you people

It’s lonely out there on those crossroads

Living day to day with no one to love

The nights get colder as I get older

And sometimes I think I’ll never find my way

Find a place to stay and call my home

We just need someone to love and hold

It’s lonely out there on those crossroads

Life is really strange when I’m the helping hand

But I know these crossroads because I’ve been there

And you’re right here wondering which way to go

It’s a hard and lonely condition and it’s so cold

You have the Feeling that you’re all alone

And the fact that you’re here with me now

Just proves how low you’re willing to let yourself go

I know what you want you just need a friend

I don’t mind I’ve always seemed to be the one

Yes I know, I know, these old crossroads

Been Beaten Down

They say I'm the perfect example of discreet
always staying calm in face of my defeat
they tell me to stand tall and be strong
but they don't have a single clue
they don't know what's really wrong

Oh I've been beaten down before
it's the story of my entire life
I've learned to take the good with the bad
each in turn for sure...tic for tack
and I thought I've found love behind every door
but it's the darkness that follows
that evens the score

When do you stop the torment
when do you break down and cry
when do we come to terms
and when will we die
when too many misfortunes fall on us
why do we try

The days keep getting shorter
the nights get even longer
the cold gets even colder
the longer you stay away
I can't keep going on
with the games that you play

I've reached into my pockets for the very last time
there's no more riches in this poor heart and soul
nothing to bind us from losing our stores
yet there's still something that keeps me hanging on
the longing and hope that comes with despair

Oh I've been beaten down before
it's the story of my entire life
I've learned to take the good with the bad
each in turn for sure tic for tack
and I thought I've found love behind every door
but it's the darkness that follows
that evens the score

Shame shame, shame shame
shame shame, on you
you took me for a ride
and now the shame is on you
too many times I've been the fool
now the shame is on you

When do you stop the torment
when do you break down and cry
when do we come to terms
and when will we die
when too many misfortunes fall on us
so why do we try

Truth Be Told

Today I'll have to admit my situation
she didn't bother to come home all night long
I tried to ignore all the signs
no I didn't want to listen
something deep down inside me
told me something's wrong

Oh my, oh why
did this have to happen
I was a fool to be so forgiving
didn't I treat you good
my Darling

Oh my , oh why
I refused to give in
I didn't want to believe
you've been sinning
didn't want to face the truth
or just didn't want to start all over
what went wrong
Darling

Oh I
never strayed from our love
I keep going on
and on believing
that nothing's wrong
you know I know
when you're out on the town

People call me Darling
when they see you
practicing your deceiving
you must think I'm a fool
Baby
because I act so cool about it
but if the truth be told

Oh my, oh why
did this have to happen
I was a fool to be so forgiving
didn't I treat you good

Oh my , oh why
I refused to give in
I didn't want to believe
you've been sinning
didn't want to face the truth
or just didn't want to start all over
what went wrong

Away

One day some day you'll know when
that will be the day you'll see then
storming tantrums flaring tempers raging
this time you'll be the one giving in
those loving sisters laughing at you
because your face is screaming red
all you ever wanted was to do your own thing
but now you're too old to get your own way
its time you grow up and face your worst fears
the daily grind, the hands of time
a paycheck in two weeks
no more staying up too late
please just make it all go away
away..away...away...away
the morning clock seems so loud
its too far for you to reach
you get up out of bed still groggy from online games
the anger overcomes you before you know its there
your sisters in the bathroom she wont come out
she says she just needs some more time to comb her hair
you know she is just doing what you use to do to her
now you're mad because you don't think she care
could this be karma coming after you like your poor dad said
you didn't care back then you wouldn't let him in your head
now its all coming down those words upon your brain
please just make it all go away
away..away...away...away
on the way to work you pass some friends
hanging out at your favorite place
they all want you to go with them to have some fun
storming tantrums flaring tempers raging
this time you'll be the one giving in
those so called friends laugh at you
they just don't seem to understand
all you ever wanted was to do your own thing
but now you're too old to get your own way
its time you grow up and face your worst fears
the daily grind, the hands of time
a paycheck in two weeks
no more staying up too late
please just make it all go away
away..away...away...away
go away...go away...go away
away...away...away
away...away
away
