Away

Take me far away
Far away from here
No matter where I go
Thoughts of you follow
How far I'd like to go
All around the world and back
Right back to you
I wish I could forget
You make it look so easy
I know if I let you go
You won't come back
You already left
It's already gone
A fleeting moment in this precious thing called life
But life goes on
On and on to one heartbreak then the next
How many times can I be broken
Before I'm done
Everyone says it's time to move on
To the nothingness inside my heart
Where do I start
Because you still tangle my mind
With sad strange thoughts
And no matter where I go
No matter how far away
You remain a part
Of me that wishes
You would just go away

WoMAN

Thrown out like yesterday's trash,
Used up, burnt out.
Not even a flickering in your mind, cuz baby that flame is gone.
Like a flame lit in the pouring rain my soul wills to shine,
But you're not mine.
So here I remain.
Heart in a heap wishing away the pain.
Stepped on, run over, ever forgotten.
Lost to you.
If only you knew.

I left my heart in New Orleans.


Well... shit.

The Puppet

I do not deserve such punishment
For Lords and Kings have done terrible things
But the Queen of Hearts the worst.
She took what once was mine and gave it away
To a puppeteer no less.
Now he tugs and he pulls on the strings held so close to my soul
And I go along with a smile and a song dancing for the crowds
No one sees the tears on my sad painted face.
This is my fate, and much like hers
The Queen will find what she deserves.

Heartbreak
A test of strength
And patience for me
How can I just let it be?
When you have the nerve
To tell me what I deserve?
I decide what I need
For now I'll let my soul bleed
I answer to no one
But when I'm done
I'll deal
And one day these scars will heal
And I'll remember the time we had to part
Without bitterness in my heart

Loneliness worth the cost
I was found now I'm lost.
