thinking about all life has to offer...all the times i have let life pass me by and lived again to regret it...how many times can one person fail the same lesson??? getting up only to fall right back down where i started...living lie after lie, living up to everyone else...i am who i am and that is all i can be...forever...i am not perfect, i do have faults...accept all of me or let me go...i don't want to be someone elses slave...i can't live for you anymore...my mind is so tired...tired of sleepless nights, waiting by the phone, only to realize five hours later that you broke another promise...i should have been worth more than that...i know that you were...today i live my life, challenging myself, becoming stronger...one day i will see you and you won't matter anymore...and as you grab for my hand to save you from falling, i'll let you go...cause you would have taken me down anyways...

Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you planned:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.
If you want a lover I'll do anything you ask me to
And if you want another kind of love I'll wear a mask for you
If you want a partner Take my hand Or if you want to strike me down in anger Here I stand I'm your man
If you want a boxer I will step into the ring for you
And if you want a doctor I'll examine every inch of you
If you want a driver Climb inside Or if you want to take me for a ride You know you can
I'm your man
Ah, the moon's too bright The chain's too tight The beast won't go to sleep
I've been running through these promises to you That I made and I could not keep
Ah but a man never got a woman back Not by begging on his knees
Or I'd crawl to you baby And I'd fall at your feet And I'd howl at your beauty Like a dog in heat And I'd claw at your heart And I'd tear at your sheet I'd say please, please
I'm your man
And if you've got to sleep A moment on the road I will steer for you
And if you want to work the street alone I'll disappear for you
If you want a father for your child Or only want to walk with me a while Across the sand I'm your man.......
I'm so alone tonight my bed feels larger than when I was small.
Lost in memories, lost in all the sheets, and all pillows.
So alone tonight, miss you more than I will let you know.
Miss the outline of your back; miss you breathing down my neck.
They're all out to get you, once again; they're all out to get you.
Insecure what you gonna do?
Feel so small they could step on you.
Called you up, answering machine. When the human touch is what I need, what I need,
what I need……..Is you.
I need you.
Looked in the mirror I don't know who I am anymore.
The face is familiar, but the eyes, the eyes give it all away.
They're all out to get you, once again; they're all out to get you.
Here they come again, Here they come again, Here they come again,
Insecure what you gonna do?
Feel so small they could step on you.
Called you up, answering machine. When the human touch is what I need, what I need,
what I need, what I need……..Is you.
I need you.
When we two parted
In silence and tears,
Half broken-hearted
To sever for years,
Pale grew thy cheek and cold,
Colder thy kiss;
Truly that hour foretold
Sorrow to this.
The dew of the morning
Sunk chill on my brow-
It felt like the warning
Of what I feel now.
Thy vows are all broken,
And light is thy fame;
I hear thy name spoken,
And share in its shame.
They name thee before me,
A knell to mine ear;
A shudder comes o'er me-
Why wert thou so dear?
They know not I knew thee too well:
Long, long shall I rue thee,
Too deeply to tell.
In secret we met-
In silence I grieve,
That thy heart could forget,
Thy spirit deceive.
If I should meet thee
After long years,
How should I greet thee?
With silence and tears.
Sleep brings no joy to me
Remembrance never dies
My soul is given to mysery
And lives in sighs
Sleep brings no rest to me
The shadows of the dead
My waking eyes may never see
Surrounded my bed
Sleep brings no hope to me
In soundest sleep they come
And with their doleful imagery
Deepen the gloom
Sleep brings no strength to me
No power renewed to brave
I only sail a wilder sea
A darker wave
Sleep brings no friend to me
To soothe and aid the bear
They ll gaze on how scornfully
And I despair
Sleep brings no wish to knit
My harassed heart beneath
My only wish is to forget
In the sleep of death
If it be your will That I speak no more
And my voice be still
As it was before
I will speak no more
I shall abide until I am spoken for
If it be your will
If it be your will That a voice be true
From this broken hill I will sing to you
From this broken hill All your praises they shall ring
If it be your will To let me sing
From this broken hill All your praises they shall ring
If it be your will To let me sing
If it be your will
If there is a choice
Let the rivers fill
Let the hills rejoice
Let your mercy spill On all these burning hearts in hell
If it be your will To make us well
And draw us near
And bind us tight
All your children here
In their rags of light
In our rags of light
All dressed to kill
And end this night
If it be your will
If it be your will.
