Confessing

Babe, The day you pissed me off I called him to pick me up

I told him you were buggin but I don’t like to fuss

He said he would look out for me if I needed a friend

So he took me to his house and then he invited me in

We sat on the couch and he put his arms around my waist

He knew that I needed loving so then he grabbed my face

He kissed me like a guy has never kissed a girl before

But you know what happened baby I need to say no more

I’m just confessing

About the things I did

I might as well come clean

Now you know where I have been

I’m just guessing

That you’re through with me

Cos there’s the facts

So what you feel about that?

Mum, remember the time you wondered where you’re money went

I called my girls, brought some clothes & it all got spent

I saw this guy who was a cheat but we talked all the time

He asked me bout my man and you know that I had to lie

He thought I had no man and that I was chilling by myself

Don’t get mad cause I got sad that’s why I must confess

Babe, so many times I wanted to let you know my dirt

But every time you said you loved me I knew it would hurt

I’m just confessing

About the things I did

I might as well come clean

Now you know where I have been

I’m just guessing

That you’re through with me

Cos there’s the facts

So what you feel about that?

Dad, remember when I called you up crying on the phone

And said that I was scared but you told me not to moan

Truth was I had a guy with me so I wasn’t alone

I just wanted to know what time you were due to get home

We spent the night together making out on your couch

I know you told me not to have anyone in the house

And you’d kill me if you knew that I was being a cheat again

But you had no clue and sadly neither did my boyfriend

So I’m now confessing

Bout all the things I did

I’ve just came clean for you

Everything I’ve told is true

I was mad what was I to do?

I never thought that I’d cheat on you

But everything you put me through

I can’t tell a lie so I’m telling you the truth

Mum, I was broke what was I to do

I never thought I’d do that to you

And after everything that you’ve been through

I can’t tell a lie so I’m telling the truth

Dad, I was bored I’m sorry its true

I never thought I would sneak on you

But you left me alone what was I to do

I can’t tell a lie so I’m telling the truth

I’m just confessing

About the things I did

I might as well come clean

Now you know where I have been

I’m just guessing

That you’re through with me

Cos there’s the facts

So what you feel about that?

If I Were You...

If I was good
I'd tell everyone I know
If I was free
I wouldn't be so keen to go
If I was wrong
I would take it like a man
If I was smart
I would get out while I can
If I was broken
I would probably let it be
If I was dying
I wouldn't go out quietly
If I was lost
Well my heart would feel the same
If I was honest
I would probably be ashamed

But if I were you
I would notice me
If I were you
I would wait for me
If I were you
I would easily hold me and say
It's all gonna be OK

If I was rich
I would spend it on my own
If I was dignified
I'd only smoke at home
If I was dark
I would only dress in black
If I was chosen
I would gladly give it back

It's not for you to judge
From all this kind of stuff
I'm only half of what you see......

Sun, Summer and the Rain

by Kate Gibbs

Flourished we were crushed we are,

Time overcome lost by far.

Come undone exposed and denied,

Uncovered confessed suppose I lied.

I’ll go as the sun caused the shading,

I’m gone as the day is fading.

I lied but my injuries lay in the dust,

In my heart it’s just the two of us.

Stays white purity despite what was shown,

And it was nice not to be so alone.

So I held onto the secrets of hope,

In a belief that somehow we would cope.

But these silly little wounds will never mend,

And were we foolish to try and be friends.

Although I can’t resist what’s known of day,

Because it’s so hard to walk away.

The summer is all in bloom,

But the summer is ending soon.

Season of change and completion of trade,

Reaping the consequences of the choices we made.

On a cloudily day it’s clearer than you see,

For the sun in summer blind you and me.

We stayed out late and rose first,

Maybe it wasn’t our fault we were cursed.

We were going way to fast,

Because it was all too sweet to last.

Love or something ignites in my veins,

And I prayed that it’d remain.

But deprived I was denied,

And you acted so surprised.

But in summer it does rain,

And the sun burns which creates pain.

Maybe you were just faster than me,

Found a lock but left behind the key.

Just a melody in a song sung so deep,

But what I gave was yours to keep.

But I’m gone as the day is leaving,

The rain came and I’m disbelieving.

We were all in love in summer hot dirt,

We were so sure and we all got hurt.

The summer is ending how?

I wish I could change it now.

But I won’t, I’ll go and survive,

The rain is here… we tried.

Ashes

There’s silence tonight

And silence shields the pain

It commenced as you would play

And I forgot this was all a game

It finished abruptly

Time ran out

It didn’t turn out exactly right

But only you can see the darkness

In such an obvious light

I’m just watching

Ashes from the flame

Where we had raised together

Where we all knew our names

Wish you’d miss heaven

Then they’d take us back

But you’re filled with contentment

And there’s too many bags to pack

So fly tonight

You’re living on a golden dream

It really isn’t

As bad as it seems

Nobody’s listening

Everybody’s talking

Nobody’s waiting

Everybody’s walking

Moving on

As time passes us by

But I never want to die

Shelter me from pain

I’ve always wanted to feel this way

From the ashes to the grave

Will you remember my name?

When I’m finished this game

When my world stops turning

My heart stops burning

And I stop yearning

Discover the exit

Out the door

Desire nothing more

What am I waiting for?

Hurting You

Please don’t think of me

If you do you’ve gotta block it

I’ve got chills tonight

And you cant be here to stop it

I’m not a parasite

It’s just a lonely night tonight.

You’ll meet other girls

Who’ll break your heart

If I see you with them

Its gonna tear me apart

Maybe in another life

We wouldn’t be alone tonight

I’ve hurt you I can see

Do you think its not killing me

The grass ain’t always green

And if it’s hurting you

Gotta know its hurting me

I Can’t Live

No I won’t forget this evening

I saw you face as you were leaving

But I guess that’s just the way the story goes

You always but in your eyes your sadness shows

No I won’t ever forget today

You got in your car and drove away

I’m searching for a reason did I make you mad?

How am I suppose to carry on with my Dad

I can’t live because I’ve always lived with you

Tell me how do I live because I’m struggling to

I’m sorry for whatever happened but just come home

And maybe then we’ll all stop feeling so alone

No I won’t forget yesterday

Just as I wont’ forget today

What did you have me believing?

When did you know you were leaving?

No I can’t forget tomorrow

When I think of all my sorrow

When I had you there but then I let you go

And now its only fair that I should let you know

I’ve tried to live but what is living without you

Tell me what to mend cos it’s hard know what’s true

I wanna be able to breathe show me how

I wish I knew how to live without you now

I won’t forget these last days

But it doesn’t matter what anyone says

You’ve gone now and you can’t come back

You made your bed leave it at that

I won’t forget the years

But you’re not here to wipe my tears

As you baby girl mourns through the night

Do you even wonder if I’m alright

But I can live and there is living without you

I can breathe because she helped me pull through

Strength is my mother for all the love she gives

Because she is the one who showed me how to live

Thankgod I Found You

I would give up everything

Before I’d separate myself from you

After so much suffering

I’ve finally unburnished truth

I was by myself the longest time

So cold inside

And the heart from my heart

It would not subside

I thought I’d die

Until you saved my life

I would give u everything

There’s nothing in this world I wouldn’t do

To ensure your happiness

I cherish every part of you

Cos without you beside me I can’t survive

And I don’t wanna try

If you’re keeping me warm each and every night

I’ll be alright

Because I need you in my life

Thank god I found you

I was lost without you

My every wish and every dream

Somehow became reality

When you brought the sunlight

Completed my whole life

I’m overwhelmed with gratitude

Because baby I’m so grateful I found you.

What Its Like To Be Me

Baby Tell me
Tonight...
Im like the kinda girl
That you wanna take me home
Wanna meet me alone
Do you even know what I like
Just what I'm living for,
What I adore
Baby, take the time to realize I'm
not the kind to sacrifice
The way I am
So if you wanna be my man

Walk a mile in my shoes
Do me right or I'm through
Can't you see that
If you wanna stay around
Youve got to figure me out
Take your time or you loose
This is my game, my rules
And I can see, obviously,

You don't know
What It's like to be me

Don't you get it twisted boy
I want you too
But you got my heart to win
Before I let you in
And this deceives you baby
I'm not the other in leading
I need someone to love

Get to know me
Then you can show me
that you love for me is true
Ill give you everything
That a girl can give
Just let us live.

Walk a mile in my shoes
Do me right or I'm through
Can't you see that
If you wanna stay around
Youve got to figure me out
Take your time or you loose
This is my game, my rules
And I can see, obviously,
Baby you don't know
What It's like to be me...

That’s All I Need

Just with a smile I shivered

Just with one word he had me

I was swoon and felt easy

And as if I never saw I see

He cut around the edge of me

Shaped me again so I’d fit

Pasted me back together

From a fidget now I sit

It’s crazy how I never saw it

Before I knew I was blind

How could you just suddenly show interest?

Can you read my mind?

When I think I can I hear you

Here’s my heart you’ve got the key

It’s soon I know

But you’ve come to rescue me

I can’t thankyou enough

Was loved, lost and found

And you picked me up took and away

And put my feet back on the ground

Diversion or distraction

You took away the pain

When my sky was the darkest grey

You were my protection from the rain

Where did I go right?

How did I get you?

How come suddenly I’m smiling

I’ve really got no clue

Because I am arriving

When everyone’s leaving

But yet you are waiting

And I still can’t believe it.

It makes no sense to me

No it isn’t clear

But somehow you still are

Standing here

Something gets to me

It hasn’t been that long

But I’m happy to know for once

Nothing is wrong

I don’t know what it is

That makes me feel like this

But you make me smile

For now I can breathe

And that’s all I need.

Dreams

It’s really early morning

But it’s so late at night

Dreaming to be asleep

So I could be with you tonight

Please let me sleep for when I sleep

I dream that you are here and you’re mine

I wake but then I dream

And all my fears are left behind

So let the this light glow gently upon this face

Let me have my chance to be

Maybe somewhere somehow he’ll feel

And then he may dream of me

Together, apart, I float on air

The nightingale sings gentle lullabies

I wake but yearn to dream

So let me close my eyes

And sleep gives a chance to dream

So I see the face I long to kiss

I wake and I cry

As only dreams can bring me this

I hide beneath the clouds

That whisper to the evening stars

They tell me love is just a dream away

But those dreams won’t stay…

So let the moon shine softly

On the boy I long to see

Then maybe when he dreams

He’ll dream of me

Misery

Shadows are falling all over town

Instead of serving my own misery

This misery has got me down

I sure could use some company

Since you’ve bin gone

I haven’t been the same

I carry the weight

Like an old ball and chain

I’m hurting and you don’t care

Guess it’s all meant to be

It has always been this way

For love to cause such misery

And I’ve been down this road

With a passion pursuit on the bend

And each time I saw love walk door

I swore I’d ever get cut up again

But ain’t it true

It takes what takes

And sometimes we get too smart

Too late

One more heartache 4 me

Another night with misery

I’m so used to this now

Tell me y does my heart make a fool of me

Seems it’s my destiny

For love to cause me such misery

Love Takes Time

I had it all but I let it slip away

Couldn’t see I treated you wrong

I wander around feeling down and cold

Trying to believe that you’re gone

I don’t want to be here without you because I’m alone

Love takes time to heal when you’re hurting so

I can’t escape the pain inside because love takes its time

But sometimes I think that I was blind to let you go

Losing my mind from this hallow in my heart

Lord I’m needing you to tell me how to stop the rain

Suddenly I’m so incomplete

Tears are falling down and I’m in so much pain

You might say that it’s over

You might say that you don’t need me there

You might say you don’t miss me

You might say that you don’t care

But I know that you do and I feel that you do inside

It’s just that love takes time to heal when you’re hurting so

I needed you to leave and I knew I couldn’t stay

But even though it was I who left I just can’t let go

Daddy’s Arms

Going back to a tender age

So full of confusion and rage

Mama says “Girls your daddy’s gone”

There’s hand on your shoulder as your throwing dirt

Someone says “Time heals the hurt,

Little one you’ve gotta keep on keeping on”

But all I want is Daddy’s arms.

You ride back home with an empty seat

Where his body once had been

Your sister can not look you in the eye

Lightening strikes thunder roars

An early winter in that heart of yours

But you swear you won’t let them see you cry

Cos all you want is Daddy’s arms

Your friends come and have their say

You scream at them to “Go away”

And run up to your room and lock the door

There you are in your Sunday’s best

They way you Daddy would have had you dressed

When you realise it doesn’t matter anymore.

Cos all you want is Daddy’s arms.

Round and round and round it goes

Season’s change the young girl grows

To understand it’s all part of some plan

You used to wonder what its all about

Now those are questions you can do without

You laugh them off and do the best you can

But all you want is Daddy’s arms.

Nowhere and Everywhere

She’s travelling the sidewalks for hours

Stopping as every moment of truth wanders past

As if shopping for religion or something harder

But there are no coins in her pocket

She is way too pretty for prime time New York

She gets the business every time she talks a walk

With her sharp smile and porno scenes

But they can’t ever touch her

She’s a disappearing queen

Because she’s nowhere and then everywhere

Everywhere and then nowhere

Nowhere and then everywhere at the same time

She’s shady as cheap sunglasses

But as perfect as this October Monday passes

To drag her into the ground with no sound all alone

She’s always in such a hurry but never too fast

Playing chicken with the delivery boys

And tag with the subways

Searching deep thoughts for proper company

She’s jumping in and outta crack

But she’s got everything that you lack

Though she is that unnoticed that

You would feel it when she leaves

We belong in gutters and glittery lobbies

We are all the street lamp flickering out

We live all surrounded by this world of doubt

She belongs… to absolutely nothing

Getting out of a car the other day

My heart fell out of my backpack and into a puddle

For a moment my chest was empty

But it felt okay

I just picked up the pieces and walked away

Because I’m nowhere and everywhere

Everywhere and Nowhere

Nowhere and everywhere at the same time…

You Got It All by Britney Spears

I was the game he would play
He brought the clouds to my day
Then like a ray of light
You came my way one night
Just one look and I knew
You would make everything clear
Make all the clouds disappear
Put all your fears to rest
Who do I love the best
Don't you know
Don't you know

You've got it all over him
You got me over him
Honey it's true
There's just you
You must have been heaven sent
Hearing me call
You were out on a limb

And you're all that he's not
Just look what I've got
'Cause you've got it all
Over him
All over
You've got it all over
All over
You've got it all over

Now, don't let him worry you so
Once I met you
I let go
Oh you can surely see
You're so much more to me

Just one look and I knew
You would make everything clear
Make all the clouds disappear
You're better than all the rest
Who do I love the best (yeah...)
Don't you know
Don't you know

You've got it all over him
You got me over him
Honey it's true (so true)
There's just you
You must have been heaven sent
Hearing me call
You went out on a limb

And you're all that he's not (all that he's not)
Just look what I've got (look what I've got)
'Cause you've got it all (you've got it all)
All over him

You've got it all over him
You got me over him
Honey it's true (so true)
There's just you
You must have been heaven sent
Hearing me call
You went out on a limb (out on a limb

And you're all that he's not (all that he's not)
Just look what I've got (look what I've got)
'Cause you've got it all (you've got it all)
Over him
