Forget the greats
The songs the films
I've got myself a woman
I got my old version
I got my younger version
I got my new self
And my old self too
I got so many of me
I've got a woman
Inside and out
I'll never be without
There's a woman
Standing inside me
I'm so lucky because
No matter what
Who why or when
I got me a woman
I get to always have me

Darkest shadow
Brightest flame
Burning passion
Silence, tame

Loving one,
Many times
Broken hearts,
Guiltless crimes

Tears of grief
Shed for him
Sunless ages
Dark and grim

Dawn of hope
Of light again
Wakened life
From silence, then,

Circle closing,
Ending, starting,
Edges meeting,
Brushing, parting

Darkest shadow
Brightest flame
Burning passion
Silence, tame
For all of you who know what heartbreak is like

i took pictures of everything i found pretty and maybe that’s why i had a million photos of you but there was never one of me
I can dream up
A story told time and time
Again,

She waits for somebody else
She's well kept, well dressed
Red dress, red lace caress her arms, sitting with legs crossed across the bar
And this my story to tell
So I say she’s a redhead
And by no means a means to an end
Keeps herself under her own agency

She chooses her sutors or men
I get her because she gets me

A weight less heavy
Each day less deadly
A chase paced more steadily
A waiting for change

Maybe today
I meet that special lady
That pretty Penny
That sense of making
Change more weighty
waiting less
on anybody elses
Heavy chains to break off
When the the day is done
And I get a break

But today
I was late because I overslept
Once again
Overdreamt
And now I never get to meet
This lady made up of the stuff dreams are made of
After hours
Sitting just across the way
Because today I get laid
Off
Hold on to our kiss

So many odes , fill the midnight sky in the form of stars, as many moments passed since I’ve held you that final time.
Hold on to our kiss
Not a more perfect instant have I ever known , expressing our affection without an utterance murmured , yet an intensity of two souls joined at the lips .
Hold on to our kiss
Flowers wither and die , just like unreplenished  memories , first , what it feels like to touch you , then your smile , the places we’ve been , and the places we wanted to go.
I wanted to hold your hand into tomorrow , take a walk into our future together.
But will you hold on to our kiss ?
The scent of your hair , the sound of your voice , I wanted to be yours forever , wash away the memories with the hands of the new ones , and never fear the fading , as long as the beating hearts brush paints us new .
Hold on to our kiss
I can’t let go of something so perfect , molded together and parted to be born , only to find you someday in love.
Like a magnet to steel , the moon on the tide our lips drawn together .
Now , that your gone ,I wonder , did you hold on to our kiss ?
Did you hold on to our kiss ?
Did you hold on to our kiss ?
for every time i look at you i think that you should be broken
what courage you must have to still be trying to make yourself whole
