she saved every letter as most girls do
she kept every proof that he cared
(he didn’t care)
she fell for the lies of his deep blue eyes
and filled up blank pages with his name
(he called her babe)
she sobered herself with lonely nights
and found a reason to believe the truth
(he was sorry)
she stole her back heart and finally reached his
she was walking away when he fell for her
(he loved her)
she was tempted to turn his lesson was learned
she didn’t look back, she was free
(he was too late)

carnival de amor
when i stepped out at this carnival
it was new to this old town
now the big tops coming down
and i’ve been hired as a clown
you can laugh if you thinks it’s funny
i once was watching too
but if you go to that carnival
it will happen to you
i have a cotton candy crush
so hard it breaks my teeth
a sweet and tender feeling
with concrete underneath
i spun it round it my head
sweet, soft, equal parts
i find it rots to love
wrapped tightly round my heart
so i’m putting on some straight face
teaching the apes to sign
telling them the sad story
of this heart o’ mine
i have a cotton candy crush
so hard it breaks my teeth
a sweet and tender feeling
with concrete underneath
can you run from what you can’t see?
can you hide from how you feel?
so i chew on stone emotion
and swallow words sharp as steel
love is patient
i wish i could say ‘i love you’
i wish it wouldn’t be a lie
i wish i could make you happy
God knows i try
but i’m older now than i was
was when i said i’d never move on
i want to be there for you
but i’m already gone
love is patient but i can’t wait
love is kind but life is cruel
we must go our separate ways
but i once was a fool for you
don’t cry cause you’ll see
this is gonna set you free
i know we’ll never be
eachothers destiny
so shake my hand, don’t hug me
cause i might decide to stay
here in your arms
living off of yesterday
good hands
you are more beautiful
than these cameras could possibly hold
your laughter is music your eyes full of light
we’ll always remember this night
everyones waiting around to kiss you
you’re heard so many things today
but escape with me for a moment
there’s something i have to say…
congratulations
i hope you’ll be
unbelievably
happy
i’m afraid i’ve lost it all
everything i too quickly called mine
while i wasn’t looking, he took you away
but i never ask you to stay
but i never owned your smile
i cannot claim your love
so why do i – feel so robbed
i was never the one you were thinking of…
congratulations
i hope you’ll be
unbelievably
happy
so i’ve got to go now
i hope you’ll understand
i just came to see that you
were in good hands
what does a guy
here you are you’re complaining again
and i’ve heard it ALL before
but i stay – because i am a “friend”
and i – will never be anything more
another knight rode into your life
but he would not get off his horse
so you whine – oh how you want to be a wife
but things just cannot get much worse
well what does a guy have to do to make you see
what does a guy have to do to make you happy
there are more questions in your eyes
than can be answered by any guy
i want to ask you not to cry (please don’t cry)
but i can see you need a hug
you say all you want to know is why
all my wisdom i offer in a shrug
after the pity, you ask my advice
i say all but what i believe
cause you think i’m sweet and you think i’m nice
and i don’t want make you leave
well what does a guy have to do to make you see
what does a guy have to do to make you happy
there are more questions in your eyes
than can be answered my just any guy
but i’d like to try
i’d like to try
think it’s over now
i think it’s over now
there’s no way it could go on
i’ve been dreaming through the night
but i feel the warmth of dawn
can i pull the covers overy my head?
pretend it’s not the end?
no i’m not allowed
i can’t go back where i began
i’ve got to move on
leave this behind now
God, give me the strength to go
and show me how
if i was honest with her
would i regret what i said
more than the feeling
of keeping it in my head
but now there’s distance between us
i can start to forget
i won’t be blind anymore
but it hasn’t healed yet
if i find myself back here someday
it will be God leading the way
only a miracle will get her to see
she’s the only one for me
the match
baby don’t strike that match
you don’t want to light that flame
baby don’t talk that talk
unless you’re ready to walk away
baby can’t you see
can’t you see the way i feel
baby don’t burn this bridge just yet
don’t do something that you’re gonna regret
i’m not asking for much
lets just keep in touch
don’t burn these bridges
baby you struck that match
off my cheeck like a kiss
baby i’ve been betrayed
by the one i’m still gonna miss
baby don’t drop that match
i’ve stories you haven’t heard
i’ll say anything
won’t you give me the words
love makes fools
it’s a popular notion love won’t be denied
mothers tell daughters to wait for the tide
that washes over the walls of our doubt
and sweeps you away – it’ll happen some day
so girls wipe their eyes – escape under book covers
stories of pure and timeless lovers
in those pages – fantasy and lies
girls grow believing with hope in their eyes
it may never be
or it might be easy
but love will make fools of the wise
the wind-swept wasteland of the real world
wears down even the best of the bold
until we are hardened from some cold war
we needlessly fight in ourselves every night
i don’t believe any fairy tales
love may exist but grows old and stale
nothing can soften my mind made up heart
till i fall at the feet of the next girl i meet
it will never be
like i think it’ll be
falling in love makes fools of the wise
All I Can Say
i’ve got so much to say
i don’t want to give it away with a look
but she always has her nose
stuck in that damn book
so i’m quiet till the right time
but everyday just seems wrong
screw the timing, i speak up
to find she’s gone
so i’ll wait till tomorrow i guess
maybe then i’ll know what’s best
i wish it could have been today
i wish – is all i can say
she left me alone and lonely
almost in mid-sentence
i can say it’s no matter of mine
but my shield is showing dents
so i write it all down
and plan to give it to her
but it carries a promise
i know i can’t deliver
well maybe things will be better with me
when i finally learn to set her free
oh brother
my eyes are closed but they don’t make
the world around me disappear
all of the twists – all of the chances
and i had to end up here
no man can hoard all of his feelings
and cover his vulnerable heart
still there’s that shame in falling
so we hide it from the start
but she – she was almost worth the risk
i saw her as no other
and now – she confesses her feelings
she loves me – like her brother?
her words carry off in an echo
like some punishment that i deserve
cause i had hoped to tell her
but i never had the nerve
and i’m stuck here with a smile
though i know that it’s our end
cause one things for sure -if we won’t be more
we will have to be less (than) friends
our conservation has ended
but we think of some reason to stay
over the phone – so close
so far away
