Without You
Without you...I walked in darkness
Though, I thought that I could see.
Without you...I was but half a man
missing the better part of me.
Without you...I held tightly
to all the pain that I'd been through.
I would have never known what 'forever' meant....without you.
Without you....I sifted ashes
vainly looking for the flame
Without you...I searched through others eyes
but they all looked the same.
Without you...I thought that second best
was the best that I could do
I could never lay that lie to rest....without you.
Without you....I'd still be wondering
if love was truly real.
Without you....I'd never really know
just how perfect this could feel.
Without you....I'd still be lonely
and my joys would be so few.
I never want to know a single minute...without you.

Cruel Nights
Every night without you is more than I can bear
Moonlight can be torture
When your love isn't there
I see you in the shadows
I can hear you in the wind
Think of you and I can feel my world closing in
I can't sleep I keep wishing I could touch you
I'd be fine if I could make it through
Through these
Cruel nights
Cruel nights
Missing you nights
What do I do nights
Cruel nights without your love
Counting every minute
Every minute feels like days
Feels like time is standing still since you've been away
Always thought you'd stay forever
Always thought that you'd be here
Now it's been a lifetime since I held you near
Days crawl by

Two Halves of a Soul (song)
A beautiful new spring day
The grass, new tender and green
The trees, sprouting new leaves
A small rose vine climes a tree
And flowers pedals of scarlet red
‘A crystal pond paces away
All the little golden sun perch
Enjoying its fresh sparkling waters
A flock of pure white swans
Swimming their graceful way
A perfect wedding, for a perfect love
As we hold our hands so tightly
And look so deep in each others eyes
We know the other is the one
The missing half of our loving soul
Two collared dove light in a tree
And coo a sincere love song
It sounds like it was written for us
As we walk this pedal sprinkled aisle
Pledge our vowls and say “I do”
A perfect wedding, for a perfect love
As we hold our hands so tightly
And look so deep in each others eyes
We know the other is the one
The missing half of our loving soul

I Thought Id Seen Everything
(r.j. mutt lange/huey lewis)
(track 7 - time 3:58)
Here I am a single guy
Ive seen a lot in this crazy life
There you are, what can I say
I guess you took my breath away
Something in your eyes took me by surprise
cause when I looked at you something you do
Is telling me more than I ever knew, oh baby
I thought Id seen everything, til I saw you
I thought Id seen everything baby I thought I knew
Now here I am alone with you
What am I supposed to do
Should I stay or should I go
Something tells me I should know
Its something in your touch that makes me feel so much
You took me by surprise I realize
And now I cant believe my eyes, oh baby
I thought Id seen everything, til I saw you
I thought Id seen everything, baby I thought I knew
Ive been around the world, seen a lot of girls
In and out of love til I had enough
I thought I had everything, til I had you, oh baby
Baby let your lovin take me all the way
I thought Id seen everything, til I saw you
I thought Id seen everything, baby I thought I knew
I thought Id seen everything, oh baby

Smoke And Ashes
I'd heard rumors and I'd heard talk
About the trail you'd left of broken hearts
About the sea of tears too wide to cross
But a little bad press has never scared me off
So I burned a path to figure out
How to get me some of what you got
I've got a red hot heart
If the talk is true your's is the same
And we should be together
And let our passions fan love's flame
When I looked for you I almost passed you by
You were so cool and calm
I thought my friends had lied
But I thought so much reserve must make you wild inside
It was there and then that I knew
I had to get some of what you got
I've got a red hot heart
If the talk is true your's is the same
And we should be together
And let our passions fan love's flame
I thought I'd won your heart when I held you hand in mine
I thought it was true love the way we complemented each other
But my right is your wrong
And when you're right then I'm left with nothing
Your light and your heat have all been spent
Leaving only smoke and ashes
Only smoke and ashes baby
I've got a red hot heart
And your heart's as blue as the blood in your veins
I say there's fire down below
You say it's only smoke and ashes baby
I'm crying all the time
Salty stinging tears
And mourning for the past carbon-dated years
But knowing now for certain that you were always right
Because if a breeze could blow you out of my life
It's only smoke and ashes baby
Only smoke and ashes baby
I've got a red hot heart
And your heart's as blue as the blood in your veins
I say there's fire down below
You say it's only smoke and ashes baby
I was blinded by devotion
My unwavering love for you
So blinded that I thought all your lies were true
But now I know for certain since you've gone away
It was just a smoldering fire I mistook for a blaze
Only smoke and ashes baby
I've got a red hot heart
And your heart's as blue as the blood in your veins
I say there's fire down below
You say it's only smoke and ashes baby
Only smoke and ashes baby, baby ...

Killing Me
Sometimes my life,
seems so empty,
every time I see,
you walk by.
You broke me,
I never thought you would,
I thought you were different,
but you're like the rest.
Honestly I miss they way,
you looked at me,
with eyes so loving,
and so kind.
But now those eyes,
are full of pain,
pain that only,
I seem to feel.
How is it,
that it hasn't hurt you,
and it's only been,
killing me?

Love Lost
My soul have searched the world for you
Now, loving me has made you mad
You have become suspicious
Overbearing
Love means to trust and understand
I felt the unbearable pain
Of your jealousy insane
The forever lasting LECTURES
Have broken me inside
This is not how love should feel
No, I want to run
What I thought was love, is lost
Forever you will remain my first love
Part of my soul, my being
Once I thought you were the one
Trusted you blindly
Hang on every word you said
I have clung to your every endearment
Your soothing voice will haunt me forever
But Love
You have lost me
Through all you have said and done
I live my life now
One day at a time
You have pushed me over the edge
My mind in a mess
My soul in search for what we once had
Too much has happened
When I lay awake at night
I think of when we first met
Your suspicion has build this wall between us
I stood by you
Saw you lying in your hospital bed
I felt your pain
But I can't go on this way
I do not know you anymore
Every day I died a little inside
It hurts too much
I will love you forever
But alone I will remain

This Love Is Real
I can taste your lipstick in the wine
I can feel your heartbeat close to mine
With your love wrapped around me
Im silent and still
I know that this love is real
I have tasted other lips I thought were true
I have looked into the eyes I thought were you
Now touching just to touch
And feeling just to feel
I know that this love is real
Someone should tell our dreams when love is gone
While still in slumber memories linger one
Sometimes I lie awake in bed till dawn
Thinking of you
Now youre gone
Tender is the heart that sleeps in rest
Tender is the hope of tenderness
Love thy neighbor as thyself
And thou shall not steal
I know that this love is real
Love thy neighbor as thyself
And thou shall not steal
I know that this love is real

Where Was Love?
The maiden mourned within her heart
Where all our best dreams grow.
She knew life had a missing part,
For love she didn't know.
She'd never met a likely lad,
With twinkles in his eyes...
No wonder that she felt so sad
And pondered full of sighs...
Her life continued day-by-day,
No-one to hold her tight.
No-one with sweet words meant to say,
'You are my one delight! '
And so her sighs turned into tears
That fell on stony ground...
And weeks turned into months then years
And little joy was found...
Of course she prayed, yet God remained
As silent as could be.
And so dismayed, with nothing gained,
She always looked lonely.
But God had heard her precious prayer...
And thought it wonderful.
He searched the Earth for one who'd care,
Someone incredible!
The likely lad was introduced...
Romance lit up his smile!
The maiden stood there quite amused,
Confused and in denial.
God saw them both and smiled above...
As smiles between them passed.
Because she knew her one true love
Was here, right now, at last!

Another Heart Break
Worst fear realized
as i feel my world crumbling around me
with you as the source of my pain
and all this means nothing now
all what i built is coming down
decayed of walls broken down moments
as i cry out for help
this is a me i thought i buried
but its back as i break out in tears
over the sorrow of missing
missing what we had
thought it would last forever
but you ended it
now am in pain
but not what am use to
oh no now its an emotional melt down
as you walked out of my life
i see who i truly am
this little boy hiding emotions
looking for someone to understand him
someone to love him
as he conceal his pain and past from friends
when deep inside his just an out of control
maniac losing his head
as he tries to change through his words
till you came along and crumbled it all
i was never the type to fall in love
yet now am heart broken as you say goodbye
and the tears begin
as i go back to being this concealed beast
everyone seems to fear
all when i just needed a friend
well no more back to being this cold guy
as i walk this streets alone

Love set up in Flames
I thought you were the one. I mean we were so happy, of course we had our share of fights but who doesn’t. I would of done anything for you and I thought you felt the same. But you set our love up in flames. All I’m left with now are ashes and memories of what use to be. It kills me inside not knowing where it all went wrong. In just one day my world fell a part and I was like a bystander that could do nothing about it. How could you go from always wanting to be with me and telling me you would never break up with me because it would break your own heart, to not caring about even being my friend or talking to me? How can you just walk right past me like you don’t even know me after all the love we shared? You told me you always wanted to find love but when you did you just threw it away like it was nothing. I know it wasn’t always good but love isn’t perfect you always have to work at it because nobody is perfect so of course its not going to be, but it is worth it. I mean people make mistakes and change but your suppose to love them through it. I’m just so lost without you and I try to make my heart understand that you don’t love me and that it needs to get over it but it doesn’t listen. So tell me baby how can I get over you when your all I think about and every sign points straight to you? I guess all the signs are and were wrong though because you don’t care and I can’t make you love me again if you ever truly did. I mean it seemed like you did the way you held me, kissed me, that look in your eyes and all the things you said but then again maybe it was all for show. I guess I will truly never know if you did or not and if so how and why did you stop. All I know is that I can’t stop loving you even though you are a jerk to me now I remember how you use to be so sweet. I miss everything about you even hearing you play you guitar, and listening to your crazy blues music. I would do anything to get it all back and I know it would be better this time. But I know you don’t care. So I’m just left holding the ashes of a love gone wrong that’s slowly turning to hate with no way to make it right again. Oh how sad it is when a love goes up in flames and the one you loved did it. It kills a part of you that is forever lost and nothing is ever the same again because it changes you.

Never Meant To Be
I thought all the heartaches, all the pain
Was slowly fading away
But I was wrong once again
Because here it comes more pain my way
I guess I was never meant to be happy
Never meant to be satisfied
All my life pain has lingered around
I know now I'll never be pain free
Guess I was never meant to be pain free
All this pain bottled up in me is killing me now
What must I do to end this misery
Thoughts running through my mind
Here we go again with the same ole
I know I gotta be strong
I gotta rid those thoughts of dying
But its just so hard when the pain is with you everyday
And you don't know what else to do
When no one else will ever heal the wounds
I guess I was never meant to be satisfied
Never meant to be pain free
Just meant to be lonely forever more

Tell Me Why
Oh, why
I just wanted to lay down and die
You dont know the pain that I feel inside
Could this be a dream or is it real tonight
Tell me why, oh why
It hurts inside, for real, a lie
Can you tell me what went wrong with our love
We laughed, we cried
Through battles, we survived
Our love was sure as the stars above
Oh, tell me why
Oh, why
I just wanted to lay down and die
You dont know the pain that I feel inside
Could this be a dream or is it real tonight
Tell me why, oh why
You said wed be together forever
They say true love never dies
You said that I was all you needed
Why did we have to say goodbye
The situation is killing me
But you had to step out on me
With another man, I dont understand
I saw you holding his hand
Oh, why
I just wanted to lay down and die
You dont know the pain that I feel inside
Could this be a dream or is it real tonight
Tell me why, oh why
I remember the first time that I laid eyes on you
You were the only one for me, I thought I knew
Now my heart is filled with pain
Cuz our love was in vain
Tell me why, oh why, please tell me why
Oh, why
I just wanted to lay down and die
You dont know the pain that I feel inside
Could this be a dream or is it real tonight
Tell me why, oh why
2 - i need to know, please tell me
Why did you have to leave me
I need your love, please tell me
Baby tell me
Repeat 2 while:
I need to know right now
Wont you tell me
Can I testify right now
Girl I used to do the things you wanted me to do
I cooked your breakfast, I rubbed your back
But you had to step out on me
And with another man
Why did you do this to me
Please tell me, please tell me
I deserve better than this
Wont you tell me
What did I do wrong
Oh, tell me why why why
I get lonely without you baby

Teardrops
Too many times you've crossed the line
Don't you come crawling back to me
Say we can be friends
Its not the end
Trying to fix it with sorry
You cheated, you lied, you made me cry
Left me alone with no affection
Now look at you, broke
I hope you choke
On all your tears and all your tention
He'll take your heart
(He'll take your heart, he'll take your heart)
Destroy each and every part
(Each and every part)
Leave you cold layin' in the dark
'Cause he' dangerous
That man he's dangerous
Teardrops come again
I can almost feel your pain
I never ever thought the day would come
When i would be the lucky one
To see you hurt, to see you cry
Gives my soul a natural high
Think about the times
You walked on me
The teardrops came to set me free
You seem to bring the pain
No more to gain
I'm out this situation
You were the rock to hold me down
You were the cause of my frustration
Now i see you cry you wipe your eyes
You promised me you've changed
But in the end you're still the same
How can a player change his game?
He'll take your heart
(He'll take your heart, he'll take your heart)
Destroy each and every part
(Each and every part)
Leave you cold lying in the dark
'Cause he's dangerous
And then he's dangerous
Teardrops come again
I can almost feel your pain
I never ever thought the day would come
When i would be the lucky one
To see you hurt, to see you cry
Gives my soul a natural high
Think about the times
You walked on me
The teardrops came to set me free
He's in your mind, he's a shadow in the night
In his eyes there is no light
'Cause he's dangerous
That man he's dangerous
>Teardrops come again
I can almost feel your pain
I never ever thought the day would come
When i would be the lucky one
To see you hurt, to see you cry
Gives my soul a natural high
Think about the times you walked on me
The teardrops came and set me free

Maybe Forever
Tell me
Should I be surprised
By the thought of something new
Slowly
As I realise
Start a fire in my mind
Through earthly desire
To find a better place
Trying to find a way
To heaven and higher
A long way from my world
No tears of emotion for my own devotion
Just like an illusion
It seems so real
This is how Im going to feel
Maybe forever
Im stronger
This time
Than Ive been before
Tomorrow...maybe forever
The power of suggestion
Deceiver and deceived
My senses slide away
Its such a distraction
I wish I had no memory
Waiting for someone just like you to find me
Just like an illusion
It seems so real
This is how Im going to feel
Maybe forever
Im stronger
This time
Than Ive been before
Tomorrow...maybe forever
The sea of change
Pulls me in
Almost naked
Perfect
Angel
Your voice
Saves me
Dislocate your mind
Im waiting for someone just like you to find me
Just like an illusion
It seems so real
This is how Im going to feel
Maybe forever
Im stronger
This time
Than Ive been before
Tomorrow...maybe forever
In silence
In darkness
Together now at least until
Tomorrow...maybe forever
The distance between us
Will fade away
People come and stay
Sometimes forever and ever
Maybe forever
Forever and ever and ever ...

Dark Cloud
All the pain rains down on me
Like a summer shower
I can't seem to rid this dark cloud
That hangs over me
I guess all the pain was meant for me
Just when I thought the showers had stopped
And I was pain free
More pain just poured down on me
Feels like the dark cloud I will forever have
Pain is just a part of me and I can't rid it
No matter how many times I try
Pain is just strong and I'm just too weak to fight it
All the pain pours down on me
And I still wonder why
I still ask God why
Everything I do doesn't seem like its good enough
I'm so tired of trying when it does no good
Pain was just a part of me at birth
And forever and always I guess I will have it
I just wonder when will be the end
Will I drown in the pain or will I survive

On A Clear Day, I Can See Forever
On a clear day, I can see forever-
But forever is ne'er more near
Than when I think of you and I together,
As we would be, if I lived in a world sans fear;
In those days, I was only able to see 'tomorrow',
Naught more, and thought I knew not what love meant;
Now, I look back at my naivete with the sorrow
That a broken heart gifts, wondering where my love went!
Oh, to do it all over again-sikerly I would-
But I cannot, so thoughts as this, do no good.
We may, however, be so blessed if we begin anew-
And shall, if you love me as I love you!
Ah, but to see forever, where today is merely its start,
Would inspire my soul and surely embolden this heart,
Which now knows not fear, only its betterment,
And casts aside any form of fret as just another impediment
That keeps my heart in darkness, where it craves light-
My soul from its inspiration, and my mind, from fanciful flight!
On a clear day, we may see forever,
Though not with our eyes, and only together!

I thought you were the one
I thought you were the one,
I thought you were for me,
I thought you were the person
an the guy of my dreams
How stupid was I
to Believe it's the truth,
The guy of my dreams is so
not like you.
As you lips lie
my eyes begin to cry.
The love between us died,
And there is nothin left between
you an I.
I should have known
that I had been used,
I should of known that my
love for you was fake,
an saying those three words
now is too late.
You should of been real
You should have been true.
You should have felt the
love i had for you.
As I'm walkin away,
wit no words to say,
Im leaving you behind,
its all your fault,
that we have to be a part,
I dont kno you any more,
maybe deep inside I do,
but just remember,
that tiny hole that
you have inside,
is a missing spot
of the love i had for you.

What's up baby girl! (Ho!)
Thought I had to talk to you again, missing you (Hey, ey, ey, ey)

Rashad is missing you your mom is missing you (N-n-n-n-no no no)
Your pop is missing you Dame is missing you damn we missing you whooh!
All we listen to is all the different yous
Four page letters in addition to
Have you ever loved somebody used to get the party poppin
We used to party hop, we used to be in the Hampton's partied a lot
We was The Breakfast Club you was a part of the ROC
We used to make up special names for the food we ate
Remember serial pie one of your favourite plates (I miss you)
Well Dame told me tell you he's doin well
Due to the circumstances, it could've been Bellevue
But I ain't got to tell you, you lookin over us
Our little angel, but you know what
Brooklyn's missing you Detroit is missing you
New Orleans missing you Philly's missing you
(It's been too long and I'm lost without you)
Your uncle's missing you your families missing you
Your fans is missing you the galleries missing you
Damn we missing you
(It's been too long and I'm lost without you)
Now Star is mad I won't grant him a interview
Now he's dissing me cause he dissed you
Can you believe the nerve of this dude?
Cause of your memory I won't bring in the pistols
(Wondering if your the same and who's been with you)
But he got issues enough of that lame
I never seen pain like your parents pain
But I know God protecting you
You used to read Seed Of The soul I know God perfecting you (I miss you)
All the estrogens the darker texture you are the more intellectual
You are so professional our little purple

I love you once
love you once
.
Wondering what that voice is inside my mind, as I layed my head down on this crazy train,
with tears rolling down my face.
Some days its there and sometimes gone, wondering where all the years will lead me, and my final destination.
Now your telling me that I am home....
I been down some empty streets, within wicked hearts and broken dreams....
Than I feel that is just phase, I will no longer feel this way.
But each time I feel your heart next to me, I feel a strong connection to you, Baby
I always wanted you next to me, Why I had to go through all these bad things?
You make me feel so happy, I never want to be without you.
'But take it all away, take it all away, this pain has been deep inside me.
This something that I can not deny me. Just take it all away.'
But take it all away, take it all away, this pain has been deep inside me.
This something that I can not deny me. Just take it all away.
This pain is just inside me, in my head and I can not hide it.......
You have touched a deep part of my soul, you are part of me I can't let go.
Happy I never thought I could be so Happy. Today you took the pain away.
Please never go away, never go away.
Each time I feel your heart next to me, I feel a strong connection to you baby.
I always wanted you next to me, why I had to go through all these bad things?
My heart was broken in so many places, but you helped me replace it.
My heart was broken in so many places, but you helped me replace it.
I owe it all to you - I love you once and forever, I love you once and forever..You are my final destination
