If I fell silent for days... weeks... months... years... ...would you miss me?

I still get nervous singing in front of a crowd And I'm nervous that nothing I do will make people proud I worry that my life's heading in the wrong direction And that I won't find someone who'll exchange affection I fear that I have friends who don't want me around They just tolerate me, wouldn't care if I were sound Asleep, far away nowhere to be found Or buried ten feet beneath the cold hard ground They'll find my body long after I have drowned Under the stresses and the worries that I tell you now I keep this all inside Hide it in my mind When people ask if I'm okay I tell them that I'm fine I've never let these words see the light of day Cause how do I say These things to people with whom I play and pray So here these worries and thoughts will stay... Until today... I'm afraid one day I'll wake up depressed Haven't achieved my goals, always tired and stressed Didn't do my best when put to the test Allowed myself to slip below success Made mistakes along the way and now I'm less Than I set out to be, my life's an utter mess I'm scared one day I won't make people smile And on the day my life goes on trial I'll look back on all my days with regret Because I'm just some guy that everyone will forget My story's been written, my time's been spent And I didn't change the world everywhere that I went And I didn't give, not even a cent Because my fragile mind was twisted and bent From my original plan, the man god had sent Out to be a saint, a prophet, a gent Who on his own could make a dent On the darkness of the world, that's what was meant But I didn't become that guy Instead now I cry On my deathbed where I lie Alone because I didn't try I didn't reach for the sky When I had the chance to fly I fell down from life's high And now it's my time to die Now I'm all alone At this all time low Ten feet below Accompanied only by the flowers that grow Above me

Until Today

I still get nervous singing in front of a crowd And I'm nervous that nothing I do will make people proud I worry that my life's heading in the wrong direction And that I won't find someone who'll exchange affection I fear that I have friends who don't want me around They just tolerate me, wouldn't care if I were sound Asleep, far away nowhere to be found Or buried ten feet beneath the cold hard ground They'll find my body long after I have drowned Under the stresses and the worries that I tell you now I keep this all inside Hide it in my mind When people ask if I'm okay I tell them that I'm fine I've never let these words see the light of day Cause how do I say These things to people with whom I play and pray So here these worries and thoughts will stay...

Months have passed Since you came to me in pain We've moved on from that And a new friendship was gained We're back to the top Nothing can bring us down Our bond is stronger than ever I always want you around We've regained our love We're happier than ever Together once again Let's make it forever Thank you for being you You're beyond perfect in my eyes I'm sorry for hurting you before But I've been forgiven, haven't I? You're a blessing in my life There's no doubt for sure You're the girl of my dreams Through every obstacle we'll endure I'll love you forever Just give me your trust Stay by you for eternity To me that's a must

We were best of friends Nothing could separate us We were on top of the world Then she came along... Gradually we grew further and further apart We talked less, saw each other less And I thought I was doing fine I didn't know I was hurting you Then you came to me in pain I didn't know what to say You know I never meant To hurt you in any way I lost your trust Our relationship cracked When I heard what you had to say My happiness lacked Now I'm on a mission To regain your trust To redeem my name in your eyes That is a must Slowly but surely We're becoming closer again I'll do whatever it takes To once again be best friends

Woken up at 1:00am Dad's screaming Swearing Punching Grabs me and shakes me Why is he doing this? What did I do wrong? Confused more than I've ever been Mom comes in Grabs dad Tells him to stop Dad gets angrier Throws things Hole in the wall Mom's crying Tears drop to the floor Tells dad he's a monster A lunatic She runs out of the room Dad tears blankets away Tells me I need to grow up And I still don't even know what I've done Now there's a hole in me And it's irreparable It's too big to fix Fear, sadness, regret, All eating away at me And I wonder to myself Is it even worth it to be alive? Could I just end it all this very moment? Would my parents even care? All I want to do is make them happy, proud Yet I've torn them apart Made them hate me All I'm thinking now is "Lord forgive me, help me redeem myself for what I've done" But I'm scared Scared because I don't think I'll ever be able to fix this This hole might just be too big and too deep This blemish will stick with me forever

Legs intertwined At the end of the night Arms holding on tight This feels so right You say you're cold So tighter I hold I'll keep you safe and warm Even through the darkest storm I kiss your cheek It makes you weak You kiss my hand Every moment so grand No space between us But I'm not making a fuss I could fall asleep with you Nothing would be better, it's true Neither of us wants to go Because we both know That at moments like these We want time to freeze Moments like these Are pleasing to you and me And you're bringing the heat Because **** you are hot Stop staring? I cannot You're truly a sight to see That's merely what I believe I could admire you for hours You're more beautiful than a flower That blooms in the spring You make me want to sing And you radiate like the sun And you're so much fun And you've improved my like And you're sharper than a knife Will you be my wife Through toils and strife? Because I love you so And that love will only grow And that makes two Because I know you love me too I'm such a fortunate guy That at the end of the night I'm lying here with you Because there are very few Who get to experience this, Who comprehend this bliss But I'm one of those lucky few And for that reason I thank you

Lying Here With You

Legs intertwined At the end of the night Arms holding on tight This feels so right You say you're cold So tighter I hold I'll keep you safe and warm Even through the darkest storm I kiss your cheek It makes you weak You kiss my hand Every moment so grand No space between us But I'm not making a fuss I could fall asleep with you Nothing would be better, it's true Neither of us wants to go Because we both know That at moments like these We want time to freeze Moments like these Are pleasing to you and me And you're bringing the heat Because **** you are hot Stop staring?

Wow what an evening We danced without a care But it wouldn't have been the same Without your presence there There you were In a beautiful dress No I couldn't stop staring... Out of everyone there You surely looked the best I wanted to be By you all night Because in reality I still love you Please never leave my sight When that slow song came on I literally sprinted to you That song was our first slow dance That'll always be our song too Holding you in my arms Why couldn't that moment last forever Nothing will ever top those couple minutes Never Never Never I would do anything To repeat that night again To dance with you for hours It was like a scene from heaven

She means the world to you And you mean the world to her You two are fantastic for each other I see it in your eyes when you think about her, in your face when you talk about her I can sense how much you love her and that's a wonderful thing I think I can finally accept that I don't need you to be any more for me than you already are You and I are so close now And that's all I need from you A best friend, the best one I could possibly have A queen that I can spoil A girl that I can go to with any news, joy, problem, anything You're always there for me and I love you for that And I'll be here for you forever too I'll still love you in the same exact way for the rest of my life But I know that even if you love her more, I'll always be happy for you Because nothing makes me happier than to see you smile

The color red, it's your favorite The color white, your car, your house Shakespeare, we were King and Queen Choir, you sing like an angel Gymnastics, you competed Joseph, you directed Laser tag, you destroyed HIMYM, we watched as we cuddled Your scent, it still lingers on me Wine, I'd love to drink with you New Years Eve, we talked all day and night Mitchell's, we stayed for hours and conversed France, we traveled together Poetry, you got me writing again My car, where we kissed at midnight My basement, where we made love It all reminds me of you Sometimes I wish I had amnesia so I could forget...move on But I love you so much No case of amnesia could take you out of my mind Although sometimes it hurts I want you to know That I love each and every one of those little things that reminds me of you
