I woke up on the floor again
My bottle of Merlo my only friend
I didn’t even spill a drop
Take a swig fast, need to hit that spot

How did I get here?
I don’t mean the floor
How did I get stuck in this life I deplore?

I crawl back to my bed
I’m too weak to climb in
My body is shaking, I’m crawling out of my skin

I sit on the floor, a horrific site
Lifting the bottle with all my might
I can’t stand up
I can’t lie down
I can’t even make a single sound

Is this finally the end for me
I cannot think, I cannot see

I’m not sure if I am dead yet
But if I’m not today
Tomorrow’s a safe bet

Friday is here once again
Wishing the weekend would never end

How quickly every day goes by
Weeks and months seems to fly

I remember the days when I was a kid
A day seemed like a month, a month seemed like a year
Always felt like I was waiting, it hardly seemed fair

Wishing to grow up was a dream at the time
How I long for those days of nursery rhymes

Time is precious
It goes by so fast
How do I slow it down, make it last

We’re all caught up in this rat race called life
Full of disappointment, full of fright

Cherish each day and give thanks for each hour
Don’t live your life sad and sour
Make every moment of everyday worthwhile
Stay happy and joyful, widen your smile

All I want to do is have some fun
I really don’t want to hurt anyone

I’ve been hurt by men so many times before
My heart has been left in pieces on a blood stained floor

I’ve given so much of myself
Only to be beaten down once again
You’ve taken my love, and betrayed me my friend

Now you want me back
It’s not the first time
You can’t fool me with your roses and wine

Do you really think you can just waltz back in?
This isn’t a game
It’s not about who will win

I want a commitment
That’s not much to ask
It’s your last chance to take off that mask

Love me, Love me not…  

Either way, I'm ok
I love myself
Enough today

I keep waking up every day
To come to work just to collect my pay

I don’t even know if I like what I do
I feel like I’m better off home with the flu

Wouldn’t it be wonderful to do something you love?
Write a book, feed a dove

Walk on the beach
Sand in your toes
Salty sea air
Tickling your nose

It really is such a lovely daydream
Don’t wake me up, cause I just might scream

I’ll never forget my very first crush
I remember feeling like a great big mush

I was only sixteen, I didn’t know what love was
All I could see was fireworks and doves

Many years later my crush did find me
He proclaims he’s always been smitten
But how could that be?

He’s happily married, at least that’s what he says
But he also told me I’ve always been in his head

So why now is he searching me out?
I don’t understand, I have lots of doubt

Is it the truth or is it a scam
Do I take a chance and meet him
Do I really give a ****?

It’s been thirty years
But my curiosity prevails
I shouldn’t be nervous
He’s just another male

I sit and I wait for my crush of years ago
I hope I don’t choke when it’s time to say hello

Feeling weak in the knees and sixteen again
I see him walk in, the reunion begins…

Life…
What’s it all about?
All work and no play?
There must be more than that I pray

Twelve hour days or nine to five?
That doesn’t sound like being alive!

We wish our lives away waiting for the proverbial bell to ring
Ding ding the whistle sings
To mark the end of another work day
Except for those crazies who find it necessary to stay

I want to live the life I choose
Not nine to five and hitting snooze

A life that’s full of peace and love
Fly the skies like a snow white dove

I woke up this morning feeling peaceful
For the first time in years
Not anxiety, no trembling tears

No memories haunting me from the past
I wonder if this feeling will finally last

I’ve been through a great deal
Of sorry and pain
Darkness I never want to repeat again

I’ve done my sentence
I’ve paid my dues
I’ve given up the drugs and deadly *****

It’s time to live, start new and fresh
I’ve lost a plenty of years, I’m now ready for the best
