i know

i know what i want to do but i cant

i know what i want to say but i cant

i know where i wanna go but i cant

i know who i want to leave my life but i cant

tactile

When the weight of the world Breaks down so strong it
Leaves footprints on the street
And theres too many miles to face
Without a few more hours sleep
The storm clouds overhead won't shed
Any rain to quench your thirst
I wanna be the one you reach for first
When your faith is stretched so thin
That you can see right through your soul
And you cant find a nickel to buy a smile cuz all ur pockets all got holes
You wanna shut the door and Hide before the day can get much worse
I wanna be the one you reach for first
I wanna be the bottle you've been drinkin with your eyes
Or the road you run away on
You've been runnin all your life
The third row pew that you last knew As a child in church
I wanna be the one you reach for first

alive

I've finally come to realize that we are all the same If there's nothing left to lose then there's every to gain All the paragraphs and pages you could write could not contain It is curious and careless and it's flowing through my veins The fear of growing old, and doing what you're told You can't disguise a heart while it's breaking You hide behind the smile you're faking It's all about the the chance you're taking Oh, and you know that you're making it all come alive If your life is so damn comfortable then why do you complain? A reflection in the alcohol you're pouring down the drain Just because you paint a picture doesn't mean it fits the frame This is my West Coast intervention and I'm getting on that plane When all of your mistakes are keeping you awake The sun is setting and it's ending 'cause you're letting it go Forgetting everything you already know And it all goes to show that you're moving to slow It will end up changing you, Life flies by so you have to embrace it Forget the past 'cause you cannot erase it So live the dream, and learn to chase it And when you can almost taste it It's all come alive

Hi Sweetheart,

I'd show you what it'd be like to have it all.
& i'd still love you when the lights went out

lifetime thoughts

people have to face regrets. becoming mature means learning to accept
what you cannot change, facing unresolved
sorrows and learning to love life as it really happens, not as you would have it happen..life isn't supposed to be an all or nothing battle between misery & bliss, it isn't supposed
to be a battle at all. & when it comes to happiness, sometimes life is just okay, sometimes
it's comfortable, sometimes wonderful, sometimes boring, & sometimes unpleasant. when
your day's not perfect, it's not a failure or a terrible loss. it's just another day
disguises will never work everyone knows who you are. you aren't
fooling anybody. don't act up above your standards

destination

You're amazing but you're taking too much time
I’ve only got six candles left And I’m trying to keep this off my mind
It’s getting darker but it’s the way they make me feel
They try to fill my head with questions
They all doubt you but I know you're real
If it takes time then I’ll be patient
Know that I will still believe I’ll take your hand and hold it tightly 'cause
I know you’ll carry me
Take me high, Take me in, Take these last six candles
And when I’m tired, and wearing thin
Give me the strength to carry on
Here I am, see my hands, take these last six candles
We’re moving on, we’ll keep, keep, moving on
And I’m so thankful for every breath I take
There's not a moment that goes by I waste wiping tears out of my crying face
Don’t look so sad, you’ve missed the point
I’m still so glad I knew you against the odds
I’ll take my chances and burn this candle through you
If I could ever see the way you understand me
When no one else can see it I know you surround me
I’ll be the one who listens only when you tell me
Not walking but running, not talking, yelling
And they might never understand why I do what I do
But I can only speak my mind
And what I feel is true I’ll take a vow to be the only one who stands if it takes
All that I am, I will be standing, there

shattered & rebuilt promises

But
i can't promise you perfection, cause that is not who i am.
i can't promise you forever, cause i don't hold fate within my hands.
i can't promise you the sunshine, because i know there will be rain.
i can't promise you complete happiness, cause with true love, there comes pain.
i can't promise to always smile, cause life always has a way to make me cry.
i can't promise to always stand strong, cause it's never easy to want to give life another try
all i can promise you is me myself and i.
i can promise to always be there when you need someone.
i can promise to be fully loyal and love you to the best of my abilities.
I can promise to fight for this when things get rough

and most of all not give up without that fight
