Hopelessly hopeless,

I've tried to work through this,

But I cannot accept these futile notions,

To continue to direct,

Our energy to this is a,

Threat to my conscious and enables your need,

Chorus:

You as why?

You held on to me like a possession,

And, every warning I gave,

You fought or left to the breeze,

And I,

I can't believe that you would feed on such an obsession,

Darling you must let this be,

Verse 2:

Instant satisfaction,

Defined most our actions,

What was right in the long run was simply abandoned,

And I tried to address this faced,

False words and fierce lips,

So I,

Ended what was bound to,

End up in flames,

Instrumental demo of a song I am hoping to record for an album

VERSE 1:

And I can't help you no more,

though you once were my only,

it's you who started this war,

and I won't go down easy,

you may have broken me down,

but I am not broken,

do you hear me,

all I can say to you now,

is I miss who you were to me,

CHORUS:

I witnessed the death of you,

I lost my soul,

my love,

my friend,

I didn't know how to care for you,

to heal that hole that never seemed to,

never seem to end,

no it never seemed to end,

but now it has to end

VERSE 2:

And I'm not the only one,

the only one who has lost you,

and you burned everything down,

lighting fires all around you,

you may have broken me down,

but I am not broken,

do you hear me,

all I can say to you now,

is I miss who you were to me,

Began writing this on a canoe trip in high school, finished it over the course of many years.

VERSE:

I'm standing right here,

by standing still I take the long way

these puddles of tears,

are not my own they have a history

I tell you child,

your not the only one to feel down,

so get up,

and work hard to spread the love around

CHORUS:

I tell you lately,

it seems like maybe,

is the only way to tell the time

it seems the mirror,

is getting clearer,

i can't deal with the chaos this time,

it's getting hard,

not to come to terms with all the knock around.

and it is hard sometimes,

you feel you're loosing your mind

just get up,

and don't be so upset

Verses:

it'd be nice to have a world where love is queen and kindness king but we ain't there yet

peace lingers in the dreams of those that see the hope but know that we ain't there yet

and don't you be the fool and deny the bitter truth that we ain't there yet

and don't you be the one to give up on the love you have because we ain't there yet

Choruses:

and don't you know

and don't you know

the world we roam

we do not roam alone

VERSE 1:

didn't want to talk about it,

so I just shut you out,

I never said goodbye,

didn't want to cry inside,

you had so many needs,

I couldn't care for me,

I never said farewell,

goodbye was worse than hell,

but now I know that I,

will always regret inside,

that I did let you go,

without even a note,

and though I love you so,

alone I walk my road,

I never said goodbye,

I regret that the most

CHORUS:

I always think about it,

every time I think about it,

I can see that all my fears were unfounded,

and if I had been older,

I might not have seen a boulder,

and I might have let my heart sing

VERSE 2:

just wanted to hide from it,

the pain was seeping out,

I never said goodbye,

didn't want to die inside,

you had so many needs,

I couldn't care for me,

I never said farewell,

goodbye was worse than hell,

and now I know that I,

will always regret inside,

that I did let you go,

without even a note,

and though I love you so,

alone I walk my road,

I never said goodbye,

I regret that the most
