So this is what its like
To feel like I belong
To be held in his arms
Protected from all wrong

So this is what it’s like
To have a trying day
But when I see his face
I know it’ll all be okay

So this is what it’s like
To be part of another
To know his every thought and dream
And long for no other

So this is what it’s like
To no longer feel the pain
With his touch he soothed it
Like a cleansing rain

I’ll remember what it’s like
When there comes a day
When he’s no longer with me
And I’ll keep the ache at bay

This forbidden love has left me broken
As time goes by, the words unspoken
Have kept me up through the night
Till dawn brought the morning light

Now I realize as the days pass into weeks and slowly fade away
So does our happy ever after
For this love was never meant to stay

Darkness all around me, closing in on every side
Knowing that you've left me, I've nothing left to hide
How could you chose another, after what we shared
But now our love is gone, broken and bare

I don't understand, why I still feel the way I do
When apparently, she's the only one for you
Though my mind tells me it's over, my heart won't seem to get
The message that you're sending, to tell me to forget

Hush now, little one, it’ll all be over soon
The sun will bring the light, and hide away the moon
Close those big blue eyes, and listen to my heart
Hear the steady beat, and feel your fears depart

I am here tonight

Hush now, little one, it’ll all be over soon
Come and huddle close, while I hum this little tune
Mommy knows you’re scared, and I was once scared too
But my mom was there for me and I am here for you

I am here tonight

Hush now, little one, it’ll all be over soon
Ignore the flash of light and the clap of thunderous doom
Instead look at me and slowly fade into sleep
relax your mind and rest it, forget the world so deep

I am here tonight

Hush now, little one, it’ll all be over soon
I’ll hold you close and keep you safe
As you drift to sleep
Your tiny little soul, like a flower soon to bloom
Will flourish through the storm

I am here tonight

Now there will come a day when I will be gone
But still I’ll watch over you
Know I love you little one
And it’ll all be over soon

Put on a brave mask, and face the sun
But inside you know you're done

You're like a ticking time bomb and you push us all away
It hurts to barely breath and the tears flow everyday

"No one understands what it is I'm going through."
But what you're saying now is really nothing new

The feeling you're all alone, and the blade of pain stabs through
Surrounded by the ones you love, but none of them ever knew

I've lived that way for far too long and I'm coming back into the light
I've traveled through the darkness and am here to say: it gets better over time

Once upon a time, I hated myself too
The thought of ending it all, kept me up the whole night through
The knife pressed to my skin, I used it as a crutch
and dreaded to see the return of the sun's golden touch

Often was the time I'd lie alone
Dreaming of a world to call my own
Until one day it hit me, like an icy blast
You can't let your future be controlled by your past

Your life is yours to live and no one can take that power
Let yourself soar above the highest reaching tower
Take that pain and use it, transform it into a muse
Take that hurt and turn it, leave behind the abuse

I know it seems hard now, but trust me you'll get through it
You and me, we're just the same and we're strong enough to do it
Believe me, Love, you're worth it, and you know what to do
The first step in living is deciding that it's true

Dawn is coming
Soldier brave
So is war
To take you away

One last kiss
Before we depart
Before you leave
Taking my heart

When sailing on the open sea
Going farther away from me
Remember that I love you so
And soldier brave, hurry home

Such beauty at a distance, yet a killer at the core
So full of life, yet the bodies wash ashore
This thing that can't be tamed, this force that can't be named
Luring sailors to it's depths yet feeding nations right and left
Many secrets live at sea, discovered some may never be
What it is she hides from view, is not for those land loving few
