Honestly

Honestly

What is love, is it a good thing ?
could it be something for everyone
what is love, is it an evil thing ?
is it meant to be the one thing
to bring us all to our knees.

It's been so long since i held you
i can't remember what it feels like
to have you in my arms and feel your warmth
there's this feeling of loss when you're not around
too many years have come and gone
and throughout all them I've been on my own

Sometimes i try dream i can slip back in time
and try to see if i can mend all of the wrongs
but each time i try it just gets twisted and churned
and i find i wake up still all tattered and torn
what can i do , what can i say

What is love, is it a good thing ?
could it be something for everyone
what is love, is it an evil thing ?
is it meant to be the one thing
to bring us all to our knees.

You always cry when have something to say
affairs of the heart always makes you this way
you scream out loud when you think i can't hear
and when i try to be honest you just turn away

How can we be one when you don't want to try
there's must be a reason that you don't want to say
i can feel our love and it's slipping away
what happened to the promises of yesterday

What is love, is it a good thing ?
could it be something for everyone
what is love, is it an evil thing ?
is it meant to be the one thing
to bring us all to our knees.

Damned if i do, damned if i don't
played for the fool again, right from the start
stabbed in the heart again, deep in the chest
i'm tired of playing Cupid's cruel game
and always failing the test

I Want to See Again

What are you saying
choose your words carefully
one of us is lying
and i know it's not me
who are you fooling
with your plans of deceit
you're leaving me crying
deep inside i'm silently bleeding
my heart's been cut in two
the knife still sunk in deep
all of this madness
is just beyond belief
why do you even bother
when you've always planned to leave
i given you everything
the sky the moon the sea
and you quickly grabbed what you could
even the best part of me
sits alone in the darkness
i can't believe that i'm free
but it doesn't seem that way to me
all i ever wanted was to be loved
but you even wanted to steal that from me
now how am i to carry on
it's a heavy burden hovering over me
too many tears flowing from my eyes
it's much too hard to see
is there any future filled with some sort of hope
how long will it take to get over you
tell me...tell me
when will you release me
why am i the one
who has to pay this debt
what kind of dues have i been owing
no one ever told me
no one ever said a thing
about how you were doing me wrong
there's talk on the town
everyone's been pointing their finger at me
why didn't i see some sort of sign
i should of known better than to trust you
you always had that far away look in your eyes
you always avoided the questions
covered it up with your lies
i was a fool to believe them
all i ever wanted
all i ever needed
out of anything from this world
is to be loved
ya loved
love, love, love, love
was it too much to ask for
love, love, love, love
ya i need love
why was that so hard for you
you just had to show you cared
all i ever wanted
all i ever needed
out of everything this world has to offer
is to be loved
is to be loved
ya loved
love, love, love, love
love, love, love, love
why is it so dark in here
someone please turn on the light
i want to see
i want to see
i want to see again
i want to see again
i want to see again
ya that's all i ever wanted
i want to see
i want to see
i want to see again
i want to open my eyes
i want to see again
i want to feel someone in my arms
i want to see again
i want to kiss them goodnight
i want to see again
i want to tell them i love them
i want to see again
i want to see again
you know
i want to see again
ya that's all i ever wanted
i want to see again
i want to see again

You're in Way Too Deep

Think you could love me
tell me soft wonderful lies
hold me until you let go
never say the words goodbye
when you walk away
leave me when i'm not home
it's just a dark place that's cold
there's no more sun
to shine on my face
tell them that i'm the one
that i was too blind to see
laugh until i enter the room
secret messages left on the phone
play me because you think i'm numb
your eyes they give you away
you can't bear to look at me
your heart heavy full of deceit
yelling and carrying on
trying to deflect the questions
what you know i already know
but you're, you know
you're way too far in
ya you're in way too deep
leaving me a letter explaining it all
feeling you owe me something
anything but respect and love
but that's the way you planed it all
the way you want to leave
everything all up in the air
my heart left in despair
wondering why
wondering what i did
was it something that i said
or was it all in my head
the devil made you do it
that's why you're insane
you got have a screw that's loose
cuz that's how it's gotta be explained
otherwise i'm the one to blame

Forgotten Love

Wondering where you are
it's cold outside
and i don't want to be alone

Something's gotta give
there's just
too much pressure from the norm

And you know it's wrong
to wake up
with no one else to hold

These tears staining everything
cuz nothing's safe
not even the memories

Of forgotten love
of forgotten love
we forgot our love
we forgot how to love

Of forgotten love
of forgotten love
we forgot our love
we forgot how to love

The warmth of togetherness
holding hands until the morning comes
not caring that our hair is a mess

Finishing each others thoughts
those smirks we get when we're apart
thinking about the night before

But now i can barely remember anything
all that remains is how we fuss and fight
it's so hard to try and bring back the bliss

Of forgotten love
of forgotten love
we forgot our love
we forgot how to love

Of forgotten love
of forgotten love
we forgot our love
we forgot how to love

These tears staining everything
cuz nothing's safe
not even the memories

And you know it's wrong
to wake up
with no one else to hold

Of forgotten love
of forgotten love
we forgot our love
we forgot how to love

Of forgotten love
of forgotten love
we forgot our love
we forgot how to love

Forgotten love
forgotten love
forgotten love

We forgot how to love
Honey
we forgot how to love

Who I Am

A simple task,
if only i could maintain the simple task.
For some reason i find myself
picking through the clovers beside the path.
I'm on a personal field trip
that only i can drive myself back from.
There's a certain peace there
filled with magic and splendor, it's addictive at times.
Why do want to go there ?
What makes me want to run away ?
What draws me to it or any other of it's kind ?
What makes me want to stay when i get there ?
What brings me back when i leave ?
How many times will i venture ?
How much time is really running out ?
All of these are good questions
but only one screams above the crowd.
Each calling for me to believe them
but i'm still clouded with the doubt.
If only i could shake them, learn how to love again.
But will anyone still take me
i'm the shadow of my former man.
I don't have anything to show them
I can barely show myself.
I know it's not my fault, just a victim of circumstance.
So when will it be my turn, to know love again ?
Am i relic of my past ? Am i just a faded thing ?
Am i already something to throw away ?
Or am i just too blind to see ?
That no one wants me, that no one cares for me.
And the nights keep getting colder
there's a shiver that keeps moving through my bones.
I can't shake what they all think of me.
I can't move the cloud before their eyes
So i can break free.
At least i can talk to myself
i listen to every word.
I can be polite, i can open my own door
I can show myself some grace
I can pretend the whole world likes me
for who i am.

Never Again

You know
this isn't how i wanted it
this isn't
the way i imagined it would end
us letting it go
us letting the dream just float away
doesn't it bother you
doesn't it
just make you want to cry

The soft tender nights
now they don't mean a thing
and the way we kissed in the fire light
while we drank all the champagne
until there wasn't a single drop
well it's all just a simple memory

You know
this isn't how i wanted it
this isn't
the way i imagined it would end
us letting it go
us letting the dream just float away
doesn't it bother you
doesn't it
just make you want to cry

These days i wake up feeling cold
even though it's a hundred and three
and the sweat that pouring off me
it's because we just made love
baby it's all coming down at once
there's never gonna be a you and me

You know
this isn't how i wanted it
this isn't
the way i imagined it would end
us letting it go
us letting the dream just float away
doesn't it bother you
doesn't it
just make you want to cry

Make you cry
make you cry
cuz
there's never gonna be
a you and me
you and me
there's never gonna be
a you and me
