Eye Candy

my heart's enlarged with love.
i want to pour it out all over you.
i want to pour my love all over, all over, all over you.

i'm a true soul which is better then those women that fly past you in the night.
i'm reaching out to you, but you won't let me get to you.
the eye candy you chase after can't fill up those holes inside of you.
let me heal your shattered soul and make you whole.

i know i'm not as appetising as the eye candy surrounding you,but my love is honest.
can any of them say that to you?
can they love you for you?
are they able to see the fragile human being that hurts like i do, like i do?

i've been burnt like you, but i still try to find love and i've found you.
isnt' that enough?
i want to help you get back to a better place.
i want to hold onto you until our heart's beat as one.
i'm the one that can make it all better, all better for you.

i'm not easy and i see easier tempting you, but that high won't last long.
underneath her pretty lies a hollow heart, she can't help you.
i'm not a ten but you are only 10 percent a person.
together we can make peace in each other's souls.
let me give you all my love.
let me, let me, let me love you.

you're not sure if what people say to you is the truth.
you're afraid of being used and i can't disagree.
life without love just isn't real.
please take this chance i'm offering you to feel something true.
let's jump into love together.
together we can find happiness.

my heart's enlarged with love.
i want to pour it all over you.
i want to pour my love all over, all over, all over you.

Sweet Poison

it's okay, just let the pain wash you away.
feel the waves of agony crashing over your brain.
it's not as bad as it could be,
let the sweet poison course through your veins until you're empty of pain.

you watch the days pass you by one by one.
there's always another setting sun to come.
you get out of bed less and less.
your hair is always a mess.
you're praying for an escape that never comes.
all around you others move along and you wish you could do the same,
but here you are right where you've always been.

time is stealing everything from you;
your youth, health, family and chances for happiness have all walked out the door.
you'd hoped for so much more,
so take your sweet poison and sink down into the pillows.
the dreams are calling your name and life sucks when you're awake.
life is full of loss and pain.
every day you let the sweet poison take you away is a better day.

it's okay, not every one can win the fight between good and evil.
so let your ideas slide into oblivion.
your battle is more internal.
you brace yourself for all the bad to come.
somehow there's always more.
you run around in circles thinking you're fooling someone into thinking you're a mover,
but all you've done is look ridiculous to everyone.
take a bow and leave it alone,
let the sweet poison carry you home.

tomorrow brings another chance to fuck it up and you'll succeed
in the one way you desperately wish you would fail.
go home and take your sweet poison to feel better.
all your worries and fears will disappear.
you'll relax and be empty,
so empty you'll think you've floated away,
but you'll come down and realize you never left the ground.

Long Long Road

if our paths were to cross, if you were to stumble and fall, my name might be called upon to help you up.
what would i say? would i turn away?
say to you that's the price you pay when you play with a person's heart.
or will i confess? stand up and be a woman that can forgive,
even though i will never forget what you did.
could i wish you the best and be there for you like a friend?
i don't know when, but some day we'll meet again on this long long road.

you'll always be at the back of my mind.
not a pleasant memory, but you are someone i will never forget.
you crop up in my dreams.
when i'm sad your laughter echos around my heart.
you tore my innocence apart.
i don't know where you are.
i don't know who you are with.
i wonder if a woman will ever make you cry.
i'm hoping someday you get what you deserve as you go down this long long road.

time flies by, a neutral party to all life's events.
if by chance, i ever see you again, will i be able to smile?
would i say hi? could i set the past aside and let the bad you did fade from my mind?
stand up and be a woman that can forgive, wish you the best,
pass this test! maybe someday on this long long road we'll meet again.

only fate knows if our paths will cross again. will i recognize you?
will you even remember me? was i just one more girl to meet your biological needs?
will i cry? life is full of twists and turns, you never know how you'll react to a ghost from the past.
there are so many beginnings on this long long road that have no endings.
we'll see, maybe someday, on this long long road i will find out if time really does heal all wounds!

Ten Minutes

you're sticking to me closer then the plague on my teeth.
you're spreading over my life like a contagious disease.
we met for ten minutes and i can't get rid of you!

everything changed in one heart beat.
a chance meeting, two hearts beating,
there are pheromones in the air,
eye contact made, chemistry collides,
smiles exchanged, coy under currents,
but the moment passes in a second.

i keep seeing you every where i go.
i ponder, can there be so many coincidences?
at first i would smile, then i would nod,
but after awhile, you became part of the scenery.
a flight of fancy or just a road not taken.
another part of a boring routine.

the tragedy erupts and unfurls furiously.
a rush to judgement in the name of justice.
it's all the contemporary rage,
run his undies up the flag pole.
declare your victory now the evil is gone.

pile up the evidence and put away your conscience.
backed into a corner you fought it out.
no one blames you for what you had to do.
so why can't you eat?
and why when you close your eyes,
you are back to those ten minutes?

he'll haunt you for the rest of your life.
a random stranger latched on to you
and your whole peaceful world came unglued.
ten minutes was all it took
to know how it feels to go to hell and back!

Whirlwind

throw away the trash, feed the dog
calm the thoughts racing through my head
put away the dishes, take my medicine
tell myself this is part of the plan
pay the bills, fold the laundry
suppress the heavy sighs and bored yawns
this is the glamorous life you left me

run the vacuum, sweep the floor
hope there's another chance outside my door
clip the coupons, go to the store
i thought there would be more
clean out the garage, walk the dog
your leaving me caught me off guard
the legacy of us fits into one trash bin

clean the toilets, change the sheets
i didn't know you had gotten cold feet
cancel the credit cards, forward the mail
the house echoes silence in your absence
take a shower, change my clothes
everything is moving in slow motion
the whirlwind sucked us in and destoyed us

burn the scrapbook, wipe away my tears
i've lingered too long on my fears
write down the pain, drink some more wine
i'm giving myself one last night to be contrite
glue my heart back together, put away my misery
i'm accepting your final exit and moving on
i'm checking getting over you off my to do list!

What I Know Is Me.

let's walk away from the window,
like we don't have a care.
let's leave behind our sorrow,
let the birds carry it into the air.

there will be other lovers.
there will be other heartaches.
cuz what i know is me,
and i always repeat my mistakes.

let's go on about our day,
like nothing hurts.
let's run around and play,
let the laughter kill the pain.

there will be other break ups.
there will be other chances.
cuz what i know is me
and i always repeat my mistakes.

let's go to bed and dream away,
like we are happy.
let's wake up and start the day,
like it's exciting.

there will be other tears to cry.
there will be other nights were we feel like we are dying.
cuz what i know is me
and i always repeat my mistakes.

Masterpiece

i have a wish to make.
i'm not sure what it'll take
to make my wish come true,
but if i get just one chance with you,
then i won't mind a lifetime of nothing new.

i'm not blind.
i know the odds.
i think loving you could be my masterpiece.
all the years of pain erased
when you arms wrap around me.
i know i'll finally find peace.

i want to be cinderella just once,
because i know you're my perfect prince.
we don't need a matchmaker here.
the statistics can't predict happenstance.
if you take this gamble with me,
i'll prove i'm worth the risk.

you're my inspiration to exist.
your presence enhances every nuance.
colors jump out at me.
every sound is music to my ears.
all my fears disappear
when you say my name.

i'll climb mount everest with you
and if we fall, at least i'm dying with you.
i know i can't always have my way,
but if you'd stay, i'd play the game anyway.
that's how much i want this.

i'm not known for my patience.
you see that life is a rush for me,
but without you every road is a deadend.
i hear you say you just want to be friends,
but i need so much more for my heart to mend.

just give me one chance
and i'll love you forever.
it may sound cliche,
but when i'm with you,
i'm a better person.
so help me help you realize i'm your masterpiece too.
