Songs In My Head

Last Goodbye

Days go by

Wondering what the future holds

I look up to the sky

Rain falls down

Clouding up my vision

'til the point that my eyes drown

There's never any answers

To the questions that I ask

Still I wander, searching

Seems a never ending task

I know some days there's always going to be

Reminders of the pain inside of me

So I watch the rain falling from the sky

This will have to be my last goodbye

Time moves on

Leaving me to wonder

Just what the hell went wrong

Lost in life

Hoping for a miracle

To finally end this strife

It's finally going to happen

I will find all that I need

Hearts' wounds will always heal

But not before they bleed

I know some days there's always going to be

Reminders of the pain inside of me

So I watch the rain falling from the sky

This will have to be my last goodbye

This time I’ll break the hold on me

This time my eyes will open up and see

I won't let myself be buried in the past

I won't stop until I find a love to last

I know some days there's always going to be

Reminders of the pain inside of me

So I watch the rain falling from the sky

This will have to be my last goodbye

I know some days there's always going to be

Reminders of the pain inside of me

So I watch the rain falling from the sky

This will have to be my last goodbye

Simple Gestures

Just when I though the skies would never clear

You came into my life and held me near

No lies or promises were told

You just held out a hand to hold

Just what I needed when it mattered most

As if my life had raised a glass to toast

In celebration of a life to live

Time to let myself forgive

Your timing was perfect

I can never explain

What a wonder you've done for me

A gesture so simple

Still it opened my eyes

To see the man I know I can be

Just when the sea seemed about to roar

There you were standing on the shore

Gently leading me out of the tide

All my troubles finally pushed aside

Just what is it hidden in your smile

That calls and makes me want to stay a while

And wrap my around you all night long

Drifting to the softness of our song

Your timing was perfect

I can never explain

What a wonder you've done for me

A gesture so simple

Still it opened my eyes

To see the man I know I can be

I'm not asking for much

Just the chance to move on

Walking with you by my side

Whether lovers or friends

As long as you're there

I've no longer a reason to hide 

Your timing was perfect

I can never explain

What a wonder you've done for me

A gesture so simple

Still it opened my eyes

To see the man I know I can be
