I don't live my life with no regrets I take it day by day Those regrets have made me learn Albeit the hard way Like the day I wished I could eat my words The time I made you cry The day I spoke so out of turn It made you say goodbye Staying quiet was never my thing It probably never will be I've learned that that is just part of life Well, part of life with me I've learned that this, Is not always the best way But I learned in the past too That its awful to have nothing to say When the words dry up So does the love Saying nothing in the past Was a great learning curve I guess all it is I really want to say Is sorry for talking And being this way But if I was quiet You wouldn't love me You'd love the great person I once tried to be I will keep on regretting And learning from this If there was no apology There'd be no kiss

Regret
Will this black cloud, ever shift from my head Be replaced with sunshine And make me feel less dead? I can't weep anymore I physically just cannot My whole world is collapsing I can take no more. I want to be happy But what is that anyway? I don't think I've ever known But this feeling's here to stay So please, just take me Take me away, Away from this world Find me a place to stay A place where I feel no pain A place where I can be Left alone forever And just be me No I won't do it, I am too cowardly I guess I'll just stick around For my life of misery.

Is This Living?
Could you just let me in? Tell me what I did, To make me feel, Like I am full of sin? Am I not living right? Not being good all the time? Am I really as awful, As the person in your sight? Did I say the wrong thing? Hurt you at all? See, I don't think I did Yet I am blamed for everything. And they'll all say, I'm in the wrong. They never liked me much, But that never mattered, anyway. It would appear though, That it matters now, Because I am the ***** The number one foe I could just forget it, and say, let it go You don't desrve me, Not one little bit But contrary, to popular belief I am a good person, Deep down I am, And I don't deserve grief So just let me know, What I can do, To make it right And stop all the woe Or continue to erase me, From your sweet life, Just don't come crawling, When you can see See that you were wrong, Because then it'll be too late, My good nature, Only lasts so long. This may be goodbye, This may just be it I'll be sad to see you go But perhaps it was all a lie.

The Last Goodbye?
I sometimes sit and long, For the simplest of things, Someone to read the paper with And always answer when I ring Someone who'll make me cups of tea And hold me till I sleep Someone who is strong enough To be there when I weep I fool myself everyday That I'm happy on my own Put on a happy face in the public view But the story is different when I'm alone I really am a simple girl Who wants a simple life I want the happy ending And to be someone's wife Sometimes it seems these are just dreams And dreams is all they will be Because I am so awful Who'd actually want me? You can call it self pity And maybe you're right But that doesn't stop the fact I'm sleeping alone tonight Perhaps it's time to just accept That love is not for me I'm destined for loneliness I'm destined to be free However, that won't do somehow, The romantic in me Will not give up on these ideas At least not for now

Simple Things
People tell me I'm crazy To feel the way I feel Becuase it's all superficial It's based on nothing real I know in my heart How great a person you are And that can't be fake Or it wouldn't have gotten this far But I am really scared Of feeling this way I'm scared someone better Will take you away It's happened before And it could again Because you're truly amazing Others will see it, and, what then? What then for us? It just won't be I don't begrudge you happiness I just wish it was with me It would be so easy To just walk away now To never find out what could be But that won't do somehow I'll take a chance on you I'll put my heart on the line It could just work for us It could all be fine

Distant Hearts
I watched you suffer At the pleausre of those evil girls and boys Who never let you join in And broke all your toys I felt your pain When those awful adolescents Tried to beat you down And laughed at your name I watched you fight your demons Fight the voices in your head Be taken advantage of By "friends" who know you're easily led I've watched you torture yourself For things that aren't your fault Poison your body With more than just salt Now I watch you lying there In that hospital bed You've been a stupid man Again, so easily led I wish you could just see How great a person you are To them you might be a ****** But to me you are a star Stop hiding in the haze Of drugs and alcohol Because it's not just you, you hurt When you stumble and fall What a mess you've made And it's me who's suffering now I feel selfish for saying it I feel like a cow However daft you've been And however bad you make me feel I will love you forever And that's what's real That's what matters That's what's true I just hope you're around To see me loving you

It Is Unconditional...
I don't miss you I just miss that feeling; that feeling of being more than just me, That feeling of being "us" of being "we" Of being "them" That cute couple The happy lovers With hands entwined It's back to being on my own Feeling lonely and cold No one to talk to No hand to hold I don't long for you I long for someone You've got that So why can't I? Don't get me wrong, I really don't care I wished you happiness... I'm happy for you But I'm sad for me And this just won't do I don't want sympathy I want another you

I Don't Miss You
They often tell you; "Look on the bright side" Don't be so down Ha! I'm smiling on the inside Honest I am I can laugh with the best At you're pathetic cliches And this pathetic mess That you call life Well, that's a joke We're merely exisitng We're drowning in the smoke You can dress it up And say:" Stay cheerful!" But to me it's no good I need to be dull I need to be real To see the bad side Because things don't go good No ones on my side And yes I might be a little pessimistic I might bring a downer on your silly smile But I can't pretend everythings okay The realist in me can only hide a while So I'll stick to my ways, If you don't mind Because when things do go well It's overwhelming joy I find So here's to us realists Us pessimists, us sad acts Let's laugh at the happy losers When reality hits them with a crash

Happiness?
My mind is blank I don't know what to say I'm trying to think of something But the words won't come my way I feel I've lots to tell you But then when we meet It's a quick hello-goodbye Like a meet and greet I feel like I've missed you Then I see you once again Why can't we have a conversation? Aren't we the best of friends? So with regret I have to say That these sad words have come my way I think we're losing each other And I think I like it this way I want you to tell me That everyhting's okay That we can go back to how we were But I'm afraid you've nothing to say So this is the last hi and bye The last of the laughs Although I want to cry But not all good things last I hope life treats you well And Selfishly me too I won't ever forget and I hope you don't The best days I shared with you

Loss
For You… I’ll never forget, that first day we met I was crazy, a little lazy But the memory my friend  is far from hazy You saw in me; that tortured soul Through my manic smile, you saw the pain and woe You helped me through those bad days And didn’t mind my strange ways Some time has passed now; I’m older and more wise But I still look at you as someone who’ll advise I’ll cry on your shoulder and you’ll make me laugh I’ll etch on my mind a sweet photograph I love you best friend; you know who you are There’s no need to remind you, I’m never far And I know it works the same for you You’re as crazy as me and you love me too
