How much can a heart take?
I feel lost in a nightmare
Only I stand here awake
Listening to a mother cry
As her son was lowered into his grave
She had stood beside his open casket
Screaming out in disbelief
"Get up son, Please get up!!!"
Were the only words she'd speak
And I wondered if he thought of her
When he picked up that gun
And took his own life
Her one and only son
How much CAN a heart take
before it's weak enough to break
Will we ever get past the emptiness
AFTER
The Angel of Death has taken away
our laughter!!!
Lost Goodbyes
Have you ever searched a bookshelf
for a book on lost goodbyes
Do you think maybe a deaf ear
can hear our lonesome cries
What would I say now that you're gone
You've left me here alone, wishing I would've known
What to say, if I would've had a chance that day
If only I would have seen it coming
You were straying away all along
I wish I would have seen something
but I was blind and now you're gone
No one knows where the lightning strikes
Until it hits the ground, just like us
When our lost goodbyes were never found
Goodbye my friend I hope someday
Lost Goodbyes will find their way
Life Hurts
Sometimes this life hurts us in so many ways.
We don't understand it but there it still lays.
Fly balls we can't catch, curve balls we can't hit.
We've just got to know we can never quit.
What goes wrong may be just today.
Tomorrow may hold an open play.
Although it hurts so much we just don't realize
If we just look up the sun still shines in the sky.
My Brother
Sometimes I hurt and wonder why
What did I do to deserve this life
Does God hate me or is this game
The game of living, its all the same
Sometimes I think I'd be better off dead
But then again, thats what my brother said
Now he's gone, he pulled the trigger
I don't understand, who would figure
How could he go and leave us this way
Now I just take it day by day
He's now an Angel, watching over me
Keeping me going the way it has to be
He wants me to live to watch over mother
But oh how I wish, I still had my brother.
