Forbidden

The one standing here
is the shell of who was once there
but that is what is to happen
when what's in your heart is forbidden

Somethings can't be explained
feelings can't be restrained
tears can no longer be held in
someone who has lost everything within

things never meant to be understood
lost everything for which you stood
no one can tell
that you're living in hell

the pain is hidden
to show weakness is forbidden
the feelings inside
are things you can no longer hide

the tears are coming out
even if no one cares what about
in looking for peace
the pain will never cease

The one standing here
is the shell of who was once there
but that is what is to happen
when what's in your heart is forbidden

Should I Fight

Time is not on my side
yesterday I almost died
maybe if i had
you wouldn't be so mad

you keep saying I don't care
when I've done nothing but be there
you can't see me cry
so you never ask why

so I don't have to say
why I'm feeling bad today
but its because of what you said
that I'd rather be dead

how can you say that 
you can't take it back
the pain is already consuming me
but I refuse to let anyone see

I put on my mask
no one bothers to ask
I'm to upset with you
to know what I'm suppose to do

you say I don't care 
but you're the one who acts like I'm not there
how could you
what am I suppose to do

I still love you
but letting go is what you want to do
should I give in
give up and let you win

or do I try to fight
as I cry myself to sleep at night

My Sister My Friend

I remember staying up all night
after each and every fight
calling you just to make sure we were OK
it seemed like it happened everyday

we made some bad choices
even when we heard each others voices
you stand right beside me
its easy for everyone to see

you were always there
always saying “ I care"
your my sister, my friend
i hope it doesn't have to end

I remember staying up all night
after each and every fight
a late night phone call
when you took the fall

my sister my friend
to think i almost made it end
i ran away from you
but you knew exactly what to do

I remember staying up all night
after each and every fight
a home football game
when you took away all the pain

Good Bye

I have never been good with goodbye
The more things change the more they stay the same
I was never one to just break down and cry
Now it seems like its all I want to do

I am about to leave for the adventure of a lifetime
And all I can think about is how I am missing something
But I continue to lie telling everyone I’m just fine
Now don’t get me wrong I am more than ready to leave

It is what I am leaving behind that scares the hell out of me
Scared I guess after all of this time that I will be forgotten
Pushed away without another thought of how things used to be
I have so much that I stand to lose in just a few days

A best friend who has never even second guessed me
Made me realize just what life is suppose to mean
To relax take things as they come and laugh off most things
Most of my friends don’t even know that I am still around

They say they don’t recognize me anymore
Saying there is something that she put there
That it is a glow that was never there before
That not even people who were the closest to me could do

I know this sounds a little confused
But right at the moment it is what I am going through
Like I am being ever so politely excused
But in my heart I think it can’t be that way

It would be near impossible I would hope
To ever forget the quiet sometimes confused person
Who would do anything for anyone including hanging from a rope
It took a lot for me to trust anyone that took a second look at me

But then I get to close for my own good
I can’t help it like I said I hate good bye
I hold on far longer than sometimes I should
But good bye seems so final in the overall sense of things

So can I make it through the day without breaking down
As I say good bye and wish you all the best
As I drive into town for that final go around
I am ready to leave but not ready to say goodbye

I don’t think I will ever be

Bound For Nowhere

Rain on the window makes me lonely
time keeps on passing so slowly
cell phones i hear ringing
i keep wishing it was me

I'm on a Greyhound bound for nowhere
she has you and you have me
and there are somethings we can't share
I'm on a Greyhound bound for nowhere

That ring you were wearing
didn't mean anything 
maybe because it came from me
why didn't you just let me be

If you were just going to chose her
did i ever mean anything to you
did you cry
or feel like you were going to die

As you watched me pull away
we both need you
but there are somethings we can't share
I'm on a Greyhound bound for nowhere

It Isn'T Me

How many smiles can i fake
how many lies can i make
before some one looks at me
and truly see this isn't me

pretending to be someone I'm not
when friendship and peace is all I've ever sought 
it seems i always lose
believe this that i did not choose

for everything to come to an end
you to me God did send
but the devil set things in motion
without you without emotion

how many smiles can i fake
how many lies can i make
before someone looks at me
and can truly see
that this isn't me
