Broken Window

I heard the sound of broken glass
 coming from somewhere in the past
inside the sound I heard your cry, 
 but I couldn't see the reason why.
The seasons they change
 Because God said said they will
and my world is standing still
The things we promised, Heaven or Hell 
 are lies that we both know so well.
And the pain we've given is coming back
 God will help us if we don't loose track 
And all the words that we have spoken;
 Have been waisted, in the window we've broken.

Tears Leave a Stain

Wiseman told me this day would end
He told me not to worry another one will begin
Wiseman told me not to carry this Long 
He told me somebody's traveling the same road I'm on
Wiseman told me tears leave a stain
He told me that the clouds had a purpose in the rain
Wiseman told me how to comb my hair
How to walk my walk and say I just don't care
He told me how to laugh and stand alone
And how to walk through the crowd
Wiseman was wrong! 
This day seems like it will never end
Feels the same as when it first began 
There's no one traveling this road I'm on
And I've been walking it for so damn long
And the clouds don't ever bring no rain 
But the tears do leave a stain 
Yeah the tears do leave a stain

Turned Your Heart To Stine

It's not that we're better because we are not
Sometimes love is served better cold instead of hot
So nine out of ten it's mostly me
I don't always take it so easily
So I looked back on my track and I see right where I went wrong
And I apologize I looked into your eyes and turned your heart to stone
It's not that I'm different I'm just a little scared
As you lay there crying you never knew I cared
And why would you want me I'm stained
No one will make you carry the blame
My heart is empty there's only tears
And you'll be long gone before the smoke clears

It's not that I love you my words don't come out right
I was just somebody that got to stand on your light
Yeah I look back on my track and I see right where I went wrong
And I apologize I looked into your eyes and I turned your heart to stone

Forever

As long as there is. Tomorrow I have hope for  another day as long aS you stand 
beside me I will never walk away 
As long as there is a night time the stars will shine for you, and as long as the 
morning follows girl I'll be following too.
As long as there is a heaven I'll make it through this hell, and along as I see you 
smiling I'll know our love can't fail.
And as long as I see you smiling I'll always touch you right, and I will love you 
forever, and forever is nowhere in sight.

No One But You , No One But Me

Have you been to the beach in the summer
 And felt the sun on your face by the shore?
Have you looked in the face of tomorrow
Just to see that it's just like today, nothing more?
Have you walked down the street when it's 
raining?
Did you think that it's not near enough?
Did you know that I can hear the thunder when 
I'm closer
When I'm closer do you want me to touch?
Have you ever been so close to comfort 
 But you never walked through that door?
Have you only had dreams of pleasure? 
Or are you one who always wants more?
Cause I'm here to give you the heavens
 I'd like to show you a star
No one but you knows I'm coming
 No one but me knows who you are.

The Pieces

I think love has been shattered
                                  and the pieces lie still,
                                and we dare not fix it
                                   because that's not how we feel.
                                I think there is darkness headed my way
                                   and I wished I could have given you
                                more reasons to stay.
                                but I know you walked out 
                                   to find a brighter trail.
                                 and I have no magic, no,
                                   no magic spell.
                                 I couldn't love you I'm not that strong,
                                    I think I've been broken,
                                 now my words come out wrong.
                                 So I'll just be quiet and sit somewhere near,
                                    cause love has been shaken and the pieces lie near.

In the New

She smiled and said she's coming
 she never made it here.
She smiled and said she loves me, 
 now I cry this tear.
She brought my dreams to life,
 but she's not allowed to stay, 
She smiled and kissed my forehead
 now all that's gone away.
People tell me she's in a better place,
 but I'm still in this hell.
She smiled and walked away
 Where she went time can only tell.
Some say its the simple things
 But I know that can't be true
She smiled and now I'm crying, 
 And the tears go into the new

Book of Love

You're the caffeine in my coffee 
 Sugar on my toast
You're the butter on my bread
 You're the one I like the most
You're the payday in my work week
 You're the ice in my drink
You're the ship in my ocean
 You're the reason I don't sink
You're the A and the B
 You're the best that's passed by me
You're the pillow on my bed
 You're my soft satin sheets
You're the mystery in my mind
 You're the one I want to meet
You're the sun in the morning
 You're the moon at night
You're the first cup of coffee 
 The keeper of the light
You're the best of the best
 You were sent from above
You're the greatest book I've read
 You're called the book of love

She brought my dreams to life

 Where she went time can only tell
Some say it's the simple things
 But I know that can't be true
She smiled and now I'm crying
 And the tears fall into the new

Behind the Sun

I'm no saint, I have no right to say
 Jesus Christ was murdered, but he's alive and well today
I don't have a chair, or a place where I am one
Yea I'm so far from home, blessings will never come
But I do know He's out there looking out for me
His love for me is crazy, so I'm going to bend my knee
I don't have no jewels to wear in my crown
I have been a sinner, Heaven I've never found
But when I tried to break free and join the other side
He made the valley's deeper, and deeper the more I tried
Today I stand here humbled there's nothing I have done
He reached down here and picked me
Then hid me behind the son
