Face The Day

I don't want to face this day

But I don't get that choice today

I just need a little time

But my time's not really mine

Today I have to wear that grin

That hides what's going on within

No one needs to know my mind

They just want me to be kind

I wish I could run to you

But you have other things to do

And I'm too old to act this way

I can't be myself today

Just say you love me one more time

Then I'll pretend that I'm alright.

Pray For Me

I don't mean a word I say;

Sometimes I just get this way.

I'll draw a map straight to my heart

And find my way back where you are,

So when my blues leave on the wind

I can unite with you again.

Pray for me dear, always pray;

That's all the help I need today.

Please don't forget, if I disappear,

All my love is yours, my dear.

Flowers And Flames

Tell me secrets

In the dark;

Let me find out

Who you are.

Whisper sweet things

In my ear;

Make me think

You want me near.

I was not made

To be loved;

I'm designed

For giving up.

Let me pretend

A day or two

I could belong

To a man like you.

My skin is but

A jail cell

Hiding my own

Private hell.

I wish that I

Could let you in,

But there's no getting

Out again.

Love -- a fun,

A dangerous game.

Can't have the flowers

Without the flames.

You'd be better off alone,

But I wish that I

Could call you Home.

All I Needed Was A Friend

Cut my heart up

Burn it out

I can't feel

These things

Right now.

Scrape my skin

To bloody shreds

Rip the thoughts

Out of my head.

Leave me crying

On the floor.

I can't take this anymore.

All the pain

You could inflict

Would never match

The pain within.

Why does my head

Betray me so

Taking me

Where sorrows grow?

I can't go

Through this again.

/All I needed

Was a friend.

Maybe I'm Not Good Enough

I can't make myself okay

I can't make it go away

I just need to feel loved

Maybe I'm not good enough

I can't keep the tears away

I can't make myself be brave

I can't make you understand

I just need to hold your hand

I can't stop my throbbing heart

I can't help falling apart

I just want to be loved

Maybe I'm not good enough

I can't have you here with me

I can't make you want to be

I can't help taking the blame

I can't help feeling ashamed

I can't help you when it hurts

I am not what you deserve

I want to make you feel loved

Maybe I'm not good enough

Can't Tell You No

It's far too late,

And this isn't right,

But I've been waiting for you

All of my life.

I've been waiting for you

For such a long time;

How could I make myself

Tell you goodbye?

My body is shaking,

And I don't know why.

My body is shaking,

And I'm out of my mind.

Can you feel it, too?

Can you hear me sigh?

I love you, baby;

I can't say good night.

I can't tell you no;

Couldn't if I tried.

I can't tell you no, babe,

And I don't want to fight it.

I long to be near you,
And I can't hide it.
So whisper softly in my ear;
I'll close my eyes,
And wish you here.
And when you're finally
At my side,
I'll pull you closer,
Close as you like.
Then you can kiss
My racing heart,
And we'll never have to
Be apart.

Invincible

I'm invincible

In your arms;

There I'll rest,

Safe from harm.

I'm invincible

By your side;

In your heart

I can hide.

I'm invincible

With your love;

You make me feel

Like I'm enough.

I'm invincible

Holding your hand;

I'm your girl,

And you're my man.

I'm invincible

When I see your eyes;

You smile at me,

And I'm satisfied.

I'm invincible

When you lift me up.

I'm not afraid;

I have your love.

I'm invincible

As long as you're here;

I won't leave,

Don't you fear.

I'm invincible

If I have you,

So let me say

I love you, too.
