Things Left Unsaid

Woke up this morning
you're words on replay in my mind
you said I was broken
didn't sleep a wink last night
I hear the footsteps
but there's no one in the hall
the memories they whisper
and chill me to the bone
I feel the echoes
but there's no one home
And all that's left... are these things left unsaid
Well I guess I should have seen it coming all along
Every moment that we spent together and now you're gone
you never really were one for talking you left it all inside
so now tell me how it felt, when we said goodbye
and you had to look me in the eye
Pour me another heavy dose
of reality
cause it still feels like I'm dreaming
and I can't wake up
Still stuck inside this nightmare
that started last night
You said it wasn't even worth trying
Now here I am
Now the roses on my grave are dying
because you left me here...

Well today I've come to see
just how far apart we stand
this cannion in my path
bridged by nails in your hands
but there's a battle in my heart
feels like i'm built to fall apart
and when I look into mirror
I face my greatest fear
my heart cries...
Can you fix, what's made to be broken
break this doubt, that holds my heart
or loves someone, who's let you down so many times
open my eyes.
A thousaned times I've tried
but I've no strength left to stand
you died to kill this sin
but I've let you down again
I cover up my scars
these lines in my arms
and think of the price you paid
as I give myself away.
my heart cries...
If only I could see myself the way that you
say that you see me, more then what I've done
more then what I've been, beyond all the things I'm not
maybe I could finally break the chains...
but there's a whisper in the back of my head, that hangs just above the noise
and as the tears begin to fill my eyes... I can see for the first time.
I've made new, what was dead and broken
so dwell not in, the shame in your heart
I love you still, you never let me down
open you're eyes

This Road
05:22

You stare, down this road
You've been walking, all alone
behind you, lay your fears
your eyes, are drained of tears
In the distance, you can see
you can taste, the flowers sweet
in the meadow, you long to be
but you're just so tired... from walking alone
haunted, every night
the nightmares, come to life
to afraid, to close your eyes
you're so tired, from walking alone
the secrets, you keep inside
have taken, away your life
and you've come, to believe the lie
but time to know, you're not alone
I've been watching you
since before, time began
You've never, left my hands
you... are never... alone
Lift up your head
you are not alone
Lift up your eyes
you are not alone
Its time for you to see
The truth will set you free

No Goodbyes

How I long to be going home, where there's no more tears
no pain of any kind for the father knows my name
and the streets are paved with gold, how I long to be going home
And though I know I will be missed
please don't cry it won't be long
before you see my face again
I'm going home, but this is not the end
I'm going home, but you'll see my face again
I'm going home, for the treasure of heaven is mine
I'm going home, but this is not goodbye
You know the thought's been on my mind, what will be like
as I take the angel's hand, and the father calls my name
I guess my time on this world is done, and its time to moving on
I'm sorry it has to be this way
There's so many things I'd like to say
but for now our paths must part
just promise to keep me in your heart

Counting Sunsets
03:17
|

I'm watching the sun set again
I'm Waving goodbye again
Every breath, is a struggle
I don't wanna face, without you
This strangled smile on my face, was the best that I could do
Under this circumstance, in which I'm leaving you
I'm counting the seconds, until your my arms again
I'm watching the clock, but time just won't move fast enough
I close my eyes, but your the only thing on my that's mind
And I've been counting the sunsets, till I get see you again...
I miss you already
And I'm watching the sun rise again
Another day about to begin
My world's so cold without you
and sometimes its easy to forget
Do you remember, the first time we met?
You tried to hide your smile, and stole my breath
Before the word "hello" had even left your lips
I was lost so hopelessly somewhere in your midst
And these cold dead tears falling from my eyes were the best that I could do
with this memory still in my mind, of when I last left you

Oh once upon this broken heart mine, a promise was made,
Is it true what they say? that love never last
all good must come to an end, but existence seems so dim
when you think of it that way, have we nothing left to say?
have we all just given up? playing life on dumb luck?
still looking for love, but its never quite enough
So I'll just keep, playing my guitar
and I'll keep trying, to find light in the dark
I'll keep praying, you find what you're looking for
oh oh oh once upon this broken heart of mine
Sometimes when I'm alone, I still think of you
and all the times we had, lying in the grass
you said you'd never let me go, now where did you go?
fade before my eyes? still stuck in you're lies
it may sound sort of bitter, but did you really care?
or where they just words? "never let me go"
I know it won't mean much now, but I'll say it anyway
I'm sorry I couldn't live up to, all thought that I should be
Part of me will always ask, what we could have been...
if we had stuck it out...
but we, were never meant to be

You Are My Hope
04:45

When every dream I've ever had, is crushed by this world
when my hope runs dry, and I can't find my faith
When uncertainty has taken the place, of my trust
when doubt is allowed to go unchecked, in my life
when my world is spinning out of control
and when there's no where else that I can go
I know that you will always catch me when I fall
You are my hope, you are my strength
and I will trust in you, to lead the way through this storm
when my heart is torn, I won't be shaken, because you are my hope
when the ground is falling through, and fear is all I know
when the rain is pouring down, and I'm blind to the light
when the lies of this world, invade my mind, and break me down
When I start to believe all hope is lost, I'm not alone
and I, will trust in you, whatever comes my way
cause I know you're promises are true, you've never let me down
and you won't start now, you're holding me, in the midst of everything

Who I Am
03:21
|
|||
|
I know regret, the root of everything I hold onto
The desire, to go back in time, and unmake all my mistakes
I know hurt, the shame of your disappointment
when I let you down every time I stumble
But just when I've lost all hope for myself
You're voice finds a way to break through the noise... and says
You are loved, just for who you are,
not because of what you've done, but because of who I am
You're forgiven, in spite of who you've been
and by glory of his grace, I've been remade...
This is who I am
I've found truth, in the promise of your love
I don't have to be good enough, all because of what you've done
I am loved...
I know empty, the hole inside my heart I tried to fill
with so much more then what really belonged there
I've defeated, broken down by the weight of this world,
even though I try so hard, but never seem to get to far
I know lonely, gave my heart away to anyone who'd say
they loved me, but this heart was never really mine to give

Hypocrite
04:00
|

Looking back to yesterday, hurts more then I'd like
Memories of all the lonely faces, burned into my mind
You call me to walk on the edge this world, and I just turn away
I'm more concerned, with what I'll, wear this Sunday morning to church
I'll raise my hands and bow my head, and say that I'm yours. I'm such a hypocrite
I am no saint, I am no angel, just a sinner trying to find his way
piercing sin, after piercing sin, as they drove the nails on through your hands
second chance, after second chance, but you let me try again
Man on the corner begging for some change, says he can't afford to eat
mother of three in a grocery store, can't afford to buy what she needs
Guy in the dinner's working two jobs, still can't make ends meet
once again my heart is broken, as I fall to my knees
and thank god above, that I always have enough, I'm such a hypocrite
I am no saint, I am no angel, just a sinner trying to find his way
piercing sin, after piercing sin, as they drove the nails on through your hands
second chance, after second chance, but you let me try again
How can I say I follow you? When I'm living for myself
So lukewarm you spit me out, Its time I cast aside this doubt
And start living what I say that I believe
We Are not saints, we are not angels, just sinners trying to find our way
piercing sin, after piercing sin, as we drive the nails on through your hands
Second chance, after Second chance, but you let us try again.

You Were There
03:56

Well I've been blind sine I was born, struggling to walk broken and torn, and I never even stood a chance
I couldn't see my hand in front of my face, You could say I've made my share of mistakes, and it only got worse as the years dragged on
you only ever want the best for me, but I still can't admit to my own defeat, guess I let my pride get a hold of me...
through every regret, and every misstep
that kept me in the dark
with every short come, that left me undone
and brought me to my knees...
oh now i see, you were always there
I tell myself that I'll be fine, but the smiles I wear are just a lie, to keep out anyone who really cares
I've always felt this doubt in my heart, like I was missing some crucial part, to everything I say that I believe
If only I opened up my ears, shut my lips and put aside my fears, maybe I could hear what you you've been saying all along.
When my tears were falling down, you were always there
every time I hit the ground, you were always there
every time my heart broke, you were always there
when I thought I had no strength to stand, or get back up again, you were always there
From the end of ourselves through all our days, between our pride and past mistakes, and all the hurt we feel along the way.
There's a bigger picture we just can't see, everyday's just a puzzle piece, in this master plan to bring us to your hands
And I can't say I wouldn't do things differently, Maybe right some wrongs now that I see, but all in all I finally understand.
