Sometimes when I can't sleep at night
I reread your letters to me to feel at ease
And every time you and I have a fight
I know that every low moment just leads
To more highs of embracing you completely in love
Embracing you in my heart
And more than anything in heaven above
I just want to be a part
Of the reasons you laugh and smile,
The reasons you tremble with joy and glee,
And despite the distance, despite every mile
I know that you and I will always just be
Fine in knowing that love is infinite, love is eternal
Your voice is the calm wind on a sea
Your smile is the fire raging in a furnace
Your laughter is the old friend I love to greet
Your soul is the infinite love beneath your surface
I know I can be a bit much on some days
I know I can be less than the perfect man
But I will try now and will try always
Because the only thing I want is to hold your hand

What is life? What is love?
Do I have faith in God above?
What is religion, what is faith
If not tools to make good men hate
Is there salvation
Or only damnation
You live your life in very simple ways
Trying to get through our very simple days
We try to understand the things we cannot
But it seems love has been forgot
So many riots and so many screams
This world is an evil one it seems
Turn on your tv and go to news
Funny name for a station that shows nothing new
I don't pretend to know or understand why
Men take it upon themselves to decide others should die
What is this world I live in                
So much disgust covered in sin
We claim to love as we hate
We claim to understand only to degrade
Yeah I see the stares
Yeah I know its not fair
I don't know when it started
Perhaps I once did but I forgot it
Yeah they I've fallen
But I've just started
The old me.up and died
I swallowed my faith and my pride
No I don't know when
I never knew such a sweet sin
I've seen life and witnessed death
I've held my brother in his final breath
Now they say I've fallen
But I've just started
The old me up and died
Forgot my beliefs and swallowed pride
No I'm not fallen
I've just forgotten
How to act or what to say
I don't know when I became this way
Oh when did it begin
When did I start to love this sin
Turned my back on my God
But it was me He forgot
Tg ey say I've fallen
But I've just started
To realize
All the lies
I prayed it wasn't true
But the greatest lie was you

Words escape my mind
As our talks take the night
Is it laughter or your voice I crave?
Because after everything you gave
How can I still demand some more?
But the richest man without you is poor
And I know not every conversation is rainbows
I just think that after this we both know
That is Is more than a mistake
And maybe more of fate
Rain will hit my window
And wash away pain, although
Maybe its good I survived that hole
Maybe its good I found love can grow
And maybe this wolf finally found his moon
And baby tell me if this is all to soon
But Words escape my mind
As our talks take the night
Is it laughter or your voice I crave?
Because after everything you gave
How can I still demand some more?
But the richest man without you is poor
And I know not every conversation is rainbows
I just think that after this we both know
That is Is more than a mistake
And maybe more of fate
This is the easiest song I have ever wrote
Because though the words are mine to be spoke
Fate wrote our names down long ago
And despite every mile we know
That we waited our lives for the moments of peace at night
So if you don’t mind, I’ll call to speak until the waning night
Because Words escape my mind
As our talks take the night
Is it laughter or your voice I crave?
Because after everything you gave
How can I still demand some more?
But the richest man without you is poor
And I know not every conversation is rainbows
I just think that after this we both know
That is Is more than a mistake
And maybe more of fate
No words have ever been easier for me to voice
And I know this is all a choice
That comes with risks
But every second ticks
And I think how I am not in your arms
Baby it does me harm
Because Words escape my mind
As our talks take the night
Is it laughter or your voice I crave?
Because after everything you gave
How can I still demand some more?
But the richest man without you is poor
And I know not every conversation is rainbows
I just think that after this we both know
That is Is more than a mistake
And maybe more of fate

And now, our end has come
It came to soon, we had our fun
Throughout the the years, I stood by your side
There you were so close to mine
But time has a funny way
To change and shape the man I am today
I try to find comfort in I know I need this too
To distance myself so far from you
Throughout the years we lived and laughed and cried
It breaks my heart to say you must do it alone this time
I listen to Sinatra say
He lived a life in his own way
To you sir I tip my hat
I never knew the pain in that
I'll struggle now, as I'll struggle through the years
I am now facing my deepest fears
I never planned this to come
I wanted to share the fading moon and rising sun
I beg you to please know
That I'm the one who chose to go
I'm hurting deep inside
Reflecting on the times we laughed and cried
I'm just trying to do what I know is best
But God knows this is my greatest test
To hurt the one who I stood beside
I was your best friend as you are still mine
I'm sorry it came to this
I'm sorry I'm not there to kiss
Every tear and mend the heart I broke
I know my actions were harsher than the words I spoke
So to you I'll finally say
Though I love you now today
I will always be here for you to confide
But I can't stay anymore at your side
I broke both our hearts
To say the hardest part
Even though I cry today
I'll live and laugh my way
