Fighting Temptation

This guilt I feel consumes me 
I want to let it out 
But I'm terrorfied of the consequences... 
I gave into temptation 
And now I pay the price... 
I'm so sorry for what I've done 
I pray that this isn't the end 
I pray that you can forgive me 
And we can still have our happily ever after... 
One single thought runs through my head 
Over and over again... 
I know what I need to do 
To finally get peace of mind 
But once again I'm consumed with fear... 
Fear of what you'll think 
Fear of what you'll do - what this will mean 
I messed up! That's all there is to it! 
And all I can say is 
I'm so deeply, deeply sorry! 
God was testing me 
And I failed horribly! 
Now I'm living in regret 
I'm completely stuck! 
Show me where to go from here 
Tell me what I'm suppose to do now... 
How do I make this right? 
I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! I'm so deeply sorry! 
For this incredibly stupid thing I've done 
Now I'm at your mercy... 
I can only hope and pray 
That you can forgive me 
Please stay here with me, 
Please dont run away

Chasing Butterflies

I'm haunted by the words you wrote 
Tell me what you want from me 
Don't tell me what I want to hear 
Tell me how you really feel 

I could be everything for you and more 
I'm telling you now I want more 
I'm telling you I want to be with you 
I want all of you... 
Do you want to be with me? 
Honestly? 

I know you're confused 
I'm confused too, confused by you 
It's okay to be scared 
I'm here for you, I'll hold your hand 
This is a risk I'm willing to take 
But the decision is yours to make
 
You write of walking a straight line 
I'm here to tell you that now's the time 
Now's the time to face your fears 
Now's the time and I'm right here 
Now's the time for us to shine 
Come on baby, let's chase those butterflies

Hold Me In Your Arms

Hold me in your arms 
Don't ever go away 
Stay here with me 
To see another day. 
Hold me in your arms 
Kiss me on the cheek 
Take me to bed 
And lay me down to sleep. 
Hold me in your arms 
As I drift off the sleep 
To dream a sweet dream 
And wake to see 
You're still here with me.

Key To My Heart

In the past 
I've moved too fast. 
There's so much to look forward to with you 
And I want to make it last. 
I've never been in 
A relationship like this before 
Where all the drama and jealousy 
Has gone out the door. 
When I'm with you 
I can finally be 
The kind of person 
I've always wanted to be. 
It's different with you 
It's hard to describe 
The way you make me feel inside. 
Saying "I love you" 
Brought us closer together 
Instead of tearing us apart 
I hope you know 
You will always have the key to my heart.

I'Ve Learned

I've learned to love myself 
Over these past couple months 
I no longer feel the need 
To be loved by someone else 
You can't love anyone 
Until you learn to love yourself. 
I'm no longer afraid to be alone 
For I know someday I'll find someone 
Who has proven and shown 
That he's the one worthy of my love 
Whose devotion for me 
Will sore high above. 
I've learned that life's too short 
To worry about the little things 
Enjoy the time you have 
Before nothing is as it seems 
Choose your path wisely 
And follow your dreams.

New Philosophy

Should I be doing this? 
I don't know? 
Should I keep going? 
Or just let it be? 
This definite attraction 
Is overwhelming me 
All of these thoughts and feelings 
Are making it hard 
For me to see clearly 
This is crazy! 
I don't know if I'm ready 
But then again 
Relationships are rarely easy 
These walls are building up 
All around me 
As a warning 
To tread lightly 
This is it! 
Time for a new philosophy 
Gonna go with the flow 
And just be me

I'M Ready

I'm ready to find the one who will hold me 
As long as I need them to... 
I'm ready to find the one 
Who I can start my life with... 
I'm ready to share myself 
Ready to share my love and passion 
I'm ready to move on with my life 
And finally find that happiness 
I've been craving for so long.... 
I'm ready to find that someone 
Who gives me butterflies, just thinking about them 
Who makes me laugh when I have a bad day 
Who holds me and says 
Everything's going to be okay 
Who knows me, inside and out 
Someone who wants to be with me 
Just because I'm me... 
Who will love me, in spite of my many flaws 
I'm ready to be in a relationship 
Where love conquers all, 
And nothing can bring us down... 
I'm ready to fall in love again 
Despite all the pain love has caused me 
In the end 
I'm ready to try again

Never Fading Away

Moment after moment 
Day after day 
I'm falling in love with you 
In every single way 
Every single word 
And everything you say 
Makes me fall more for you 
Never fading away 
Every time you look at me 
In your eyes I can see 
Anything and everything 
I could ever possibly need 
I love that when I'm with you 
I'm finally free to be 
The person I want to be 
Moment after moment 
Day after day 
My heart will always be yours 
Never fading away

Slipping Reality

What's happening to me? 
Am I slowly slipping away from reality? 
Have I really changed that much? 
Or is it supposed to be this way? 
Is my mom really right? 
Do you think I'll be okay? 
Am I really that bad? 
Should I put up a fight? 
Or is it all in my head? 
Take a look in the mirror 
What do you see? 
I see someone new... 
A different version of me... 
Tell me she's wrong 
Then sing me a song 
Say she's overreacting again 
And everything will be okay 
Am I slipping away?

My Resurrection

Confusion in my head 
From beginning to end 
Passion of the heart 
Again I start 
Over and over 
Games of art 
Pain inside 
Rips me apart 
Circles,cirlces,circles 
That's my life 
No beginning 
No end in sight 
Whos in the mirror? 
I don't recognize them... 
Puts me in fear 
My resurrection begins here
