I didn't go the right way
No, I've made a few wrong turns
I've played some games with matches
I've had my share of burns

I may not have it all together
I don't have much to claim
But to myself I've always been true
I've followed my own aim.

It might have made it harder
Always making my own path
I might have lost a lot of races
But I never came in last

I always did what I thought was right
So the regrets I have are few
Never looked for any prize
Just did what I should do

Now looking back
My vision's improved
Seeing clearly now
I still wouldn't change a move

My past is part of who I am
It's what has made me me
And I like myself just as I am
Wouldn't change a thing about me!

It’s now or never
My one chance to rise
A fight to the finish
To claim a prize

A worthy prize
No matter the cost
Without the prize
I’m surely lost

So I’ll stand and fight
With all of my might
I can’t give up now
When the prize is in sight

It won’t be easy
I’m vastly out-weighed
But I've got to try
Though, I admit, I’m afraid

My arms are getting heavy
But I won’t quit; I won’t go
The only way to make me
Is with a TKO

So I’ll roll with the punches
I’ll stay in the ring
Dodge hooks and jabs
Till the last bell sings

‘Cause if I’m still standing
It means I've succeeded
If I win this fight
I’ll have all that I've needed

So against all odds
Please wish me luck
Place your bet on me
‘Cause I won’t give up!

The feeling is back
That subconscious pull
That craving, that longing
That urge if you will

An unquentiable thirst
A blazing fire
I'm filled with that feeling
That burning desire

Only one thing
Can put me at ease
Only one thing
Will leave me pleased

Floating above
Way up in the sky
Only one thing
Can give me that high

Waiting and hoping
My needs soon will be met
That I'll soon find
A new catch in my net

There’s a guy I’ve known for a little while
I can’t think of him without starting to smile
He’s been there for me with a helping hand
He’s really quite a gentleman

Of him I’ve grown to be quite fond
I truly feel that we share a bond
I really enjoy his company
And he likes spending time with me

But I think that I’ve fallen for him and that’s bad
‘Cause I don’t think he feels the same and that’s sad
I’m worried that I like him a little too much
I’m so scared of getting hurt and such

But I know he likes me so perhaps there’s a chance
That this friendship could turn into romance
That’s what I’m hoping with all of my might
That he could love me, that he just MIGHT

He makes me happy
And you can see that he tries
He really must care
I have to surmise

He’s been there for me
Time and again
When I needed help
Or simply a friend

He makes me laugh
He’s fun and smart
He’s silly and sweet
And has a good heart

I’ve fallen in-love
Though I tried to fight it
He made me love him
And I can’t deny it

He’s far from perfect
That you can see
But I’m starting to think
That he’s perfect for me

He’s been told how I feel
Now I wait and see
How he will respond
Has he fallen for me?

A new mountain to climb
One that's cold, steep and high
But with no other choice
I simply must try

I feel just like Atlas
With the world's weight to bear
As I trudge up the mountain
Struggling to breathe the thin air

My strength is tested
And I'm feeling weak
My endurance is challenged
And I'm far from the peak

The top of the mountain
My one chance at peace
I fight through the pain
That simply won't cease

My goal's out of sight
But never out of mind
As I follow that path
That climbs while it winds

The journey is getting harder
Will I make it to the top?
I don't know if I can
But I simply can not stop!

I've got to keep on climbing
If I don't I'll die
But from here at the bottom
The top looks so high!

Though it seems out of reach
I have to strive
I must reach the peak
If I want to survive

I can't give up
No matter how high
I'll climb to the top
Or die while I try!

You made me love you
Against my will
You grew tired of me
But I love you still

Am I as unloveable
As it seems?
Can I only truly
Be loved in my dreams?

I did nothing wrong
And you threw me away
Was I just a distraction
For a rainy day?

I thought we were happy
That we'd never part
Then out of the blue
You broke my heart

You said 'forever'
I thought it was true
I never felt for anyone
What I felt for you

I feel it still
Though you obviously don't
My brain says 'let go'
But my heart just won't

They say to move on
And meet someone new
I've tried and I've tried
But my heart's set on you

I hate you sometimes
For hurting me
You made me fall
But didn't catch me

You walked away without a scratch
I was put in Intensive Care
You're safe at home without a care
I'm lost without you; still gasping for air

It's been years since that day
My world fell apart
When you crushed my dreams
And shattered my heart

But my heart still holds on
My love was so true
I've tried to let go
But I still think of you

I want to move on
For this wound to heal
But time only EASES
The pain that I feel

The wound's not so fresh
The pain not as bad
But still it hurts
And makes me so sad

Confusion and hurt
A wound that won't mend
Longing and sadness
That won't seem to end

I wish and I hope
Let this be the day
My sadness and longing
And hurt go away!

I'm sure it will happen
I will move on
But I'm tired of waiting
It's taking so long!
