CLOSE THE DOOR
Today you finally spoke of her,
That’s when I came to see
That she was everything to you
That I could never be.
It came as no surprise to me
I knew I’d not compare
But when you cried the whole day through,
It was more than I could bare.
I wished that I could hold you
And take away your pain
But you pulled yourself away from me,
It was then my heart was slain.
You told me how you missed her
And it broke my heart in two
To see you feeling so much pain
When there’s nothing I can do.
And then I finally realized,
You were asking me for space
You never spoke those words to me
But I read it on your face.
That’s when my tears came flowing
Harder than they were before,
Because I knew the time had come
For you to close the door.
I said I’d wait forever
Then I gave you one last kiss
And I prayed that there would come a day
When it’s me that you will miss.
GOODBYE
You said goodbye to me today
It broke my heart in two
You’ve chosen her instead of me
There’s nothing I can do.
It hurts so much to watch you go
But I can’t make you stay
The heartache brings me to my knees
As I see you walk away.
I know I’d make you happy
But I’m still the one to lose
It’s one love or the other,
That only you can choose.
Through my tears I say go on
But still I hold on tight
I know that I can’t have you
It’s nothing I can fight.
You say that we can still be friends
But that’s all you’ll offer me,
You say I need to face the facts
It just wasn’t meant to be.
Although I may still want you
I wish you years of love
And I hope she is everything
That your dreams are made of
The time will come that I’ll move on
And find somebody new
But one thing that will never change
I’ll always care for you.
THE LETTER
I came upon a letter
That she left right in your car
She said she’s always loved you
Although it’s from afar
She wants to know your feelings
Did last night mean much to you
Was it simply just a fairy tale,
Or did her dreams come true?
She said she knows your taken,
But if you would leave me
She said she’ll make your life
Everything you dreamed it’d be
So I have to ask this question,
Is it me or her you love
Is she the perfect woman
That you’ve been thinking of?
She says she’ll make you happy
She wants to share your life
I’ll give you room to walk away
Even though I am your wife.
SOMETHING DIED
My faith in you has left my soul
Your love for me is no longer whole
My eyes are aching from tears I’ve cried
You still love me, but something’s died.
My pain is heavy, too much to bare
You keep telling me you still care
My heart is yearning for something more
But you don’t love me like you did before.
My thoughts are praying for you to stay
Your guilt is saying don’t walk away
HOW DO I?
How do I stand here as I watch you drive away
How do I convince myself that one day I’ll be ok
How do I fight the tears that are welling up inside
How do I keep from pleading and hold on to my pride
How do I agree when you say we can’t work it out
How do I know this is best like you say without a doubt
How do I take my heart back when it’s resting in your palm
How do I stay quiet and find a way to be calm
How do I lift my hand only to waive to you goodbye
How do I force a smile when I only want to cry
How do I keep from falling to the ground upon my knees
How do I remain silent when my heart is begging please
How do I convince you that this is a mistake
How do I make you see what really is at stake
How do I lift my head and bask in the sunshine
How do I go on if I know that you’re not mine
How do I make a wish that I know will not come true
How do I say a prayer that finds it’s way to you
How do I keep you with me when you’re trying to be free
How do I keep this broken heart from destroying me.
How do I believe you weren’t my blessing from above
How do I let go of the only man I love?
TOMORROW
Tomorrow is the day
That everything I held dear
Drives away in a white pick up
As I am standing here.
Tomorrow is the day
I lose the man who has my heart
I count the minutes down
Praying the day somehow won’t start
Tomorrow is the day
That I get left behind
When I have to let go
Of a love so hard to find
Tomorrow is the day
That I fear with all my soul
Because it’s the first day
That I’m no longer whole
Tomorrow is the day
That I never will forget
The worst day of my life
The one I will always regret
Tomorrow is the day
I have to know you’re gone
That you didn’t want me by your side
That now our time is done.
Tomorrow is the day
That I have to watch you leave
Knowing that dreams don’t come true
And I have nothing to believe.
Until the Moment You Weren't There
There never was a time
That I thought you'd go away
When you looked me in the eyes
I believed the promises you'd say
Every day you said you loved me
And I was your everything
You told me it was true love
but now it's almost like a dream
you held me in your arms
and my heart was in your hand
but then you chose to leave me
how am I supposed to understand?
Why would you cause my teardrops
And wipe away my smile
If you really thought you loved me
Why did it only last for a short while?
From the first time that you kissed me
Until the moment you weren't there
I thought my heart was safe with you
But now it's drowning in despair.
You chose to take a road without me
You watched the tears roll down my face
Why would you just give up a love
That can never be replaced?
WITHOUT YOU
Without you, I can not dance
Without you, there’s no romance
Without you, I can not sing
Without you, I wear no ring
Without you, I can not smile
Without you, life’s not worthwhile
Without you, I’m lost inside
Without you, I have no pride
Without you, I’m on my own
Without you, I’m so alone.
YOU TOOK
You took my heart, ripped it to shreds,
You took my feelings, left them for dead
You took my mind, drove me insane,
You took my soul, filled it with pain.
You took my hands, and left them bare
You took my thoughts that made me care.
You took my life, threw it away
You took my love, then walked away.
IS THIS
I’ve seen the way you look at me
Is this where you want to be?
I’ve seen the sadness in your eyes
Is this the look of a love that dies?
I’ve seen you think the whole night through,
Is this what you want to do?
I’ve seen the guilt across your face
Is this the time you need some space?
I’ve seen the pain rip you apart
Is this the look of a confused heart?
I’ve seen you wonder what to do
Is this a battle inside of you?
I’ve seen you cry when you’re alone
Is this because your heart she owns?
I WAS THE ONE
I was the one who was deceived
You were the one that I believed
I was the one who wanted to stay
You were the one who walked away
I was the one who’d love you forever
You were the one who’d love me never
I was the one who cried all night
You were the one who caused the fight
I was the one who needed you so
You were the one who let me go.
SEPARATE WORLDS
Although we share a bedroom
You’re a half a world away
I feel like I don’t know you
Though I see you everyday.
As we became united
We divided into two
We combined our paths together
But separated as we grew.
We gave our love in passion,
A child we now share,
You’re the father, I’m the mother,
But the family isn’t there.
I pray we can rekindle
An old spark into a flame
For if I have to live without you
My life will never be the same.
