Come Over (Take My Hand)

Leafing through my pad I found this, I'd forgotten to type it up. Better late than never!

Come Over (Take My Hand)

Come over, take my hand,
We'll take a walk through the sand,
You'll whisper to me;

"Will you leave me if I say,
I didn't really want to stay,
But now I do?",

I'll stop and look towards the sea,
And say there's nowhere I can be,
But by your side,

The night will vanish like the wind,
We'll see our lives that have spinned,
Beyond control,

When the sun hits the sky,
We'll question why we try,
To keep ahead,

Well I guess I was never kind,
That my love for you was blind,
Until I lost you,

Now I see with clarity,
What a fool I must have been,
To let you leave,

Come over, take my hand,
We'll take a walk through the sand,
You'll lean in and kiss me.

Sorry

Cheerful, eh?

Sorry

I know you don’t want to see me,
I know that I’ve been too unkind,
But if you’ll only listen to what I have to say,
I think that you’ll change your mind,

I’ve been thinking things over again,
I’ve been told to move on in my life,
But these feelings refuse to leave me,
My mind is on the edge of a knife,

I realise we’ve never seen eye to eye,
And that we rarely ever agree,
But if I can’t change to what they’ve wanted,
Then I guess I’ll stick to being me,

Now things aren’t exactly perfect,
God only knows why I try,
When it’s obvious to everyone it’s pointless,
I can’t help but let out a sigh,

I never had the balls to let love grow,
My heart though is always true,
So let’s get together and talk about this,
And hope that my message gets through,

In the beginning I thought I had a chance,
Oh what a fool I’ve been,
If only my feelings made sense to me,
If only they could have seen,

Well this is me saying sorry,
For wasting all of your time,
So if I can’t be a part of your life,
Maybe I should take mine.

Love Wrought Pain (Brought In Vain)

Another song I look back on and don't criticise too much, was pretty happy with it when I wrote it and I got some positive reviews from friends when I put it up on Facebook.

Love Wrought Pain (Brought In Vain)

Love, hurt, pain and sorrow,
Envy, schizophrenia, feelings borrowed,
One girl, one kiss, to set this feud,
Between heart and head, emotions chewed,

My insides spat out,
My mind is frazzled,
If emotions were theatre,
My act would've dazzled,

But I sit alone reminiscing on past events,
When on pen and paper my feelings went,
I can't get to sleep with my eyes teary,
I can't shut my eyes with my vision bleary,

There's nothing can be done but sit and wallow,
In my self pity with my insides hollow,
Dug up is the grave of love got over,
The ashes ignite and begin to smoulder,

I tell myself countless times,
That love is a bell and feelings its chimes,
It can seem like sweet melancholy,
But underneath hides its folly,

I am torn with grief and visibly distraught,
Because love is an emotion where pain is wrought,
If by some miracle storm would turn to blue,
I could see a bright future for me and you.

Speak Your Mind

Quite often with my songs I'll like them when I've just written them, slap 'em on Facebook and then end up thinking they're awful but this one I still like.

Speak Your Mind 8/7/10

Speak your mind, dear,
It’s all you’ve got left,
Awaken the fear that I’ve kept from your theft,
Speak your mind, dear,
‘Cause I’ll soon speak mine,
Pick up the courage that I’ve left behind,

So feeble is the will of those you call friends,
That they’ll leave you as soon as this façade ends,
They can’t hear the voices inside of your head,
And they can’t understand why you cry in your bed,

But I see you look on with plaintive forlorn,
At the new emotions I see you have born,
You wish the threat of shame would be rid,
But the route to your heart you keep a tight lid,

Speak your mind, dear,
It’s all you’ve got left,
Awaken the fear that I’ve kept from your theft,
Speak your mind, dear,
‘Cause it’ll soon be mine,
Pick up the courage that I’ve left behind,

You had a taste of freedom but that’s all it will be,
You’re trapped you know, and in time you will see,
That love is a bond that isn’t easily broken,
These are the truths you’ll finally choke on,

Speak, your mind,
In time, you’ll be mine,
Speak, your mind,
And then, you see, you’ll be fine.

Sinful Coward (Prone To Lose)

Wrote this one ages ago, there'll be a load of songs coming up that I've put on Facebook but not here!

Sinful Coward (Prone to Lose)

I wish you could understand,
How it feels to love another,
Not your sister or your brother,
Your father or your mother,
But a girl who’s really funny,
Make the room feel all sunny,
And to know you’ll never get her,
But yet you just can’t forget her,
When, under so much pressure,
You realise that there’s beauty in the skies,
Fuck it, there’s beauty in your eyes,
And I ain’t sayin’ that to be corny,
Nor am I say it ‘cause I’m horny,
It’s a sin to practice lust,
But it ain’t like me to trust,
Any other than who I love,
Because lately I feel above,
But it won’t last, I know,
And I’ll be back, depressive state,
A form I can’t help hate,

Can’t stay but I can’t leave,
I love you but I can’t believe,
Nothing for this now, I,
Head in hands I’ll cry,

I want to scream out,
Tell you why I’m about,
But that means all hell,
And… Well, I want you to be happy,
And if that means sacrificing me,
Let it be, ‘cause I know it can’t be,
Won’t let myself release my pain,
If I do there’s nought to gain,
Love’s warm like summer rain,
But I can’t show my pain,
‘Cause no one understands it,
Though they’ll happily criticise it,
So I think I’ll just deny it,

I guess I’m just bad news,
I guess I’m prone to lose,
All that try to get near,
‘Cause they won’t see my fear,
I spoil it all, I let them down,
I did all this, I let them drown,
I make everyone hurt,
I don’t mean to,
While they give me love, I
give them dirt,
There’s blood on my top,
Can’t get that stain loose,
They’ll get me and chop,
Through my lies and neck in noose,
I’ll confess all to be said,
I’ll be the sinful coward,
Drenched in red,
Worst is I deserve it,
That I’ll readily admit,
So I guess I’m for it,
That I won’t admit.
