What You'll Never Know

Can I walk away
Without a word
Trying to forget
What was never heard
Please forgive me
I was afraid
I couldn't face it
Or the choice you made
Don't be sorry
Or pretend to care
I must accept
What wasn't there
I wish they could see
All that we never knew
What you never tried
What I couldn't do
The fear is there
I'm trying to fight
I know it will leave me
Just not tonight
I'm trying to move on
And let it go
But it's so hard to forget
What you'll never know

In Category A

I'm sorry that I don't fit

Into your small, little box

But I happen to be a person

Not a pile of rocks

Go ahead and try it

Define who I am

Tell me what I'm good at

Label me if you can

Get out your list of records

File me under A

Write down alphabetically

All I do and say

But just remember this

Before you get too far

You'll never really know me

And I'll never play the part.

To The Man In The Suit

I know you're trying to be important

With the suit and the tie

You got life on a platter

A cup of coffee on the side

Some say you really made it

You've got fortune and fame

I say you missed the point

You jumped on the wrong train

Life's not about money

Or how big you can be

I don't care if people know you

That doesn't matter to Me

I want to make you excellent

Better than the best

So you can leap over mountains

So you can pass every test

If you let me I can change you

It will involve a lot of breaking

But I promise to give you more

Than anything I'll be taking

You can try to conquer the world

And build a nice sand castle

Or you can try conquering yourself

And instead of importance, be exceptional.

Not Giving Up

in the moment

i was ready to give up

my heart was broken

never to be the same

in the moment

i let you creep into my life

i was surrounded

by the fear you held me by

and the lies that you would speak to me

of who i'd never grow up to be

but i, i will never die

i will not go down

i shall never drown

i, i won't look away

i found what i can give

a reason to live

and im not giving in

in the moment

i couldn't see my worth at all

through the torment

you had left inside my soul

in that moment

you said i'd never reach the end

that my cries were lost and

only heard among the dead

and the lies that you would speak to me

of what i'd never become to be

but i, i will never die

i will not go down

i shall never drown

and i, i won't look away

cause i found what i can give

it's a reason to live

and im not giving in

oh and what i've become

is more than what i could have ever done

and what my life now can say

is all that you intended to throw away

but i will not give up

yes i will rise above

and i've just had enough

no im not giving up

What I See

I've tried to figure out my way
I've tried to think it was all the same
But in the end it's not a game
You've tried to live it on your own
You've tried to think it's all unknown
But in the end you're not alone

But what lies beyond the emptiness
Can't you see there's so much more than this
You're on your way, you're on your way
And it's never too late

I know what it's like to be down
I've felt the same way you do now
But in the end God is still around
Sometimes we feel out of place
Sometimes we can't see past mistakes
But in the end they're not a waste

Can't you see beyond the loneliness
You have to know there's so much more to this
You're on your way, yes you're on your way
Cause it's never too late

I've been to the end of me
Only then could I be free
I was blind but now I see
I know you think it's not for you
You've tried it all and it fell through
But in the end what's really true
