More Than Just Love

REFRAIN
There's more than just love that can break your heart;
I know, I know, I know because I know you.
There's more than just love that can break your heart;
I know, I know, I know that hate can do it, too...
Any number of things can do it, too...
I know that hate can do it, too.

You walked into my life,
And you walked out again.
You've got my head spinnin',
'Cause I can't start over;
I can't start all over again.
I know, I know, I know I can't start over again.
REFRAIN

It only took a sec
To know you were in pain,
So why'd you have to go
And hurt someone again?
You went and hurt me once again.
I know, I know, I know I hurt all over again.
REFRAIN

There's more than just love that can break your hear;
I know, I know, I know because I know you.
There's more than just love that can break your heart;
I know, I know, I know that hate can do it, too...
Any number of things can do it, too...
I know that hate can do it, too.

It's not that I love you;
I just can't not miss you.
Not that I understand;
I miss how you hate me,
And I miss how you confuse me...
I know, I know, I know that I just can't miss you, too.
REFRAIN

Don't ask me to explain;
You never did for me.
I don't mean to confuse,
But I feel confused, too;
Don't lie and say you miss me, too;
I know, I know, I know that I just confuse you.
REFRAIN

There's more that just love that can break your heart;
I know, I know, I know because I know you.
There's more than just love that can break your heart;
I know, I know, I know that hate can do it, too...
Any number of things can do it, too...
I know tat hate can do it, too.
Oh man, I don't really hate you;
I can't really hate you anymore.
Oh man, how much I miss you;
I can't lie to myself like I lie to you...
Oh man, hate can do it, too.
Hate can do it, too.

Darkness of the Blind

(*Sniff* If you don't like sad songs, just skip this one. I have no idea what made me write it. Also, it's another old one, so it's not as well written as some of my other songs, IMHO.)

REFRAIN:
Funny thing is, I've got no memory of that,
And you keep bringing it back;
Images keep flashing in my mind,
Of things that you claim I left behind.
And I wish that it was true,
'Cause I think I'm in love with you,
But when I search all that I find
Is the darkness of the blind.

I woke up in a hospital bed,
And on my lap, there lay your head.
In your eyes I spotted tears;
Enough to last a thousand years.
My finger wore a golden band,
And I noticed another on your hand.
REFRAIN

They talk to me like a little kid;
Their eyes speak of things their words keep hid.
They tell me that I was in the car,
When a drunkard drove a little too far.
They give me drugs to kill the pain,
But I still feel the pain of this fog in my brain.
REFRAIN

You show me pictures of our stranger child;
Your eyes are those of a man gone wild.
I say I'm sorry I can't help you,
But I don't remember if what you say is true.*
You look so sad as you walk away...
All because of someone who shouldn't have driven that day.
REFRAIN


* But I can't remember what you want me to?

Just Friends Again

( This is an old song... I've hesitated to post it, because I thought it was kind of... I dunno... weird. :P Now I'm just like, "whatever." So, here it is. Worth a few laughs, or a few tears, if nothing else. Like I said. Whatever.)

Boy: Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful,
Soft, good, wonderful, kind;
Love, not love, love, not love...
Anyone could be beautiful;
Anyone could be good,
So even though you are,
It's so hard to be sure.
Just friends again,
Just friends again;
We're just friends,
Again, and again, and again.

Girl: Precious, precious, precious,
Sweet, silly, happy, smart;
Love, not love, love, not love...
Just what makes one precious?
Just how are you sweet?
One minute I feel so certain,
And the next I just can't be sure.
Just friends again,
Just friends again;
We're just friends,
Again, and again, and again.

Both: Difficult, difficult, difficult,
Hard, painful, scary, sad;
Love, not love, love, not love...
But why is it so difficult to leave?
And why is it so hard to say goodbye?
There are lots of good scary things,
But* it's still hard to be sure.
Just friends again,
Just friends again;
We're just friends,
Again, and again, and again.

Freedom, freedom, freedom,
Single, independent, alone, free;
Love, not love, love, not love...
They call this freedom,
But it doesn't feel free;
I miss the comforting feeling
Of you sitting next to me.
Just friends again,
Just friends again;
We're just friends,
Again, and again, and again.
I wish we weren't
Just friends again,
Just friends again;
Why are we just friends,
Again, and again, and again?
We shouldn't be
Just friends again,
Just friends again;
It hurts being just friends
Again, and again, and again.


*So?

I Know You

I know you,
I know you;
I know that you know me.
I know you;
I know you;
I know you're just too sweet.
Yes, I saw you yesterday
On the street.
Yes, I hear you call my name
And repeat.
But I didn't know what to say,
And you're so sweet,
I had to run away.
No, I didn't know what to say
Should we meet,
Except I know you.

I'm Not Afraid

( I do not own this picture. If it belongs to you and you would like me to remove it, please let me know, and I will. Thanks! )

I'm not afraid of falling,
Cause I'm not afraid to break.
I'm not afraid of dying,
Cause I've made enough mistakes.
I'm not afraid;
I'm not afraid.
I just want you to know
I love you
Before I go.
I'm not afraid of crashing,
Cause I'm not afraid to burn.
I'm not afraid of loving,
Cause I'm not afraid to learn.
I'm not afraid.
I just want you to know
That I love you
Before I go.
Too many times I've been
Afraid to cry.
Too often I haven't thought
To ask myself why.
It's time to let it go,
And let them think what they will.
I would jump off of here
Just to see the world stand still.
Because I'm not afraid;
I am not afraid.
I'm not afraid of looking,
Cause I'm not afraid to lose.
And I'm not afraid of smiling,
Cause I'm not afraid of you.
All this time I've been hiding,
I've been keeping it in,
Never once believing,
Not confiding in a friend.
But now I'm not afraid,
And before I go away,
I want you to see,
You've always meant
The world to me.

Feelings

She says a beautiful night can make you blind;
She lays her head on my shoulder,
And says she hopes I don't mind.
I tell her to take as long as she needs.
She says she doesn't believe in miracles;
I tell her she's a miracle,
She says a miracles just the thing she needs.
She says she doesn't know how to love me;
I say it wouldn't hurt her to try.
She starts crying and I wish I hadn't;
She says she sorry and goodbye.
I'm alone in the darkness;
She's alone in the night,
And I wanna go find her,
But it doesn't seem right.

Don't You Know

(I do not own these pictures. If they're yours and you want me to remove them, please let me know, and I will. Thank you!)

Third times lucky, so they said,
But also three strikes and you're dead;
Makes me scared to love again,
Don't you know?
Everyone lies, or else they leave;
I just want someone who's there for me,
And makes me want to fall in love again,
Don't you know?
Handsome's fine, and so is charm,
But what I want's an "I'll do no harm,"
And a man to teach me what trust is again,
Don't you know?
So if you feel like me,
Then go on and grab a seat;
I'm willing to talk at least.
You're a refreshing change
From the views of the modern age,
And at least we could be friends.
Don't you know,
You feel like my first time again?


Take Me Somewhere

(I do not own this picture. If it's yours and you'd like me to remove it, please let me know and I will. Thanks!)

I got my nice clothes on;
I'm ready to go somewhere,
If you'll only take me,
Baby.
So just-a grab your keys;
Would you if I said please?
It's the perfect night
To go for a drive,
If you'll only take me
Somewhere.
So baby, don't say no;
Us to could take a stroll.
I'm all dressed up to go
Somewhere.
*Tonight is perfect, see?
It's just-a you and me,
If you'll only take me
Out there.*

** I can not make my mind up on these lines. I've edited them and edited them, and I can NOT get something I like perfectly. -_- :P




Stop Hiding

You've got secrets to hide
And mistakes to cover;
You don't trust your best friend,
So you're finding another.
You like your grays
More than the blacks and the whites;
Day time comes, and you wish it was night.
REFRAIN(?):
Oh, my friend,
I can tell you think you're broken.
You're always trying to change yourself;
You're a mix of contradictions.
Oh, my friend,
I can see you don't know who you're meant to be.
You've got a long line of ex-friends on your shelf,
And you're whoever you think will make them pleased.
But oh, my friend, just listen to me;
You're the only one you're ever gonna be.
Promise me you'll stop hiding.

Sleep, Little Sister

( Posted this awhile back on FB. Can't believe I haven't posted it here yet!!! Anyway, now I have. :) Also, I do not own this picture. If it is yours and you would like me to remove it, please let me know, and I will do so. And if you have ANY pictures you would like to donate, that would be absolutely lovely! Thank you much! )

Sleep, little sister,
Who makes all my world bright;
Sleep, my sweet sister,
'Til morning light.
Sleep, little sister,
With sweet dreams,
Sleep tight;
Sleep, little sister,
For all is well in the world tonight.
