Footprints

August 29th, 2007

Such a kiss
With only half feeling
My heart is still
In the process of healing
The night is coming
To an end
And in the morning
You’ll still just be my friend
If you don’t love me
Don’t even try to fake it
I gave you my heart
It’s okay if you break it
I want to know
What’s on your secretive mind
And see behind
What leaves me blind
A girl like you
Can only do my heart no good
You left footprints in my heart
In every place you stood
Never before
Have I felt anything like this
And every time I’m alone
It’s you I start to miss

Band Tee

December 20th, 2018

I was young when I first met you
You caught my eye and I thought “you’re cute”
You looked at me and you felt it too
I took a leap with no parachute

[Chorus:]
Run away and bring me along
If I’m with you nothing can go wrong
You’ll sing with me to my favorite song
In your jeans with your band tee on

You pick me up in your silver car
Take me away, I don’t care how far
Serenade me with your guitar
I’ll write you songs for my repertoire

[Chorus:]
Run away and bring me along
If I’m with you nothing can go wrong
You’ll sing with me to my favorite song
In your jeans with your band tee on

In your arms you’re my sanctuary
You keep me safe like it’s necessary
And keep me warm when it’s January
I’m so thankful it’s you I married

[Chorus:]
Run away and bring me along
If I’m with you nothing can go wrong
You’ll sing with me to my favorite song
In your jeans with your band tee on

Note: This song is meant to be pop-country. I don’t usually write ‘happy’ things, and I scarcely write songs. However, I enjoyed how this turned out.

Happy Birthday

July 17th, 2017

You told me that you loved me
With your hands around my neck
I cowered under your dominance
To prevent another threat
You told me you were sorry
But I couldn’t stop crying
Sometimes I go back to this moment
To remember why I gave up trying
You told me I would never find someone
Who would treat me as good as you
And I walked out your door
To do just what you challenged me to
It took much too long to realize
Your self inflicted wounds weren’t caused by me
And your obsession with controlling
Had finally found its ending
