**************************************

I survived you the first time
I can do it again
I'll leave this time
Before I feel the pain
You won't see the same thing
That you saw before
Cause i won't put up
I'm not stayin no more

ch-
No more
Will I be
Crying inside
No More
Will you see me
With tears in my eyes
No more
Will I be
Takin in your lies
No more
Will you se eme
Around here
No More

I'm not going to listen
To your sweet talk this time
You're not going to fool me
With you little rhymes
Enough of your promises and lies
I'm slammin the door
And walkin away
You won't see me
Around here No more

**********************************

How many times
Are you gonna do that
Stop being such a brat
You're just being a fool
Can't have just you in control
In this game for two
There's no "I" in "us"
You might think
Im making a big fuss
About nothing
But really
When is "later"
to you it must be "never"
Cause you never end up calling

ch-
Now
Its no longer up to you
If you say your gonna call
Then do it
No more
"Later"'s
No more
"See You around"'s
what i want from you
is a Now

You know I want to be with you
But you won't let me get close to you
Iv'e been drivin myself crazy
Sittin at home
Stayin by the phone
Hopin it'll ring
Hopin its not something
I did
Did I say something wrong?
Cause its been so long
Since ive heard from you
Maybe the lines been dead
Or hey maybe
I'll just move on instead?

repeat ch.

Next time I see you
Ill do like you do
Just blow you off
Walk on by
Cause there's no point sayin hi
If you really dont wanna chat
Dont say your phone's been stolen
Im tired of hearing that
No more excuses
Just keep movin
Ill be the one that chooses
When "later" is

*********************************************
 
You are you
And I am me
No one else can see what I see
They've all failed
When they've all tried
They can't see
Where these feelings of mine
Began
 
ch-
I will never
Never underestimate what you can to
You make me feel
You make me think
Through the good
Through the bad
Through all the times we've had
It was you
 
I guess next time
I shouldn't give up on you so soon
You were just hiding
The real you that no one knew
And if only you showed
This side more often
I'd know what you could do
I'd know you're not just all talk
 
ch-
I will
Never underestimate what you can do
You make me write
You make me sing
Through the good
Through the bad
Through all the times we've had
It was you
 
You can tell I've just noticed
This new side of you
I've got plenty of songs now
About the old and the new
I've been thinking too much
Been feeling too strong
Gotta make sure next time I'm not wrong
 
repeat 2nd ch
 

 
Million

**************************
 
A million questions,
runnin thru my head
A million questions
To what you've just said
Tears are fillin up my eyes
Is what you're sayin full of lies?
 
Ch.
Are you really in love with me?
Can it really be?
I've been waiting for so long
Dreamin all day long
tryin to be strong
Is it really true?
Do you love me too?
 
I'm having second thoughts
I'm starting to doubt
Are you playin with my head
Is this some sort of trick?
Is this where it all led?
You gotta let me know
And let me know soon
Cause "i love you"'s not enough
It's tearin me apart
Are you playin with my heart?
 
repeat ch.
 
Bridge-
Tell me tell me boy
Tell me now
Is it really true
Cause I've been waiting for you
Is there more than meets the eye?
Are you relly that kind of guy?
Cause "I love you" 's not enough
This is tearin me apart
Are you playin with my heart??
 
repeat ch.
 
My Shadow

******************************
 
Shadows on the wall
Tryin to get me not to fall
But too bad,
They're too late,
I've already fallen
For you

ch-
Your sweet smell
You blue eyes
I couldn't forget if i tried
Your smile
And you laugh
I'm losing all I know
Sittin here,
What i was,
My shadow

Have I changed?
You tell me
I can no longer see
Black from white
My colourless world
Was brightened by you
Too bad you dont
-Too bad you cant
-Won't let youself
Feel this too

repeat ch

The whispers
The movements
They're tellin me
Not to fall
Well they're too late
I'm too far gone
No going back
Cause I've already fallen for you

My Cowboy

Date: November 1, 2003
*******************************
 
I love it when you be like that
Standin with your
big ol' cowboy hat
Smilin' like you own the world
For one moment
I'm your girl
For one moment
I'm you're whole world

ch-
And now
I'm glad I feel this way
You make it all worthwhile at
times like this
I wish I could freeze this day
Cause I know I'm just going to miss
My Cowboy

We could just stand there
And talk forever
About Garth Brooks
and Alan Jackson
But the truth is
When its all done
The moment's gone
You'll drive away
Leavin me to say:
 
repeat ch

You'd been lookin for me
All over the place
You walk on by
Grinin' like you own the place
Tip your hat
say "Howdy little lady"
Like the world began
and the moment starts again
 
My Tragic Flaw

First Rights: Me
Date: October 19, 2003
********************************
 
The more things change
The more they stay the same
I think everyone agrees
There's not a moment you can freeze
Just keep rollin'
And movin'
Tired of always
Stayin like this
 
ch-
Inability to change
Its causin' too much pain
Its the feelin' of standin' still
Its all so familiar
It won't change at all
I'm just going to fall
Its my tragic flaw
 
Choose the road
already travelled
It feels safer,
safer
Than what might be waiting
What other pain
Is waiting out there
Probably something worse
I'll never know
I feel like I could burst
But I'm not alone
 
repeat ch
 
I wish I could change
See a world of difference
Maybe someday
I'll see what
I'll get to be forever
And never
ever
look back

*******************************
 
Hey, i know i dont know
Exactly whats wrong
But I've done this for my other friends
I felt its time for YOUR song
I hate seein yah down
I hate seeing yah blue
I dont know what it’ll take
To make to laugh
I ain’t got a clue
Like i said to Sondra
Here’s a song
From me
To You

ch-
Il mio amica,
Io amare tu
Tu sono sempre
Cosi motto allegria
Io voglio vedere che
tu sorride ancora

Lalala
you're tellin me now
Well, it might be too late
Cause i kinda take long
To finish a song
and i want this one to be special
Like the one for your sis
Special like this
Just for you
Lalala
hee hee hee
i dont know what im saying
This is just me being me

repeat ch.
 
Hun, you know I love yah
I hate how this had to happen
All I have's a hug
And a shoulder to cry on
If you ever need it again
I hate seeing you like this
I don't know what to do
Just remember
"It's like hahaha SCREW YOU!
I got up and left when you weren't expecting it!
nener nener nener!"
Oh, and Survivor!
Outplay, outlast, outwit
What's that gotta do with anything?
Nothin I'm just bein' a twit!
 
repeat ch
 
(chorus means:
My friend
I love you
You are always so much fun
I want to see you smile again
In Italian)
 
Mirror Lake

********************************
 
The stars were out
The moon shone bright
Everything was peaceful that night
But bitter words hung in the air
How she told him
"Life ain't fair"
She just couldn't lie no more
She walked away
stumbled to the shore
She fell to her knees
And cried
"Oh God, help me, please...
 
ch-
This can't be me
Lookin up
Its gotta be a fake
This can't be my reflection
in this Mirror Lake
 
Her tears glistened down her face
Fell one by one
Onto the glassy surface
Shattering the calm
It broke her heart
to know that she couldn't go back
It tore her apart
Made her world seem black
Love for her was rare
And she lost her only chance
She raked her fingers though her hair
Felt the chilling breeze
Looked around and cried,
"Somebody, anybody, please...
 
repeat ch
 
She slapped the water
Splashed it everywhere
she just didn't care anymore
All she ever wanted
All she ever hoped for
Everything was ruined
All because of her
There was no point trying to outrun it
She could clearly see
All the damage that was done
Her face fell to her hands
As she hoped he was ok
She cried
"I love you, can't you just forgive me
...please?
 
Bridge-
Why'd I do it?
Why didn't I stop?
I didnt want to break his heart
Now its breakin mine
I can't stand to look myself
In the eye

One Day You'll Know

************************************
 
The rhythm of my heart beating
Remembering when you bent to kiss me
The warmth of your smile
The light in your eyes
The strength of your arms
holding me tight
 
ch-
Block out the world
Stay in the light
Hope that a new day
Will make it all right
But in our darkest hour
I remember the storm
And I swear
One Day You'll Know
 
v2-
Sooner or later
I'll have to face the fact
True enough
You might never come back
But tomorrow's promise
Shows us one thing
Our love
Is Thicker than water
You could be breaking free
And out of the darkness
Come what may,
You could be coming home to me...
 
Bridge-
     Everything you are to me
     Everything you mean to me
     Its so easy to see
     So why dont you wake up
     Come back to me
     And see
     I need you

V1-(insert ideas here lol)

ch-
Well you yelled at me
And I yelled back
There were no tears yet
But we knew they'd come
I slammed the door
Revved my car into gear
Took one last look
Then I was outta here

Drove off to my parent's place
Took a long, long cry
Tried to forget your face
Got tired of feeling sorry for you
And sorry for me
and the hurt came back
So much I couldn't even see
Well i yelled at your picture
Up in my old room
And i threw it
Yah I threw it
And a million shattered pieces
Yah a million broken pieces
Fell to the floor
Not forty five minutes since

repeat ch

You showed up
Guess my daddy let you in
He always knew
you'd win my heart in the end
Ever before I did
Yah even Before I did
And you wanted to be let in
Yah you begged to be let in
Well I opened up my door
And you came through
I was almost in tears when

last ch-
You forgave me
And I forgave you
There were no tears yet
but we both knew they'd come
We went outside
hand-in-hand
Revved our car into gear
I smiled over at you
And together
We were outta here

****************

 

I’m lyin in your bed

Wrapped up in your blanket

The TV’s turned on

But I don’t know what’s playin

Cause I’m watchin you there

Lyin sleepin beside me

Knowin if someone walks by

And sees me here with you*

Well then baby, we’re busted

Cause we can’t let on

We can’t let it show

 

Ch-

Livin life on the edge

Not knowin what’s comin

Not knowin what’s next

Don’t know where we’re goin

I’m falling, falling

Into your arms

And nobody can know

Nobody can know

 

You kiss me when no one’s looking

You hold me when we’re alone

Whether it’s your brother in the next room

Or our friends just down the hall

Baby, we’re getting good at hidin it from them

Whispering “I love you” in my ear

Late one Friday night

I want to tell the whole world that you’re mine

But we both know I just can’t

 

Repeat ch

 

Bridge-

It’s dangerous, dangerous

To be so close to the edge

Can’t get caught, can’t be seen

Cause they won’t believe

You can’t fall in love

At seventeen

 

Repeat ch x 2

 

Tag-

I’m lyin in your bed

Wrapped up in your blanket…
