No Return

It started as a comment that I thought was a joke

The fire burning inside didn’t need a another stoke

The flame between us once burnt so strong and so bright

Now the troubled relationship has become another fight

 

Chorus

You were too blind to see

That my love for you was free

Your life no longer included me

There was only you and not we

 

You wanted some time to be alone we gradually drifted apart

Didn’t you realise that this would break my fragile heart?

The distance between us grew bigger by the day

My life a wash with colour has suddenly turned grey

 

I had no where to turn and the dark nights became long

But I survived those nights and came through very strong

Now I’m getting my life back on the relationship track

You’ve sent me a message but now I don’t want you back

 

Bridge

You hurt me more than you could ever know

And now I’ve moved on you won’t let me go

 

You are trying to mess with my emotional mind

I once loved you, you were so beautiful and kind

But now I see someone who is manipulative and fake

You’ve had your chance so leave me for goodness sake

One Day

If you feel like I’m forcing your hand

It’s because I want you to understand

I’m running through sinking sand

Just to be with you

 

If you would give me a relationship sign

So I could cross the friendship line

I want your body next to mine

I want to be with you

 

Chorus

One day my dream will come true

One day it will just be me and you

One day you’ll lie down next to me

One day I hope you’ll finally see

 

You know you could mend my fragile heart

You certainly stood out from the very start

We would never grow old apart

Together with you

 

Bridge

Open you eyes and see what’s in front of you

Take a risk in me and let the sun shine through

Feelings

A simple text that makes my day

The smile you give that never goes away

A question to ask that we both hide

Not wanting to dent our precious pride

 

Chorus

I can’t tell you how I feel

People will judge me, saying I’m wrong

But I know these feelings inside me

They just keep burning,  getting strong

 

The night time calls just to hear your voice

If I was creating the perfect woman, you’d be my choice

Lying awake with your picture inside my head

Wishing you were here lying next to me in my bed

 

Bridge

Will you break me so I can be your perfect man

To make you happy, I’ll do all that I can

 

Do we just sit back and let fate take the lead?

For me to have happiness you are all that I need

A secret wish, that some day, may just come true

For I doubt there will ever be another perfect you

Love You

If I could tell you how I feel I would, but I have a fear of rejection

A special friendship I won’t put at risk for a romantic connection

Keeping my love inside is the hardest thing I have had to do

Being around others, when really I only want to be around you

 

The feeling in the pit of my stomach when I see your beautiful smile

A recognisable scent that partners your own unique style

I love you more today then yesterday, and will love you more tomorrow

The endless love I have for you will not bring you any sorrow

 

To be able to walk proudly down the street holding your hand

Such a simple thing that many people won’t understand

To be able to wipe away your tears when you need someone

It would be an honour to hold you close when the working day in done

 

These feelings inside may only come around once in a life time

Two of us together would make this wonderful world sublime

In a perfect world I would ask you out and you would say yes

I fear the answer will be no but please don’t accept anything less

Not As I’d Planned

Do we all have a plan?

Who sets it out?

How do we know

What’s all about?

 

Chorus

Not as I’d planned

What went wrong

Sitting here alone

Writing this song

 

All that has gone

I haven’t a chance

The moment has past

To have a first dance

 

Bridge

It should have been me with the children and wife

It should have been me living as a family, loving life

 

A second chance

Doesn’t come along

Have I failed?

Is something wrong?

Goodbye to Love

The time has come, I always knew it would

But still seeing you walk away hurt

Could we turn back to the way we were

But then again even that’s not a cert

 

Everytime you walked out of the house

I prayed that you would return to me

In the back of my mind the doubt was there

Listening to others about what they see

 

Chorus

Goodbye to love will I ever see you again

Love has left what will remain

My heart once overflowing with you

Is now empty, broken in two

 

Bridge

I’m sorry that I wasn’t good enough, I gave our love my all

So many highs in our lives, I now face the lonely fall

 

So what happens now, how do we move on

I only want what’s best for you

If it doesn’t include me then that’s something I have to face

But believe me it will be hard to do

 

 

Lost

Walking the streets at night in the cold pouring rain

Don’t know what to do but feeling heart broken pain

Street lamps like a runway, I want to take flight

But leaving you behind just doesn’t feel right

 

Chorus

I’m lost not knowing where to turn

I’m lost not knowing what to do

I’m lost searching for a sign

I’m lost wanting to find you

 

It’s a lonely long walk, I’m wandering all alone

My head is spinning, my heart continues to moan

A thunder bolt in my body, two worlds collide

Which one will speak louder? which one will hide?

 

Bridge

How can I find you when I don’t know where to look

Your glance was a chance that I should have surely took

 

Dark shadows teasing, not easing my troubled mind

Sunrise starting slowly, allowing shadows to unwind

Thoughts become clearer, the light shows me the way

Could there be a happy ending to this glorious day?

Crossed Paths

There we were on two separate journeys

Our lives mapped out ahead

Focus and driven our success was measured

Keep going the quiet voice said

 

At two different points our paths crossed

Uncertain we’d both get along

Suddenly realised we were two lost souls

Life before, it seemed so wrong

 

Our life Journey now morphed into one

With the path so clear and bright

A guide from the past showing us the way

Together our life seemed so right

 

We’re not denying there will be challenges

Some hurdles put in our way

But we will always be thankful to the lord

That our paths crossed that day

Butterflies

If I only got to live for a day

Undoubtedly I spend it with you

Laughing, smiling and maybe a kiss

The day would be perfect and true

 

I ‘d tell you a joke, we’d both laugh

Tears rolling down our face

Hand in hand we’d begin to stroll

Walking the perfect pace

 

We’d stop for a moment to take it in

Our eyes would finally meet

Love flowing back and forth

Two hearts with only one beat

 

Dusk will fall, the night sky set

The town lights a beautiful sight

I’d take you warmly in my arms

And kiss you a loving goodnight

 

How do you feel?

Trying to catch your wondering eyes

To see if your pupils dilate

Searching for that special sign

That conveys love and not hate

 

The gentle touch of your hand

Sending my mind racing

The feelings of uncertainty

That you should be replacing

 

The question that never gets asked

Needs to be answered, no doubt

But how can a pluck up the courage

To ask this beautiful girl out

 

I look in the mirror in the hall

Understanding what you must see

An amazing girl like you

Would have nothing to do with me

 

More questions than answers arise

What is the relationship deal?

One thing I need to see

A sign to show me how you feel

Broken

On the outside I look calm and content

No worries that will ever  be seen

But inside I’m hurting, a broken man

Tired and alone unable to come clean

 

Secrets and lies that only a few know

A mask that the public only see

Wanting to escape, trapped in a world

Please tell me when will I be free

 

Frustration, hatred and love at once

A conflict I fight everyday

How to over come these broken issues

Continuing the struggle what to say

 

Broken life with no obvious quick fix

Normality is not an option

One day people will find out the truth

For now, only their perception
