Love Hurt's

Another tear drops from my eyes
Why do I seem so suprised
Did i expect laughter instead of pain
My head not held high but hangs with shame
How many times am I gonna believe his lies
He ropes me in, time after time
I just want to be more important than the drugs
I want to be the main thing he loves
I don't want to go to bed alone at night
I don't want to have another fight 
I want to wake up with a smile on my face
Not waking up wishing all memories erased
I don't want to be confussed
I want to know what i should do
But all's he does is look for another score
And in between he calls me whore's
I want to be able to get on with my life
Happieness i  want in sight
Please Lord help with this pain
Help me Lord to walk away

Christmas Cheer

The kids fare in the window looking for Rodulph
The parents are in the kitchen drinking egg nog
Putting last minuet gifts around the tree
Strung with lights for the outside to see
Stockings are hung above the fire place
Cookies being made, dough all over the little one's face
Can't wait till morning to see what Santa brings
Merry Christmas and Seasons Greetings!

Hurting

So many ups, so many downs
Not enough smiles and to many frowns
Hardly any laughter, always tears
So much pain and hurt throughout the years
At times all I need is comforted and hugged
But in the end I feel no love
Tired of the yelling and being called names
Tired of feeling like Im going insane
I reach out  my hand and there's nobody there
I have no one to talk to, nobody cares
No one to wipe away my tears
No one to help me face my fears
No one to tell me it's gonna be ok
But  yet I stay instead of walking away
Another night I cry myself to sleep
There's no end in sight that I can see 
Maybe one day this will all go away
But for now I feel pain each and everyday

Second Chance

Wev'e been down this road once before
But this time around it means so much more
I wasn't ready for old feelings to come to the surface
But I believe God has put you in my life for a purpose
I was going through alot and it kept up apart
I made some changes and i'm ready for a new start 
Some things are just meant to stay in the past
I'm tired of crying, I'm ready to laugh
I never fealt so alive
You were there to wipe away my tears when I needed to cry
But i turned a corner with you by myside 
Put your hand in mine, let's take this ride
You made me believe in myself again
So even if romance doesn't happen, thankyou for being a true friend

Drugs

All's you gotta do is say no
It's not a cool thing to do
But if you don't your being dumb
Because you'll probaly end up with 911
So come on and join me
And make the pledge to be 
Popular without doing drugs
And be alcohol free!

Walking Away

My life has changed in such an amazing way
Since I got the courage to walk away
A smile is what i now wear on my face
A whole new world out there for me to embrace
I have friends in my life now 
I don't know how i went ten years without
The world i discovered isn't just filled with darkness of gray
It has beams of sunshine throughout every day
I am so glad that i walked away
SO happy i woke up without you in my life today
