The Greatest Gamble

There came a time in my life
When a decision had to be made
One that could and would change everything
Which is why I was afraid

I spent hour upon hour
Thinking of the outcomes
But I decided I was over-thinking
So of that I was done

Then I said I'd try something new
I would listen to my heart
And just hope that after this
We wouldn't fall apart

So when the moment was ripe
And your hand I did caress
I uttered those 4 little words
Praying you'd say yes

A Shattered Season

My mind is stuck revolving
Around a passion for a girl
And try as I might to stop it
My mind just whirls and whirls

From dawn til dusk I suffer it
She's with me everywhere I go
Not in person but in my heart
Reminding me that I'm alone

From dusk til dawn I suffer it
My dreams are filled with lies
She comes to me so sweetly
But I awake and face goodbye

I find that every thought I think
Resonates with her somehow
And I'd gladly give my heart away
But I don't think that's allowed

Rest assured there is no break
For those with their hearts broken
Just days and days and days of gray
And words that go unspoken

Pendulum

I've been at the edge before, I swear
I've made it to where hope is simmered down;
But there was nothing for me there,
So I simply turned around.

I've retraced all the footsteps, I swear
I've made my way up and back to town;
But there was nothing for me there,
So I simply turned around.
