Why does it hurt to learn
The most important lessons in life?
How come in Experience,
The teacher gives the test first?

How come when I look through the dictionary
I can't find what it means to love
Why isn't there a teacher
For the geography of the soul

No one likes to feel lonely
No one wants to be cold
Then why am I still here?
In the cold of a warm summer night

No one has any patience
None left here anymore
Then what am I waiting for?
You've already closed your door

I don't like to feel lonely
I hate being cold
Then why am I still here?
In the cold of a warm summer night

No one wants to be stupid
But to know everything is to be scared
For all I know I'm just a ghost
And I don't know enough about you

i wish i had more friends, ones who really cared
someone to hold me when i'm pretty scared

this is the last night of my past
this is the last night
to remember all i've done

sitting in my room i feel so alone
remembering all the good times we spent here
wish i could have one more night
maybe i could make everything all right
at least i'd have one more time
to sit on the roof
and look up to see
all the stars
watching over me
telling me it's all okay

this is the last night
this is the last night
wish i had one more
to make everything alright

I wish I could tell you everyday, I love you
But I can't
I wish I could tell you everyday, I need you
But I can't
I wish I could make you understand my feelings
But I can't
I wish I could make you trust me
But I can't
I wish I could kiss you
But I can't
I wish I could marry you
But I can't
I wish I could make you love me
But I can't
I wish I could let you be
So I will.

i wish there was a way
to let you know i'll never forget you
just thinking about today
has made me realize
you'll never believe me
always thinking you'll love me more
can't i love you just the same?
i know all the pain
i've put you through
has made you think a different way
but i never wanted harm
to come to you
because it came to me too
so i'm sorry that i've hurt you
can i ever be forgiven
if not today?
will i ever have your trust again?
i can't live without knowing
if you are still my best friend

I want to stand in the rain

to feel the water run down my back

to wash away the fear and pain

to find peace which i did lack

if i could see the fair drops run

down your sweet soft lips

your eyes aglow like the setting sun

as the window to your soul unzips

to kiss you under the water fall

our hearts as one to bind

to know our love will never stall

sweet serenity may we find

underneath the rain so true

in all our days none to feel blue

i know a girl...

who thinks of you every night

your kiss she dreams of

and wants to hold you tight

she longs for your touch

with you it's all right

for she loves you so much

...it's me.

INTRO-whispered

...cutting through the pain...

...to make it go away...

 

verse one

For once in her life

why can't everything be right?

She knows it's too rash

to think this way

For once in her life

can she not think like this?

 

chorus

A simple slice

thats all it takes

To take the pain away

Her tears are dried

Her head is calm

And the blood seeps through her skin

Reminding her of every sin

 

verse two

For once in her life

everything feels right

She knows it's quite wrong

to feel this way

For once in her life

The trouble will sleep

to wake another day

 

chorus

whispered: ...reminding her of every sin...

 

**this song is one of my favorites since it dons the line "the blood seeps through her skin, reminding her of every sin". i wrote the line a long time before writing the song, and it fit perfectly with the theme.

i looked in your eyes today

all the pain went away

the world stopped spinning

the lights quit dimming

and i

wanna spend the rest of my life

in this place inside your eye

where everything's perfect

you're perfect

 

a beautiful sunset

on a quiet beach

your hands

are safely in reach

take me to

the place in your eye

together we'll take off

and fly

 

when i look at you
