have a nice life

Posted on by under Getting Over It, Girls

it’s over, it’s closure
it drifts out to sea
i’m breathing, i’m better
i’m finally i’m free

from crumpled pieces of paper
i could never send
nothing ever said what i wanted to
but i found my heart and changed my mind
i hope i’ve seen the last of you

don’t live in the past
it was never meant to last
just “have a nice life”

december was magic
but magic is a lie
we both found the truth
one sad july

you kept breaking my heart
and i’d come back for more
but i’ve opened my eyes and
i’m ready to ignore

i won’t live in the past
it was never meant to last
i’ll “have a nice life”

used to missing you

Posted on by under friends

i don’t know whether to laugh or cry
i love your voice, but miss your eyes
are these feelings i should hide from you?
i have no one else i can tell them to

yes, it’s weird not having you here
but friendships never disappear
don’t feel bad, please don’t cry
this is my side of saying goodbye

if i did not know you so well
i could lie and say i’m fine
but you can tell
i’m not used to missing you

you’re so happy, you should be
love has found you finally
for your man, i understand
why you walk away

i don’t know if it’s right to say
but it feels like i’m giving you away
so do not ever regret
and do not ever forget

love makes you

Posted on by under friends, Getting Over It


i’m not close to seeing things your way
i rethink, it all comes out the same
i am the victim, and you are to blame

ok i may have bet too much
on hoping that you’d come around
you had the power to heal, you cut me down

but you can’t walk away
from everything you did not say
you cannot make today
out of yesterday

i hope you get to see the world
i pray that part of it breaks you
cause you need to know
it’s only love that makes you

so i guess i’m a tied loose end
i always wanted to be your friend
now it’s ugly, shoved in a closet
and you’re trying to forget

just friends

Posted on by under Girls, Sad


i’m sorry
i just had to tell you that i loved you
you had your suspicions
and i proved them true

you sat me down
with tears in your eyes
you sat me down
made me realize

i’m not the one for you
you said…

can’t we just be friends?

i thought i
gave you what you asked for
we were friends
and nothing more

but i guess that
was still too much
now you say
let’s just keep in touch

new meaning to old words that broke my heart
i say…

can’t we just be friends?

hope seems lost

Posted on by under Faith, Girls, God, Hope, Love


your kiss is sweet in mystery
to others, not unknown
i long to feel your softness
touch this heart of stone

like a whisper held in thunder
is my prayer under my tears
to keep me safe and searching
till you find me waiting here

it seems all hope is lost
but i don’t despair
i know God can hear my prayer

if we were meant to face our lives
together, hand in hand
then that makes clear emotions
i don’t yet understand

but i still seek the sun
here in my darkest hour
i will not test your love
on the pedals of a flower

hopelessly fallen

Posted on by under Getting Over It, Girls

hopelessly fallen so deep in her eyes
i drop in my quarters, she isn’t the prize
she is a queen and i am the joker
muttering curses to the guy who broke her

i’m expensive dessert, she’s already full
she’s a new sweater, i’m the thread you pull
she’s beautiful so bittersweet
admittedly out of my reach

hopelessly fallen but i still get advice
they throw dirty looks not handfuls of rice
pick myself out of this pit of fantasy
where i lie and wait for her to choose me

i know they are right, i know i should go
to the calm of the cliff and watch the river flow
and see that the current will take her away
realize that heaven must shrug when i pray

when i grow up

Posted on by under My Favorites

when i fall you feel the pain
when i thirst you pray for rain
when i try you cheer me on
when i win you say you knew all along

you gave so much to teach me
the lessons, they didn’t always reach me
of all i’ve learned, i know this is true
i could not ever stop thanking you

i may not say it that often
but i hope you know it’s true
when i grow up i want to be
just like you

when i cried you wiped the tears
killed the monsters and calmed my fears
when i stayed out i knew you’d worry
when i slept, you prayed over me

you make it look so easy
it’s what i dream to be
i hope you finish what you’ve begun
i’m so proud to be your son

unmistakable

Posted on by under Faith, Girls, God, Hope, Love

it’s quite foolish of me to say
i have even hope to pray
for a miracle greater than splitting the sea
for God to drop her in love with me

but David saw giants and gathered some stones
Samson, surrounded, had just a jawbone
Daniel survived in that dark lion’s den
don’t get me started on Gideon

you have the power, you have the plan
you know the rib missing from each man
so i ask, Father, make her mine
if she’s not, send me a sign …unmistakable

she is bright lightning in my sky
heaven sent, sure, but why
for the beauty, the awe, for me to see
or to destroy like skin to electricity

i don’t know if she’s good or bad
just the best hope i ever had
oh how i want her, i have no chance
but, God, You can give me romance

tattoo

Posted on by under Conviction / Doubt, Faith, God

tonight i look back on my life
i think that you would like to see
me by the fire, out in the crowd
saying, “no, he aint’ with me”

because i cannot claim to be
someone who knows the truth
when i can’t even walk in your way
everyday of my life is proof

but You tatoo me
Your word in my heart
You tatoo me
we’ll never be apart
help me live up to
this tatoo

play the music, pull me offstage
i’ve done my damage to Your name
You let me hold up a banner for You
while i’m a slave to flesh and flame

so when i deny You, are You glad
You don’t have to speak for my sins?
but when i weep, You hold my hands
You know that i’ll do it again…

what God intends

Posted on by under Girls, God, Sad

lifting up prayers like torches
to light this shadowed land
a cry for something solid
some simple i can understand

i am looking for some treasure
some weakness to defend
i am looking for her love
but it’s not what God intends

i am looking for a goddess
to bow and kiss her hand
i lift up prayers for things
God does not have planned

a flame up to this dry hope
i seer these words in my mind
that not every priceless treasure
is meant for me to find

i’m knocking at a door
i think opens up on home
a mirage in desert sand
it’s my reason to roam

but i’m crying for attention
her care to keep me warm
i crawl into her life
shelter from the storm

she is what i can’t pray for
she is the treasure to defend
she is the rainbow in my sky
she is not what God intends
