Water Fight

Alone on a Saturday night
Without your arms around me
Surrounded by people, strangers, friends
How do I pass the time
Water fight
Chasing, shooting, hitting
The enemy within
The laughter in the shadows
Taking away the loneliness, the emptiness
A fight to the death

Two on one
You, me, us
Alone, but not so alone
I race, hide, shoot
Soaked to the skin
I don't feel the cold
I am the victor
The battle rages on
The laughter ringing out
Gotcha
But who's got me

The fight, the fun, the fallout
Truce, no winners or losers
Just us, wet through
Cold creeping in
Shivers, goosebumps on my skin
Hair standing up
Smile on my face
But still alone
Surrounded by people, strangers, friends
Who don't see within

Gentle Your Heart

I'll hold your heart
So gently
In my small hands
I won't hurt you
I'll hold your heart
So gently
In my small hands
Hold mine too
I've been hurt
So many times
Don't hurt me
I won't hurt you

You ask me to be careful
You be careful too
I won't ask more than you can share
Don't promise me
You'll always be there
I give you my heart
So gently
Hold me freely
In your hands

Don't tell me you won't hurt me
I won't hurt you
I just want to love you
Will you love me too
Will you trust me
Not to hurt you
I won't lie to you
I'll hold your heart
So gently
In my small hands
Hold mine too
I won't hurt you
I won't hurt you
I will always love you

Chances

Second chances do come around
Once in a while true love is found
I found you when I'd given up
Now we are the two of us
You for me
Me for you
Lovers finding our own way through
I didn't believe I had a heart
Then you came along
And tore my world apart
Picking up the pieces
And making me whole
My heart is yours
My body and soul
It isn't easy sharing me
But maybe easy
Is not what love is meant to be
Second chances are there for all
I took the chance
And let myself fall

You to Me

You opened your arms to me
When I needed you
You held out your hand to me
When I needed you
You captured my tears
When I needed you
You eased all my fears
When I needed you
You loved me

You gave me your soul
When you needed me
You gave me your trust
When you needed me
You gave me your dreams
When you needed me
You loved me

We share all we have
When we need to
We share all we are
When we need to
We share all our hopes
When we need to
We love

I give you my heart
Because I need you
You give me yours back
Because you need me
I give you my love
Because I want you
You give me all I need
Because you want to

Love me
I'll never hurt you
I'll love you
And I'll dream with you
Be with me
And I'll keep you
You are the truth in me

My Fragile Heart

Be careful with my fragile heart
It's never been held before
Be careful and try not to hurt it more
Taking from my soul
Like a thief in the dark
I let you in
Take care of my heart
Giving myself
Like a child new born
Trusting you with my fragile heart
Crushed, never held
My heart has been
Taken, not tender
Till now, never free
Love in my soul
You in my heart
I trust you to keep it
So carefully
Be careful I ask
With my fragile heart
It's never been held gentle
Please don't hurt it more

Dirty Little Secret

I'm not your dirty little secret any more
Try to remember that when you walk out my door
Come back to me when you know who I am
I'm your woman and you're supposed to be my man
Loving you was never in my plans
Holding you is all I want to do
You told me that was what you wanted too
Stop treating me like a dirty little secret
Love me, if you can, without regret
Hold me close and let the world see who we are
Lovers just wanting to be free of the past
I'm not your dirty little secret any more
I'll be waiting when you walk back through my door

Take Me As You Are

When I see the chance
I take it
Damn the consequence
When I want a moment
I make it
No time for lament
Look inside
See who you are
Look at the shadow you leave
Who can you see
When you look too close
Try to understand yourself
Take what you need
Be who you have to be
Do just what you need

Did you look at the whole of you
Did you see the truth
Are you happy with who you are
Can you accept who you see

When I want to take the time
It's mine for the taking
When I need to keep myself whole
No one can break me
I take what I need
I give what I want
Do you know what that means
Do you live like me
Are you a shadow of the past
Are you a piece of the whole
Can you be happy with you
Can you take it all

Did you see what I saw
In the darkness of the night
Did you take what I gave
Did you keep only to yourself

Is there someone inside
You don't think you like
Is there another you
Someone you need to hide
Can you look at yourself
See who you are
Accept the shadows within yourself
As part of the truth you live
Did you let go
Of the time you can't accept
Can you let the past lie
Can you let yourself rest

Do you need to face the past
To see the future you
Do you need to look beyond now
To know the real truth

Are you free to feel
To live as you choose
Are you happy now
Are you really doing what you want to do
Let it go
Live for now
Face the past another day
Life is waiting for you
Give in give up
Be free to trust
Let go let be
The pain you carry inside
Just be you be me
And let it be now

See feel know trust
Life is waiting on you
Go stay be now
Do what you have to do

I have the time
I have the pain
I am the shadow
I am the same
Living in the now
Carrying the past
Taking every moment
Giving no trust
It's the way I know
It's the only truth
I can't change what I am
I can't change who

I gave what I could spare
Nothing much I could do
I keep all that I am
I know no other truth

Existing more than living
Being nothing more
Taking nothing given
Giving nothing

Just another night
A long list of them
A moment lost to time
More lovers than friends
Alone once again
With thoughts too big to share
I sit in the shadows
And listen to the darkness in my head
What can I say
What can I do
This is the only way
I can live with my truth

Let it go
Not just yet
It's all that keeps me here
Give it up
Don't know how
It's all I know is real

Throughout The Years

It's time to walk away
To say one last goodbye
I know what we had was wrong
But you brought peace into my life

You kiss me and you brush my cheek
Hold me close one last time
You ask me in a broken voice
Just for one last smile

You told me you were falling in love
I asked you "please don't do it"
I couldn't tell you when you asked me too
That I felt the same as you did

A little piece of my heart has gone
Taken away by you
But the happiness you brought to my life
Will always remain true

It's time to walk away
To wipe away the tears
I know I had no right to you
But you'll be with me through the years

You showed me how to laugh
At nothing at all that mattered
You shared with me your special place
Now my heart is a little broken and battered

Don't cry for us
I'll shed no more tears
Just smile when you think of me
As I will enjoy the memories of us throughout the years

Wrong Song

There's a song she sings
Don't know it's words or name
All I know
When I hear it, it causes me pain

Memories come thick and fast
Thoughts of people, places
The past
A history best left behind
A dream, nightmare brought to mind

The hurts, the anger
Loss and pain
A child broken
Left living in shame

It wasn't my fault
I live with the guilt
I shouldn't have earned
I cry in the dark
For the child left burnt

I wash and I scrub
But never get clean
The ones who hurt me
Left me torn at the seams

A drink doesn't help
So I don't bother now
Just walk away, alone
Take time to dwell

A smart remark
Breaks into my thoughts
Helps set me loose
From the shambles in my mind

I never hear the words
Of the song you sing
Just the memories it triggers
That race to the front
A mind full of darkness
Shadows and ghosts
Do you know
As a child
What I wished for the most
To not be me

Even now
When I hear the opening chords
Just of that song
I still wish
It hadn't been me

Not Your Bitch

My name's not bitch
My name's not whore
My place is not down on the floor

I am not slut
I am not slave
I am not here to wear your rage

I have a name
I have a face
This is my time, my place

I choose my life
I choose my fate
I choose to live without your hate

Who do you think you are
That you get to hurt me
Why do you think you can
When I don't deserve it
Just stop
Turn around and walk away
I am free
And I don't need your pain

More

We are all meant for a better life than this
We are all deserving of greatness
We should however be thankful for what we have
Grateful even to have so much
Though we are not

We are richer than we know
We have more than we need
Yet none have truly understood
But those who no longer need
Though money be tight
And time too short
Life itself is as plentiful as anything
Full of wonder and magic
Not just tears and pain
A child's cry of laughter
A sunset on the hills
Even painted cows in the fields
The magic and richness of life surrounds us
But through our despair we do not see
We no longer lie in the grass like children
Seeing shapes in the clouds
We no longer dream of what we'll be when we grow up
Of sight and sounds and smells
Of places far away
We no longer take delight in a simple daisy chain
But we should, you should, I still do
Though I am grown now
I still feel like a child
There is so much to see and hear and smell
And I delight in all
Even the cows in the field
Each new day brings something new and wonderful
And I shall be here to wonder at the richness of life
And the joy of living with not without
Why don't you open your eyes one day and join me
I'll be the one lying on the grass looking at the shapes in the clouds

The Eagle She Soars

A wisp in the mist
A shadow in the moonlight
Spreading her wings
Lifting up into the sky
Lighter than air
Clearer than sunlight
But solid as earth

She carries herself as only she can
A dreamer with hopes to spare
A worker with dreams to share
Tall and proud she walks with me
Straight as the breeze in the willows
She tells me of wonders above the clouds
And promises to show me one day
I know who she is
Yet I don't know her name
She is beauty and peace
Hope for us she brings
As she reaches for the sky
She looks down at me
And sings her love for life
Her hopes for a brighter day
She soars higher and higher
Racing the wind
To settle on her nest at the highest peak
On the tallest mountain
The eagle watches her world spread out below
And waits for her young to emerge from their shells
While her mate searches for the next meal
To tide her over till the next time comes
When she can come down and tell me
Of life above the clouds

Little Bit Broken

Broken doll, shattered dreams
Pain that runs too deep
Little girl so all alone
Crying out only in her sleep

Monsters trail so close behind
The past too close to flee
The fear inside
Too big, too real
From neither can she ever be free

The trust is gone
The hope withered
The love twisted and shameful
The family she never had
And never will
Makes looking to the future
Much too painful

Plundered childhood, stolen innocence
Futures turned to dust
We carry on
Those who can
Surviving, only because we must

A child here
A monster there
A dirty little secret
A generation lost that night
A promise no one cared to keep

They were all so young
So full of life
Now you were just alive
We keep our pain locked up inside
And our past so close behind

Broken souls, shattered lives
A heart that can find no peace
Memories that never end
Regrets that never cease

The Fading Shades of Paradise

White, creation, new hope, new future
Endless life
Raise the hand to shade the eyes
Darkness encroaches
The future dims
Grey, the shades of winter
Of summers lost, of futures unseen, unheard, unborn

Green, new growth, new life, new hope
Aqua, pure water
Emerald, the colour of the waves
That brings the future to us
And with them brings the shadows
Brown, the colour of the foam as it washes onto the sand
Black, the colour of the death it leaves in it's wake
Slate, the colour of the future as we walk the beaches
Covered in the black death of pollution
The refuse of our despair
The whales and dolphins who used to sing
Now cry out in sorrow for the waste
The violent violet shades of sunrise on the brightest summer days
Through the russet shades of sunset on the dawn of always
The needles glint their deadly smiles
The sewage perfumes with malodorous air
The waste of generations that build up through time
As the future, like shadows in the darkness, disappears
Those are the fading shades of paradise

Living And Dying

I've seen and heard a million stories
I've watched it all go down
I've seen the lights
And lived the darkness
In this dirty town
I don't know where to go
I don't know what to do
All I know for certain
Is how much I need you

I've climbed the highest highs
I've fallen to the depths
I've watched the world go by
From the safety of my nest
I've tried to laugh
I've only cried
All alone in this nightmare
I finally died

Tomorrow is another start
When all I need is end
This life of try and fail
Has left me no choice
But to see what's round the bend
I don't want to know
I really don't want to see
But no matter what I want
I need you here with me

I've lived and died a million stories
I've felt it all fall down
I've searched for light
Only found the darkness
In my lonely town
I don't know what went wrong
Or what I have to do
But somehow, somewhere
I will find you

Light and Freedom

For tomorrow over the wall
We'll fight
We'll climb
We'll fall
For the sunshine on our skin
We'll walk forever
To the light
Of a day in freedom
For the birds free from cages
Gilded though they be

The freedom of the ages
Of time not yet forgot
Of time for you and me
Searching for the gateway
Through the wall of hate
Trying to reach the other side
Before our time is gone
For tomorrow edges closer
And night almost be dawn
Now someone reached a hand down
A foothold did appear
The top is almost in sight
The wall is nearly past
Sunlight getting brighter
In the golden blue up high
Rain is fading fast
Clouds scudding across the sky
Away from our future
Our today over the wall

Somewhere

It's dark out
Somewhere up there
Hidden above the clouds
The stars shine
The moon glows
But that is somewhere up there
The radio plays lonely songs
From a station somewhere else
Heard but unseen
Felt but not thought of
But that is somewhere else

People talk, play, love and fight
Somewhere out there
Weaving lives from silken threads
Acting out their parts
In a show for ages
But that is somewhere out there
Each move is choreographed
To perfection or near enough
Each line written
Before time began
Each role made for someone
But that is still somewhere
Where I am not
And the darkness is still there

This Is I

And time, and time, and time goes by
And I am time
I am the sun
I am the earth
I am the moon
I am the blood
I am the life
I am death

I reach my hands out
And hold the stars
I wave my fingers
And send them past
I look out through
The blanket of sky
To see what lies beyond
And I know all there is to know

I am death
Untouchable, unstoppable
Ever passing on
My every breath
Is another life
Another death
And time, and time, and time goes on
And I am time.

Look Again

What do you see
When you look at me
A woman, a child, something in between?
What do you think
If you think of me
What a waste, what a shame, what a pity?
Look again.
What do I see
When I look at you
A man, a boy, a little of both!
What do I think
When I think of you
A wish, a dream, a moment, a chance!
Look again.

I go a little crazy
When I'm on my own
Thinking of things
Not meant for one.
Taking chances makes sense
In the dark of the night.
Alone in the moment
Your voice in my ear
Touching my senses
So soft, so right.

What do you see
When you look at me
Who I am
A woman, nervous, shy, confused by the rules of the game?
What do you think
If you think of me
Anything but of the woman you see?
Look again.
What do I see when I look at you
A man who doesn't seem to see
The woman looking at him!
What do I think
When I think of you
Take a moment
Look again.

Life is too short
I learned long ago
To waste time regretting
Moments not lived
Chances not taken
Life slipping by
So I ask
One last question
Hello...
Or Goodbye?

Chance

Is there a dream inside your heart
Waiting for a moment
Don’t wait anymore
Make you chance, take your chance
Take it now

Don’t wait for opportunity
To come long
Make it happen
If you have to take the chance
Take it now

There’s something going on inside all of us
A moment comes along
Time to do what must be done
See the instant, wake the dream
Make it now

Have you got what it takes to make it
Can you do what must be done
Can you be number one
Take point, lead the way, do it today
Make it pay

Illicit

A touch
A taste
A dream
Your face
A shadow in the dark

Your hand
Your lips
Your voice
My soul
A moment stolen from another
Your touch I ask for
Your kiss I want
Your heart not mine to take
Would that we could walk away
Did you know it would be like this
Did you see what we would have
Do you understand the truth of what we are
Do you miss what we can never have
Real life left behind
For a moment
A minute
An hour
A night
Lovers taking what we can
Giving what we have
Sharing a secret no one knows
An illicit affair
The secret grows

Shadow Lover

Dark, alone, seeking
Silent, seductive, whispers
Touching, feeling, reeling
Hands, fingers, tongues, lips

A stranger in a shadowed world
Of quiet desperation
Searching for a moment out of self
Escape and evasion

Darkness covers bold advances
Hides shadows in the soul
Fears, deep inside
Fuels reckless drives
To buy, sell, be sold

What are you running from
Why do you need to hide
What is this pain and loss and need
That builds in darkest nights

Who are you when you stop the games
Are you who you want to be
Feeling like the dream is real
Are you where you're meant to be

Touching, tasting, holding, held
Feeling all there is to feel
And much more as well
There it is, the place so deep
The feeling grows too real to keep

Whispers, sighs, screams for more
Reach the stars
Fall to the shore
The dream it fades
The light breaks through
The day begins
Who are you?

My Valentine

1 whole, 2 sides
1 soul, 2 minds
1 goal, 2 lives
Commitment

2 hearts, 1 beat
2 bodies, 1 heat
2 lives, 1 dream
Eternity

Wishes, wants
Wins and wanes
Goods and bads
Pleasures, pains
The end of time
And back again
Love

The Game Is Over

The dealer opens up the game
The lights are growing dim
Wishing he could end the shame
And the hell he's living in

With every hand the dealer folds
Another light goes down
The heat of battle growing cold
No happiness in town

The game is over
The queen of hearts is gone
The game is over the king of diamonds has moved on
How could we all have been so wrong
It's over
The game is over

When the dealer plays the final hand
Hope is all he's got
The joker takes the final stand
And the dealer knows he's lost

Beautiful Eyes

Such pretty brown hair
Beautiful eyes
Porcelain skin
Delicate style

Are you cold where you lie?
Beautiful eyes
Snow on the ground
Water like ice

Do you dream summer dreams
Beautiful eyes
Promising spring
Cloudless skies

Do you miss your home?
Beautiful eyes
Your mum and dad
Did you have your goodbyes?

Who did this to you?
Beautiful eyes
Battered your soul
Smothered your cries

Who was your reaper?
Beautiful eyes
Broke your body
Stole your life

Are you at peace now?
Beautiful eyes
No more pain
No more bad times

What is your name?
Beautiful eyes
Where are you from?
Who did you leave behind?

Are you with the angels?
Beautiful eyes
Watching from heaven
Above perfect blue skies

Silver Bells

Silver bells ringing in the darkness
Little girl crying in the night
Tender hearts calling out for someone
To come along and hold her tight

Lovers words whisper in the shadows
Promised land just beyond her grasp
Riding high upon a rainbow
Reaching out to touch the stars

Silver bells ringing in the darkness
Little girl growing up too soon
Tender heart so easily boken
Shattered pieces in an empty room

Silly dreams best left behind
Almost perfect that's good enough
Pots of gold just for fools
There's no such thing as lasting love

Silver bells ringing in the darkness
Little girl becomes so grown
Tender heart wrapped in pain
Believes she's better off alone

Wishes, wants and hopes aside
Need is all that's left
Working just for working's sake
She only wants to reach the end

Silver bells ringing in the darkness
Little girl waking up alone
Tender heart yearning for a partner
Someone, somewhere will be her home

Love A Soldier

Be brave my gentle soldier
Be brave and of good heart
We will never falter
We will never part

Think of me tomorrow
As you march off to war
My heart so filled with sorrow
When you answer the call

Be brave my gentle soldier
Be brave and of good heart
We will never falter
We will never part

Imagine us together
While in the dark you are alone
Our souls entwined forever
A love less than none

Be brave my gentle soldier
Be brave and of good heart
We will never falter
We will never part

When the enemy confronts you
And the battle seems lost
Remember one who loves you
Survive at any cost

Be brave my gentle soldier
Be brave and of good heart
We will never falter
We will never part

When the final shot is fired
And your blood pools on the ground
Your spirit soars ever higher
The echo of peace resounds

Be brave my gentle soldier
Be brave and of good heart
We will never falter
We will never part

A Dollar A Heart

If I had a dollar
For every broken heart I've seen
I would have a fortune
For my own
Every time he comes to me
He breaks my heart
Then he leaves
I'm left alone
To pick up the pieces
But somehow I always miss some
And my heart is never completed
I have to carry on
To go it alone
Sometimes I watch you
When you sleep
I pray for you
My heart to keep
Then dawns first light breaks
I watch as you slowly waken
I see you dress and brush your hair
And then you leave
Without a care
You smile and you kiss my face
Open the door and walk outside
Stepping with a certain grace
Each time you walk out of my life
I know it is for good
But you return each time
My heart resumes it's beating
A little less than before
Still it keeps on healing
Until my life is no more
You come and go
You never stay
You break my heart and walk away
If only I had a dollar
For each time you break my heart

Breakaway Lover

Breakaway lover
My one and forever
My only desire
My body and soul

I've been waiting forever
And
Not one minute but always

When the others fall by the wayside
Of the path you're travelling on
I'll be waiting with open arms
To carry you home

I've been waiting forever
And
Not one minute but always
For my
Breakaway lover
My one and forever
My only desire
My body and soul

When the spotlight shines too bright
And the music plays too sharp
My arms are always open
To take you into my heart

I've been waiting forever
And
Not one minute but always

For my
Breakaway lover
My one and forever
My only desire
My body and soul

Always racing, never reaching the end
Always searching, never finding a friend
When you really need one
But I'll always be here
Just reach out your hand to me

I'll be waiting forever
And not one minute but always
For my breakaway lover
My one and forever
My only desire
My body and soul

I'll be wating forever
And not one minute but always and more
For my
Breakaway love
I'll be waiting for you

Mind The Children

Who watches the watchers
Who guards the guardians
Who leads the leaders
Who minds the children

When did the beginning end
When did the end begin
We did we lose our innocence
When did we lose our minds

Who protects the protectors
Who saves the saviours
Who teaches the teachers
Who minds the children

How did it come to pass
How did we lose our way
How did we get to this
How did we just give up

Who watches the watchers
Who guards the guardians
Who leads the leaders
Who minds the children

Why did we pass the buck
Why didn't we just stand up
Why did we hide the truth
Why can't we make it up

Who protects the protectors
Who saves the saviours
Who teaches the teachers
Who minds the children

Will we ever end the fight
Will we ever make it right
Will we ever save their lives
Will we ever see the light

Who watches the watchers
Who guards the guardians
Who leads the leaders
Who minds the children

Obsessed With My Toes

I sit staring at my toes

And wonder what the hell they are for

Stubbing

Toenails like ice chips

Clear and sharp

And always getting in the way

Crooked toes, funny little digits

But they do have their uses

Picking up pens and kicking up backsides

Feet like brass bands

Loud and proud of it

Pretty blue veins

Patterning the skin

Like maps on a tabletop

Leading a treasure hunter who knows where

They too have their uses

Standing their ground or finding their way to my mouth

They are really quite good at that

I just wish my mouth wasn't so accommodating

Obssessed with my toes

What a bloody wonderful life I lead

Maybe tomorrow I'll obssess about my ears

They're quite nice you know

Heroes, Pirates, Maidens and Romantic Notions

We listen to stories

Of days gone by

Era's of romantic notions

Where has the romance gone

We imagine heroes on white chargers

Dashing pirates on on the open sea

And fair maidens rescued by love

We look at life and wonder

At the starkness of our times

The men with scowls on their sun toughened faces

The slaves of wage and poverty

The women bowed down by life

We wish for dashing heroes

Swashbuckling sea captains

And beautiul innocent damsels

The times have changed

But the dreams remain

Romance still abounds

In our imaginations

Feeding off each other

Feeding our hopes of a passion left undiscovered

Buried in our deepest hearts

We close our eyes and imagine

Arms closing about us

Strong yet gentle

Banded yet softly holding

Caressing our senses

Tender words whispered in our ears

Passionate love made with abandon

Sunlight dancing on the waves

As we sail lovetossed oceans

Then we open our eyes and gaze in wonder

At the grey skies and the concrete world we live in

But still we will dream of romance

Heroes, Pirates, Maidens

Of days gone by

And of stories told of us when we become

Era's of romantic notions

Just 'Cause

Why did you break that toy

Why did you push that boy

Why did you smile with joy

Just 'Cause

Why did you make her cry

Why did you poke her eye

Why did you tell that lie

Just 'Cause

Why did you steel that purse

Why did you swear that curse

Why do you do your worst

Just 'Cause

Why do you treat them cruel

Why do you break the rules

Why do you think it's cool

Just 'Cause

Why did you use that gun

Why did you think it fun

Why did you do it son

Just 'Cause

Why did the children break

What monsters did we create

How did they learn so well to hate

Just 'Cause

And

And so they came
And they were bearing standards of war
And they were wearing Iron Crosses upon their chests
And they were wearing yokes and mantles about their necks
And they were riding demon beasts made of steel
Breathing death with every shout and whisper
And the people cried, begged, pleaded and died
And then they left

And the screams and whispers of the dying followed
And the survivors few though they were
Walked lost and dazed through the rubble that once was their homes
And the people tried to understand that which they could not
And the children tried to ask questions they could not form
And the dead lay where they fell
And the dogs did not
And the village mourned the loss of all they once cherished
The innocence of the children at peace with the world
And slowly they came together again
And no one could look upon another without seeing again
And their eyes were haunted by one moment in time
And their hands would not touch
And their ears would not hear
And their hearts would not feel
For all the good had been sullied by the blood of the children
And through all they know the sun will go down and rise again
And the birds will still sing at dawn
And the rain will fall from winter skies
And the children will still be born
And time will carry on her long slow march
Until the tears are dried and life is gone for all
Then peace will reign once more

What About

What about love
What about us
What about you and me
What have we done
Throwing out words
Words we don’t mean to mean

Words of pain
Words of shame
Words of blame
Words and words and words again
What about love
What about love
What about love

Don’t you ever wonder
What became of us
Don’t you ever think
We’ve torn us apart
Can’t you even see
The truth of you and me
The love we used to feel
What about us
What about us
What about us

There was a time
Not so long ago
When the love we felt
Always seemed to grow
Then we lost our way
Lost ourselves in the pain
Couldn’t find the dream
Our life torn at the seems
What about love
What about love
What about love

Can we ever find the way
Back to the place
Where we lost our love
Can we even see the path
Leading to the light
Make it right
Can we find
The love inside
What about us
What about us
What about us

I know you need the love
That I give to you
You know it’s true
My hopes and dreams
I’ll build around you
The love we need
Is in you and me
What about trust
What about love
What about love
What about love

You know I need you in my life
I know without you I’ll survive
But will I be alright
I need the love you gave to me
You set me free
Now I believe
What do we see
Are we enough
What about us
What about us
What about us

Can we go back
Start over
Find the love we lost
Can we try again
Get beyond the pain
Can we make it
Can we make it through
Get back to me and you
Do you want to
What about love
What about us
What about you and me

What about love
What about us
What about you and me

What about love
What about us
What about you and me

What about love
What about us
What about you and me

Are You Coming Home?

All I ever wanted
Was to feel like I mattered
All I ever needed
Was your arms around me
You came into my life
When I felt so alone
You gave me so much hope
Now you take it all away

My life I give to you
My heart for no one else
My dreams I build around you
My future I share with you
I never want to lose you
My heart torn apart
I don’t think I could stand it
If we were to fall apart

I need to know you love me
I need to know you care
I feel it when you look at me
But now I feel like I’m not even there
Can you understand me
When I say I need to know
Can you see the reason
I feel you don’t

Is this still our beginning
Is this the beginning of the end
I love you like no other
Can this break ever mend
I come home just to be with you
To live the life we chose
Do you come here just to spend the nights
But don’t see this as your home

Did you really fall in love
Or was it just a fling
An affair that has become too much
Is this the real thing
Can you tell me honestly
You don’t want to leave
Can you make the changes
To make a life with me

I don’t feel like I matter
I don’t feel like it’s real
I’m never sure when you leave
If you’re coming home to me
Who would tell me if you aren’t
If I lost you on the way
I’m not the one they’d come to
To tell me of your fate

Does it even matter
If I’m left on my own
Who would I turn to
When you don’t come home
Who would I ask
If you were beyond late
The wife you say you left
Or would I just have to wait

There is no one to turn to
You are all I have
There is no one to ask
I’m all alone but for you
It’s time to make a choice
Our life or your own
It’s time to choose the past or now
When you come back
Are you coming home?
