Once Were Lovers

After a lifetime spent together,
We're falling apart at the seams.
Even when holding hands lightly,
The touch doesn't ignite our dreams.

When did we lose the chats that we used to have?
No more making you laugh every day.
I never thought this day would ever come,
Does it always work out this way?

Has our candle been burnt?
Are there lessons we shoulda learnt?
Wishing the way things have become, they weren't,
Maybe it's our bridge that's now been burnt.

Singing our song we sang at our wedding,
Brings on the pain and tears.
Watching our video and seeing our smiles,
That disappeared in the recent years.
If I could talk to the man I was in better times,
How could I protect what we had then?
He would never believe his future would come to this,
But he would want to try again.

Every night I lie awake,
Each day I try to hide.
There's a voice from our past,
And in you I wanna confide.

I know we still have the love somewhere,
It obvious that we both care.
Lets find the lovers that we once were,
Our strength is together as a pair.

Thinking Of You

Hey princess how are you. Yeah I've had a few drinks and thinking of you. Remember how I used to get in a mood. Too many drinks and getting screwed. Then end up offending and being rude.

If Only

If only I'd of said. All those things I thought could be read. If only I'd told you. That I love you too. If only we'd tried. Instead of cried. If only things had been. Different and we'd seen.

Only a Memory

Trace the skyline as dusk begins Count the stars as they creep in. A box is buried upon this hill Filled with secrets incased in steel. This is where we used to be Now I come to hold the memory.

Don't you miss the sunny days. I look back And see them through a haze, I see happiness And joy In a glance But it seem so far behind. I need a friend, The forever kind.
