Being Trapped and Breaking Loose

lying with you in bed  
lightly stroking your head 
everything is going so well 
untill all of a sudden comes a god awful smell
i was holding it for so long
maby thats why it smelled so strong
you turn to me with a look of disgust
it broke loose with an almighty gust 
i was keeping it trapped for quite a while
it was one of those ones that smelled so vile
you wont be able to look at me anymore 
i held it trapped untill my stomach was sore
it just popped out not even that loud
and lingered in the air like a big stink cloud 
it was the last thing i wanted to do
god job i didn't follow through

When Drink Comes First Continued

When i was with you i was sad
there was this hatred i felt so bad
i did everything i could to help you
all those wasted years i went through 
alcohol was your best friend 
alcohol was first and me at the end
you would rather drink than go on a date 
this poisin will soon be your fate 
its ruining your life cant you see 
thats why i got out i had to think about me
im glad i dont need to deal with it anymore
i was tormented till my head was sore
getting up for work while u lay all day
"im looking for a job" you would always say
i was unhappy for years
it got to the point i could shed no tears
the love faded a long time ago 
so it made it easier to let you go 

iv moved on with my life and have met someone new
and i hoped the same would happen with you
im so happy now but i wish you where too
i wasnt prepared for wot you where goin to do
you tried to kill yourself but were found on time
just when  i thought everything was fine
i didnt no you were taking it so bad
when i heard you were in hospital it just made me feel mad 
i just hope it wont happen again
the guilt would drive me insain
and i hope you get better and move on with your life
hopefully have kids a house and a wife
things will get better i wish you the best
but please dont make me watch you get lowered down to rest

Waiting Too Long

i don't think you know this
so let me expain
i can't hold this in
it will drive me insane
im falling quite fast
nothing shielding the blow 
im falling in love
but your falling too slow
i will try to hold on 
just for a while
but im not waiting long
 im losing my smile
i thought you felt the same
but i guess i was wrong
waiting for love 
that is taking too long
so once again i will lock up my heart
i will save it for someone who wants to take part

Sweet Child I Never New

how could i do this to you 
sweet child i never knew 
theres not one day that goes bye 
when i don't think of you and cry 
im sorry i never gave you a chance 
and i hope you'll forgive me 
it was the hardest thing i had to do 
to chose between my life and you 
its not that i did not care 
i was just too young 
it would not be fair 
i hope one day you will understand me 
i did not hate you i set you free 
but i will always think of you 
sweet, sweet child i never knew

See You Soon

the waves crashing i stand alone
in the dim lit pier 
i can feel you standing near 
walking along the beach bare feet in the sand 
your by my side holding my hand 
memories i cry into the sea 
memories of you and me
life was complete the day i met you
you were my bestfriend, my soul mate 
see you soon my darling
 meet you at heavens gate
