It Was Meant To Be
With both of your legs broken in a car smash and in plaster and in agony
And one of your friends even tell you don't worry it was meant to be
For it could be worse you could be in a wheelchair as if you had karma to pay
And you to help out other people have often gone out of your way.
His words to you don't sound consoling and he doesn't give you much sympathy
But if he had to suffer like you do he might not say it was
meant to be
He might not say that things could be far worse and unlike you he might complain
How can you know how one is feeling when you've never been through their pain.
He's not been through the trauma of a car smash and he's never had broken bones
And he's never known the aches of bad injuries the aches that give rise to the groans
You've got to know the pain yourself first before you can give sympathy
And only one who himself has not suffered can say that it was meant to be.
You've gone out of your way to help others and you always do the best you can
And those who know you they tell others that you are a good and kind man
But with both your legs broken in a car smash one of your friends doesn't offer much sympathy
When he says to you things could be far worse and don't worry it was meant to be.

Meant To Live
Fumbling his confidence
And wondring why the world has passed him by
Hoping that hes meant for more than arguments
And failed attempts to fly, fly
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside
Somewhere we live inside
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside
Dreaming about providence
And whether mice or men have second tries
Maybe weve been livin with our eyes half open
Maybe were bent and broken, broken
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside
Somewhere we live inside
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside
We want more than this worlds got to offer
We want more than this worlds got to offer
We want more than the wars of our fathers
And everything inside screams for second life
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live
We were meant to live

Everything Is Broken
Broken lines, broken strings, broken threads, broken springs
Broken idols, broken heads, people sleeping in broken beds
Aint no use jivin, aint no use jokin
Everything is broken
Broken bottles, broken plates, broken switches, broken gates
Broken dishes, broken parts, streets are filled with broken hearts
Broken words never meant to be spoken
Everything is broken
Seems like every time you stop and turn around
Someone else has just hit the ground
Broken cutters, broken saws, broken buckles, broken laws
Broken bodies, broken bones, broken voices on broken phones
Take a deep breath, feel like youre chokin
Everything is broken
Every time you leave and go off some place
Things fall to pieces in my face
Broken hands on broken plows, broken treaties, broken vows
Broken pipes, broken tools, people bending broken rules
Hound dog howlin, bullfrog croakin
Everything is broken

With Me (song I Wrote)
I’m done with the pain (with the pain)
I’m done with the lies (with the lies)
I’m done with every thing
Baby you’re not meant to be
I hurt me self
Every day
When you left me…
All the heart aches
All the tears
Wasn’t worth you (no my dear)
I’m done with the pain (with the pain)
I’m done with the lies (with the lies)
I’m done with every thing
Baby you’re not meant to be
All the lies
I told my self
To keep me hanging on
Only hurt me more
Killed me inside
I bet you wont care
I’m done with the pain (with the pain)
I’m done with the lies (with the lies)
I’m done with every thing
Baby you’re not meant to be
You kill me
With every word
Every word you speak
Every word I read
That you say and send to me
It kills me
I’m done with the pain (with the pain)
I’m done with the lies (with the lies)
I’m done with every thing
Baby you’re not meant to be (with me)
X2
Baby you’re not meant to be
You’re not meant to be
Baby you’re not meant to be
With me…

Confused
I'm so confused,
Idk whats going on,
someone help me,
I feel like I could cry
My world is flashing be4 my eyes,
My heart is geting ripped out of my chest
My life is getting thrown into a black hole
This feeling wont heal,
Cuz its teh feeling of pain
I was jus meant to have it,
I wasnt meant to be happy,
I wasnt meant to smile,
Nothing nor anybody was suppose to stay with me
first my parents,
then my animals,
then my friends,
then my grandparents,
now you...
Im physically and emotionally and mentally broken,
Never to be healed again,
Im destined to die alone,
Im destined to live alone
I gess I am ganna have to accept my fate,
I might as well end it know,
Get rid of the agonizing pain,
and just shoot my self for a fast painless death,
Good bye to the ones I loved and the ones who love me back,
I jus cant go thru life with out him with me for it.
So good bye and see all the backstabbers in hell.

Accept my sympathy
In all sincerity
It is a pathetic pity
I merely offer sympathy
With such velocity
This sadness born out of the blue
That decides to levy itself on you
In your fixed stillness
I sense your illness
Accept my sympathy
You lost a pet
Somebody made you upset
Accept my sympathy
You lost a friend
Your broken heart is yet to mend
Accept my sympathy
You were once abused
Possibly at times wrongly accused
Accept my sympathy
You marriage is on the rocks
You got divorced, left without a buck
Accept my sympathy
You lost a fortune
Your voice can't sing a decent tune
Accept my sympathy
You lost in love or lost your job
Or perhaps at one stage got robbed
Accept my sympathy
Your life is a mess
Everything around you depresses
Whatever the circumstances
Accept my sympathy
And if I happen to show no sympathy
Please accept my sympathy!

Whatever Will Be Will Be
Got a letter just the other day
So much was left unsaid
When you went away
How my heart grew so cold
From the misery of dreams ago
An open envelope
The last time that we spoke
You said that you would always be my man
And now this letters here
What will you say my dear
To bring me to emotions once again
The truth of it you say
Theres never been day
That youre not sorry you apologize
But life teaches new things
Beyond the pain it brings
You to a place where you are truly wise
Que sera sera
What will be will be
Im happy for you and me
That we can finally see what was meant
Que sera sera
What will be will be
Im happy for you and me
That we can finally see what was meant
I know weve made mistakes
Cause love is give and take
I mean to say it wasnt all your fault
I too had some regrets
Such pain Ive felted yet
Its better to have love than not at all
The memories we had of all the good and bad
Has helped me be the woman that I am
So dont apologize
Ive come to realize
Just what is meant by all in love is fair
Que sera sera
What will be will be
Im happy for you and me
That we can finally see what was meant
Que sera sera
What will be will be
Im happy for you and me
That we can finally see what was meant
Sometimes its just not meant to be
But the love that we share goes on and on
Spiritually therell be no more crying
No and therell be no more lying no no no no no
And the truth that we gained will offset the pain
And now we finally see
Que sera sera
What will be will be
Im happy for you and me
That we can finally see what was meant
Que sera sera
What will be will be
Im happy for you and me
That we can finally see what was meant

Broken Words
Your sweet little hands
Brush right past me
Sometimes you dont understand
Why you cant reach
I bite when I dont want to bend
How silent I can be
So she is silent too
Shes the one who saw my words
Broken, torn at the seams
And broken words were all she heard
Now shes walking away from me
Some never meant
And some meant well
The difference between us is so
Hard to tell
I was so shaken but now
All I see
Is everything she meant to me

A Pocketful of Sympathy
A pocketful of sympathy
Is really rather wonderful
To stop a scratch from stinging
Or a bruise from black and bluing
A pocketful of sympathy
Can stop a heart from hurting
Or catch a tear that's falling
Like a raindropp down a cheek
A pocketful of sympathy
Costs absolutely nothing
It's the cheapest kind of plaster
That you'll ever ever find
And a pocketful of sympathy
Is like Lindsay's Magic Pudding
'Cos the more of it you give away
The more you leave behind

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

Lover's PLEA
I never thought i would feel this way
But now that you're leaving
There is nothing i can do to make you stay
I took you for granted and now i have to pay the price
You loved me and i broke your heart with all my lies
Now those same lies are bringing tears to my eyes
And god knows i never meant to hurt you
I was just too blind to realize
How much you reaaly meant to me
But now all the pain nas materialized
I ask not for your sympathy
But for a chance to say i am sorry

Locked Inside Her Pain
Living day to day in severe pain,
overwhelming is her pain today,
can't walk too good, for her legs hurt so.
Kind and gentle she is, through all of her pain,
even on her worst days, she always has a smile
and a kind word for those who may pass by her way.
Day after day I watch her in pain
and pray there was something I could do.
Intensely wanting to just be able to take all her pain away,
nothing I can do to help her with it.
Sweet and loving she is, her pain is sometimes unbearable.
Intense pain is what she lives with everyday.
Doctors won't give her anything for fear she may be allergic.
Each and everyday her pain becomes worse.
Hating myself because there is nothing I can do to help her,
hoping that someday they will find a cure for Fibromyalgia and tendontis,
realizing that she may never ever be pain free.
Patiently, she tries to do the things she used to do
but, once again her pain stops her from doing them.
Inside her pain she cries, for relief of her pain or maybe a cure
never getting the relief she so deserves, or wants.
Dear Lord, please take my mom's pain away,
so she will no longer be locked inside her pain
and give her the life she used to know back,
so that she can live her life a normal person without pain,
and God, please be with her every day and night
and keep her safe and warm.

Smash
Hey
What are you thinking
I tried to reach your face
Say
See what youre thinking
Dont carry around that pain
Everytime I see you
Picking at yourself
I love
I love when things worked out
Smash
I heard you crying
Seven times this year
Crash
cause now youre smilin
Holding back those tears
Every time I see you
Picking at yourself
I love
I love when things worked out
Every time I see you
Torturing yourself
I love
I love when things worked out
I see it from another place right now
Im coming home before I hit the ground
Run fast there I wanna be gone now
Smash
And I feel it
Smash
And I feel it
Smash
And I feel it
Right now

Adam and The Angel
Birds of prey
But are stuck to the ground
Trying to fly
When there's no one around
I will one day earn my wings
And fly far away
From this place of hate
And take you with me
I Toss away fate
There is no such thing
As destiny
There is only what happens
When you leave things be
Fly away
Far away
I took the pills, but kept the pain
Fly away
Far away
Those words, pitched soft, hit hard my brain
-------
I am not running
I am just wond'ring
Why the gods must hate me so
Banished from heaven
No drug can lessen
The pain in my heart
A volley of arrows
straight up the hair goes
my neck; feels worse than broken
debt of destruction
How can I function
With boulders on my back
-------
Heavier than earth itself
Is the fact that you hate me
It was all for you
Why can't you see though
The illusions, to the truth
Fly away
Far away
I will make my wings if they don't regrow
Fly away
Far away
Give me a chance so that I can show
I would kill myself just to see you smile
I would run circles around the sun
But you fail to see what is meant to be
And cast away love like bullet from gun
I lost my wings
Just to be with you
be with you
Tore down my throne
since it's not for you
not for you
I can stand life
But can't stand alone
So please,
stay by my side
And we'll fly away
Far away
I'm not sure what I've done but I will atone
Fly away
Far away
Give me a chance; you'll never be alone
Fly away
Far away
it seems you long for something more too
Fly away
Far away
Take me in and let all our dreams come true

Feels Right
Too shy to
To follow through
But it is true
Yes, I do love you
You say no
But I wont go
'Cause all I know
Is you and I are meant to be
You and I are meant to be
Too proud to
Give in to
All the love
That I wanna lay on you
So called no
Say it aint so
'Cause all I know
Is that you and I are meant to be
You and I are meant to be
Feels so right
Feels so right
It feels so right
Too lost to
Realize who
Well heres one clue
Im standing right in front of you
Dont say no
'Cause I cant go
Well all I know
Is that you and I are meant to be
You and I are meant to be
Feels so right
Feels so right
It feels so right
Too shy
Too proud
To speak
Too loud
Too high
Too low
Too weak
To know
Too much
To give
To want
To live
Too much
To give
To want
To feel
Alright
You say no
I still wont go
'Cause all I know is that
You and I are meant to be
You and I are meant to be
Feels so right
It feels so right
It feels so right
Too shy
Too proud
To speak
Too loud
Too high
Too low
Too weak
To know
Too much
To give
To want
To live
Too much
To give
To want
To feel
Alright
Feels so right
It feels so right
It feels so right

The Proposition
You cant have the flower without the root
You cant have the fire without the soot
Even a stripper needs her red tasseled suit
And we were meant to be
In every war the north needs the south
And everyone knows all assholes have a mouth
Without mystery what would writers talk about
And we were meant to be
An apple needs pits the way melons need seed
Your foot needs your arm and your arm needs your knee
And one of these days I know you will need me
We were meant to be, ooohhh, we were meant to be
Youre mothers an ogre your fathers a scamp
You wont see my parents honored on any stamp
But just like a bulb screws into a lamp
We were meant to be
The way the aids needs a vaccine, somewhere a vaccine needs
Aids, the way a victim needs life, a life needs to be saved
And out of all of this will come a better way
We were meant to be
So you can go to europe, los angeles or mars
You can stand on a building throwing cinder blocks on cars
You can practice deep voodoo, but like me youll see
We were meant to be, we were meant to be
We were meant to be
We were meant to be
We were meant to be
We were meant to be
We were meant to be
We were meant to be
We were meant to be
We were meant to be

Too late for sorry
It’s too late for sorry, a choice has been made
You chose to argue, to cause more pain
You fought all you wanted, and just wouldn’t listen
Hurting more others, making things worse
You take things too far, , you never know when to stop
Everyone’s so sick of it, we hate it a lot
Just don’t do it anymore, try to be open
We're all good friends, Don’t force us to be broken

Going on that ride
our night of fun is meant to last
We seem to forget about the past
Running around laughing with so worry at all
We held each other close to never fall
Going on that ride
For that one moment we didn’t have you hide
We held ands so very tight
Us being sisters was ever so right
I miss you more and more
We will be friends forever That I'm sure
You Gave me a necklace of a broken heart
I wish we weren’t so far apart
I'll never forget this night
Two sisters having fun is such a sight
On that ride was such a blast
A memories meant to last
