All the Way
Bret Desrochers May 2011
I* shall never forget

Where you came from
All the Way back
Never will I let you go
Together is where we belong

Under the night sky we lay
Stars shining oh so bright

This is what I need
On this night, here with you

Be careful my mind said
Even though my heart disagreed

Forget the past
Only remember the future
Real is finally what we are
Even all the **** we went through
Vividly play in my mind
Everything got us here
Remember forever that I love you

Beauty
Bret Desrochers Dec 2012
I'll never forget the first time
You put your lips on mine
Or the time when we decided to take another chance
When we decided it was time for another dance
Those who don't believe in us are all wrong
We were meant for each other all along

Beauty works in it's own way
You remind me of that every day
You don't have a flaw, at least in my eyes
You're lovelier then these pale blue skies

So maybe one day when it's forever
You and I can watch each other
Get older and older with every passing houw
Even in old age I'd still climb to the highest tower
Well boo it's because if it's for you
You're **** right I'm going to do what I got to do

Beauty works in it's own way
You remind me of that every day
You don't have a flaw, at least in my eyes
You're lovelier then these pale blue skies

I don't care about the past anymore
Our story can be passed down like folk-lore
How you and I finally came to be
Like Romeo & Juliet you'll see
The difference is we won't have a tragic end
Because I won't ever leave my best friend

Beauty works in it's own way
You remind me of that every day
You don't have a flaw, at least in my eyes
You're lovelier then these pale blue skies

Excuse me for the interruption

Your lies describe disruption

Mistakes happen for a reason

My love for you is high treason

Nobody knows that us was we

Baby my dream was you and me

My biggest mistake was loving you

All that ******* you put me through

Please just go the **** away

Can't bear the pain to see you stay

It Means Nothing
Bret Desrochers Dec 2011
I walk away fighting the urge
To turn around at you and scream
You make it all seem worse then what it may be
I beg to you just set me free

You want to fight I can tell
And make me say something I'll regret
Even though I only regret falling for you
Especially after all this **** you do

I know what I say means nothing
It goes in one ear then out the other
I don't even know why I seem to bother

You're a liar and cheater
Somebody who thinks they can get away
With anything they do on any day

It seems you always need the last word
Ending ever sentence with a goodbye
Do I even care that you don't wanna try
You push me to the edge, you make me wanna die

Once again I will ask
If what I speak will reach your brain
Or if I wasted my breath for another time
Whatever you seem to do, seems to be a crime

I know what I say means nothing
It goes in one ear then out the other
I don't even know why I seem to bother

You're a liar and a cheater
Someone who thinks they can get away
With what they do on any day

It means nothing admit it
Cause you don't give two *****
No you don't, don't ******* lie
I hope what I say hits home, makes you cry!

Death by the Touch
Bret Desrochers Jan 2011
Go!!

I try to forget too many things
Think I can fly but I have no wings
It was a time of uncertainty
So I begged for a guilty plea

Thought I'd get the bare minimum
Maybe just pay some hefty sum
But no, got both sum and cell time
I can do the time, can't pay a dime

It was something I shouldn't have touched
So mad so rushed
Who knew I could cause a death
I didnt up until your last breath

Of  ones cold warm skin
My only issue was I didn't win

A fresh start would be useful
More like very needed to me
So God just please set me free
These past months have been awful

So let's break away from each others grasp
Start a future forget the the past
Leave it all behind
Maybe now I can start to unwind

It was something I shouldn't have touched
So mad so rushed
Who knew I could cause a death
I didn't up till your last breath

Of ones cold warm skin
My only issue was I didn't win

I step out a brand new man
If I wanted, I could have ran
Outside seems different
But right now that's all irrelevent

I visit your tombstone
I'm sorry I left you all alone
I'm sorry I took your life
I know if you were here now, you'd be my wife

I ask was it to much?
A regular death, a death by the touch
Of me.

The Crossroads
Bret Desrochers Jul 2012
It seems everything special turns to dust
As questions asked make my brain bust
So I plead God to answer me
With my final plea

Here I stand at the crossroads
Unsure of which way to turn
It seems like a familiar question
Of which bridge to burn
Do I stay and support like promised
Or do I leave and watch my heart churn

So as bombs drop and heads lift
I do my best to not cause a riff
Staying may be harder then I thought
But I won't leave you alone to rot

Time and pain will pass
One day you'll ask
What'd I lose and what'd I win
Was giving me up a prayer or was it a sin

Here I stand at the crossroads
Unsure of which way to turn
It seems like a familiar question
Of which bridge to burn
Do I stay and support like I promised
Or do I leave and watch my heart churn

Empty Hands
Bret Desrochers Nov 2011
Holding you felt so so right
This will become an unforgettable night
I don't believe in much of stuff above
But this is most certainly true love

I peer out into the empty land
Wishing you were here to fill my empty hands
Sometimes wishes don't come true
Still I will always pray for you

I'm here if there is an empty hole
In your heart or in your soul
Trust me, and I can set you free
I will never ask for sympathy

Walk across water
Burn to get hotter
Drink to quench a thirst
*******, wouldn't be my first

I can longer live without you
No matter what I have to do
You are the only one I will ever choose

We live a lifestyle lived by few
Only belonging to the true
Perched high never meant to lose
Copyright; Bret Desrochers
Bret Desrochers Jan 2012
I can't put into words how I feel
Every time you and I fight then heal
I pray to God what I did was right
And I hope I led you to the light

Go be with the one you love
Turns out you weren't sent from above
I got high and ****** up
And couldn't even stand up

Still you took me back
Even though sense was something I lack
Oh will you please just understand
I do what I do, to be the better man

I can't put into words how I feel
Every time you and I fight and heal
I pray to God what I did was right
I hope I led you to the light

We go at it and sobriety starts to leak
My future starts to look bleak
I said the right things wrong
You'll see why before long

I had to end it when I did
Cause it wasn't too long ago
That you and I went to hell, down below
And emerged, never to be the same

I cannot imagine what I've done
I crossed a line never turning back, I can only run

I can't put into words how I feel
Every time we fight and heal
I pray to God what I did was right
I hope I led you to the light

I know that when **** hit the fan
I promised to you I'd be a better man
This is me keeping that promise
Woah yeah

I put my faith in you
Gave you more then ever
Still you didn't believe in forever
So don't ask again if we can be together
Forever has turned into never

Go!

I don't need your kiss
I don't need your love
I just want to go on ahead
Too many tears have been shed
This was never meant to last
You're now apart of my past

You lied through your teeth
Good thing I didn't wait to breathe
I was just someone you used
My heart was just something you abused
So when it's late, late, late at night
And you cry after another fight
Just remember....

I don't need your love
I don't need your kiss
I just want to go on ahead
Too many tears have been shed
This was never meant to last
You're now apart of my past

Instead of looking back on the good
I watched the bad and finally understood
There were holes in everything you said
The anger you had was burning read
I found out the truth and finally won
So don't bet on being my only one

I don't need your love
I don't need your kiss
I just want to go on ahead
Too many tears have been shed
This was never meant to last
You're now apart of my past

Now don't get me wrong
I loved you all along
I just needed the clouds to part
It ***** for that, it took a broken heart

So when it's late, late, late at night
And you cry after another fight
Just remember.....

I don't need your love
I don't need your kiss
Just know I'm sorry for everything
And that you'll always be my greatest win

I Just Want You...
Bret Desrochers Jan 2012
It all went dark and bleak
I could start to feel my knees grow weak
My hands shook with every word you said
Anger had your face blood red

I'd be there until I was asked to leave
I always wore my heart, right on my sleeve

I'm dying to know how exactly you feel
All because you know how I feel
This separates us from the rest of the pack
Now that we've arrived there is no turning back

I just want you to be well aware
I just want you to be there and care
You proved to handle my highs
But can you withstand my lows

A time will come where you or I depart
It never will be an end just another start
So can I know you're gonna be okay
When the time comes on that fateful day

Lost
Bret Desrochers Dec 2011
I sometimes wonder if I belong
Cause everything I do is somehow wrong
My day is never up, always down
I never smile, always frown

In this world I feel alone and lost
I'd do anything to loved and found
No matter the cost
'Till then I won't make a sound

This thought I think inside my head
Makes me think. Am I better off dead
I somehow wonder if one day it'll all make sense
Or is my life worth nothing but petty cents

People pretended to know what I went through
I thought everyone was fake until I met you

After that everything seemed to change for the good
You spoke to me and I finally understood
Just cause I'm lost doesn't mean I won't be found

In my mind I can sense some clarity
In my life I find some stability
Can see the light at the end of the tunnel

In this world I feel alone and lost
I'd do anything to be loved and found
No matter the cost
'Till then I dare not make a sound

Woah, Yeah

In this world I felt lost!
Wanted to be loved and found
I did not care bye who or the cost
Until you I never made a sound

Keep Them at Bay
Bret Desrochers Oct 2011
Cross another of the list
Of things I've ****** up
Still wonder if I can ever stop
Seems I'm always just to ******

Try my best to keep them at bay
Try to push them farther away
Seems I gotta start to practice what I preach
Just so I can keep my demons out of reach

Seems it wasn't to long ago
That I had it all, in the palm of my hand
'Till all the ******* reach a point
A point at which I could no longer stand

The so called "higher power" can't keep them at bay
Not today, no not today
Time to Move!

As the darkness pulls me to its hole
Swallows me up and spits me out
Except now I live without a soul

Seems like I couldn't keep them at bay
Please just listen to what I have to say
To what I have to preach
Seems like I'm within their reach

Go away and stay there
I can't handle another scare
Hit bottom, real low
Should I take it slow?

Just to keep my demons away
To keep them, keep them at bay

Ten Years Ago
Bret Desrochers Oct 2011
One day in September would change everything
Inspired some to fight and some to sing
There was time to grieve and time to hurt
To the world this was just the start

For ten years ago we thought we'd lost it all
For hours ago two buildings had stool so tall
Killed me to sit and watch them fall
I swear to God we'll come back stronger
Can't take sitting around no longer

I can still hear the screams 'till this very day
Being awake no longer keeps the nightmares at bay
That one day we stood as one
And prayed together under the fall sun

For every time I look up towards the sky
And remember the angst and pain
I fight back tears, trying not to cry
My efforts are worthless, and tears our like rain

For ten years ago we thought we'd lost it all
For hours ago two buildings had stood so tall
Killed me to sit and watch them fall
I swear to God we will come back stronger
Can't take sitting around no longer

Oh ten years ago we all sat and watched
Oh ten years ago we all sat and watched
As symbols of power and hope tumbled to the ground
You could feel the heart of America all around

Where Were You?
Bret Desrochers Feb 2012
Sometimes when expectations are not met
It's usually cause of how high the bar was set
And how you treat me now, I will never forget
Cause sometimes I'm something you don't get

Where were you, when I needed inspiration
Work was always your sole destination
When I needed something to look up to
I never truly believed it would ever be you

I found it in the most profound places
With people who had the most recognizable faces
It only took Sixx seconds for me to realize
That the world is beautiful, though not in everybody's eyes

The shadows creep up ever so slightly
Now would be time for the lights to burn brightly
Can't expect what you want to be given
Gotta take what you can, if you can be driven

Where were you, when I needed inspiration
Work was always your sole destination
When I needed somebody to look up to
I never truly believed that it'd be you

Save You
Bret Desrochers Nov 2011
It seems that in a small slot of time
You commit another crime
If it means you have to restart
You run away, just to break my heart

I can't imagine what you do
But baby I just wanna save you
I'll rescue you from the darkest hole
From San Diego to Lowell all to protect your soul

You say sorry for what you did
Saying its time to stop the skid
Empty promises and empty eyes
Both filled with lies

If I wasn't here
Your fate is crystal clear
In a bottom of a ditch
Or with a guy who knows you as *****

I can't imagine what you do
But baby I just wanna save you
I'll rescue you from your one-way lane
From Seattle to Portland Maine

No need to be afraid
You'll never have to know what would happen
If I hadn't stayed
Count on me baby I'll help you through
let me save you
*let me save you

Kick it!

Twist open and let it pour out
You'll enjoy the pleasure I have no doubt
It'll bring you down to your knees
I can assure that, it'll be breeze

Enjoy today forget about tomorrow
Who needs to steal when you can borrow
Never say that you can't
Cause it'll start a rant
That'll never end
I can guarantee that my friend

It's easy to see what you need
Harder to tell what you want
Hit up the streets anytime I please
But is it what I want or what I need

Jump around let us have a good time
Having fun sure ain't a crime

Enjoy today forget about tomorrow
Who needs to steal you can just borrow
Never say that you can't
Cause it'll start a rant
That'll never end
I can guarantee that my friend

My pals are the people I like
They aren't gonna go leave and strike
Strike a blow straight to my back
Cause anger, is something we lack

I had to ditch
Cause sometimes life is a *****
But I came back to see your face
I ran back at a frantic pace

Every light I light
Can never warm me like you did that night
Cause our love was the only thing I did right

C'mon like Really?
Bret Desrochers Nov 2011
I can sense your words are filled with air
Don't you fake like you care
You should see what you've come to be
Just look in a mirror and see!

C'mon like really!?
Just let me speak my mind freely
You seemed to good, to cute
You abused and played me like a flute

No amount of time can ever heal!
How ****** you made me ******* feel!

In every way imaginable you ****
No break you never sit and chill
One little word can send waves through and through
Effecting everyone, including you to

Woah Woah Woah
C'mon like really?
Woah Woah Woah
Just speak your mind freely

You turn your head and free your mind
It seems the world to you, ain't so kind
Looks like this thing ain't a thing no more

You pick out of a crowd
Cover your heart with a shroud
It seems your out to settle a score

C'mon baby like really
You chose not to speak freely
You thought I'd just go away
No not today, no not today

Bret Desrochers Dec 2011
I tried to be civil and neat
I tried to come back sweep you off your feet
Do you know we met when I was high
Do you know I think of you when I look up at the sky

You may frown upon what I choose to do
But we all know it is because of you

I see you and cringe inside
I hear you and dart and hide
Your the one I want to be reckless
When it comes to you I'm selfless

I've noticed and come to realize
That it isn't fire which burns in your eyes

The moment came where I had to see
What you had come to be
And I walked over and couldn't say a word
And turned and ran back into the herd

I was in way to deep in all this ****
But now I'm here and your my it
My it my everything
My it my everything

My apologies were true and sincere
And now it's lead me and you here
Can we please just not fight
I am done being alone at night

Let It Out
Bret Desrochers Oct 2011
Go ahead and let it out
Go ahead and let it out

You use your heart not for me
You save your anger and direct it at me
I thought we had gone beyond this place
So scream and no longer save face

This world is full of hate and pain
Tears around the world fall like rain
Sometimes I wonder if I'm better off alone
Who will care for you if I am gone?

So go ahead and scream
Always remember there's no I in team
Don't push me too far
Don't open a wound that'll heal but scar

I apologize for what remains in the past
If it's any comfort I think we can make this last
Your the light in these dark times
Baby please forgive me of my crimes

Only you and I can feel
Only you and I can heal
There is a place where we can go
I just need to know

Go ahead and let it out
Go ahead and let it out

So go ahead and scream
Always remember there is no I in team
Don't push me too far
Don't open a wound that'll heal but scar.

Verse 1

As if it wasn't enough
You had to act all tough
You make me spit fire
As you become a better liar

Chorus

It made it all go away
As you were here to stay
The things it made
As our love began to fade

Verse 2

You claimed to be a rebound
Attacked me like a hell hound
I kept on bleeding
You started heeding

Bridge

It was the price I had to pay
For I'd do anything to see you stay

Verse 3

People say we won't make it
But who in Hell gives a ****
Hold me one last time
Dear you are my worst Crime

Go on ahead and check the scene
See if it has what it takes to get me clean
I've been to rock bottom and in a dark place
I need to rise up and see a bright face

I wonder who'd miss me
I wonder who'd show sincerity

Does anyone even care at all
If I stand or if I fall
I know that you don't
I won't ask for a visit I know you won't

I cannot even picture you these days
Your face is nothing but a foggy haze
As our memories burn into ash
I fight the urge to get high off hash

I wonder if she'll finally realize
I wonder if she'll see what she means in my eyes

Does anyone even care at all
If I stand or if I fall
I know that you don't
I'd ask for a visit but I know you won't

The words I speak aren't *******
And I mean all of it
Tomorrow is a brand new day
But can I get through today?

Silly Little Feeling
Bret Desrochers Mar 2012
You found me when my life was off track
You took my hand and brought me back
Without knowing you had my heart
And we got off to a fresh, brand new start

I get a silly little feeling
Every time we touch
We kiss to start the healing
Of how I missed you so much

I always planned on forever
You and I simply together
You're all I need on this earth
You can have all you want no matter its worth

It's quite a simple little thing
Baby you are my everything

I get a silly little feeling
Every time we touch
We kiss to start the healing
Of how I missed you so much

When together I forget to breathe
In my mind your face is all that can prevail
Cause when together I never wanna leave
A simple breath is all I can inhale

A treacherous path lay ahead
With you next me, everything else is dead

I get a silly little feeling called love
From the moment our hands touch
And I know you were sent from above
Cause oh I love you so ******* much

Every night spent with you feels like first time
With time never seeming to be long enough
Leaving you every single time
Is getting incredibly tough

With every kiss that I take
And every promise that I make
Love just continues to grow
And the magic just continues to flow

Holding you is easily the best part
I have faith you'll take care of my heart
It's simple as it can be
Cause baby you're the definition of happy

So with every kiss that I take
And every promise that I make
Love can continue to grow and grow
And the magic continues to flow

Never thought I'd feel this way
Once again it was to soon to say
I can't imagine a world you don't breathe in
I can only imagine one together pure without a sin

Every kiss that I take
Every promise that I make
Our love can always and forever grow
The Magic will always and forever flow

Lay down next to me
Baby I’ll set you free
Promises don’t mean a thing
I want more then a fling

If I could unlock your heart
But holding one anothers a start
Your voice drowns out the demons
Unexplainable are my feelings

Without me you cry
Without you I die.
You pull me from a fragile state
Why can’t this be our fate

Your eyes are candles in the dark
Our kiss was more then a spark
We can make this last
Baby just put some faith in me

It was all a game
Didn't matter did it?
Bout fortune or fame
your tricks and your lies didn't fit
no matter how hard i tried
to not believe
to late my heart was fried
i screamed get out and leave

out the door you went
babe the time wasn't well spent
i'll never get it back
**** you did was ******* wack
how do i rebuild my life
without you my love my wife
people say life will go on
but i met, then my life was gone

so now here i go
taking two steps forward
not for anyone, will i stoop so low
everyone new i meet, i'll be straightforward
don't buy me a drink
i'll be dead in a wink
i shot it dropped it smoked it
i saw what i did
so i up and quit it
i capped that chapter of my life with a lid

Am I Thinking?
Bret Desrochers Dec 2012
What the **** am I thinking
I must not 'cause look at what I'm doing
I just have a knack for ruining things
Especially the ones that mean the most

Are you going to be here when I come home
Or will you leave me again, will I be alone

No more you, no more me
All this has me question reality
Sure these things all feel real
But what you're saying just can't be true
Granted that it's only a matter of time
Before I'm useless to you and your existence

What the **** am I thinking
I must not 'cause look at what I'm doing
I just have a knack for ruining things
Especially the ones that mean the most

Are you going to be here when I come home
Or will you leave me again, will I be alone

I constantly sing about my heart breaking
I truly wish I could stop how you feel
How you think the answers a bullet or rope
Baby just have a little hope
No harm will ever come your way
Not today or any other day

There will never be a time in which you fall
That I won't catch you and stand you up tall

What the **** am I thinking
I must not 'cause look at what I'm doing
I just have a knack for ruining things
Especially the ones that mean the most

Are you going to be here when I come home
Or will you leave me again, will I be alone

I can't take this pain anymore
Just come back and run into my arms
They won't ever let you go again
That's a promise I intend to keep
Because no matter what I ever love
None of it will come close to you

Just Have Faith
Bret Desrochers Jan 2012
Why can't I escape my past
It ain't helping me and you last
I tried running rather then face my fears
That's got your eyes letting out tears
Don't you understand that what I told you
Was the hardest thing for me to ever do

One mistake was all it took
And you closed me like an old book
I never felt right again after you went away
All because I didn't know what to say

I asked you to have faith, keep trying
Maybe one day soon you can stop crying

I can't escape my past
It ain't helping me and you last
I tried running rather then face my fears
That's got your eyes letting out tears
Don't you understand that what I told you
Was the hardest thing for me to do

You're the main reason I got sober
So together you and I could grow closer
It wasn't for anyone except her
Nobody except for her

I asked you to have faith, keep trying
Maybe one day soon you can stop crying

I can no longer escape my past
It caught up to me way to fast
It took you into into its abyss
Cause it knew without you I'd lose my bliss

Am I Thinking?
Bret Desrochers Dec 2012
What the **** am I thinking
I must not 'cause look at what I'm doing
I just have a knack for ruining things
Especially the ones that mean the most

Are you going to be here when I come home
Or will you leave me again, will I be alone

No more you, no more me
All this has me question reality
Sure these things all feel real
But what you're saying just can't be true
Granted that it's only a matter of time
Before I'm useless to you and your existence

What the **** am I thinking
I must not 'cause look at what I'm doing
I just have a knack for ruining things
Especially the ones that mean the most

Are you going to be here when I come home
Or will you leave me again, will I be alone

I constantly sing about my heart breaking
I truly wish I could stop how you feel
How you think the answers a bullet or rope
Baby just have a little hope
No harm will ever come your way
Not today or any other day

There will never be a time in which you fall
That I won't catch you and stand you up tall

What the **** am I thinking
I must not 'cause look at what I'm doing
I just have a knack for ruining things
Especially the ones that mean the most

Are you going to be here when I come home
Or will you leave me again, will I be alone

I can't take this pain anymore
Just come back and run into my arms
They won't ever let you go again
That's a promise I intend to keep
Because no matter what I ever love
None of it will come close to you
