I woke up this morning
A smile on my face
I didn’t think I could be happy
Trying to keep up this pace

I’ve slowed it down some
Cut some things out
I want to be happy
Isn’t that what life is all about?

It’s impossible to do everything
So why do I try?
I end up exhausted
With tears in my eyes

I’ve been running and running
Like a hamster on a wheel
It’s time to relax
And regain my zeal

I’m tired of looking
He doesn’t exist
There is no man of my dreams
No more frogs for me to kiss

I don’t need a man
I’m fine all alone
I’ve grown to like it
No waiting by the phone

I don’t care if he likes me
If he’s in my bed or not
I’m very happy
Just me and my cot

No one to answer to
No more lies
I love my single life
What a surprise!

My head is always in the clouds
What a wonderful place to be
A beautiful new sky every day
Painted especially for me

*** or Love, which one should I choose
It never really matters, either way I lose

Why do I have to pick one or the other?
I was told I could have both, so said my mother

Things have changed, people don’t care
Married or single, there’s *** in the air

No more vows or my one and only
Jump into any arms because you’re feeling lonely

Where is the love between two unshattered hearts?
Have we all lost our soul, or has the world’s values fallen apart?

I need to run, I need to hide
I’ll take a train, or a bumpy bus ride

A plane would get me further away from my life
A one-way ticket sounds about right

There’s nothing left here for me
Far away is where I want to be

Let me go free and spread my wings
To see what the next chapter of my life will bring

Every day is a blessing
It is not guaranteed
Enjoy every minute
Embrace every breeze

Give thanks for what you have
Don’t complain over what you do not
It can all be taken in a moment
Appreciate what you’ve got

Don’t get involved with a married man
It’s nothing but trouble
I know this firsthand

They will take your heart
And squeeze it dry
Silence every last beat
And leave you to die

He says you’re the best
Isn’t this fun?
Then goes home to his wife
How was your day hon?

A liar and a cheat
Not true to either one
Does he really think we’re all having fun?

Who has it worst?
Me or her
I get 30 minutes
She gets the fur

I woke up today
And wondered why
I’m still alive
I did not die

I can’t move my body
Or turn my head
I’m stuck here rotting in my bed

I’ve been a prisoner for many years
I’m all cried out, done shedding tears

This is no life
Don’t they know?
They say they love me
Please help me go

Anger
Jealousy
Resentment
Hate

These will surely destroy us if we let them

Forgiveness
Happiness
Gratitude
Love

These will surely save us if we let them

Choose to live, live to be saved…

Not to be destroyed by things we cannot control
But find a way to once again be whole

Does anyone care what happens to me?
It surely doesn’t seem to be
I’ve opened my heart
Given my love
Only to be thrown away
Like a ***** old glove

Am I invisible?
Does anyone care?
Would they take notice?
If I colored my hair

I’m just another face in the crowd
Tears swelling up
My brain screaming loud

Does any of this matter
Waking up every day?
I’m ready to leave
God take me away

He told me he loved me so many times before
Yet I’m always left with tears staining the floor

What do I believe, what can I trust
How many more chances before my heart busts

The knife has hit many times before
Blood dripping from the back of the door

The door you slammed, right in my face
I cannot continue this cat and mouse chase

Every time you left
You took a piece of my heart
Do I take a chance again, or make a new start?

Don’t run off, I don’t want to scare you away
I’m sure you’ll have fun if you come out to play

My tongue is deadly
It’s a very strong tool
It’ll take over your body
You’ll be mine to rule

I’ll warn you once
My powers are wicked
Pleasures are many
You’ll soon be addicted

So are you ready for the time of your life
No need to worry, I won’t tell your wife

The sun is rising
Above the clouds
Slowly it comes
Waking up the crowds

What would we do
Without its magical light
The world would be dark
No sparkling daylight

I can’t imagine a world without sun
I don’t believe I’m the only one
The winter comes and gray covers the sky
Enough to make me break down and cry

I need the sun
Like the air I breathe
It’s one of the things both my mind and body needs

Depressing is a day
Without the sun
Everything is black
Dark and glum

I will praise the sun
In all its glory
Appreciate its beauty
And end this story
