There is no reason,
I can't know why.
When we try to comprehend, our dreams just pass us by
I'm just tired, I'm too old
Flip through pages to find clarity:

Nothings ever meant to be.

I know I lack conviction
I've got too much pride
To admit the way to win this game
is to never know your side

Hello old friend,

Do you see me?

I can't see me anymore
can't feel me anymore

I remember summer nights and drunken fights
with those who took their lives
and in my dreams we've talked again
like I'm talking here with you

I've heard the sound of death before,
its imprinted in my soul
though many a shrink has told me
moving forward makes us whole.
But I've seen death before
heard him knocking at my door
and I've lost both friends and enemies
to his voice that haunts my dreams.

Maybe this imprint is a reminder
An echo of a life.
The pain that I hold onto
to keep memories alive.
I pray on my final day
my mind can find its peace
and let go of this sound I know
before letting go of me.

I'll let go of the sound I know.
Before letting go of me.

hello my lovely lady
know i'm missing you tonight
I know its getting harder
holding to a hope we will get through
maybe one day you'll see me
exactly as I see you

Praying we can move forward
forgetting all the ifs and whens
I can't fight against a feeling
I can't force old wounds to mend
Please hold this door open
even if its just a crack
just give me one more chance
a chance to get you back

I know you're feeling lonely
I know I'm not always there
but you know if I could change anything
in a heartbeat I'd be there

everything happens for a reason
every word I've ever said to you is true
I've made promises I don't intend on breaking
one of them is loving you
I'll hold on to you forever if you let me
but if you must, I'll let you go
sometimes you have to go at it alone
giving yourself a chance to grow

But I've made promises I don't intend on breaking
one of them is loving you
I'll stand by your side if you let me
And I promise I'll never give up on you

I've made promises I don't intend on breaking
one of them is loving you

Don't try to tempt fate
you can't push for whats not there
Here I stand alone
but I'm not in despair
always learn
always grow

Its a shame to see
not all can keep up with the show
privlege makes you weak
take it all away
start from square one
and build everyday

look down at your creation
that is all your own
stand tall
stand with pride
what you have is yours

yours alone

no one else can lay claim
to what you've become

close your eyes
breathe out and relax
everything is going to be ok
find your happy place
your special song
a favorite memory
to keep you warm at night

who am I?
do I stand strong?
alone, I've realized
exactly what it is I can do
I can do anything
I can reach out and I can fly

Close your eyes
breathe out and relax
nothing is lost if  I'm not with you
life goes on and so must I
breathe out, relax
and say your goodbyes

I tripped
really I slipped
into this place
looked up and saw your face
saw you standing there
looking at me
realizing I've forgot to breathe.
now gasping for air

a smirk, then a grin
one glance and I was in
you moving towards me from across the hall
I can't believe you've noticed me at all.

a touch and a spark
everything else melts apart.
this time I'm gonna get it right
this time I have to get it right

lookin into your brown eyes I can live forever
Nothing will ever be the same
no, I don't want it to be
I want to savor every moment
every touch
every breath, between you and me


this time I'm gonna get it right
this time I have to get it right.

Its something as simple as saying hello
But it stirs so many feelings I need you to know
When it came to us I never saw an end
Till you rubbed it in my face
And made me feel our love was just pretend
We fell apart, you made sure of that
Betrayed my trust, there's no looking back
I wish just once, you'd admit you were wrong.
In pulling my heartstrings for so long.
Time has passed, and to put it simply you're gone.
A nostalga thats tainted by the hurt that you left so strong
And now that I've met someone else
This is the time you choose to try and reinsert yourself
Its the simplicity of you saying hello
That reminds me how I told you I'd never let you go
But I have.
You forced my hand
I know in my heart we'll never be together again
But I'm happy. And its not with you.
This newfound love holds me together like glue
So please give back the last piece of my heart
Then step back gracefully so I can be free
So never again I have to think of you and me.

Listen.
Close your eyes
Know sometimes beauty is more than a sunrise
We fit together
You've reeled me in
Reminding me what it is to love again
Not only to love, but to be loved in return
So easy, simple, and clear as day
I wonder how many others have the privelage
Of feeling this way
Close your eyes and feel me there
Know I'm nestled in your heart
And I dont plan on going anywhere
Me, your missing piece
You, my salvation
