How Stupid
I have blindly followed your lead
I have let you walk all over me
You build me up
Just to tear me down
You don't want me around
Yet you won't let me go
You love to hate me
I hate to love you
But it's all I know
You know no matter what
I will still be around
Despite the abuse
Every time I start to get ahead
You start to disappear
God forbid we be on even ground
How could you ever be morally superior
To me then?
You know just how you treat me
You tell your co workers
Then you laugh
How stupid must I be to...

You know no matter what

Every time I start to get ahead

How could you ever be morally superior

You Assume
Between you and me
there is no room for mistakes
you have made this a high stakes game
Excuses are hard to come by
you leave me no margin for error
Your moods I have learned to read like a book
my reactions I temper to keep the peace
you can go for days and not speak
me, I find myself at a loss without your voice
you change the rules all the time
I tossed the rule book out the door
when i met you
Just between you and me
somedays I do not understand
What I have done to make you mad
but never underestimate my desire
to...

No Idea
It is my attention you hold
With just a glance of your eyes
A brief hint of a smile
Or one light lingering touch
Down my arm, with a slight squeeze of the wrist
You have no idea how your hands
Across the small of my back
Leaving a tingling trail of anticipation
In their wake.
You have no idea how much I have come
To need your touch
To feel you next to me when we sleep
The way you snuggle up to me just before you fall asleep.
The way reach for my hand all through the night
The smile on your face before we wake
With the morning...
With just a glance of your eyes
A brief hint of a smile
Or one light lingering touch
Down my arm, with a slight squeeze of the wrist
You have no idea how your hands
Across the small of my back
Leaving a tingling trail of anticipation
In their wake.
You have no idea how much I have come
To need your touch
To feel you next to me when we sleep
The way you snuggle up to me just before you fall asleep.
The way reach for my hand all through the night
The smile on your face before we wake
With the morning...

For You
Back and forth we go again
I can feel your disdain from here
The unresolved tension
like razors on my skin
We have come so far
Only to fall back into old habits
For as much as we talk
Nothing is being said
I have let you down again
I have fallen once again
from the lofty heights
Of your expectations
My best is lacking
Second best to an ideal
No one can attain
You push me away physically
Yet keep me hanging on emotionally
You want me to tell you my problems
Yet you say you have no time to...
I can feel your disdain from here

from the lofty heights

My best is lacking
Second best to an ideal
No one can attain

Yet keep me hanging on emotionally
You want me to tell you my problems
Yet you say you have no time to...

Been a minute
It's been a minute since I have
Held your hand
The warmth of your hand in mine
Is better than any glove
It's been a minute since I have
Heard your voice
The way my stomach flips and my heart
Beats faster from a simple hello
It's been a minute since I have
Lost myself in you
Relished the feel of you all around me
Savored all you have to give
Showed you just what you mean to me
Held your hand
The warmth of your hand in mine
Is better than any glove
It's been a minute since I have
Heard your voice
The way my stomach flips and my heart
Beats faster from a simple hello
It's been a minute since I have
Lost myself in you
Relished the feel of you all around me
Savored all you have to give
Showed you just what you mean to me

Again
Again it seems it is all my fault
You twist my words
Into a knot, backwards and upside down
Wrapped around everything
Except what I meant
You refuse to listen
So why should I try
Again we find ourselves
In a fighting stance
I'm on the defense
You have instigated the attack
No matter the intent
You dwell on the assumption
Leaving me on the outside
While you hide within
You twist my words
Into a knot, backwards and upside down
Wrapped around everything
Except what I meant
You refuse to listen
So why should I try
Again we find ourselves
In a fighting stance
I'm on the defense
You have instigated the attack
No matter the intent
You dwell on the assumption
Leaving me on the outside
While you hide within

The Past
People say I have my hands full
with you
I say I would not have it any other way
your past is never far from the surface
the hurt lingers behind your eyes
the shadows flicker across your face
more than I would like
The ghosts that won't be laid to rest
I am not your past
So when you see me hold out my hand
To you,
When I wrap my arms around you,
When I hold you until you fall asleep
I will always be there
I won't let go
To see the morning sun reflected in your eyes
not haunted by the dreams
Is all I ask
with you
I say I would not have it any other way
your past is never far from the surface
the hurt lingers behind your eyes
the shadows flicker across your face
more than I would like
The ghosts that won't be laid to rest
I am not your past
So when you see me hold out my hand
To you,
When I wrap my arms around you,
When I hold you until you fall asleep
I will always be there
I won't let go
To see the morning sun reflected in your eyes
not haunted by the dreams
Is all I ask

Make me yours
Like the warmth from the morning Sun
Your smile is my favorite way
To start the day
Lying next to you,
so close I feel you
Under my skin
Your hands running down my back...
My excuse to linger
and get my fill of you
A glance from you
will get my attention
A smile from you
will speed up my heart
A kiss from you
Will make me weak
Your hands on my skin
Will make me yours every time
The very scent of you
I inhale every night
The feel of your skin
I have memorized
The shape of your body
The way it...
Your smile is my favorite way
To start the day
Lying next to you,
so close I feel you
Under my skin
Your hands running down my back...
My excuse to linger
and get my fill of you
A glance from you
will get my attention
A smile from you
will speed up my heart
A kiss from you
Will make me weak
Your hands on my skin
Will make me yours every time
The very scent of you
I inhale every night
The feel of your skin
I have memorized
The shape of your body
The way it...

I Try
You have gotten under my skin
Like a drug
You are what I crave
I try to resist but it's no use
Like a junkie I am back at your door
Hoping for more
You tear me down
But I just can't stop
The taste of you is just too much
The feel of your skin
Under my fingertips
Does me in
The heat of your smile, the light
In your eyes
Keep me mesmerized
Like a drug
You are what I crave
I try to resist but it's no use
Like a junkie I am back at your door
Hoping for more
You tear me down
But I just can't stop
The taste of you is just too much
The feel of your skin
Under my fingertips
Does me in
The heat of your smile, the light
In your eyes
Keep me mesmerized
