SORRY TO A FRIEND

Sittin' on the edge looking for songs in a bottle
Talking with strangers who don't know my pain
Blurry eyed and burned out
Choking on more than I can swallow
Crack in a little voice called out my name
She said - Whatever happened to you
It's been two years where have you been
And I guess all my fears were true
The words were all gone the time's been too long
But I deserve to know what happened to my friend
Staring in her face I see a past that still haunts me
The road where we split up is paved with the things I didn't say
We had wonderful times, but terrible timing
Now just leave her alone, I'll just be in the way
She said - Whatever happened to you
You took the coward's way out again
And I guess all my fears were true
The words are all gone, the time's been too long
But it's not too late to say I'm sorry to a friend
Like a stone in a stream life smoothes all our edges
'Til we barely make a ripple any more
But those times in my life will live with me forever
But we're not the same people that we were before
And I'm sorry for the smiles we missed
and the times that I blew it
I've got so much to tell you
I don't know where to start
Maybe I'll find a way maybe you'll help me do it
'Cause friends like us should not be apart

And I'm sorry to a friend
(Edwin McCain)
when you say my name
my walls fall
to reveal the naivete
of a foolish child
in love with a memory

I've Learned...

...not to be afraid of what my heart says.

...that you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life

...that just because 2 people argue doesn't mean they don't love each other;
   and just because they don't argue, doesn't mean they do.


...that you can see a person's heart by looking into their eyes.


...that life is not measured by the number of breaths we take,
   but by the moments that take our breath away.


...that just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to
   doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.

...that you should live from your heart and always respect your soul.


...that our backgrounds and circumstances may have influenced who we are,
   but we are responsible for who we become.


...that you should choose your life's mate carefully. From this one decision
   will come 90% of your happiness or misery.


...that people will forget what you said ... people will forget
   what you did ... but people will never forget how you made them feel.

Are you the one
Do you believe if I crumble
you can put me back together
Is this the time and place that we might begin
what might be forever
Up until now it was a question of how
and no deeper
It's the who and the why
and the reasons I just can't remember
Zac Maloy
'When you're lost and you're alone
and you can't get back again
I will find you and I'll bring you home
and if you want to cry
I am here to dry your eyes
in no time you'll be fine
I'll tell you you're right when you're wrong
if only you could see into me
when you're cold I'll be there
hold you tight to me
when you're alone
I'll be there by your side'
(Sade)
Weight, by definition is a heavy thing.
This heavy weight is killing me.
I know you're sad because you tell me so.
You wanna leave him but you don't know how.
Just know I love you and I'm waiting here for you.
                    I don't wanna be your back door.
                    I don't wanna be your easy way out.
                    I don't wanna be, so I'll go.
                                        Wait, by definition, quietly remain.
                                        I can't wait, it's killing me.
                                        I know you're sad because you tell me so.
                                        You wanna leave him but you don't know how.
                                        Just know I love you and I'm waiting here for you.                                                           
                                                            I don't wanna be your back door.
                                                            I don't wanna be your easy way out.
                                                            I don't wanna be, so I'll go.
                                                                      I only wanna be your everything.
                                                                      I only wanna be your anything goes.
                                                                      but I will never be so I'll go.
                                                                                          I'll bet you didn't know that I dream.
                                                                                          I'll bet you didn't know that I speak for myself.
                                                                                          I'll bet you didn't notice me

"ALONE IS A REMINDER OF HOW FAR ACCEPTANCE IS FROM UNDERSTANDING"
when I took you to the place
                              where no one else had been
      why did you see the footprints
                                         of someone else

when i showed you the pain
                              how could you believe
                                                          that it was inflicted by another
            when you were the only one
                                                       ever allowed inside
 
will you take the blame
                              for the emptiness
                                                  beneath these wounds
...or was it me
                              ...my actions
                                                            ...my inactions

   ...or my inability to take you there
                                                until there were wounds to show
                                                                                     that has left me here alone

if you want to leave, just go
and never mind my broken heart
if you want to take the things that you gave to me,
like the diamond ring, the dvd's and the stereo,
well, here is something you should know:
you can't take the happiness that you gave to me,
and the strength that I could love again
you gave me the strength to love again
if you want to take those things that you gave to me
you have to leave the memories
because the memories remain...

"Memories Remain" - Mark Hebert
"The
    hardest
          thing
                to do
   is watch
            the one
                   you love,
            love
                  somebody
                               else."
'I knew that this moment would come in time
That I'd have to let go and watch you fly
I know you're coming back
So why am I dying inside
Are you searching for words that you can't find
Trying to hide your emotions
Eyes don't lie
There's just no easy way to say good bye'
(Standing at the Edge of the Earth-B.U.o.S)
"Faith is believing in things when common sense tells you not to"
'I'm not your beginning
I didn't know you then
Far from your beginning
I'm just the end
I'm the vision to your blindness
I will be here when they're gone
Just close your eyes to see me
I'm the silence after the song'
Last Song/The Nixons
"Your willingness to
wrestle with your demons
will cause your angels to sing."

'There is a place for you out there
I know that you will find your way
Leave your fears in yesterday
Give all your sadness away'
Zac Molay
"Don't frown. You never know who is falling in love with your smile"
Some days missing you is overwhelming
when it hits me that you're not coming back
and in my darkest hours I have wondered
was it worth it for the time we had
My thoughts get kind of scattered, but one thing I know is true
I bless the day that I found you
The stars we put in place; the dreams we didn't waste
the sorrows we embraced
The world belonged to you and me
The oceans that we crossed; the innocence we lost
the hurting at the end
I'd go there again
because it was beautiful

(Jennifer Paige)

I still believe in feelings but sometimes I feel too much
I make believe you're close to me but it ain't close enough
Not nearly close enough
I can't take the distance; I can't take the miles
I can't take the time until the next time I see you smile
I can't take the distance and I'm not ashamed
That I can't take a breath without seeing your name
The Distance - Evan & Jaron
Saving grace for now,
know that someday I might seem worth while
Feeling closer now,
and the question becomes who not how
Holding my breath for now,
know that with you I might somehow breathe
Aching just to be beside you,
inside you, in every way
Aching just to be everything
and everywhere to you some way
Know that I'll be there...to catch you when you fall
Know that I'll be there...walk or crawl
Just know that I'll be there
I'll be there in body,be there in soul
When the night surrounds you
and you're feeling all alone
I'll be there beside you regardless of miles
Know that I'll see you only forever
Just know that I'll be there
The Nixons
In spite of herself she continued the story
She continued the wanting, the needing,
never quite receiving
Inside of her shell she kept her emotion
She could only imagine the feelings
But never quite reach them
And she lies as she leads you away
And she smiles as she fades away
Despite all her burns
she went straight to the fire
And the flame took the skin from the bone
And the bone from the heart and the soul
If I could find a way to relieve all the hurting
I'd take all of the joy from the sky
and put it back where it belongs
In spite of herself she continued the story
She continued the wanting, the needing,
never quite receiving
And she lies if she says she's okay
And she smiles as she fades away
And she lies as she fades
And she cries as she fades away
Zac Maloy - The Nixons
'Sometimes I feel my heart
fall to vague depths.
between words there are such spaces
that I can't help but feel my heart fall
between the pregnant pause
of all you will not say
and all I can not ask'
Jewel
We don't see things as they are,
we see them as we are.
Anais Nin


There are moments in life when you miss someone so much
that you want to pick them from your dreams and hug them.

Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go;
be what you want to be, because you have only one life
and one chance to do all the things you want to do.

May you have enough happiness to make you sweet,
enough trials to make you strong,
enough sorrow to keep you human,
enough hope to make you happy.

Happiness lives for those who cry, those who hurt,
those who have searched, and those who tried,
for only they can appreciate the importance
of people who have touched their lives.

Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss and ends with a tear.

The brightest future will always be based on a forgiven past.
You can't go on well in life
until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.

When you were born, you were crying
and everyone around you was smiling.
Live your life so that when you die,
you're the one who is smiling
and everyone around you is crying.
(authur unknown)
"Everything is okay in the end.
If it's not okay, then it's not the end."
"Everything I try to find
Is every love I'll never hold
and in your garden now
the weeds are choking seeds we've sown"
-Carl Bell
i can feel a break
a bruise from another day
it's hard to say just what i feel
it all seems broken now
when i'm stuck on the in between
staring at something out of reach
(A Bigger Mood-American Hi-Fi)
May I ask you for your name again?
Can we speak without this shame
just as friends?
What was so simple
has now become a book without an end.
Can I ask you for your name again?
Again and again...

'When you told me you loved me did you know it would take me the rest of my life
to get over the feeling of knowing a dream didn't turn out right'

(Jessica Simpson)
And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now

And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
Cause sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight

And I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
(Iris-GooGooDolls)
i'm seeing for a time i could never fill the empty space that you keep inside to be more alone
                                                                                                                            
    (Zac Maloy)
when we started it was years ago
we tried so hard to find our souls
and lose the innocence that won't let go
so we crossed the line and can't turn back
happy endings never last
'cause there's always more to stories never told
is this what i've been waiting for
a life for someone else
to polish all my faded dreams
and put them on the shelf
is this what i've been dreaming of
'cause i'm needing so much more
i'm just trying to get back where we were before
i've grown numb to some things
hunger for one thing
that takes me back to where it all began
i know we've grown apart
but every now and then
i just close my eyes and here we are again
(where we were before-b.u.o.s.)
won't you let me catch your fall
won't you let me lend a hand
those lonely eyes have seen it all
but love's too blind to understand

'cause you don't know what you have
till your everything is gone
you need someone to show you how to live again

you wouldn't know that i was there
'cause i have been there all the time
and if i had my way
i'd hold you in my arms
and leave this madness all behind

'cause you've got so much to give
but you throw it all away
and all you've got to show for who you are is pain

and i've got so much to give
if you'd only let me in
i'm gonna take the time to show you i'm a friend
you'll believe in love again
(i wanna be there-b.u.o.s.)
staring into the darkness
pleading with her gods for answers
to questions that weigh down her soul

In silence she listens, she waits
she sees her reflection in the stars
'Such a pretty face'
echoes through her mind
she knows it's not enough

over and over she asks
'do they always leave'

she's the one to help kill time
but when it's time to live
to love, to share their world
it's not her pretty face they see

will they always leave
where is the one who will see her
with his heart
and not be afraid to listen

})i({
Of all the things I've believed in
I just want to get it over with
Tears form behind my eyes
but I do not cry
Counting the days that pass me by

I've been searching deep down in my soul
Words that I'm hearing are starting to get old
It feels like I'm starting all over again
These last three years were just pretend
and I said

Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to

"You left me with goodbye and open arms
A cut so deep I don't deserve
You were always invincible in my eyes
The only thing against us now is time"
(the calling)
i remember you
do you remember me to?
seems like such a long, long time
since I held you near
and called you mine

i would give everything that I own
i'd give you my love
and this heart made of stone
the sun, the moon, the earth, the sky
and never even stop to wonder why

and I would do anything
i would give everything
to be you're everything

(Everything-Stereo Fuse)
Lamenting in solitude,
and wishing hopes had been promises...
Lonliness fails to fade away.
