the stuff i come up with at odd hours

Afraid To Fall In Love

There have been times for the better
But somethin seemed to pull it all apart
And you ask yourself what went wrong
But you can't find a reason in your heart

Your eyes were closed in the lonely night
Afraid to fall for the one who made it right
It's a broken love that you can't understand
And it's left these scars upon your hands

I know, it's a long road to the light
And it's easy to fall off the only way

Chorus
No one can find the one you use to love
Cause he's gone and you don't know why
Now you're afraid, afraid to fall in love
Cause you don't know if this will die

The voices that haunt you day and night
The sound that breaks apart your every move
Doubt inside that you try to hide in your eyes
Cause of the things you believe you'll lose

There's always gonna be somebody there for you
You can't see them, you might not know them
He might be the guy who wished he could hold you
She might be the one who looked at you again

Now I know it's not easy to let someone in
The walls we have to keep us, must come down

Chorus
No one can find the one you use to love
Cause he's gone and you don't know why
Now you're afraid, afraid to fall in love
Cause you don't know if this will die

No one can ever know that things will be alright
But if you don't try, you'll never find love
You've put your heart on the line, too many times
But this time, they could be the one you want

Chorus
No one can find the one you use to love
Cause he's gone and you don't know why
Now you're afraid, afraid to fall in love
Cause you don't know if this will die

sad song, still good i believe

Broken Rose

No one understands the pain inside
When in younger days light won't shine
It was a one way street day and night
And no one there to stop all the fights

I'm still tryin to shake the past
It's not really like what it used to be
It's a change that I'll never forget
Deep inside it stays forever with me

I held it so long, I tried to let go
But I don't believe that it's all gone

Chorus
How did we let this happen to start
How could no one stand by, heaven knows
It's been me by myself for oh so long
And I'm still living like a broken rose

I tried to move on, and it's still with me
I can't move so fast if I want to break through
I'm moving on to a better life with love
Cause all I have is what I've made new

And I find a new life, it's meant for me
But then somethin happens and it's shaken
Where did the love go, what am I gonna do
It never hurt so much, it's made me broken

I held it so long, I tried to let go
But I don't believe that it's all gone

Chorus
How did we let this happen to start
How could no one stand by, heaven knows
It's been me by myself for oh so long
And I'm still living like a broken rose

I held it so long, I tried to let go
But I don't believe that it's all gone

Chorus
How did we let this happen to start
How could no one stand by, heaven knows
It's been me by myself for oh so long
And I'm still living like a broken rose

a sad song for sad times

No Goodbye

I was waiting for your call to come
But the phone never wrang even once
Still waited for the longest time
Waiting for you, didn't know you'd run

I turn out the lights and begin to cry
I thought you were everything for me
All the memories that we've shared
Were just the path to you breaking me

I lose no matter what I try to do
And you'll never know the reason why

Chorus
I pictured a house with you and me
But the dream has become a nightmare
One mistake and you don't see
And now you're gone with no goodbye

I'll hide my pain even under the sun
Yet deep down it hurts more then ever
I don't know what I'm suppose to do
I'm lost in these thoughts forever

I thought you would fight but you ran
I didn't know who I could hold on too
The look in your eyes says it all
I know where you'll go and what you'll do

I lose no matter what I try to do
And you'll never know the reason why

Chorus
I pictured a house with you and me
But the dream has become a nightmare
One mistake and you don't see
And now you're gone with no goodbye

I lose no matter what I try to do
And you'll never know the reason why

Chorus
I pictured a house with you and me
But the dream has become a nightmare
One mistake and you don't see
And now you're gone with no goodbye

kind of a love song...kinda

Someone To Hold

Each night I think what could it be
When no one wants to spend it with me
Is it something that I tried to say
Is there's something wrong with me

I know you might not see the problem
When I don't get the time of day from you
I wish that I was better off without you
But we both know I can't live this lie

Chorus
There will be times when it don't get worse
And you've lost the will to fight anymore
You just want someone, someone to hold you
But If they walk out, they're aren't for you

This jealousy that's built up inside of me
What can I do when everyone's got your time
I'm stuck in the corner of this lonely room
While you don't know what it's feelin like

And when you're hurt you come runnin to me
And I care for you too much to ignore you
But I don't wanna be just like a friend
I've said it, I've got nothin left to lose

Chorus
There will be times when it don't get worse
And you've lost the will to fight anymore
You just want someone, someone to hold you
But If they walk out, they're aren't for you

You'll have to see me like I can see you
Cause unless you do, I can't try to smile
I hold on to the desperate chance for you
I'm still waiting after all these miles
That we've been through

Chorus
There will be times when it don't get worse
And you've lost the will to fight anymore
You just want someone, someone to hold you
But If they walk out, they're aren't for you
