Looking for Something Left

Once there was a love

That was never spoken of.

Lasted for years—

Until the man broke my heart.

Chorus:

And now there’s a gaping hole

Spreading in my chest,

When I look in your eyes

I’m looking for something left.

A trace of the man I knew

A trickle of the warmth

Before coldness said hello.

What happened to you?

You used to be so kind.

I knew when something was the matter,

I understood what I could, but why?

Chorus

I’m looking for something left,

When I look in your eyes—

Please, stop saying goodbye.

Hope Walked Out

So you’ve found a new girl, you say

Didn’t want me getting my hopes up

It’s your way of telling me

That there ain’t an us.

Chorus:

Well this isn’t a love song

That I’m singing this time.

Baby, hope walked out of this heart,

Walked out long ago.

Don’t worry, I won’t get excited anytime soon.

But baby I still miss you,

And that hole in my chest still loves you.

I’m hoping that she makes you happy,

You’ve been hurt once too often in the past

I’m your friend so I’m standing here

Wishing you the best.

Chorus

Do I want you happy and in love?

The answer to the question will always be yes.

Do I want it to be someone else, hell no, I don’t.

I’m always going to be left wondering: what if?

Chorus

Baby, hope walked out of this heart,

But that hold in my chest still loves you.

Lonely One

He ain’t happy,

He’s so lonely,

He can’t find no one to love,

That’s what happens when you live

A life of prestige.

Nothing can fill the space in his heart,

Not even money.

Chorus:

He is the lonely one,

All alone;

Sadness fills him,

But heaven up above,

Won’t let him be lonely long,

Won’t let depression consume him.

Won’t be lonely no more.

He stands outside the flower shop,

And watches the girl

Behind the countertop.

He watches as she arranges

Roses and carnations,

For others’ loved ones.

He wants to be her one.

Chorus

He wants to give

The pretty girl who doesn’t

Even know his name,

A pretty flower

Pretty just like her face;

And tell her that he wants

To be by her side.

Chorus

Heaven will answer

The lonely one’s prayers,

Fill up the empty space

That has haunted him

For far too long.

He’s going to get to be with her,

He’s going to get to share all his love.

Chorus

Can I Forgive You?

Hello stranger,

Nice to know you,

Welcome back,

It’s been a long time

Since I’ve seen you.

Chorus:

Been five years

Since we had our fight,

Now you’re coming back

Wanting to apologize…

Can I forgive you?

It’s hard to talk to you,

I don’t know what to say,

I’ve been lost without you

But I can’t tell you

What if you walk away?

Chorus

If I forgive you,

It’ll be because I still love you.

I still care for you.

However, trust is in the question

I’m not sure where we stand.

Chorus

Should I forgive you?

Have You

Do you remember me?

I sure remember you.

I remember those eyes,

I remember that face,

I remember those hands

That held onto me so tight.

My heart and soul aches

As I remember how we once loved,

Will you come back into my life,

Carry me from the ashes like

A tainted savior raising me from the grave

In which I buried my heart.

Chorus:

In the dark we hide, our denial

That we ever loved at all

Inside I’m crying

Because I know I’ll never have you

Like I did once before.

But maybe we can have another chance,

I pray that chances are something

That can be granted more than once.

Is there still a piece of me inside of you

That you still hold onto just like your arms

Once held me close to your chest?

Come back into my life and stay there

Be the soul mate I once believed you were.

I’ll bite the forbidden fruit

If that will mean that I can have you

No need for seduction

All we need is the truth.

Chorus

Unfortunately for me,

I don’t believe that you will give me what I need

The redemption, the peace

Because you were always stuck in your ways

A crazy mustang that no woman could tame for long,

But I’m on my bended knees hoping.

I’m hoping that you’ve changed

But that the person I once adored

Is still there inside, too.

Can you reach out to me?

Let your heart remember the love we shared,

You’re existence keeps this hope alive.

Chorus

Like I did once before.
