Broken

Some days I question do I wish
That we had never met
I wouldn’t spend my days and nights 
Trying to forget

I wouldn’t feel this unrelenting
Agonising pain 
I wouldn’t feel this lost; knowing
I’ll never be me again
 
My heart would not be shattered; crushed
Damaged beyond repair
I wouldn’t live tormented
If that day you’d not been there

But if our paths had never crossed
If we had never met
Would I feel complete
If there was nothing to regret

I’d choose the pain a thousand times,
For every moment we were true,
I’d rather live with shattered dreams
Than face a world that’s never known you.

If fate brought us together
You and I were meant to be
So why am I alone now
If you were my destiny

And could I ever love someone
The way that I loved you
Or would I search a lifetime 
For that love that I once knew

So my choice is to feel this pain
For memories I’ll always recall
I would rather have loved and lost
Than to never have loved you at all

Accepting this life isn’t easy
But no longer can I pretend
My fragile strength is all gone now...
I'm broken…I cannot mend…

I'm Nothing Without You

You were the reason for my smile
But it's been vacant for a while
You are the reason why I’m here
I’m nothing without you

You are the reason for my song
The tears I’m crying all night long
Where did you and I go wrong
I’m nothing without you

No one here to see me cry
When you tell me one more lie
No one here to watch me die
I’m nothing without you

My colourless existence 
Fades to blue
Every dream that I dreamed 
Slowly slips out of view

Every night feels so empty,
Every day feels so long
Since the moment you left me
All the light is gone

If love was our forever
Tell me what I should do
Cause I’m lost in this life
I’m nothing without you

Remember what we used to be
Now your shadow lives inside of me
You never hear me when I plea
I'm nothing without you 

Now I’m lonely, sad and free
Fading in your memory
Your arms are where I need to be
I’m nothing without you

No more sunshine; only rain
No more laughter; only pain
Forever lonely I’ll remain
I’m nothing without you

I know my broken heart won't mend
I know I’ve lost my love, my friend
I know my life has reached its end
I’m nothing without you...

One Last Time

I feel your breath upon my cheek
Your heartbeat next to mine
Cradled in your arms; but know
It’s just for one last time

I look into your eyes: you smile
That smile just breaks my heart
Lying here so close, but know
We’re really worlds apart

As I watch you sleep
A single tear falls from my eye
I know deep down your leaving me
I know this is goodbye

I close my eyes and silently
I pray to God above
That I will wake from sleeping
Still beside this man I love

As I pray he looks at me
And gently wipes my tears
He holds me in his arms
His whispers chase away my fears

He tells me that he loves me
How much to him I mean
But suddenly I realise
It’s really just a dream

For when my eyes are open 
In the cold cruel light of day
I know my prayers weren’t answered
I know he’s gone away

What do I do now
How am I supposed to feel
How do I move on
Do I bleed, or do I heal

Do I face the truth
Or do I live on lets pretend
But sadly deep inside I know 
We've reached our journeys end.. 

If loving you could make you stay
You’d still be here with me today
But dreams must fade with morning light
So I’ll love you still… but say goodbye...

Please Listen To Her Prayer

While you’re watching over all your children from above
Listening as they send to you a prayer
Please God will you take some time to listen to my child
And find a way to let her know you’re there

Through the years she suffered a very tragic loss
Her happy life was shattered; torn apart
She tries so hard to hide the lonely tears she cries at night 
She tries so hard to hide her broken heart

Through the years she put aside her sadness and her pain
And found the strength to be both mum and dad
She never let them see the hurt, they only saw her smile
Although she’d lost the only love she had

She's struggled through the ups and downs that losing someone brings
She battled on and fears were cast aside
But every day I see the hurt and pain I know she feels
I see the unshed tears that fill her eyes

But now I see her worrying for someone else she loves
Her child...her precious life and soul
I watch the pain and sadness returning to her life
I watch the years of heartache take its toll  

So please God will you take a while and listen to her prayers
Let her worries, and her burdens cease
Take away her pain and sorrow, dry her lonely tears
And help my daughter find a sense of peace

When the tears she hides so well are falling in the dark
When the world feels heavy from all the pain she's known
When the night feels long...and the road is hard to bear
Let her know she's never on her own

I need for her to know you’re there no matter what life brings
To guide her when I know she's lost her way
I need to know that once again a smile will reach her eyes
That happiness, she will find again someday...

It's only you I ever see

In a crowded room of faces
Through all the noise and endless places
A thousand voices surrounding me
It's only you I ever see

Stars will always light the sky
Time moves on and passes by
And even if you set me free
It's only you I ever see

The seasons change, the years pass by
Through every truth, through every lie
Of all the gifts life gave to me
It's only you I ever see

In all we’ve done, in all we do
My world begins and ends with you
For you’re the missing piece of me
It's only you I ever see

Your love has taught my heart to know
The bond we share will only grow
And in this world of you and me
It's only you I ever see

You are my world…my everything
For only you my soul will sing
For now and all eternity
It's only you I‘ll ever see

When life brings storms and seas are rough
Remember me, remember us
For in this life, through all I do
I’ll spend forever loving you…

Until We Are Strangers No More

You do something to me I just can’t explain
A feeling I know cannot last
We both know this moment is all we will share
For us there’s no future, no past

Lying beside you so lost in this feeling
I give you my sweet surrender
Closing our eyes, feeling alive
Making a night to remember

Just one night, one moment in time
Somewhere between right and wrong 
Though tomorrow will take you away from me
Back to where you belong 

You took my fantasies; made them all real
I’m so glad you walked through my door
Don’t let me go, make love to me baby
Until we are strangers no more

I wish I could love for just one more night
Hold you for just one more day
But what we are feeling has no chance live 
We both know that you cannot stay

We had an amazing once in a lifetime 
But can’t live on let’s pretend
I pray for the strength to walk away
For here, the dream has to end

So hold me close till the morning light
Let the whole world fade from sight
Even if love must say goodbye
We had forever in one night

We lived for the moment, we loved for one night 
For no one is promised tomorrow
But consequence never leaves you without
Bringing tears, the pain, the sorrow

To lose you will surely be painful, but
To keep you, I know would be wrong
I must let you go...not hold you back
From somewhere you might belong

Now you are gone, like you never were here
I know we were never to be
But I can still feel you and always I’ll know 
Part of you will live in me...

Silently I Go Insane

Staring out the window pane
Silently I go insane
Remembering what I try to forget
Try so hard but haven’t yet

Thoughts of you invade my mind
I try to leave the past behind
But images engraved in stone
Haunt me when I'm all alone

This searing endless pain I feel
Stabs me with its blade of steel
I cannot laugh, I cannot cry
Feelings and emotions dry

I will rise from all this broken pain
I won’t let your darkness win again
You tore me down, but I remain
Stronger now, I break these chains

You say forgive; I cannot do
Not since I lost all faith in you
You cannot stop what has begun
You can’t undo what has been done

You used, abused, cheated and lied
You took my dreams; you took my pride
You took my soul; my sanity
You took my trust and dignity

Honest, faithful, loyal and true
Everything I was to you
Believing all your thoughtless lies
Until I saw through your disguise

Now I’m left with pain and sorrow
How do I get through tomorrow
I know I must forget I cared
Forget the love and dreams we shared

Forget the man you used to be
Remember what my eyes did see
Remember all you did so wrong
Remember now I must be strong

Refuse to play this mental game
Or silently, I’ll go insane..

My Angel

All my tomorrows will come and go
And pass just like a storm
But all this pain I feel inside my heart 
Still lingers on

I would have loved you always
Held you for a million years
Instead my arms are empty
And my world is full of tears

Since you’ve gone I’m just a shadow
Of someone I used to be
There’s nothing I wouldn’t do in this world
To bring you back to me

Sometimes I wake up crying at night
Sometimes I scream out your name
What right did He have to take you from me
God, why did you take him away

I'm on a road to nowhere
And I just can't find my way
I feel so lost without you
Scared to face each waking day

Nights I lay awake just staring
Through my bloodshot eyes
Surrounded by these walls that tell
The stories of our lives

The sound of your sweet loving voice
The feel of you so close
The love I felt inside your heart
Is what I miss the most

I'll find you where the Angels shine 
Beyond the pain...beyond all time 
Until that day I'll hold on to 
A heart still belongs to you

I know someday I'll see you again
At the gates of Heaven above
And there I will find you waiting for me
My Angel, my heart, my love.

Love Is-

Love, I thought was meant to be
A word that makes you smile
Love, I thought was meant to be 
A feeling so worthwhile

Love, I thought was meant to make you laugh
Not make you cry
Love, I thought was meant to say hello 
Not say goodbye

Love is meant to leave you 
Feeling happy every day 
Love is meant to guide you 
So you never lose your way 

Love should be the dream 
From which you never want to wake
Love should be the person 
Whom you never will forsake

Love should be the one you lean upon
And your best friend
Love should be the reason for beginning
Not the end

Love’s a word I used to say
But now it’s in the past
Love to me is just a feeling 
Never meant to last

Love to me is just a word
Reminding what I had
Love is just a word that leaves me 
Lost, alone and sad

Love to me is make believe
A dream that can’t be real
Love just leaves a bleeding heart
A wound you cannot heal

Love was once a light 
That led my heart along the way
A promise in the dark, that
Never seemed to fade away

From “forever you and me” 
To walking on my own,
Love was once our story… 
Now it’s just a song alone

One-day love is everything 
You ever dreamed would be
Then suddenly it leaves you
Saying “I” instead of “We”

Lost Love

If only you could see the tears
In the world you left behind
You fill my days, my nights, my dreams
You’re all that’s on my mind

Your laugh I’ll never hear again
Your smile I’ll never see
Memories now are all I have
Since loneliness found me

Time was never on your side
Your short life had to end
Now I'm left in pain without
My love and my best friend

The sadness, the emptiness
The pain I have to face
Will never leave my life
For you’re a loss I can’t replace

Even though the rain will fall
And the sun will still shine on
My life will just exist
Because my whole world now is gone

You are an Angel high above now
Watching over me
But someday I know once again
Together we will be

You’re my angel in the sky above 
Holding all my broken love 
And though I’m lost down here alone 
I know one day you’ll lead me home 

So I’ll wait for the day we meet again 
Where goodbye won’t ever have to end 
Till then I’ll carry you inside my soul 
You were my heart… you made me whole..

For when my time on earth is done
You’ll come and take my hand
And guide us to eternal love
Together in God's land..
