let you go

I need to let you go
I need to say goodbye
I need to watch you fly away
Maybe one day we'll meet agin
Until then I need to let you go

Don't cry
It'll be okay
Please don't look back
This is for the best
You'll be happier
Once I let you go

I can't come
You have to go alone
Don't be scared
It'll be okay
Your better off with out me
I have to let you go

You'll find some one else
I promise you'll be happy
You'll be complete
When I let you go

Goodbye

The chance I take

Everyone Says you'll break my heart
Put out the fire before it starts
You'll string me along and then cut me loose
But I don't care what they say about you

My heart's got a history
Of letting love get the best of me
'Cause I can't hide the way I feel
When I'm fallin in love it's always head over heels

It's the chance I take
It's the chance I take
I bet it on this heart of mine
I might even get lucky this time
Let the chips fall where they may
I'm a fool for love it's the chance I take

Just when I say never again
I'm throwin' caution to the wind
Nothing ventured nothing gained
The only way to win is to stay in the game

I've been on the looking end
But I still wanna love again
I sweep up the pieces when my heart breaks
Put it back together it's the chance I take

I'm a fool for love it's the chance I take
I'm a fool for love it's the chance I take

My universal prayer

My God, I believe in Thee;
do Thou strengthen my faith.
All my hopes are in Thee;
do Thou secure them.
I love Thee with my whole heart;
teach me to love Thee daily more and more.
I am sorry that I have offended Thee;
do Thou increase my sorrow.

I adore Thee as my first beginning.
I aspire after Thee as my last end.
I give Thee thanks as my constant Benefactor.
I call upon Thee as my sovereign Protector.
Vouchsafe,
O my God,
to conduct me by Thy wisdom,
to restrain me by Thy justice,
to conform me by Thy mercy,
and to defend me by Thy power.

To Thee I desire to consecrate all my thoughts,
words, actions, and sufferings;
that henceforward I may think of Thee,
speak of Thee,
willingly refer all my actions to Thy greater glory,
and suffer willingly whatever Thou shalt appoint.

Lord, I desire that in all things Thy will may be done;
because it is Thy will,
and in the manner that Thou willest.

I beg of Thee to enlighten my understanding,
to inflame my will,
to purify my body,
and to sanctify my soul.

Give me strength, O my God,
to expiate my offenses,
to overcome temptations,
to subdue my passions,
and to acquire the virtues proper for my state.

Fill my heart with tender affection for Thy goodness,
hatred for my faults,
love for my neighbour,
and contempt of the world.

May Thy grace help me to be submissive to my superiors,
condescending to my inferiors,
faithful to my friends,
and charitable to my enemies.

Assist me to overcome sensuality by mortification,
avarice by alms-deeds,
anger by meekness,
and tepidity by devotion.

O my God, make my prudent in my undertakings,
courageous in dangers,
patient in afflictions,
and humble in prosperity.
Grant that I may be ever attentive at my prayers,
temperate at my meals,
diligent in my employments,
and constant in my resolutions.

Let my conscience be ever upright and pure,
my exterior modest,
my conversation edifying,
and my conduct steady.

Assist me, that I may continually labour to overcome nature,
to correspond with Thy grace,
to keep Thy commandments,
and to work out my salvation.

Discover to me, O my God,
the nothingness of this world,
the greatness of heaven,
the shortness of time,
and the length of eternity.

Grant that I may prepare for death,
that I may fear Thy judgments,
that I may escape hell,
and in the end, obtain heaven;
through the merits of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Amen.

Goodbye

I feel the room
I feel the air
I feel myself getting heavy
I feel the looks
I feel the gasps

I know nothing
But I know everything
I see your gaze
I feel your anger
I feel your pain

Words unspoken
Touches un-touched
Us no more
The pain still hurts
The memories won't fade

I simply want
what doesn't exist

I want more
for you to vanish

Take your lies
Take your promises
Take your arms that made me safe once
Take your charm

Go back to her
You crave her
Like you once craved me

Little does she know
what's in store for her
The pain
The lies
The hurtful path you leave behind

Theres no room in my heart
It's slowly pushed you out
What we once had
Was nothing more
Than nothing.

Goodbye

Why?

Where are you going?
Please come back to me.
What did I do to deserve this?
Everyone does it...
I should be use to it by now
I can't stop thinking
How different things could be
If only we had tried
If only those words hadn't been spoken
I feel dark and tired on the inside
I wanna lay down and go to sleep
I can't though
for if I do...
I'll only dream of you
It can't be
Tell me it's not true
Please, I beg of you
Let me be
Set me free for once
Let me fly high above the sky
In the clouds I ponder
Why?
Will it ever end?
Will this ride ever come to a stop?
How far can we go?
Please I beg of you
Please just let it end.

Drifting Away

My love grew stronger
each and every day,
but you only said no
in the nicest possible way
"I like her but.."
make me think I have a chance
calling me, holding me,
even asking me to dance.
Why do you do this to me?
Hurt me, with his game?
Trying to be sweet, but,
in the end only causing pain
Do you know what you do?
Make me cry in my sleep?
That look you give me
makes my heart miss a beat.
I give up, you know
I'm not a play thing
not a possession to be bought
like a shiny diamond ring.
Try to say you didn't mean it,
Always meant to be true,
I'm done with this game
Guess what, I'm through.
Sick of the times, alone
wanting to hear your voice
stuck inside, by the phone,
To find out your with her.
I thought she was my friend
honest true, you know
Best friends till the end.
This only proves me right
I cant stand to feel it,
I'm falling out of love
candle burned out no longer lit
The pain you caused me
has no name, I say.
It hurts, when I look at you,
So i know, I'm drifting away..
for sure...

Us

I always wanted more from you
than you were willing to give;
So now we've gone our separate ways
each with different lives to live.

The bond will always be there
the friendship always intact;
But the time for us has come and gone
and the pages of time, you can't turn back.

I will always be a friend to you
and wonder how you are;
The smiles and laughter I will remember
and our fights have become painless scars.

Sometimes on those busy days
when you've a thousand things to do;
Please let me glide slowly through your mind
and spend some time with you.

In that quiet moment
when you're surprised to find me there;
Just remember even with the distance between us
I am still someone who cares.

I am someone

I walked past a dead face
even though the person was alive
I saw my eyes in the mirror
and cried at the sight

I looked at a person I didn't know
and I met a friend
I got heads to turn
when I walked past
I learned alot about myself
When I lost a friend

I cried every tear in my body
When I thought about my love
I got hit bad
then I got back in the ring
I climbed a mountain of rocks
and saw an eagle fly over head

I heard terrible things about myself
When no thought I was listening
I realized that I was strong
When I didn't cry when I got hurt
I found out who I was
When I was with some one else

I thought I was lost forever
When a friend found me
I held a life in my hand
and it's my own

I was a pawn in some one else's game
So I surrounded to a crook
I walked the find line between
surviving and not wanting to survive

I still am
I still am some one
And will always be some one.

free wind

I feel as if I could fly
spread my wings far out
take a chance
just go for it
close my eyes
and feel the wind
let it take me
and guide me to the clouds
let me float
for in the clouds I am free
leave the evil below
feel the wind in my face
feels so nice
I feel so free
I never want to land
