I Could Watch You Smile Forever

( I do not own these pictures. If they're yours and you would like them removed, please let me know and I will do so. Thank you! )

I could watch you smile forever,

I could watch your precious laugh,

I could see your eyelids quiver

As you tilt your head back.

I know that you won't laugh forever,

And that every smile dies,

And so while we're still together

Let me take a picture of your smile.

She tells him jokes that aren't that funny

Desperate to see him laugh again;

Even though her jokes are corny,

He's more than happy to let her win.

I could watch you smile forever,

I could watch your precious laugh,

I could see your eyelids quiver

As you tilt your head back.

I know that you won't laugh forever,

And that every smile dies,

And so while we're still together

Let me take a picture of your smile.

He teases her, like boys will do,

As though he didn't like her at all;

He wants to see her cheeks turn red

Like the leaves do in the Fall.

 I could watch you smile forever,

I could watch your precious laugh,

I could see your eyelids quiver

As you tilt your head back.

I know that you won't laugh forever,

And that every smile dies,

And so while we're still together

Let me take a picture of your smile.

The baby cries like all babies,

But his mother doesn't mind;

It's worth it when he squeals for joy,

And she can say "He's mine."

I could watch you smile forever,

I could watch your precious laugh,

I could see your eyelids quiver

As you tilt your head back.

I know that you won't laugh forever,

And that every smile dies,

And so while we're still together

Let me take a picture of your smile.

Their little girl causes trouble

In the common two-year-old style,

But it's worth every broken vase,

When they get to see her smile.

 I could watch you smile forever,

I could watch your precious laugh,

I could see your eyelids quiver

As you tilt your head back.

I know that you won't laugh forever,

And that every smile dies,

And so while we're still together

Let me take a picture of your smile.

Still You

I see you in the moonlight,

I see you beneath the stars;

I see you as you once were,

And I see you as you are.

You've been many different "yous"

In the short years that I've known you;

Not one more you than another,

And not a one more true.

You still have the same sweet smile,

And the same twinkle in your eyes,

And though now you smile for different reasons,

You smile beneath the same blue sky.

I see you in the sunlight,

I see you beneath the clouds;

I see you as you used to be,

And as you are right now.

You're as changing as the seasons,

But you're still the same old you;

You've kept your morals and reasons,

If not the things you like to do.

You still have your hesitant laugh,

And the wrinkling of your brow,

And though you've change in many ways

You've always been as much yourself

As you are right now.

Welcome Home Again

It's been so long

Since I've seen you smile;

You're yourself again,

But it's been awhile.

We all missed you

When a part of you died;

You tried to keep to yourself,

But we saw you cry.

Did you know you were gone?

It doesn't matter now;

Just welcome home;

Welcome home again.

I hear you laugh

And my heart cracks;

It's so good to know

That you're back.

Where have you been?

Was it lonely there?

Was it silent and dark?

What made you despair?

Why did you stay so long?

It doesn't matter now;

Just welcome home;

Welcome home again.

I didn't notice

Just how quiet you'd been

Until you started

Letting me back in.

You've stopped keeping secrets

Like you did for so long;

Your color's returned;

Your ghostly pallor is gone.

You forgot what was wrong;

It doesn't matter now.

Just welcome home;

Welcome home again.

You've remembered the songs

That you used to sing;

You forgot how to fly,

Now you've found your wings.

You're not a new person,

Just the old one again;

We both made mistakes,

But you're still my friend.

Let's sing like we haven't for so long;

It matters more than ever,

So welcome home;

Welcome home again.

Rainbows

Yes, I'd like a rainbows

If I have to taste the rain,

And I feel myself victorious

When I get sunshine after pain.

Sometimes you worry needlessly

Because you don't understand,

But then you see my laughter

And the joy with which I stand.

I am not scared of sorrow,

For sorrow comes and goes,

And all it takes to beat it

Is this fact to know.

Yes, I'd like a rainbow

If I have to taste the rain,

And I feel myself victorious

When I get sunshine after pain.

I take no sword into this battle,

I need only words to win;

Only your words of comfort

To remind myself again.

Tomorrow is a better day,

If tonight I sleep with tears,

So I will stand proud and strong

Til the ending of my years.

Yes, I'd like a rainbow

If I have to taste the rain,

And I feel myself victorious

When I get sunshine after pain.

So some will try to hurt me;

Who cares? It matters not.

When the pain has left me,

I'll know my friend from he who's not.

Next time I'll expect it

When they try to bring me down;

Let them say what they will,

They can not make me frown.

Yes, I'd like a rainbow

If I have to taste the rain,

And I feel myself victorious

When I get sunshine after pain.

To everything there is a season,

And our Lord makes no mistakes;

He knows all that befalls me

And gives me no more than I can take.

So let me then look gloomy,

And let me shed my tears,

For until I have my human hour

I'm not really here.

Yes, I'd like a rainbow

If I must taste the rain,

And I feel myself victorious

When I get sunshine after pain.

Home

I'd like to get out of this place someday;

Maybe build a home of my own.

Don't worry about me,

You know I'll be okay,

I just need to roam, roam, roam.

Don't tell me to take care of myself;

You know I'm gonna do what I need to do.

I still don't know yet what I'll miss

Most about this place;

Is it you, or the part of me I'll leave with you?

'Cause you can never take all of yourself with you;

You leave little pieces of yourself

In every new place you call home.

You just have to take what of yourself you can,

Find someplace new, and carry on.

Oh, but the Lord knows that I'll miss you!

Please promise me that you're gonna call?

I know we may not be what

We hoped that we would be,

But we're still family and friends, after all.

You Just Think I'm Stupid

You just think I'm stupid;

Well, I'm not that stupid.

You just think I'm stupid,

But I'm not that stupid.

'Cause I know all about

What you've been saying

Behind my back,

And I don't like it;

No, I don't like it 

Anymore that the next girl.

You just think I'm stupid,

But I'm not, 'cause I know

You just think I'm stupid,

But I'm not that stupid.

You must just be stupid,

To think that I'm so stupid,

That I wouldn't know,

'Cause I do, and   

I know that I'm not;

You must just be stupid,

To think I like you calling me stupid,

'Cause I know, and I don't;

I don't like it anymore than the next girl.

You just think I'm stupid,

Well, I'm not that stupid;

You just think I'm stupid,

But I'm not as stupid

As you.

Whatever Makes You Smile

( I do not own this picture. If it's yours and you would like it removed, please let me know and I will do so. )

The fact is,

You know what the fact is,

That I never want to love,

Anyone else,

Anyone else.

But the fact is,

You know that the fact is,

That I'm just another obstacle,

On your way to someone else,

Your way to someone else.

Oh, and I want you,

I want you to do,

Whatever makes you smile.

This Never Happened

Let's just pretend this never happened,

It never happened to us.

It must have been someone else,

That we were thinking of.

Our love would never leave us out in the rain;

Our love would never fail us,

It will never fail us again.

That's just too much pain to bear.

So it never happened,

Let's just say it never happened,

It could never happen to us.

Our love is too strong, too perfect,

We've got too much trust.

I Cry

( I do not own this picture. If this picture is yours and you would like it removed, please let me know and I will do so. Thank you! )

There's no use in crying
Over things that you can't change;
They happen so dang often,
They're far from being strange.
but oh, ah, mmm, my; I cry.
I cry because I do care,
And there's nothing I can do;
The whole dang world should be scared,
And they haven't got a clue.
Oh, ah, mmm, my; I cry;
I cry because I do care.

An empty hospital bed;
God knows it's not the first.
They told me it's okay to cry.
But I don't want them to see.
But oh, ah, mmm, my; I cry.
I cry because I do care,
And there's nothing I can do.
The whole dang world should be scared,
And they haven't got a clue.
Oh, ah, mmm, my; I cry;
I cry because I do care.

Plans have changed once again;
Sure, that's okay; it's okay;
We'll try another time,
Just like you've promised every other time.
But oh, ah, mmm, my; I cry;
I cry because I do care,
And there's nothing I can do.
The whold dang world should be scared,
And they haven't got a clue.
Oh, ah, mmm, my; I cry;
I cry because I do care.

The fact that you have to go
Means that I shouldn't miss you;
Okay, okay, I'll let you go,
But hidden misery's still misery.
But oh, ah, mmm, my; I cry;
I cry because I do care,
And there's nothing I can do.
The whold dang world should be scared,
And they haven't got a clue.
Oh, ah, mmm, my; I cry;
I cry because I do care.

Billboards promoting garbage;
People hiding out with drugs;
Car crashes where no one stays,
To make sure you're okay.
But oh, ah, mmm, my; I cry;
I cry because I do care,
And there's nothing I can do.
The whold dang world should be scared,
And they haven't got a clue.
Oh, ah, mmm, my; I cry;
I cry because I do care.
I do care;
I cry;
I do care;
I cry;
I care;
I cry;
I care;
Cry.

Sammi and Johnny

( Okay, even *I* don't like this song! This is too ridiculously sad! Why did I even write it??? Sorry guys; I'm still trying to think up some verses to tack on the end to make it better; any ideas? :P :/   

Sammi spent each Christmas alone,

Sitting on her porch in the cold,

Pretending to be smiling,

While inside she was crying,

"Somebody come and keep me company;

Somebody, oh somebody come and sit with me!"

Johnny spent Christmas getting high,

On things that made his poor ma cry,

Pretending he was someone,

'Cause he thought he was no one;

A no one that no one could ever like.

"Somebody, oh somebody come and have a drink!"

Oh, Sammi and Johnny,

You're so alike;

If only you'd met then

Maybe things would be alright!

Poor Sammi was getting lonely,

And so she accepted a ride;

But his voice turned from honey,

To the chilly sound of ice.

Somebody come and set poor Sammi free:

"Somebody, oh somebody please come and save me!"

Johnny was found drunk on his couch,

A gun and a note by his head.

His mama kept on hoping,

But we all knew he was dead.

He hoped somebody'd bury him with tears;

Somebody's bury him beneath the willow tree.

Oh, Sammi and Johnny,

You're so alike;

If only you'd met then

Maybe things would be alright!

Farther and Farther

You said that you'd love me forever,

But then said you didn't know what love was.

You said that you weren't good for me,

But what was bad for me was your leaving.

And I'm so afraid,

Because I know you meant what you said,

And I don't know how to help you,

Because every time I try to give you wings,

You only fall
Farther and farther.

You didn't see me at the cafe,

But I saw you;

I saw things you'd never want me to see.

I remember how your eyes

Used to shine when you smiled;

I remember you used to stand

So confidently.

But now you weren't standing;

You were slouched over a coffee,

Tears sneaking from your eyes.

You were pretending to do the newspaper puzzles,

So the blonde at the next table would leave you alone.

You said that leaving would be

Better, so much better,

For me,

But I'm no better off,

And look at you!

You said that you'd love me forever,

But then you said you didn't know what love was.

You said that you weren't good for me,

But what was bad for me was your leaving.

And I'm so afraid,

Because I know you meant what you said,

And I don't know how to help you,

Because every time I try to give you wings,

You only fall

Farther and farther.

Terrible Feelings

How can I tell you how I feel?

What language shall I use?

You won't let me be until

I tell you what is wrong.

Shall I borrow the ice

Of the penguins?

Or the snow of

Polar Bears?

Shall I speak with the

Black of a crow?

Or shall I whisper with

The dark of a cave?

How shall I tell you where I hurt?

Can I cry it out with the tears

Of every storm cloud in the sky?

Can I pour it out with the

Blood of a gushing wound?

What metaphor, fable, rumor, or irony,

Will fully express my deepest

Regrets and least tiring wishes?

Speech is as weak as a bird

With a broken wing,

And as lazy as the wind on a 

Still, calm day.

Oh, how my heart is exhausted!

I'd really rather not tell you

At all.

But, as you must have an answer,

Or you will not go away,

What answer can I give you

That will be sufficient for

Your raging, ravenous appetite,

But will be safe enough

That all the "little birds"

In the world could do no

Damage with it?

You are a beast, a lion,

To put me on the spot

Like this.

Chose The Door

I thought I was the Queen of Hearts;

Now I know that I'm the Joker.

I hear our song on the radio,

And I had to pull over.

I can't take the sound of it anymore;

Not since I chose the door,

Chose the door,

Chose the door.

Not since I chose the door

Over you.

Welcome To It

Welcome to the goodbye;

Welcome to the hard times;

Welcome to the moment between going and gone.

And it's all my fault;

I take all the blame.

Yes, it's all my fault;

It never would have happened

If you'd never known my name.

Welcome to wet eyes,

Welcome to floodlights,

Welcome to crying at our old favorite song.

And it's all my fault;

I take all the blame.

Yes, it's all my fault;

It never would have happened

If you'd never known my name. 

Don't Dance

THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS! DON'T LET ME FORGET ABOUT IT IF YOU EVER WANT TO SEE THE REST!!! :)

Don't dance with me,

Don't ask me too,

For I just might

Want to come to you.

Dancing brings us

Closer than we need...

And then you leave.

Recalling

Can you recall the goodbye?

Can you recall asking why?

Can you recall the train,

The emptiness, the pain?

I recall these things,

But let's not sing about that.

Can you recall the farewell,

The standing on the stairwell?

Recall me saying that

There was no turning back?

I recall these things,

But let's not sing about that.

I can't recall if it was you,

Or I who hurt the other,

But I recall the tears and rain

Mixing with each other.

I can't recall the reasons why

We came to parting ways,

But I recall the loneliness

Of the nest several days.

Can you recall the nightmares,

And swearing that we didn't care?

Can you recall a long fight,

Followed by a long night?

I recall these things,

But let's not sing about that.

Lord of Light

(Guess what? I changed "dies" to "died" because Christ is the One who IS Crucified. I think it's a pretty awesome edit, if I do say so myself. X) 

The Prince of Darkness

Comes disguised as an

Angel of the Light;

I can't tell them apart

Sometimes.

The Prince of Darkness

Comes telling lies

Disguised as good advice;

I can't sort them all out

Sometimes.

I'm just wasting light.

Trying to fight the

Lord of Light;

I'd like to think that

I'm always right.

I have to feel so

Alone sometimes,

Before I remember 

The Lord of Light

Is the one who is

Always right.

It's good to know

He's on my side;

Don't know why

I forget sometimes.

Don't know why He

Even tries;

I should feel so

Humble.

I don't want you to

See me cry,

But I can't hide from

The Lord of Light;

He and His

Omnipotent eye.

Always know when 

I'm in trouble.

Lord, send your

Angel to comfort me;

God who made the 

Heavens and sea,

Before I even

Start to pray,

You hear my words

And You feel my pain.

Christ who dies

Upon the Cross,

When I think I'm

At a loss,

Bring me back 

To the Son,

And show me

What You won.

Bring me back to You,

Holy One;

Let me not forget

What you have done,

That I may sing

To the Crucified One,

The everlasting song

Of Thanksgiving.

Gone

Don't talk about me when I'm gone;

There's too much about me you don't know.

don't think about me when I'm gone;

The things you remember won't be true.

You never saw the Friday when things were just;

You never saw our last goodnight.

You don't know about when forever said goodbye,

Or the pillow covered in the tears I cried.

Don't talk about me when I'm gone;

There's too much about me you don't know.

Don't think about me when I'm gone;

The things you remember won't be true.

You never heard the thoughts I had,

So don't regret what you never said.

You don't know how hurt I was,

When I convinced they were problems everyone has.

Don't talk about me when I'm gone;

There's too much about me you don't know.

Don't think about me when I'm gone;

The things you remember won't be true.

You never saw how I appreciated honesty,
Or how I chose who I accompanied;
You don't know how I had to know when you forgave,
Or how small and scared I felt when you didn't quite say.
Don't talk about me when I'm gone;
There's too much about me you don't know.
Don't think about me when I'm gone;
The things you remember won't be true.
Don't talk about me when I'm gone,
Don't think about me when I'm gone;
Don't talk about me when I'm gone,
Don't think about me when I'm gone.
When I'm gone,
When I'm gone,
When I'm gone,
Don't talk about me when I'm gone,
Don't think about me when I'm gone.
When I'm gone,
When I'm gone,
When I'm gone,
Gone,
Gone.

Clickety-Clack

( Sorry; there was no happy way to end this song. I don't own this picture. If it's yours and you want it removed, please let me know, and I'll be sure to do so. Thanks! )

Your name, your name, called again and again,

Like it's racing laps inside your brain,

Clickety-Clack, Clickety-Clack, Clickety-Clack,

There's a girl on the track!

Just when you think you've gone insane,

You think of stepping in front of a train.

Clickety-Clack, Clickety-Clack, Clickety-Clack,

There's a girl on the track!

You wonder if anyone will care,

But if they will, they aren't there.

Clickety-Clack, Clickety-Clack, Clickety-Clack,

There's a girl on the track!

Your heart is pounding, boom, boom, boom!

But still you stand to meet your doom.

Clickety-Clack, Clickety-Clack, Clickety-Clack,

There's a girl on the track!

Now's your chance to change your mind;

Will you really leave them all behind?

Clickety-Clack, Clickety-Clack, Clickety-Clack,

There's a girl on the track!

You hear the nearing clickety-clack;

The train is coming with no slack.

Clickety-Clack, Clickety-Clack, Clickety-Clack,

There's a girl on the track!

You're feet stay frozen to the track;

Now there is no looking back.

Clickety-Clack, Clickety-Clack, Clickety-Clack,

There's a girl on the track!

How slowly the messenger seems to go;

Too late, too late, will your family know.

Clickety-Clack, Clickety-Clack, Clickety-Clack,

There's a girl on the track!

The laughter, the joy, the brightness of day,

The spring-in-their-step you have taken away.

Clickety-Clack, Clickety-Clack, Clickety-Clack,

There's a girl on the track!

Lonely

Can you explain to me,

Why I'm so lonely,

With so many dear people all around?

Can you explain to me,

Why I hear screaming,

When singing seems to be the only sound?

I can get so confused;

I'm feeling overused,

There's nothing but rain on the ground.

If we should meet by chance,

Give me a second chance,

To try and escape from this crowd.

Because to me

I feel most lonely,

When I have more than one or two

Dear people around.

Should I forget your name,

I beg you, please don't blame

Me;

My mind doesn't work so well right now.

And if you should by chance,

Think that you have glanced,

A tear on my cheek, please have your doubts!

Sometimes I'm so afraid,

 For reasons unexplained;

I've become my own worst enemy.

So please just be my friend,

Even if and even when,

I act like I don't want you around.

Because to me,

I still feel lonely,

When I haven't even one

Dear friend around.

People

(Everyone is unique. )

People come and people go.

People lie and people know.

People laugh and people cry;

People live, and then they die.

People come as girls or boys;

Neither like to share their toys.

People come in black and white;

Some have day, while others' night.

People come in hot and cool;

Some people work, some go to school.
Some stay small while others grow,

Some get joy, and some get woe.

People come in old and young,

Some are bored and some have fun.

Some are wed, and others' not,

Some don't have what others have got.

People come and people go.

People lie and people know.

People laugh and people cry;

People live, and then they die.

Welcome

I get the feeling I'm not welcome here;

Just give me a minute before I disappear,

To explain my reasons for coming here.

I just had to tell you one last goodbye;

After all the time we shared,

I jsut had to let you know

Somewhere deep inside,

There's a part of me that still cares.

Surely you have changed my life,

Though not for better or for worse;

If hello was a blessing,

Goodbye still is not a curse.

Stargazer

Stargazer, where have you gone?

The friends for whom I wrote my songs;

The one I thought I knew?

Stargazer, where have you gone?

Can't lonely only last so long?

Where is the girl I told my secrets to?

Stargazer, where could you be?

I carry your memory with me.

You don't trust me to trust you,

But that's not how it used to be.

Stargazer, come see me now!

Won't you come, and tell me how,

My friend sank into the stranger

That you now seem to be?

Stargazer, I don't know you!

But think of all we used to do;

Is there nothing time won't change?

Stargazer, you chose the stars,

And I chose the magic tune;

Tell me those words bring memories to you.

Stargazer, remember how,

We walked through woods,

Pushing back boughs,

Closer than we seem to be right now?

Stargazer, remember me,

When you think  of how

It used to be.

Stargazer, you were my friend;

You are my friend;

My friend you'll ever be.

Intense Reverie

 I can't help screaming tonight,

There's no use in dreaming tonight.

We both know this is one fight

That I can't win.

So give me one final kiss goodbye;

We both know it takes

Only once to die.

I never imagined-

But that's a lie;

At least once a day I

Imagine what it's like

To die;

A beautiful disaster in my eyes.

I can't help screaming tonight...

Ashes (Loyal To A Man)

Go ahead and take your turn,

Trying to mend a heart

That's already been burned.

Try to puzzle back the ashes,

If you think that you can,

But if no one's loyal to me,

How can I be loyal to a man?

Go ahead and hold my hand;

Try asking me what's wrong.

Try telling me you love me;

Interrupt my lonely song.

If you think you can,

Then try to make me smile;

I'm willing to give you a chance,

If you're willing to take awhile.

Go ahead and take your turn,

Trying to mend a heart

That's already been burned.

Try to puzzle back the ashes,

If you think that you can,

But if no one's loyal to me,

How can I be loyal to a man?

Go ahead and try my heart,

Or simply be my friend.

Try teaching me what love is,

For, seems I never really knew.

If you think you can,

Then try to make me laugh;

I'll gladly spend some time with you,

If you'll help me forget the past.

 Go ahead and take your turn,

Trying to mend a heart

That's already been burned.

Try to puzzle back the ashes,

If you think that you can,

But if no one's loyal to me,

How can I be loyal to a man?

The Cherry Sea (Carry Me)

( A little light-hearted tune. :) )

Carry me, Carry me,

Far across the cherry sew,

Where troubles are bubbles on soda.

Carry me, Carry me,

Far across the cherry sea,

Where everyone wants to go-a-go-a.

Then I'll see you smile,

And you'll see me smile too,

And when we both smile,

I'll be smiling with you,

And smiles turn to laughs

Just like other things do;

And we'll both be happy,

Like people ought to,

I-too-ee-too,

I-too-ee-too,

I-too-ee-too.

If You See a Candle Flame

Forcing myself to write something off the top of my head, because I've come up with nothing new recently... Let me know if it's any good!!!

If you see a candle flame,

Then everything is fine;

I will keep it burning

'Til I'm safe with you tonight.

But if it should go out,

Then at your window pray

That I'll be home safe again

At the coming of the day.

If you see a candle flame,

Then my love is yours,

If you will only welcome me,

With an open door.

But if it should go out,

Then my heart has turned,

And I'll be crying all the night

For the friend that I have burned.

If you see a candle flame,

I need a place to rest,

And a place with your company,

My dear friend, would be best.

But if it should go out,

I've found somewhere else to stay,

And I'll not being seeing you again

'Til the coming of the day.

We Are True

( Eh. Not my best. But, considering I finally have 3 new songs to post after such a long dry spell, at least it's something!!!

This piece of glass,

Here in my hand;

It represents

Everything

That's ever been

Broken.

You see this blood,

That stains the glass?

It represents

Every lie

That's ever been

Spoken.

So dont' ask me now

To love you forever,

Unless your are sure

We are true.

This heart of mine,

It has felt pain,

And I'm not sure

Anything

Has been so

Broken.

You see that boy,

With gloomy face?

He has felt pain.

It's my fault,

Because of lies

Spoken.

My heart lied to me,

So wait a little while,

Until you are sure

We are true.

I'll live alone,

If that must be;

I'd rather that

Than to be

Someone who is

Broken.

You see these tears;

My lonely hands?

My souvenirs,

From a lie-

From false feelings

Spoken.

So don't ask me now

To forget all that pain,

Unless you are sure

We are true.

Dear To You

( +Annalise Harrison  +Julianna Grobien  Juel, be sure you show Nain-Bird this, because I wrote it especially for her and Anna!!! :D

He bowed to you,

You bowed to him,

He took your hand,

And I watched you,

Spin and twirl,

And smile and dance,

Across the room.

It wasn't hard to tell,

No, not very hard to tell,

He was dear to you.

He bowed to you,

You bowed to him,

And he led you

Back to where you

Stood and smiled,

And watched and laughed

Across the room.

It wasn't hard to tell,

No, not very hard to tell,

He was dear to you.

He bowed to you,

You bowed to him,

He kissed your hand,

And said farewell.

You smiled and

Waved and watched, all

Across the room.

It wasn't hard to tell,

No, not very hard to tell,

No, it wasn't hard to tell,

Not so very hard to tell,

He was dear to you.

To Know Your Name

( Confession: This is, in my head, a song to be sung in a musical!!! <3 The problem: I only have a tune for parts of the song, I don't have any other songs for this supposed musical, and I have no ideas for a musical... :P

When I saw you,

I had to know you;

You had that kind of

Look that people

Want to know.

When I saw you,

I asked, "How do you?"

But you turned away;

Not a word did you say,

To make me smile.

But I would

Buy you all the roses

In the city;

I would draw your face

On all the walls and floors.

I would dance till all the

People called me crazy,

For I have a prize worth

Going crazy for.

If that's what I must do,

Then that's what I must do,

If that's what I must do,

To know your name.

Please don't say

I feel mere enfatuation;

It's not your beauty

So much as the smile

On your face,

And the way you hold yourself,

And the way that I first

Saw you in this place.

I don't need to

Be in love with you;

I just want to know your name.

So I would

Catch you all the birds

In the country;

I would paint your silhouette

On the windows and the doors.

I would sing till all the

People called me crazy,

For I have a prize worth going crazy for.

If that's what I must do,

Then that's what I must do,

If that's what I must do,

To know your name.

No, I don't need to

Be in love with you;

I am fine just to

Have a cup of tea,

If that's what I must do,

Then that's what I must do,

If that's what I must do,

To know your name.

I Hope They Know

I don't know how to tell you

Because I know it's going to hurt;

I feel like you gave me love,

And I'm treating you like dirt.

REFRAIN:

I hope they know you're not the one,

Who broke somebody's heart.

I hope they know you're not the one,

Who tore our bond apart.

I hope you know I never planned,

To cause you any pain,

And if there was another way,

I'd chase away the rain.

This doesn't mean that I'll stay,

Because that won't really be a cure.

It hurts more to live a lie,

Than to just walk out the door.

REFRAIN

I know I may seem cruel,

But I hope that you can understand.

It's like a friend once told me,

You're a boy- I need a man.

REFRAIN

Don't think I won't cry tonight,

And please don't think that I've stopped caring.

But this is better for us,

Than love that we weren't sharing.

REFRAIN

Super Sweet Silence

( Oooooh, this song is soooooo weird... Someone remind me why I wrote this when you're done reading it... The pics in this post are not mine. Please just let me know if it's yours and you would like it removed. I noticed two of the pics I had were watermarked- they weren't before, but apparently that changed. *sniff*- so I removed all the pics. If you have pics you'd like me to replace them with, that would be AWESOME.)

Black clad ghosts wave goodbye,

Giving a chance for their presence to sink in.

The tears you held back for the service,

Fall like rain down your cheeks,

But the room is full of a Super Sweet Silence.

REFRAIN:

Super Sweet Silence,

Bitter and sweet;

There's a time for everything,

And a time when everyone,

Must drink a cup,

Of Super Sweet Silence.

There's a time to talk,

To laugh,

To cry,

Or sing.

And then a time to do nothing,

And it's called Super Sweet Silence.

Two young people holding hands,

On the porch on a late Summer day,

And smiles crack their young faces,

As they think about their dreams,

But the porch is full of a Super Sweet Silence.

REFRAIN

 Someone stares at the moon;

Their eyes are like two great round orbs,

Their face is a blank sheet of paper.

Who knows what they're thinking?

But the night is full of a Super Sweet Silence.

REFRAIN

There's a void bright lights,

Made of changing colors man shall never see;

A place where nothing is solid or sure,

But everything is good,

And the void is full of a Super Sweet Silence.

REFRAIN

Twisted

( I haven't actually come up with a name for this song that I'm happy with, but I had to call it something, so this'll have to do for now. I know it's twisted, but listen: it's not meant to praise abusive relationships, but to draw attention to the problem. What better way to do so than to (try) to write a song from the point of view of someone in such a relationship. I didn't actually have someone in such a situation to get input from, so we'll see how this goes... I'm apologizing in advance, though, because this is probably the most melancholy thing I've ever written, and I expect a lot of decent people are going to get upset with me. Go ahead and yell at me if it makes you feel better; I can see where you're coming from, and I'm not sure there's a way I can out into words anything satisfactorily justifying this song...)

I'm not afraid of falling,

If I fall into your arms.

I'm not afraid of hurting,

If you do me the harm.

Your love can make me heal,

And my scars all fade away,

Like a melting ice cream cone,

On a sunny day.

So hurt me if you want to;

I'm blind to the truth.

I don't care what love is,

If it's not being with you.

My friends are crying over,

The mistakes they think I made,

As they each lay another,

Red flower on my grave.

They don't think you loved me,

But I don't care if they're right.

I want this fresh new grave stone,

Given by my knight.

So hurt me if you want to;

I'm blind to the truth.

I don't care what love is,

If it's not being with you.

Why (I Love You)

Why does 'I love you' always have to mean,

Goodbye, goodnight, or I'm sorry?

Why-Hi-Hi? Why-Hi-Hi?

It always kinda means, Always kinda seems

Like I've gotta leave;

Never comes out like 'you move me.'

Why-Hi-Hi? Why-Hi-Hi?

Why's it never really mean what you're trying to say?

Why's it always translate that you're going away?

Why-Hi-Hi? Why-Hi-Hi?

Why can't it ever be just 'I love you';

Why can't it ever just really be true?

Why-Hi-Hi? Why-Hi-Hi?

Dear Me

( I do not own the picture at the end of this post. If it's yours and you don't want it hear, please let me know. Thanks! Also, how well do you think the pictures match the songs they're posted with? Go to the post on Google+ and rate the combinations in the comments!)

Dear me,

I know you think that you're broken,

But please try to open,

Your heart again.

Dear me,

You can see that he's trying,

I don't think he's lying;

He's in love with you.

Dear me,

Just crawl out of your hole;

You need someone to hold

 You tight and strong.

Dear me,

He would do you some good,

If only you would,

Let him come in.

Dear me,

You need to stop crying;

It's time you were trying,

To let go of the past.

Stay

(Someone remind me- did I already post this??? :P)

I should've known better than to let myself go like that,

I should've tried harder to keep my heart in check.

But I never saw it coming,

So I never started running,

And now you've got me going,

 Head over heels insane.

I know I'm gonna regret this

At the end of the day,

But for right now,

All I want is for you to stay.

Stay, stay, love, just stay,

Stay, stay, love, just stay,

Stay, just stay with me.

I should've known better than to tell you my whole name;

Should've tried harder to avoid making more pain.

But I never stop for thinking,

I jump right in without blinking;

You know that this is how

I drive everyone insane;

It always comes back to haunt me

At the end of the day.

Oh, but right now, all I want is for you to stay.

Stay, stay, love, just stay,

Stay, stay, love, just stay,

Stay, just stay with me.

Someone Else's Shoes

You don't scare me,

And I don't scare you;

We're at a stale-mate.

I don't understand,

And you can't comprehend,

So we both underestimate.

REFRAIN:

'Cause I've never walked in,

You've never run in,

Someone else's shoes.

I can't judge you,

And you can't judge me,

'Cause we haven't got a clue,

What the others been through,

What the others been through,

Been through, Been through.

Things that scare me,

All turn out to be,

Nothing real at all.

But I don't like you,

And you don't like me,

So we never make time to call.

REFRAIN

Merrily (Originally called something else that I'm not telling you but you can probably guess)

This is a song of Half-Truths. I'll leave it to you to try to sort them all out and get it terribly wrong. :)

Merrily, Merrily,

I've reached a dead end,

Once again, once again,

I'm in need of a friend.

I think I'm falling for someone,

But not sure who.

Merrily, Merrily,

I'd do it again,

Just to see, just to see,

Where it would lead,

And hoping it could be,

Back to you.

Oh, but I know that I'm the wrong one;

Even when we've had some fun, it's true-

I'm the wrong one, quite the wrong one,

For you.

Merrily, Merrily,

It's an alias, my friend,

That I use, that I use,

Just so I can send,

All the songs that I meant,

Just for you.

Merrily, Merrily,

A false identity,

It fits me, it fits me,

It fits to a tee,

Since my world is less real than fake,

What can I do?

Oh, but I know that I'm the wrong one,

Even when we've had some fun it's true-

I'm the wrong one, quite the wrong one,

For you.

Merrily, Merrily,

Where will I go?

Seems to me, seems to me,

It's the end of the road;

My heart just can't see,

Past you.

Merrily, Merrily,

Silly singing to me;

What a tune! What a tune!

I should stop worrying; nothing's wrong,

But things I can't change,

If I want to.

Oh, but I know that I'm the wrong one,

Even when we've had some fun, it's true-

I'm the wrong one, quite the wrong one,

For you.

I'm the wrong one, quite the wrong one,

I'm the wrong one, quite the wrong one,

I'm the wrong one, quite the wrong one,

For you.

In My Dreams

In my dreams,

I can do anything,

And the world

Is anything I want.

In my dreams

My life is perfect;

That world is

My favorite haunt.

In my dreams

I'm never all alone,

Because each night

In my dreams,

I dream you coming Home.

Memories... (Again)

( I never finished the final verse, so here's the first verse and the first two lines of the last verse. Let me know if creativity strikes you, and you have some ideas for finishing the final verse! :))

Memories in black and white,

I'm flicking on the night light,

Since we faded away.

You told me it would be alright,

But I lie awake at night,

'Cause I will never be okay,

Again.

I just wanna be okay,

Again.

Scowl at monsters in the mirror;

Want you to get me out of here,
