Wha???
A schizophrenic you will be a friend not there once said to me convinced we were that he was right until I changed my mind.

A Road Less Travelled
I need a road less travelled
A book that’s been seldom read
A river not crossed too often
White sheets on a brand new bed

There’s a past in every heart
Memories and pain
And scars of the soul
And sorrow unexplained

The journey ahead will be strange and unknown
But the love that we carry will be smooth as a stone

So turn your head to me babe
And smile that winning smile
I’m never gonna let you fall girl
We’re doing this in style
I’d be the first to tell them that
It hasn’t been a breeze
But I’ve never been so sure of the love you show to me.

(I want your hand in mine as our eyes see the new
Your arms round my waist holding on like you do

So turn your head to me babe
And smile that winning smile
I’m never gonna let you fall girl
We’re doing this in style
I’d be the first to tell them that
It hasn’t been a breeze
But I’ve never been so sure of the love you show to me.

A Kiss
‘Sometimes, someone kisses you in such a way as could save your life.
Only sometimes though.
Not nearly often enough.
But sometimes, sometimes is all you need’

8 Minutes
8 minutes is how long the warmth of her takes to reach us
8 minutes to stop us dying in a frozen hell
She doesn’t know or care
She won’t always be there
And without her, we’d be gone too
But the chase for her goes on and on

You are 8 minutes from me know
8 minutes it would take me to be at your side
But you don’t know or care
So I’m here alone
And cold

8 minutes from the warmth I need
A 1000 nights from the sleep I need
A lifetime away from the love I need

Shooting Star
‘Sitting on a shooting star as it dies away.
The passion was  too hot, could help but burn it out.
Left cold and alone
And there’s nothing I can say
Gotta face the emptiness ahead
And make it thru the day’

She’s all that I desire
All I’ll ever need
But I held her tighter than I should
If there’s a way back
Lord won’t you show me how
Cos I’ve killed our love
And killed myself
What’s left for me now

If she reached out her heart and let me in
I’d show her who I am
A scared and lonely, frightened boy
Just trying to be a man

All I have, she’s given me
My soul she saved, enlightened me.
The heart I thought was lost for good
She somehow brought to life
She’s loved me more than I deserved
Pulled me out of night.

Last Night
Last night
The last night of me and you
Tomorrow, you’ll walk away to something else
How could we know
The way this was bound to go?
Last night
The last night of me and you

It’s done now,
The story book comes to a close
It’s over, the fairytale we’ll never know
It wasn’t meant to end this way
But nothing I could do
Could make you stay
It’s done now
The story book comes to a close

I fell so easily
You’re not to blame
But now it’s so hard for me
To hear you say

So long,
Wish me luck and happiness
Cos I need to know you wish me nothing less.
But I’ll be the one
Whose love will go on.
So long
Wish me luck and happiness.
I know you do.

It’s done now.
The story book comes to a close.
The fairytale we’ll never know.

Heartache
"Heartbreak isn’t beautiful. It isn’t ******* poetry, it’s not staying up ‘til 4 am listening to sad songs. It’s breaking down in the middle of a busy street. It’s seeing their face in all the people you pass by. It’s feeling okay for weeks at a time and then all of a sudden, you feel the ghost of their lips on your neck and their nails on your back and then you’re choking on memories of their presence. It’s waking up from dreams of them coming back and screaming in the middle of the night because your chest aches like a rotting tooth. Stop romanticizing pain. Stop using people like they’re objects. A heart isn’t a cigarette - you can’t just light it up and then stomp it out when you’re done. Don’t act like anything about heartbreak is beautiful, because I wouldn’t wish that feeling upon my worst of enemies."
Sit yourself down and listen awhile
You really got no place to go
But the look in your eyes says
‘Hold out your hand’
So let’s buy a ticket
It’ll be some kinda show

I danced with the jugglers
I ran on the wire
You watched, and you saw me fall
In the blink of an eye, you jumped to your feet
Then the lights went out
And they saw nothing at all

I dazzled the crowd
I took the applause
Then I wiped off the greasepaint
And reapplied yours
I watched from the sidelines as you took your bow
I gave you my world
But hey, won’t you look at me now?

I’ve danced for the last time
It’s all over now
But don’t you dare shead a tear
My time in the spotlight was short but ‘My God’
I burned like a fire
And survived it somehow

I dazzled the crowd
I took the applause
Then I wiped off the greasepaint
And reapplied yours
I watched from the sidelines as you took your bow
I gave you my world
But hey, won’t you look at me now

So here we are at the end of the show
The light come down one last time
The costumes and make up
Are safe in the trunk
I’ll hitch up the horses
And you can be on your way

I dazzled the crowd
I took the applause
Then I wiped off the greasepaint
And reapplied yours
I watched from the sidelines as you took your bow
I gave you my world
But hey, won’t you look at me now

Before We Met
Before we met
I lived my life, without the love that I should have known
Before we met
I threw away my time
Left far too many seeds unsown
Their was an ache I couldn’t deny
A space in my heart
I never tried to fill

Before we met
I wasted days thru wasted nights
Before we met
I searched in the dark
Before you became my light
I gave away the parts of me
That you somehow have retrieved
And now I stand up straight
Reassembled and complete

Before we met
I knew we’d love
I knew my heart would find it’s peace
I knew my soul would be released
I felt your arms, your touch, your breath.
I lay with you and gave my love
The love I saved
In a room in my heart.
The room that only you would know.
I kept it clean, and pure, you see
The better part of the ‘other me’.
I’ve waited alone in that room
For an eternity.
You were just outside the door.
And I felt you.
Forever,
before we met.

Another Shot of Love
I’ve crossed the world a dozen times
By wing and wheel and wave
I’ve woken up in strange girl’s beds
Fallen asleep in caves

I’ve sung my songs in brothels
And watched rich men leaving poor
I’ve taken virtue in my home town
And I’ve taken it in your’s

Only that you came
But in every place I get to
Whether from below or above
I’ll ask the barman
‘Kindly sir’
For another shot
Another shot of love
Give me one more chance at love
Before my time has passed
I still believe she’ll come along
‘No need to wash my glass’
And if I end my time alone
And this guitar’s all I got
I’ll still be thankful for the life it gave
And for another shot

Only that you came
But in every place I get to
Whether from below or above
I’ll ask the barman
‘Kindly sir’
For another shot
Another shot of love

A Special Kind Of Fool
So here I stand
Breaking all the rules
The master of his plans
A special kind of fool.

I held her in my arms
And watched her love grow cool
My heart was safe from harm
A special kind of fool

I could have kept it to myself
And never brought her tears
I should have realised
That I’d throw away those years

The years we could have spent
In love not self regret
Just her and me with only us
But I went and lost the bet

Letting Go
At 2.22
I said goodbye to you.
I took one last, longing look
And closed down the book
You said goodbye and meant it
And i just sat and cried
'I'd taken your love and bent it
Till u had nothing left inside.'
So I'm
I'm Letting go of my dream
I'm Letting go of my life
I'm Letting go of the one thing
I shoulda held on to with all my might
I'm letting go
My angel
I'm letting go.
I'd waited an age
For you to turn the page
And when you finally held me
It was love for all to see
But bitterness and silence
Turned passion into pain
And stubborn assed defiance
Means we'll never love again
So I'm
I'm Letting go of my dream
I'm Letting go of my life
I'm Letting go of the one thing
I shoulda held on to with all my might
I'm letting go
My angel I'm letting go.
And the thought of you in someone's arms
Is tearing me apart
It's only you that I can see
So what do I tell my heart?
When my heart asks me
'Why?'
Nov 2020 · 52
It’s You
It's your smile
It's your eyes
It's your laugh
It's your cry
It's your touch
It's your breath
It's not knowing why
It's your past
It's your now
It's your flesh
It's your faith
It's your hand on my hand
When I'm all over the place
It's that look that you do
That makes me laugh like a loon
It's you pulling me back
When I'm peaking too soon
It’s the way that you know
That I can't let you go
And whatever it takes
If it takes all I do
It's the love in my heart
Tells me,
It's you.

'And in growing up, I began to be more childlike,
Saw things thru more innocent eyes
My earlier cynisism dissolved away
And then love happened,
Much to my surprise'

Spring Embraces Autumn
Springtime often turns up late
If she ever comes at all
Sometimes she warms the autumn chill
As leaves begin to fall

Her new embrace will take the place
Of summers spent in vain
And bring to life an ancient heart
And kiss away the pain

So lay awhile and let me see
What springtime has in store for me.

This autumn soul was weary
When you first embraced his arm
Too many summers burnt away
Had left life without charm

You looked on him with tenderness
In innocence and grace
And taught him things so long forgot
And hurt you have replaced

So lay awhile and you will see
Our season’s love was meant to be

And as the years go by
And other seasons die
This love we found will always be
It will not falter  

When winters cooling hand is near
And warmth is hard to find
I’ll turn to you, a summer new
And leave the world behind

So lay awhile and hold me near
And cast away your doubt and fear


And as the years go by
And other seasons die
This love we found will always be
It will not falter

The fire in her eyes
She lives by the seaside
It’s good for her smile
She swims in the ocean
And walks for a mile.

She’s into her jazz and
Tequila and lime
She talks like a lady
She could have been mine

But, she’s got her thing
And I’ve got the other
So we sit and we chat just like
Sister and brother
And deep in her eyes there’s a fire
And I’ve got my stuff
But she’s got a small place
So we, sit and we chat
And I think about about her face
And deep in her eyes, there’s a fire

She’s not big on romance
It just leaves her cold
She’s been hurt too often
Or so I’ve been told.

But she’s witty and pleasant
And when she comes around
The boys all flock round her
To take her to town

And she’s got her life
And I’ve got mine
A few years between us but ‘hey, that’s just time’
And deep in her eyes there’s a fire
I’ve got the road and she’s got the sea
And we’ve traveled our paths but separately
And deep in her eyes there’s a fire

Then one day I noticed
A tear in her eye
She said she was leaving
I didn’t ask why.

I knew something drive her
I thought it was me
Then I saw a small letter
She’s left carefully
It said ‘Darling I love you, and that’s why I’m gone.
It’s taken me over  
And I can’t go on.
You see, you are the fire in my eyes’

I cried for a long time
Once more the fool
It was right there before me
And I know that you say that,
I should have chased her
And begged her to stay
I know the reason
That she went away.
Deep in her eyes there’s a fire
Deep in her eyes there’s a fire.

Tolerated
The shadows of the railing
By the room I played last night. 
The whistle of a siren
And the blood of a lost fight.
And the closed sign on the food store 
Broken window, crack of light
And the hurt that won't subside
won't u let me look inside?
And the 'do me' look from a burnt out *****
And the words that split my side. 
Everything makes sense somehow
It's all that I expect 
The tears I knew I'd always shed 
The freight train singing in my head.
The rocks that turned a stranded heart 
Into a sunken, flooded wreck. 
Yet,
All of this is somewhat new, 
Baby I never thought this would come from u, 
Ur soul was clean and pure and.....
Jesus Christ am I so lame 
That it snuck right up on me? 
I who's every move was honed and practised, 
1 and 2 and ******* 63 !
Oh here's the rub, the wake up call. 
I never knew that dame at all, 
She let me think she needed love
And I gave up my past, and then my love.
And when her need of me was done
And some other shmoe became the one
The line was cut, connection frayed
Her single, final, veil displayed,
she naked, danced into the shade 
So I could fall, into the sun 
Not laughed at, 
But........ 
Tolerated, 
tolerated
Tolerated........
By everyone.

She Made Me Smile
'
She's back from somewhere
I ain't gonna ask the place
Cos it's non of my beeswax 
It ain't left no marks on her sweet face
It's like time stood still from the day we met
She's older, wiser maybe and yet
Tho I know I've ripped the heart right out of me and carved these lines for all to see
She can still see the soul in me
That I haven't had chance to get to yet.
She could save me with a word if she had a mind to 
She could turn it all around If her heart was set on me
I dare not ask
Or even pray.
All I know Is that today 
She made me smile
She made me smile 
She made me smile.
May 2017 · 194
Baby
Another dawn and I'm alone
Last night is a world away
But my smile remains
And gone is the pain
With one word that I heard you say.
'Baby'

I Feel You
I feel you baby, 
Fingers so light
In the darkest night.
I hear you baby
Breathing my name
It'll never sound the same.
I hold you baby,
Flesh on flesh
And palms that press.
I love you baby
From inside of me
You word set me free.

Holding My Breath For You
HOLDING MY BREATH FOR YOU.

Time’s not on my side
It’s running away like a thief in the night
But the warmth of your touch
And the smile in your eyes
Is telling me that I should stand and fight

I’m battered and bruised
And sometimes I’ll lose
And I surely will hit the ground
But if you’re there at my side
And you don’t count me out
I’m willing to go one more round

I’m holding my breath for you
I trust in my heart
Cos it keeps running to you
I won’t let you fall
If you give me your all
Come on save me, and I’ll save you right back

I’m holding my breath
Holding my breath
Holding my breath for you
I’m holding my breath
Holding my breath
Holding my breath for you

So much wisdom and so much grace
Too much hurt for one small face
Too many lessons in too short a time
So much love that just wasn’t mine


Minutes to hours and days into years
It’s taken so long but you’re finally here
People will wonder just where can he be
And when they ask you just tell them he’s holding his breath

I’m holding my breath for you
I trust in my heart
Cos it keeps running to you
I won’t let you fall
If you give me your all
Come on save me, and I’ll save you right back

I’m holding my breath
Holding my breath
Holding my breath for you
I’m holding my breath
Holding my breath
Holding my breath for you

It's You
'It's you'
It's your smile 
It's your eyes
It's your laugh
It's your cry
It's your touch
It's your breath
It's not knowing why
It's your past
It's your now
It's your flesh
It's your faith
It's your hand on my hand
When I'm all over the place 
It's that look that you do
That make me laugh like a loon
It's you pulling me back
When I'm peaking too soon
I't's the way that you know
That I can't let you go
And whatever it takes
If it takes all I do
It's the love in my heart
Tells me,
No matter how we've spent the past
Something holds us together fast
And tho the years have come and gone
this thing in us has lingered on
To fight it would be wrong to do
Cos baby, baby
My sweet baby
it's you x

The Different Love
I've let it happen
I chose the path
I'll call the tune
In the aftermath
I can't deny
This love that she brings
I'll just write the music 
To the song she sings
Ain't gonna write another sad song
Cos I'm safe in her arms
Where I belong
I'm not gonna pick another pen up and cry
Cos she's become my reason,that's the reason why
I ain't gonna write another sad, sad song
She smiles and I am lost inside her eyes and her heart
If she cried I'd feel like I was slowly falling apart
Every day she's new and I just can't get enough
I'm wrapped around her, I have found the different love
I ain't gonna write another sad song
Cos I'm safe in her arms,
Where I belong
I'm not gonna pick another pen up and cry
Cos she's become my reason,that's the reason why
I ain't gonna write another sad, sad song.
And if it takes my life 
I'll give my life
And gladly lay down arms for her
cos she's my knife 
She cuts thru all the sadness 
And makes me live
This different love, this deeper love
And the past she forgives.

On Days Like These
'On days like these'
In midwinter's chill and snow
I've a warm safe place that I can go
When ice and wind try to do me in
I can say your name and you'll let me in.
To
A room that's full of orange glow 
A room that only we can know
But it's made for us and filled with love
And no one gets in 
Cos no one else should
You're there inside
Hand outstretched 
And you cling so tight
I forget the rest
So I close my eyes 
On days like these 
When I'm cold to the soul
Alone on my knees
And your back in my arms 
safe from harm
And our love lives forever
On days like these.

The Future
My future's there
Shining in your eyes
Looking back at me
You took me by surprise
I've held u in my heart 
Since the night you touched my hand
I've watched you walk away and leave
But now in front of me you stand
You know I'm yours
Whatever comes
Every piece of me defined by you
Nothing to take your hand from mine
The tears are gone, replaced by smiles
And a soul that's one ,can't be split in two.
It started long ago
And waited for its chance
This love we've kept, 
hidden,
frightened,
and out of sight
It's time to let it dance
May 2017 · 155
Could you?
Could you save me?
Would you care?
Is it asking to much
That you could be there?
Is this one more heartbreak
I'll endure?
Will I give in and cry ' please, no more'?
Or will you stay when I close my door?
May 2017 · 141
My Arms
'If u were not in my arms
Each day would be 
Everything you would never wish a day to be. 
If could not look into your eyes as every nighttime falls
Every night would feel like the endless dark of the deserted hallway
In my nightmare of losing you '

Our Love
Tho years have passed since that very 1st glance
And sometimes it felt like we'd never get to dance
Our hearts somehow knew 
We had more to share
Our love is true and its hanging on in there. 
Baby here it is,
What we waited for
The love of our lives
Has opened all the doors
Here we are 
At the start of it all
It's meant to be this love we found 
And it's hanging on 
Hanging on 
Hanging in on in there'

How To Grow Roses
How to grow roses
Let me be frank from the outset
I know nothing about roses
Further more, I despise gardening
But..
If we start from the premise that to pre suppose only a gardener could grow as rose 
Then by the same token
Only a musician could make music. 
A fact overthrown by a child's laugh.
And only a bath maker could run a bath then only u could put a smile on the mouth of a river.

Tech
Technology's great, and I use it everyday
But I still like to compose my prose
The old fashioned way
A piece of paper, my heart, pen and ink
Cos tho paper may burn. it'll never crash
No matter what the folk at apple might make you ........... Oh ****!

He was 15 when it broke out and he stood on the shore 
Signed up with the navy and sailed off to war
8 months went by then they found out his age
'Too young ' said the captain 'to take a sailors wage'
Dropped off in a strange land he bided his time
Till his 16th arrived and he could rejoin the line. 
With his best friend and his brother 
They stood in ua trench
Near a town called passion dale
Breathing death's dreadful stench.
Over they went into deafening hell.
Brother and friend he lost as they fell.
The last one alive as he reached German lines
The enemy guns fell silent As tears filled their eyes
'Go back tommy'
'Turn round and go home'
'This slaughter must end for shame for shame'
'There's no German bullets that will carry your name.'
Grandad turned and walked back alone
ACross no man's land across blood across bone.
I was just a boy and He hardly spoke of war to me
'it's nothing i'd like your young eyes to see'
But he cried when he told me 
about when the barrage was done 
That He heard One lonely skylark sing a 
song of hope 
as it flew over the Somme.

3 boats
3 boats
3 boats, sail up OUR river. 
We ignite some gunpowder
Everyone turns up to cheer.
Lights and people spark up as one
They sail away
The event is done.
Proud we are, of floating bits of steel
Even tho one is usually a cafe
In America
, for the turners of the wheel.
So wave ur flags, and toast the rich 
Whose table you'll never share.
And believe the lie,
It's all for us
Just don't try to get in there. 
Cos we're the ones who build
The dreams the small percentage live
Our table maybe bare, but our friendship's full.
It's the brotherhood we alone can give.,
Float on float on. 
See you soon.

Bed
Bed
Like a slow motion suicide,
Suspended in alcohol
With something of the night about me
I've got the sadness of an exile. 
I wear the cloak of solitude 
Buttoned up to my chin
No one gets out of love alive 
So no one's getting in.
A carved out heart
In oak and weeping willow
And next to me, in a too large bed
Will be no other slumbering soul
A laying on the pillow.

The Night Of The Blood Moon
It was the night of the blood moon
Faces all looked skyward
Nothing after this night 
would ever be the same
It was the night of the blood moon
Heartache was the byword
Loving after this night
Would never feel the same
She'd split and left him broken,
Bleeding on the floor
He'd begged for mercy time again
begged until his throat was sore. 
It was the night of the blood moon
Cold and crisp and clear
Like the 13th bottle of cheap tasteless 
**** 
That they try to pass as beer.
It was the night of the blood moon
He's howling for her now
But she don't care
She's made her plan 
His love won't touch her anyhow.

Fool
When you've double crossed your own heart
When it's only your hand that tore your soul apart
How can you ask for sympathy?
How could the world agree?
When my own worst enemy is the face in the mirror that's
Screaming back at me.
There's no fool like an old fool 
Except for the fool who never seems
To learn
That to take true love for granted
Is to watch your future burn.
So light a cigarette and pull yourself a chair 
And look closely at a man
Lost in dark despair
Let the best love slip so he did
Didn't think to say
'Baby, I'm not looking after you
Please won't you lead the way?'

Another Shot Of Love
I've crossed the world a dozen times
By wing and wheel and wave
I've woken up in strange girl's beds
And fell asleep in caves
I've sung my songs in brothels
I've watched rich men leaving poor
I've taken virtue in my home town
And I've taken it in your's
Ya see 
I'm the lonely troubadour 
You don't need to know my name
You don't need to know just why I leave 
Only that You came
In every place I get to 
Whether from below or from above
I'll ask the barman 'kindly sir '
For another shot of love.
Give me one more chance at love
Before my time has passed 
I still believe she'll come along
No need to wash my glass
And if I end my days alone
And a guitar's all I got
I'll be thankful for the life I led
And for another shot.

Tolerated
The shadows of the railing
By the room I played last night. 
The whistle of a siren
And the blood of a lost fight.
And the closed sign on the food store 
Broken window, crack of light
And the hurt that won't subside
won't u let me look inside?
And the 'do me' look from a burnt out *****
And the words that split my side. 
Everything makes sense somehow
It's all that I expect 
The tears I knew I'd always shed 
The freight train singing in my head.
The rocks that turned a stranded heart 
Into a sunken, flooded wreck. 
Yet,
All of this is somewhat new, 
Baby I never thought this would come from u, 
Ur soul was clean and pure and.....
Jesus Christ am I so lame 
That it snuck right up on me? 
I who's every move was honed and practised, 
1 and 2 and ******* 63 !
Oh here's the rub, the wake up call. 
I never knew that dame at all, 
She let me think she needed love
And I gave up my past, and then my love.
And when her need of me was done
And some other shmoe became the one
The line was cut, connection frayed
Her single, final, vail displayed,
she naked, danced into the shade 
So I could fall, into the sun 
Not laughed at, 
But........ 
Tolerated, 
tolerated
Tolerated........
By everyone.
Thank you. 
I'm here all week. 
Try the soup.
'This love that took it's time'
Minutes to hours
to days to years.
Every time I could be with you
You couldn't find a way 
to get to me,
to get your kiss me
to be here
But now here you are
Nestled on my arm
And I am lying
Like I knew I'd be
Within your gentle palm
It's meant for us
So let it live
This love that took it's time
We've opened the bottle,
And let it breath
It's getting better
Just like wine
There'll be those that shake their head
Those that disagree
They'll make you doubt the strength 
Of this
And pull your heart from me
But if they knew just how I feel
In this aching, beating soul of mine
They'd hang their heads and let us fly
Into this love
This love that took it's time.

Quick ta ta
It's easier if I don't see u. 
We're better off this way 
I don't want to watch u cry
Or hear what you might say
Let me gather up my things
And I'll be on my way
Cos I know that I was wrong
But I won't let you know
I'd rather break your heart again
And watch me as I go
If I swallowed my pride 
You would let me back inside
But I'll just leave your key
And let you fall into the deepest sea.

Home
So many songs we didn't get to sing 
All the words that I needed to say 
But they don't mean a thing. 
Just come home 
Just come home

Ghosts
I don't wanna live with the ghost of your past. 
I don't wanna deal with an old flame that you thought was gonna last
I need to see you 
Like you'd like to be seen
But I can't live with the love that coulda been.
Don't get me wrong
You're all that I desire
There's nothing that I wouldn't do 
To get you flying higher
I'd grab a star and steal the moon
I'd let you burn my soul
But if there's someone that's still half of you
I'm leaving till you're whole

The Cry
'And now. nothing. 
Silence born of bitterness.
Heart beating pointlessly 
Just to keep a man alive.
Mind whirling, straining at the leash
Fingers drumming,
Aching for release
Void and null
An ex kind of life.
Staring at a future
That's balanced on the edge of a knife'

Can I Leave The Train?
Although I stand in the sun, 
My love, I'm so cold.
Although my young eyes still smile, 
I'm old.
Although my heart beats on,
It's broken and aching
And my voice still sings
it's fragile and quaking. 
And I've reached the point 
Of no return
Cos I'm at the place where the fire still burns
I can't bring myself salvation 
Can you leave this train at this station?
Can you leave this train at this station?

A chance
If I had the chance to change the things said and unsaid
I would gladly give my very soul.
For to see the tears I caused and the hurt it's bought 
Has driven me to the edge of death
And a desire to let life slip away. 
No words will change what has pained you.
No apology sincere and heartfelt
Could alter the things that brought us to this place and forced you from my arms. 
But 
I'm truly, overwhelmingly sorry. 
And I will pay the price for all eternity.

Whe A Man Cries
When a man cries
When he can't hold back the tears
When the memory of her smile won't fade 
Tho it's been so many years
And he stumbles thru the day 
Till it changes into night
And he sits alone without his love
And he still tries with all his might
To stop the tears from falling
And give him back the light
She's gone and he can't change it now

Too much
So much wisdom,and so much grace
But so much hurt drawn on one small face
So much learnt in too short time
Too little love given that was not mine.

Car
Car
Sitting in the csr alone, staring at an empty space 
Wondering where did I go wrong 
To cause the anger in ur face
How did love that was so strong 
Turn to bitterness and hate? 
Is it me? 
Is it me? 
Am I so beyond redemption?
Have I ****** my whole life up?
Will I ever find some peace?
