TURN OFF THE LIGHTS

I watch you while you sleep

praying you're suffering

be over soon

I hide the tears in my eyes

stroke my hand across your cheek

as my lips quiver

and my voice unable to speak

turn off the lights

I don't wanna say goodbye...

Thoughts run through my mind

memories of the good times

i've watched you

as I grew up and you became older

you're past begun

to be front and center

as your mind and body got weak

time to turn off the lights

I don't wanna say goodbye...

The day

we stood around your bed

whispered that it was alright

no more need to suffer

just let go, we're right here

turn off the lights

it's time to say goodbye....

Watching you take

your last breath

seeing you sleep in peace

no more pain

no more suffering

i'll kiss you one last time

turn off the lights

it's time to say goodbye.

SWEET LOVE

I, when I look at you

my heart skips a beat

and my breath becomes erratic

and i'm gone

so gone for loving you ...

There are no words

or anyone compares to you

you're just so sweet, sweet

sweet love

and I don't know

what I would do....

When I was broken down

you lifted me up

turned my frown

into a smile again...

When the tears came

and I couldn't stop

you held me

held me close in your arms

rocking back and forth

whispering in my ear

such beautiful word

calling me your love....

There are no words

or anyone to compare to

you're just so sweet, sweet

so sweet, sweet love

and you're mine

sweet, sweet, sweet love.

NEVER BREAK ME

You can hate me

you can beat me

you can verbally abuse me

but you will never break me...

I'm stronger then you could imagine

i've been in so much pain before

you're not the first

to put the cracks into my walls

didn't think I could take it

but you are so wrong...

Nothing you can say

nothing you could do

will ever never break me....

I believe

there's always someone better than you

never taken for granted

the things i've learned from you

someday i'll meet somebody

who won't treat me the way you do ...

Looking past my scars and bruises

and worn out look

someone who'll love me

and mean it to....

Never break me

never break me

no matter how hard you try to...

Never break me

never break me

i'm stronger than you.

EVERMORE

Looking for a lover

and not a one night stand

someone who'll hold my hand

walk with me along the beach...

Someone who'll talk

soft and sweet

reminding me

of the woman who I am...

I want someone who'll

be good to me

my forever, evermore...

Someone who'll look

beyond my mood swings

someone wanting

to know all of me

is that too much to ask...

Maybe i'm delusional

by a dream

I just want someone

to be my forever, evermore...

If I stop thinking about it

and stop trying so hard

just maybe that someone

will come along

to be with me

my forever, evermore.

FAITH

I was desperate and down

pockets empty

torn clothes and holes in my shoes

everything you could see of me

could even make a blind man weep..

Walk all day on the streets

alleys where i'd sleep

even when the rain and snow

would get to me

nothing compared to the pain

from the hunger in my belly...

But I have faith

that's what I have

to get me through

no one can take that away

not the richer of riches

not the poor of the poorest

I still have faith...

I wasn't born to be this way

it's all because of the choices I made

I can't regret the life I lived

I sacrificed who I was

and here I am...

But I have faith

yes I have faith

and I believe

some day a miracle

will come my way

out of the gutter

into a new world I will walk

cause I have faith.

REFLECTIONS

As I look into the mirror

nothing looks the same

from the moment I saw it

up until today

changes have occurred

just like night and day

what seems to be suddenly

was only the clock ticking away...

Reflections I see

from smooth silky skin

to wrinkles and crows feet

dark circles under eyes

worn out and tired

from tears and loss of sleep...

In my mind

memories play on rewind

always the same old thing

and all those voices on repeat

but they're something i'll keep

hidden inside of me

never to expose

not even to those that I know...

Reflections I see

of someone I use to be

where are you now

cause I don't feel the same ...

As I stare into the mirror

watching myself age

as every second pass

what will I see

when tomorrow comes

will I remember

or will I fade.

HOW TO SAY GOODBYE

There's one unspoken word

I never got to say

stuck in my throat

parted lips couldn't say...

I thought we'd have

a little more time

talking about

what was in the past

living for now...

But like the dreams

we have when we're asleep

wiped away

by fluttering eyes

opened to take a peek...

All is over

came to an end

like shadows on the wall

a means to the end

when nothings left

how to say goodbye.

[lady-bug-6]

ACCEPT ME

Accept me for who I am

i'm not perfect in anyway

and I don't live with any regrets ..

Shadows can surround me

but the darkness

will never over take me

cause the light inside me

will forever burn...

Even at the lowest low

i'll never hit the bottom

not afraid of today

won't run from tomorrow...

Accept me for who I am

not asking for more than that

who's it gonna hurt

what damage can be done...

When the rain starts to fall

and the chill wind blows

when you're lost inside this world

i'll be the one who brings you home...

Accept me for who I am

won't let you hurt

if you let me in...

Accept me

won't you accept me

please accept me.

BROKEN DOWN

Everytime I look in your eyes

all I see is coldness there

and everytime you touch my skin

you leave a burning feeling

and scars appear...

When I try to talk to you

you turn and walk away

leaving me desperately

trying to catch my breath...

Broken down

shattered to pieces

scattered across the ground

nothing left inside...

Hurt my mind

thinking what I did wrong

tried to find the answer

but nothing comes at all...

I gave you everything

and you soaked it all up

taken all I had

never giving me anything back...

Broken down

shattered to pieces

scattered across the ground

nothing left inside...

Broken down

broken down

i'm so broken down

shattered pieces

nothing left inside of me.

ON A FATHER'S PRAYER

Standing here watching

as your life begins

worried I won't be

the best there is

but i'll do my best

on a father's prayer...

There'll be mistakes

during your growing years

i'll do my best

I promise, I swear

this you can count on

on a father's prayer....

Teaching you to be

helping you along

showing you the way

letting you to choose

knowing it's okay to be wrong

just doing your best

on a father's prayer....

The clock keeps ticking

as the years go by

watching you with your children

at the end of my time

I know I did my best

on a father's prayer.

LOOK AT ME

Look at yourself in the mirror

not at the skin that you're wearin

not gonna be easy to see

it's not of the heart and mind

cause your brain won't let it be ...

Look at me

you're running scared

let social media

dictate who you are

and what you wear...

What happened to your individualism

did they take you a prisoner

closed your thoughts off

keeping to yourself

don't wanna be targeted

called names or chastised

for thinking not the same...

Look at me, look at me

look at me, look at me

standing on the outside

looking in....

And all I see is AI

no more people

just a bunch of robots

getting by

same thought

same speech

not sure who they wanna be ...

No one's safe

in their crazy world

not women, not boys

not men, not even little girls

take it from me

it's the last thing

when you've lost your mind

you've lost everything...

Look at me, look at me

look at me, look at me

happy on the outside

cause you're all miserable

from what I see.

[lady-bug-6]

BLUE AND GREEN

I looked into your eyes

and I fell in love

the world outside stopped

and it was just you and me

nothing else to see

only blue and green ...

Songs from the heart

beating inside us two

music from the lips

whispering I love you

and here we are

blue and green....

No one told us

it would be easy

they'd say it couldn't be

threw obstacles in our way

tried to keep us apart

but we couldn't stay away

blue and green...

Time can pass

nothing stays the same

what we had then

they tried to change

but love can never be broken

and our love remains the same

blue and green.

PRICE OF FAME

You sold yourself

for a little bit

of wealth and fame

didn't realize

the price you'd have to pay

giving up your freedom

to those behind the scenes

they'll make more

then you'll ever see...

Having your name

up in big lights

no control over your own life

tell me was it worth it all

cause after a few years

no one will

remember you at all...

The price of fame

is the wants you

would like for yourself

no matter how great

your talent

someone's out there

to put down the screw ...

Was it worth the chase

that caused your removal

from your family and friends

was it all worth it

the price of fame.

WATCHING OVER YOU

It wasn't my plan

to leave you alone

with my daughter

but God had other plans

to take me away

when I didn't want to...

I'll be watching over you

my open eyes

the color of sky blue

i'll be watching over you...

There'll be some bad days

when you have to play

both mom and dad

to our little one

try not to stress

when she wants to wear

her princess dress

every day of the week ...

You'll just do so fine

i'm not worried at all

i'll be there in your heart

and in your mind

helping you

as if i'm standing by your side..

Remember

i'll be watching over you

my opened eyes

just like the blue sky

i'll be watching over you.

[lady-bug-6]

SAY IT

How many times

do I have to say it

keep repeating it

until you believe me

I don't understand

i'm not like them

so take a chance

and let me in....

I myself have been

a broken heart

cried many tears

sat alone in the dark

never thought

I could find love

closed myself off

from others....

But here I am

standing before you

taking that one step

to reach out for you...

How many times

do I have to say it

i'm not like the others

that came before me

take a chance

open up and let me in...

I can't promise you

the stars and the moon

unreachable things if you'd ask me

but what I can promise you

is what I have to give

my love to you.

[lady-bug-6]

NEVER BE THE SAME

What was it all about

you just standing there

watching me crying

with you a hard cold stare...

Wasn't it all enough

tearing apart my heart

with the sharpest edge of a knife

turning while you dug it in...

Never be the same

the love we had it's gone

holding onto yesterday

never be the same...

Last thing I remember

the accusations you implied

trampling over our love

saying it was a lie...

Forget about you crawling back

begging for my forgiveness

at my feet you swore to me

you'd never do it again

but what a fool i've been...

Never be the same

there's nothing left

between you and me anymore

i'll walk away and that's where

the story ends....

Two people broken apart

but only one heart

never be the same.

DRINKIN ALONE

I don't go out drinking

with all of my friends

I stay here at home

and I pretend

and after a shot

when my focus is cleared

it hits me real hard

i'm drinkin alone

so why am out of beer....

Whether at the bar

or sitting at home

I ain't got no friends

so i'm drinkin alone...

Now maybe

when i'm plastered

leaning against the wall

I mumble my words

and I drink some more ...

I get to the point

where I can't no longer see

and i'm talking to no one

standing around me

because i've been drinkin alone...

I wake up in the mornin

my head hanging off of the bed

i'm laying half naked

and my feet are all wet ...

What the hell did I do

to get me this way

then I remembered

I was drinkin alone again.
