“You vs. Me”
completed on 9.18.12

you say that you’re a hopeless romantic
that you and i are one in the same
but you don’t see love the way i see it
’cause you refuse to acknowledge the fallout

love is not for sport
love is not a game
pain is not something easily washed away
where a heart can forever fade away

there are a million stars at night
just like the odds of finding
the perfect person for your life
but you don’t care about searching for a wife

i used to be just like you
until i realized she’s the one who got away
now i spend every day hoping
love will come back my way

if i have learned anything from you
it’s that life doesn’t give you anything
you pray and then have to go get it
hoping you find a love that’s true

if i could go back
though you can never go back
you have to live with missed chances
and fight to find future romances

you don’t see the bigger picture
realize how empty life is without love
if there is one thing you can learn from me
it’s that love is this life’s master key

“My Song For You”
completed on 5.20.12

i see the beauty in your heart
you’re the rarest work of art
you always find a way
to give me a brighter day

all i ever wanted was to pen the lines
you use to sing yourself to sleep
the ones that keep you up all night
dreaming of a better life

when you’re sad
when you’re hurt
when you dance ’cause everything is right
when the fire inside you burns so bright

i want to be in the words you use
in the thoughts you form
helping you weather through the storm
protecting you from any bruise

i want to be your light
to make everything all right
to shield you from any pain
everything for your gain

i want to be in the ink you use
as you draw yourself a better life
one of the hands you use to boost yourself up
to be there for anything you choose

i want to be in the air you breathe
when life’s weight is crushing you
i want to be in the sunlight
guiding you out of the darkness tonight

all i ever wanted was to give you a better life
you would make the most amazing wife
’cause you always find a way
to give me a brighter day

“Left Behind”
written on 5.9.12

i see a couple on a bench
hands intertwined
while the only thing i hold
is fading memories that can’t shake the cold

i see them on the bench
warmth and laughter
close lips and starry eyes
their love lighting up the skies

i run towards that light
see something that would be so bright
but you’re always just out of reach
leaving me so empty underneath

i reach for your hand
to pull me from an icy current i can hardly stand
but you’re not there
at times it’s too much to bear

i see the moment come and go
each time i’m left behind
i watch you smile, feel your glow
but then am left buried in the snow

can’t i find the one that’s mine
the one who makes me shine
i want to burn bright with all my might
but i need your love to feel alright

“Find a Way”
completed on 4.26.12

you agree to see me
choose to go against the flow
and do something that’s unknown
to see where this could go

i would love to lead with my heart
but this isn’t the part
of my life where i get to worry
about finding my future wife

i’m running but there’s always a part of me
that feels so empty
hope there’s not a price to pay
for fighting for a better way

i love the things i show
that make you glow
i wish we had more time
being with you shouldn’t feel like a crime

i don’t want to grow old
to find myself in a world so cold
i will fight to make you mine
but you have to give me time
for our love to truly shine

please believe the things i say
don’t let everything we have fade away
one day we will have it all
making these struggles seem so small

“Couldn’t Say”
completed on 4.15.12

you’ll never know
i see you turn your head
but can’t say what’s on my mind
i feel your breeze as you walk past
and now you’re gone
and i lost my chance
you’ll always be a mystery
because i couldn’t bring myself to say

you’re beautiful
if you’re the same inside
then you’ll really blow my mind
so please be kind
and tell me everything on your mind

i know i’d be at my best
with your head upon my chest
i miss the rush of being in love
knowing i’m on your mind
not feeling left behind
we weren’t meant to be alone
but i always get stuck that way
because i couldn’t bring myself to say

you’re beautiful
if you’re the same inside
then you’ll really blow my mind
so please be kind
and let me join you by your side

“The Other Side”
written on 3.13.12

it was only one date
but no matter how things fall
thank you for showing all
that’s deep inside of me

it was just one date
but she showed me my fate
if i didn’t unveil the entire side of me
and now i know why i was always happier alone

i hide a part of me
but not the side you would expect
i smile, laugh, love openly
but that’s not all there is to see

for every romantic line
is a wild side
for every door i open
there’s what i am secretly hopin’

i want to be kind and true
but i want to intimately know all of you
i’ll hold you if you look over the ledge
then we can hold hands and jump over the edge

i want you to feel i’m your knight
but i’m not just black and white
i want life to be a wild ride
but i’ll keep you safe by my side

i want you to sing with all your might
to know that love is worth the fight
i don’t want things to ever become routine
’cause it spells the end with me

don’t worry what others say
we deserve to live life as we may
with passion and love every day
always dreaming of what will come our way

“Spotlight”
completed on 1.20.12

all the world’s a crowd
’cause you’re the only one i see
i know you shine so bright even without
the spotlights pointed at you on stage

don’t skip any of your songs
i want to hear every single line
to know all that’s on your mind
so i can understand your melody

please don’t let the curtain fall
i’ll do whatever it takes for an encore
anything to spend more time with you
’cause you’re the music that my heart beats to

everyone adores you
you have fans everywhere you go
they all scream for your attention
but i just want to make you feel loved
long after the spotlight fades

(chorus)
just sing me one more line
i swear i’ll sing it back to you every time
hoping you wrote it just for me
just sing me one more line
i’m praying it’s a sign
that your heart was meant for me

“Let You Go”
written on 1.16.12

you make me smile
make me shake
there is so much about you that is so great
but you don’t give as much as you take
so i think i have to let you go

when i call you just let it ring
have to admit that i feel the sting
when i want this more than you
i wear my heart on my sleeve
but i don’t think you truly believe

i’m strong on passion
full of love
it’s the only thing i’m sure of
sometimes i come on too strong
just didn’t know it could be wrong

if there’s one thing i’ve learned
love’s for giving but must be earned
i just wish you would have tried
before you made up your mind
to really look inside my heart to see what you’d find

i hope one day you find the right one
who makes you smile for the long run
maybe some day your heart will change
and lead you back to me
but for now i have to let it be

“For Jen”
written on 1.9.12

i wanted to sing you a love song
but knew my notes would be out of tune
wanted to paint you the sun
to warm your life like you have mine
but i can’t draw a straight line
so i’ll give you a gift
not sure what it’s worth
but i’m giving my heart for the last time

i don’t care how long it takes
you are worth the wait
because every movie and every trait
that made tears run down my cheek
that made my heart feel weak
i see inside of you

i’m not smooth
in fact you make me shake
’cause i can see so much love inside of you
and i’ve learned enough to know
you’re too good but it’s true

i don’t care how long it takes
you are worth the wait
because every movie and every trait
would make me hate
a life without you by my side
’cause you’re the only one i’d date

“At My Door”
written on 12.15.11

at my own front door
but it won’t open for me
’cause it’s locked
and it seems that you’re my key

i should know better by now
then to allow love to keep me out
but my heart won’t beat without
knowing if she’ll come about

i gave up on love long ago
strung along for far too long
decided to just let go
tired of settling for only so-so

but then your hazel eyes
and warm smile
made me feel butterflies
pictured us walking down the aisle

but then i blink
not sure that you care
guess i have to rethink
if this was just a one-sided love affair

at my own front door
not sure if it will unlock
i’ll be in shock
until i know if our hearts will interlock
