Our Beautiful House of Cards...

So I've been trying to finish this song for you... (you know who you are). Help me finish it here:


Our Beautiful House of Cards...

Verse 1
Bereft of the old,
But blessed with the new,
I cried myself blind
Crying tears over you
Love and gratitude
Trump grief...
I felt the weight of the world
Every time I heard you weep

Bridge
Love's dart pierced my vacant heart
How superficial this art
Just wanting to be heard
Forgiveness seems absurd
When fights break hearts thrice

Chorus
I'm a slippery slope with no hope
Throw me a rope...
"Hang in there" we whisper
Another failed attempt to forget her
Both on her floor and in my mind
The pain of a burned picture...

Verse 2
You kissed by the book
I wrote to be free
You left during winter
Cast me out to see
All the mistakes I've made

[INSERT YOUR HEART HERE]



Inspiration for the song:

"(Another Song) All Over Again"

You've been alone, you've been afraid
I've been a fool
In so many ways
but I would change my life
If you thought you, might try to love me
So please give me another chance
To write you another song
And take back those things I've done
Cause I'll give you my heart
If you would let me start all over,
Again

I'm not a saint
I'm just a man
Who had heaven and Earth
In the palm of his hand
but I threw it away
So now I stand here today asking forgiveness and if you could just please
Give me another chance
to write you another song
And take back those thing's I've done
Cause I'll give you my heart
If you would let me start all over
Again

Little girl you're all I've got.
Don't you leave me standing here once again?
'Cause I'll give you my life
Yes I would.
If you would let me try to love you

So please give me another chance to write you another song and take back those thing's I've done

'Cause I'll give you my heart
If you would let me start all over
Again

Again, oh,no no ohh

You know I love you, yeah
give me one more chance
No no, no no no no

NO STRENGTH BUT YOURS...

NO STRENGTH BUT YOURS...

pain has taken away my practices and filled me with poetry. i tried to keep quietly repeating, NO STRENGTH BUT YOURS, but i feel i shouldn't. i used to be respectable, shining, and stable, but who cam stand in this strong wind and remember those days?

we rarely hear our inner-music anymore, but we're all dancing the dance nevertheless.

never the less!

i started looking for you the minute after i heard my first love story. you hate me so much you'd rather cage my inner-bird, keep me from flying free, and mute my song (when deep down i know it feels like throwing stones at a mirror).

but you won't know....
