On the Track

I need to not let this bother me
Dry my tears, lift my head
Get up out of my bed
Start the coffee, clear my schedule

Get on the track and go
Not much to lose but
Everything to gain now
Get up, up, up and try again

Some days you just want to lie
Pull on the mask and smile away
Faking the confidence you wish you had
Hoping that someday it’ll be real

Get on the track and go
Not much to lose but
Everything to gain now
Get up, up, up and try again

Leave me alone, call me up
Doesn’t seem to ever matter much
My mind says I need to try harder
My body says I’m done for today

Get on the track and go
Not much to lose but
Everything to gain now
Get up, up, up and try again

Get up and fall and wish for more
Nothing I do ever happens right
Still, it’s not like I can stop forever
Giving up just isn’t my style

Get on the track and go
Not much to lose but
Everything to gain now
Get up, up, up and try again

Get on the track and go
Not much to lose but
Everything to gain now
So get up, up, up and try again

Never Forget

I’ll never forget how you laughed
The fun we had together
You were a friend to me
When no one else could be

I miss you so much some days
Have to pause and say your name
Just to hear it once again
Listen for the echo of your voice

What were we doing back then
So young and carefree and reckless
Have to journey another lifetime
To find someone like you again

Listen to me when I say
You were the best thing I ever had
Someday, I hope to pass on
The joy and peace you brought me

Whenever I needed a hand
Someone to tell my fears to
You were so patient with me
Always there to bring comfort

Days passed so quickly
In weeks, we were inseparable
So many adventures we shared
Together creating a whole new world

But you’re not here anymore
I’m left all alone now
Even though I still feel you near
You’re gone and never coming back

Miss you so much, but so grateful
For all the things you taught me
That I’m worthy of your kindness
Was the most important lesson of all

I miss you so much
Never going to forget you
Never forget a single day
I promise, I promise, I promise

You’re not here anymore
I’m left all alone now
Even though I still feel you near
You’re gone and never coming back

Greetings

So slowly, you fall
Float down, carried by the wind
Gentle is your way

Already Said

I keep looking up to find you
Wanting to watch you walk in
Hear your voice call out to me
Feel your hand touch mine

But you’re not here anymore
We’ve already said our last goodbye
Even though I feel you near me
You’re so very far away now

I see something funny
Turn around to share it with you
The words are already on my lips
Your shadow’s there until I blink

But you’re not here anymore
We’ve already said our last goodbye
Even though I feel you near me
You’re so very far away now

Feels like I should be falling apart
I’m fine though, perfectly okay
Can’t even remember why we started
Most days, it’s just a dream of mine

‘Cause you’re not here anymore
We’ve already said our last goodbye
Even though I feel you near me
You’re so very far away now

You’re not here anymore
We’ve already said our last goodbye
Even though I feel you near me
You’re so very far away now

The more distant you are to me
The closer you seem in my dreams
Saying my name one more time
Before the flame is finally gone

And you’re not here anymore
We’ve already said our last goodbye
Even though I feel you near me
You’re so very far away now

Coping

Why am I crying
Why am I sad
Can’t answer these questions
I’m going mad

Dealing with you
Is driving me to drinking
I can’t understand what
You need or want from me

You were so right for me
Until you really weren’t
Then I slowly realized
That you never really were

Now I have to let you go
Cut you loose and move on
But you just won’t leave
My heart, my skin, my soul

My hands refuse to release
I know what’s best, but I can’t
Too weak to heal, too weak to heal
Just hanging around waiting

Why am I sad
Why am I mad
Can’t handle all these damn
Questions and feelings

How to throw it away
How to stop wanting to die
Thinking of living without
Seeing you every day

Your smile means everything
Even more than my blood
More than anything, I think
I just want you to be happy

Do I make you happy
Am I meaningful to you
I guess I’ll stick around
Only if you say so, though

Why can’t I do

What’s right for me
Is this weakness
Am I so selfless

No, it’s selfishness here
I don’t want to find out
Who I am without you
Beside me, keeping me here

Now and then, I picture
Leaving you behind me
But then I can never see
What could possibly happen next

So I’m staying here
Slowly going insane
And you stay, because
You made me this way

Why am I here Why can’t I go How am I supposed to leave When there’s nowhere else to go

Good Wishes

Taste the tears
Fight the fears
Dry your eyes and smile

What a happy day
Everybody laugh
No one hears the scream

Come on, all of us
Let’s raise our hands and pray
The revolution is here
Our neighbors are fighting
We need to give them strength
Good thoughts and wishes all

Fun, fun, everyone
Dance around for me
See my pleased grin

Puppets on a string
Every one of us
Happiness dries up

Come on, all of us
Let’s raise our hands and pray
The revolution is here
Our neighbors are fighting
We need to give them strength
Good thoughts and wishes all

Chilly in this loneliness
Cling just a little closer
Comfort in the familiar

Lips stretch wide
Show some teeth now
Be happy, happy on cue

Come on, all of us
Let’s raise our hands and pray
The revolution is here
Our neighbors are fighting
We need to give them strength
Good thoughts and wishes all

The lights are dim

Shaking in anticipation
Waiting for the strike

Eyes closed, no one sees
Merry in the moment
Time to stop, stop, stop

Come on, all of us

Let’s raise our hands and pray
The revolution is here
Our neighbors are fighting
We need to give them strength
Good thoughts and wishes all
