Be there

Days become darker

Thoughts begin to match

Nights become lonely

Life becomes detached

Silently surrendering

Brave face appears

Hurt behind the smile

Pain behind the tears

A shrinking recluse

A world unable to face

Life now a struggle

A struggle to replace

A friend came calling

Answering a cry

Didn’t want a reason

Never asked for a why

Time spent talking

Shadows disappear

No judgement given

Life back in gear

Days becoming lighter

Thoughts begin to match

Nights no longer lonely

Life no longer detached

I’m Sorry

I’ve tried to figure out what I did wrong

Every day I think about it for far too long

Things were going well but I pushed too hard

The messages stopped and you put up your guard

Chorus

I’m sorry I couldn’t live up to be the man of your dreams

I’m sorry that you couldn’t see a future with me

I’m sorry if I hurt you but I’m not sure what I did

I’m sorry that you couldn’t see the love within me

Not a day goes by without your picture in my mind

The bottom line is life can sometimes be unkind

I’ve tried to move on but no-one compares to you

If feelings were a colour, then tonight I’m blue

When I see you again, I don’t know what to say

I’m trying too hard to keep my feelings at bay

My stomach in knots and I begin to talk too fast

Looking for a leading lady, then you’re the perfect cast

Bridge

You get more beautiful each and every day

A second chance?  I’ll continue to pray

Photograph

A stranger’s photograph

You were picture perfect inside the frame

You stood there glowing

Your smile was gleaming

Your eyes told me all I knew

A stranger now but never more

Love sick but you are the cure

Love speaks

Through a photograph

our eyes meet

Unknown hearts

sync their beat

No longer alone

I find out who you are

We exchange numbers with our friends

The moment I saw you

We connected instantly

Life would never be the same

A friend now and ever more

Love sick but you are the cure

Love speaks

Through a photograph

our eyes meet

Unknown hearts

sync their beat

No longer alone

Now I am dating you

I hold you hand walking down the street

I can’t believe my luck

Heads begin to turn

I’m luckiest man alive

A lover now and never more

Love sick and you are the cure

Love speaks

Through a photograph

our eyes meet

Unknown hearts

sync their beat

No longer alone

Come out of the shadows

Always behind

Never in front

Always afraid

Don’t be so blunt

Try as they may

To push me back

Trying to climb

No holding back

Chorus

Come out of the shadows

Come into the light

No longer in the background

Try as they might

It’s your time to shine

Your dreams in sight

Come out of the shadows

You are now the light

Always bottom

Never on top

Always the side

A simple prop

Try to adjust

Try to be clear

Thrive for the best

Live without fear

Bridge

As darkness approaches and the light is fading

Reach inside and allow the torch to shine
