Too Much Of A Good Thing

I don’t want this to become a memory
Though I feel I’m continuing  to waste this energy
Thinking to myself that one day you’ll care
Not looking forward to tomorrow because you’ll never be there
You never miss a good thing till it leaves you
In your mind you’re thinking what can I do?
I’ve given my all…everything I am
Just to be sitting here looking pitiful like damn..
I really thought you would see my feelings were true
Now you’ve moved on.. acting brand new
This was my last chance to show you my love
I might need a little help from above
But was this really a good fit?
I’m thinking to myself was it really worth it?
I don’t know the thoughts that go through your mind
Maybe our paths weren’t really aligned
I guess this really is the end now
Though it’s not something I want to allow
I have no more fight, I’m leaving the boxing ring
This was all too much of a good thing

Never Saw You Coming

I wish I didn’t feel the way I do
I wish I never fell in love with you
I wish I didn’t stay up all night crying
I wish I knew when to stop trying
It’s just that you hurt me so bad
You made me believe in something I never had
Then you used that to destroy me
It’s my fault, I’m the one who gave you the key
My heart has never been so pained
My heart is now forever stained
I wish I could just hate you
I wish I could show you what I’ve gone through
I wish you could understand
I wish you knew that me falling for you wasn’t planned
I guess now you never will
What you did to me takes some kind of skill
To throw away something as precious as a heart
Didn’t anyone ever tell you growing up that isn’t smart?
I guess you weren’t ready to embark on this endeavor
You’ll just have to live with that forever
I wish that breaking a heart was a crime
I wish I could turn back time
I wish my love meant something
I wish I had seen you coming

Star Of My Own

I want a star that shines just for me
One that shines so bright, only I can see
I want a star I can call my own
Somewhere close so I’ll never be alone
To warm me up when the days are cold
To hold my hand when I get wrinkly and old
I want a star that shines just for me
Please show yourself wherever you may be
I want a star I can call my own
I don’t want some silly imitation clone
What’s the point in silver and gold
When I can have something more daring more bold
A star of my own

You Can’t Stop Me!

You can’t stop me!
You can try and knock me down
I’m going to get back up again
And again and again
You can’t stop me!
Go ahead put me down
I refuse to be broken
You won’t be able to crack me
You can’t stop me!
I will stand strong like a tree
I will never stop climbing
The sky ain’t even the limit
You can’t stop me!
I will not quiver in fear
I will not run from you
I won’t give up
You can’t stop me!
Once I’m set into motion
I’m like the energizer bunny
Keep going and going and going
You can’t stop me
I will never run out of juice
I refuse to listen to your negativity
You won’t offend me
You can’t stop me!
My dreams are golden
I won’t let you ruin them
My foundation will not weaken
You can’t stop me!
I will keep running till the end
You can’t tell me how to live my life
I won’t stop until I’m finished
You can’t stop me!

Change From Within

They say if you want to see change
You have to first change yourself
That’s what they always told me

To me that just seems a little strange
Why should I have to change myself?
You have to set yourself free

If you don’t then your core will stay the same
Falling right back into the same trap
Returning to the same person you’ve always been

If you want change you have to ignite the flame
Look for it yourself there is no map
If you want change you have to change from within

If I Open Up To You

If I open up to you would you accept me fully?
If I open up to you would you take advantage of my kindness?
Will you use me? Abuse me? Take me for granted?
Will you replace me and leave me stranded?
If I open up to you would you only talk to me when it’s convenient?
If I open up to you would you stick by my side through the weather?
Will you trust me? Would I be able to trust you?
Will you be my friend and be there for me when I need you to??
If I open up to you would you be there at my best and my worse?
If I open up to you would you have the heart to save me?
To be quite honest, I’m scared of people too
To be honest I’m more scared of you
My past is full of broken promises
Lies that should’ve never been told
Times where I should’ve stood up and been bold
But I didn’t because I was scared
People like me always wear a mask
Just because we’re not quite up to the task
I don’t want to be rejected and judged
I want to be alone but not lonely
Even if for this evening only
Then I know that maybe there was a chance
Can you promise me this one thing you will do?
Please don’t let me down if I open up to you

Drift Away

I want to just drift away
Save all this drama for another day
Ignore all these bills I have to pay
And just silently drift away
Maybe somewhere on a beach by the bay
Maybe on a farm in the hay
Lurking, silently drifting away
I’ll just run away on Santa’s sleigh
To a place where my skies are never gray
Why won’t you let me drift away?
I just want to have fun, I just want to play
Go back? Ha! That’s something I’ll never say
I don’t want to leave, just want to drift away
It’s time to get started no need for anymore delay
My reasoning may be simple or even cliche
But deep down inside I just want to drift away
