Fear of Love

The man was scared to trust his heart
For delicate types of reasons
People ripped his soul apart
They took kindness for weakness

His brother just got out of jail
He put a roof over his head
Put his own self through some hell
Cause now his brothers in his bed

Years ago he had a love
But darkness was her past
Cause she was having an affair
With the head of their class 

He took his wife out to sea
Had the time of his life
Then lost his head when it came to be
The captains been with his wife

All his problems were of self esteem
Always looking over his shoulder
And couldn't help his fear of love
When he would get much older

For You, My Muse

For you I’d move a mountain
And rearrange the stars 
There’s nothing I wouldn’t do for you
No length would ever be too far
No matter where life leads us
I’ll always wonder where you are
You don’t know how you made me feel
In the passenger of my car

In a sense, you are my muse
But not to be confused
Cause my love has been misused
But I know that this is true
I wasn’t ready to move on
But you are something new
When I look into your eyes, I realize my dreams have come true

Testament of a Hurting Man

The love that’s in my heart
Many wouldn’t understand
People see a monster when I’m just a hurting man
Tell me it’s gon be ok
And that you understand
Please don’t be the reason that I feel this way again

Uncrowned King

I may glitter
But I ain't gold
But under these tremendous amounts of pressure
A Diamond, behold
When it's all said and done
And the story is told
About a King who was humble
Like the fly eating toad
Who wouldn't hesitate to hit them rumble strips on the side of the road
To lend a helping hand to MAN
Cause that's the debt that he owed
In his heart, he loved thy neighbor 
The same way he loved his own
In the hearts of others
Is the place he called home
How long will he roam
On this lonely desolate road
Until he's finally crowned as the King of his throne?

When We Are Together

There is you then there is me
Together we should be
The arithmetic of love 
2 is one when we
Your smile and your grace
My new found happy place
We don’t have to be a item
Having a friend that’s so great
I feel I found a counter part
Someone to reciprocate
Our paths crossed not by coincidence
I believe it’s fate
When you’re around it’s like your energy changes the climate
I feel my vibe rise, to an unfamiliar high rate
Heart beating out my chest I feel my body vibrate
You’re my good luck charm 
I’m ready to raise the stakes
This chance if I don’t take
Would be my life’s biggest mistake
That’s why I’m competing for your heart
Like it was a race
U make me feel invincible
I’ll only accept first place
I’ll go with you anywhere
Especially your birth place 
There’s so many girls who want to be in your place
Jealous cuz I only want to be in your face
When we held hands
I knew it wasn’t fake
Still me smile thinking bout the looks on people’s face
I hope you’ll join me while I take this leap of faith
Hopefully one day Ill see how your lips taste
While I pull you in close
A warm embrace
I fantasize about grabbing the small of your waist
If I can’t have you I’ll feel like I’m in last place
The thought of it makes me feel like I’m in my last days

Boundless Love

My mind’s heart for you
Is a love that’s pure and true
I don’t not think about you
While doing everything I do

I respect that you’re resilient
I’m in love with your brilliance
With you there’s no ceilings
I’m perplexed by you

You take me higher than higher
While walking a tight wire 
And my constant reminder is
I found me when I found you

Never stopped loving you

I never stopped loving you
That’s why I hate you
I really really love you
I really really hate you
I don’t really hate you
That’s how I know it’s love
The only thing I hate
Is I’m not who you’re thinking of
I hate that I love you
When you don’t love me back
Or take into consideration
My dark and ugly past
I know that you’ve been hurt before
I understand your pain
I would hold this umbrella
To shield you from the rain
Even though I know deep down
You wouldn’t do the same
So when I say I hate you
I say it in Love’s name
This heart is what I really hate
The cause of all the pain
I only hate the thought
Of never being your love again
I never stopped loving you
The only one I love
When I said I hated you
I only said it out of love
