I DO NOT BELIEVE IN LOVE

I do not believe in love
It does not take me very far
I have for long been searching
If I could find someone new

That would treat me like you do
Since you went away
Life has been very lonely
I could feel my heart dying

Why do you have to go so soon?
Left me hanging on the thread on my own
Should have known, you give me strength
You are everything I believed in

Sorry, I did not mean to be selfish
The pain of loosing you
Is holding me back
There is no rainbow in my cloud
For love could not be found

HEART OF A WOMAN

Stories are told 
Of heroes in the past and present
They are a part of our lives
Sometimes in our dreams

Within conflicts of strife for purpose
The world need not a hero
But someone that is passionate and understanding
Who knows what it means to share in one's pain

Emphasis are not made on choice
But a deliberate scarify for love
Unambiguous or self seeking
A feeling not fogged by the cloud

If there is a place to find true happiness
Trust, loyalty and support of a friend
Selfless and caring in any circumstance
A companion with genuine intentions

Someone who believes in you
Fight for everything to uplift your smile
Such can be found but one place
In the heart of a woman

EVERY TIME I SAY GOODBYE

Every time I say goodbye
Girl, you turn around and cry
And I wander why
I am only gone for a while

I wear a heart that belongs to you not mine
My feelings for you the world can not denial
I could never make you lose a drop of smile
When I look at your beauty I see a angel

Sometimes I wished it rains
To give me an alibi to stay a few more days
Hate to see tears in your eyes
I will be back before you know it, I promise

You can wait for me by the window
Its cold out here, I don't want you lonely in the snow
In my heart, I will be close to you
Do the things you always tell me to

My love for you is like a billion stars
From the sky, nothing can wipe away the feelings
You are much too valuable to lose
Out of the world, you are my most perfect choice

IF THE HEART IS MADE OF PLASTIC

If the heart is made of plastic
It would easily be broken
Feelings will be fragile
Wearing an artificial smile

Take a moment, think about it
Plastics do get melted away
When someone is badly hurt
It would be difficult to mend the pain

FADED PICTURES

Tell me how
Are we supposed to live
You and I fulfilling our dreams
I have been searching for a friend

But the ship sails very far
I wonder where they are
The beauty of a picture in a frame
Is the cherished memory it brings

Thoughts which pierce the heart
Leaving an everlasting smile
To know how far to get true happiness
Is to measure the rate life is falling

The world is heartless
If not, how come we barely
Spend time with the people we love
Like knocking the door with no one home

Maybe I am been naive
The only one looking at the picture
I could never ask but this little much
Wish I have someone to take me home

WHERE DO BROKEN HEARTS GO?

Where do broken hearts go?
Away from the cruelty of life
A world free of pains and regrets
With not a resentful cloud

Where do broken hearts go?

Shed away tears of sadness in the eyes

Reflected unforgettable past

Of emotion stabbed through the heart

I have tried to draw a line

To find the spot where life is right

The way I see it, love no longer reside

But a glimpse beyond the city of a dying star

Its terrifying been alone in the dark

No one understands what I have been through

The heart is wedged with no more conviction

She can't find a soul to confide
