Listen 2 Beth Sing

Crying like a baby and I don't know why,

This river of tears is flowin out of my blue eyes,

When will these memories cease,

Will I ever get a moment of peace?

Can't sleep cuz the nightmares,

Are overtaking me,

I never wanted this 2 be my identity,

But it seems like it will be...

It's engrained in me....

Scared 2 turn the lights out,

But the light's 2 bright,

Can't begin 2 describe the horrors,

I relived last night,

A frightened 10 year old boy,

Much 2 young 2 fight,

Closed closet doors,

Bad touches echo loud,

Feel like I am screaming in a quiet crowd,

But nobody hears me, 

Nobody notices me...

I just wanna be free,

I just wanna be whole,

I just wanna smile from the deepest parts,

Of my soul,

Don't wanna feel all alone,

Don't wanna feel by myself,

I want someone 2 care,

I just wanna see the night,

When I'm no longer scared,

2 close my eyes...

So I listen 2 Beth sing....

"Johnny ain't that bad, he just plays rough,

I ain't that scared when I'm covered up"

"I leave the light on... I leave the light on.."

"I ain't that bad I'm just fucked up,

I ain't that sad, I'm just.. Sad enough....

I wanna love, I wanna live.. I don't know much about it.. I never did"

(Beth Hart - Leave the Light On) 

Last Man on Earth

If I was the last man,

U were the last girl,

There was nobody else in this world,

Would u want me,

Would u love me,

Or would u rather be alone?

If there were no other voice,

On your telephone,

There was no other choice,

4 u 2 choose,

Would u call me, 

Would u love me,

Like u used 2?

If there were no other eyes,

No sun in the sky,

No stars 2 shine like crazy diamonds,

Would u look at me, 

Would u see me,

Would u love me,

Or would u still turn away,

I just wanted 2 be good enough,

I just wanted 2 feel,

I just wanted u 2 notice,

I just wanted u 2 focus on me 4 a change,

If there was no other 2 give ur heart 2,

Would u remember my name?

If I was the last man,

u were the last girl,

And there was no one left in this world,

Would u want me,

Would I be good enough then,

Or would u rather be alone....

Pass Up

Deep and powerful,

Made of the best stuff on earth,

Your kiss is like a Snapple,

Candy Apple lipgloss, 

Got my eyes going cross cross,

Tongue tastes like something magnificent,

I can't even describe, 

But if I go an hour without it, 

I might die,

I'm addicted to u in every way possible,

Whatever u need from me,

That's no obstacle,

I'm getting excited watching u & that Popsicle,

Sorry but it's true,

There's no way to not wanna do,

Those things with u,

All in good time tho,

I's just thinkin bout u,

And had 2 write a rhyme so,

This ain't one of them complex,

I just rhyme slow,

So u can understand every word,

That I've said so,

U know, that I know, that u know,

Exactly how I feel about u, 

You're numeral uno,

That's number one in Spanish, 

If u didn't guess,

Ask me for anything at all,

The answer's yes,

I mean how could I ever tell u "nah"

Looking into those eyes got me all like "bruh"

My friend's teasin me cuz they see me open,

Somewhere on cloud number 9 I'm floatin,

I'm just hopin this isn't a dream, don't wake me,

I'm willin to ride this out, 

Wherever it may take me,

I'm on a mission 2 your heart & I'm gassed up,

Cuz bein with u forever is somethin I just couldn't pass up,

...

Bein with u forever is somethin I just couldn't pass up..

Closed Fists & Angry Faces

I've tried 2,

See myself but I don't like mirrors,

I've tried 2 tell myself, 

I'm alright,

I've tried 2 calm myself from my fears, 

U should hear the things I lie,

Keep me away from;

Closed fists and angry faces,

Outside locking doors,

And dark places,

I can't take the mem'ries no more,

I don't know what all my fighting was for,

I'm heading closer 2 a breakdown for sure,

If there is a God.. And if he has Graces,

Keep me away from closed fists,

And angry faces,

A dull razor won't cut enough,

Goddamn ropes won't do the trick,

Just want someone 2 give a simple fuck,

And not remind me that I'm sick,

I cannot make it on my own,

Spent 2 much time locked away,

And on my own,trying 2 stay away from;

Closed fists and angry faces,

Outside locking doors,

And dark places,

I can't take the mem'ries no more,

I don't know what all my fighting was for,

I'm heading closer 2 a breakdown for sure,

If there is a God.. And if he has Graces,

Keep me away from closed fists,

And angry faces,

I've ended it all over again,

In my mind,

Who needs 40 winks,

When the nightmares come a thousand times,

I just want a single moment's peace,

Yeah

I just want a single moment's peace,

Where I'm not remembering;

Closed fists and angry faces,

Outside locking doors,

And dark places,

I can't take the mem'ries no more,

I don't know what all my fighting was for,

I'm heading closer 2 a breakdown for sure,

If there is a God.. And if he has Graces,

Keep me away from closed fists,

And angry faces,

Quiet all the violent words,

I need a whisper,

I need the silence like my next breath,

Oh, I could use someone 2 hold me,

I just need a moment's peace...

And the ability 2 release;

(The memory of)Closed fists and angry faces,

Outside locking doors,

And dark places,

I can't take the mem'ries no more,

I don't know what all my fighting was for,

I'm heading closer 2 a breakdown for sure,

If there is a God.. And if he has Graces,

Keep me away from closed fists,

And angry faces,

I'm beggin' for a moment's peace

The next tear drop

Would u stand close enough 2 me,

2 tell me what my eyes can see?

Would u tell me I am not alone? (And mean it)

Would u stand close enough 2 me,

2 look inside and be...the 1 2 stop,

the next tear drop... from falling..

When I'm down, would u reach 4 me,

When I'm on my feet again, will u stay?

When I can't form the words 2 say how I feel,

Would u know... Would u believe?

When I'm in the darkest dark I get into,

If I called ur name, would u come running 2,

Shine a light on me, help me see, my way out again,

When I'm 2 weak, would u be strong? 

Would u stand close enough 2 me,

2 tell me what my eyes can see?

Would u tell me I am not alone? (And mean it)

Would u stand close enough 2 me,

2 look inside and be...the 1 2 stop,

the next tear drop... from falling..

When I need u, oh I need u,

Will u be there? Or will u be here?

When I fear, like I sometimes fear, will u go?

Do u think I'm worth fighting for?

When the battle is against myself,

And I can't win this war.....

Would u stand close enough 2 me,

2 tell me what my eyes can see?

Would u tell me I am not alone? (And mean it)

Would u stand close enough 2 me,

2 look inside and be...the 1 2 stop,

the next tear drop... from falling..

If it's 2 much, then please, turn far away now,

No hard feelings, I completely understand,

But if u'll stay, please stay, please say...

U'll try..

Could u be,

The 1 2 stop,

The next tear drop,

From... Falling..

Untitled

I don't know if I can make all ur dreams come true,

But I can tell u what I won't do, 

I won't lie...

And I don't know if I could take u around the world,

But if it's what u wanted to do,

I would try...

U see, I might not be able 2 shower u,

With all the finer things,

Take u out 2 dinner more than once a week,

But I work hard and I can appreciate the most important things,

And I'll give u all of my attention,

All my heart and all my time...

What I'm tryin to say is not what u SHOULD do,

But I was just wondering if u were 2 fall in love,

COULD u.... Fall in love .. WOULD u fall in love,

With ... Me? 

Ya see I dream of holdin hands with u,

While I'm drivin, 

While we're walking down the street,

My arms around u while we're just watching movies,

And all my friends, I'm ready for u 2 meet,

I really wanna see u smilin back at me,

So 4 that I would do almost anything,

I won't 4get ur birthday or any of the important things,

And I'll give u all of my attention,

All of my heart and my time...

So I'm not sayin what u SHOULD do,

I'm just sayin if u WERE to.. U know.. Fall in love,

COULD u... Fall in love... WOULD u fall in love,

With me? 

Don't know if I can make all ur dreams come true,

But baby for u,

I.... Would... Try...

Then Came You

I got pretty good,

At cooking my own food,

Hanging out with myself,

Was part of my routine,

I was doing just fine.. 

Alone,

I could do what I want,

Go where I want to,

Watch what I want on the tv,

Yeah, it was part of my routine...

Then u came along,

Fixed everything I didn't know was wrong,

Now whenever u are gone,

I ..... Miss.... You........

Getting dressed up because ure coming over,

Having dinner by candlelight,

Holding hands and talking all night,

Waking up next to somebody,

Dreams coming true,

I never needed anybody,

Then... Came.. You...

Looking forward to Lifetime movies,

All weekend long,

Turning up the radio to hear,

U sing ur favorite song,

....and I love to see u dance.....

Buying flowers just because,

I know it will make u smile,

U make me better,

U make me wanna go that extra mile,

This wasn't part of the routine,

But once I looked into ur eyes,

I couldn't think of a better anything..

Than..

Getting dressed up because ure coming over,

Having dinner by candlelight,

Holding hands and talking all night,

Waking up next to somebody,

Dreams coming true,

I never needed anybody,

Then... Came.. You...

No longer lonely,

No longer thinking,

It was as good as it would be,

Now U got me....imagining,

The future ...

A forever made up of u and me...

Getting dressed up because ure coming over,

Having dinner by candlelight,

Holding hands and talking all night,

Waking up next to somebody,

Dreams coming true,

I never needed anybody,

Then... Came.. You...

I love waking up next to,

All my dreams come true,

I never needed anybody,

Then ........

Came .......

You ....
