Thank God For Last Night
Ronnie Smith Oct 2011
Before I met you I was just a broken heart and a damaged soul
The one before you stole my heart shortly after I stole hers
But now she's moved on to someone new and I was left on the outside
I used to walk around with the sorrow outweighing my happiness
The night I met you I had gone out to clear my mind
Ready to leave, you introduced yourself to me
Instantly we hit it off and you made me forget all about my hurt
I know I've only known you for a day, but I could see me having you around for longer
So I thank you for the happiness and thank god for last night

Ms. Beautiful
Ronnie Smith Oct 2011
Lonely nights, lonely nights I’m sick and tired of em
A broken soul left alone just to wallow in
I need someone to rescue me from this painful life
Someone I can depend on anytime, day and night
I used to walk the streets and see all of the happy people
Should I be in pain or just down right lonely? The lesser of two evils
The heartache I’ve felt in my life taught me to never trust another soul
Until I see her walking, she’s so beautiful
Usually I just let em walk right on by
Is it cause I’ve got nothing to give or cause I’m stupid shy?
In my mind I knew if I let her go then someone else might not let her go
I’ve got some words for her, this is what I let her know


(Chorus)
No I don’t know your name
I think ill just call you Ms. Beautiful
Thanks for saving me from the usual
I think ill just call you Ms. Beautiful
I think ill just call you Ms. Beautiful

Yea verse two; verse two is about the happy times
No more late night pity sessions, always crying
Now that I found you, you the best thing I’ve ever had
I promise ill do whatever it takes to make you happy, never mad
And I tell you that you perfect even thought you tell me that you not
And everyday ill make you feel beautiful just incase you forgot
Million lotto, feelin like I hit the jackpot
If love was the sport then baby you can be my mascot
******* the outside but baby you hit me in my soft spot
Told my friends to ahead and leave me behind, just me and my girl tonight
Now I don’t feel left behind, I’m feeling just right
She told me “never let me go, hold tight”
I told her we’d always be together like the moon in the night

Talking To Myself
Ronnie Smith Oct 2011
As my whole world comes crashing down on top of me
I wonder if anyone will come and rescue me
I’m falling to pieces with no one to put me back together
So I try to spill my feeling out like a newly written love letter
But I swear I got nobody to read it
I walk around the world feeling so alone
Wonder where my so-called friends have gone
My dad once told me never let them see you cry
Now my heart slowly turns into stone
And now I catch myself waiting for these feeling to die
Trapped inside my own mind, venture deep into the unknown
Talking to the moon so beautifully in the sky
Trying to find someone listing, but even it won’t

(Chorus)
So what do you do when no one has the time for you?
What do you do when everyone’s ears are shut?
And you’re stuck in the same rut?
All of the sudden I’m losing all of my friends
So I just end up talking to myself, talking to myself

I find myself emotionally standing at a cliff
I’ve got two options either jump or take a step back
I find myself changing as my heart turns pitch black
I’m losing myself; I know I’m on the wrong track
Hoping I can relieve my stress and pain soon
So now its **** the world, I’d rather be on the moon
Feel my loved ones no longer wanna stay
But how can they be close when I’m the one pushing them away?

Just Want It All
Ronnie Smith Oct 2011
The woman of my dreams just told me she’s in love with another man
And I’ll try to stay strong for just as long as I can
And it makes sense to me if I never talk to you again
Because if I don’t know what your doing then ill never have the is pain
But the downside of that is I might just lose you as a friend
And seems you always busy for me, but you got just enough time for him
I guess the chances for me and you are slowly starting to slim
And the light on our love is fading out to dim
That’s only one of the problems that I have in this world
All the others don’t seems to involve any girls
I try to speak out, but I can’t get out the words
I feel like hiding a hole and I know no one would come find me
Because no one would mind if I was here or there
No one would notice or even care

(Chorus)

I just want it all, I-I-I just want it all
Life is a game, lets go ahead and ball
I just want it all, I-I-I just want it all
I just want it all, I-I-I just want it all
Life is a game, lets go ahead and ball


I’m out here running, chasing my dreams
Life works against me, like we play on different teams
And I guess life ain’t as easy as it seems
I always wonder why people get everything they want
While I’m struggling out here to try to make it to their spot
God makes it ******* me, what did I do?
They always tellin me that god is walking with you
But I know god ain’t here, he ain’t never been in my shoes
I feel like giving up my faith every time that I lose
All the money in the world can’t buy you a friend
And all the friends in the world can’t get you love
My mind racing sometimes I stay up all night
Wish life had a reset button, I’d start over and do it right
Ronnie Smith Oct 2011
I used to believe in people like you until I found out you’re all fake
Said you loved me, but instead lead me to heart break
I never did anything to catch your attention, but you still fell for me without even a mention
So as months went by and our bond got stronger I never felt alone any longer
Because I thought I had your heart, but you didn’t know you had mine
So I pretended like you never got to me pretended like I was fine
I used to get excited in the morning to wake up and see your pretty face
But I was too scared to admit it and that was something I’d never say
One day I found out you were playing me behind my back anyways
Talking and meeting up with other guys and lying to my face
Told me I was at the one you really wanted, I was in first place
Until you met another guy and I guess I was dropped out of the race
I went months without seeing your beautiful face
I told you I missed you and you said I’d be ok
I guess now we go back to being friends, even thought its not working out
Because everyday I sit hope that you’d be coming back
I woke up one day and decided to send you a text
Asking if you still liked me and you said, “I guess”
But you recently started talking to your ex
You said he makes you really happy and that just hurt me in the chest
Because I know that that was end of me and you
I would never wish you harm only all the best
But unfortunately I used to believe in people like you

(Chorus)
Unfortunately I used to believe in people like you
And unfortunately I still need people like you
Unfortunately I used to believe in people like you
And unfortunately I still need people like you

(Verse 2)
Unfortunately I used to believe in people like you
Until you lead me on and beat my heart, black and blue
I used to be high off of your love until I came crashing down
But now I just bury my head whenever you’re not around
I feel like a king without a crown, or the radio without sound
I try to walk around like you don’t matter to me anymore
Until I see your face and then I’m going to war
With my heart telling me I still want you and my brain with another story
No fairy tale ending, this is not a perfect world
Why do I seem to always fall your type of girl?
The ones that use you and just left you all ****** broken
Sitting there and I’m just prayin and hopin
That I’m not alone and an angel will catch while I’m floatin
But for now I just keep fallin deeper in your soul
And walk down memory lane, ya I think ill take a stroll
And hopefully I can put these pieces of my heart back together as a whole
I cant figure it out, I just don’t know how to do it, and I can never piece it back together if you hang on to the blueprint

Outside Looking In
Ronnie Smith Oct 2011
Outside Looking In

Lets see, lets see, where do I begin?
Ill start by telling you the story of outside looking in
This beautiful little lady used to treat me like a king
Never really dated, it was more like a fling
I was past the façade I wanted the real thing
But unfortunately being two different cultures squandered our dreams
Fast forward a few months and yesterday you told me you got a new man
Told me you were scared to tell me because you didn’t know what I’d do, ****
Played it cool and said I was happy for you
On the inside though I was drowning in my emotional pool
You tried to carry on the conversation, but I just couldn’t text you
Knowing that you’re in love with another dude
I know I’m getting tripped up over something that never was
But you know they say you can’t help whom you love
I know I’m letting my emotions run deep
Little did you know every night I used to cry myself to sleep
I ain’t too proud to admit that, it was exactly what I need
And now my reality turned into the way I used to see it
You being happy with someone who isn’t me
Now I’m on the outside looking in
At you and your new boyfriend
And it kills me because I know I could love you more that him
I shut myself off from the world, just resting in my bed
This is a true story that I wish I never read
And I don’t wanna say that I wish we never met
But at one point that’s exactly how I felt
This really happened to my last night. This was the only way I know to help me get over it

— The End —
