More Beautiful You

More Beautiful You

(As performed by: Jonny Diaz)

Little girl fourteen flipping through a magazine
Says she wants to look that way
But her hair isn't straight her body isn't fake
And she's always felt overweight

Well little girl fourteen I wish that you could see
That beauty is within your heart
And you were made with such care your skin your body and your hair
Are perfect just the way they are

[Chorus]
There could never be a more beautiful you
Don't buy the lies disguises and hoops they make you jump through
You were made to fill a purpose that only you could do
So there could never be a more beautiful you

Little girl twenty-one the things that you've already done
Anything to get ahead
And you say you've got a man but he's got another plan
Only wants what you will do instead

Well little girl twenty-one you never thought that this would come
You starve yourself to play the part
But I can promise you there's a man whose love is true
And he'll treat you like the jewel you are

[chorus]

So turn around you're not too far
To back away be who you are
To change your path go another way
It's not too late you can be saved
If you feel depressed with past regrets
The shameful nights hope to forget
Can disappear they can all be washed away
By the one who's strong can right your wrongs
Can rid your fears dry all your tears
And change the way you look at this big world
He will take your dark distorted view
And with His light He will show you truth
And again you'll see through the eyes of a little girl
[chorus] 

I've only recently discovered this song... I love it!  I love the message it send to young girls and women alike... It's inspiring and powerful and beautiful.

Goodbye

I’m sorry I didn’t say goodbye

But it only would have come out wrong

Please don’t think I didn’t try

But I’ve done so much to prove I’m strong

So this is my farewell to you

The final thoughts I’ll share

I hope that they won’t leave you blue

Just know how much I cared

Please know I don’t resent you now

The way you think I do

I’ve never questioned why or how

Our dreams don’t follow through

I understand the way you felt

I respect the choice you made

I’ve learnt to live with what I’m dealt

Over time the ache will fade

So now I’m gone, I’m moving on

And starting to pull through

No regrets, I won’t forget

The time I spent with you

I wrote this right after I first moved to Flin Flon as a final farewell to the love I left behind.  The thing is though.... moving on is never that easy.  Its a conscious decision you must make everyday... To let go of the past to move forward with the future.... Now that I am heading back to Swan River I have to wonder can I still make that decision each day?

If You Tolerate This

If You Tolerate This Then Your Children Will Be Next

(As performed by: The Maniac Street Preachers)

The future teaches you to be alone
The present to be afraid and cold
So if I can shoot rabbits
Then I can shoot fascists

Bullets for your brain today
But we'll forget it all again
Monuments put from pen to paper
Turns me into a gutless wonder

And if you tolerate this
Then your children will be next
And if you tolerate this
Then your children will be next
Will be next
Will be next
Will be next

Gravity keeps my head down
Or is it maybe shame
At being so young and being so vain

Holes in your head today
But I'm a pacifist
I've walked La Ramblas
But not with real intent

And if you tolerate this
Then your children will be next
And if you tolerate this
Then your children will be next
Will be next
Will be next
Will be next
Will be next

And on the street tonight an old man plays
With newspaper cuttings of his glory days

And if you tolerate this
Then your children will be next
And if you tolerate this
Then your children will be next
Will be next
Will be next
Will be next

I loved this song when it first came out.  It really makes you think of the state of the world today.  The poverty and hunger that some people suffer from while others are making billions of dollars.  It hardly seems fair that while some children die of hunger and disease others are driving around on quads at the age of five and have trust funds that could feed a small country.  Do you want your child to be one of the sufferers... now as a child, or even later when they are grown?  It's time to make a change.

Temptation

A brushing hand

A strong sensation

A knowing look

A deep temptation

A perfect night

A peaceful scene

A quiet place

A real dream

A longing glance

A tender touch

A settled heart

A body rush

A wordless speech

A silent sigh

A hearty laugh

A watchful eye

A brushing hand

A strong sensation

A knowing look

A deep temptation

Those moments come upon us sometimes... Moments when we need to resist what we want to do and do instead what we must do... If we are strong we can fight them, if we are weak we'll give in... 

Thief

THIEF

(As performed by: Our Lady Peace)

I don't want to understand this horror
There's a weight in your eyes, I can't admit
Everybody ends up here in bottles
But the name tag's the last thing you wanted
As the world explodes we fall out of it
And we can't let go because this will not go away
There's a house built out in space...

I can't see that thief that lives inside of your head
But I can be some courage at the side of your bed
And I don't know what's happening and I can't pretend
But I can be your, be your...

Someone help us understand who ordered
This disgusting arrangement; time and the end
I don't want to hear who walked on water
Cause the hallways are empty, clocks tick
As the world implodes we fall into it
And we can't go home because this will not go away
There's a house built out in space...

I can't see that thief that lives inside of your head
But I can be some courage at the side of your bed
And I don't know what's happening and I can't pretend
It's a long, long getaway
It's a long, long getaway
Make it home again
Make it home again
It's a long, long getaway
It's a long, long getaway...

I can't see that thief that lives inside of your head
But I can be some courage at the side of your bed
I don't know what's happening and I can't pretend
But I can be your, be your out of here
And I can be your, be your out of here
It's a long, long getaway...

By far one of my favorite songs.... and by one of my favorite artists.... It may interest you to know that this song was written about a young girl in Ontario with an inoperable brain tumor.  Raine and his wife Chantal met the young girl and then wrote this song in her honor.  Have a listen.

 

Survival 101

I’m in ruins

Bitter pieces of me shattered upon this world

No one ever knew the real me

Not even you

I spoke to you with racing heart and shaking hands

Barely knowing what I said

And you left before you understood

Who I am without you? 

I don’t know

I don’t feel anymore

Hollow like an old guitar

Emptied like a recycled bottle

Wasted… So very wasted

Does love ever play fair?

It’s a game, life’s a game

Survival 101

Sustenance, shelter

With out you I’m neither satisfied nor safe

Ever so hungry and ever so cold

Broken in this wilderness

Unable to pull through

You were the glue that held me

You did more guide me

You moved me

You gave me a reason to take that step

Then took it away

I’m at a stand still

Looking around

Looking for you

But only hearing the breeze

Don't ever let someone make you void.  Don't depend on them for your happiness, don't place all your hopes in them.  People are only people and as a whole we are uncaring and selfish.... It's not right... but it is the way of today's world.  Be strong... be who you are and don't let any person own you....

Misery

MISERY

(As performed by: Pink And Stephen Tyler)

Another night and these blues got me down
Oh, misery! I sure could use some company
Since he's been gone I ain't been the same
I carry the weight like an old ball and chain
Guess its all meant to be
For love to cause me misery

Oh misery! Oh misery!
Tell me why does my heart make a fool of me
Seems its my destiny
For love to cause me misery

And, oh! I've been down this road before
With a passion that turns into pain
And each time I saw love walk out the door
I swore I'd never get caught again

But ain't it true? It takes what it takes
And sometime we get too smart to leave
One more heartache for me
Another night of misery

Oh! And oh misery! Oh misery!
Tell me why does my heart make a fool of me
Oh misery! Oh misery!
Tell me why, why, why, why, why, why does this
heart make a fool of me
Seems its my destiny
For love to cause misery, oh
Misery
Guess its all meant to be
For love to cause me misery, oh, no, yeah
Misery 

I love the tone of her voice in this song.... I really do enjoy the blues and this is a prime example of modern day blues music.... What a voice!

Breathe

Winter sets across your moon struck eyes

Why are you so cold

Inside of me a soul has died

Getting too old

Don’t whisper lies of tenderness

I’m not there anymore

I don’t need your dry caress

You’re just another chore

Once I needed what you had

But what you had is gone

Thought you were a gentle lad

I was proven wrong

You wore me like a ribbon

A pink and purple bow

Untied me you were finished

I didn’t even know

I took your breath for granted

Believe untruths you told

Now I curse the seeds you planted

Time to self implode

It's important that you treat people right.  Show them respect and above all.... If you dont feel the way for them that feel for you.... don't lead them on.  A heart can recover from rejection.  But the longer it thinks that love is returned the more that rejection will scar.

The Man In The Mirror

 The Man In The Mirror

(As performed by: Michael Jackson)

I'm gonna make a change,
For once in my life
It's gonna feel real good,
Gonna make a difference
Gonna make it right...

As I, turn up the collar on my
Favorite winter coat
This wind is blowin' my mind
I see the kids in the street,
With not enough to eat
Who am I, to be blind?
Pretending not to see their needs
A summer's disregard,
A broken bottle top
And a one man's soul
They follow each other on
The wind ya' know
'Cause they got nowhere to go
That's why I want you to know

I'm starting with the Man In The Mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways
And no message could have
Been any clearer
If you wanna make the world
A better place
(If you wanna make the
World a better place)
Take a look at yourself, and
Then make a change
(Take a look at yourself, and
Then make a change)
(Na na na, na na na, na na, na nah)

I've been a victim of a selfish kind of love
It's time that I realize
That there are some with no
Home, not a nickel to loan
Could it be really me,
Pretending that they're not alone?

A willow deeply scarred,
Somebody's broken heart
And a washed - out dream
(Washed - out dream)
They follow the pattern of
The wind, ya' see
Cause they got no place to be
That's why I'm starting with me
(Starting with me!)

I'm starting with the Man In The Mirror
(Ooh!)
I'm asking him to change his ways
(Ooh!)
And no message could have
Been any clearer
If you wanna make the world
A better place
(If you wanna make the
World a better place)
Take a look at yourself and
Then make a change
(Take a look at yourself and
Then make a change)

I'm starting with the Man In The Mirror
(Ooh!)
I'm asking him to change his ways
(Change his ways - ooh!)
And no message could've
Been any clearer
If you wanna make the world
A better place
(If you wanna make the
World a better place)
Take a look at yourself and
Then make that...
(Take a look at yourself and
[From: http://www.elyrics.net]
Then make that...)
Change!

I'm starting with the Man In The Mirror,
(Man In The Mirror - oh yeah!)
I'm asking him to change
His ways
(Better change!)
No message could have
Been any clearer
(If you wanna make the
World a better place)
(Take a look at yourself and
Then make the change)
(You gotta get it right, while
You got the time)
('Cause when you close your heart)
You can't close your... your mind!
(Then you close your... mind!)
That man, that man, that
Man, that man
With that Man In The Mirror
(Man In The Mirror, oh yeah!)
That man, that man, that man
I'm asking him to change his ways
(Better change!)
You know... that man
No message could have
Been any clearer
If you wanna make the world
A better place
(If you wanna make the
World a better place)
Take a look at yourself and
Then make a change
(Take a look at yourself and
Then make a change)
Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!
Na na na, na na na, na na, na nah
(Oh yeah!)
Gonna feel real good now!
Yeah yeah! Yeah yeah!
Yeah yeah!
Na na na, na na na, na na, na nah
(Ooooh...)
Oh no, no no...
I'm gonna make a change
It's gonna feel real good!
Come on!
(Change...)
Just lift yourself
You know
You've got to stop it.
Yourself!
(Yeah! - make that change!)
I've got to make that change,
Today!
Hoo!
(Man In The Mirror)
You got to
You got to not let yourself...
Brother...
Hoo!
(Yeah! - make that change!)
You know - I've got to get
That man, that man...
(Man In The Mirror)
You've got to
You've got to move! Come
On! Come on!
You got to...
Stand up! Stand up!
Stand up!
(Yeah - make that change)
Stand up and lift
Yourself, now!
(Man In The Mirror)
Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!
Aaow!
(Yeah - make that change)
Gonna make that change...
Come on!
(Man In The Mirror)
You know it!
You know it!
You know it!
You know...
(Change...)
Make that change

You may have noted that the last week or so my posts have been more spiritual in nature.... I've been finding myself back at church and trying hard to lead a more God driven life.  This does not change my love of poetry and song but I did decide this weekend that I needed an outlet for that experience too.  So I've started a new blog.  I will keep publishing poetry and music here on this one.... but I will tell you about my journey with religion on the other... if this interests you please follow me at http://asthespiritguidesme.blogspot.ca/.  As for this blog... I will try to keep it focused on music and poetry.... as these too are a great passion of mine.

I Knew You Were Trouble

I Knew You Were Trouble

(Performed by: Taylor Swift)

 

Once upon a time a few mistakes ago
I was in your sights, you got me alone
You found me
You found me
You found me-e-e-e-e

I guess you didn't care, and I guess I liked that
And when I fell hard you took a step back
Without me, without me, without me-e-e-e-e

And he's long gone when he's next to me
And I realize the blame is on me

Cause I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
You flew me to places I've never been
'Til you put me down, oh
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I've never been
Now I'm lying on the cold hard ground

Oh, oh
Trouble, trouble, trouble
Oh, oh
Trouble, trouble, trouble

No apologies, he'll never see you cry
Pretends he doesn't know, that he's the reason why
You're drowning
You're drowning
You're drowning

Now I heard you moved on from whispers on the street
A new notch in your belt is all I'll ever be
And now I see
Now I see
Now I see

He was long gone when he met me
And I realize the joke is on me, hey

I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
You flew me to places I've never been
'Til you put me down, oh
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I've never been
Now I'm lying on the cold hard ground

Oh, oh
Trouble, trouble, trouble
Oh, oh
Trouble, trouble, trouble

And the saddest fear comes creeping in
That you never loved me
Or her
Or anyone
Or anything
Yeah

I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
You flew me to places I've never been
'Til you put me down, oh
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I've never been
Now I'm lying on the cold hard ground

Oh, oh
Trouble, trouble, trouble
Oh, oh
Trouble, trouble, trouble

I knew you were trouble when you walked in
Trouble, trouble, trouble
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
Trouble, trouble, trouble

 

 

This is often true when we meet someone.  First impressions are a crucial part of social conduct.  Here's a little advice for anyone dating.... if you know they're trouble... stay away.... you're gonna save yourself a lot of grief in the end.  Trust me.

You

Can you listen for a spell

To what I have to say

I’ve been brought by some strong force

To talk to you today

Listen to my words

As they linger in the air

Hold my hand

Help me stand

Show you really care

You are the strength

That makes me weak

You are the silence

That helps me speak

You are my only desire

You are the fuel of my fire

You cause me pain

And yet I grow

You teach me things

You do not know

You’ve carried me

Yet we’ve hardly touched

You don’t know it

But you’ve helped so much

You’ve given me

The strength to go on

You give me faith

When all hope is gone

So listen to my words

As they linger in the air

You’ve held my hand, helped me stand

And shown you really care

This was the first poem that I ever had published.... Reading it now it seems very juvinile to be honest but I still remember the moment wrote and the feeling behind it.  I always say my poems are like my diary and reading back on them can be like reliving my past.

I'm Gonna Be Ready

I'm Gonna Be Ready

(Performed By: Yolanda Adams)

I say a prayer every night
Whatever I do, I'll get it right
With no regret, no guilt or shame this time
No not this time
Once I surrender, I won't dare look back
'Cause if I do, I'll get off track
Move ahead in faith, and patiently await your answer
What will it be

Sight beyond what I see
You know what's best for me
Prepare my mind, prepare my heart
For whatever comes, I'm gone' be ready

Strength to pass any test
I feel like I'm so blessed
With you in control, I can't go wrong
'Cause I always know, I'm gonna be ready

I was free to do, what I wanted to
Lost everything, but I still had you
You showed me your grace, now my life's renewed
And I thank you, yes I thank you
So I'll tell anyone who'll listen, I'll testify
About how good you were to me, when so call friends passed me by
The fact that you would show somebody so broke down
So much mercy

Sight beyond what I see
(Beyond what I see)
You know what's best for me
(I know you know what's best for me)
Prepare my mind, prepare my heart
(Prepare my mind and prepare my heart)
For whatever comes, I'm gone' be ready
(For whatever comes, I'm gonna be ready)

Strength to pass any test
(Give me the strength to pass any test)
I feel like I'm so blessed
(I know that I'm so blessed)
[- From: http://www.elyrics.net -]
With you in control, I can't go wrong
(Your in control Lord, can't go wrong no)
'Cause I always know, I'm gonna be ready
('Cause I know that I'm gonna be ready)

So use me as you will, I'll pay the price
'Cause you made the ultimate sacrifice
It's all 'cause of you, that I even have life
And I'll give my love, as a tribute, to how great you are

Sight beyond what I see
(Sight beyond what I see)
You know what's best for me
(You know, you know what's best for me ohh ohh)
Prepare my mind, prepare my heart
(Prepare my heart and prepare my mind)
For whatever comes, I'm gone' be ready
(For whatever comes, I'm gonna be ready yeah yeah yeah)

Strength to pass any test
(I wanna pass this test)
I feel like I'm so blessed
(I know that I am, know that I am, know that I'm so blessed)
With you in control, I can't go wrong
(Your in control of my life Lord, I can't go wrong no)
'Cause I always know, I'm gonna be ready
(And I know it I'm gonna be I'm gonna be ready, yeah yeah)

I'm gonna be ready
(This time I'm gonna be)
I'm gonna be ready
('Cause you live deep inside of me)
I'm gonna be ready
(And I know it's in your will for me to be ready, yeah yeah yeah uhh)
I'm gonna be ready
(I'm gonna be ready)
 

I've been feeling very spiritual lately.... Closer to something I've been missing in my life for awhile.... I've been looking for a connection... I'm trying.  My future is very unknown at the moment and I could be stressed about what it brings... instead I feel inspired.... I'm ready.

 

The Hole

Sirens wailing in the distance

Children crying filthy tears

Leftover pieces of existence

Garbage piled through the years

If we tolerate disgrace

Let the madness seal our fate

Let the evil take this place

Create a hole of no escape

Littered street sides, dirty air

Children starving you don’t care

Deal with the day to day

You’re sure that it will be okay?

If we tolerate disgrace

Let the madness seal our fate

Let the evil take this place

Create a hole of no escape

We only have one world.... one chance to do things right... One life.  Make it count... Do your part and  the world will be a much better place for those we leave behind.

The Room

The Room by Joshua Harris

In that place between wakefulness and dreams, I found myself in the room. There were no distinguishing features save for the one wall covered with small index-card files. They were like the ones in libraries that list titles by author or subject in alphabetical order. But these files, which stretched from floor to ceiling and seemingly endlessly in either direction, had very different headings. As I drew near the wall of files, the first to catch my attention was one that read "Girls I Have Liked." I opened it and began flipping through the cards. I quickly shut it, shocked to realize that I recognized the names written on each one.

And then without being told, I knew exactly where I was. This lifeless room with its small files was a crude catalog system for my life. Here were written the actions of my every moment, big and small, in a detail my memory couldn't match.

A sense of wonder and curiosity, coupled with horror, stirred within me as I began randomly opening files and exploring their content. Some brought joy and sweet memories; others a sense of shame and regret so intense that I would look over my shoulder to see if anyone was watching. A file named "Friends" was next to one marked "Friends I Have Betrayed."

The titles ranged from the mundane to the outright weird. "Books I Have Read," "Lies I Have Told," "Comfort I Have Given," "Jokes I Have Laughed At." Some were almost hilarious in their exactness: "Things I've Yelled at My Brothers." Others I couldn't laugh at: "Things I Have Done in My Anger," "Things I Have Muttered Under My Breath at My Parents." I never ceased to be surprised by the contents. Often there were many more cards than I expected. Sometimes fewer than I hoped.

I was overwhelmed by the sheer volume of the life I had lived. Could it be possible that I had the time in my 20 years to write each of these thousands or even millions of cards? But each card confirmed this truth. Each was written in my own handwriting. Each signed with my signature.

When I pulled out the file marked "Songs I Have Listened To," I realized the files grew to contain their contents. The cards were packed tightly, and yet after two or three yards, I hadn't found the end of the file. I shut it, shamed, not so much by the quality of music, but more by the vast amount of time I knew that file represented.

When I came to a file marked "Lustful Thoughts," I felt a chill run through my body. I pulled the file out only an inch, not willing to test its size, and drew out a card. I shuddered at its detailed content. I felt sick to think that such a moment had been recorded.

An almost animal rage broke on me. One thought dominated my mind: "No one must ever see these cards! No one must ever see this room! I have to destroy them!" In an insane frenzy I yanked the file out. Its size didn't matter now. I had to empty it and burn the cards. But as I took it at one end and began pounding it on the floor, I could not dislodge a single card. I became desperate and pulled out a card, only to find it as strong as steel when I tried to tear it

Defeated and utterly helpless, I returned the file to its slot. Leaning my forehead against the wall, I let out a long, self-pitying sigh. And then I saw it. The title bore "People I Have Shared the Gospel With." The handle was brighter than those around it, newer, almost unused. I pulled on its handle and a small box not more than three inches long fell into my hands. I could count the cards it contained on one hand.

And then the tears came. I began to weep. Sobs so deep that they hurt started in my stomach and shook through me. I fell on my knees and cried. I cried out of shame, from the overwhelming shame of it all. The rows of file shelves swirled in my tear-filled eyes. No one must ever, ever know of this room. I must lock it up and hide the key.

But then as I pushed away the tears, I saw Him. No, please not Him. Not here. Oh, anyone but Jesus.

I watched helplessly as He began to open the files and read the cards. I couldn't bear to watch His response. And in the moments I could bring myself to look at His face, I saw a sorrow deeper than my own. He seemed to intuitively go to the worst boxes. Why did He have to read every one?

Finally He turned and looked at me from across the room. He looked at me with pity in His eyes. But this was a pity that didn't anger me. I dropped my head, covered my face with my hands and began to cry again. He walked over and put His arm around me. He could have said so many things. But He didn't say a word. He just cried with me.

Then He got up and walked back to the wall of files. Starting at one end of the room, He took out a file and, one by one, began to sign His name over mine on each card.

"No!" I shouted rushing to Him. All I could find to say was "No, no," as I pulled the card from Him. His name shouldn't be on these cards. But there it was, written in red so rich, so dark, so alive. The name of Jesus covered mine. It was written with His blood.

He gently took the card back. He smiled a sad smile and began to sign the cards. I don't think I'll ever understand how He did it so quickly, but the next instant it seemed I heard Him close the last file and walk back to my side. He placed His hand on my shoulder and said, "It is finished."

I stood up, and He led me out of the room. There was no lock on its door. There were still cards to be written.

I love this story.  Touches my heart and really makes me think about the choices I make everyday... what would your room look like?  Would your cards say what you's like them to?  If not, maybe it's time for a change.

Everything Dies

EVERYTHING DIES
(Written by: Greg Davis)

Everything dies

I’ve seen the world turn

I’ve seen the ground burn

I’ve felt passion arise

I’ve felt love when it tries

Everything dies

I’ve been fortune bent

I’ve been heaven sent

I’ve known a thousand lies

I’ve known love when it tries

Everything dies

Never say goodbye to the fire

Too many cracks upon the wire

Never say goodbye to the fire

Too many cracks and she’s a liar

I’ve made the wind turn

I’ve made their eyes burn

I’ve helped passion arise

I’ve helped love when it tries

Everything dies

Never say goodbye to the fire

Too many cracks upon the wire

And I am an awful liar

Everything dies

I don't have much to say today.... kinda a blah week I guess... sorry I'm so late with my blog today... busy week too... I've had this poem in my book for a lot of years.... draw your own conclusions... I know that it moves me.

The Rose

The roses pedals fall to the floor

Waving in a downward loop

Landing in a pile of more

A slowly browning little group

No water left to feed it

No sun light in the room

So on the table it will sit

And realize its doom

It was once so bright and free

Once so innocent

It looks back on its life and sees

How wasted time was spent

Such a beautiful flower

Growing in a field of fruit

And then how it did cower

When it was cut off at the root

As the last pedal slowly falls

It sees it had no choice

It could not make all the calls

Because it had no voice

It's kind of a stale poem lol... I wrote this in grade 7 or 8 as a school assignment.... the one thing it always brings to mind for me though is that is that when someone is making the calls for you... you  lose you vibrance, your life and you fade... just like a flower.

Just Give Me A Reason

"Just Give Me A Reason"
(As Performed by: P!nk feat. Nate Ruess)

Right from the start
You were a thief
You stole my heart
And I your willing victim
I let you see the parts of me
That weren't all that pretty
And with every touch you fixed them
Now you've been talking in your sleep oh oh
Things you never say to me oh oh
Tell me that you've had enough
Of our love, our love

Just give me a reason
Just a little bit's enough
Just a second we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
It's in the stars
It's been written in the scars on our hearts
We're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again

I'm sorry I don't understand
Where all of this is coming from
I thought that we were fine
(Oh we had everything)
Your head is running wild again
My dear we still have everythin'
And it's all in your mind
(Yeah but this is happenin')
You've been havin' real bad dreams oh oh
You used to lie so close to me oh oh
There's nothing more than empty sheets
Between our love, our love
Oh our love, our love

Just give me a reason
Just a little bit's enough
Just a second we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
I never stopped
You're still written in the scars on my heart
You're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again

Oh tear ducts and rust
I'll fix it for us
We're collecting dust
But our love's enough
You're holding it in
You're pouring a drink
No nothing is as bad as it seems
We'll come clean

Just give me a reason
Just a little bit's enough
Just a second we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
It's in the stars
It's been written in the scars on our hearts
That we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again

Just give me a reason
Just a little bit's enough
Just a second we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
It's in the stars
It's been written in the scars on our hearts
That we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
Oh, we can learn to love again
Oh, we can learn to love again
Oh oh, that we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again 

 

A beautiful new song by one of my favorite current artists... Love it.

 

For You

This is for the days I held you

The warmth you brought, the grace I found

This is for the words I penned you

The passion of my soul wrote down

This is for those many moments

You gave me reason to go on

This is for all that you have meant

The way I’ve loved you’s like a song

This is for the decade

I have had you on my mind

This is for the love that stirs

Even after all this time

This is for the yesterdays

And every new tomorrow

This is for every moment

Even those we faced with sorrow

This is for all you’ve taught me, teach me

About life and faith and strength and love

This is for you and only you,

My friend, my mate, my only one

There's only ever been one... one person that gave me that fairytale kinda feeling... one person who was as much part of me as I am... He knows who is ... And I am ever so grateful to him.

On My Own

On my own
Pretending he's beside me
All alone
I walk with him till morning
Without him
I feel his arms around me
And when I lose my way I close my eyes
And he has found me

In the rain the pavement shines like silver
All the lights are misty in the river
In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight
And all I see is him and me forever and forever

And I know it's only in my mind
That I'm talking to myself and not to him
And although I know that he is blind
Still I say, there's a way for us

I love him
But when the night is over
He is gone
The river's just a river
Without him
The world around me changes
The trees are bare and everywhere
The streets are full of strangers

I love him
But every day I'm learning
All my life
I've only been pretending
Without me
His world will go on turning
A world that's full of happiness
That I have never known

I love him
I love him
I love him
But only on my own

Well I finally watch Les Miserable s.... It was not good....  I don't know... Something about seeing the guy who played Wolverine in X-men singing just didn't do it for me....  The story was great... the production was magnificent... the singing was awful lol.... but this is still one of my all time favorite songs.... lets hear it sung properly shall we?
