Standing In Water

Standing in water beginning to rise
Over my knees now past my thighs
What have I done here? Beginning to drowned
Everything that goes up, must come down

I’m drowning in water, I’m drowning in shame
I’m drowning and I’m the only one to blame
I ‘m drowning in water. I’m drowning in guilt
I’m drowning and there’s no way out 

Suffocation I cant breathe 
The only way now to escape me
Letting go of the past
The only way I will last

I’m drowning in water, I drowning in shame
I’m drowning and I’m the only one that’s to blame
I’m drowning in water, I’m drowning in guilt
I’m drowning and there’s no way out

Running away is all that’s left
Hiding away, what I do best
Doing wrong is all I know how
There’s no good left in me now

I’m drowning in water, I’m drowning in shame
I’m drowning and I’m the only one that’s to blame
I’m drowning in water I’m drowning in guilt
I’m drowning and there’s no way out

I’m drowning in water and there’s no escape
No escape from me

On My Way To Grandma's

I baked some yummy cookies and wrapped them up real nice
I was on my way to grandma's, when I ran into some mice
They looked a little hungry and they looked a little sad
So I gave them all the cookies that I had inside my bag
I promised grandma cookies, and went home to bake some more
But on my way to grandma's house I ran into a bore
She asked me where I was going and if she could come along
Then I looked down at my cookies and realized that they were gone
I promised grandma cookies and went home again to bake
But when I got back to my house, there were no more left to make
I promised grandma cookies and didn't know what else to do
So I made some chocolate brownies with nuts and cashews too
I was on my way to grandmas when I ran into a goat
He asked me what the yummy smell was that was coming from my coat
I didn't want to tell him, but I didn't want to lie
Then he asked me with the saddest face if he could have a bite
I reached down in my pocket and pinched him off a piece
And went on my way to grandma's, but it was getting hard to see
I was on my way to grandma's and realized I'd lost my way
I was getting tired and hungry, I hadn't eaten all day
She must have gotten worried and come out to look for me
she said that she had found me, beneath an old oak tree
She took me to her house and tucked me into bed
gentely held my hand and kissed my little head
when I told her what had happend, she began to cry
Then she told me that she loved me and sang me a lullaby

Broken Hearts

Visions of you appear before my eyes
As I think about those lullabys
that you use to sing to me

Everynight while you put me to bed
Those songs you sung would dance in my head
As I fell asleep

I dont know how to let you go
I've never lost anyone so close
but now I know how it feels

Your gone and I am so sad
I love you and I miss you so bad
I can't help but to cry

I just cant believe your gone
everything seems so wrong
and I dont know why

I know your with the angels playing your harp
I just wish that god would mend my broken heart
sill it up with glue
help me to get over you

grandma I thought I was strong
but now I see that I was wrong
I just want you back

I know that it is selfish of me
thats not the way you would want me to be
but I cant help it

I prayed for you everynight and I still do
I just hope that you can hear me when I say that I love you
And I mean it with all my heart

I guess god wanted you more than me
at least that is the way it seems to be
He won this war

I know that If I be good, i will see you one day
And I will cry when I wrap my arms around you and say
I love you.

One Day

Falling

I'm shaking, its hard to breathe
crying so much that I cant see
never thought you would do this to me

heart is beating so fast. I feel it in my chest
I try to close my eyes, but theres no way I can rest

Can't stop rocking back and forth
Can't stop pacing these cold floors
need to talk but your not here
losing you is my biggest fear

I love. You hate
was I just a big mistake?
right now I want to die
stab this pencil through my eye
never breathe again

would you care?

I try to be a good wife
your my whole entire life
with out you I'm nothing at all
A helpless people just waiting to fall

I love you, but you not me

Hid Away

The ocean is a mirror for the man in the moon
the dirt is a pillow for the grass
The leaves are a blanket so the earth can sleep
and the present is a cover up for the past

Everyone has something to hide
no one can say its not true
I can tell by the look in your eyes
your hiding something too

I hide myself under your arms
So no one can break my heart
I listen for sounds of alarm
So no one can tare me apart

Everyone has something to hide
No one can say its not true
I can tell by the look in your eyes
your hiding something too

I'm like a baby learning to walk
you let me go and I fall

Save me from others
Dont let me go
Hold on to my hand
until I say so

Everyone has something to hide
No one can say its not true
I can tell by the look in your eyes
that your hiding something too
