Will I Ever Trust Again?

Will I Ever Trust Again?

January 13, 2003

Spring, Summer, Winter, Fall

The seasons change year by year.

My friendships change almost as often. 

Do true friendships really exist?

Yes, no, maybe so? I don't know.

They come into my life alone and then they go 

Same old story just different people 

Will the heartache ever end?

Happiness, trust, confusion, fear 

It always starts good; always ends flat 

Just when I think a friendship will last it falls apart 

Will this pattern ever change?

Distrust, loneliness, hurt, tears

I try so hard not to get attached, but I always do 

They always get in; though, I still can't trust 

Will I ever be able to trust a friendship again?

Words Are Not Enough (song version)

Words Are Not Enough 

(song version)

January 16, 2004

It's not enough to hear you say you love me

It's not enough for you to say you need me

It's not enough to hear you say you want me

I need to feel it; you need to show it

Knowing is not enough if the feeling isn't there

Love needs to be expressed; needs to be shown

It's not enough to hear you say you love me

It's not enough for you to say you need me

It's not enough to hear you say you want me

More than just a word; more than just a phrase

If all you do is speak it, how do you share it?

Repeating the phrase every day; never backing them with actions

It's not enough to hear you say you love me

It's not enough for you to say you need me

It's not enough to hear you say you want me

I'm here day by day; though sometimes you don't see me

I try to get you to see me; to notice that I'm here

I cry, you look, give a kiss then turn away

It's not enough to hear you say you love me

It's not enough for you to say you need me

It's not enough to hear you say you want me

words are not enough; but that is what you give

You don't understand why I act like I do

Can't understand why; why I don't want to stay

It's not enough to hear you say you love me

It's not enough for you to say you need me

It's not enough to hear you say you want me

It's not enough to hear you say you love me

It's not enough for you to say you need me

It's not enough to hear you say you want me

I need to feel it; you need to show it

Knowing is not enough if the feeling isn't there

Love needs to be expressed; needs to be shown

More than just a word; more than just a phrase

If all you do is speak it, how do you share it?

Repeating the phrase every day; never backing them with actions

I'm here day by day; though sometimes you don't see me

I try to get you to see me; to notice that I'm here

I cry, you look, give a kiss then turn away

words are not enough; but that is what you give

You don't understand why I act like I do

Can't understand why; why I don't want to stay

Sometimes

Sometimes

Sometimes it's easier to just walk away 

Sometimes it's easier to just say goodbye 

When the fighting is constant, the distance is needed.

Sometimes it's easier to just close your eyes 

Sometimes it's easier to escape into dreams 

When the tears won't stop, an escape is needed.

Sometimes it's harder to stay where you are 

Sometimes it's harder to keep holding on

When you know you've lost everything, a prayer is needed.

Sometimes it's harder to stay awake 

Sometimes it's harder to live your dreams 

When your dreams fall apart, hope is needed. 

Sometimes it's harder to admit you're wrong 

Sometimes it's harder to say goodbye 

Sometimes we all need to be reminded, that we are needed.
