My Dream Car

I found this old car
Kinda beat up, but it’ll do
With a little love and care
It’ll be shining like new

I take a ride down a deserted highway
It’s long, alone, and narrow
It’s pointing me in some direction
Like a dark asphalt arrow

I look in my rearview mirror
And I see laughter and tears 
I’ve survived a lot 
Through the last twenty years

In the shine of my headlights 
I see what’s coming
Whether I like it or not 
There’s no point in running 

Inside I hear the radio
Revealing different melodies
And I sit there and I sing
My words soon to become memories 

The road curves and winds
There’s just one last bend
My “Dream Car” is my life 
And I’ll ride it out til the end

Glass Box

Standing inside 
Looking out 
No one can see me 
No one can hear me shout 

Pressing my hands against the walls
I watch the people walk by
Never knowing how close they come
To suffering the same fate as mine 

I sit in my cold prison 
Wondering when my life had changed
When I had stopped living
When I had become estranged

My heart is still beating 
My blood still flows
But inside my glass box
The world of time slows

I want to break free 
I want to go and live 
This life has so much to offer
And I have so much to give.

Come Back To Me

I know you had to leave me
I know you had to go
But all my days without you
Are ticking by so slow

I miss what you did to me
And the way you made me feel
I know the difference from dream and reality
But none of this seems real

I lay alone in my bed at night
Wanting you by my side
Knowing in my heart you can't be
There are so many tears I haven't yet cried

I should have listened to the signs
I should have put up a fight 
But now I just lay here
And hold my pillow tight

I know I shouldn't be selfish
But please come back to me
Come back to me, come back to me
And set my heart free

I'm not completely alone
But I'm still so afraid
And I know I can't change this
No matter how hard I've prayed

But I know this isn't fair
Because here you can't stay
Neither of us know what lies ahead
And I hate how they took you away

There's nothing I can do
I know I must move on
But if you ever need me
I'll wake up with the dawn

Only three things we'll ever need to know:
To my heart you held the key
I truly loved you
And you truly loved me.

Hidden Feelings

I wish I didn’t feel 
The way I feel inside
The reason I left is a cross
Between my love and my pride 

I can’t seem to let you go
No matter how much I beg and try
I keep thinking of you and our love
My heart just won’t say goodbye 

I know I need to move on
At least for this moment in time 
And the level of pain that I feel 
Can not be expressed in rhyme

I want to come back in so many ways 
I want to feel your touch and your kiss 
But I don’t know if I’ll ever be back
And there are countless things I will miss

For now I need to leave
And find my own way
But maybe if our fate is written in the stars
One day I’ll come home to stay.

The Jump 2

I’m standing on the edge
Holding on tight
I’m not really sure
If this decision is right 

There are so many consequences
If my choice is wrong
I’ll lose all the hope
I’ve built up after so long

I could take the chance
Allow myself to soar
To fly on angel’s wings
And never want anything more

But if I fall 
My heart will meet its demise 
My conviction couldn’t take it 
If failed by love’s disguise 

I know I have to jump
And take this leap of faith 
I know it’s a big risk
But this chance I can’t bare to waste

I let myself plunge
Plunge into this dark abyss
But I am not scared
Because at the end, all I’ll feel is your bliss.

The Jump

I’m taking a big risk with you 
A jump
A leap of faith 
I may come crashing to my heart’s demise
Or I could soar on the wings of an angel
It’s a lonely decision
Only I can make it 
Do I choose the chance for love?
Do I harden my heart?
It’s a lonely decision
Only I can make it 
You hurt me before
Will you do it again? 
If I trust you
Will it be worth it? 
I won’t know until I try 
It’s a lonely decision
Only I can make it 
I’ve made my decision
I choose…the jump.

My Mind

I'm trapped
Locked inside my mind
Screaming to deaf ears
Crying to blind eyes 
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Day always night
Darkness invading innocent hearts 
Always seeing bad things happen
People's sanity coming undone
Moon dead
Sun vanished, stars hidden
Evil being unleashed
Good cowering behind fear
Seeing everything my mind invents 
People dying, hearts broken
Nowhere to hide 
Nowhere to run
Crying to blind eyes
Screaming to deaf ears
Locked inside my mind
I'm trapped

Confused Words

I wanna tell you how I feel
I wanna speak what's on my mind
But I can't say it 

I wanna tell you that I'm scared 
Of succeeding in this relationship
But I can't say it 

I wanna tell you that I'm scared
Of failing in this relationship
But I can't say it

I wanna tell you about my past 
And all that's happened to me
But I can't say it

I wanna tell you about my future
And how I want you there
But I can't say it

I wanna tell you that I love you
And I want you in my life
But I can't say it

And now you're turning
And walking away
Because I haven't said a word.
