"Know Your Name"

You’re tired and drained.

And you’re battered and bruised.

What has he done to you?

You’re broken and gone.

And you’re left without use.

What has he done to you?

You’ve fallen and landed.

Your bones are weakened too.

What has he done to you?

You’re flat and deflated.

And don’t know what to do.

What has he done to you?

Hold your own.

Know your name.

Go your own way.

Stand up tall.

Fight the pain.

And go your own way.

Know your name.

Laugh out loud.

Take him down.

Make a dream.

Believe it’s true.

And do what’s good for you,

and only you...

"I Can't Breathe"

Words, can roll off the tongue simple as

Life, can just pass you by.

Speak, thoughts inside your head cos

Truth, you can all deny.

And actions, are what makes noise,

So I shout, for you to hear my voice.

But you walk on, and don’t listen to me.

So now I can’t breathe.

(chorus)

I don’t win.

 And I don’t think I ever will

Dream,

That you love me.

And I don’t imagine,

I don’t think I ever will

Believe,

That you loved me.

Dance, all over this heart of mine while you

Sink, in another man’s heavenly eyes.

Sing, the tune of a beautiful song as you

Fall, in the soul of the beautiful one.

And move move, on to another one

As your time here has already gone.

You walk on, and don’t listen to me.

So now I can’t breathe.

- chorus –

I want to have trust in you,

Honestly I do.

But I can’t help but lose faith in you,

Because of all you do.

I want to believe what you said to me,

Honestly I do.

But I still think that you’re lying to me,

Because of all you do.

- chorus -

"We Love, We Lose, We Learn"

I keep little pieces of you underneath my pillow.

One day I’ll put them together.

Make the most beautiful dream come real.

You draw little pictures for me on the window.

The image will last forever.

You’ll never know though how it made me feel.

(Chorus)

Tell me who you are please, coz,

I don’t know your name.

I thought I knew the person,

Not the player playing the game.

And tell me who this heart belongs to, coz,

It doesn’t belong to you.

I thought I fell in love with the person,

Who spoke the truth.

I still keep little shards of dreams hanging in the air.

I refuse to believe it’s over.

We may love and lose but we love again.

You say all of the right things whenever you’re not there.

Breathing is getting slower.

The deathly silence draws to an end.

- chorus –

And we love, we lose, we learn.

And we live, we lie and we burn.

Mistakes are made and lives can change,

In the space of a heartbeat.

And we love, we lose, we learn.

And we fight, we fall and we turn.

Words are said and they fill our heads,

And we think we become complete.

- chorus -

"Love To Hate"

We haven’t spoken for a while,

And I’ve forgotten your smile.

Has he stolen it from you?

Is it not something you do,

Anymore?

We used to talk all the time,

But now you have a new life.

Has he changed you for the better?

Has he stolen you forever,

Ever-more?

(chorus)

You don’t need me,

You don’t need me, anymore.

You have found,

You have found what you’re looking for;

A man to manipulate,

A man to dictate,

A man to make mistakes,

A man you love to hate.

I had many conversations with you,

But I don’t know which face I was talking to?

Has he given you a new one?

A journey to a new sun,

And stars?

I loved you every day I missed you,

And I can’t believe after what we’ve been through,

It all ends so soon,

It all ends so soon and I don’t know who,

You are?

- chorus –

Sit in silence.

Watch the words fall from the empty sky tonight.

We have no patience.

We rushed into things to only regret what was right.

- chorus -

"Beautiful"

Catching my breath, seems effortless,
When I’m ten feet underground.
With my head in the sand, and an empty hand,
Not one friend around.
And it’s times like these I forget to breath,
And damaging my skin.
And it hurts so much, this sharp touch,
But the drive comes from within.

It’s uncontrollable. Something I cannot help.
Uncontrollable. Somebody needs to help me. Help me.

Am I really that beautiful,
For you, to really want to stay?
Am I really that beautiful,
That you, would actually want to love me.?
I don’t really feel that beautiful,
Today, or any other day.
I don’t really feel that beautiful,
I say, I want to take myself away.
Just to see the consequences.
Just to see the consequences.

Watching the sun, as the day begun,
Still feels strange to me.
With my heart on my sleeve, you decide to leave,
Make it look so easy.
And it’s times like these, my mouth no longer breaths,
Injecting the pain.
And you can try to forget, the way that love first met,
But it all ends up the same.

I am forced to question, these people, who tell me I’m beautiful.
What do you see, that I cannot see?
I’m in the position, to doubt their words, I don’t feel beautiful.
What do you see, that I cannot see?

"Lines"

I’m breathing.
But only barely hanging on, through,
This time of your departure.
And I was smiling.
But that didn’t last long, you,
Had to go ruin this adventure.

(Chorus)
Love is gain.
Love is pain.
Love is short.
Love’s insane.

Love is gain.
Gaining the whole world in your hands.
(But) Love is pain.
It falls down and you don’t understand.
(That) Love is short.
But the memory stays on forever.
Love is fake.
Love’s not true.
And I have learnt this, from you.

I’m here.
Back in my space, tenth time,
And possibly the last time today.
I’m trying.
To not be a disgrace, all the time,
And let you fall in to my games.

(Chorus 2)
Love is blind.
Love is so unkind.
Love is poor.
Love is not placed in the mind.

Love is blind.
Blind to all reasoning and compromise.
Love is so unkind.
Never forgiving to any form of lies.
Love is poor.
It takes and it takes, and has nothing to give.
Love is a curse.
Love’s a disease.
Why would you ever want to love me…?

When I have these lines,
Engraved in to my skin?
They’re not for your eyes.
I let your temptation win.

Love is so cruel, so kind.
So wrong, so right.
Love is greener on the other side.

Love is so wild, so tame.
So different, but the same.
Love is nothing, but a simple game.

"Another Game"

The boy, he cries on my shoulder.
Tears do fall in their storms.
And all I want to do is hold him,
And keep him safe and warm.

The man, he tries to kiss me.
But he's too drunk to see,
That he's just caught in the moment,
But it means a lot more to me.

The child, within, takes over.
The start of another game.
Don't appreciate the supportive nature.
To him it's just all the same.

The gentleman, thinks he's helping.
Taking my hand from my side.
He has this idea of dancing,
Underneath the street light, outside.

"Love"

I know not what love is,
But what it can do.
I've witnessed the special effects,
That it's had on you.
I know not how love feels,
But how it can dictate.
I thought one day many years ago,
That love was in my fate.

I know not why love consumes,
Or why it is so addictive.
I've not joined in the process of loving,
And yet I feel restricted.
I know not when love can strike.
I question if it happens at all?
Funny though, that it's always on my mind.
Just waiting and waiting for the call.

I know not why love is a drug,
To be taken twice a day.
But I know if I don't get my dosage,
Then my heart will soon decay.
I know not why love is sparse,
In such a romantic society.
Seems to only choose the brave,
And skip the weak like me.

I know not why love is here,
Showing itself in such young skin.
Creating a situation,
Where nothing can begin.
I know not why love is you.
You're from a different dream.
I can fight all I can but still,
You, reign supreme.
