I Would

It's probably not wise to say a word,
But I feel young and reckless,
Wisdom's hardly on my mind,
So I may cry to the night,
Maybe I am feeling,
Something more for you,
I'm sure the feeling kind,
Let's you and I blow up the night.
I'm not saying I need you,
I'd forget it now if I could,
I'm just letting dreams run,
I'm just saying, I would.

Reflection on a Relationship Past

Today I got to feeling down,
Because it's been a while since you were around,
But you weren't good for me,
And I'm better now.

Feeling fresh heartbreak is hard,
Holding back the tears,
As I rushed down city streets,
Wishing it would rain then.

For that moment I was sad,
But so many superstars have told me,
I am who I am and I am wonderful,
And they couldn't be more right.

I'm someone worth having,
But you were a rotten catch,
So please enjoy your rotten life,
I sure don't want you now.

Young Love

You know I'd be ready for love,

Because that's so sweet and fun,

Though it seems when we are young,

It doesn't last all that long,

But summer days filled with kisses,

Smiling, laughing, intimate touch,

We'll just soak up the sun,

And live dreams under stars when night has come,

Then we shall lose it,

Our young hearts will break,

But young hearts are strong,

Baby we'll live on,

You know your love was worth this heartache.

Arguing

Please get out of my head,

And out of my dreams,

Stop being my frustration,

My heartwrenching pain,

Take these memories from me,

Unless you come into my life again,

To stand by my side,

Hold me close,

Because though we argue,

I'd rather argue with you,

Than agree with anyone else.

Nightmare

Everything trying to bring me down,

But when I look up I see,

The world's still beautiful,

But you're not with me,

So when I smile it feels wrong,

It doesn't reach my eyes,

They've adopted pain,

And lost their shine,

So I look down when you still say you care,

That's something I'll believe,

If I wake from this nightmare.

Logical Love

Thinking of the good times hurts so much,

It was an amazing year we had,

They say all good things must end,

And they say we’re both rational people,

So now we’ve done the, logical thing,

But really, logic don’t come into love.

Tea

Enough of the fighting,

Enough of my fears,

The pain and the anger,

Enough of my tears,

After it all,

The thoughtless words,

The icy silence,

The things that hurt,

You are my darling,

The man for me,

And all we need is a hug,

And a nice cup of tea.

Dancing

How do you keep dancing,
When everything hurts,
I want to be in shining light,
But there's a shadow hanging over me.
How much strength does it take,
To stand straight and tall,
When you feel like crashing down,
Curling up so small.
Will you be my jazz,
My swing, my rock and roll?
Just please don't be,
My final curtain call.

Brave Face

Such a brave face,
Taking in the days,
Letting it all wash over,
Not letting anything bring her down.
But a face can reveal,
So much after time,
As the hurt breaks through,
She's thrown over the edge.
Suddenly that pretty face,
Was all streaked and stained,
as the tears crashed down,
Because she simply couldn't take it,
Anymore.

Where Next?

I don't know what we're doing,
Don't know what you see,
I've so many questions,
About you and me.
You think I'm pretty,
And you kissed me that night,
But now what happens,
Is everything alright?
Is there more to this,
Than drunken mistake,
I'm just here waiting,
For the next move you make.

Nothing Serious

There's that boy I know,
He appreciates me for me,
Nice arse a bonus.
I love talking to that boy,
He knows I'm a person,
Not just a pretty face.
We're young and have dreams,
There's no need to rush.
We're enjoying the company,
There's no judgement,
We can understand.
Living and laughing,
Nothing serious.

A Masking Tale

The time I spent staring into your deep pools of eyes,
Could be seen as a deep waste of life,
I was captured staring into your mind,
But what your eyes told were cheap rotten lies.
They spun a tale of beauty, nature and peace,
But that was nothing like what was underneath.
Beneath the sparkling blue was betraying black,
But I was caught in the pool with no turning back.
I fell and I floated and I trusted in you,
I was safe in your beauty,
Loving the time we shared,
All the while you masked just how little you cared.
Then your eyes were blank,
No longer safe swimming pools,
They were a harsh, dark sea,
With horror stories ready to drown me.
I fell and I struggled not believing the truth,
I made my own pools from the pain you drew.
I was on my own with no beauty to see,
A total wreck you left me.
Slowly the sun dried the damage you left,
Light returned to my life,
But what is lost shall not be forgotten,
I'll never forget how you treated me then.

Nice Girl

She looked like a nice girl,

He looked like a waste of space,

I could see she was unsure,

But she smiled anyway.

She was pretty,

And too good for him,

I think she knew,

But they left together still.

I wonder what they’re doing now,

After that awkward date,

She could do better,

But is she with him anyway?

The World You See

Don't you know,
We live in different worlds.
We see different wrongs,
And have different rights.
There's always opinion,
But rarely alike.
You look one way,
I see another light.
You'll never see,
From my view.
These harsh truths,
Won't get to you.
How my insecurity,
Brought it to me,
That means something different,
In the world you see.

Blue Roses

Red rose is dead,
As you to me,
I'm still trapped,
But should be free.
There is no more,
But I can't let go,
Lost in a world,
But you don't know.
We had our time,
Some things you never knew,
I know you never will,
But blue roses make me think of you.

Mind Reader

I see you standing there,
Across the floor,
It looks an innocent scene,
But I can see more.
Your arm’s around your girl,
And boy she’s a catch,
But I know it’s not right,
That’s not a perfect match.
You see me,
Across the floor,
You’re with your girl,
But you want more.
Watching you,
I’m feeling like a mind reader,
‘Cause I know what you’re thinking,
You don’t really need her.
You’re playing twisted games,
No one else can see,
You’re with your girl,
But you wish your girl was me.
It’s your hopeless dream,
That we’ll be together,
You won’t listen,
When I say never.
Your poor girl,
She wouldn’t believe,
For a chance with me,
You’d definitely leave.
What you’re doing,
Is sick, twisted, wrong,
Your arm around your girl,
Your mind on me all along.

I Went To Bluff Hill

I went to Bluff Hill,
And watched a ship come in,
Thinking of days past,
And how things begin.
Time changes everything,
Nothing stays the same,
There will always come a time,
When only memories remain.

The sea breeze chilled me,
Sent a shiver down my spine,
But there’s still a certain warmth,
To that special place of mine.

Treasure the good,
And face the rough,
All experience holds worth,
Never think it’s enough.

I went to Bluff Hill,
And watched a ship go out,
Thinking of how things end,
And what life’s about.
Enjoy good while it lasts,
But don’t shy from something new,
Though some things hurt,
Pain becomes a memory too.

Someday, somehow.

You made me feel wanted,
You made me feel loved,
Once upon a time,
But a lie like that,
Was going to die.

We knew you were used,
My personal abuse,
As you yourself hit the ground,
You were still there,
Breaking my falls.

Our lives go on,
Though confused,
You are stronger now,
And I'll make it too,
Someday, somehow.

Boy That I Once Knew

You're like the addiction,
That I left behind,
May not need you like I did everyday,
But you're always on my mind.
I used to fall on you,
Trusting that you'd catch me,
Now I fall on the ground,
Past truths I couldn't see.
Yet as each day comes,
I take it in my stride,
Even with you gone,
Nothing I have to hide.
Almost as strong now,
As I was with you,
But if I lose my footing,
You are still the boy that I once knew.

Fear

Do you hate what you've done,
Do you mean what you say,
Is this going to be how love is,
Until your dying day?

Do you have regrets,
Do you care about me,
Do you believe,
We were ever meant to be?

Was it me,
Or is it her,
Which words stand true,
Who do you prefer?

Will I ever believe,
The words I hear,
After betrayal and mistrust,
I have a fear.
