Where Did I Go Wrong

Where did i go wrong 
if we even did 
why does it feel like our love has come to an end?
why do we not talk or even look into each other's eyes?
why is it that every time you speak,
i feel as if I want to cry?

where did i go wrong
i never ment to hurt you in anyway
but at times like these when i need you the most
it feels like youve runaway
as if your afraid to tell me how you really feel

where did i go wrong
its like we cant even talk or call each other on the phone
why is it that i feel like ive hurt you alot 
trying to fix things between us but just not hitting the right spots 

where did i go wrong 
if i ever really did 
i wish i could go back in time and redo everything i did 
baby you mean the world to me tell me please 

where did i go wrong 
baby tell me tell us all 
where did i go wrong
if i ever really did

How You Make Me Feel

When I am wrapped up in your arms,
I feel safer than ever before.
When you stare into my eyes, its a feeling I can't ignore.
I know this isn't just a game,
because, what I feel for you,
I never felt with anyone else.
When I am close to you I am overwhelmed with happiness.
You're what I've been waiting for my whole life.
You're someone I can share my love with,
you take away my fears.
Words can't express how much I love you.
But, through this short amount of time,
I hope you realize that my love for you is real.
I'm not with you to play games,
and I know you feel the same.
With you, is where I want to be
because I found someone who loves me just for me.
baby you have given me everything i need you been there for me
through thick and then good or bad i always find myself coming to you
for help theres not a day that goes by that i dont think about you 
and yes i know we have had are ups and downs 
but every relationship does it only just going to make us stronger
the tough battles we have later on baby 
and i know your probroly think im insane but baby i cannot live without in life 
i see no one else in this universe but you and me baby

I Just Want To Tell You

I just want to tell you,
I love you with all my heart.
I wish for us to be together,
...Never shall we be apart.

I just want to tell you,
You put the smile on my face.
I want to be by your side,
I don't want to be any other place.

I just want to tell you,
You mean so much to me.
I see you as nothing less than the world,
And that I want you to see.

I just want to tell you,
I wouldn't be able to live without you.
Without the comfort you give,
There's nothing I could do.

I just want to tell you,
I thank you for being there.
You've always given me a shoulder to lean on,
And you always care.

I just want to tell you,
I think of you every moment of the day.
And how much I love you,
Words could never even say.

I just want to tell you,
I love you with all my heart.
I wish for us to be together,
Never shall we be apart.

The Guy In the Mirror

The Guy in the Mirror 

I look in the mirror and see a Boy
who is staring back at me
I don’t know who he is 
because he’s not the guy I want to be
he puts a smile on
while inside she's falling apart
he says she's ok
as pain fills his heart
he pretends not to care
as everyone slowly walks away
he hides behind his mask
and pretends to be okay
he is scared to let people close
it always end up to be heartache
he feels like a stranger in his own home
like he doesn’t even belong
he tries the best he can
but it always seems to be wrong
he has ideas for the future
hopes and dreams of his own
but he doesn’t hold his breath 
because disappointments all he’s ever known
he asks 'Why am I never good enough? '
'Why am I always the second choice? '
people tell him he’s got to stand up for what he wants
he’s got to find his own voice
I know who I wanna be
It's all so much clearer
but the fact of life is
I'm the guy standing in the mirror

Missing You

Why can't I speak when I have so much to tell
Why can't I write when I have so much in mind
Why can't I man up and tell you how i feel

theres just to many things left undone
theres just to many things left unsaid
Why is it so hard for me to tell you what im feeling 
for all i know this pain im feelin deep inside 
took the joy from my heart


Is this the pain of missing you?
Is this the reason behind it all?

Hear the agony of my heart
Longing for you and for your touch
Feeling your lips, feeling your face

Listen

Where did i make my mistake 
where did  i go wrong 
why does it seem like you keep trying to push me away
I didnt mean to hurt you in anyway

If i did im sorry i apolozie for what ive done 
please dont take your love away 
please stay with me i need you here with me
I admit i did wrong i should have never left you 

 i left because I'm afraid you'll think less of me, 
that you'll laugh, and your laugh would kill me. 
I'm afraid that deep-down I'm nothing
and that you will see this and reject me. 

so please stay with me

I Tried

I tried too hard 
to be noticed; 
I tried to be someone 
I was not;

Waiting and waiting 
I watch time slowly tick away 
as another day dawns 
I watch the world scurry around;

I wanted to be someone, 
I wanted to be famous, 
I wanted life and 
I wanted love
I wanted a lot of things 
that were out of reach 
as I sink in slowly 
under the weight of expectations;

I tried to be what they 
wanted me to be; 
I tried to be what I was 
not meant to be;

I tried too hard 
I pushed too far 
and I went too far;

With a forced smile, 
and a fake laughter 
to cover my tracks 
I escape into the shadows 
and try to fight this one out, 
all alone
