VERSE 1:
I've never been good at letting anyone help me
I always thought I had to stand on my own
But the nights grew too cold, my heart turned to stone
Until you stood there and helped me cope
CHORUS:
If you're gonna save me
I don't mind falling
I'll let you come to the rescue
If you'll be my hero
I'll be your damsel
VERSE 2:
I've been so long stuck in my past
Trying to climb up this hill made of glass
I never thought you'd be the one
The one who'd come and help me up
CHORUS
VERSE 3:
So tired of trying to pull myself up
I was just waiting for the storm to clear
You came and made me smile among my fears
And now all I know is
CHORUS
Music: An Outburst of the Soul
So every now and then I get an itch to write, and I'm kinda done with just saving them to my computer and them never seeing the light of day. I write mostly song lyrics, and most of them are very personal, some are just there. So here you go world. This is the outbursting of my soul, quite literally.

One Moment From Goodbye
VERSE 1:
My heart was all tangled up in your love
We were walking a line between right and wrong
I was just a phase that you went through
Something you wanted but were willing to lose
CHORUS:
I always felt one moment from goodbye
So I learned to dance in the eye of the storm
I never thought the rain would come this soon
Why oh why we try, why oh why did I try
VERSE 2:
I walked in knowing how this would end
I'd find your love then have to give it right back
I was thinking that you might change your mind
Decide that I was somebody worth your time
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
I set myself up for failure
That I wish I didn't regret
I was hoping that I would be wrong
But I wasn't in the end
REFRAIN:
I always felt one moment from goodbye
I always knew that you'd walk away
We both knew that it'd be a mess
So why'd we do it this way, Why'd we do it this way
CHORUS
My heart was all tangled up in your love
We were walking a line between right and wrong
I was just a phase that you went through
Something you wanted but were willing to lose
CHORUS:
I always felt one moment from goodbye
So I learned to dance in the eye of the storm
I never thought the rain would come this soon
Why oh why we try, why oh why did I try
VERSE 2:
I walked in knowing how this would end
I'd find your love then have to give it right back
I was thinking that you might change your mind
Decide that I was somebody worth your time
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
I set myself up for failure
That I wish I didn't regret
I was hoping that I would be wrong
But I wasn't in the end
REFRAIN:
I always felt one moment from goodbye
I always knew that you'd walk away
We both knew that it'd be a mess
So why'd we do it this way, Why'd we do it this way
CHORUS

No Boundaries
I keep trying,
To forget everything
Pretending my past doesn't haunt me
You walk right in,
My heart weakens
You see everything, I've been hiding
With you there's no boundaries
Like my shields fail
Don’t believe my fairytales
My heart opens wide, nothing left to hide
With you there's no boundaries
I can lie to
The whole world and myself too
I've get them all fooled, they can't see through
You walk right in,
My heart weakens
You see everything, I've been hiding
With you there's no boundaries
With you there's no boundaries
Glass Vegas
One more mile, one more exit
Until this town is out of sight
There's no turning back now
She's getting out of here
Can't stay here anymore
Or she'll become just what she fears
One more lost sole in this town
Another dream burnt out
Chorus
"The city lights shine so bright
Down on the strip at night
Lights filled with dreams that never made it
It feels so real it seems so right
When your in midst of the lights,
But they're easily broken,
Glass Vegas"
What she saw she thought she liked
Adrift between fantasy and life
Found herself between the setting
And the rising of the sun
A time when darkness wends it way
And sparkles mask all mistakes
She couldn't see how transparent
They made their world
Chorus
When the sun comes up
And the sparkle fades to sand
All her dreams blew away
She was lost again
It wasn't real, it wasn't right
She can see through it in this light
That's why she getting out of
Glass Vegas
Take Me Back
Version 1
Words don’t come so easily to me
Sitting here not knowing what to say
I hope in the end that you'll understand
I never meant it to go this way
Chorus
"Love makes everything so complicated,
Tired of my heart being pushed around.
Why do we have to change? Can't it stay the same?
Please take my hand and take me back…to then."
You always said you wouldn’t make me
Told me I could take all my time
But there you are with your ultimatums
I can't decide to just make you mine
Chorus
Bridge:
Take me back to where we were
Take me back before we change
Take it back take it all back
Take us back before the pain
Chorus out
Version 2
Words don’t come so easily to me
Sitting here not knowing what to say
I hope in the end that I'll understand
Why it had to go this way
Chorus
"Life makes everything so complicated,
Tired of my heart being pushed around.
Why do I have to change? Can't I stay the same?
Please take my hand and take me away, from this."
You always said you wouldn’t make me
Told me I could take all my time
Yet here you are with your ultimatums
But I'm not ready yet, to decide
Chorus
Bridge:
Take me back to where I was
Take me back before the change
Take it back take it all back
Take me away from all this pain
Chorus out
Written With my roomie Amanda and some help from Christina! :) Two very talented people!

Ice
Never thought I'd be here waiting
Never thought this is where life take me
Never saw this path before my feet
I've traveled far and here I am now
Far from home and not so scared now
Life has found me where I need to be
The sacred ice is here before me
Thinning quickly, cracking slowly
Ready to let it pull me down
Let myself fall in completely
Allow the water to start to heal me
Find stability in shaky ground
Trust myself and trust my purpose
Find the answers below the surface
Let the water fill my hollow soul
Repeat v1 and v2
White Flags
My pillow still smells like you,
I can’t get you out of my mind
I never thought such easy words would leave you
So far behind
Now we haven't talked in forever,
It feels like a lifetime
Thinking that I should have said I'm sorry
Instead of goodbye
Chorus:
"Let's put down these walls,
Let our words fall,
Raise up the white flags,
At least for tonight
Dance, Laugh
Smile just like old times
Let me breath you in
Remember you again
This time let's not say goodbye (Tonight)"
I can’t say I'm sorry,
You don’t even know what went wrong
You never saw it so how can I blame you
Let’s just let these bye-gones be bye-gones
Chorus
We've been to far
To be this far away
I know it's hard
But it's time to let these scars fade
Chorus
My pillow still smells like you,
I can’t get you out of my mind
Let's put down these walls
And just say hello tonight
