The irony of life sometimes; it has me asking why.
The after affects of a medical treatment left me with a deviated tongue;
The term deviated in its self is to some degree ironic.
In the end it is sometimes difficult to understand what I say.
Once in a daze of stumbling blind love;
I spoke my feelings; and was kissed on the check
That was the tenderest thing I ever experienced
Without verbal expression how will I touch love?
And my almost friend that I tried so hard at first;
To keep at a distance; I cared so much about her
But life threw a curve ball; and now I couldn’t even;
Tell her how sorry I am even if I had the courage to try.
And my fingers; with their little suckers;
That makes my guitar; do things;
I’m not even sure are coming from me;
I won’t be singing my words as a lyric
It’s alright because I was never coming out anyway;
My whole life is about being undercover; by choice.
Someday in some other life maybe; I’ll show people who;
I really am; but not here; not today.
All I'll ever be
All I'll ever do
All of the moments I'll remember
Is all because of you
All of the strength I will gain
All of the things that I will see
Is all because you
Were always there for me
All of the times that I was on top of the world
All of the times I wanted to hide
All of the days when life threw a curve ball my way
You were always by my side
All of the moments that I didn't want to go on
All of the times that I felt so low
You were always there, motivating me
And pushing me to go
You were with me all of the times I lost
And by my side whenever I would win
You were always there when a chapter in my life was ending
And there when a new one would begin
You were my wings when I needed to soar
You were my cushion when started to fall
And of the things I've been through, if I didn't have you
I wouldn't have anything at all
