A GRAVE MISTAKE

For a grave mistake I made
When I allowed my feelings got blown away
When you told me you loved me
It made the sun reflects in my eyes
I saw the future bright but got scared to make up my mind
It's been sandy the path you walked through for me
I could feel your loved from far down the creek
And also the love and the beauty of a sun flower
Wish I had not let my feelings down
I wouldn't today have nightmares in my sleep
For a grave mistake I made
The day I let my love for you slipped

SWITCHING PLACES

Can we switch places for a while?

I want you to understand completely how I feel inside

I may have told you a thousand times that I love you

You've got to have pictures of what's going on in my mind

It's hasn't been easy holding my feelings for so long

Sometimes I tried to figure out my heart

Can't find out why she clings on to you all this while

You've got to know the sacrifices I made for you

I picture you in all my dreams for I want them to become true

I might not be able to express my feelings for you openly

I may not be as sincere as you want me to be

Every man has shortcomings, that's what makes us human

It’s not an excuse that I don’t love you, I always will

But I need you to switch places with me

And have a clue what I have been through for you

Maybe you will appreciate me a little more

For loving you this much

DON'T PRETEND YOU CARE ABOUT ME

It's no use pretending you love me

I could see it through your smile that you don't need me

Gone were days flowers blossom when I am around you

You were like the morning dew in my heart

A river that ease my pain when I am sad

A storm that chase away my nightmares

An angel that walked me down the aisle

I used to go to church to pray for a miracle

But it's obvious you selfishly left me in the cold

You never gave me a chance to share the feelings I hold

I took a long stare at your picture; it got my heart burning inside

You've burden my heart and left her bleeds

For everything I go through you don't care

I was saving all I have got for you

Now I don't know what to do, for I am miserable

I can never get back the life I once had

You took it all away, you took every I had

My feelings are flying free; I no longer have use for them

For its no use pretending you love me
