How I really felt

  What she always meant to me

  That I didn't wanna

  Start my life over again

  That I didn't wanna be

  In this place alone

  All on my own

  My heart was part of hers

  At least I thought it was

   

  Who knows where she went

  Or if she'll ever come back

  I wanna believe

  But I know I'm lyin

  If I actually think that

  You Are My Everything

  When I look at you,

  Look in your eyes

  I think maybe

  The problems I have

  Aren't really as bad

  As they seem

  As long as I've got you

  I don't have

  To know what I'll do

  Being with you

  Is the greatest

  Dream come true

  And you've always seen

  Right into my heart

  Through the mess

  That is me

  On the surface, alright

  And so worried underneath

  And somewhere between...

  Somewhat happy

  Yet unsure

  Wishing I could make

  All our cares just disappear

  And let things

  Be as they were

   

  No matter how scared

  I really am

  You're all that I need

  I want to share

  All that I can

  Could you let me plead

  For us to be

  Together forever

  For all of time

  Nothing will harm me

  As long as you're mine

  You are my shield

  You are my strength

  You are my sanity

  You are my everything

  I Like Things Just the Way They Are

  Sometimes, it seems

  Between you and me

  There's barely room to breathe

  And I'm always sayin

  It's soon to be

  So much different

  I will make it change

  Then it all stays the same

  As it ever was

  Just a little rearranged

  Never better

  Maybe that's because

   

  I like things just the way they are

  So often I feel

  Like I'm goin nowhere fast

  But yet we've made it far

  So many troubles in the past

  We've lasted

  Even after such a rocky start

  I like things just the way they are

  Missed

  How can this be

  You're still here with me

  I thought you'd be gone by now

  Do I deserve this

  What would you do

  If I wasn't here with you

  Could you really breathe

  If you couldn't have me

  Would I be truly missed

  Life Goes On

  After all these years

  And all the tears that I caused

  If I called

  Would you even know me at all

  Would you still care if I died

  Since I left

  Have you cried

  I never meant to hurt you

  So much with all the lies that I told

  But I was still growin up

  Lookin out for my own

  Not even that old

  But old enough

  To know enough to go

  To get gone

  Enough to show I realized I was wrong

  So, has anything changed

  What have you done

  Where have you been all along

  Do I have the right

  To look you up tonight

  And talk til it's dawn

  Then, if not, goodbye again

  You don't have to forgive

  All of my selfish sins

  I'll leave you alone

  I should've known

  So much better than I did

  But life goes on

   

  Life goes on

  And on

  Til it's all drawn to a close

  It stretches so far

  That nobody knows

  Until it's gone

  If I could make amends

  For the things that I've done

  Maybe we could be friends

  And I could think of my regrets

  And have none

  Touch Your Face

  Baby, I...

  Never meant to hurt you

  I never...

  Meant to make you cry

  I can't understand how

  You could stay with me now

  I just can't see why

  You would be so forgiving

  To someone

  Who abused your love

  And took you for granted

  I never gave you enough

   

  What did I ever do

  To keep you here

  To earn the right

  To still love you

  Love is all about

  The ability to forgive and forget

  I swear I'll try harder, Baby

  Please don't give up on me just yet

  I can't believe

  I could allow myself

  To treat you this way

  I never realized

  What I had

  I really played

  The villain in the play

   

  Lookin in your eyes tonight

  I can't see how

  I ever lost my sight

  Of what you really meant

  And all the good and bad

  That came and went

  I always let you let me go

  To do what I wanted but didn't know

  Was so wrong to do

  And all along

  I was never really true

  Did I ever force your hand

  Or place on you demands

  I am so sorry

  For my selfish ways

  I am such a disgrace

  Please just let me...

  Touch your face

  One Last Fuck (adult language)

  I know you're feelin broken

  But I think we've left

  Some things unspoken

  It's sad to say

  I've seen you cry

  You've tried to hide

  Your emotions

  Though your heart's

  Been pourin open

   

  No matter how you try

  There are reasons you can't deny

  For wanting yourself to stay

  To never say goodbye

  Or walk away

   

  You know you wanna

  Get some more of this

  You might want out

  But my dick

  You'll truly miss

  The way I pound you

  From behind

  The harder I fuck you

  The less you mind

  You definitely enjoyed

  My tongue on your tits

  With my hands all over

  Everything, including your clit

  So how about one last fuck

  Just give me a few hours

  And then I'll quit

   

  So whadya say

  Get naked now

  Don't be afraid

  What's it matter

  If you fuck me one more time

  We've been fuckin so much, so long

  We should both be blind

   

  I'll slam you like you want

  On the kitchen table

  Give it to you even better

  On the floor

  You thought we'd be together

  From whenever til forever

  But you don't love me
anymore

  I don't love you any less

  I can tell you honestly

  I will miss that ass

  And I will miss that chest

   

  You know you wanna

  Get some more of this

  You might want out

  But my dick

  You'll truly miss

  The way I pound you

  From behind

  The harder I fuck you

  The less you mind

  You definitely enjoyed

  My tongue on your tits

  With my hands all over

  Everything, including your clit

  So how about one last fuck

  Just give me a few hours

  And then I'll quit

   

  Take it all again

  Take it off and begin

  Beg me for the cock

  I'll leave you unable to stand

  Then you can walk

  Right out the door

  But I think you'll be back

  Beggin me for more!

   

  You know you wanna

  Get some more of this

  You might want out

  But my dick

  You'll truly miss

  The way I pound you

  From behind

  The harder I fuck you

  The less you mind

  You definitely enjoyed

  My tongue on your tits

  With my hands all over

  Everything, including your clit

  So how about one last fuck

  Just give me a few hours

  And then I'll quit

  A Reason Not to Cry

  The colors in your eyes

  Are a pallet of

  Everything wonderful

  The colors of the sky

  I've been away

  So long, I barely remember them

  I can barely

  Recall your face

  You are everything I need

  To make my life complete

  You could never be replaced

   

  When time has

  Turned us around

  And changed us from

  Light to grey

  I hope I can hold you

  And look back on it all

  Each day

   

  We've been buildin

  A foundation

  To the monument

  That is our life

  We've had troubles

  And we've worked out

  All the worries and the whys

  Every day with you

  Has been a celebration

  A reason not to cry

   

  I promise I

  Will try

  To be around more

  Have

  No fear

  I'm here

  It won't

  Be like before

  I've come back

  Full force

  Forgiving you of the past

  I wish for

  The same from you

  So all we have

  Will...

  Last

   

  We've been buildin

  A foundation

  To the monument

  That is our life

  We've had troubles

  And we've worked out

  All the worries and the whys

  Every day with you

  Has been a celebration

  A reason not to cry

   

  I've been blinded

  And betrayed

  I never minded

  Much except

  When you

  Didn't wanna stay

  We accepted our faults

  And made plans

  To bury them away

  To improve our present

  So the future

  Will leave us

  With a lot more to say

  To do

  To keep us together

  To cement the bond

  Of me and you

   

  We've been buildin

  A foundation

  To the monument

  That is our life

  We've had troubles

  And we've worked out

  All the worries and the whys

  Every day with you

  Has been a celebration

  A reason not to cry

  Father’s Day

  Me and my old man

  Never really could

  See eye to eye

  He never seemed to care

  It was like he was gone

  But he was always there

  I wondered why

  It had to be like that

  Til I was eighteen years old

  It felt all wrong

  Like in his world

  I didn't belong

  But I reached a point

  Where I didn't wanna hear

  Any words he said

  No matter what I was told

   

  You'll regret the choices that you've made,

  Old Man

  Happy Father's Day!

   

  Now the uncaring father's son

  Is a man

  Out bravin this life on his own

  Without his father's love

  Sometimes so alone

  I love my dad

  With all my heart

  All of time won't change

  How I feel

  But to really want to

  Make things right

  These wounds he made so deep

  Would all have to heal

  And I know they never will

   

  Hey, dear old Dad

  I wanna say

  Here is a little present

  For you, on this Father's Day

  I love you

  Because you're my dad

  But don't think

  It's any more than that

  You killed any desire

  To believe

  You're not a liar

  But I'm not mad

  I don't really care

  You could never convince me to

   

  I owe you so much

  Cuz you gave me life

  But don't ask me to be around

  I think you know why

  So, Dad, here's some love sent your way

  From the son you never wanted

  And never accepted

  Happy Father's Day!

   

  Some day

  Long from now

  Maybe, you'll say you're sorry

  And I won't allow

  Myself to trust you

  To believe one word you say

  So, unloving Father

  Happy Father's Day!

   

  There are times

  I wish you'd forget me

  And that we share a name

  But you can't

  And I can't either

  So, Happy Father's Day!

  Shit (adult language)

  Tell me your dreams

  So I can

  Tell you you're full of shit

  I know what you mean

  You mean to look out for you

  And no one else

  You care nothing about

  Nothing but

  Your own agenda

  But hey, you got nice tits

  You're a selfish bitch

  A stupid whore

  Who never has enough

  And always wants more

  Than what she's got

  Or what she'll get

  Your life is a one way highway

  And like I said

  You're full of shit

  What Have You Ever Loved Me For

  You are the one

  That I will never forget

  You'll always be

  On my mind

  For all of time

  Forever the piece

 
In my puzzle

  That fits

   

  I wish you well

  Wherever you will be

  I hope you think of me

  But you really can't tell

   

  I don't want you to

  But you have to leave

  You gave me you

  Now you give me

  My heart on my sleeve

  I thought we would be

  Forever together

  Living happily

  But you're sayin

  That you don't need me

  Anymore

  So I ask you solemnly

  What have you

  Ever loved me for

   

  As soon as

  You found where you're headed

  You're headed out the door

  So many things I've said

  Each one I'd like to believe

  I never meant it

  But I've told myself

  All of that before

   

  You've been fallin

  All into

  A hole where all that exists

  Is the darkness in you

  I really wanna light the way

  But at the end of the day

  I'm still so unsure

  Of what to do

   

  I don't want you to

  But you have to leave

  You gave me you

  Now you give me

  My heart on my sleeve

  I thought we would be

  Forever together

  Living happily

  But you're sayin

  That you don't need me

  Anymore

  So I ask you solemnly

  What have you

  Ever loved me for

   

  And I know

  You're never comin back

  My sorrow I have to accept

  Is that tomorrow

  I'll still be

  Prayin for death

  If you could

  I'd ask if you would

  Deliver me

  From this agony

  But I want you to see

  I can't let you leave

  And let you be

  Without it killin me

  Please leave me

  With some of me left

   

  I don't want you to

  But you have to leave

  You gave me you

  Now you give me

  My heart on my sleeve

  I thought we would be

  Forever together

  Living happily

  But you're sayin

  That you don't need me

  Anymore

  So I ask you solemnly

  What have you

  Ever loved me for

   

  You always said you did

  Was it all a joke

  Was there more to it you hid

  I've gone out of my way

  To try to make you stay

  But I have failed

  What more can I say

  You've made me just a shell

   

  I don't want you to

  But you have to leave

  You gave me you

  Now you give me

  My heart on my sleeve

  I thought we would be

  Forever together

  Living happily

  But you're sayin

  That you don't need me

  Anymore

  So I ask you solemnly

  What have you

  Ever loved me for

   

  Have you ever

  End

  We were so close

  To perfect, it scared me

  How am I supposed

  To live with what I chose

  I let you walk away

  And I just couldn't say

  What I wanted

  What I should have

  Our love, I betrayed

   

  I didn't let you know half

  Of what was on my mind

  If only you could've stayed

  But nothing

  Would be the same

  Bot of us unknowing

  A lot of feelings

  We'd never be showing

  Are we both to blame

   

  We couldn't tell

  What was Heaven

  And what was Hell

  Or what was around the bend

  Just think

  We both fell

  Deep in love

  Never enough

  I guess that

  It's just as well

  It had to end

  Games

  Just what exactly
