women hurt men

Posted on by under Girls, Silly Songs

cliches are annoying, only when they’re true
sometimes we don’t want to be told what to do
just leave me alone till i come find you
i know you care, i know you’re there for me

history teaches lessons that every man must learn
standing over ashes of bridges we once burned
i know love will find me if i just wait my turn
there’s fish in the sea, but none for me

there is a reason women are feared
it is no myth or legend
there is a reason women are feared
women hurt men….just friends

everybody brags about the traffic in their town
we look to have it worse so we can be proud to stick around
look, i made it through so nothing can take me down
there’s always mistakes in the chances we take

at best i have a history to tell on late nights
of making up only to prepare for the next fight
even when she’s wrong, she still feels so right
she broke my heart, she ripped me apart

there is a reason women are feared
it is no myth or legend
there is a reason women are feared
women hurt men….just friends

when love was easy

Posted on by under Girls, Sad

the streets shine back the moonlight
rain has ruled the day
night chases sun behind the clouds
sky goes black from grey

singles meet and mingle
they’re running out of time
they need to have somebody
by valentines

i remember the smiling face
broughr bright red hearts to me
i remember saying her name
when love was easy

but those were warmer days
when rain was only prayed for
her name is now unspoken
her smile seen no more

people speak of heroes
like they say “meant to be”
i used to quote destiny
when love was easy

to his shoulder

Posted on by under Girls, Sad

i made you cry
we said goodbye
i feel sick inside
cause i break you down
he fixes your frown
i need some place to hide

i send you to his shoulder
because i love you so
i tell you when you’re wrong
i think that you should know
but i’m sorry…don’t go.

he wipes your tears
he calms your fears
you trust beyond your doubt
that he is your man
but you understand
everything i’m talking about

the party

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


the evening raced to midnight
now you sense each second pass
an awkward cough, an “i should go”
i goodbye on the grass

talelights fade behind the bend
you know this day is done
the lights are off, the door is locked
you don’t pick up the fun

it’s cluttered on the floor
like some old memory
you’ll clean up in the morning
for tonight just leave it be

lay your head down, drift to dream
stay anchored on the night
the words, the tone, the meaning
she will, she won’t …she might

did you make a fool of love
could see what you pretend
is this feeling finally real
or just another friend?

song for the ignored

Posted on by under Girls, My Favorites, Sad

i squeeze every ounce of joy
out of my day to hand to you
you swallow it and smile
a runner with one less mile

but deeper words lie like seeds
you don’t have time to sort through
i have to keep it shallow
if i’m going to keep you

tell me that i matter
tell me that you care
tell me that you miss me
whenever i’m not there

but i hide my hurt from healers
secret wounds from friendly fire
if they knew they’d say walk away
but you are my heart’s desire

i walk into traps, i know the danger
you love who i am, but not me
i can’t ever ask you to…
so i smuggle my dreams inside memories

reach

Posted on by under Faith, God

if i climbed to the highest
would you know my name
if i hid in the lowest
would you still see my shame?

if i cry cause i’m lonely
would you send a friend
if i tell her goodbye
will i see her again?

why waste my wonder
on the skies i live under
cause You’re tryin’ to teach
let go of what is out of Your reach

if i walked in the fire
could you cool the flames
if i fell to the lions
would you make them tame?

if i follow my heart
will it be my guide
if i fell from the path
will you know that i tried

 

if i walked away
would you not give chase
if i was lost in the would
could i find your grace

if i could step from this land
and shake off the dust
if i could wake in a dream
i would still need You, Jesus

no fool

i writing more than i thought i could
i’m saying more than i probably should
maybe i will keep rambling on
till you come back to tell me you’re gone

yeah, you can tap me on the shoulder
and say, “look, we all grow older”
if you’re tired of reading my letters
filled with hope that things will get better

i guess i’m happier being sad
my only chance to make you feel bad
but i’m no fool, i know i know
you’re gone…for good…. for good.

you’re in love again, maybe for real
do you honestly tell him how you feel?
or let him guess like you did to me
i still speak of you hopefully

everyone thinks this is a just a phase
denial is help through the darker days
that’s what they whisper, yeah, i know
they say i haven’t yet let you go

meant the world

Posted on by under Getting Over It, Girls, Sad


so you ascended endless stairs
promises that proved out lies
you climbed higher than having to care
i couldn’t follow (believe me i tried)
i stumbled up to see your face
feeling unfit to leave the ground
your apathy i labelled grace
your words tore my wisdom down

you meant the world to me
but now the opposites true
everything i see
tells a tale of you

like a balloon is chased by children
you chose the freedom of the wind
never one for strong opinions
i cannot catch you on a pin
pull me by a heart-tied string
promise me that you will stay
burdened with the gifts i bring
you float far enough away

heaven

Posted on by under Faith, God, Hope

i wake in dreams and weep for joy
my sight no hope could hold
i see bright streets with crowds in song
the end of my road so long
and pierced hands pull faith from doubt
to lead a child home

no shame of self, no sad looks back
clear streams wash the past off of me
a new sun dawns the land in gold
a child is led home…

by pierced hands.

choice

Posted on by under Conviction / Doubt, God

 


i’m not a child full of fear
with monsters in my closet
i’m not a soldier in the trench
praying the line holds tonight

but i hide like a prisoner
when the warden says it’s time
i’m a guilty man running
from the music

i’m afraid you’ll find me
and ask me to explain
i’m afraid you’ll bind me
maybe it’s better that way

but no, you had to give me
a choice that i might not choose you
no, you had to give me
a voice that i could deny you
but i wouldn’t be loving you
if i didn’t choose to

i’m absorbed by the silence
there is nothing new to say
my heart spilled its feelings
a year ago today

clutching it close to my chest
i whisper i’m letting it go
not strong enough to surrender
not brave enough to run

i’m afraid you’ll find me
tear it from my fists
i wish you’d stand behind me
and push me through this

maybe it’s better that way…
