dying of vows

Posted on by under Girls, God, Sad

 


we’ve watched these ships set sail from shore
happy, frail, and searching for more
sometimes the waves pull them apart
two pulled from the wreckage of one broken heart

God, we’re scared to venture out to sea
what if we miss what’s meant to be
so many ships never make it home
are we better off here alone?

but you hear the whispers my soul speaks
you know i need your strength, i’m weak
God, Your love – never goes away
why is it so hard to make ours stay?

such a fragile thing you’ve given us here
hearts that ache and break and want to near
we toss around love like it’s ok to fail
but you loved enough to take the nails

so many promises turn out as lies
we follow our hearts till we realize
we don’t stop searching for something new
even though we found it all in You

i want the love that only you give
unconcerned with the life i live
a love beyond anything i do
a love that never breaks in two

 

watchmen

Posted on by under Girls, My Favorites, Sad

the watchmen on the wall
trip and fall and crack like glass
and it was my choice
to throw them away or
glue them up for another day

and i let them go, i went unguarded
you hadn’t crossed my border in months
i thought i was through with the enemy
but you weren’t through with me

so maybe it’s my fault
you’re climbing the walls
maybe it’s my fault
my kindom will fall
maybe i brought it all to an end
maybe i’m just glad to see you again

deja vu, i hear the warcry
i smile holds a knife in your teeth
i bar the door and raise the gate
a weak attempt to delay my fate

but you are inside, i have nowhere to hide
drag me out to swear allegience
you’ve taken my castle, you’ve taken my pride
i have to call you queen

goddess

Posted on by under Conviction / Doubt, Getting Over It, Girls, God, Sad

i’d follow her to my demise
if she’d only wipe my eyes
her frown could cloud the bluest skies
i lived each day to feel her pass by

i’d never speak her name in vain
i’d always wonder what she’d say
i’d stick with her through wind and rain
i believe i’ll see her (again) someday

but she, she’s not a goddess walking on dirt
she’s just a girl who knows how to flirt
God, forgive me, i fell at her feet
and i got hurt

but she didn’t love me enough to bleed
i had nothing she would need
she spread her wings when she was freed
and i could not follow that lead

she held me down when i was weak
she wouldn’t listen when i’d speak
she’s not the treasure that i seek
but i believed

sunrise

Posted on by under Girls, Sad

she stares at the ceiling till she closes her eyes
he whispers sweet everythings into her ears
this is the part she’ll tell her friends
when his promises are all that she hears

this dance to the fading out radio station
she imagines the soundtrack of her life
the credits will roll with a walk down the aisle
a husband and a wife

take her, moonlight, ease her pain
the sun will show her scarred again
lead her out of the lies of the guys
who promise the world – but can’t give her a sunrise

i caught her eye this afternoon
i was in a hurry somewhere – i got there too soon
i saw the hurt, rejection and the fear
i was looking into a mirror

i see her now – early into bed
going past her past in her head
i hear the promises she whispers to the night
but there’s no music to make it right

he was too late

Posted on by under Sad

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

Posted on by under Girls, Sad

 


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

Posted on by under Getting Over It, Girls, Sad


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

Posted on by under Getting Over It, Girls, Sad


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

the match

Posted on by under Girls, Love, My Favorites, Sad


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

All I Can Say

Posted on by under Girls, Sad


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
