Lyrics

How is it that artists can capture the emotions of a so many with a few simple lyrics?
A compilation of several;

I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone
There's just too much that time cannot erase
When you cried I'd wipe away all your tears
And I held your hand through all these years
But you still had All of me
You used to captivate me
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face haunts My once pleasant dreams
Your voice chased away All the sanity in me
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along

I've been afraid of changes
'Cause I've built my life around you 
But time makes you bolder 
Children get older 
I'm getting older too 

(Adding my own version here;) 
I will have to make changes
Now I will build a life without you
Time made me bolder
Our children got older
I'm gettin older without you

(And for the next phase:)
I want to make more changes
I want to build a new life with you
Experience made me bolder
All our children are older
I want to get older with you

I tried to kill my pain
But only brought more
So much more
Am I too lost to be saved?
Am I too lost?
Do you remember me?
Lost for so long
Will you be on the other side
Or will you forget me?
Return to me salvation
(Sometimes) I want to die!!!
My soul cries for deliverance
Will I be denied Christ?

I've been around for you
I've been up and down for you
But I just can't get any relief
I've swallowed my pride for you
I've lived and lied for you
But you still make me feel like a thief
You had me stealin' your love away
'Cause you never give it
Peeling the years away
And we can't relive it
I made you laugh
And you make me cry

You said we'd work it out
You said that you had no doubt
That deep down we were really in love
Oh, but I'm tired of holding on
To a feeling I know is gone
I do believe that I've had enough
I've had enough of the falseness
Of a worn out relation
Enough of the drinking
And the intoleration

I know it hurts to say goodbye
But it's time. 




Listen to the wind blow, watch the sun rise
Running in the shadows, damn your love , damn your lies
If you dont love me now, you will never love me again. 





I can't erase the stupid things I say.
You're better than me,
I struggle just to find a better way.
So here we are, fighting and trying to hide the scars.

I'll be home tonight, take a breath and softly say goodbye.




Intoxicated eyes, no longer live that life.
You should have learned by now
I need some peace of mind, no fear of what's behind.
You think you've won this fight, you've only lost your mind.
You had to have it all,
Well have you had enough?
You greedy little bastard,
You will get what you deserve.
When all is said and done,
I will be the one to leave you in the misery and hate what you've become.

Hold me down (I will live again)
Hold me down (better in the end)
Hold me down.

For my kids when mom doesn't call;

Oh, why you look so sad? 
Tears are in your eyes 
Come to me now 
Don't be ashamed to cry 
Let me see you through 
'cause I've seen the dark side too 
When the night falls on you 
You don't know what to do 
Nothing you confess 
Could make me love you less 

So if you're mad, get mad 
Don't hold it all inside 
Come on and talk to me now 
Hey, what you got to hide? 
I get angry too 
I'm a lot like you 
When you're standing at the crossroads 
And don't know which path to choose 
Let me come along... even if you're wrong 
When the night falls on you
You're feeling all alone 
You won't be on your own 
I'll stand by you 
Take me in, into your darkest hour 
And I'll never desert you 
I'll stand by you 
Won't let nobody hurt you
