the ends are frayed.

sooner would be better,
but better late than never.

please make up your mind,
if you'd be so kind.

its killing me.
can you not see?

i want to believe in you,
in everything you do.

you've given me nothing
to which i can cling.

over & over, you tempt this poor heart,
breaking me from the very start.

yet, im still here, trying to hold on,
while all this time, you were long gone.

you are not alone.

looking back on my life,
seeing all i've done wrong,
through all the troubles i've faced,
i've come this far along.

i know i wasn't alone.
someone was holding my hand,
guiding every footstep,
and, all in all, helping me stand.

i don't know why He did it.
i'm not sure why He came.
but He died to show me His love,
even though it caused great shame.

through every storm,
i knew that He was there,
saying "come, my child,
give me all your cares."

my cry is not in vain.

traces in my mind,
things i can't erase,
stand before me now,
face to face.

but then i hear Your voice
saying "Lay it all down.
its not yours anymore.
give it to Me now."

and i can't erase anything that i've done,
oh but You can, and You do.
and i can't take away the pain,
oh but You can, and You do.

You save me from everything,
everything i've done wrong.
You give my heart a melody,
and i wanna sing You my song.

You can erase anything that i've done.
oh, You can, and You do.
and You can take away the pain.
oh, You can, and You do.

if i'm up or if i'm down,
on my knees or high above the ground.
oh Lord, i know you hear my cry.

You erase everything that i've done.
oh, You can, and You do.
and You take away all the pain.
oh, You can, and You do.

arrangement of fidelity.

no one knows your heartsong
better than i do.
i've memorized every word,
each note and every change of key.
over and over,
the lines i have rehearsed,
forever hoping that someday,
i'll get to sing you all the words.
i sit and wait in silence,
replaying the melody in my head,
wondering if you'll ever pass by
and ask me to dance;
to dance to the song of love,
for there is none greater.
no chorus, no bridge,
has ever been sounded so sweet.
so for now, i'll just sit tight.
i'll wait my whole life
if thats how long it takes,
cause, i'll have you know,
i am determined,
you and i are meant to be.
so, this song i will continue
to sing, to play, to live.
i'll master in entirely,
and then, some glorious day,
our heartsongs will collide.
i'll sing yours,
and you'll sing mine.

you can't put put a fire with gasoline.

sure, i've got my flaws.
darling, don't we all.
but i guess you're the exception,
caught up in your perfection.
you think you know it all.
but soon, you're bound to fall.
high up on your pedestal,
you'll shall see who played the fool.
your captivating eyes
and your little white lies,
will be the cause of your defeat.
i hope that you can stand the heat.


cause darling, the flames won't stop
just cause you want them to.
this isn't up to me.
its all up to you.

when you're wrapped around yourself,
how can you love anyone else?
you can't do it, no you can't do it.
all i wanted you to know
is you should get the love you show.
so, i guess you lose it.
yeah, i'm through with this.
this is my last goodbye for you.
right now, i'm bidding you adieu.


at one timee, i had hope you'd see
everything you had meant to me.
but now i realize
that i was nothing in your eyes.
that why you never cared,
you never wanted me there.
but honestly, thats ohkay with me.
darling, i have never felt so free.
so, i hope you're happy now.
i will never let you get me down.
you've opened my eyes, and ive seen the light.
i'm going on without you tonight.


and darling, the flames won't stop
just cause you want them to.
this isn't up to me.
its all up to you.

when you're wrapped around yourself,
how can you love anyone else?
you can't do it, no you can't do it.
all i wanted you to know
is you should get the love you show.
so, i guess you lose it.
yeah, i'm through with this.
this is my last goodbye for you.
right now, i'm bidding you adieu.


so, when you're lost and all alone.
i won't be answering my phone.
you'll be sorry, but i'm not sorry.
oh, you'll get what you deserve,
and you can bet its bound to hurt.
and you'll be sorry, oh so sorry.


when you're wrapped around yourself,
how can you love anyone else?
you can't do it, no you can't do it.
all i wanted you to know
is you should get the love you show.
so, i guess you lose it.
yeah, i'm through with this.
this is my last goodbye for you.
right now, i'm bidding you adieu.

mathematics of flattery.

"once a failure, always a failure," he said,
"you can't change what you're meant to be."
well, i'll show you.
yeah, i'll show you.
i can be who i want.
you won't stop me.
no way, no how.
you think i'm wrapped around your finger,
well, prepare for a surprise.
from the beginning, i saw right through you.
through your acts, through every lie.
to you, love is a game,
the one in which you live to play.
tempting hearts, only to leave them empty.
fooling innocence with your deception.
you think you've got me,
well darling, you thought wrong.
say what you will.
i've made up my mind.
no use in holding on to me,
cause i've loosened up my grasp.
once, i thought i loved you,
but thats all part of your little scheme.
i know that if i didn't get out,
then soon you would leave me.
i'm sorry that i ruined your perfect little strategy.
i broke your diminutive pattern.
i refuse to be the next.
so, now darling, i hope you're happy.
i aced your beguiling test.

its never that easy.

i never thought that you would care.
you never gave me a reason.

so many things i wanted to tell you.
so much i wanted to say.

but now i can't.
i simply won't.

no point in wasting my breath.
it didn't matter then,
and it won't matter now.

time has given me nothing but heartache.
and to time, i shall repay.

darling, ive made up my mind.
you want me to sleep on my decision.

theres no point, its not changing.
not tonight, not any night.

i'm through dealing with the wind.
tossing me to and fro,
every which way your feelings should go.

i'm making a change.
i'm making this right.

i'm sorry you're not happy,
but its time i think of myself, my life.

take this to heart.
i've drawn the line.
this is where it end, we end tonight.
