All The Love That's Come Undone

It's the same old thing
that's been around centuries through
all the love that's come undone
betrayal from the one who steals

And it's not the final cost
when you think it's finally all in the past
they always seem to sneak some payment in
thinking you still owe them something for their deceit

So why has it come down to this
treated lower than a human being ever should
I can't go on, my fingers bleeding to the bone
how much farther do I have to fall
before you will just leave me alone

I just can't keep up this charade anymore
what you wanted you took when you left out the door
keeping tabs on my new love so you know the score
appearing from nowhere when I'm down
my wounds you know are too deep to withstand

And it's not the final cost
when you think it's finally all in the past
they always seem to sneak some payment in
thinking you still owe them something for their deceit

They come looking for you
because they don't have anything better to do
their own lives are in dismay as they cover up hate
trying to transfer their guilt and remorse
to their prey they're currently fixated upon

And it's the same old thing
that's been around centuries through
all the love that's come undone
betrayal from the one who steals

So why has it come down to this
treated lower than a human being ever should
I can't go on, my fingers bleeding to the bone
how much farther do I have to fall
before you will just...just leave me alone

Running From Your Love

Once I had a love
the one that would of been so good for me
then it was taken away in a flash just like a dream
it's so dark on the road of hope
looking through the darkness trying not to fall
tripping on little hearts that want to believe

Traveling from day to day in the rain
my heart bogged down from the strain
I can't give up, I got keep up the hope
that one day I'll finally find my place
and I'll find my home

Her heart was wider than the oceans
and her light shined down on everything
there was nothing that could compare
you can't help the feeling that surrounds you
it's so warm in her loving arms

If this could only last forever
two as one like the river or the sun
surveying everything with love
feeding the gift of life with our bodies
standing still flowing with time and our souls

But we know it all comes to an end sometime soon
that nothing ever seems to last a life time for you and me
and destiny has a heart string just wasting away
this old life wasn't meant to be used this way

All these ups and downs
the heart just wants to break free
it wants to run away and mend again
hide in darkness until it's ready
to be broken all over
when it's ready to begin again

Will it be you waiting for me
will you be the one again
can you still love and hold me
even after what I've done
running from your love

She'll Never Know

Yellow hair that flows in the air
the sunshine splits its golden form
into a million billion shiny little suns
but there's no warmth under there

Only the dark that lives in the roots
and it wants to take away my heart
stow it away never let it see the light of day
keep it in a cell and throw away the key

If I want to live, I'll have to run away
flee a million billion miles one way
I'll follow the shooting stars
you know.. you know
they'll show me the way

Maybe one day I'll come on back
to this lonely old home town of mine
it's just too early to tell if I'm finally free
been running so long trying to get away

Well I met her on a Tuesday
left her on a Monday afternoon
didn't want to hurt her anymore than I had too
I stayed way too long as it was

Just no future there in her arms
I'm too damaged I said can't you see
the hands of destiny pull my strings
no one's meant for my kind of love

She tried to hold on as best as she could
her voice tearing at my soul with her calls
my name the last thing I heard on her lips
this heartache widens with every little step

The knife of my past buried in deep
I can still see her face filled with tears
how could she know that she wasn't the one
that she's not at fault for what had to be

Now she only knows how to hate
and I've finally come to realize
the past is the future she holds close
she'll never know her daddy's love

It's Too Damn Deep

Baby baby why do we always end up here
laughing and crying at the same time
we..know all the pain and sorrow
we cause each other

Baby baby you should know by now
this wasn't the future I had planed
nor what I seen for us tomorrow
I always thought we'd live a dream

Now Honey don't you get me wrong
I've always been the one to be strong
never have I strayed or done you wrong
but I can't say the same for you

I'm not sure where our paths split up
when did we stopped holding hands
sleeping in our separate corners of our bed
crying just to get some sleep instead

This relationship absent of love
just going through the motions day by day
we used to have so much fun
now look at us we can't even seen ourselves

Baby baby why do you run away
you used to tell me you couldn't wait
just see my face at the end of the day
now this house is such an empty space

Baby baby who's that on the phone
that other guy that puts a smile in my place
Honey why can't you be more discreet
I don't need to know how this is going down

My heart can't stop this heartbreak from tearing me apart
my insides are collapsing i'm going to a dark dark place
if this was love then i only want to know my hate
what did i do to deserve this..is this my finale fate

Destined to be less than half a man
for what I lost I can never...never...never get back
Once I had a dream...a future bright as the moon and the stars
my head...lifted above the clouds, she gave me all of this

She was the one...the only one
she brought me from the darkness and into the light
she told me things that made it all better than before
now it's all gone...now it's all gone, what will I do

What will I do..now that you're gone
the darkness is calling my name

This heart of mine can't take this anymore
Baby baby it's so cold in here
there's just too much room
when will I ever find love again

Baby baby it's too damn deep
the valley in my heart will never heal

Ohhhhh...when I use to look into your eyes
nothing could ever hold me back

I Am Good Inside

Shes poised for the pain
that she knows is coming for her
in the dark of the night

It stays for a while and leaves her crying
leaving behind the memory that it will keep on calling
this life as she only knows it
such a shame the downward spiraling

So when the morning draws the light
finally she can get some long awaited sleep
but someone keeps knocking on the door

Sister Mary you cant keep hiding behind these walls
there's more to life than waiting for the night to call
cover your ears when the voices start to scream
get some sleep and dream a sweet dream of love

Well you know that life can be unfair
no one seems to care when they have fallen themselves
everyone reaching out in despair trying to grab what they can
even if it means they're gonna hurt you inside

Now she knows the pain of heartache
how it can break the walls and reach your soul
how it can bring you down to your knees
how it can make you question what to believe

Why me... why am I the only one
why do I suffer this agony... oh God
have you forsaken me... what did I do to deserve this
I know that I am good inside and I try so hard
is that my payment for being on this earth

Hush now the dawn is gone and the wind breaks free
I can feel the dusk coming the night will surely fall again
the voices will be running through my head
maybe I can hold on for just one more day
if I don't listen to them

One more...just one more day

Maybe tomorrow will set me free
from the darkness into the light
it's my soul...it's mine to keep
the voices gone...gone so I can sleep

Maybe I can hold on for just one more day
if I don't listen to them

One more...just one more day
one more...just one more day
one more...just one more day

What Makes Them Run

What is this that we pray upon
silly little notion coveted by emotion
stray from the path then call out for help
doubt falls in and spreads about
the night comes alive with inner thought
the howls of the past loom in the dark
crouched toes gripped ready for pounce
straight for the fear it will grab it by the throat
shaken and cold running from ghosts
constantly driven away even from love
then a whisper sworn from somewhere afar
voices play tricks when the grey ever looms
bone cold the shivers climb one's spine
numbing the brain in order to blind
favoring the blackness from the light
as if forgiveness wasn't an answer to fight
nay no question was considered or even formed
just the fear that makes them all run !
