"I will bend and I will breathe
I will not break, no, not at all
I will hold my head up when I speak
Though nothing is clear
Who did you become my dear?
You were my sunshine
You were my warm drink!
I miss the old you so
The one that made me laugh
The one who said he could not let me go
The one that was not here, just for a while
The one that damn you, made me smile
That made me feel safe
The one that said he had my back...?
Where did you go?
...How can you leave, leave me, just like that?
Why did you have to hurt me so?
I need you now
Like I needed you then
How do I even comprehend
the love I felt for you is now at it's end...
It's just made room for your deciet
To show his face, hold my hand and bind my feet
My heart feels cold
Used, battered and old
What could turn this love into hate
I do not undersand
When did you disregard me
Do you even contemplate
The devastation you create deep, so deep within my heart?
For you've moved on to sun filled days
Blue skies and brand new ways
And I hope she showers you with the same love you showed me
The twisted tales the doe eyes filled with lies
Bitter sweet no hiding from wandering feet
And only time will tell weather you choose heaven or hell
Meanwhile I will survive
I know I will
I've lost greater loves than you before
And here I am still standing...still.
So my heart will forgive you
For in the light now I see
The shallowness you bestow upon me
I have served you well
Under your dreamy spell
The one you cast upon this tender heart
Through wild seas and calm shores
I could have loved you so much more
I would have loved you till the end...and then
But your darkness brewed and all the anger that was built up in you
From past illusion and an unmended heart
Came out of you like an almighty din
And crushed the house that we lived in
No love no more no trust I wore
Torn and worn down to the last thread....
And my emptiness was fed by you
And every little thing you do
And every tear that falls
Falls because of everything you did not do
Yes...I will bend and I will breathe
But I will not break, no, not at all
I will hold my head up when I speak
There may always be a place for you left in my heart
Even though you tore it apart
For once I've loved I always do
Though this does not mean I have trust, faith or respect in you
No, those you took when you choose to turn your back and go
Though nothing is clear
Who did you become my dear?
I love you, I hate you
You were my sunshine
My warm drink
You were my best friend...what made me think...?"

Loving you...
"I am so tired
the days the nights
the endless fights
in my head, in my heart
the burning pain of wrong verses right
the light I lost was the cost of loving you
The hours, days and years all passed fuelled by your taboo
the yes' the no's the I don't knows
the leave me alone's the I need you so's
the silence cuts me like a knife
and my heart splits in two from loving you
Why did you have to go and end this life
it could have been so strong, so bright.
But you bruise and tease
and it is blurred in between
and I am confused from loving you...
And now there is three
how can it be?
when I thought that you were loving me
how deaf and dumb I must be
to not have seen the in between
the web of lies that does surmise
the pain of loving you."
