I'm glad that I found you.
Didn't know what I found,
Till I was missing you.

I swore when I cried
I wouldn't fall anymore
Wouldn't wound my pride
Would quit all my try
Because I knew that I'd break
And give up the fight.

I played The game
According to the rules
Or maybe was it cause I thought it was a game
Because my prize was you.

You broke down my wall
Didn't catch when I fall
Because you still played
That stupid little game
Are you happy after-all?

There was many sleepless nights
Where I cried because
I thought it was my fault.
But what I didn't know
Was that I didn't show
I was really hurt.

We were together
Seemed like forever
Because I trusted you
Funny a month
Can feel like a life
Because I took down my guard
Cause I felt so "alive".

You broke down my wall
Didn't catch when I fall
Because you still played
That stupid little game
Are you happy after-all?

Do you remember
Said we be together
And couldn't see us apart
Was that just a lie
To pull down that fly
And have it all?

You thought I was willing
Thought I was thinking
I'd give it to you
But what I gave to you
Was one little thing
It was a stupid little fling
You had my heart.

You broke down my wall
Didn't catch when I fall
Because you still played
That stupid little game
Are you happy after-all?

Now that you're gone
I wrote this little song
So you can hear
What my heart is trying to say
What it's trying to play
"get me out of here".

Lately you've been holding me down like a chain.
Linked to your emotions
And enduring your endless pain.

I put you at number one
And I was still at number three
Hoping for the day
That you'd upgrade me.

False happiness
And settling for the least
You made me give myself to you
Without receiving anything.

I claimed you were my best friend
The one to stand by my side
I introduced you to my family
Cause I thought you'd be there when I cried.

I'm quite tired
And exhausted
Of this on again off again
Be my friend
Cause I don't want to pretend.

One day you'll look at yourself and sigh.
Asking yourself how you became this lonely guy.
How your dreams were so close that you could taste it
But now they're far behind its unlikely you'll chase it.

Where did you become side tracked
Of when you changed your goal.
Got distracted for a minute
You're at a dead end road.
When will you pick it up
And are you strong enough
Give up on your dream that
You thought wasn't tough.

She looked at her self and
Said why oh why
As she breast fed her kid
Who always cried and cried.

How she thought it was cool to
Run around town
Getting picked up by boys
Claiming she's seen them around.

But she never did
as she lied to herself
Each boy she thought was right
But she was only 12.

What does she know of love
Was nothing but lust.
Empty promises and lies
She never kept her head up.

Now her dreams of going to college
Is shattered by a boy
Who told he'd love her
But he only treated her like a toy.

Dreams are like butterflies
That dance in the air
Floating around
To get you to see them
But to also beware.

You got to take care of them
And stay on your course
Don't worry what you should have done
Just think about the force
The force to push your forward
Just go willingly
You'll regret it tomorrow
If you go sparingly.

I can finally say this
I can clearly state this
That you left us high and dry
Shivering naked.

Our youth was robbed
And our lives were changed
The day you decided to
Shove us away.

You were like here I'm done
I don't want this anymore
You should have read the fine print
You just wanted this divorce.

You washed your hands clean
And you were fine with leaving us
All we got were some letters
But you ran us over with a bus.

The lies that you told
And the secrets you hid
We were your own children
We never felt like yours kids.
You made her priority
When you left us for her
Don't you remember our birthdays
Cause it didn't feel like you cared.

It's hard to talk bout you
And the mistakes that you've done
Because its all we have of you
Can't erase
None.

We hold on to what we have
Like dust in the wind
And It comes and go
But we won't know when it ends.

Sometimes we cry cause we miss you
Or we smile cause it happened
Its hard to forget all the bad things
When all you have to hold onto
Are faint memories.

I had a dream bout my dad
I can't remember it now
I know it was good
A dream about my dad
Isn't good isn't bad.

You see I don't remember his voice
I don't remember it at all
So when we talk in my dream
It's like we aint talking at all.

His mouth doesn't move
And his legs don't walk
He walks with me
But he doesn't talk

But With a glance at the eye
I know what he's saying
And I know he said some words
But I can't remember it, nothing

I remember the lights in his eyes
As he looked upon me
Like he was proud
But he didn't say a word to me.

As we drove around the town
He motioned he needed gas
As we did a turn I said
Town changed since you been here
He glanced and said it has.

But as we did the turn
I looked in  his eyes
I said daddy
Can you please hold my hand.
For one last time
He looked like he was
And I'm sure he was about to
But as soon as I blinked
We were in a different dream

The thing was it wasn't a dream
I didn't dream this no
It was a memory.
It was the last time we held hands
I was just a little girl
If i had known it was our last
I would have asked for one more
But  I grabbed his hand
And He held it tight
No matter how old I get
That will always make me cry

i was back in a dream
And He wasn't there
But someone asked where he was
I Looked at the ground and said everywhere.

I came to a conclusion
One that's mighty bright
I decided he's not dead
He's like the holy light.

He's everywhere to me
He is  in  my blood
I'm the air that he breathed
I carry his torch from above

He's the relaxing breath
I breathe
The grooves in my hand
He made them you see
What he made for me
I live everyday for him
Maybe one day in his voice
He'll say he's proud of me
