Romeo, Romeo

Romeo, Romeo the great lover
Juliet really made you suffer
Leave her and come to me
I will really make you happy

Juliet is no good for you I can tell 
She made your life a living hell
Remember when for her you took your life?
When she pretended she’s no more alive

Come to me my hero
What love is let me show
For I can make you live again
And forever alive you'll remain

My Lost Love and the Seashore

Walkig on the seashore at noon 
Watching the sun that will set soon 
Everything reminds me of you 
Every step i take, everything i do 
Like my thoughts, the sky is cloudy 
Like my feelings, so blue is the sea 
I look at the horizone, so calm and clear 
Remids me of our happy days when we were near
 I look at the waves and i get upset 
'Cause it reminds me of the fight we had
 And tears roll down of my cheek 
I lost you, will i find you if i seek?
 I feel the water beneath my feet 
Reminds me of your cold lips 
Then my foot drowns into the sand 
Like i drowned in you when you first held my hand 
The wind blows and i feel your touch 
My whole body shivers, oh i miss you so much 
I see your smile as i look at the sun
 Embraces me with love, makes me want to to you run 
The sun is finally setting 
And my desperate soul dying 
I rest myself on a rock, so flexible like your body 
Grab some sand and see how they are apart like me 
Still tears rolling down from my cheek into the water 
The time you find that teardrop, you'll be forgotten forever
 Every teardrop into the sea 
Is how much you mean to me 
Finally i see your face as i look at the moon 
And the stars is so shiny like your eyes at noon 
I still sited there, watching your face and eyes 
And i'll wait to see your smile at sunrise 
Yes, i lost you baby 
but you're never far from me 
For you're the sunset, the sea and its waves 
And in my heart you'll forever remain engraved.

The Woman In the Mirror

I look into the morror at this woman 
Who's drowned in tears for freedom
Freedom from inner pain
That has seized her with chains
Seized her for too many years
And now she wants to disappear

I dry her tears and comfort her
Telling everything will be better
Everything will soon change
All she needs is some courage
Courage to face and stand
'Cause change lies in her hands

She wants to fly away
Make a new life there and stay
Where she can get rid of her pain and anger
Where she can be happy forever
But she thinks she won't be able to make it
'Cause pain is forbidding her to stand on her feet

She wants to live no more
'Cause nothing is left to live for
If she can't be happy then why to live
In life she no more believes
She knows nothing is going to be alright
And to die she has made up her mind

But i hold her back and ask for patience
And that soon she will see the difference
Though i know she's right and i'm wrong
All i'm trying is to make her strong
But the truth i just can't ignore
Got to let it go, can't fool myself no more

'cause I'Ve Missed You

A decade just passed
It's time i must confess
That this long absence of yours
Is making me drown in blues

Everytime i close my eyes
I swear i'm telling no lies
I see your face in front of me
As i try to touch, you disappear quickly

I think 'cause i've missed you so much
And maybe with only one touch
I can regain the feeling of you being here
As the old times drying all of my tears

Would you come back again?
And take away all of my pain
The pain you gave to me that day
When you rode the clouds and went away.

Tell

What a wonderful day it was
When no one was watching the stars but us
Holding hands under the shiny sky
Watching the stars in each others eyes

You made me love my life
I even wanted to become your wife
You became the reason of my happiness
You got me out of all my stress

But important things took you away
You said it won’t take you more than a few days
Please, do hurry and come back my dear
Cause these days are passing like years

Telling my secrets to the rain
Telling without him I'm going insane
Sending letters with birds that are immigrating
Sending kisses with spring’s soft wind

Tell him stars how much I want to be with him
Tell him about him are all my dreams
Guard him angels from any harm and enemy
You know how much he means to me

Tell me moon how is he doing?
Is he happy or in need of anything?
Bring me his news every night
Don’t let me sleep feeling not all right

Let me know sun when he comes home
I'm sick of being all alone
Wake me up with a beam
Then let me tell how much I've missed him

Broken Heart

How painful it is to think you're loved
And with this love forever you'll survive
But your feelings tell you that you're not
The only thing you ever wanted you never got

How shameful it is to feel you're fooled
After thinking on your heart he ruled
And be a chapter in an old book
That no one even gives at it a look

How hateful it is to feel abused
Thinking he's the one and only yours
Then regret the day that you met
Cursing the dreams about him you had

Why everything turns out to be the other way?
Your feelings and thought have different things to say
You think and feel everything's okay at the start
But then all you get is a broken heart

Secrets

Screaming, trying to get out
From my locked heart to my mouth
So dark and old
That are once never told

Hiting on the bloody walls
Torturing my innocent soul
Prisoned for so long
The more they grow old, the more they become strong

Burning like a fire inside my heart
But still they are so dark
So impatient to be free
Still scared out of their home to be

Should i take them to my grave?
Or that will make me live like a slave
Or what if i set them free?
Will that make me comfortable and happy?

Letting out is a lost
Keeping them is the worst
Can't keep them, can't make them leave
How am i supposed this way to live?

Unfair Destiny

I had news about Juliet, my only love
They told me she’s no more alive
I’m running to find out if it’s true
Without her I don’t want to live a second or two
I enter the church where they told me she’s laid
It was true everything they said
She took her own life away
And my heart, without which I cannot stay
Destiny has betrayed me
Turned my life into nothing but agony
I'm crying now, but no more tears coming out
Life has been so unfair to me, no doubt
It took away from me my first and last love
Without which there’s no reason to go on with my life
I have the poison in my hand
And I'm putting to my life an end
Everything turned black, but I see a light
I walk through it, then see my love following me dressed in white

Me!

I'm a butterfly, so soft and sweet
Trying to make it in my one week trip
Wanting to explore each flower, in every time
Willling the next day to see the sunshine

I'm a lost bird without a nest
Flying away from east to west
Singing alone my sorrowful songs
Hoping soon I'll find a place to belong 

I'm a blue soul wondering around the world
Carrying with me a body of a girl
Searching for love and serenity
But only if people could see me

Look inside me, look who i am
Loving and caring are not shame
Open your heart, give me your hand
Trust in me, accept me as a friend.

Don'T Say You Love Me

Don't say you love me
Just hold my hand baby
Sit next to me here
That's when your love to me is so clear
'Cause when you're around
Nothing but love is found
I don't want to hear words from you
Most of the words can be untrue
They are not to show, but to be heard
An action speaks much louder than a word
Don't tell me how much you love me
Show me how much you do really
surround me with your arms
Protect me from harms
Hold me so tight
Never let me go day and night
Make me feel your love in my heart
Let it shine in the dark
I want to touch it
I need to feel to be complete
So let your talkative mouth shut up
And instead kiss me with no stop
