I must have dropped it somewhere along the way
so I went back to look for it the other day
It was a treasure very close to my heart
I should have realized before, it would be awful to part
I thought nothing could make me sad again
So, I guess I am somewhat relieved to feel some pain
Though I know it will be hard to find
I'll keep looking, but it makes my memory rewind
To the days I spent thinking it would be mine forever
So I didn't bother taking a second glance at it, never
I wish things had been different, how good that would be
But sometimes we must lose somethings to understand what we really need

when we were young and fools in love
and cupid laughed from up above
we had a plan to love, laugh and smile
life had other plans, appeared in a while
it was gone forever, all that we knew
a life began where friends were few
its true most things dont last forever
but its a good thing we can remember
what couldn't last will never fade
as we smile at the happiness we made

Silent sea, calm is the breeze
Happy birds surround tall, swaying trees
Golden sun, lush green is the grass
As I see the world through tinted glass
I see a world of beauty,love and trust
The tinted glass wipes out the dust
It shows what I want to see and feel
Though what looks pretty may not always be real
As I look through the glass, I see
A girl who looks a lot like me
I see her smile as she looks around
She is glad in this world she has finally found
What lies beyond may be unreal
But its the only place that wont reveal
The fear that tears at her heart and soul
She is sure only the surreal can hide this hole
When all of a sudden you come into her life
You hold her hand and end her strife
You take the tinted glass and throw it away
"You don't need it anymore", to her you say....
I smile as I look at your hand in mine
I realize that now everything looks fine
The world looks better when you're with me
And that I don't need a tinted glass to see

In the dark of the night,
I think of our happy times and I cry,
I wish I didnt have to leave you alone,
I have no answer when you ask me why.
I can feel your sadness, I can feel your pain,
I want to hold you tight as we walk down this lane,
Of sadness and separation with our broken hearts,
Where we walk together and are still apart,
And if I had one chance I would tell you I still love
If I had one wish I would smile and ask for you
I would ask for you to be mine forever and ever
And I wouldnt break your heart again, no I would never.

I don’t hate you
I never did and never will
I just didn’t know it then
When I told you and still
I think of you
Yes, it is true
Its hard I know
For both me and you
What can be done
Some things are not meant to be
You will always be the one
The only one for me
'Cause love lasts longer
Than we can ever realize
We feel weak but get stronger
As foolishly we grow wise

There were good things I should have said
but I didn't say
There were difficult times when I should have prayed
but I didn't pray
There were kind deeds I should have done
but I didnt do
There were times I shouldn't have lied
but I wasn't true
There are moments when I don't know what is right
what is wrong
There are situations where I look frail and weak
but I am strong
There are days when I wonder
why you love me
There are many good things that I am not
but I could be
Instead I am bad, mad and crazy
but I am just being me

While walking down the road today
Wishing I didn’t have to walk alone
I thought of times when you and I
Walked together, walked along
Of times when we would talk of things
Each wanting the other to know
Not realizing then, a smile it brings
As I think of the time, wanting more
We watched the tall, slim, pretty trees
Swaying about with the breeze
The twigs that carpeted the road
We walked together over rustling leaves
And oft we watched the sun set
Watching the yellow turn red
Too often as we would hold hands
Listen to things, heard best when left unsaid
Now walking alone down the road
The sun wont set, the trees wont sway
And the unsaid now i speak to you
Without you, dear, nothing is the same.

I picked a flower from a bush
And I loved it so
Put it in a vase next to my bed
But how was I to know
That the flower cried for its bush
That the bush cried for its flower
But how was I to know
That the flower would die in an hour
The flower withered away
And I put it inside my book
Because I loved the flower so
But how was I to know
That the flower gasped for breath
That it was facing death
But how was I to know
That the flower so badly wanted to go
And I kept the flower close to me
So that every day I could see
But how was I know
That the flower that I had loved so
Had always hated me
That there was pain I couln't see
And how was I to know

Let me sketch my thoughts on the sand
Watch as the waves destroy
Let me close my eyes for a while
Hear the best moments pass by
Let me know what it is to be dead
To enjoy being alive
Let me justify my existence
By doing something worthwhile
Let me find the difference
My life is supposed to make
Let me be a coward
Prepare for risks I need to take
Let me do things my way
Let me fail repeatedly and learn
Let me watch success go by
I will know it all, in turn
