i tell myself lies in the light of every day
when i swear that this will go away
in four months, in an afternoon
in the time it takes to say ‘I Do.’
can’t tell a story without an ending
i keep reading signals you aren’t sending
but i know i will get over you
in the time it takes to say ‘I Do.’
how does the heart of man get so hardened
on a wish that once was faint
now it’s pounding out a rhythm
how does the sinner dance with the saint
yet we find when the music ends
all we’re left with his a handful of friends
i want someone who knows me best
the sun always returns to the west
if there’s such a thing as love
what does it feel like when it’s true?
if there’s such a thing as love
is it how i feel for you?
you ask me if we can be friends
i did not think that i’d hear from you again
cause lately all we do is argue
i’ve tried to so hard to hate you
but your voice is a potion in my ear
with the words i never dreamed i’d hear
you miss me, you want me around
you know i’ll never let you down
but no
i love you too much
to just keep in touch
we’ll never be
what we were before
my heart will always want more
no.
i’m so afraid that i’ll push you away
more afraid you’ll quietly say
it’s ok, i understand, i’ll leave you alone
i’m afraid, wish you’d say…
no
you mean too much
to simply lose touch
maybe we’ll never be
what we were before
maybe God plans so much more
no.
it’s not the dress you wanted when you dreamed
it’s not new and it has torn seams
but you where it like cinderella’s gown
i swear your feet don’t even touch the ground
look at that face, i can’t look away
your blue eyes are anchored in comfort grey
the questions are gone from your smile
the answer’s at the end of the aisle
i know how long you’ve waited for today
women wish for the games that girls play
i know you too well to doubt what i see
he makes you happy
he’s not the prince charming your mom foretold
but love at first sight is the first to go cold
i close my eyes, though it’s ok to stare
did you choose him just because he was there?
i didn’t chase my dream, chase you away
i let you go thinking you’d come back to stay
every risk needs someone to lose
and baby, hope was so easy to choose
so i’m here to see with my own eyes
i hope something inside me dies
something that avoids despair
i still love you, but he was there
i love you but,
he makes you happy.
sure, he’s simple
a one dimensional man
and all his letters
you understand
you want a guy
solid like stone
like he’s better off here
alone
but i want to be temporary
until you make your mark on me
a fingerprint in wet cement
make me permanent
i don’t have a dream
to follow at all cost
i just dream of you
without you i am lost
none of my stories make sense
you are the missing ending
you want a real man
and i’m just pretending
God the father reader of dreams
you alone know what i really need
did you plant in my heart a passion seed
all i want is her
and that probably is my proof
it’s a wish, selfishly
everybody loves this way
they get crushed, then they get ok
but i think somehow i’m special
like my heart can read your mind
i’m afraid if i give it to you
it will get left behind
of course the answer is easy
if it was never meant to be
then one day i’ll be able to see
what you have better planned for me
but that answer doesn’t satisfy
she is all that i desire
got please let this be real
not the story of a liar
speak to me the words that make me smile
the day is long and i am not prepared
to face the trouble; home’s so many miles
gimme some help to get there
finger in flour, your love on my heart
you touch me and leave an obvious mark
but sunset red, the last words you said
light me in the dark
say it again
say it again
birds are chirping, the sky is so blue
i used to say this was so cliche
but old emotion is always new
as we discover each new day
still i worry still i fear
tell me it will be alright
when you whisper it in my ear
a blind man gets his sight
yes, you are pretty
all the boys stare
yes, you are bright
you are lighter than air
like a balloon
windswept you flew
but like a balloon
we see right through you
keep your sweet smile
pocket your charms
no man is reaching
with marry-me arms
i can’t be your friend without wishing for your heart
i can’t hear you laugh without wanting to make you smile
i can’t speak your name without wanting to give you mine
i can’t bring you down without wishing i was driving you wild
i can’t hear your dreams without wanting to sing you to sleep
i can’t see your eyes without wanting to share the view
i can’t know you care without hoping for a chance
i can’t fall in love… without you
maybe that’s why it’s so hard to see you again
asking me if we could be friends
some wounds never mend
i can’t fall in love… without you
i stake my story on rumor of chance
if i am wrong i will fall and all break
for i know i’m ill equipped for romance
some guys don’t have what it takes
if every know that’s screamed in my ear
proves out to be the obvious plan
i’ll cradle the dream that i never did hear
i chose a lie and you chose another man
but david’s stone took goliath down
a bloody jawbone saved samson’s life
a baby boy wore heaven’s crown
so i hope you’ll be my wife
God is the God of what’s best for me
has He given me sight to see that it’s you?
or do i desire fruit from a tree
a dream best left untrue?
i write this like a man unguarded
drawn to danger, left to die
they say i’ll end up broken hearted
but for the sake of love i try
