Love is a Sham
Impossible love
They will only bring you hurt
Love is but a sham...

She's Gone
Finally she's gone,
Like an unbilical cord
When a child is born.
Scornfully she looked
at me;
Her eyes running down
from head to my feet,
Words she had wanted
to say
Seemed to die in her
own rage.
Finally I found words
and said:
Is your love really dead?
Yes, she turned and said:
And you should get out
of my head!
Ok, I've heard, very well,
I said;
And left without a fret,
To a pub nearby to
buy a beer.
One, two, three bottles
of beer
Would make me drunk,
In that liquor I had
myself sunk.
Then for home I left with
a song in my mouth.
As I sang, I staggered
and sang:
That I knew her love
had been a sham;
Lord please bring me a love
that will bring me no hurt.
For the love You give I
know is best of all.

Put That On Everything
If you're looking to find
A love that will stand till the end of time
Baby relax your mind my love is here
I'll do anything I swear
I'd take the pain and the hurt
You won't know it's there
Your wants would be nothing
I put that on everything
I will pull a star out of the sky for you
Yes I would
To the edge of the earth
I'll go to see you
Yes it's true
If you go anywhere
And I'm not there
Just think on thoughts of love
And I'll appear
Before I dream
I lay and think of you every night
Honest to god
I'm telling you the truth
I wish you could see
How much your presence means to me
You would love me so much
More each day
I'll walk for you
Through the desert heat
I'll climb the mountains highest peak
I'll swim forever in the deepest sea
Just for you this song I sing
For all the love and joy you bring
For you I'll try
To do the impossible things

Oh, My Love!
Would you wait me, love?
Oh love, would you look for me?
Love, could you cry for me?
Would you love me, love?
Oh love, could you love me?
Love, my love, how wrong could love be?
Do you feel, love, my love?
Could you deny me love?
Would you stop loving me?
Oh love, how can i love you?
How much hurt love can bare?
Would you bare if i hurt your love, my love?
How sick love has to be, to be hurt and still love?
Oh love! Why love?
Why do i love you, my love?
Who should i love, love?
You or me?

Am I Okay?
Can I be okay without her?
No, it is impossible to be
Is love painful?
Yes, love can be very painful, if a proper understanding lacks
Still, love always does remain
Since, the fire of love in me is still burning for her.
Maybe, she hates me
Although, my true love is so deep for her
Just wish, that she knew, how much I do love her
Real love always remains
However, it can hurt to love truly because loving is not easy
It is an effort, constant to be
Every day, with the same person, again and again.

Resignation, not mystic, not detached, but resignation open-eyed, conscious, and informed by love, is the only one of our feelings for which it is impossible to become a sham.

It's Impossible
It's impossible to tell the sun to leave the sky,
It's just impossible.
It's impossible to ask a baby not to cry,
It's just impossible.
Can I hold you closer to me
And not feel you going through me,
But the second that I never think of you?
Oh, how impossible.
Can the ocean keep from rushing to the shore?
It's just impossible.
If I had you could I ever ask for more?
It's just impossible.
And tomorrow, should you ask me for the world
Somehow I'd get it, I would sell my very soul
And not regret it for to live without your love
Is just impossible
Can the ocean keep from rushing to the shore?
It's just impossible.
If I had you could I ever ask for more?
It's just impossible.
And tomorrow, should you ask me for the world
Somehow I'd get it, I would sell my very soul
And not regret it for to live without your love
Is just impossible
Oh impossible,
Impossible.
Impossible.

Love Of My Life
Love of my life you've hurt me
You've broken my heart and now you leave me
Love of my life can't you see
Bring it back bring it back
Don't take it away from me
Because you don't know
What it means to me
Love of my life don't leave me
You've taken my love you now desert me
Love of my life can't you see
Bring it back bring it back
Don't take it away from me
Because you don't know
What it means to me
You will remember
When this is blown over
And everything's all by the way
When I grow older
I will be there at your side to remind you
How I still love you I still love you
Back hurry back
Please bring it back home to me
Because you don't know
What it means to me
Love of my life

Love Is Not What You Think It Is
It starts with a gentle feeling, then
It builds to a quiet yearning,
It might start to hurt, then,
You'll know all about the burning.
Feelings churning,
Mind exploding until you just,
You just drift in the warm glow,
Because now, now you know!
Love is...
Not what you think it is,
Love is...
A different colour every day,
Sometimes Love is...
A distant healing,
Sometimes Love is...
A detached feeling,
Love is...
Never wrong,
Love is...
The heart of a song,
Sometimes Love is...
The sound of a Dove,
Sometimes Love is...
More than you bargained for,
Sometimes Love...
Flies out an open door,
Love can...
Change you for evermore,
Love can...
Knock you to the floor,
Love can,
Bring you back for more,
We all have Love in our hearts,
The heart is the doorway to the soul, but,
The door is locked,
Love,
Love is the key that unlocks the door,
Love,
Love is the key to eternity,
Love,
Love is what will set us all free!
Love will...
Heal us all,
Love will...
Break down the walls,
Love Will...
Find you,
Love will...
Open our hearts,
Love will...
Hurt if you go too fast,
But Love will...
Always last.

Hurt
(words & music by j.crane - a. jacobs)
Im so hurt to think that you lied to me
Im hurt way down deep inside of me
You said our love was true
And well never, never part
Now youve got someone new
And it breaks my heart
Im hurt, much more than youll ever know
Yes darling, Im so hurt
Because I still love you so
Even though you hurt me
Like nobody else could ever do
I would never hurt, hurt you

Love of my life - you've hurt me
You've broken my heart and now you leave me
Love of my life can't you see
Bring it back, bring it back
Don't take it away from me, because you don't know -

Back - hurry back
Please bring it back home to me

Everlasting Love
Every now and then I get a little bit cold
And I need somebody to hold me
I look at you and your body of gold
And I think oh why did she hurt me
Yes I do, yes I do, yes I do, yes I do
Sometimes when Im out at night I think of your smile
And your long slim beautiful body
Person that I used to find youre my perfect girl
So come on babe why did you hurt me
Why did you, hurt me, why did you, hurt me
Cos when you need somebody til the day that you die
And the everlasting love ...... (? ? ? ? ? )
Lie if I could and tell you what I would do
cos I need somebody to hold me
Yes I do, yes I do, yes I do, yes I do
Every now and then I get a little bit cold
And I need somebody to hold me
I look at you and your body of gold
And I think oh why did you hurt me
Yes I do, yes I do, yes I do, yes I do
Cos when you need somebody til the day that you die
And the everlasting love ...... (? ? ? ? ? )
Lie if I could and tell you what I would do
cos I need somebody to hold me
Yes I do, yes I do, yes I do, yes I do
Yes I do, yes I do, yes I do, yes I do
Its e-v-e-r lasting love
Coming down on you from the heavens above
Let me bring it on down to you one time
I was meant to be yours you were meant to be mine
Im speaking the truth aint telling no lies
Its how I feel this aint no disguise
So come on baby be my girl
What Ive gots everlasting love
Cos when you need somebody til the day that you die
And the everlasting love ...... (? ? ? ? ? )
Lie if I could and tell you what I would do

Cos when you need somebody til the day that you die
And the everlasting love ...... (? ? ? ? ? )

That Wasnt Me
(gary harrison/tim mensy)
I know she mustve cut you deep
Shes gone but you wont let her leave
I know your heart has not healed yet
But sometimes I think that you forget
That wasnt me
That wasnt me
Im not the one
Who made love bring you to your knees
You cant love if you cant trust
Her memorys hurt you long enough
Let your heart see
That wasnt me
I can no longer pay the price
For damage done by her careless lies
We cant move on til you let go
I always thought by now youd know
That wasnt me
That wasnt me
Im not the one
Who made love bring you to your knees
You cant love if you cant trust
Her memorys hurt you long enough
Let your heart see
That wasnt me
You cant love if you cant trust
Her memorys hurt you long enough
Let your heart see
That wasnt me

Your Hurtin Kind Of Love

Wanted you to hold me tight
Take my love and treat me right
I needed your love so
But youre just the hurtin kind
Nearly drove me out of my mind
Your hurtin kinda love
Your hurtin kinda love, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Id never been blue
I never had to cry all day
Tryin to wash the hurt away
But then I fell for you
Giving you the love I had
Just to have you treat me so bad
Your hurtin kinda love
Your hurtin kinda love, oh, oh, oh, oh
It left me crying
So, now youre with another love
It just may be your lover
Could be the one to do what you have
Done to me, yeah

Even though you broke my heart
I can make a brand new start
Im so glad to see you go
You will bring me no more pain
I will never cry again
Your hurtin kinda love
Your hurtin kinda love, oh, oh

As Long As I Live
(Dolly Parton)
Hurt is no stranger to me
And oh how well I know misery
You've always hurt me
But I always forgive
And I'll hurt for as long as I love you
And I'll love you for as long as I live
Oh it's my fault for loving you so deeply
I'd give you my love completely
I'd give you love but hurt is all you give
And I hurt for as long as I love you
And I'll love you for as long as I live
For as long as I love you, there'll be pain
Though tears come and go
My love remains the same
I'll always forgive you
You know that I will
And I hurt for as long as I love you
And I'll love you for as long as I live
Yes I've hurt for as long as I loved you
And I'll love you for as long as I live

You cant find love trust me
You cant find love trust me, with a hookers head buried in your lap.
I cant be bought for five dollars, and viewed behind plexiglass.
impossible to achive, when she is easy.
You cant find love trust me, in three bags of chips in front of a tv.
hard to accomplish, when a shower is tabboo.
impossible when so called freinds, are anything but.
You cant find love trust me, when your all alone.
busted leg in three places for six months.
nobody calls, nobody comes, nobody cares.
You cant find love trust me, when left in the back seat of a burning car.
two up front gone, engine a flame.
they watch as you struggle with a stuck front seat
You cant find love trust me, when its vengence
seduced, captured, four kids
was not going to be her easy way out
You cant find love trust me, when you pass out
whole left side paralized, people laughing
shoulder shrug, call 911
You cant find love trust me, when you see your mom not doing dad
yelled at for coming home early
then probed about what you saw
You cant find love trust me, In the ninth at belmont
whole check just about gone, just got payed
skipped work to feel like a complete shit
You cant find love trust me, with no freinds
only puzzles, models, video games
some teen years, yea right real fun
You cant find love trust me, when you really love her
tell her so, but she does not love you back
that hurt, oh my god that really hurt.
You cant find love trust me, sleeping married life alone
snore so what, confined to other room, a deal breaker
Being single in a marriage you try it.
You cant find love trust me, when you dont love yourself
people help oh yes they do, but you got to love you
with out it?
YOU CANT FIND LOVE TRUST ME

One That Completes
Bring me that love,
My Dear Father.
Bring that love to me.
Bring me that love,
My Dear Father...
That love that is true as can be.
When I awaken from my sleep,
I'd like that love near by,
I want to share deep feelings and cares.
With one who will come,
To rescue this from inside me.
Like no one has ever done.
Bring me that love,
My Dear Father.
Bring that love to me.
Bring me the kind of love, My Dear Father
The kind that sets mine and other hearts free.
If You allow this to happen,
With Your blessings I'll receive.
I'll do the best to be better than I've been...
And not to take that love for granted
As I did when my needs grew selfishly.
And in sorrow those needs came to an end.
Helping me to realize,
No love would stand by true love in disguise.
Those are scars I no longer visit.
No longer catching me by surprise.
Bring me that love,
My Dear Father.
Bring that love to me.
Bring me that love,
My Dear Father...
That love that is true as can be.
I want You to bring
That kind of love I seek...
My Father.
Bring that one that completes,
And sets my feelings free!

I Dont Want To Hurt
I don't want to hurt
I don't want to love
Every time
I get hurt
When I fall in love fast
I get hurt the same way
Fast
It seems like when I try
His love seem to die
He leave has me wondering why
Do you feel the same way?
I say I won't do it again
But I find myself
Back in love again and again
I don't want to hurt anymore
So why am I back in love?
Simple just to
See if any man will ever love me
Like you did before
