What will you do
When you're given another chance?
How can i know
You're a different man?
That this isnt part of
your bigger Plan?
Trust is a big part
Do you think i can?
Taken in by your smile
It'll take a while
For me to break through
If I find out not you're true

ch:
You didn't have to hurt me
And now i want to know
Would you do it all again?
You didnt have to turn on me
And now i need to know
Would you do it all again?
With your second chance
At a first Dance
Again

I'm looking for answers
I just can't find
Just gotta try
to ease my mind
I'll wait and see
Where trusting you
will get me

Cause right now

I'm spinnin' round in circles

I can't find the brakes

I'm gettin dizzy

and it's all just gettin me

More confused

Cause

Already Gone

©Heather McPherson

 

First Rights:Heather McPherson

Date: Oct-Dec 2003?

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

 

You had your say
And i fought back
This is the price I pay
For stating the facts
You know i regret it
But your bags are packed
Your mind is set
on a single track

ch-

I thought you were leaving
But you're already gone
Im usually right
But I couldn't be more wrong
Nothing I do
Can turn you around
Cause you're already gone
You're already gone

I feel you fading
from a touch
to a memory
I'm tired of wasting
My time on you,
waiting
You're not coming back
But i dont wanna feel free
Wish I could take it all back
But i can't...

A Single Tear

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

 

Ch.

A single tear

going down my cheek

A single tear

When i can't speak

A single tear

For you...

 

lovers gotta stick together

true love, is always for ever

Well if, thats true,

then why are you leavin?

maybe thats the reason,

I have a single tear,

For you

 

It's hard enough to say good-bye

But its even harder to try

not to cry............

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

Not sure
But I think you did
Notice that I've been
Passin you by
I could care less
If you look my way
You've lost all my attention
Did i forget to mention
Don't even try to get it back

ch-
No, I'm not bitter
No, my words are said
sarcastically
No, I don't care
That you picked her
I just care that you hurt me

Normally I'd say
That I'm happy for you
That's actually what I used to do
Then I opened my eyes
Remembered the lies
I'm tired of hanging
on the edge
of nothing
Tired of waiting
For there to be something
You were a jerk
Don't even deny it
And you were worse
When's it gonna hit

repeat ch

I felt betrayed
I actually considered you a friend
We used to talk
Now I got nothing left to say
Don't think its the jealousy talking
Baby I'm way passed that
Maybe you'll see
If I give you another day
It'll get through your head
As you watch
ME walk away
For a change

repeat ch x2

Be Here With Me

Date:March 10,2004 (edited March 12)

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

Sun's a risin, Rooster's crowin
As he walks onto the porch
Mailman walks up,Hands him his stuff, He shuffles it around
Sees he's got a letter from her
Wonders what it could be
They haven't talked in so long

He ripped it open
Looked inside
He found a note and a ticket
For a North-bound Train
She said:
I want you to

ch-
Be here with me
Please know I'm sorry
I don't like this feeling called "free"
You never broke my heart
like these two times
Or three.
Its happened so much that
I've lost my count.
So here's my plea
Be Here with Me

He couldn't believe his eyes
Her apology caught him by surprise
He shook his head in disbelief
She had nothing to be sorry about
Free of her ties
He thought she'd felt relief.
He didn't know why
But he took that ride
All the way up to where they last tried
To be together before he moved away.

She was waiting for him
Out there on the platform
She ran to him crying
Said she was sorry for lying
He still didnt know what she was talking about
But he understood one part
where she said:

repeat ch

He made her dry her eyes,
And explain it a bit more
She told him bout how when he left
She had said she didnt love him no more
All cause he didnt like
The place she called home.

She started sobbing again
Sayin it wasn't true
He told her he's the one
Who had some apologizing to do.
He shouldn't have gone
Over the past year he realized just that.
He smiled at her and stroked her hair,
Handed her a paper-he'd sold his farm!
She stared in his eyes as he said to her:

last ch-
Be here with me
Please know I'm sorry
i don't like this feeling called "free"
My life alone was so empty
Be my wife
and live here with me

Better Than That

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

Im still here
And you're still gone
Its never going to be the same
Since the day you played your game
Well you played me wrong
Now I'll move on
Away from you

ch-
Through the pain and the lies
through all the times I cried
Through the scars and the tears
The one thing i kept hearing was
"go on, be strong, you're
Better than that"

You might have played with my head
But you're fun little game is over
My feelings are dead
I just want to tell you
How much it all really hurt
How much it cost me
To go back
When you didnt deserve me

repeat ch

Yah,
I'm better than that
Better than the tears
Better than the time
I've wasted on these years
Get over it
And know it
Suer you broke this one girl's heart
That you "tried" so hard to fix
But baby, I've found a new mechanic
This time there won't be a "next"

repeat ch

Bring Her Flowers
©Heather McPherson

First Rights:Me
Date:Oct...27th? dunno..2004 lol
******************

The roses in full bloom
All seem to smile at you
You can feel the warm breeze
And can't help but sigh
She can't share this with you

ch-
You can bring her flowers
On a warm sunny day
Then as a cold win blows in
Watch as they just fade away
What you had was just too real
You can bring her flowers
But they'll just fade away

Your summer sky
Soon turns to grey
The frost comes in
And just doesn't leave
She just can't seem to stay

repeat ch

(instrumental break)

bridge-
Seventy-three
To two thousand four
You read it over
Every time that you come
She isn't here anymore...

You can bring her flowers
But they'll just fade away...

But You're Mine

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

(Intro*)
I don't want to give her
The benefit of doubt
It's hard enough knowing
That she's the one
Who keeps changing your mind

ch-
You're wasting my time
You just can't make up your mind
You're making me crazy, baby
Tell her sorry,
But you're mine

You say you want more time
Well forget about it
You say you're sorry
Yah, I bet
You say that you're confused
Well you won't be when I'm
Through with you

repeat ch

Your time is running short
Trust me,
If you pick her
It's not the end of the world
But I don't wanna be known
As just another girl
The one that you let go
Baby, don't you know

repeat ch

Bridge-
I had you first
she just got in our way
Now its time
And this is all I have
To Say

repeat ch

 

 

 

Beyond the Curtain (Sirius’ Song)

©Heather McPherson

 

First Rights: Me

Date: December 12, 2006

 ************************

 

I never knew you

I could have known you more

But I didn’t know you

Cause I never got the chance to

You would have risked your life for me

You gave your life for me

 

Chorus-

Beyond the whispers

Beyond the curtain

The secrets you kept

The secret to your end

The secrets you hid

Are you hiding now?

I can almost hear you now

Just there beyond the curtain

 

Black, dark, Black, gone

Black on Black

Soon comes dawn

Walls collapsing

My pillars of strength collapsing

When you fell--

Fall back to me…

 

Chorus-

Beyond the whispers

Beyond the curtain

The secrets you kept

The secret to your end

The secrets you hid

Are you hiding now?

I can almost hear you now

Just there beyond the curtain

 

Bridge-

Why did you go

And leave me?

Where did you go

You left me

Are you alone

Cause I’m alone

Here without you

Without you

Without you…

 

Chorus-

Beyond the whispers

Beyond the curtain

The secrets you kept

The secret to your end

The secrets you hid

Are you hiding now?

I can almost hear you now

Just there beyond the curtain

Just there beyond the curtain

Just there beyond the curtain…

My Songs

Country Boy (aka my trademark song)

First Rights: Me
*********************************
 
Why does it have to be so confusing
When the answer's right
In front of you?
All you thought it was
Was a simple crush
But now you know better
Now you know enough
 
ch-
That little country boy
Stole your heart away
He rounded up your feelings
Rode away.
With his "Hello Ma'am"
And his charmin smile
You know you just cant help but love
That Country Boy
 
You should have known better
From the start
All you saw
Was the better part
You realized
There's more
To this story than before
Now you gotta let him know
Before a new wind starts to blow
 
repeat ch.
 
You want to tell him
You really do
But its the hardest thing
No matter who
Helps you,
Encourages you
Its true
There's always something
In your way
Stoppin you from saying
What you need to say
 
repeat ch.
 
Can't Say Good-bye
©Heather McPherson

First Rights: Me
Date:May 22, 2004
******************

Drop my bag off at the door
Pretending like nothing's
Goin on in side my head
It hurts so much more
Than when it was first said
Now, I could move on,
But the sound just fills my ears
Now, i could hold strong
But it just hurts so damn much
Its too much to stand

ch-
I can hear my heart break
Feel the heartache
I keep saying it'll be the last time
That you'll make me cry
God knows i love you
and only He knows why
But its no use to try
Cause I can't say good-bye

I want to with all my heart,
But I just can't seem to set myself free.
It's like I'm hanging on so desperately
Its like my heart is chained to you.
I'm being torn apart
You're changing everything about me.
I can't let go, even momentarily
Cause I know you'll be at the bottom to catch me
And i just need to forget about you

repeat ch

Good-bye would make it hurt so much more
I'd come back looking for you
To make it all feel better
To make me feel again.
Happy's like some distant shore
Just barely in my view
impossible to get there
Impossible to mend
The pieces of my broken heart
Shattered everywhere
And it's just too damn loud...

repeat ch.
 
Change

First Rights: Me
Date:Dunno
**************************
 
Ch.
Why should I change
Just to please you
Yes I kno I want you
And I kno I need you
But if you dont want me as I am
Then I'm gone
 
There's your change
I stood up for myself
I left you and your attitude
For somebody else
To suffer through
All of your excuses
And the blame you put on me
Isn't mine anymore
I dont know what i stayed
That long with you for
 
repeat ch
 
You just put me down
Saying I had to become someone new
But it made me stronger
Now i kno what I'm going to do
I'm gonna be me
I'll let you see
How impossible it is
For me to change
Who i gotta be

California Sky
©Heather McPherson

First Rights: Heather McPherson
Date: June 18, 2005

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

It was 2 in the morning
With nothing in sight
The city she'd left behind
Silhouetted against the sky
A crescent moon, an empty highway
and their conversation running through her mind
Oh if only she'd said then
What she's thinkin now
She wouldnt be on the road tonight
And it she knew then
What she knows now
Everything would be all right

ch-
The sky got darker
She couldnt take it no more
The bright lights faded
And it started to pour
So many memories,
So many lies
And her tears came down
Under that California sky

She knew she could drive
As far as she wanted
But the hurt wouldnt
Go away
She knew she'd always feel
Like somethin was missin
Cause she'd left her broken heart in L.A
She had to turn around,
Look her demons in the eye
Cause alone, all alone
Baby, even deserts are cold at night

repeat ch

Bridge-
She needed to step on the brakes
Turn back time
Go back to the man
And the city she'd left behind

repeat ch x2

...And her tears came down
Under that California sky...
