My Life

Don't go telling me I have no rhythm
I dance to my own music
Playing in my head

No, don't say I've got the words wrong
I sing my own songs
About how I feel

You know, I'm sick and tired of you
Tired of your trashy talk
I wear what I want on my catwalk

I'm me
So that's who I'll be
I don't need you tellin' me how to beat my drums

You do it your way
I'll do it mine
I don't have the chords wrong if that's how I write 'em

I'll keep away from you
If that's what you want
'Cause now it's plain as day
We'll never get along

I got my beat
You got yours
They don't mix
And that's just how it goes

Lost You

When did all the sweet things you'd say to me
Turn into ancient history?
When did all of our lost love notes turn yellow?
Why are we living the way we do?

And now that I let you go
I want you back more than I ever wanted you before
I guess it's true that you don't know what you got 'till it's gone
But, 'till now, I didn't notice I lost you

I'm sorry I ever let it go this far
But now I want nothing more than to spend one last second in your arms
When you care about me
And you're not just going through the motion 'cause that's how it's always been

But nothing is how it was anymore
If only I knew when I lost you
I would go back to that day and start all over
This time doing everything better
'Cause I wouldn't dare lose you again

Starless Night

Here without you
I'm dying inside
I miss everything about you
I'm all alone tonight

Couldn't get out of bed this morning
Wishing you were here
So I layed there in silence
My face soaked with tears
But I know I'm not the only one
The sky cried too
And now the stars won't shine tonight
Cuz they only shine for you

I wish I could be with you
Every moment of every day
And never have to leave you
But things don't work that way

You're all I can think about now
I wish you were still here
But you're gone, and that's what kills me
As my eyes fill up with tears
I know I'm not the only one
'Cause the sky cries too
And now the stars won't shine at night
'Cause they only shined for you

Not Worth It

When you said goodbye
I know you thought I'd be sad
You thought I'd break down and cry
You thought I'd be mad
You thought I'd hate you
I might even seek revenge
But I didn't cry
And I'm not angry
I'm still smiling
I'm still singing
So now your wondering why...

Well, let me tell you this:
I've been through some hard times
I know what it's like to cry 'till my tears run out
I know how it feels to waste my time with anger
It's hard, and it's hurts
And you weren't worth the struggle
You weren't worth the pain
Not to me, you weren't

Before you left me
I saw you were changing
And there was nothing I could do
Any slight feeling I had for you
You took with you
If I were to hate you,
It'd be a waste of emotion
Hatred would hurt me without affecting you
Hatred would eat me up, and kill me inside
Hatred is just as much of a feeling as love
And having any feeling for you would be pointless
You're not worth it
Not to me, you aren't

So, now you know,
You weren't worth my tears
You aren't worth my ire
You mean little more to me than a stranger
In fact, this will be last time I think of you
There's a change in the wind
Soon, my life will be so much more than it could have been with you in it
My thoughts will be too occupied
So this is the last goodbye
'Cause tomorrow is a new day
I have other things to ponder
And worrying about you would ruin that
And you're just not worth it
Not to me

As We Stand

Intro:
Amazing Grace,
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now am found
Was blind, but now I see

Prechorus:
And Lord, I love you
I give you my life

Chorus:
And as I stand here
And lift up my hands
The spirit of God
Has met me in this place

And I stand here
Calling out His name
Praising His endless love
As He holds me in His arms
I stand here

Verse:
And you’ll never know a greater power than His
That He gives us all we have
And just as easy He could take it back
You’ll never know a love as great as His
That He lay down His life
For those He created

Prechorus:
And Lord, I love you
I give you my life

Chorus:
And as we stand here
And we lift up our hands
The spirit of God
Has met us in this place

And we stand here
Calling out His name
Praising His endless love
As He holds us in His hands
We stand here

Bridge:
Lord, I want to thank you
For teaching me to love
For helping me forgive
For making me hope

Lord, I will follow you forever
I know you are the Way
You’ve showed me the Truth
And given me new life

Prechorus:
And Lord, I love you
I give you my life

Chorus:
And as we stand here
And we lift up our hands
The spirit of God
Has met us in this place

And we stand here
Calling out His name
Praising His endless love
As He holds us in His hands
We stand here

The Battle

So dead inside
She feels dead to the world

No one can help

Though time and time again we've tried

She walks through life

With no smile on her face

As it's cast downwards

Staring at her feet.

Her arms bare the bitter truth
Of her painful reminders to herself

That she is in fact alive

Although she may wish she wasn't

But she doesn't hear us
To her, we are just as alive as she feels

We are not even a part of her anymore

She blocked us out as the demons took over

And who are we???

We are her guardian angels

However, in this case, falling short of our title

But striving evermore to live up to it

Under our protection

This young angel of the earth

Has fallen into mass destruction

Brought upon her by the devil's hand

But we strive to help her see

That she can be delivered from her sorrow

If only she would pray for forgiveness

And pray for His help

But, like I said, we are dead to her
She is dead inside

And the devil has her by the throat

Weakening her every second

So we are asking you

To pray for her too

With enough prayers said

God may rid the devil's hand from her throat

With enough prayers said

She may finally see His love

She may finally realize

Her life was payed for by His blood

So pray, not just for her

But for the world

They all need Him

Yet so many are being choked by the devil

*****53***Stars*****

Laying in the dark,

A small smile on my face,

I stare up at the glimmering stars

Knowing that somewhere else, you too are staring up at the some ones.

Face turned to the window,

I count the stars once more.

Fifty-three, the same number of days since I last saw your gorgeous smile.

Fifty-three, the same number of tear-filled nights since the sky had last unvielled its hidden comfort.

Like the past fifty- three nights before this,

I feel the deep pain of tears behind my eyes, down through my throat,

But tonight it different

Because tonight I will not let tears blur my vision of the stars.

Fifty-three stars, fifty-three chances for me to wish you back to me.

Fifty-three stars, fifty-three chances for me to wish that I could have seen you just one last time before I let you go.

Fifty-three stars, fifty-three chances for me to wish that I had known then what I know now.

Fifty-three stars upon which I can wish, fifty-three stars that would let me down.

It wouldn't matter if there were a billion stars lighting up the sky;

You'd still be gone,

I still wouldn't have known fifty-four days ago how I'd feel tonight,

How I've felt for the past fifty-three days. and for all the days to follow

To wish upon the stars would leave me hurting,

So instead, I just look at each one thinking of your twinkling eyes.

Fifty-three stars, the same number of times I whisper "I miss you," each day hoping that somehow you'll hear.

Fifty-three stars, the same number of lifetimes it would take me to give up on you.

Maybe not tomorrow, and probably not next week,

But someday I will have more hope.

Someday I might get my second chance;

Someday, there might be 54 stars...
