“Raindrops and Tears”
completed on 6.9.12

not sure how this will trickle out
if you will soak it up
or wish these words would just evaporate

so i’ll let it all pour out
and hope you absorb my thoughts
rather than leave them to dry up

the things i have to say
i hope they make it rain
but only as a sun shower
’cause i can’t stand to be
the cause of black clouds hanging over you

what i have to do will cause some tears
but the only thing i’ll ever want
is for them to make us blossom and grow

even though i have to go
i’ll never let you drown
i’ll be the currents pushing the storms away
and the life raft always keeping you afloat

“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

“Self-Portrait”
revised on 4.11.12

i hate to let you down
but this time it has to be
time to do what’s best for me
i hate to break your heart
but my life needs to include the art
alive deep inside of me

i need to just be me
not what you want to see
i hide behind this ink
and you don’t see me when i wink
i need to burn bright
love with all my might

i push myself to grow
they may never know
i may have nothing to show
but when i see their tears
it stings for what feels like years
but i’ll sacrifice my life
to save others from their strife

i don’t expect anyone to get me
i care more about saving a life
than finding my future wife
for now i’ll just dream of you in my life
i have to start a spark
to be a light to make this world less dark

“Heart on Paper”
written on 2.11.12

i put my heart on paper
wear it on my sleeve
share it with you
for all the world to see

isn’t it ironic
how strangers can get to know me
know my deepest secrets and feelings
better than those i see every day

the older i get
the more i yearn for intimacy
not superficial conversations
but the ones that keep your mind up all night

i spend a lot of time wondering
why people waste their breath on small talk
instead of bearing their soul

my mom always warned me to take it slow
but life is short
so i seek what’s beneath
true beauty is always underneath
i want to see your soul

“Swim”
completed on 2.11.12

all my life
i only had to swim downstream
the rain showered me in love
and storms always passed over me

but then a hurricane
threw me into stormy seas
felt like i was drowning
life’s sadness washing over me

this time i have to swim my way out
even though i’m choking
and gasping for air
i won’t stop kicking ’til i reach the shore

no one may notice
and i don’t really care
this time i have to fight for a better life
smile until they can’t help but stare
’cause we all need love as much as we need air

“Left You”
written on 1.31.12

what if i never left you
what if i never walked away
we both say it happened for a reason
but what if we say we’re happy
’cause that’s just what you say

what if i would have said this
would it have changed that
if i held you that time
instead of holding my pride
maybe you would still be mine

i’ll pretend that i’m ok
that my life was supposed to be this way
but when i look back
i can’t help but think that
things will never be the same

i hope i never stop your dreaming
that i never got in your way
i hope you always find the rainbow
even without me being your light

“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
