MISS ME

You've taken everything
You wanted everything I couldn't ever give you
How I yearn to make it up to you
"It just doesn't make sense to live in a pretence"
Is what you then asserted
Maybe true yet undeserved and cruel

How I long to hold and kiss you
There's no question that I miss you
Please tell me that you have missed me too

You wanted to break up
You wanted independence from the stranglehold
Relationships will always put you through
You needed breathing space
You needed time away to find out what you wanted
To discover who you really were

In my dreams we are together so close forever
In reality I'll find there's nothing left to say

How I long to hold and kiss you
There's no question that I miss you
Please tell me that you have missed me too

ALL I HAVE

This could be the start
Or it may not begin
Depending what you want
I don't know how you feel

I've heard this once before
That love will come again
But I don't know how long
I'm prepared to wait

This is straight from my heart
I'd give you all I have

Could I be the one
That you'll be counting on?
I'm hoping that I will
A dream to be fulfilled

This is straight from my heart
I'll give you all I have

NO GUARANTEE

Stars in the sky can't tell what'll happen to you and
I can't guarantee we'll stay the same
No one can read our minds to tell us what the future brings
So I can't guarantee we'll still be friends

But I won't turn away
I won't hide away
I'll always be true if you're needing someone
So if you need a friend when it feels like the end
Just hold out your hand and I'll come running back

Tarot cards won't show where the road ahead will go
So I shan't guarantee we'll still be here
Clairvoyants, they're just fake
Believing them is a mistake
So I can't guarantee you'll find true love

But I won't turn away
I won't hide away
I'll always be true if you're needing someone
So if you need a friend when it feels like the end
Just hold out your hand and I'll come running back

THERE IS NO ONE

I cannot remember when I last had anyone to hold on to
But years pass I regret them
Because I spent time only thinking only about you

There is no one

To this day I do battle when I answer stupid questions for the truth
And I can't say any clearer
That I don't have to have an answer or the proof

There is no one

Sometimes I feel better because at last
I've cast away the chains from you
But at the back of my mind there's a part of me
That's still in love with you

There is no one

WITH GOD ON THEIR SIDE

They're all dressed in finery, so fine
Preaching peace and unity, don't fight

But if you're poor and need a home
Don't ask the Vatican for a loan
Because they'll be sure to turn you down

Myrrh and Frankincense and Gold, go far
Taxing fear in times of old, count coins

If you're frail and insecure
Get a priest to reassure
There's a better life than this one

If you're hungry or you're cold
Ask a church to keep you warm
They won't let you stay inside

With God on their side
And wealth on their minds


SOME DAY

I will survive
Some day your name will not exist
I will survive
One day you're name won't pass my lips

I once embraced every word you said
But now our friendship's dead

Don't tell me now
You think that you might change your mind
Because I must state
Forgiveness is the hardest thing to find

And anyway it's far too late
It's time to make the break


CHANGE

Seems I left my heart out in the snow
Because now I don't know where to go
It's been so long it needs defrosting
I don't want to be out in the cold

I've felt so helpless and I've been so sad
The years I spent with you were the best I ever had
Now they're gone I'm blue

A good friend talked to me and he once said
That "nothing ventured's nothing lost"
Well I adopted that philosophy
And only found out to my cost

I could have been misled but I've certainly missed out
And I've definitely misunderstood what life is all about
I want to change

In my mind I must be sure where I want to be
In my heart I must be true to you, you see

Some are always unlucky in love
But they keep coming back for more
While others treat it as if it were a sport
And you can bet they're keeping score

But I want someone special and I'm not giving up
'Though I will not compromise for the easy way out
I want to change
