Changes

I was born, learned how to laugh and learned how to cry Years have passed and I’ve moved on from that place And I can’t go back there, no matter how hard I try Changes, everything changes…even time and space Having learned my first steps, I couldn’t wait for school Collecting knowledge and experience along the way At sixteen I “knew’ it all and yet I was still just a fool Changes, everything changes…even this might one day School was yesterday and today is work from eight to five Thinking about now is gone, now I have to think ahead Economics, my family and what do I do with my life Changes, everything changes…even the ones I dread Some changes will be good and a lot may seem to be bad Nothing around here is the same since the day I met you Is it good, is it bad or will I always treasure what we had Changes, everything changes…even us and what we do There may come a day when we will despise each other Or we might not be able to go back to the love we shared Would we fight it or just give up and move on to another Changes, everything changes…even those that ones cared If everything in my life changes, that’s the way it should be You can change, I can change, and nothing stays this way My body and my heart can change, but I’m taking you with me Everything changes…even I love you more and more each day

This One Is For You

I was once happily lying in your arms

Mislead by all your charms

Was sleeping peacefully and now that I wake

My body begins to shake

 

Loved you more than words can say

Never thought it would end this way

You said that you would never leave

Took my heart and soul, you thief

 

Whilst trying to be a little  more civilized

It really hurt when I realized

I have failed to give the world my love as such

Because of loving you too much

 

And now I am here and I’m all alone

My heart has turned to stone

All the joy was replaced with pain

Will I ever learn to love again


They say that time is the greatest healer

To me it is more like a sealer

It covers feelings such as pain and dismay

But it does not take them away


I still love you and am hurting every day

My thoughts are with you all the way

Even though I know that you are gone

My heart will never really move on

You Won'T Let Me In

Once upon a time there was a hitchhiker on a long and empty road

A kind-hearted man stopped and helped him with his heavy load

 

As they drove the driver decided to start up a conversation

It started innocently but ended up being some sort of interrogation

 

After having reached their destination...it was now time to part

He turned and said: Your distrust is blocking my way into your heart

 

This is a story about you and me...it never ends and will never begin

We will never be happy together...because you just won't let me in

The Way I Met You

When I look at you I see the person that I wish that I could be

When I talk to you I hear the words that I wish that I could say

As time goes by I will do all I can to turn you into me

As time goes by I will see me in you and then turn away

 

We meet someone and fall in love with who they are

Yet we try to change them into who we want them to be

On our quest we stop at nothing and no way is too far

We bend and twist, but is this really what we want to see

 

When you look at me I admire the person that I cannot be

When you talk to me I listen to the words that I cannot say

As time goes by you will fight my attempts to turn you into me

As time goes by you should stay yourself and I won't turn away
