Wife

I never thought I would hear you say the words good bye
but you gave your heart to another and I don’t know why
I made a promise to love you for the rest of my life, boy
and I would have loved you forever if you made me your wife
I bled my heart out when you first told me you’d be gone
then you went and took a new lover now I just can’t go on
to be so betrayed and forgotten well it feels like a knife
oh but still I would’ve loved you forever if you made me yours
if you had only made me your
Wife, wife, wife, wife
I never thought I would be the one who’s left behind
I often wondered how I was led to be so blind
would you have been worth the suffering, the pain and the strife
would you have loved me forever if you made me your wife?
Wife, wife, wife, wife
I never thought I would hear you say the words good bye
I would have loved you forever
I would have loved you
forever

On My Own
03:42

A weight sits on my peace of mind
and so I seek comfort in noise
but what I’ve found in that space is that
silence cures when overthinking hurts
At a young age I learned how to be on my own
nobody spends enough time on their own
if they don’t how can they hear the whispers
deep in their souls
A weight falls on my tongue
and so it lies
still and complacent to the space it occupies
what I’ve learned in that place is that silence cures
when all the speaking hurts
At a young age I learned how to be on my own
nobody spends enough time on their own
if they don’t how can they hear the whispers
deep in their souls
Nobody spends enough time on their own
my friends worry I spend too much time on my own
if I don’t then how I can hear the whispers deep in my soul
Hear, hear, hear myself when I’m on my own

Burned By Devotion

Caught you sleeping in my lion’s den
you were so soft, so sweet, so silent
you know very well that I cannot be tame, no
I won’t come running when you call my name
Lost in emotion
burned by devotion
don’t get lost in emotion
you’ll get burned by devotion
I won’t get caught up in your old ways, no
though you were so soft, so sweet in those good old days
pretending like I am not a live wire
don’t you know by now
I am made of fire
Lost in emotion
burned by devotion
don’t get lost in emotion
you’ll get burned by devotion
Caught you sleeping in my lion’s den
you were so soft, so sweet, so silent
you know very well I cannot be tame
I won’t come running when you call my name

One day I hope to find the courage to grow up just a little
one day I hope to find us loving, hopeful and
breathing out, just a little
One day, smiling through clenched teeth
I hope to figure out what our love really means
because I tried to breathe you into me
with the hopes that you could fix my little
Little broken pieces
little broken pieces
find little whole pieces
find a little gold to put between them
find
Oh from all I’ve ever known
what is broken must be thrown
still if it were up to you and me
we’d be with the little fishies
swimming in the sea
Oh you will find these pieces
find a little gold to put between them
Little broken
little broken pieces
