My Lovely Light

I'll throw all these words together just so you remember
Everything I've had to say
It's probably getting old 'cuz all these things I've told you already
I miss you everyday but if that's the price I pay to have you I'll gladly accept those terms
I swear I'll find a way to make sure that you stay
I'll be the person you deserve
I'll be the person you deserve
You have to know, wherever you go, I will follow
You have to see how every word impacts me
I hope someday we can say "I love you"
And on a dark night, you are my sunshine
My lovely light
I could write a million songs about you and never run out of things to say
I'm not doing this just to impress you
This isn't some sick game I play
I hope you realize how perfect you are in my eyes
No, I'm not blind
I'm seeing clear for the first time, this time I hope that you're mine
I hope that you're mine
You have to know, wherever you go, I will follow
You have to see how every word impacts me
I hope someday we can say "I love you"
And on a dark night, you are my sunshine
My lovely light
I can't resist, I must admit I'm all about this
Let's be clear, I'll always be here until you ask me to go
I hope you know how beautiful you are to me
And I don't know what the future holds
We'll just have to wait and see
And I don't know what the future holds
we'll just have to wait and see
You have to know, wherever you go, I will follow
You have to see how every word impacts me
I hope someday we can say "I love you"
And on a dark night, you are my sunshine
My lovely light
I can't resist, I must admit I'm all about this
Let's be clear, I'll always be here until you ask me to go
I hope you know how beautiful you are to me
And I don't know what the future holds
We'll just have to wait and see
And I don't know what the future holds
We'll just have to wait and see

To Fade In The Rearview

Tell me where to go because I am so lost
I'm staring down the streetlights, freezing in the frost
This cold couldn't come soon enough; It matches my heart
Cool to the core, Its beat won't start
I must've told you at least a million times
Everything would be ok, that eventually I'd be fine
Well I look up to the stars now
And wonder where you are now
'Cuz wondering's all I can do
Let's recollect all the things you said right before you left everything to fade in your rearview
You said that there was nothing left, no, nothing here to keep you
So I guess I'll just fade into your rearview
Take me back home, I need some rest
'Cuz I can't forget how you said this was for the best
The snow is falling down, I can't feel a thing
The sights, the bright lights
Without you mean nothing to me
I must've told myself a million times that I was gonna be ok but deep down I knew I lied
Well I look out to the distance and wonder if you miss this
'Cuz I seem to miss it everyday
Let's recollect all the things you said right before you left everything to fade in your rearview
You said that there was nothing left, no, nothing here to keep you
So I guess I'll just fade into your rearview
Let's recollect all the things you said right before you left everything to fade in your rearview
You said that there was nothing left, no, nothing here to keep you
So I guess I'll just fade into your rearview
Into your rearview
Into your rearview

Happy

It's crazy to think back just a few months ago
I felt so low, swimming in the shallow
I know that life goes by fast but my head was stuck in my past
And no one asked me what my problem was
I didn't know myself at all
My confidence was two foot tall
Relied on myself 'cuz there was no one else to call
And then things changed one October day
I didn't look at life the same way
I know I come off kind of crazy
I got to know you, you got to know me
You were everything I hoped you would be
But it was way too early for me to see
I bit my tongue and said so long and watched you pull away from the driveway
That was all I could say
And I'll be honest with you
So get ready for the truth
I've never been as happy as I am with you
I know for you things have been way too hard
If these lyrics freak you out then please disregard everything that I've said
I don't want to mess with your head or make things more complicated
But I will say that Saturday, that night just blew me away
I was glad that you stayed
We danced and laughed
Surprised no one asked why we were acting so foolish
I don't normally do this
And now my head is on the fence because that was such a great experience
And yes I'm serious
And I'll be honest with you
So get ready for the truth
I've never been as happy as I am with you
And I don't want you to hate me
But I know this part is true
Well I'm afraid that someday I'll be like the others and disappoint you
And I'll be honest with you
So get ready for the truth
I've never been as happy as I am with you
And I don't want you to hate me
But I know this part is true
Well I'm afraid that someday I'll be like the others and disappoint you

Well I'm not the type to say exactly what's on my mind
But you're going far away, So I guess this time I'll try
And I know that we just started talking but I must let you know before you go
And I know that it seems crazy, but I think you could be the one
And I know that I seem crazy, well if I'm scaring you please feel free to run
Well I'm trying not to come off so strong
Are these feelings ok or are they wrong?
If I could change the way I feel don't think that I would
'Cuz from the moment that I met you I never felt so good
And I know that we just started talking but I must let you know before you go
And I know that it seems crazy, but I think you could be the one
And I know that I seem crazy, well if I'm scaring you please feel free to run
Well I'd do anything I could to make you stay, to make you stay
It's like my heart's alive for the first time
But when you leave for Colorado Springs it'll decay
So I'm begging you please don't go
And I'm begging you please don't go
And I'm begging you please don't go
But no matter how much I beg, I know
Well I know
God I know
God I know
Oh I know
No matter how much I beg you're gonna go

It started in an over-sized garage in a parking lot
That was where I met you, that was the spot
I introduced myself and asked you who you were
You told me your name and that was when I heard
My heartbeat in my head for the first time
I could not get you out of there, you were stuck in mine
And as I got to know you more I loved what I heard
And as I gazed at you my head would not stop repeating these words
You are the most beautiful person I've ever seen
You are the most beautiful person I've ever seen
I could try and deny these feelings
But every day it's my heart you're stealing
You are the most beautiful person I've ever seen
After that we would talk casually
I'd ask you how your day was, you'd say it was lovely
I'd watch you walk down that hill
Wish I could have said
everything I'd been thinking about inside of my head
I would have said I love you but i know it's too soon
Well if you would have asked I would have rearranged the stars and the moon
But I never got my act together
Well if you ever hear this song I hope that you remember
You are the most beautiful person I've ever seen
You are the most beautiful person I've ever seen
I could try and deny these feelings
But every day it's my heart you're stealing
You are the most beautiful person I've ever seen
Well I've tried to say it to you oh so many times
But every single time I do those words don't sound like mine
Well I'll try and be bold so here's the deal
I know you haven't been told but this is how I feel
You are the most beautiful person I've ever seen
You are the most beautiful person I've ever seen
I could try and deny these feelings
But every day it's my heart you're stealing
You are the most beautiful person I've ever seen
You are the most beautiful person I've ever seen
You are the most beautiful person I've ever seen
I could try and deny these feelings
But every day it's my heart you're stealing
You are the most beautiful person I've ever seen

Whoever said life was a gift never received mine
I'm sick of pretending I'm fine
'Cuz I know I'm not, If I was I wouldn't be having these thoughts
Oh no
I have the gun ready, laying on my bed
Where my old lover would lay her head
Back when she loved me
Now I'm just lonely
I am nothing
Well it's not just about her or other peoples' hurtful words
Life is just one lesson I could never learn
I trip over my feet and look down at my street one last time
Yeah that's just what I need
Another sad memory
This run down place just ain't what it used to be
I can't remember the last time I was happy
Maybe life ending won't be that depressing
I bet it beats the hell out of living in a world so ungiving
In a place so uncaring
It's been ten years since I saw her, my beautiful daughter
She said:
"You never loved me! You never watched me dance! You had eighteen years, you had your fucking chance!"
"Darling I'm so sorry. Daddy was so busy. These excuses are pointless, I know you can't forgive me..."
"Don't expect pity! You aren't worth it to me! Goodbye and good luck father, have fun being lonely."
That was the last thing she told me
Darling, I still love you and I hope you're happy
I close the blinds
Think back on my life
Realize that I never did anything right
It's in my hand now
Oh God it's real now
Well I know somehow death will give me some form of relief
No I can't sleep knowing I was never what I could be
Maybe that's just the way that it should be
Back when I was a child the routines were always mild
Bruises and memories I'd forgotten about for awhile
But I still have my scars
They remind me of what we all are
Just bones and flesh that mesh with the earth and that's how it all ends
At least that's what I'm told
To live an honest life and die old
But I guess the idea of a happy life is completely oversold
There's nothing left for me to show
No one here to tell me no
No one to say "If you go then I swear I'll also go"
But I really don't need that
It's just another burden I'd have left
In these next few moments I'll perform my final theft
I wonder how people will speak
Maybe they'll say he was just too weak
Or he was bothersome like a sink with an unfixable leak
Will anyone miss me?
Will the lovers that kissed me recall any of the good times that we had at all?
Will anyone be at my funeral?
Will they even find my body at all?
Because in this apartment no one comes over or calls
And God if you're listening could you forgive me for what I'm doing?
I know death is not a choice but this is what I'm choosing
It's now facing my temple
I thought it'd be a lot more simple
But now I'm crying and trying to think of reasons to stay
No I already made up my mind
I can't back out, I know it's time
I've got my finger on the trigger
Assuring myself everything will turn out fine
Now it'll finally be done
I refuse to run
Slowly I count backwards
