They say time heals everything – I’m still waiting.
They say good things come to those who wait – yet here I am feeling the same.
They say what’s meant to be will find a way – no one is searching for the path to me.
They say travel the road less taken – I’m stuck here again on this dead end.
They say go after the things you want in life –
But what are you supposed to do,
when the things you want don’t want you?

When she laid
She let the weight of the day
Press to the mattress
Closed her eyes
Sent thanks to the big guy
And let her feet rest
Chasing dreams
Nothing ever as it seems
Getting lost in the night
At day’s end
Forgive, forget or pretend
Everything’s alright
I would erase you, delete every moment from my mind.
It wouldn’t effect any other portion of the time that’s gone by.
Then you wouldn’t exist and neither would the pain –
That’s what you do to a girl when you tell her you don’t feel a thing.

She held on tightly
As you slowly let her go
She told you her feelings
You wouldn’t let her know
She kept trying
Holding so tight you slipped away
She went on crying
Only hoping you would stay
She felt empty
As you went on having fun
Her world was ending
As you felt yours had just begun
She kept thinking
Was she just another mistake?
She went on crying
Knowing her wake up call was too late
She held hope
Thinking you’d realize your loss
Her heart was breaking
Not knowing all was lost
She prayed you’d change
Beg for forgiveness from her
She went on crying
Not knowing if you’d be back for sure
She couldn’t move on
Knowing that then you would, too
She couldn’t let go
Of the thought of the both of you
She didn’t try
To be with anyone else
She went on crying
Thinking if she lost you, she lost herself
She finally broke down
Letting everyone around her see
How she couldn’t let go
It wasn’t love it was robbery
She still hopes
That someday you’ll come back
She went on crying
She just couldn’t face the facts
She sounds so weak
This girl attached to you
No wonder you let her go
Other men have, too
I feel sorry for her
This girl you used to see
She screwed everything up
Oh that’s right, that girl was me

Save a dream for me tonight
When you go and close your eyes
Let my face flow threw your mind
Save a dream for me tonight
Save a heartbeat for my name
Let it flow like sweet champagne
When love no longer is a game
Save a heartbeat for my name
Save a whisper for my ear
One that only I will hear
In your eyes I’ll disappear
Save a whisper for my ear
Save a kiss for my lips
One that your heart will miss
Look back on it and reminisce
Save a kiss for my lips
Save a glance for my eyes
Let it be your heart’s surprise
Deeply gaze without a lie
Save a glance for my eyes
Save a piece of your heart for me
It will not break, I’ll let it free
Your heart with mine, I’ll safely keep
Save a piece of your heart for me
