Throw Those Stones

You’ll never get it I’ve comes to terms,
I guess i let it happen i stayed only to get burned.
My heart has been beaten; my soul feels like it's in hell,
What have you done to me, am i under a spell?
So go ahead and keep throwing those stones,
Now all i have left are my brittle bones.
Stone by stone I’ll rebuild my wall,
I'm stronger when hit the hardest, much stronger when i fall.
I abandoned my life and gave you my all,
Only for you to sit back and watch me fall
This time maybe I’ll build myself a ship,
I'll be sailing again I’m stronger when hardest hit.

Some Ones Maybe

As the rain falls outside my window, a gentle song plays in my mind, nature expressing what I cannot, the sky is the color of my mood or is it my soul, yep my soul, gray like a cold statue standing still. Patience is a virtue, but one I cannot bare. I have so much to offer, but no one to give. So much yet unseen, but no eyes. So much to be felt, but no hands nor heart. The chance has come and gone for I will be nobody's, somebody's, maybe. There's always something I do wrong, I swear I could write a thousand songs.
Day turns to night and night to day, without one simple word your out to play.
When will you see me as I am inside, why do you always run and hide?
Look in my eyes and read my soul for then you'll understand, for then you'll know!
Put your feelings on a shelf for good looks, dig your nose in those lousy books.
Kiss every ones butt and cling to the past and see who is there when your the last

For if you study long you study wrong............

Alright Now

I try to have a normal life
Be a proud mother, maybe a wife

The pain I've endured has sunken down deep
It hurts from my head, way down to my feel

I seem to have a cloud that follows me still
Just tryin to be honest, for hurt that I fear

A tornado destroying all the feelings inside
Then disappear in a hole I will hide

Some say they feel like they've been hit by a train
Not my intentions to cause anyone pain

My hearts like a iron workers hands after years
Calloused and rough from holding the tears

I'm trying to be different, trying something new
I want to be happy, tired of feeling blue

Forgive me, good ones who have felt my wrath
And all of you others can kiss my ass

Love Is a Battlefield

We battle almost everyday, you don't care about nothing I say.

Something interests me and with you I want to share, a cold shoulder and your back is all you bare.

Where is your conscience my mind ponders?, Why even talk to me, why even bother?

You raise your voice as though you speaking to many,  I think I freaking heard you and so did the city.

Second guessing myself, what the hell did I do to you?  I think most times even you don't have a clue.

Why would I stay here, why choose this hellish path?,  Why wait for you to snap again, waiting for you wrath.

I need to clear this haze from my eyes, Know that it's over, come to terms, realize.

I feel like a solider deep within a war, I can't fight no longer, can't do this anymore!

I've fought with these things that from you I receive, I'm starting to feel it, your making me believe.

You see now in the beginning why my outlook on men was so hard, Your not the only one who has played this card.

I wish now I had stuck to my-guns, This would have never happened, never begun.

I'm sick of being nice and trying to be sweet, When all I get is knocked off my feet.

Is it men in general or do I have myself to blame, Theres someone out there that can prove all men aren't the same.

Nobody's Maybe

Walls Around Me

A OPEN HEART, FREE AND UNTOUCHED
HE CALLED ME NAMES IT HURT SO MUCH
I PLACED A STONE ALONG THE SIDE
TO SHIELD MYSELF I RUN AND HIDE
I THREW THAT STONE FOR HOPE OF CHANGE
THIS TIME FINDING I WASN'T TO BLAME
BRICKS THIS TIME IT WILL SURELY HOLD
MY HEART TUCKED TIGHT IN A TINY MOLD
A WALL NOW THERE SO STRONG AND TALL
PUSHING AWAY THE WRECKING BALL
A BATTLEFIELD WITH WRECKAGE AND DEBRIS
BEHIND THIS WALL THAT'S ALL YOU'LL SEE
NO GREEN PASTURES OR BRIGHT FLOWERS
FOR I FEEL SAFE TO HOLD THAT POWER
ALONE I'LL STAND TO HOLD THIS BLAME
THIS IS MY LIFE , THIS IS MY PAIN
