Impasse

I could tell you if I wanted to what makes me what I am but I don't really want to 
and you don't give a damn.

Grandmother

grandmother speaks I listen
grandmother lectures I learn
grandmother cooks I clean
grandmother sings I dance
grandmother's buried I'm left alone
when I speak who will listen
when I lecture who will learn
when I cook who will clean
when I sing who will dance
when I am buried who will be left alone

Pain

you made me cry you made me blue now you wonder why i'm not speaking to 
you you broke my heart and left me alone then you wonder why i haven't 
telephoned when you played with my feelings you delmolished my soul how 
could you be so cruel, so cold you really hurt me and that's a fact now i'm facing 
an emotional setback

Waterfall

when the waterfall comes I'll be long gone you hurt me so i decided to move on 
there's no one who can ever take your place because I'll always remember your 
wonderful face in due time we'll meet again so I'll say so long until then.

Alone

if you are alone there's no one in your home you stay to yourself stuck sitting 
there in the corner crying about your life and how you wanna die talkin' 'bout 
committing suicide but you still tend to hide your feelings and emotions because 
you have no one to talk to or maybe they just won't listen but when your gone who 
will be alone?

Needing You

As I sit on the ground with my head hanging down I think about you,
when I sit and cry myself to sleep i think about you.
But when I'm having issues that I can't solve.
That's when I really need you most of all.
