You Saved Me

I was lost and afraid
And I didn't know which way to turn
And too many times already, the price I had paid
There were already no bridges to burn

I was hurt and alone
And I cried out in desiration
But you calmed me with just your tone
And you saved me without any hesitation

Just when I thought I was about to break
You showed me a ray of hopeand I could see the light 
I could see that there would be no more heartache
And the end of all this pain was in sight

You showed mejust how happy I can be
And you filled my life with so much love
So no longerdo I feel like I am lost at sea
I feel like my heart is soaring like a dove

I thought I should be careful at first glance
But I've never felt so much emotion
So I gave your love a chance
And found your heart to be so full of devotion

No longer do I feel like I'm about to fall apart
Or feel like I'm ready to flee
Because you saved me right from the start 
And now my heart is free

So for the rest of my life I'll pray
That there will never come a day
When you take your love away
So now I'll take the time to say

You are the love of my life
Only in you can i confide
No matter what the srtife
I'll never leave your side

Free Again

Take me away from this place
It hurts too bad to be here
Take me away from this place
There is too much ugliness that I hear

I want to go home
If only I had one to go to
I want to go home
Please tell me, what should I do

Let me let go
Of this harsh reality
Let me let go
Can't you just let me be

Don't touch me anymore
You make me feel dirty
Don't touch me anymore
I don't want you to see

You're breaking my heart
I don't know how much more I can take
You're breaking my heart
I guess, this choice, I have to make

Should I stay 
Or should I go
Should I stay 
I do not know

I'm lost in the abyss
And this I truly fear
I'm lost in the abyss
You don't want me here

I'm leaving now
I say goodbye
I'm leaving now
My soul can fly

No holding me back
I will get by
No holding me back
This I will try

To move on 
Though it cuts like a knife
To move on
And make a new life

I will live again
And love again
I will live again
And be free again

In Despiration

Why am I here
Sentenced to this life
The answer I do not hear
All I get is strife 
Then you come along
With rays of hope shinning out
And then I realize that I don't belong
What is this all about
Then in despiration I cry out 
Take me away from this place
Show me a way out
Can't you see the pain in my face
But the silence grows
Surrounding me with a bitter chill
Ever changing how this feeling flows
And in despiration I cry out still

This Secret

This secret of ours
How long will it last
Through the midnight hours
Or will it be over fast

I long for you to touch me
To feel your gentle kisses on my skin
What will all of this come to be
These walls of protection are wearing thin

Images of what we have shared 
Haunt my memories when we are not near
Should we continue this if we dared
But your words, i fear, i don't want to hear

Is this wrong
Or is this right
To whom does this choice belong
Should we bring this into the light

Could we be making a mistake
I'm afraid I'm falling for you 
And my heart you will break
Oh what should I do

Should i let this secret continue
Or should I pull away
And stay away from you
What should I do or say

I need to know
Is this a game 
If so, I will go
To avoid any more shame

Oh this secret of ours
Should we just let it be 
And last through the midnight hours
Or set this secret of ours free
