My Paper Heart
Please just don't play with me
My paper heart will bleed
This wait for destiny won't do
Be with me please I beseech you
Simple things, that make you run away
Catch you if I can
Tears fall, down your face
The taste, is something new
Something that I know
Moving on is, easiest when I am around you.
So bottle up old love,
And throw it out to sea,
Watch it away as you cry
A year has passed
The seasons go
Please just don't play with me
My paper heart will bleed
This wait for destiny won't do
Be with me please I beseech you
Simple things, that make you run away
Catch you if I can
Waiting, day to day it goes through
My lips, are sealed for her
My tongue is,
Tied to, a dream of being with you
To settle for less, is not what I prefer
So bottle up old love,
And throw it out to sea,
Watch it away as you cry
A year has passed
The seasons go
Please just don't play with me
My paper heart will bleed
This wait for destiny won't do
Be with me please I beseech you
Simple things, that make you run away
Catch you if I can
Summer time, the nights are so long
The leaves fall down,
and so do I into the arms of a friend
Winter nights
My bedside is cold, for I am gone
And spring blossoms you to me
Summer time, the nights they are so long
The leaves fall down,
and so do I into the arms of a friend
Winter nights
My bedside is cold, for I am gone
And spring blossoms you to me

Your Star
Oh star fall down on me
Let me make a wish upon you
Hold on, let me think
Think of what I'm wishing for
Wait, don't go away.
Just not yet.
Cause I thought,
I had it.
But I forget.
And I won't let you fall away,
From me.
You will never fade.
And I won't let you fall away.
From me.
You will never fade away from me.
And now I let my dreams consume me,
And tell me what to think.
But hold on,
Hold on.
What am I dreaming?
Wait, don't go away.
Just not yet.
Cause I thought,
That I had it.
But I forget.
And I won't let you fall away,
From me.
You will never fade away.
I won't let you fall away.
You will never fade away.
And I won't let you fall away.
You will never fade away.
And I won't let you fall away from me,
You will never...
Oh star fall down on me.






Swing, Swing
Days swiftly come and go.
I'm dreaming of her
She's seeing other guys
Emotions they stir
The sun is gone.
The nights are long
And I am left while the tears fall.

Did you think that I would cry,
on the phone?
Do you know what it feels like,
being alone?
I'll find someone new

[Chorus]
(Swing) Swing, Swing from the tangles of
My heart is crushed by a former love
Can you help me find a way
To carry on again.

Wish cast into the sky
I'm moving on
Sweet beginnings do arise
She knows I was wrong
The notes are old,
They bend, they fold
and so do I to a new love.

Did you think that I would cry,
on the phone?
Do you know what it feels like,
being alone?
I'll find someone new

(Swing) Swing, Swing from the tangles of
My heart is crushed by a former love
Can you help me find a way
To carry on again

Bury me
(you thought your problems were gone)
Carry me
(away. away, away...)

[Chorus fades till end]
(Swing) Swing, Swing from the tangles of
My heart is crushed by a former love
Can you help me find a way
To carry on again
Time Stands Still
Him and her
Life is turned.

The day I knew you would leave
I can barely breathe
Can you hear me scream


[Chorus:]
You thrown in all directions
You epitome of perfection
She's lost her will (she's lost her will)
time is standing still

He walks, her, home
Now he walks alone
The days they turn into years
The eyes they drown in tears

Can you hear me scream

[Chorus]

The way we are the way we were
(It's just a shadow of what's wrong)
The time with you the time is stirred
(I love you for, so long)
The hearts they turn, they turn away
(she says to go please don't you cry)
Love lost was found, night turns to day
[Chorus x2]

         
 


              
                        


One More Sad Song
One boy, one girl, two hearts, their world
Time goes by, secrets rise
One more, sad song, tears shed, she's gone
She'd take it back, if she only could
And all the perfect words they seem so wrong, She's gone
You wish that you could learn to see,
The door is closed and you wish you could be
Alone with you, alone with me
What can I do, I cannot breathe
My heart is torn, for all to see
Alone with you, alone with me.
Best friend, worst thing, she's been, cheating
Friend deceives, she leaves
Last date. She cries, whispers, good-bye
She walks once more, out that door
And all the perfect words they seem so wrong,
She's gone
You wish that you could learn to see,
The door is closed and you wish you could be
Alone with you, alone with me
What can I do, I cannot breathe
My heart is torn, for all to see
Alone with you, alone with me.
Please stay, don't go away
The hardest thing is letting go of you
Please stay, don't go away
The hardest thing is letting go of you
what can I do?
Alone with you, alone with me, what can I do?
I cannot breathe, alone with, alone with,
alone with you, alone with me, what can I do?
I cannot breathe, my heart is torn for all to
see, alone with you, alone with
                      

Why Worry
I worry, I wonder all the time why worry
It's killing me, forget about it
I whisper, remember what she did
Don't miss her
Set me free, she won't allow it
Angry and gone,
and the list goes on and on
If it's love, I will differ,
I'm being lost being with her
I can't move on, I can't take it
She, she says we won't make it now
I can't move on, I can't take it
She, she says we won't make it now
Be-lieving, the things I did were wrong
I'm leaving It fades a-way, forget about it
She's binding, can't do a thing alone
Rewinding Times before,
can't live without it
Angry and gone,
and the list goes on and on
If it's love, I will differ, I'm being lost being with her
I can't move on, I can't take it
She, she says we won't make it now
I can't move on, I can't take it
She, she says we won't make it now
I don't know
But you did but you did but you did
Please don't go
Now my feelings for you they're now lost
'cause we're through anymore
I'll write you , I'll call you
Now I'm being lost being with her [x2]
I'm being lost Forget about it
I can't move on, I can't take it
She, she says we won't make it now
I can't move on, I can't take it
She, she says we won't make it now
[Repeat to fade

Don't Leave Me
You're sweet just like the sun
But what happens when the sun doesn't stay?
The night reminds me when you went away
Now my mind was pacing,
heart is racing contemplating things that I lack
Even though you left me by myself,
do I want you back?
Will you stay or will you walk? will you let go?
Leave me all alone, I'm giving you one more chance
To make things last Ring around the roses then she'll stay
Leave me once, Leave me twice
Kiss good bye that will suffice
When you go away, Don't look back
Leave me once and i'll be fine
Leave me twice i'll make you mine
Just one more chance to make it once again
As the days go by, I am asking why did you leave
You left me alone and then you walked out on me Thinking of days, thinking of ways,
thinking of things to you that I should say
I wanna be with you and that's the only way
Will you stay or will you walk?
will you let go?
Leave me all alone
I'm giving you one more chance
To make things last, Ring around the roses then she'll stay
Leave me once, Leave me twice
Kiss good bye that will suffice
When you go away, Don't look back
Leave me once and i'll be fine
Leave me twice i'll make you mine
Just one more chance to make it once again
Don't say good bye, just dry your eyes
A tear for everything that I did wrong
Don't say good bye, just dry your eyes
Listen now just try and see me please don't leave me now.
Leave me once Leave me twice
Kiss good bye that will suffice
When you go away Don't look back
Leave me once and i'll be fine, Leave me twice i'll make you mine
Just one more chance to make it once again
To Far Gone
I should warn you
Things you're feeling, aren't normal now.
Think you need me
It's not easy, let you go some how.
Now we're too far gone,
Hope is such a waste
Every breath you take you give
me the burdens bitter taste
You promise that you'd stay
You say you want to go
Your lips provide a shelter for the
things that i don't know
Please speak slowly
My heart is learning
Teach me heart-ache,
Stop this burning now.
Wishful thinking
Patience shrinking, bliss is far away
North is calling
Now I'm falling, at your feet please stay
Now we're too far gone,
Hope is such a waste
Every breath you take you give
me the burdens bitter taste
You promise that you'd stay
You say you want to go
Your lips provide a shelter for the
things that i don't know
Please speak slowly
My heart is learning
Teach me heart-ache,
Stop this burning now.
[x4]


 



Drive Away
She's gone away but still they stay together
People call me crazy, crazy
My thoughts progress, I think about forever
My mind tells me maybe, maybe

I wish I could drive away to the sunset
Back to the day that we first met
Only believe the things I wrote
I'll put it in a note, yeah
Cross my t's and dot my i's
Better say hello, don't you dare say good bye
I'll write "sincerely yours" and sign my name
P.S. I love you, forever and today

Two weeks go by, seems like it's been the weather
The rain falls down - she's crying, crying
My thoughts progress, she thinks about forever
Their hearts are bound - lying, lying

I wish I could drive away to the sunset
Back to the day that we first met
Only believe the things I wrote
I'll put it in a note, yeah
Cross my t's and dot my i's
Better say hello, I'm gonna wave goodbye
I'll write "sincerely yours" and sign my name
P.S. I love you, forever and today

All the heartbreak all the pain
All the words you said in vain
And I'll never be the same

I wish I could drive away to the sunset
Back to the day that we first met
Only believe the things I wrote
I'll put it in a note, yeah
Cross my t's and dot my i's
Better say hello, I'm gonna wave goodbye
I'll write "sincerely yours" and sign my name
P.S. I love you, forever and today

Forever and today
Forever and today
P.S. I love you
Forever and today
Happy Endings
Time does tell
That even if they say so
She'd be the one that would know
That I did do what I've done
And I, I wouldn't call it cheating
I'd just say I was leading her on
Why walk while I run a-way
You- you ask me what went wrong
Me- I'll write you this last song
Please- just tell me one way we can win
One- more thing before I go
Two- the one who loves me so
Three- don't make me count to three again

Chorus
Happy endings
Just what did you do, If you're a dream then come true
Stop pretending
That what you mean isn't what you say
Hopeful dreaming,
Of times before the pain, wishing it was still the same
Loving, leaving

Round and round and round we go again
Walks a-lone, have often lead to thinking
My love for you is sinking to what seems an all time low
or high, the limits' never ending,
And don't you know I'm sending
There's no venture I won't go
For you
You- you ask me what went wrong
Me- I'll write you this last song
Please- just tell me one way we can win
One- more thing before I go
Two- the one who loves me so
Three- don't make me count to three again
(Chorus)
Round and round and round we go again
She walks away, she talks away
She walks away
She walks away, she talks away
Away, away...
(Chorus X2)
                    

 

The Last Song
I know this is the last time
Goodbye to you my friend
What you had to offer won't be
Seen around here again
And I almost find myself
Content
To let my quits come in, because
I know this is the last time
Goodbye to you my friend

Your demise is a reminder
To the truth that we all face
Nothing is forever
Our efforts can go to waste
But you haven't left me empty
Even if it was just a taste
Your demise is a reminder
To the truth that we all face

It makes me wonder when the
Time will come for me to stroll
When the feelings I embrace
Have nothing left to hold
And the life that I've worked for
Can be bought and sold
It makes me wonder when the
Time will come for me to stroll
