i don’t know why
you’re lonely tonight
if it were up to me
you’d be happy
they say that you need to trust
they say it like it’s easy
but i know how hard it is
to believe
they say gettin’ all you want
won’t make you happy in the end
but what if all you want
is to be happy with a friend?
watch the water claim the valley
hear all the rainmaker’s brag
we finally got what we asked for
now we can’t give it back
like a scar on young skin
we will pay for our mistakes
thunder rumbles
as the last time crumbles
nature is more thief than giver
another town joins the river
heaven, i’m hiding in the garden
ashamed of what i’ve given away
i’m only a slave to strong emotion
crouching in the darkness of day
drag me out to face You
for sins i can’t deny
but You call me, You invite me
You let me choose to lie
overtake me and break me
put me together again
overtake me and break me
put me together again
heaven, i’d running far from you
chasing the desires of my heart
i’m afraid that all the plans i made
won’t save me when we’re apart
i’ve come to think that it’s my way
to chase the passion calling me
but it’s you who’s whispering my name
relentlessly
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
a guy in a blue tie told me you had died
i didn’t believe him but i sat right down and cried
he said he was sorry, he said that he would stay
he put a hand on my shoulder and i cussed it away
i was angry at him, but i don’t know why
he told me the truth when most men would have lied
i’m sorry now for the things i said
to the man who told me you were dead
there are so many questions, i say i’m fine
besides you lies this heart of mine
but i can’t feel, and i asked God
to give me the sorrow to keep you
as close tomorrow
your mom isn’t crying , isn’t that strange
your dad is different, yeah, everything’s changed
the preacher says you’re in a better place
they painted a smile on your face
there are so many questions
i saw i’m fine
beside you lies this
heart of mine
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
