How I Feel

it feels like i was pushed down
from a dream up in the clouds
rather than trying to get up
i keep reminiscing the past

life is heading downhill
and i'm saying goodbye
with tears in my eyes
to the life i had with you

maybe we set the bar too high
but it felt right
maybe we took too many chances
that's why we are left in pieces

now i know what slow death is like
each step i take away from you
hoping for a fresh start
lifelessness takes over

but you'll always be the ache
that i won't cure completely
to remind myself
how it feels to be in love

Heartbreak Junction

i tried to be romantic
took tips from movies and poets
because i hadn't
done this before

then i tried to be a friend
since you hardly had any
listened to your problems
without any judgement

but you hardly noticed
how much i loved you
things i did
only because i cared for you

when you didn't seem to notice
i put out the sadness and the pain
hoping you'll realise
it's because of you

the sadness and the frustration
aggrevated into anger
not because i hate you
only out of love

i took many paths
hoping it'll lead us
to a happy ending
but here i am stranded
on a heartbreak junction

Favorite Drug

i've tried
hash,coke,shrooms
and everything else
they used to get me high like a bird in the sky

but then you came along
and became my favorite drug
you sent me higher
like an astronaut

baby baby
don't you ever leave me now

they call me a druggie
and all sorts of names
but they dont know
that you are my addiction

i've got used to you
and nothing else works on me
not even escobar
could've got me a drug like you

Against the World

you came to me
when my life
was in ruins
i had lost all hope

your love guided me
through the troubled times
kept my sanity
from eluding me

but look what's happened
where's that love
which gave me hope
of a silver lining

i know it's not gone
because i feel it
it's just buried
by the circumstances

i try to sleep away the pain
i try to cry out the sadness
nothing helps nothing works
your love is the only cure

i want you now
more than ever
i feel so alone
in the midst of this mess

i don't want you to be mad
i don't want to fight
come on lets works this out
it's you and me against the world

Can't Love Make Us Happy?

is my love not enough
for you to be happy
don't i care enough
for you to feel safe

why is it
that you listen to strangers
but not to
the person who loves you the most

i know i have faults
but i'm trying
to correct them
and to be perfect for you

it kills me to see you
like this
whatever i seem to do
makes things worse

sometimes it's hard
i'm caught in the middle
trying to satisfy the ones i love
end up doing the opposite

Love Won't Go Away

i keep looking at you
not because you are the prettiest sight my eyes will ever see
since i'm still trying to figure out
how you made me fall in love

every time i get call or a text
my heart races with excitement
knowing that it could be you
that feeling never fades away

every time you get closer to me
the goosebumps are still there
you being irreplaceable isn't a thought
i know it for a fact

you are reason
i'm getting through life
when nothing seems to work
i tell myself i have you

whenever you have a bad day
i try hard to make it better
sometimes i fall short
that won't make me stop

we'll have rough days
we might feel distant
the odds might be against us
it doesn't mean i love you any less

Your Happiness

i keep looking at our pictures
reading our conversations
playing back the memories of us
in my head

i pick up the phone
to call you
then i throw it away
because i'm not supposed to

it's harder than i thought
but i'll do it
i may shed a few tears
but i'll bear it

my love for you
won't go away
i'll be there for you
every single day

your happiness
is my first priority
if that requires
my own heart break tragedy

i'll play along
and do whatever it takes
so that you can be
happy again

She Has to Go Back

the days passed swiftly
and it’s getting closer now
sometime sooner
she has to go back home

i break the clock into pieces
hoping time would stand still
i tear away the calendar
wishing today never ends

i keep locking all the doors
so that she cannot leave
i threw away her ticket
so she can’t fly back home

i try to fight against it
i try to keep her here
without realizing
i’m fighting a losing cause

i guess it’s time to accept it
she has to go back home
time to stop the fighting
and make the most of now

Come Home Soon

she's far away
in a distant land
when i want to hold her
she's out of reach

everyday spent apart
is a day without her
but i'm not going to
let that come in between

long hours on the phone
talking about nothing
but i still get excited
every time i hear her voice

i keep counting the days
for you to come back
i don't want to count anymore
baby come home soon

Always In Love With Her

when the sun rises
and i wake up
i call
to tell her i love her

when the sun shines bright
and i'm at work
i text
to tell her i love her

when the sun sets in the orange sky
and i'm on the way home
i call
to tell her i love her

when the moon starts smiling
and i'm laying next to her
i whisper
to tell her i love her

every day and night
when the sun shines and sets
i know
i'm always in love with her

I Think of You

when things keep falling apart
and everything i try
keeps failing
i think of you

when i feel i'm alone
and no one loves me
all i want is to get rid of that feeling
i think of you

life is daunting
leaving me clueless at times
whenever i need clarity
i think of you

if i want to getaway
from everything
to some peace and quiet
i think of you

sometimes i have too many
sad thoughts in my head
and i look for something happy
i think of you

every word has a different meaning
but when i hear
love joy beauty life
i think of you

Things I Like About Her

everyone thinks she's just a pretty face
but i know that's not true
it's just one of many things
i like about her

she can keep a conversation alive
without freezing halfway through
she knows when i'm being sarcastic
and plays along fine

we talk about all the random things
and spend hours on the phone
whenever i have a bad day
she's always there to make me smile

when she cuddles with me
it's like holding onto the softest pillow
her kisses are even better
leaves the sweetest taste on my tongue

every time i see her
her hair is a different color
she's always full of surprises
you'll never know what she'll pull off next

these are some of the reasons
why i like my baby girl
but the way her love makes me feel
is why i fall in love with her everyday

I Want More

whenever i see you smile
i want more
the smile has to
stay on forever

and it's the same when you kiss me
i want more
keep kissing me
so that i am breathless

your love is no exception
i want more
love me
till the end of time

let's runaway to an island
i want more
of you
my baby

i'm selfish when i'm with you
i want more
i want you
all to myself

Watching Her Sleep

she asks me to leave
when she goes to sleep
but i don't feel like
leaving her

i watch her fall asleep
and wish i was there
so that she doesn't have to
on her own

my eyes are
glued onto her pretty face
i can't take my eyes away
she makes me smile everyday

and i feel like
i am the
luckiest guy
to have her in my life

sleep tight baby
when you wake up
i'll be here
right next to you

Stories and Lullabies

here i'm waiting
thinking about you
waiting for you
to come back

i am writing
stories and lullabies
to read to you
through the night

when you come back
let me put my
arms around you
and hold you tight

then i'll close my eyes
and pray to the gods
to pause this moment
with you in my arms

Two Shades of Patriotism

saviors of the nation
protectors of the innocent
the country before themselves
is what they try to portray

a war is fought
innocent lives are lost
but they don't care
because it's not their own

a mother weeps for her son
whilst a wife waits for her husband
a son cries himself to sleep
knowing his father would never return

the war seems to be
the answer for everything
even for the starving stomachs

a father skips a meal
to feed his little ones

whilst the countrymen
starves themselves though the days
the saviors party
the nights away

but who are we to question
if we don't sing
the same song as them
our throats are cut
and left to bleed
