One Fateful Moment

I was nineteen, and he lived on my street. 
I don’t know when, I don’t know why,
But I ended knocked up and living in the streets. 
We were married, divorced, I guess that’s just the course of life.

‘Cause in one fateful moment everything changes. 
In one fateful moment life rearranges. 
In one fateful moment dreams can be shattered. 
And in one fateful moment, my life doesn’t matter.

Well I never figured, I was that way.
Until I saw her, on the subway one day.
We had some great times.
Together, we were happy and sad.

But in one fateful moment everything changes. 
In one fateful moment life rearranges. 
Catching her cheating, just wasn’t part of the plan. 
So now I’m running, running fast as I can. 

City, after city. State, after state.
I thought I was lost, couldn’t find my place. 
I was wondering how long I would last in life’s race. 
Then there was you, and you saw right through my disguise. 

It was that one fateful moment where everything changes. 
That one fateful moment where my life rearranges. 
Where my downs became ups, and my frowns were now smiles. 
Where my dreams come true, and my wish is just for you.

My one fateful moment was when I saw you.

Six Feet Down

Six feet down,
Is the only love I’ve ever known.
Six feet down,
Is the only place I have left to go.

Frozen and lonely,
Lost and only,
Searching for the truth.
I’m dying to know what I once knew.

Only six feet down, 
Lay one prefect crown.
Six feet down,
Is the most perfect frown.

I’ll stand above the ground.
And wear my solemn frown.
Let the water flow,
From my eyes.

‘Cause six feet down,
Frozen, unalive.
Six feet down,
No longer around.

I break down,
Crying, I am dying.
You gave up,
So why do I care so much?

Six feet down,
Under ground.
Six feet down,
I can’t see you here.

And I can feel your breath,
But your not here with me.
I can’t cry, my eyes are dry.
I can’t think, you took my thoughts away from me.

Six feet down,
Your heart can’t beat.
Six feet down,
You just sleep.

I can’t see but,
I can feel you near.
And you whisper to me,
But when I turn, I can’t find you there. 

Six feet down,
Black death surrounds you.
Six feet down,
I still want to hold you.

And I die, 
‘Cause this grave is cold and lonely.
And I cry,
‘Cause you were my one and only.

But now your six feet down,
Lying under ground.
Six feet down,
I’m searching all around. 

Six feet down,
And I want to know, why you left me alone.
With no one to console me,
No one but myself to hold me.

When I'M With You

I see it in your eyes,
And every time I look your way. 
Your fingers in my hair, 
Comforting and giving the care I need.

And every time I’m without you,
I feel like I’m losing my mind.
But when your around,
All I want to do is cry.

You make me smile through those tears.
You wipe away my worries and my fears.
Your taking care of me,
And showing me how love can be.

‘Cause when I’m with you.
I’m in a safe haven.
You make me feel good, 
In a bad situation.

I don’t know what to do.
I’ve got all these crazy feelings about you. 
You make me feel like I’ve never felt before,
And now that your standing at my door.

I can’t seem to say the right thing
Everything is jumbled in my head.
I just can’t do anything right anymore.
Ever since you became the one I adore.

Maybe

You think a story like this,
Would be easy to tell. 
But I can’t help fading away,
Just trying to figure out what to say.

Times flying by, 
Trying to help with the pain.
But its digging in,
Just making feel worse to day.

My voice is wearing thin, 
And I’m wearing out.
I don’t have much time,
But I have to figure this one out.

Maybe it’s a dream, 
That I can undo.
Maybe you’re still here, 
And I’m with you.

Maybe, maybe.
I can change me.
Maybe, maybe.
I can save me.

I don’t want to walk down along hallway,
Toward the light anymore.
I don’t want to cry myself to sleep,
Every time I feel pain.

I want to move on,
Maybe just have fun.
I want to get a clue.
Maybe I’ll be like you.

Maybe, maybe.
I’ll find me a friend.
And Maybe, maybe.
This won’t be my end.

Maybe I’ll find someone,
Who will always be there.
Maybe I’ll find one person,
Who can finally care.

You Love Me When I'M Sleeping

You say that you want me,
You tell me you need me in you life.
But how can I stay here,
When you don’t love me right.

You comfort me when I cry,
I can see love in your eyes.
Just say those three words to me,
And I’ll stay eternally. 

You love me when I’m sleeping.
So if I just close my eyes.
Could you tell me you loved me?
I could comfort you if you were to cry.

Just say those words,
Just cry my name.
I’ll be there,
I’ll always care.

How can three words,
Cause so much compilation.
I know feel,
I just can’t deal.

Things should be  that easy. 
If we were to pretend, 
That I was sleeping.
So you could love me to no end.

So one thing, 
When I close my eyes.
Why can you love me when I’m sleeping, 
But not when I open my eyes.

Cause you love me when I’m sleeping.
But I love you all the time.
And if you could see, what I see.
You’d be sure to love with open eyes.

Love Can'T Live

Can anybody really love?
Give themselves over completely
Have someone who really know them,
Who can hold them all night?

You see that sign there in the window,
Saying, ‘I heart you don’t let me go.’
Can someone really feel that much emotion,
About someone who’s just another person?

‘Cause I know people come and they go, 
Their nothing special. They’re just on the same road. 
They take their time or quickly pass by. 
But the sharper the look, the harder you ask yourself why. 

So, can anybody really feel love?
Can anybody really dig that deep?
‘Cause you’ll turn around in circles,
All looking for the same things.

And I’ve heard of loving God,
Loving family, and loving your friends.
But I just don’t think a person could ever get deep enough, 
To feel what their dreaming of. 

Love just doesn’t seem easy enough,
Seems like it should always shine through. 
Or is that just an optimists’ point of view,
‘Cause it don’t seem likely that it will happen for you.

Then why is love even a factor,
When no one seems to hold on to the truth. 
How can love even exist in this world,
After all I’ve been through. 

Caring is a beginning,
Helping out, it becomes a fact.
But nothing ever last for love to hold to, 
‘Cause truth is all love has.

And you can love your children, 
You can love your best friend. 
But to just love some person, 
It’s not a realistic end.

So, love can’t last, and if there’s truth in that. 
I don’t want to live in this world. 
‘Cause all these people who were trying. 
Now are crying, and I can’t live with that.

Rejection

You can't love me, 
Because you know what I am. 
You say you love me, 
But you don't understand. 
It's not the same. 
I'll always be treated like I'm insane. 
A second class citizen, 
Like I'm going to destroy the world we live in. 
I've been hated, 
But its all faded. 
But to have this come from you. 
You were my last hope, 
I just don't know what to do. 
You just don't understand. 
You don't know what its like to be surrounded, 
And be so alone. 
I wish I could make you know. 
I was alone in my heart, 
When surrounded by love and trust. 
I feared rejection from the start. 
But I couldn't give up. 
And you may hate me, 
You may think this is wrong. 
But it makes me happy, 
So its where I belong.

Someday

Sometimes when we hope we think of mountains.
Sometimes when we cry we think of seas.
When I love I think of shattered glass.
‘Cause that’s how you left me.

Standing on a mountain top,
No hope could be found.
Looking over at the surrounding seas,
Before I fell crying to the ground.

I was shattered when you left me,
And broken now that your gone.
Because you were all that I had.
Now I’m just an empty shell.

I don’t know what to tell you.
I know your far away.
But I still hope after all the pain you’ve caused me.
You’ll come back someday.

With and Without You

You said ‘Goodnight’,
And walked out of my life.
You wanted to hear me say,
To feel the way you did.

You wanted something more, 
And you walked out the door. 
Leaving me with things to say, 
All of my wants still hidden away. 

But I’ll tell you now I want to say I’m sorry,
I want to lay down and cry.
And I want you to hold me,
To tell me that everything’s alright. 

But I know that you won’t,
And right now that’s okay.
‘Cause tonight I drown my sorrows,
I drive my pain away.

And I know that this isn’t permanent,
And tonight that’s just fine.
‘Cause if I get one minute,
With you out of my mind.

Maybe I’ll forget, what you meant to me.
Finally realize, we weren’t meant to be.
If I clear my head, If I forget.
Maybe I could let go.

But then all those questions,
Would run through my mind.
Was it the right choice,
Not to chase you when you left me behind.

And don’t think I don’t regret your sad expressions, 
I regret all your tears.
I wish I could just go back,
And chase away my insecurities, all my fears. 

‘Cause I want to be with you,
To have you hold me until our deaths.
But the thought of you terrified me,
Drove me off the edge. 

And I don’t know why I couldn’t tell you,
What was going in my head.
My thoughts were chasing me in circles, 
Chasing me to my end.

And all I want is to rest on your shoulder,
To tell you all my pains.
I want you to be there to assure me,
That everything’s okay.

'Cause I don’t think I’ll survive,
I’m going out of my mind.
With and without you,
I want to be with you.

With and without you,
I’m going to cry.

With and Without you,
I’m scared at night.

With and without you,
I pray that your alright.

With and without you, 
I want to love you. 
With and without you.

Unanswered Questions

I feel confused sometimes,
Frustrated, so angry.
These questions running through my mind,
Are ones I never dreamed I’d be asking. 

The dreams I had for my future are shattered.
The life I planned no longer exist.
So tell me how to explain myself,
Tell me how to resist.

I know people say this wrong,
But they say you have to find your own way.
I know I should have listened to what I’ve learned,
But how can I when emotions run life today.

‘Cause I hurt, and I ache and I churn in my sleep.
I just want to shout on the streets,
‘I’m not the same as you any more,
No I’m not the same as you anymore.’

But if I did, if I let go.
What would happen to me in this crazy world of shame.
Would the pitch forks and torches light up the streets, 
Would everyone be after me. 

Then I think, what should I do?
Would you want everyone after you?
Unanswered Questions, I cry to myself.
Why is this happening to me now?
