Budget Fairytale

Open up to a new world
where things aren't what they seem
people aren't what they say
and all the signs lead the wrong way
welcome to this place
where the world falls at your feet
only to bring you down with it
there is no one to hold onto

its your budget fairytale
you have everything you want
but when it comes down to it
everything goes wrong for you
its your budget fairytale
you wish to take it back
but all you have now is a shard
it was because of your disregard

this town is filled with people
who you think will understand
you look for someone to be your rock
no one will be here to hold you hand
welcome to your own mind
where you shut yourself off from reality
you wish that there is a way out
you think that there has to be
welcome to your personal hell
no one cares to bid you well
you took all that people had
and cried and cried as if you were sad
begging for forgiveness
give the master his come
you tried to love him in circumstance
but once again you failed him

its your budget fairytale
you have everything you want
but when it comes down to it
everything goes wrong for you
its your budget fairytale
you wish to take it back
but all you have now is a shard
it was because of your disregard

your walls are crumbling down around you
the brick work you built so strong
to keep your friends out, those who love you
 cant seem to see what's wrong
can you get out from this now you are in deep
those promises you gave to me
which ones will you keep

your world is falling apart
this is surely the end
your eyes tell you one thing
and your mind another
you were supposed to be like this
we weren't meant for each other

its your budget fairytale
you have everything you want
but when it comes down to it
everything goes wrong for you
its your budget fairytale
you wish to take it back
but all you have now is a shard
it was because of your disregard

Starlit Sky's and Beautiful Eyes

Laying awake on the grass,
next to the girl i love.
Awaken these feelings,
come open up my heart.
You are the special one,
you see what others don't.
Can you hold me tighter?
so i know you are there.
Can you see what i see,
your beautiful, its just you and me.
The moon is falling again,
when shall i see it once more.
Next time i am with you.
Don't let the moon die,
Dont let the stars cry.
Nothing could change this,
with Starlit skys and beautiful eyes.

I Love, I Want

Verse1:
Butterflies and bees
within these battered trees
falling apart from age
but i am still so young
i'm still having fun
and waiting for that girl
that one achiever
that will rock my world

Chorus:
And i love you more every day
and i love you more than words can say
i want you here right by my side
but i'm too scared, so i run and hide

Verse2:
Leaves are falling to the ground
the air cold and autumn is found
hearing a voice softly against my ear
i am relieved its you, you are finally here
to hold me through the worst of times
the good times are with you
with me and you together
we can show that love is true

Carry On

Verse1:
Clever words twisting round
and the funny thing is you will never learn
or understand all my plans
so there you go and hit the ground again

things go on and on
but what stunt shall i do next?
to impress and to shame
what it is i'm fighting for

Chorus:
they are just words on the paper
what do they matter to you
its my thoughts your in love with
and theres nothing more i can do
but carry on, carry on
na na na na na na na na na
but carry on, carry on
na na na na na na na na na

Verse2:
all this time alone i dream
of things i have never seen before
don't want to open my eyes
my imagination wants more and more

flying through the sky
sailing with the birds way up high
i can see things clearly
than i ever have done before

Chorus:
they are just words on the paper
what do they matter to you
its my thoughts your in love with
and theres nothing more i can do
but carry on, carry on
na na na na na na na na na
but carry on, carry on
na na na na na na na na na

Meaning of Love

Love is the word that ties the bind
a feeling we never leave behind
its meant to show that we truly care
and that being without them
we simply could no bare
its been used for so many years
its brought pure joy, and reduced to tears
but to know there is someone there for you
to hold and to kiss, pure like the morning dew
truth is you are never alone in this weary world
there is always someone, wherever you look
they always stay close, no matter how far away they are
they are always inside your hear, they are the next beat
they are the blood flow, they are your heat
on cold winter nights when the fires sleep
their hold will warm you through
till the morn' of heats desire
passion burns between lovers live wild fire
intimacy keeps the flame bright as every new day
love is sometimes painful, but be assured
the feeling never goes away, no matter what
love burns bright, no matter how small the flame
