felt so new

Posted on by under Girls, My Favorites, Sad


so you have your first real love
but didn’t you just tell me
i was the one you were thinking of?
(ahh)

48 hours grows me up
you swallowed me and threw me up
’cause somebody better came along
and i wonder what went wrong

i would have been just friends with you
i would have done what you asked me to
i’m so used to being used, but with you
it felt so new

you said you never wanted to hurt me
you said it would break your heart
to up and go and leave me alone
how well you knew your part

did you lie when you said you’d cry
if you ever took advantage of me
even i can see through tears in my eyes
you’ve never been so happy

i’m mad at myself for letting you
do just what you warned you would do
and i’m mad at you for saying things
that evidently were not true

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

twins

can You hear them laughing
we only heard them cry
can they hear us down here
chokin’ back “why?”

and i can’t even tell You how i feel
cause i’m not sure that this is really real
but what’s Yours is Yours to take
what You make is Yours to break

but i can’t lay this in Your hands
God, i just don’t understand
how can this be part of Your plan?

if You’re holding them now
tell them we miss them so
the sweetest souls in heaven
we never got to know

and tell the secret of this lonely place
cause it’s too easy to think it’s all a waste
no answer is comfort to my ears
only time can dry my tears

can i come over

Posted on by under Faith, friends, God, My Favorites, Struggles

 


can i come over and make it ok
i don’t know what to say
but i can hear you choke back your tears
i have to fix what’s broken

i know the pain that has you down
i’m wounded too, i limp around
i know that life – life is unfair
but that is a reason for joy

we know the end of the story
but this chapter breaks our hearts
and i can’t make you smile
are we that far apart

i don’t know why the guys don’t call you
i don’t know who is meant for you
but i know beyond romance
God is waiting….waiting….

so let these words bring you comfort
rest not in things to come
but know that your hope for tomorrow
comes from what’s already been done

speak to me

Posted on by under Conviction / Doubt, Faith, God, My Favorites

i’m waiting
for a surprise
watching for someone i’ve never seen

if you’re there
you hear my prayers
take me where i’ve never been

i know i can’t expect an answer
but i ask anyway

speak to me
in the voice that jonah heard
one so real
i obey – or run away

i’m tired
of holding my breath
i cannot force you to speak

what might be you
i’m able to
ignore for the message i seek

speak to me
in the voice that Jesus used
one so real
i obey – or run away

think it’s over now

Posted on by under Getting Over It, Girls, My Favorites


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

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

dream guy

Posted on by under Girls, My Favorites, Sad

 


you want a surprise?
look deep in my eyes
i’ve always had feelings for you

every crush you claim
leads me to the flames
it hurts to hear what they do

you want your man
you’ve made your plans
i hope your wishes all come true
but i don’t care about your dream guy
it’s not me, now don’t tell me why
i’d change for you
if you want me to
but i won’t ever be right

will he be there
if you cut your hair
maybe – he might

you put up a front
to get what you want
a prince and love at first sight
but i don’t care about your dream guy
it’s not me, now don’t tell me why

 

follow the rain

Posted on by under Conviction / Doubt, God, My Favorites, Struggles

this land i claim is hostile to me
yet i claim it’s my home

this land i claim bears no fruit anymore
yet i call it home

should i follow the rain
wherever it may lead?
should i follow what i want
or what i need?
should i follow the rain
wherever it may lead?
abandon what i want for what i need?

so i go out in the fields
and pray to a God a can’t feel

i know i feel a push to leave
but do You push without a pull to lead?

should i follow the rain
wherever it may lead?
should i follow what i want
or what i need?
should i follow the rain
wherever it may lead?
abandon what i want for what i need?

don’t compromise

never thought i’d start a journey
like the one i’m going through
never knew i could dream so big
till i met you

but i saw deep in your eyes
a fire beneath the blue
you say you only want
someone to marry you
but don’t compromise
for some of those guys
hold on – it can’t be far
to someone who loves you
the way you are
honestly, i can’t understand
why you’re still alone
you’re a beauty, but beyond
you’re the sweetest girl i’ve known

i can’t offer answers
i won’t share my dream
lets just things aren’t as hopeless
as they seem
don’t compromise
for some of those guys
just go to the well with your jar
God’s sending someone to meet you
right where you are
