A Home

I mistook the warnings for wisdom
From so called friends quick to advise
Though your touch was telling me otherwise
Somehow I saw you as a weakness
I thought I had to be strong
Oh but I was just young, I was scared, I was wrong

Not a night goes by
I don't dream of wandering
Through the home that might have been
And I listened to my pride
When my heart cried out for you
Now every day I wake again
In a house that might have been
A home

Guess I did what I did believing
That love is a dangerous thing
Oh but that couldn't hurt anymore than never knowing

Not a night goes by
I don't dream of wandering
Through the home that might have been
And I listened to my pride
When my heart cried out for you
Now every day I wake again
In a house that might have been
A home
A home

Four walls, a roof, a door, some windows
Just a place to run when my working day is through
They say home is where the heart is
If the exception proves the rule I guess that's true

Not a night goes by
I don't dream of wandering
Through the home that might have been
And I listened to my pride
When my heart cried out for you
Now every day I wake again
In a house that might have been
A home
A home

I still remember...

"I Can't Make You Love Me"

Turn Down The Light
Turn down the bed
Turn down these voices inside my head
Lay down with me
Tell me no lies
Just hold me close
Don't patronise
Don't patronise

'Cause i can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something that it won't
Here in the dark in these final hours
I will lay down my heart
And i feel the power
But you won't, no you won't

'Cause i can't make you love me if you don't
I'll close my eyes, then i won't see
The love you don't feel when you're holding me
Mornin' will come and i'll do what's right
Just give me till then to give up this fight
And i will give up this fight

'Cause i can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something that it won't
Here in the dark in these final hours
I will lay down my heart
And i feel the power
But you won't, no you won't
'Cause i can't make you love me if you don't

I remember listening to this song and feeling it deep inside...

"Mary Go Round"

Maybe my mind is playing tricks on me but I could've sworn
That the kiss that was meant truly for me is leaving me torn
How could love be so kind and so gentle and turn and be so cold
Why must my arms feel so empty for what my heart still holds


Mary how could you go
Around and hurt me so
I've tried so hard to please you baby
But I just can't seem to baby
Mary how could you go
Around and hurt me so
I've tried so hard to please you baby
But I just can't seem to baby


Was there something I could've done to change this outcome here
As if I blinked my eyes and suddenly she up and disappeared
How can love escape your grasp without you ever letting go
And until she returns to my offer I may never know


M,A,R,Y,H,O,W,C,O,U,L,D,Y,O,U,B,E,S,O,C,R,U,E,L,T,O,M,E,M,Y love
M,A,R,Y,H,O,W,C,O,U,L,D,Y,O,U,B,E,S,O,C,R,U,E,L,T,O,M,E,M,Y love

I also remember that eventually I came to a realization. Despite my broken heart, I didn’t lose track of how it should be…

Dontchange


Lately you've been questioning
If I still see you the same way
We gonna both physically change
Now don't you know you you'll always be
The most beautiful woman I know
So let me reassure you darlin that
My feelings are truly unconditional


See I'll love you when your hair turns gray
I'll still want you if you gain a little weight
The way I feel for you will always be the same
Just as long as your love don't change, No

I was meant for you and you was meant for me yeah
And I'll make sure that I'll be everything you need
Girl the way we are is how its gonna be
Just as long as your love don't change


Cause I'm not impressed, more or less
By them girls in the T.V and magazines
Cause honestly I believe that your beauty
Is way more than skin deep
Cause everything about you makes me feel
I have the greatest gift in the world
And even when you get on my last nerve
I couldn't see myself being with another girl


So don't waste your time worrying bout
Small things ain't relevant to me
Cause to my understanding your all I want and need
See what I'm trying to say is I'm here to stay
Baby, baby darling I swear that I,
I swear I ain't going nowhere no.

You are my baby
Don't you change baby
I love you, got to know,

I learned the hard way what loving someone really means. It means giving rather than taking, it means working on your problems no matter what, and it means making the other person's happiness your priority. I don't think I was mature enough to understand any of this. All I know is, I would do anything to take back all the pain I caused you because you mean more to me than I had ever realized.

I don't understand what you mean by "not losing track of how it should be." Do you feel this way about me now? If you do, I really need to know...because it is how I feel.
