Can't Put Words To It

Life is so much different from last summer

Different ambition, different soul, even a different style for ya

No more worries, what was I ever worried for?

No more drama cause my dreams are worth way more

On the forefront of my mind at all times

Looking at what’s important, reading between the lines

Letting go of all of my selfish pride

Because hating everything is just a waste of time

Holding on to the love I have inside of me

Teaching myself to grow in a different way

Guess I can finally say I’m a man now

Last summer I was whining about a female

I guess I’ve really changed, no more stupid games

No time to be down there’s not a thing to gain

No more pain, just a smiling face

No more hurt, just keep learning from my mistakes

Make the least money out of all my friends

But I got more money than all my friends

No car cause I really don’t need it

Grab my skateboard and go wherever on it

I’m getting back to everything I’ve always loved

Everything I should have never left

Lord I’m sorry for the mistakes I’ve made

For all the hate I gave, I know it’s not okay

But you forgive me though, so who am I to not forgive?

Your love’s the only thing that got me through places I’ve been

It’s time to change the world and show them how to feel real

It’s time to show the world this love thing’s the real deal

I Tried To Be Perfect

Learn to love me for my imperfections
Just as I've loved you for yours
Such a long road we've traveled together
Such a long time I've tried to change...
Tried to be who you want me to be
Tried to be who you need me to be
Tried to be who you expected me to be
Tried to be everything but me...
Tried and tried until I snapped
Now everything is in shambles
Maybe I'm too forgiving
Maybe I'm blinded by love
Maybe I'm just a fool...
Maybe you don't deserve my forgiveness
Forgiveness isn't deserved or earned...
I can be such a contradiction
You can be too selfish for your own good...
We can learn so much if we just listen
For once keep my feelings in mind
Take a walk in my shoes
God knows that's all I do for you
Maybe I'm wrong, maybe this is all a waste...
I really hope not, that would be such a shame
I wish for so much, but still I try...
Try to be what you need me to be
Sorry if there's only one thing i know how to be
Sorry if that's all I want to be...

Though The Darkness Is Imminent

Do not fret, my love
Though the darkness is imminent
The trembling in your heart will cease
Though the black mist stains the horizon

Your skin is cold to the touch
Do not fret, my love
Though tears stream down your face
Making the taste of your lips bitter

Slowly but surely closing the distance
Consuming the light that stands in its way
Do not fret, my love
Though there is no escape

Blackness enveloping us
Cling to my warmth, dear
Though the darkness is imminent
Do not fret, my love

Pain Love

The people you love the most
Are the ones that bury you
The people that you care for unconditionally
Cast you overboard into the deepest, darkest fathoms of the sea
Those you forgive for unforgivable deeds
Can never let go of the most minute things
For every tear you wipe off of her face
Their bitterness times ten you yourself will taste
And when your heart has finally had all that it can take
They'll add the final blow to make sure that you break
No matter how much you try or what you do
Nothing will ever be good enough, because it's you.

Forever, My Love

I've found the place deep inside of you
I can taste you fear, your trembling from these feelings
So unsure and so lost
So afraid of the love that warms your heart
Afraid of the place I've taken in you
Frantically pushing and pushing away
When all you want is for the comfort to stay
Your quite welcome to remain
Don't shut me out this way
There is no escape
Close to your heart I'll stay
My love is true like no other
Take it for yourself before it's gone, it's yours
No need to understand why you feel this way
You no longer need to be afraid
Why are you so afraid of you?
Why are you so afraid of me?
Take this chance even though you don't understand
Let me take you into my arms
I'll hold you there forever
Forever my love will remain

Selene

The sun fades away in the distant horizon
Twilight appears to take the reigns
Darkness creeps in like whispers to my sight
As her mystic cloak envelopes me
She sings to me the forecast of life
Ever changing and frequently amiss
Her choruses speak of all that could be
Both pure and tarnished, welcomed and unwanted
I close my eyes to escape to a dream
But her song proves to be much too enchanting
I pray for dawn and the hope that he brings
Beg for sleep and it's temporary relief
Tossing and turning, searching for peace
Entranced by the song the darkness still sings
Her verses they scream and pierce my chest
As I pray for dawn to rescue my soul

You

You’re the only one with the power enough to destroy me
All I ask is that you don’t
I can’t believe it’s come to this
To the point of no return
Buried deep inside my heart
Something that will never budge
Something that belongs all too much
Something that I want there more than anything
You
You’ve shown me the brighter side of all of this
All I’ve ever known was the pain
Please forgive me for the wounds that haven’t healed
None of that is because of you
You don’t deserve this
You’ve shown me that I can trust you
Shown me how much you care
Shown me that you're not the same
I swear I see it all
If you could feel what I feel you’d be shocked
If only you knew the things I see
The dreams I have
You know that I’ve tasted love
But it was nothing like this
Do you believe me when I say I’ve never felt this way?
This is so much more
You helped me forgive
You helped me forget
You helped me see myself for what I am
All I ask is that you stay
I promise I’ll get better
I promise I’ll let up
Please just give me the chance

Maybe Today

I wish there was a way to explain
Before you go and say “It’s okay”
Hear me out on what I have to say
Because today I’m coming close..
Yeah, maybe today’s the day
If I could feel your pain I would
Take all of it inside of me
So that you would never have to suffer
Never have to feel a thing
I’ll keep you safe here with me
I would gladly die before I
Would ever let harm come close
Before I’d ever let fear kiss your nose
You’ll always be first in my eyes
Even if you’d fall short of the finish line
You’d always be a success to me
Even if you failed miserably
I won’t ever let you fall
I’ll always be here to catch you
Even if I fall as well
I’ll make sure you land on me.

Between Us...

I’ve watched my faith move mountains
My patience has lasted through the roughest storms
I’ve suffered so others didn’t have to
I’ve made your words my life
You know my heart more than anyone
You’re the only one who truly knows
You are my heart
At least the only reason I have one
So I come to you boldly
To ask for something no one can know
This will always be between you and I
I know you’ll never tell
This is so much more
So much bigger than anything before
I know you’ve heard me
And that it’s all up to me now
Please give me the strength and patience
To endure through this and not lose faith
I’ve trusted you with my life and direction
And you were right, you were so right.
This might be my hardest test
But I thank you that I have the answers

Like Bells

I once was lost, but I've been found
In the midst of my darkest time
I heard your voice, a warming sound
I once was lost, but I've been found
Now in our chests our hearts are bound
And in unison they now chime
I once was lost, but I've been found
In the midst of my darkest time
