"Sitting on the Edge"

Sitting on the edge--
Of every decision that I make.
Trying not to make
Another painful mistake.

Sitting on the edge--
Of everything I do.
Sitting on the edge--
Holding on to something new.

Sitting on the edge--
At each and every turn.
Even though in life,
You have to live and learn.

Sitting on the edge--
Trying to figure out the way.
Sitting on the edge--
Praying to God everyday.

"Maybe I'll Quit Looking"

Maybe I'll quit looking--
And let love find me.
Maybe in life,
That's the way it should be.

Maybe I'll quit looking--
For a love of my own.
And start to focus on
A place to call home.

Maybe I'll quit looking--
For a guy to help me out.
For someone to push me forward,
When I'm having my doubts.

Maybe I'll quit looking--
In this vast sea of men.
And put all my feelings down
On paper and pen.

Maybe I'll quit looking--
At the way that life should be.
And maybe if I quit looking,
Then love will find me.

"Another Heartache (If I Make A Mistake)"

Damn, another heartache to take--
Another moment to break--
Another painful mistake,
In this life that we make.

I didn't know you for long--
I never came off too strong--
I didn't think we belong,
But I'll still sing your song.

It's my heart that breaks--
After the choices, I make--
It's my heart that breaks,
If I make a mistake.

"Change"

Change--
Is a friend of the future
But an enemy of the past.

Change--
Has the power
To affect everything that lasts.

Change--
Is a process
That's supposed to help us grow.


Change--
Challenges
Everything that we know.

"Trying to Get Close"

I'm trying to get close--

But we're so far apart.

I was just wondering--

If I can get a piece of his heart.

I'm trying to get close--

But he's so far away.

But I still like him--

At the end of the day

I'm trying to get close--

Really, that's all.

But I always tend to crash--

Whenever I fall.

"So What If I Like Him"

I've been trying to get to know him,
And see what he's all about
We're really kind of opposite--
So I'm having my doubts.

He likes action and adventure,
I like to Netflix and chill.
But there's no holding back--
The way that I feel.

He's nice so I like him,
But that doesn't say much.
He's new and exciting--
But we will surely lose touch.

So what if I like him,
He's more exciting than me.
And I'm just as boring--
As any person, can be.

Maybe, just maybe,
A friendship will grow.
But only time will tell--
And only God really knows.

"Castles in the Air"

Castles in the air--
Is this all I'll ever know?
Holding on to dreams--
That I could never let go.

Castles in the air--
Is that all I'll ever make?
Looking back at life--
And all of my mistakes.

Castles in the air--
Is that all I'll ever do?
Believing in all good things--
And that all dreams can come true.

Castles in the air--
Is that all I am created for?
To wish the impossible--
And live nothing more.

Castles in the air--
Is a dreamer all I'll ever be?
To make castles in the sky--
And to wonder what it's like to be free.

Castles in the air--
Dreaming everyday of something new.
Castles in the air--
I'm afraid of losing you.

"Maybe I'm Crazy"

Maybe I'm crazy,
With low self-esteem.
For chasing after--
The most wonderful dreams.

Maybe I'm crazy,
With low self-esteem.
For chasing after--
The most beautiful things.

Maybe I'm crazy,
With low self-esteem.
For believing that life--
Is never as bad as it seems.

Maybe I'm crazy,
With low self-esteem.
For believing in life--
That we can accomplish all things.

Maybe I'm crazy,
With low self-esteem.
For only seeing in life--
The impossible dreams.

"Well, Damn!"

Damn, damn, damn!
I hate imperfection.
On a scale from 1-10--
10 would be my selection!

Damn, damn, damn!
I hate all these flaws.
I believe in self expression--
Now, I'll fight for that cause!

Damn, damn, damn!
I hate a mistake.
So, I made the wrong choices--
Come on now give me a break!

Damn, damn, damn!
I hate a setback.
Now I have to push forward--
With everything that I lack.

Damn, damn, damn!
I hate this depression.
And you ask me if I'm fine--
Now that's a terrible question.

Damn, damn, damn!
I'm such a big mess.
I can't handle this pressure--
I can't take all this stress.

Damn, damn, damn!
I know God's got it all.
He will pick me back up--
Whenever I fall.

"I Remember You"

Hey! Do you remember me?
'Cause I remember you...
I remember your laugh and smile--
And all the silly things you used to do.

Hey! Do you remember me?
'Cause I remember you...
I hope you're doing okay now--
After all I put you through.

Hey! Do you remember me?
Or have I fade away?
And though time has passed now--
All the memories of you have stayed.

Hey! Do you remember me?
Or have those memories disappeared?
It's almost been a year now--
And I'm still hiding in the fear.

Hey! Do you remember me?
'Cause I remember you...
And since we last spoke--
It's been hell what I've been through.

Hey! Do you remember me?
'Cause I remember you.
I've been drifting sadly--
With not much else to really do.

Hey! Do you remember me?
Even a little bit at all?
I guess we rise to stand--
After every time, we fall.
