Lying on the carpet
Drowning in my fears
I am just a puppet
Wanting for my freedom
there's a hidden story
Inside my deepest heart
But it's not made of glory
Just dark and fragile lies
Alabaster jars
They can't keep safe my secrets
Broken into pieces
Alabaster jars
A thousand hungry faces
Set aflame by falling stars
I'm afraid you'll find out who I am
so lift me from this carpet
Fix the broken parts
Mend all my secrets
Straighten all my lies
Alabaster jars
They can't keep safe my secrets
Broken into pieces
Alabaster jars
A thousand hungry faces
Set aflame by falling stars
I'm afraid you'll find out who I am
I was meant for glory
To live a life for Him
The one who knows my story
the one knows it all
Alabaster jars
They can't keep safe my secrets
Broken into pieces
Alabaster jars
A thousand hungry faces
Set aflame by falling stars
I'm afraid you'll find out who I am
Alabaster jars
They can't keep safe my secrets
Broken into pieces
Alabaster jars
A thousand hungry faces
Set aflame by falling stars
I'm afraid you'll find out who I am
You’re the smell before the rain
And there’s something in the way you say my name
That soothes all my fears
And when you hold my hand, there’s not a thing I can’t do
Because of you, my life is filled with laughter
When I’m with you, time seems to fly
I get lost forever, forever in your eyes
They ask me what I see, they ask me why
Can’t they see? You mean everything to me
You’re the cool summer shower
And the rainbow at the end
Every moment seems an hour
And every hour seems a moment
And I'd spend them all with you
There's nothing else I'd rather do
Because of you, my life is filled with laughter
When I’m with you, time seems to fly
I get lost forever, forever in your eyes
They ask me what I see, they ask me why
Can’t they see? You mean everything to me
You're the salvation after a disaster
And the song bursting from within
The smell of roses on the wind,
A tricky rhyme I've yet to master.
Because of you, my life is filled with laughter
When I’m with you, time seems to fly
I get lost forever, forever in your eyes
They ask me what I see, they ask me why
Can’t they see? You mean everything to me
We use our words like secrets
The secrets that hide our sighs
Breaking aching burning screaming
The words we say just keep our
Walls up
Cant let them see we are falling
All to pieces from the inside
I’ll be fine is our biggest lie
Open your heart
And I’ll open mine
Its not that I want to pity you
I just want to show that I care
Open your heart
And I’ll open mine
Open your heart
And I’ll open mine
We both know we’re lying
We say its okay
When inside we’re dying
To let it out
To find someone who cares
But we’re afraid
So afraid of hurting more
Open your heart
And I’ll open mine
Its not that I want to pity you
I just want to show that I care
Open your heart
And I’ll open mine
Open your heart
And I’ll open mine
Open your heart, I want love you
Love you for who you are
And not who you pretend to be
Open your heart
And I’ll open mine
Its not that I want to pity you
I just want to show that I care
Open your heart
And I’ll open mine
Open your heart
And I’ll open mine
It's not done yet, but this is what I have written so far.
Sometimes I waste my days
Wondering where you are
Wondering what might have been
When we went our separate ways
I never thought my heart would never mend.
And I'd give all my tomorrows
Just to hear you speak
Yeah I'd give all my tomorrows
Maybe it would wash away the sorrows
And give me the peace I seek
I'm afraid to say, I'd give a thousand futures
For just one more yesterday.
I'm afraid, but if I don't I'd be lying to myself
I've been told I'm not supposed to wonder why
But I really think it's not fair
And each tear that I cry
Burns your name upon my cheek
And I'd give all my tomorrows
Just to hear you speak
Yeah I'd give all my tomorrows
For you to say my name
Maybe it would wash away the sorrows
And give me the peace I seek
Near to you
That’s where I long to be
And dear to me
Those words were never so true
Near to you
its my deepest plea
Train whistles
I hear the conductors call
Bags are packed
And you’re leaving till the fall
Won’t be back till colors fill the trees
And the dew begins to freeze
Near to you
That’s where I long to be
And dear to me
Those words were never so true
Near to you
its my deepest plea
I feel your hand slip from mine
We both smile
And say we’ll be fine
But inside I think the sorrow
Won’t be gone for quite awhile
And I just hope we can survive this trial
Near to you
That’s where I long to be
And dear to me
Those words were never so true
Near to you
its my deepest plea
Near to you
That’s where I long to be
And dear to me
Those words were never so true
Near to you
its my deepest plea
So I guess it's finally summertime in the city
I always thought the sunshine in your hair was so pretty
they say the grass is greener
when you're looking from the outside in
but theres not much here in this lonely city
and the greenest thing I see is the brightness of your eyes
shining in my dreams late at night
What’s a boy to do?
And what’s it gonna take
To get over you?
What’s a boy to do?
Two decades haven’t given all they should
And there’s nothing left for me to take
Such a long time to be gone in the blink of an eye
And I can’t breathe,
I’m trapped under the weight of a heavy sigh
I can’t help but wonder where I’ve gone
What’s a boy to do?
And what’s it gonna take
To get over you?
What’s a boy to do?
The crowded empty streets
a conduit to the pathways of my mind
seem to be going everywhere
but I guess I'm going nowhere
and the red lights seem to haunt my history
and the red lights are all around me
What’s a boy to do?
And what’s it gonna take
To get over you?
What’s a boy to do?
Its gonna take time for these dirty wounds
And given just one more chance
I really wonder what I would choose
Someday I’ll be back
But for now
I’ve got these demons still to loose
What’s a boy to do?
And what’s it gonna take
To get over you?
What’s a boy to do?
What’s a boy to do?
And what’s it gonna take
To get over you?
What’s a boy to do?
What's a boy to do?
when I'm dreaming of things I'll never know
Its your face I always see
when I'm thinking of love that won't ever grow
I realize its us that will never be
and the sorrow feels like
a burning deep inside of me
and what I fear the most
is not that I will be alone
but that you won't ever know
how much I couldve loved you
they say its better
to have never loved at all
than to have loved and lost
but if I had the chance
i would have endure the cost
and what I fear the most
is not that I will be alone
but that you won't ever know
how much I couldve loved you
i suppose that I'm to blame
I held my tongue
I never took the chance to say your name
too afraid I would come undone
and what I fear the most
is not that I will be alone
but that you won't ever know
how much I couldve loved you
what I fear the most
is not that I will be alone
but that you won't ever know
how much I couldve loved you
what I fear the most
is that you will never know
how much I loved you
