I thought of you today
and how the time keeps passing away
I'm not sure how to deal with this
and the moments with you that I miss

I remember the day like yesterday
you and me in the ocean like children play
you made me feel like I was 10 again
I made you feel like my best friend

Everyday that goes by I feel farther
and the moments with you I felt warmer
now the sun doesnt shine like it used to
and moon doesnt make me smile like you do

Sometimes i'm overcome with feelings
when I imagine I hear your voice
I cant act like I can let you go
I dont have that choice

I dont like how people throw eachother away
its not my kind of game its not the way I play
I could never do that to you
and take everything away we ever said true

It pains me how you take me
throw me away and discharge me
but I wont change you in the heart of me
all this time you are still all I see

through

your eyes  speak to my heart
where I feel these burns
all the secrets unknown to me
my soul you moved

all these questions there
my heart so wounded
love once a stranger
now is all around

all these days so far from me
my mind once so lost
now you like water
my soul has been found

you let my heart be wounded
rested my heart with your mercy
held me among all my fears
my heart has moved

you carried me farther
where I was burned to my core
showed me the light
in the light of you

I will never leave you
I can hear you say
where I once was blind
the light is not broken

all the streets
in my empty room
when I was another brick
in another tribulation

where I was alone and down
you found me there
you cut through the sadness
everything from you

stay

I was in a place
for thousands of days
trying to get closer to you

I never did say
it had to be my way
to be closer to you

I know you were scared
I know you feel me there
trying to just get by

Now that you have what you want
and I am pushed away
If you would let me
I would say
stay
now that you have run away
If I could
I would say
stay

I know you will find the words
to rhyme in your life
its seems like forever
and all you have is time
its the biggest a lie

I know youre scared
I know youre  there
feeling better as you hide

Now that you have what you want
and I am pushed away
If you would let me
I would say
stay
now that you have run away
If I could
I would say
stay

For one minute more would you stay
you know where I'm going to be
by the tree

stay
theres no words left to stay
stay one more night
by the tree
in the moonlight
stay

lifted

I dont want to see you cry
my heart falls
when a tear drops
from your eyes


when you feel it
I feel your pain with you
there is no one closer
than you and I
the same


when you are lost
when you feel the pain
if you feel low
you are safe so know
I am with you


we have this place
we can hide
a shelter for you here
if you are scared


I am with you
even when I'm gone
and when you feel overplayed
I will lift you up to face the day


wherever you go
I am there
you can realize
your burdens I can bear


if you are in another world
I will be watching over you
I will lift you through
I will protect you
I am next to you

you held me

I have to say this
just when I felt like
my life was running out
and I was broken and down
you came around

you were my resurrection
when I needed a rescue
when I needed safety
when I felt empty
you showed me the man
I can be

just when I was broken down
when I felt unworthy
when I felt like I couldnt see
you held me

I never told you
my hope was gone
and the dark captured me
and I didnt care
and then you were there

You didnt know it
I was drowning
and nobody noticed
just when I was out
I was losing
when you found me

you were my resurrection
when I needed a rescue
when I needed safety
when I felt empty
you showed me the man
I can be

just when I was broken down
when I felt unworthy
when I felt like I couldnt see
you held me

The Heart of the Matter

I got the call today I didn't wanna hear,
But I knew that it would come,
An old true friend of ours was talkin' on the phone
She said you found someone

And I thought of all the bad luck,
And the struggles we went through,
And how I lost me, and you lost you
What are these voices outside love's open door
Make us throw off our contentment
And beg for something more?

I'm learning to live without you now
But I miss you sometimes
The more I know, the less I understand
All the things I thought I knew, I'm learning again

I've been tryin' to get down to the heart of the matter
But my will gets weak
And my thoughts seem to scatter
But I think it's about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore

These times are so uncertain
There's a yearning undefined
People filled with rage
We all need a little tenderness
How can love survive in such a graceless age?

The trust and self-assurance that lead to happiness
They're the very things we kill, I guess
Pride and competition cannot fill these empty arms
And the work I put between us
You know it doesn't keep me warm

I'm learning to live without you now
But I miss you, baby
The more I know, the less I understand
All the things I thought I figured out, I have to learn again

I've been tryin' to get down to the heart of the matter
But everything changes
And my friends seem to scatter
But I think it's about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore

There are people in your life who've come and gone
They let you down
You know they hurt your pride
You'd better put it all behind you, baby, 'cause life goes on
You keep carryin' that anger
It'll eat you inside

I've been tryin' to get down to the heart of the matter
But my will gets weak
And my thoughts seem to scatter
But I think it's about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me

-Don Henley

a friend like you

I recall the last look
as we walked away
I find it so hard
even to this day

Some days
I feel like calling out your name
then I cant find the words
except one
and thats
why

You never told me
the wrongs I could make right
If there ever comes that day
when I see you again
I may open my heart
and I will ask you why


I remember a shell you found
lying in the lonely room
I used to share with you
when we said things so true

now everywhere I turn
there are things you left behind
like the sunset around a tree
on a beach where you once
were with me

If I could see you
I would tell you something lately
I've been barely getting by
its been the same all this time

I live and I pretend
like I dont miss my friend
maybe someday I'll see you
or this will never end

Then maybe someday
you will teach me
how to throw to the wind
a friend
like you

back to where I believe

there she was
like a light
in the dark

I had lost reasons
and confidence in me
I wish I wasnt so fragile

I had been through
broken promises
I know I'm not
easily handled

I'm so moved
that you
have love for me
what I been through
wasnt so easy
then you were here
to love me

I was all broke up
all in pieces
yet you had confidence
in me

you opened me
made me see
I'm still good
I'm still free

I didnt want to
beg for anyones time
you want me
I'm allowed
to be fragile
to be me

I needed your kindness
to get beyond this
and I'm so thankful
for helping me
find my way
back to me
to find my way
back to where I
believe

knife

do you know
what its like
to be thrown away
to be cut off
and cut out
to feel the silence
like a shout

now
I see through you
everything your are made of
its all about the things you say
it wasnt enough to push me away
I never knew you

So I feel your knife in my back
are you better now
trying to make me bleed

you gotta do what you do
it makes it easier for you
I feel sorry for you
that you need to bleed me dry
everyone knows the truth

now
I see through you
everything your are made of
its all about the things you say
it wasnt enough to push me away
I never knew you

no such thing as heaven sent

now I think about you and me
and i think of the song
its a real life tragedy

now so much feels like insanity
I fell from the tree thats life
ive tried to brush myself off
from the words Ive hear you say

Brick by brick
and wall by wall
I took the chance
and I took the fall

I'll never fall that way again
my feet will always stay on the ground
I shouldve known better
there is no such thing
as heaven sent

sometimes I give in to these memories
though I know I will never hold you again
I feel sadness for you in all these things
cause you dont know what love means

Its not so hard since Ive hit the floor
I still hold these memories
maybe its my imagination
about all the moments so

I'll never fall that way again
my feet will always stay on the ground
I shouldve known better
there is no such thing
as heaven sent

weight of your words

everything around me
I see what my weakness
has made

was I a poison
was I the thorn in your side
an imperfect picture inside

It doesnt hurt my body
but the weight of your words
crushes me and crashes through

all my doubt
and all my faith
I have fallen into

I need to learn all my doubt
and all my faith to be together
to pour my tears into

I walk in a slumber
theres a pain in my days
where I felt free
now theres a prison
a saviour unsaved

was I a poison
was I the thorn in your side
an imperfect picture inside
just a reason for you

It doesnt hurt my body
but the weight of your words
crushes me and crashes through

Ive never need nobody
I just need my doubt and faith
to fall into

under the tree the water runs deep along my soul where your words made me bleed

you will know

I still believe
the universal needs
you cant take that from me

you needed to leave
you saw what you needed
you still cant see
your love was never blind

all your plays and your lines
you are still impossible
something beautiful
you now walk on

if you asked me what I know
i would say my heart knows
but i dont know anything
all these years reduced like lies
and to a pain i hide

i remember the day
when you threw me us away
and you passed us off and flew
like something you never knew

now i go so slow
thats what you wanted
and I take a breath
just so you know
i dont know

its the hardest thing to see
I know we never began
so i cant say were through
still i remember you

everywhere you ever go
you will feel me
when the wind blows
across the water
and you will know

Months

I'm trying
to get to the heart of this
back to the start of this

the years they complicate this
everything I once thought is
feeling so senseless

January
was the best days we ever had
february
full of hearts and our feet in the sand
March
is when you fell away from me
and April
is when I cried

there are things broken now
and I'm still wondering
caught between why and how

everything I see
doesnt look the same to me
and the leaves fall from the tree

January
the best days we had
February
full of  flowers and holding hands
March
is when you threw me away
and April
is when I cried

the last time

my heart feels older
than it really is
cause Ive lost a friend

I dont have much to say
If I could I would run away
and down

As strong as i am
I still feel her breathe
like the last time
and I feel quiet

its another day
and in another way
the day gives me some
somewhere I wish I could go
I know what it means
when you felt like home

As strong as I am
I still feel the way
how you could see me
for the last time

I wonder does she know
I'm still writing
a song from my heart
for the last time

enough

I see the smile on your face
then I open my eyes
and I cant forget
the way I remember you

I remember the times
and the place
always a smile on your face

In a sense
I go back when I can
the things I cant forget
something beautiful
all the things in you

in my eyes i see the path
the one we never took
the road called
what could have been

I remember the last day
wrapped around you
when it was too close
for you

In a sense
I go back when I can
the things I cant forget
something beautiful
all the things in you

lost

under a thousand stars ive been standing
I remember how far I had to run
to where I found you

the memories make me want to run
ive shut my world that once was you
truth is I gave all I had to give

I feel myself sometimes sink
to all that we have lost
what we shared is still the same

all these smiles I'm so tired
everything that I'm pretending
everything we have lost
for a day we had the sun
for a time we were inside
for a time
sunsets were never ending

some moments I find myself
wondering where you are
where are you standing
do you ever feel the gravity
our understanding

I gave until I had nothing to give
mistakes that I made I dont know
if only the love had its space
my heart blurs its not the same

all these smiles I'm so tired
everything that I'm pretending
everything we have lost
for a day we had the sun
for a time we were inside
for a time
sunsets were never ending

only you know

you know what I believe
there was a day
there was a way
you took that from me

I can still see
that my love was blind
this feels impossible
my heart feels slow

I could never throw you away
I was blind to you in me
I may be so blind
I was never unkind
was I worth walking on
only you know

the tree knows
when I hear your voice
and through the leaves
the wind blows

I cant say the words
wer'e through
it feels impossible
when I take a breath
and the stars know

Its the honest thing for me
I need to breathe
still the tree knows
when I hear you like echoes

I could never throw you away
I was blind to you in me
I may be so blind
I was never unkind
was I worth walking on
only you know

the ocean knows

I feel the breeze
from the ocean to me
its all I can do to breathe

I can see
you had to leave
I see the goodbye
in my mind

There are times
when I cant take my mind
from what my heart knows

I feel you and the wind knows
you take my breath
and the ocean knows
you take my breath
where did you go
as the wind blows
only the ocean knows

Remember the tree
outside of my window
where you know

Time is throwing away
the distance to you
only I know

I feel you and the wind knows
you take my breath
and the ocean knows
you take my breath
where did you go
as the wind blows
only the ocean knows

all the memory
time cant take from me
by the tree

I hope you will feel
when the wind knows
what the ocean shows

I feel you and the wind knows
you take my breath
and the ocean knows
you take my breath
where did you go
as the wind blows
only the ocean knows

smile saying goodbye

Time is bringing down our eyes
I was found I almost made it
it was hard to hide
yet the final kiss
betrayed it

I heard goodbye in the wind outside
left behind the leaves and light
when some light left my eyes
you told me to smile before goodbye
you know I could never let the dark
dim the light in your beautiful eyes

the world was left on shaking ground
your light behind my darkness to remind us
then in my arms no warmth could be found
a kiss in time that could not confine us
looking in our eyes defined us

the time was up on everything  together we know
and the time itself is bringing down our eyes
In the sound of seas and rain falling
I can hear you now as the musics ending

well you know you saw through me
you can always believe it
i would always be on your side
with no disguise

I remember your eyes like no other
you saw the smile behind my eyes
all these things I wont suppress
its no disgrace

If you could see my face
you dance behind my smile
now i'm drifting
on the wide sea
where else in my world
is mine

if you knew how much I'm feeling
there is so much hope no revealing
If you I could be by your side
you would know how hard I'd try

If you could see my face
you dance behind my smile
now i'm drifting
on the wide sea
where else in my world
is mine

name

from you I will not hide
if you feel weak
I will be by your side


I will never dissappear
should you feel blind
I will be your eyes
be to you so kind


If you run from my side
I will wait for you
until you dont hide


if you are let down
surrounded by your fears
i will call your name
for days and years


If you should call
I will make you new
you can count on me
cause its you

Would

Would you be the light in my morning
would you be the calm in my dreams
when the universe shows me signs

would you be the sun rising over me


Would hold me up when I break down
would you keep me standing
Wherever I want to go
would you hold my secrets close
would you protect my soul


would you know my heart
within without
though you could
would you never spit it out


would you could conquer me
when you desire
would you break me up
to make you feel higher


would you take care of me
with no mistakes so I feel free
would you do what you say
would you say what you mean


would you be kind to me
would you stay clean
would you move my heart
when I feel out of place
would you keep the tears from my face


when I feel I will break
would you make the moments clear
would you break the doubts
would you take the fear
would you take away my sadness
make  it dissappear


would You hold my heart
no twists or turns
no changing colors
would you be what I yearn
would you share your life

where there were tears

would you keep me dry

would you never lie
would you give me answers
to all my questions why

counting days

If you could see my mind
there is nothing I hide
if I had it my way
I wouldnt waste another day
to be by your side

I think of the time
and the miles
between me and you

If you could see my eyes
you couldnt mistake me
for the man I can be

everytime I turn around
I count every day
until I will see you

I dont want any tears
only just to hold you
as these days fly by
I hope you are smiling

everyday I fake it
if I could would say it
I never said goodbye
I want to be by your side

sometimes all I can do
I count the times
I was near you

through

There are signs so see it
Your eyes running wild
I tell you I am true
All I need from you
Is all I see

If the night is closing
you will hear me coming
when all you need
is all you will see

roads you walked along
now you feel the light
its in the air wide open
if there is a distance
hold on to me

there is no hunter
there is no smoking gun
you'll see the lights
their coming through
I offer to you

In your sweet soul
like a sirens yearn
your sweet smile smiling
all these nights
we'll see them through

come hold my hand
now I'll hold your heart
you know it wont be hard
this journey will be long

so many seasons coming
nights we will be woven
we close the curtain to this
come we'll see it through

I hear your voice all night
all the signs I see them
I can feel the light
we will see this through

if there is a distance
I will offer me
offer certain words
that will see this through

sands

He's been waiting with time
feels he could be happier
if given her time


if she came back to find
he would give himself
If she would cross that line


If there were any questions
he was broken
hoping for repair
with love and affection
she could keep him there


He's over the regrets
his spirit trying to med
inside the broken heart
He's little boy hiding under the bed


with the more soul he shared
the more the air lingers in a breath
when he remembers his friend


If she ever had questions
he was broken and repaired
all the love and affection
he couldnt keep her there


staring at the sand
its cold everywhere
stars like the sands
the wind blowing away
the shadow of a man
