Strong
One tick closer to midnight
Grab on and hold on tight
Is this not the ride you were looking for
Yet here you are wanting more
Turbulent times up ahead
I'd Probably , be better off dead
That is something in which I feel no dread
Fighting the thoughts that fill my head
Stuck in the circle of life spinning round and round
See your talking but I can't hear a sound
Don't you know life says I'm hell bound
One step closer to the end of the line
I hear you call yourself a friend of mine
But where were you when I really needed you the most.
You now will have to live with that ghost
Taking one step closer to the other side
Feeling all the emptiness inside
When you walk on the wrong side of the track
All you do just means the further you are set back
Setting yourself up for a heart attack
Rise and shine
Won't you be mine
Then one day or maybe another
Life hits you and you start to smother
Walking two feet above the floor
Head so big it wont fit through the door
But here you are still wanting more
Lost between the tick and the tock
I done forgot to wind that clock
Looking back it was really grand
But there are still things I don't understand
Who put it all together just don't know
But it fell apart at the first blow
Love isn't strong enough to withstand.
Life without a loving hand
That ring sure didn't bind
Cause you sill went and left me behind
Love grows then it will die
Leaving you there alone to cry
Walking away from all I know
No clue to where it is I go
But here you call me on the phone
So sorry you left me there all alone
And here you are still wanting more
But that all ended when I was shoved out that door
Somewhere there in between the right and wrong
A place where our love wasn't that strong
I gave all I had
And that seemed to make you glad.
And me so sad
I reached up to help you soar
But still you just always wanted more
Hearts sometimes break
That's just the chance you take.
It's just the pain that follows in it's wake
Puts me one step further from you
One step closer to something new
One step closer to someone true
Cause now it's me and I'm wanting so much more
It is now time for my heart to soar
