No Longer Looking Back

My love for you, is the Milky Way.

A big piece of me, will always remain yours.

When lightning strikes, my heart will ache

With smiles that will never be.

But I'm pushing on, going to unfurl my wings and fly.

I'm going to continue to grow, and be the star, a sun, in the sky

Who's searching for the Universe.

Accepted, wanted, not pushed, truly loved--

And less tears cried.

To find a second home, that I can call mine, forever.

Thank You

You said, you wanted me to be myself.

You said, you loved everything about me.

But your actions were knives to it all--

And I was left, struggling with my emotions.

You led me to think that I was going mad,

But you making me cry is what made it all go bad.

Chorus:

I have no regrets,

Those tears will make me stronger.

You mad me learn, what I didn't know yet,

And made me remember--

That I'm not dead.

So thank you, thank you

For showing me I can still open my heart.

Thank you, thank you

For showing me that the ice is gone.

I needed this, no matter how short it was.

I hope you can forgive me someday.

We weren't right for each other,

I had to end it all to save one another.

Chorus

Kisses and wishes,

we were two twenty-somethings,

Needing saving and redeeming from our pasts.

I couldn't handle it,

I was ready but the intensity was too much.

I'm sorry for breaking your heart.

Chorus

So thank you, thank you

You made me feel my heart beat again

Chorus

Lonely Lover

You can fall, you can run

But love's gonna find you

You can put up a fight, not believe anyone

But love's gonna find you...

Chorus:

When it's right, you'll know

When it's real, it's gonna show

There will be, a lot of crumbled roses

There will be, seas filled with tears

You've got to have faith, because heaven's watching out for you

Don't give up, don't lose hope

Because when it's right, you'll surely know.

You may lose yourself along the way,

You just have to pick up the pieces,

It'll be a brighter day.

Bridge:

Hold on to your hear, lonely lover

Don't be afraid, to give it to another

Just recognize, what you really need

Don't sell out, you'll find your peace, eventually.

Chorus

Bridge

Hold on to your heart, lonely lover

Hold on to your heart--

Hold on to your heart, lonely lover.

Breaking Another

I jumped in too deep,

I gave my heart too quick.

This isn't me, and my soul's a little sick.

My gut's in knots, I'm a little suffocated,

And in order to breathe, I know I'll have to do

What's against what I want,

In order to receive, what I need.

Breathe. Air. Self. Me.

I must break another,

To save what I've worked hard to gain:

My sanity--

My identity.

Go Silent Like Stark Stars

She's going to be silent at some point.

You realize that, right?

You tell her you love her.

Tell her you need her.

Tell her that if there were a chance,

She'd be the weighing factor for your happiness;

That you both could be happy.

Together.

But you tell her that,

Give sweet words.

Memories.

Grab her around the waist when you meet--

Pulling her in, with a slow, gentle grace.

Everything is love.

In your touches.

Your movements.

Each other's sighs.

And then a switch it flipped,

Like on and off,

And she's forced back into your shadows.

She loves you, you know she always will.

She's said it,

But what more,

She's proved it.

You can't keep a woman like that hidden though.

You can't choose other lives without her being pivotal--

Not without her straightening her spine,

Smiling. Loving from inside.

Telling herself that she's fine being friends,

Even though it's the most complicated aspect of her own life,

And always will be.

She's going to find someone else, somehow, some place--

To be the second dawning, to give her a slice of happiness

That she is most deserving.

She will talk, but you may have to pull it out of her.

Where once she wished she could tell you everything,

Share every moment, she will bite her tongue.

You pushed this. You didn't understand that playing games was bad.

She was more worth to you than you could ever find,

And she deserved more than you,

But her heart was only yours.

Now. Now it's time for someone to steal a piece of that big heart.

She doesn't know where.

Doesn't know when.

Doesn't know who.

But she's willing to try.

She's hoping on stars in the sky.

When I Said I'd Be Alright

I won’t be here, when you come home

I’m sorry, but I had to go.

I loved you like dew on the night grass

Giving my heart up like Alice and her looking glass.

Chorus:

The only lie I ever told

Was when I said I’d be alright

But here I am, feeling cold

Praying for some sunlight

So instead of staying home,

I’m driving away on my own.

You gave me pieces of you

The kind I didn’t know how to glue.

Promised me everything would be alright in the end

The only thing I can find is memories in the sand.

Chorus

Passion flowed between us like silent fire

I never thought I’d feel something so dire.

I can’t look back now without chancing tears

Falling in love’s now my biggest fear.

Chorus

The only lie I ever told

Has left me, feeling cold

So instead of staying home,

I’m driving away, driving away, on my own.
