Even though,

I'm loving life
surrounded by friends
drowning in fame
can't walk in a bar where they don't know my name
they say I have it all
but it just don't feel the same because
even still,  
I miss your kisses in the morning

I know a broken heart
ain't never a good excuse
for what I'm about to do

I’ve been putting one foot in front of the other
wishing I was sober
Or at least that I had you
I don’t wanna feel the way I’ve been feeling
but i'd rather feel nothing
if i can't feel you

So effortlessly...
you took the effort out of me
we went from all smiles,
to once in awhile,
to never again

I tried a new girl in a new town
but it just don't feel the same
I tried some good drugs, I'd never heard of
but I still remembered your name
I saw your silhouette dancing at 3am in my head lights
now I'm going crazy, crazy, crazy
without your love

I'm already the boy who loves you
but still I want you more and more
I guess things don't change
I have a heart of gold
but ill only see you in my dreams

Could you tell me that you hate me
could you tell me that you never felt a thing
before you tell me that it's over
I need you to tell me anything
to break my heart
to tear me down
to get me so mad over you, that I can just leave
before you tell me that it's over
Don't take it easy on me

Maybe I'm holding on to someone
who doesn't think of me anymore
Maybe I'm trying to force something
thats already run it course
Maybe I'm thinking and wishing
for something that's too good to be true
Maybe I should move on and figure out my life without you

when people don't say how they feel
tough regrets, you learn to heal but never forget....no never forget
I'm sorry I couldn't read your mind
why did you wait all this time
why didn't you just say you loved me
you could have saved my heart ache
you could have fixed our mistake
but you walked away, you just walked away
when I needed you there, I guess you got scared
now you say you should have never left  
I know you want me to but how can I take you back

Isn't it funny after all this time
I still sit up at night and think of you
my guitar has heard all about our stories
after all it set the mood in one or two
the one my momma thought I would marry, yes that was you
Sometimes even I wish it was true
but fait gave you another, at a time when you needed something new
now fait has given me time and space at a time when all I need is you

Please just save me
it wouldn't take much
just say yes you will
Please just save me
so the bad times themselves can cry
and the smile on my face will shine
Please just save me
so the loneliness can die

I felt time stop,
as my heart began to swell
I felt a power surge from my core to my fists
a power that would not settle, like the sea in a storm
you ask how could the one I know
spark this feeling from the depths of my soul

I guess you will understand when you've loved someone

I can't hold on anymore
or at least I know I should let go
I hate to, because I love you
it's hard to believe, what I hate to see
and it hurts to say because I don't want it to be
but I know you fell in love without me

I remember, so familiar
cool nights spent together
you and me locked in your room
wishing we could be 17 forever
only knowing each other, so familiar

forever is still rolling
we aren't 17 anymore
I haven't seen your room in quite some time
or you for that matter
and just like that, I'm left behind... so familiar

I'm tired of overthinking
dwelling on bad days and hard times does no good
I just want to be free
Free to love and to feel love
Free to spread joy and feel joy in my heart
Free to dream and share them with you

Sometimes, I think about my life
then I begin to wonder where you might be
even though time has past
I catch myself thinking the same thing

please don't be in love with someone else

It's really good to be here
There are times I thought I wouldn’t be here
There are days they said I wouldn’t see here, but I'm here
Eyes wide open, wheels still rolling
I'm standing here before you saying
It's really good to be here

It's like a never ending cycle
or a bad song stuck on repeat
I wish I could just fast forward or skip a few beats
until the right one comes into my life
the sweet one who don't bite on the pick up lines
someone that's sick of the games
wants more than one date, or one night
someone who believes in love
I just wish I knew who that someone was
why are these good girls so hard to find

Im not saying the next one will make me get down on one knee
but that dont sound that bad to me

I'm Sorry,
I can't help but notice
that your smile is dim and fake
it may fool the others but I can relate
because I remember what it was like
to see a real smile upon your face
before this distance fell between us
and you had me replaced

No I'm not just saying that
it is from my heart, it is true
you have a special look in your eyes
of someone who is real
like everyday you see the world brand new
not everyone has this and it's special, exceptionally on you

As I look out this hotel room window
I realize I'm far from home
far from you
far from familiar things I knew
but none the less, I'm close
because I'm holding my feelings tight
feelings of home
feelings of you
feelings of familiar things I knew

I don't want to see your heart break
I don't want to make a mistake
because I've seen that lonely road to many times before

all I want to do is love you
You're the only one that I ever really knew
it could take another life time, maybe two
to find someone like you

Life is best at a leisurely pace
I find my peace in a comfortable place
on a soft square with room for two
under sheets like waves laid next to you
thinking once in a lifetime it's just right
so I thank my lucky stars for you each night

Just to touch you
just to feel you
to see each other in a dim glow
I want to know you
I want to show you
everything I've got so you can know
that this could be more than an idea
this could be forever two perfect souls

A piece of me has been gone since the day that I lost you
from my heart to heaven
I've been missing you
not a day goes by that you don't cross my mind
I love you forever
until the end of time

I'm dying tonight
but no one is crying

I feel lonely when I think about you
because I know what I'm missing
I feel sorry when I think about me
because I'm a good guy who lost himself
but I still smile when I think about us
because even though it wasn't forever
it made my life better

I hope you won't be haunted by the past
because what we had was good
but what we had was never meant to last

It has been hard to admit it to myself
I hid it as a lie
convinced my brain my heart was wrong
but what we had was strong enough to last forever
now these feelings rage without end within me
and I fear they will never go away
the truth is we are perfect for each other
but the bitter reality is we are both with others

In the way it felt
I could see it was real
now years have past that we weren't together
and the ugly truth of it all is we both know
we are perfect for each other
she was the right girl
I was the right guy
it was just the wrong time

I know the suns shining outside
sure it's a pretty day
but right now I just need to be alone
I just want my thoughts and this music on

I didn't get much sleep last night
but it was worth it to talk to you
I just can't help myself
I love everything about you
Just so you know
I can't wait to see where this goes
because little things turn into dreams
and dreams turn into the real thing

Your body glows in faint fire light
slowly fading into the trance of the night
the sound of your whisper excites my bones
and the touch of your body reminds me we've grown
You are all I want but not all I've known
but without your love I'll sink like a stone

I don't want to feel this broken heart
I just want to be where you are
If its another day all alone
im not interested but I'm learning to move on
I promised you I would stay strong
but it's taking all I've got and some I'm not

Some things just aren't meant to be is what they say
but the feelings you give me
make me want to believe we are more than just a you and a me

Do you ever feel like you're stuck
or trapt and alone
like everything is falling apart
and theres nothing you can do
well find a way to laugh
cause I'm right there with you

I don't blame you for thinking about leaving
because I'm still trying to figure out who I am
and who I want to be
It could be us
but then again it might just be me

Just another quiet night
nothing new
its been awhile since I called you
i guess it's safe to say its over
now its like I don't know her
and I never thought I'd have to say this
but I hate this
it's quite a distance
between us but I still feel it
my heart is still beating for her
no never mind let me just quit
gotta get her out of my head
but I think I would rather be dead than just forget
who she was and who we were
together we were the same line in the same verse

I don't need the approval and guidance
I don't need the blessings and the smiles
because I can do it by myself has been the story of my life
Every step I take is me
Every breath I breath is me
Every **** thing I do is me
so if you will please
just sit back and watch me become everything I said I would be

She has a love like a cup that keeps overflowing
and I can’t get enough of that good stuff
To me she hung the moon, she hung the stars
and I want to be right where you are baby
Every time you come around it's like the sun starts shining
A little bit brighter than it ever was
I don’t want nothing to do if it ain't with you
What's the point of this world if I don't have my girl

I'm keeping an open mind
searching high and low for what I need
but the truth is I'm scared
because what if no one else can make me feel the way she did

I miss your smile
the way your nose crinkles when you lie
I miss your eyes
and all the good you bring into my lonely life
you are pure and honest and perfect for me
knowing all these things I still let you pass me by
mostly because I'm just another stupid guy
I'm sorry for everything
and I'll lay it all on the line
If you will have me back just one more time

Every time she comes around I feel more alive than ever before
but I can't go back to her anymore
I have to hide these feelings inside because she belongs to another
as bad as I want too
I can't let her know
because if she knew, the burden of my love would **** her
but I'm dying from a broken heart without her
She would die if she knew
but i'll die if she doesn't

I want to live a life worth living
where we can share the same bed every night
your body on my body until we see the sunrise
I can wake up everyday to your beautiful eyes
and ill never forget you because you will always be by my side

If you could go back in time and give yourself advice about your first love
what would you say?
If you could tell your first love something now what would you say?

Please Comment!

It feels like I'm just waiting
while my heart keeps breaking
like I'm going no where with anyone but me
and I'm caught in the rain wasting my time on the ground
but if I could find you and kiss you and know you
it would be like continuous thunder rolling in my bones forever
