Single, lonely, independent
You’re always on your own
You say you’re used to it
You say you don’t mind
But we both know you do
So just let me love you

Once, you were young and in love
Had a high school lover affair
You had your heart broken
You never opened up again
You became so blue
And wouldn’t let anyone love you

**** boy, man *****
One night stands became frequent
You gained a reputation
You had women falling at your feet
But you weren’t ready to be true
Or to let anyone love you

A girl came by one day
The first to make you feel anything at all
You fell for her hard
You thought you loved her
But she broke your heart too
And you thought no one would love you

Talking to you became addicting
We began to know each other more
You shared with me your stories
You gave me your trust
But you became uncomfortable with what I knew
It was too much for you - for me to love you

Staying friends was awkward
I still wanted you, and hoped you wanted me too
But I distanced myself
And I gave you your space
I was one of the few
Who ever tried to love you

I only know the songs I love the most,
they can tell what life can be like,
not me, not making a living by living it.

I'll never write lines as good as those,
not saying better what's on my mind
or singing like it's worth it a listening.

Seldom other needs can juxtapose,
by any means I can't say much sometime,
but music finds me telling everything

for me, to me, for their soulful notes
whatsoever chord they could strike
the right ones in time will be moving me
magically...

This is a window on the world,
Written by a once time girl,
Guidelines for chicks and men,
A new set of commandments,
Take these for what they're meant,
Be yourself, all chicks and dudes,
Let it all go, we learn in life's long school,
Act the way you want to feel,
You can pretend smiles, which are real,
Do it now, procrastinate later,
Ignore distractions, they're to bait ya!
Lighten up, think of funnies,
Do stuff, even if you don't need money,
Be polite, stay in touch, friends old and new,
Be kind, not exploited, all of you,
Less is more of things to do......
New commandments from me to you!
