Doing What's Right

always try to do what's right
things to make you smile
i sacrifice my time
to do these things for you

i don't mind
putting my life on hold
to do what it takes
to make you happy

but it gets harder
to keep going like this
when all you do
is make me feel,
like i've fell short

Full Moon on a Long Dark Night

unexpectedly involved,
while tangled up in bed
the risk i took
was fruitful

nervous i was
when i reached for your lips
and when you kissed me back
i was overwhelmed with joy

you were like a full moon
after a long dark night
though time wasn't on our side
i'm glad how things turned out

i'm going far away
uncertain when i'll be back
but memories of you
would always make me smile

I've Changed

grew up listening to backstreet boys
now i listen to fallout boy
used to believe there was only one to love
but now i'm learning to spread the love

it's funny how things have changed
all those things that i believed
i can't find them,
in my head anymore

i used to like strawberry cheese cake
but now i like a different kind of cake
my tastes have changed
so have my thoughts

maybe this is growing up
you learn and change from what you've put up
in time i hope i'll be fine
like a bottle of good wine

Lonely Valentine

everywhere he looks
it's roses, cupids and hearts
things he used to cherish
but not so anymore

he turns on the tv
to distract himself
but all that he can see
are couples and their tales

valentines day is here
that's what all the buzz is about
time to celebrate love

but all he can feel
is sadness and grief
his love went away
to fly among the clouds
with her she took away
the happiness in his life

this lonely valentine
is lost without his love
he looks to the clouds
in hope to find his love

Come Back Home

come back home
come to me
it's been long
since you've gone

i've stopped keeping track of time
there's not enough room,
in this head of mine
to keep a count of all the days
that have passed

everything is like
when you left
the only thing,
that's changed
is the month and date
i'd keep them the same too
if i could

i'm trying hard
to keep things the same
but i'm starting to feel
that i'm going insane

come back home
come to me
before i go
far away

Everyone Else's Girl

dressed up
like a movie star
you go out
every friday night

you date guys
like it's a competition
without thinking of the
consequences

did you ever stop
to think
how it would be
few years from now
when age catches up
and new girls come

in the sidelines
you will be
because you were always
everyone else's girl

How Do You Know?

you know that
i've always wanted you
told you many times
but i'll tell it,
a million times again if i have to

i'll leave everyone
to be with you
all you have to do,
is to show me a sign

but you keep saying
it'll never work
that we can't be,
more than what we are now

how can it be?
tell me how you know?
without us even trying

Happiness Isn't to be Taken for Granted

tried to run away,
from everything i had
when you left me to be sad and lonely

went to sleep every night
wishing that morning would never come

i dug a hole
and tried to hide
starting over
seemed impossible

it took me time
but i learned my lesson
here i am
on my two feet again

everything is fine now
and never will i take
the happiness in my life
for granted

Love Over Lust

a different girl every night
no emotional attachments
everything was just physical

at first it seemed ideal
no commitments
no attachments
it was very convenient

but now i need to rearrange my priorities
as this doesn't feel right anymore
the one night stands
no longer fulfill my desires

the longing for true love has overtaken the lust
i want it to be more than physical attraction
the things i pushed away
i'm trying to pull back

Black and White

nothing is black and white
took me a while to realize
everything seems gray now
i'm caught up between right and wrong

i look back at the decisions i've made
and i keep thinking
if i've made the right choice

right or wrong
there's nothing much i can do
but from here onwards
i'll give it more thought

then again there's not much we can do
what's right for me
could be wrong for you
i guess i'm back at square one
caught up between right and wrong
