When It All Began

You look at me 
And I wonder if you see what I see
All the flaws and imperfections
I wonder why I'm the choice of your affection 

But then again apparently 
Your no good for me 

But i love you
So what's my choice 
Besides id rather listen to my hearts voice  

You hold my hand and my heart 
As i think of how are love came to a start

Me looking for an escape 
From the pain and memories that haunted me 

And you knew it to 
"You walk with the pain on your shoulders"
And suddenly you seemed so much older

You knew and cared back then 
You weren't even my friend 

And i found out 
You loved me that day too
And thought if only you knew  

I hope that 
you my friend 
know my love will never end 
because I knew when it all began

A Real Man

I'm finally strong enough
To say I'm tired of this stuff 

I'm tired of crying 
And trying 
And dieing 

So yeah you were my best friend 
But that’s not how it happened in the end 

I spent two years on you 
Because my love was true 
But now I’ve found someone new 
Who is so much better then you 

He’s not cynical and cold 
He’s heard the stories that I've told 

He’s not hung up over some chick 
He doesn’t ask me to suck his dick 

He’s fine with my innocence 
I can keep it as long as I want 
And he wont taunt 

I finally see 
You weren’t the guy for me 

You were a loser 
And a user 
 
 And now I have guy who loves me as I am
One who Understands 
I have a real man

I Almost Died Tonight

I almost died tonight  
But I had to fight

A driver drunk as can be 
Almost hit me 

Heat pounding 
Legs shaking
Fear breaking 

I leap away from the murderous beast 
Just by a hair 
I can almost picture my self there 

Adrenalin coursing through my veins 
Thought and feeling that cant be tamed  

I could have just been dead 
Left broken and bleeding out 
Street covered in red 

Its all scary and surreal 
Everything around me I could feel 
Wind blowing 
blood flowing 

I almost died tonight 
But don’t worry I’m alright

If Our Love Should End

If our Love should end 
Will you still be my friend 
Will you cry for me 
Like I would For you 
Please don’t lie tell me what’s true

Will you stay by  me forever 
Or will you leave me here 
Like the man I once held dear 
Never again to hold me near 

And will I waste another two year 
Fighting of a thousand tears 
Feeding my enticing fear

What would you do 
If our love should…end

Forbidden Love

He sees her  beautiful, happy, yet some what sad 
And it makes his heart ache 
A feeling no one could fake 
 
She sees him unique, lovely, and wise 
Getting lost in his bright blue eyes 
And her soul cries 

There fighting day and night 
The unwinnable fight 
Between the heart and head 
And words unsaid 

There love is forbidden 
So they keep it hidden 

She wants to be happy for once in her life 
To never have a strife 

He’s looked for a girl like her in every place 
He doesn’t want just another pretty face 

So they give in 
and let true love begin  

And for once 
happily ever after doesn’t seem so far away  
With the sun shining down on that perfect day

Wondering/Doubting

I wonder all the time
If we were meant to be
The world is so crazy 
and my eyes are so hazy
I can  not see

Nor do I want to look upon that face 
And feel the feelings I cant erase 
 
I want you but I don’t 
I feel the passion burning on my skin
Yet at the same time 
I’m a icicle within 

All the voices in my mind
Swirl and twirl
And combined 

Some say to stay with you
The man I always knew

Others say to leave 
What you’ve done is to harsh for me

I fancy you 
And cannot stand your presence 

Is this the love I dreamed of
Or just a sad rollercoaster filled with shattered dreams

And  whose destroying them 
Is it you?
Or is it me?

So I’ll stay and wonder 
And I’ll doubt 
Is this what true love is about

I Want To Go Back

I wish to go back to that day 
where everything turned the other way 

I would not change a thing 
I would watch and listen 
As my heart starts to sings 

I wish to go back 
To when I was a little girl 
And everything was right 
When I never had to fight 

And I'd whisper to her 
never cry yourself to sleep at night 

I wish to go back 
To when I met my best friend 
When are memories had no end

To remind myself 
No matter what heartache or strife 
Friends don't let you solve a problem with a knife 

I'd go back to the time I held her in my arms and cried 
Because it wasn't fair 
To watch her falling apart right there 

I wish to go back 
I want to go back 
Please take me back!

But let me stay 
Because i want to look back on me at fourteen 
With my heart on fire 
And my eyes with a gleam
