Ring of white rope bound to my soul
A glimpse of a life drowning away
My heart lingering on the edge of no tomorrow
Soaring cliff above all the rushing water
Let me lay this rope down
Unburden this weary soul
Never shrinking from what drags underneath the water
Grasping at unseen air to breath
Just take me down the river,
Don’t fight the undertow
Just take me down the river
The sadness you don’t want to know
Just take me down the river
Don’t fight the undertow
Let this weary soul flow away now
No use fighting against the current
Sorrow and heartache is not the solution
Let go of the rope and all the pain it holds
Float on and take the hits
Raging rapids drives your rage
The drop off kills you bit by bit
Up to the last big drop
Into the deep, into the deep
Just take me down the river,
Don’t fight the undertow
Just take me down the river
The sadness you don’t want to know
Just take me down the river
Don’t fight the undertow
Let this weary soul flow away now

I want to point something out to everyone out there.
You are all in love or are not
Remember this,
There are lot other people that loves you
Give them a hug, smile, and say I love you
Either if it’s a neighbor, your co worker, family, or a lonely friend
They are in your life for a reason, so cherish them
Love them for who they are and what they bring to your life
St. Valentine is a saint who died for his cause
He was whipped, ****** and beheaded
All in name for love
So today’s a ****** reminder that
Love is about what your heart feels inside.
Be blessed to love other, whoever they are!

let’s sit down and have a talk
i want you to know i took a walk
alongside the river
i looked upon the moonlight
reflecting off the lake that night
thinking about this issue
i think it’s time i’m going to say no
to myself and let this go
because i’m so tired
tired of how i’m getting hurt
seeing you being a flirt
what am a man to do
stand by and do nothing?
this feeling i have is so disgusting
i just want to walk away from all this
i cherish the friendship
but i can’t stand the tension
the love that burns in my heart
the pain, i can’t take any more
in this darkness, the love i’m groping for
it’s not going to be there when i fall
this my dear, i bid you adieu
good bye is what i will wish you
and all the love you will find

do you ever get that kind of feeling
where you’re constantly losing
at this fight you’re trying to win
just take a step back and look
at this big picture
you’re not gonna win
it’s more deeper than what you’d think
the way the world works
you’re the underdog and already you can’t win
fight and you’d probably lose
stand up for what you really want
but in the end, you simply won’t win
yeah it’s strange how you see life play out
when you’re on your way out
god will not grant you the win
yeah, it’s beautiful
the way we all lose
it’s the art of losing…..
where’s the win
when there’s only one victor
think about how many ways you can lose
pride in what you want to do
face the defeat with your best face
and accept the song of blues
standing at the bar
fightin’ w/ the bartender
trying to get more *****
the con you pulled
just a little act
all for a ruse
trying to get that love
you truly wanted
but no you had to blow your fuse
yeah, it’s beautiful
the way we all lose
it’s the art of losing…..

Came crashing into this world
Born deem unworthy of being alive
Cursed to be cursed for all the time
No way one can be loved with this over
One's head like a raining cloud
Out in this cruel world full of hate
Walking in search of something
Unreachable to the common man
Like oneself to be hurt
On a journey of unimaginable pain
Dealing with formidable opponents worthy of defeating for honor amongst common men
In search for a treasure that One holds dearly
suicidal thoughts murders the inner soul
Disturbed as it may be, only this can cures what it ails
Love, yes love is what holds One's spirit up
Steady holding off from falling down upon weary knees
On my dying breath, I pray for the one to hear my wish as it escapes my lips
the sound of death rattles my soul amd my world shall fade to black
And Mr Reaper at the door tells me I'm not worthy to enter the world of living dead
Then I'm regurgiated back to reality with a disillusion for what truth lies for one
What is love, and why does it hurt?
What makes it make me feel so lonely?
Red river runs from my veins
Pouring out my heart for one to hear my cry

*That kiss I once remembered
Now lost forever
Locked the memories of you away
In a jeweled box full of photographs
Tossed over the board
Into the sea of misery
Dry tears full of sorrow
I'm gonna sail away
Sail on to a new tomorrow
On to the next great adventure
Into the unknown my darling
It's a sad, sad goodbye
It's hard
To undo
my skeleton hands
Letting go from what we once had
Great treasures
The wealth of our memories
I once held upon my broken heart
Sail on.....
Sail on.....
Sail on......*

Each time we get together,
we’re bumpin’ heads
tryin’ to start something
and not be able to finish it
we’re just tryin’ to get the kinks out
whoo hoo
can’t get it down perfect on our first try
we got to work on this together
talking to you, talking to me
brain stormin’ on ideas on what to do
we’re just tryin’ to get the kinks out
whoo hoo
not everything’s going to turn out right
on our first trip down the road
i’m crazy and so are you
come on and get’s this machine movin’
we’re just tryin’ to get the kinks out
whoo hoo
Temper’s flarin’, the top’’s busted out loose
losin’ steam on things
we gotta keep on tryin’
don’t get frustrated
we’re just tryin’ to get the kinks out
whoo hoo

I don’t regret the day I met you
bumping into you at a little show
me and my boys was throwing down
tearing up the stage
trying to impress you
Wanting to dance with that sweet honey
throwing some money
just trying to get your attention
you picked it all up, and threw it back in my face
told me you’re better than me
I got angry, stormed out,
my boys were laughing at me
i regret what i did
so I crawled back into the bar on my knees
came up to you and tapped on your shoulder
Apologize, that’s what you do
Said what was need to be said
Tipped my hat and turned around
I stopped and said oh wait..
Turned back around said
Would you like to dance?
with a ol’ sinner like me?
You won’t regret it
Got shot down, got knocked down
Can’t get back up now
My feelings were hurt
stole some bottle of whiskey from the bar
drank it all down
Spent my night drowning in my alcohol induced sorrow
Praying for a better tomorrow
That I’d bump into you once again
at a different show, a different day, a new pain
Hoping for a second chance
to ask you out for another dance
with that sweet honey
tried to drink you away
and you...I can't get over
awooo

whoa...
whoa...
I’ve got only me, only me..
heartbreakers after another
left with broken pieces
picking up after myself
putting myself back together
I’ve got only me, only me
I can only handle one heartbreak at a time
what they all are doing to me is a crime
million pieces of me and it only takes time
For me to get back on my feet
And be able to face life once again
The pain, the pain
Intolerable but I bear it
When things fall apart
I just carry myself
To somewhere, someplace
In solace
Where I can completely fall apart
No point in crying over someone
when you know it’s the truth
I can’t be loved
I can’t be touched
I’ve got only me, only me
Confused, lost over pieces
That don’t go where they belong
I’ve realized all along
I’ve been meant to be in pieces
Only someone can put me back together
Complete me, oh...............
until now and until then
I’ve got only me, only me...
