Looking Forward To Tomorrow

Looking Forward to Tomorrow 

Verse 1: I had searched around for the love of mine for an awful long time 
My heart is on fire with gracious desire
Don't drag me down with your lack of confidence and your attitude, as sour as lime
You always point the finger at me, saying I'm the liar 
You drive me insane with your judgmental comments you throw at me
But I'm stronger than I realize and I'm a pilgrim in the world of woe and misery 

Pre-chorus: I will bite the bullet for you...I'll do anything for you too
I was losing self-control the moment you were gone 
Sooner or later, I will recover from this love flu
I have to move on and shine bright like the break of dawn 
I wanna show you that I have no regrets 
I wanna tell you all of my dirty little secrets 
With no trace of regret
I don't regret the time we met

Chorus: 
Tomorrow is another day
To shine on like the dawn
I will be having my way
Till my passion is gone 
Are you listening to the whispers I echo in your ear?
I am scared of the unknown and I'm trying to face that one and only fear 
Of losing you out of the blue
This love towards you ain't  something I can undo 
I can't help but say that I adore you 
And you are left without a clue
I was once in captivity, but now I'm free
I beseech your passionate touch, love of mine
Yesterday's tomorrow, I was walking on pins and needles, baby
All because I want to drink in your words, as bittersweet as wine 
Sorrow ain't on my mind,
Letting my high spirit unwind 
You are in my thoughts daily, I wouldn't sweep you under the rug
I'm addicted to you like my beloved drug 

Verse 2: my soul is begging for relief by the pangs of yesterday's sorrow
You give me hope in mind, reminding me that there's always tomorrow 
You lifted me up to cloud seven 
You were, at times, a hell in heaven 
Give me some space to think things through; it doesn't mean I don't love you anymore 
I'm struggling with these heartless sentiments...that knock me down on the floor 

Pre-chorus
Chorus

Verse 3: I'm crawling in my shell and I'm afraid to break free from my state of depression
I want to know if you love me sincerely and I always long for your affection
If I didn't have you, I would be an insecure, ignorant individual, walking around the City of Shame 
If I didn't love you, I would be this hated, jaded guy...always losing life's game 
Abide by my side 
Go along with the ride
I gave in to my lusts of my wicked heart...
I knew I was a sheer failure from the start...
The sun is shining my direction, but the cold rays of the moon are pulling me away from the light 
The stars in the sky are exposing the scars that I bore for years on end...wondering when I will fight the good fight 
Tonight, be my inspiration, my friend 
Alright, pardon my irritation and love me until the end

Pre-chorus
Chorus

Verse 4: My heart is jumping with cheer and joy
I'm no longer a kid's broken toy
Yesterday's sorrow will not hunt me down like prey 
I pray that tomorrow will be a way better day for me without a single dismay 
You make me feel like I'm significant and you crown me king of happiness
You seem to deal with me so perfectly and you healed me with words of gladness
You wiped away my tears of sadness that made me one with my madness
Time passes us by and there are butterflies in my stomach
After all this time we've been together, I still ache for that special love from above that I lack 
I will bite the bullet for you...I'll do anything for you too
I was losing self-control the moment you were gone 
Sooner or later, I will recover from this love flu
I have to move on and shine bright like the break of dawn 
I wanna show you that I have no regrets 
I wanna tell you all of my dirty little secrets 
With no trace of regret
I don't regret the time we met

Pre-chorus
Chorus 

Verse 5: You don't make me upset like a pile of debt would...promise me you won't grow cold 
I'm like the alarmed fish, caught in your infatuation net...it never gets old as long as we're bold
I've been trying to reach out to you by giving you my heart, 
Believing that you'd receive it as a priceless gift I'm wishing you'd keep with you...our friendship love is the most precious work of art that won't ever break apart 
Grieving because friends come and go...but tomorrow will give me a temporary lift 
I want to be positively sure that you won't depart from me 
I want you to know that you're the cure to my pain...you're my tomorrow's ecstasy 
We are stronger than we release
We are not alone
And we are not a failure -
That's the advice we should go by 
Tomorrow is going to outshine yesterday - that's no white lie
