DESPERATION
how do I reach her to make her understand
the depth to which she has touched me and made me be a man
how do I explain the constant love and fear
how do I let her know she dries up all my tears
when I look into her eyes it strikes a chord within
I feel a lump rise in my throat and my stomach starts to spin
how can I reach her deep within her soul
and tell her that she warms a heart that once stayed only cold
I ponder one more question as I gaze at stars above
how do I let her know that I am desperate for her love
WAIT
Aye I lie in wait as a chill blows west to east
I lie and wait to hear the shriek of a cruel and heartless beast
I lie in bed just waiting all bundled from the cold
my body is a young man's but my heart is torn and old
being young and naive I gave my heart away
to a girl who meant the world and knew just what to say
I gave this girl my heart and she put it on the shelf
but before she did I learned to love both the girl and myself
so now I lie here waiting and I have to wonder why
the ones who claim to love you most are the ones who make you cry
so I'm left in a cold dark world to fight it out alone
and I'm left to lie in bed just waiting by the phone
LONELINESS
lying in my bed again can't push away the pain
try my best to make them stop but the tears just fall like rain
the hurt seems so unreal, my heart broken like a bone
just when I fall in love I see I'm doomed to be alone
all my days and nights I've hoped for better days
someone to stand beside me; to take the pain away
someone who I could hold, someone to call my wife
but that was all a dream; to be alone's my lot in life
