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
