Win, Lose or Draw
How do I do this all on my own
What once was our haven, Is a shattered home
I don't know what happened
Or maybe I do
I'll take all blame, if it's easier for you
This house of cards is starting to fall
It's all in a plan
I hope you understand
This house of cards is starting to fall
Win, lose or draw
Queen of hearts is all you saw
What was love, is no longer true
That's what you said, I'll just let it be
I felt alone for way too long
All the happiness we had is gone
...

Wholeheartedly
There's a storm raging inside of me
I can never let these feelings be
My heart and soul always seem to fight
While I try to sleep alone tonight
They say the road to hell
Is paved with good intentions
I would like to say I done my best
But to confess, I never did much for you
I understand why you don't know who I am
But I always loved you... wholeheartedly
These six strings and bright lights
Consumed all my days and nights
I was never there to see you grow up
I thought, I would have time to make...

Darkness
The darkness was born
With the devil's scorn
Filled with desire
It's passion was fueled by dire
It became a shelter for our souls
Where evil defines our roles
A place where light cannot judge
Darkness, a true path to trudge
With the devil's scorn
Filled with desire
It's passion was fueled by dire
It became a shelter for our souls
Where evil defines our roles
A place where light cannot judge
Darkness, a true path to trudge

Crash Into Me
Can you feel me when it hurts this much
No one to answer when I call your name
This is such a dangerous game
The emptiness is always the same
When the silence drives me insane
I hear you're flying above the clouds
He's the new wind beneath your wings
When you hit those turbulences and fall
Girl you can cash into me
Your new ring, it can't mean a thing
Compared to what we had
I love you and I know you love me still
It's times like this when forgiveness could have changed everything ...

Empty Pen (Poem)
You're the poem
I'm the rhyme
Divided by space and time
Just an empty pen
No words within
Words all in disarray
Surrounded by paper and daydreams
Scattered by silent screams
I can't let go of this empty pen
That will never comprehend
I'm blind, I need a sign
Blank pages that hypnotize
My desire and passion are in disguise
I'm so outta touch
Can you feel me, when It hurts this much
To overcome the rage of an abandoned page
I can't let go of the feelings I can't show
To find the words to...

Memphis Storm
I was leaving the beer line
When she bumped into me
Had one in each hand
Spilling Bud Light on her Def Leppard tee
I said excuse me ma'am
Can I buy you a beer
She said that would be nice
But that's not why I'm here
As she grabbed me by the hand
Now She blew me away
Like a Memphis storm in May
We danced in the rain
While the band played on
We slipped in the mud
Sat there for a while
I brushed her hair back
She kissed me with that...

Missing Legs
Seen my share of hard times
Looked the enemy in the eye
I never ask God why
Missing legs... that used to walk
I don't know if she can love half a man
This Purple Heart ain't no award
Just because I can't stand
Don't mean I'll fall for anything...
Seen my share of hard times
Looked the enemy in the eye
I never ask God why
Missing legs... that used to walk
Some paid the ultimate price
Cost of freedom is squared by sacrifice
They're all gone but the Stars and Stripes still flies
Means our...

Empty Pen (rewrite)
Divided by space and time
You're the poem
I'm the rhyme
Just an empty pen
No paper within
Searching for words
Something you never heard
I love you is such a cliche'
What do I do, what do I say
I need a clue from you
To make this story come true
I didn't know I could feel so much
When silence speaks to me
I wish I could set this pen free
To feel the passion of you and me
I gotta let go, you say take it slow
(I gotta let go)
You say, let feelings...

Heartless
We had our share of heartaches
We just can't see eye to eye
No matter how hard we try
It's like a storm that never dies
Our home spun out of control
It all came crashing down
You walked out that door
I sat right here and never made a sound
I was dumb as a scarecrow
Had no courage as the lion
Heartless as a tin man
Why I let you go, I'll never understand
I know you'll never come home
You left your slippers behind
So many times you tried
You could never melt my wicked...

Falling Feathers
Falling feathers on the ground
Lets me know you're still around
Never thought she would become an angel
But I always knew... she would find a way to fly
Her beauty was like the night
She would love you until you saw her light
Like a gypsy to a flame
You could fly
Until you were consumed by her pain
Falling feathers on the ground
Lets me know you're still around
Never thought she would become an angel
But I always knew... she would find a way to fly
When I ride down Highway Ninety Six

Want Me To Feel
I Love you is such a cliche'
It's something you say
Just to get through the day
If you want me to feel
Here's the deal
Hold my hand
Like you're a man
Accepting me as I am
Look into to my eyes
Without compromise
Send me flowers out of the blue
Even if I don't want you to
I love you is such cliche'
It's something you say
When you want to play
If you want me to feel
Well Baby... here's the deal
Kiss me slow
Let me go... let those...
It's something you say
Just to get through the day
If you want me to feel
Here's the deal
Hold my hand
Like you're a man

Look into to my eyes

Even if I don't want you to

It's something you say
When you want to play
If you want me to feel
Well Baby... here's the deal
Kiss me slow
Let me go... let those...
