Thank You God For Love

THANK YOU GOD FOR LOVE 

My love has come to stay 
In my heart forever more 
And has taken most of my pain away 
Making me happier than I've ever been before 
He need not say a word at all 
To make a smile come upon my face 
Looking in his eyes I can't help but fall 
It seems with him everything is in place 
A future that used to look dire 
And destined for nothing but heartache 
Has become something to desire; 
A love with passion and a bond to never break 
His every touch sends me to cloud nine 
Every kiss is like the first one 
It's hard believing he's all mine 
And I often get scared he'll run 
I cherish every single moment 
I get to spend in his eyes 
For I know he must be Heaven sent 
... Thank you God for finally hearing my cries.

I'M Sorry Daddy

There is a story
I was once told
About the glory
In growing old

I was 15- no longer a child
But too young still
To be running so wild
And chasing that reckless thrill

My daddy and I were fighting
But he sat me down to say
Stop speeding like lightening
You'll miss being a kid someday!!

Chorus:
I'm sorry daddy
I should've listened to you
But I couldn't see
All the pain I was about to go through

I was rushing to be grown
So I could just take flight
Get away from all I'd ever known
Oh daddy I wish you weren't right!!

Verse 2: I was 17 when my niece died
She was only ten
Oh I cried more than I'd ever cried
Wishing I could see her again

Life came at me fast
Cuz that same year I fell in-love
N watched the world fly past
Gave my boundaries a shove

Ya I got my wish to be free
N moved out of state
Took my love with me 
And it was so great

But I still am
Chorus x1

Bridge: Now I'm living with only momma at 24
Feeling my heart break
Cuz I can't see you anymore
And realizing I made a mistake

I should've cherished you then
When I had a chance
Should've not waited again
To share another dance!

Worth Waiting For

I don't need to close my eyes
To still see your face
Or to feel these butterflies
Coz thinking of you makes my heart race

I can't get out of my head
The feeling of our first kiss
And all the words you said
Have got me thinking this

Chorus: I didn't want to wait tonight
I just wanted you closer to me
But I know it's going to be right
Waiting to make you happy

Even with all the wanting it brings
I know there's something good in store
After all aren't all the best things
Worth waiting for

Verse 2:
I know we've both been broken
And it's always hard to think of
Trying to just be open
To the possibility of love

I'm not making any promises
But I'm not backing down so you know
I don't care what anyone else says
I wanna see where this could go

chorus x1

Bridge:
Who we were back then
Doesn't matter right now
As long as we're not the same again
Things will find their way somehow

Fate is what I believe in 
And there's no way to look past
That what's about to begin
Maybe meant to outlast!!

chorus x1

I Mostly Write Songs So This Is a Song I Wrote Called My Own Bliss

Deeper than I've ever cut 
I'm tired of these nights alone 
But I don't know what 
To do to make it on my own 

I've tried and tried 
To find a way through 
Then I cried and cried 
Cuz I always miss you 

Chorus: 
When will that day come 
When will I find I'm better off without 
Can I not be numb 
And still find my own way out 
Cuz I'm tired of fighting this rain 
Through this storm of ugliness 
Right now all I feel is pain 
So when will I find my own bliss 

Verse 2: 
Sure I'm stronger than I used to be 
And I've come a long way 
But how can I not see 
The happiness of that final day 

Is fate bringing me closer 
Or will it be like it was before 
Maybe I'll look back and this will all be a blur 
All I know is I don't want to hurt anymore!! 


Chorus x2 

Bridge: 
Tell me when does it end 
The pain you caused me 
While pretending to be my friend 
Now that I've broken away and I'm free 

You damaged me deep inside 
It's taken a while to mend it 
But it's too hard to completely hide 
And I will never ever forget

Butterfly

A butterfly so beautiful and free
Starts out as a flightless bug
A caterpillar not so pretty
And furry like a rug

The change doesn’t come over night
No it takes many days
But its cocoon wraps it tight
And transforms it in so many ways

We are like these butterflies
Before they have changed
We must let out all our cries
And get help to be rearranged

Like the branch holds the cocoon
We hold onto each other for a while
And it may be just as soon
That the changes, just like butterflies, make us smile.

Never Witness Me Fall

Chorus: 

I may crumble, I may break 
But I will continue to stand straight 
Yeah, you won’t see me move at all 
For though I crumble and I break 
You will never witness me fall 


Verse 1: 

Make no mistake 
What I speak is the truth 
I leave in my wake 
The innocence of youth 

Ignorance is not tolerated 
Stupidity is just ignored 
Fact is the only thing stated 
Feelings are things to be stored 

This pain can’t be released 
I will shelter those I know 
Yeah, until the day I am deceased 
I will not let this go 

Chorus x 2 

Verse 2: 

So let’s see your best shot 
I’d like for you to test me 
And I’m sure you want to a lot 
Then you will finally see 

I will not be broken 
No matter what you do 
Yeah no matter what words are spoken 
Or what you try to put me through 

I will smile and hold it in 
Still standing on solid ground 
You can try to reach me within 
But I won’t be pushed around 


Bridge: 
So think about this before 
You put effort into my demise 
I’ve hurt worse than this before 
And you could only see it in my eyes 

But that’s only when you look closely 
From the outside you can’t tell 
No one can really ever see 
When I’m making it through hell 


chorus x 2

Fear I Can'T Let Go

Look me in the eyes
Tell me what I mean to you
And a little pain dies
Knowing we'll make it through

I feel the past in me 
The scars on my skin
But I wonder if you see
All the scars that are within

Chorus:
I have been cheated
I've been wronged
I've felt defeated
But still gone on

I hide the pain
Cuz I don't want them to know
That all that will remain
Is fear I can't let go

Verse 2:
I feel safest here
Amongst the shadows
So used to being near
The darkness that grows

It overtakes me once in a while
Makes me feel alive
And I can't help but smile
Cuz I know I'll always survive!!!

Chorus x1

Bridge:
I've been beaten
I've been used
All the mistreating 
From being abused.

Yet here I stand now
Not showing all the scars
Made it through hell somehow
Now I'm shooting to the stars!!

Chorus x2

I Give You the Chance

Woke up this morning
Lying next to you
And without any warning
My feelings grew

Said I'd never believe again
Cuz my heart is still aching
But I didn't know you then
Guess this is the risk I'm taking

Chorus:
I give you the chance
To break me down
Or share this romance
And stick around

I'm letting you hold my heart
And you can set it free
Or break it apart
But I'm hoping you'll just love me!!

Verse 2:
I had walls built so high
Didn't think anyone could scale
Or would even try 
But you showed me you wouldn't fail

Even when it really seemed
Like love wouldn't go my way
You became everything I've ever dreamed
And took my breath away!!

chorus x1
Bridge:
My happiness is in your hands
But I'm not at all afraid
Cuz ur the only one who understands 
How faith is made

THis isn't only lust 
It's so much more
Cuz ur the only one I trust
Will make it so I don't hurt anymore!!
Chorus x1
