Losing You

The day I knew I lost you, my heart began to sink, I could never get my head straight, but to only sit and think.
The good the bad and all the times of how u made me feel, when I was with u Debbie, I was as happy as could be.
In life we always try to hard or never try at all, but being with you all I knew, is that I had it all.
You know that you will always have my heart for you to hold, so never take for granted, the things that you've been told.
Its never late to try again, and make our love be great, the way we wore, just once before and sitting talking late.
Iv lost my life, but that u know, cause its you I'm talking of, iv also lost my heart, my soul, but most of all my love.
Il never be to far away, for you to come and see, that all you need to do pumpkin, is close your eyes for me.
I'm lost inside I cannot win but if I had you here, us together, you and me, it would all become so clear.
I met my angel when I met you, your heart it is just gold, your smile and beauty was so rare, but the feelings are always there.
I wish I was there, to hold you close, I would never let you go, to getting so close to you is all that I crave, and what we have been threw, I no we can save

Feelings Inside

If ever a day come's in life which I know,
That feeling of being here all alone.
I'm locked in the thought's that are stuck in my head, in a room with four wall's and only a bed.
That feeling of loneliness is draining me threw, cause all that I want is to speak to you.
People keep saying to just give it time, 
And sooner or later we'll talk and we'll shine.
But having these feelings all locked up inside, is getting to hard cause I want to confide.
I do know that one day I'll let it all out,
Then people may know what it's all about.

It's Over Now

If ever you were coming back
Could we really get back on track
What if time has past us by
All that's left is to say goodbye

We never expect this day to come
And when it does we feel so numb
The heart it keeps on breaking each day
We do not talk we have nothing to say 

If I could talk to you once again
And try to take away our pain
I'd make you see our love is great
But then again you say it's too late

I Can Do It

Life is full of wonderful things
Grab with both hands, and take what it brings.
Sometimes you might not get what you want, so given the chance don't you say that you can't.
Anything's possible you can do it all
Keep telling yourself, stand proud and stand tall.
If people are saying that it will not work
Go prove them wrong, and do it with a smirk

What If

What if I had listened from the start
Would you have let me win your heart?
What if I hadn't text or called
Would you have even cared at all?
What if I had left you to be alone
Would your love for me have grown?
What if in life we could turn back time
Would you take me back an just be mine?
What if we could fix are broken wound's
Would are love be greatly resumed?

Summer Nights

Summer nights 
Bright white light
Laughing friends
Evening thread's 
Alcohol consumed
Conversation resumed
All worries lost
At no single cost
Fire burning lightly
Stars shining brightly
Dusk will soon turn to dawn 
Myself I will yawn
Wave my friends goodbye
Go to bed, get shut eye

Thinking Less

What if for a day that we just stop thinking, about all of the things that make us feel sinking.
How would you feel deep down inside,
Would it fill you with all sorts of pride.
We keep wrecking our brain's wondering why, things like this happen so we sit and we cry. 
But if you are positive for just a day,
Your thoughts will get better in more than one way.
