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

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

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 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

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

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

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

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

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

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
Continue Reading!
