JUST A DREAM

Let the rain disguise my tears
The thunder mask the screams
I didn't need him anyway
He    was    just    a    dream

Winds tantalize my fingers
As they reach up for the sky
Release to it the reasons
I believed I had to cry
~~*~~
Now watch the sunrise
~~*~~

~~~*Chorus*~~~
The scarlet red's the blood I shed
But it won't last too long
When the sun is high
Up in that sky
It means that I've moved on
I am free
So free...
He was just a dream
~~*~~

White clouds gently drifting
Beckon to my weary being
A deceptive illusion
Like his claims of love for me

Clouds can't hold my body
Release made me see
Their mist is not substantial
Like him, they're just a dream

~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~
Just a dream that I was living
Chasing every promise spoke
Stepped outside and called the forces
Raised my hands and let them go
Now it's time...
To watch the sunrise
~~*~~

~~~*Chorus*~~~
The scarlet red's the blood I shed
But it won't last too long
When the sun is high
Up in that sky
It means that I've moved on
I am free
So free...
He was just a dream
~~*~~
Ooh...
~~ Just a dream~~

KNOCK ON ANOTHER'S DOOR

I don't sit around, playing house

When life is happening right outside

And if you don't want to join me

I will not hang on you and cry

I won't call you every minute

 I don't need you  checking in

I'm your lover, not your Mother

Don't have to tell me where you've been

~~~*Chorus*~~~

I am not a fool for love

The mushy touchy feely thing that girls speak of

I'm not the kind of woman to lose my head

Think we can solve a problem

 with some time in bed

So if that's what you're looking for...

Knock on another's door

~~*~~

You do not have to share your past

Unless it pertains to me

For every detail left behind

Is right where it should be

But I must know I can trust you

No, deceit won't be ignored

Think about it, and if I can't

Knock on another's door

~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~

I don't play games like a little girl

You won't be the center of my whole word

I will respect you, yeah I'll treat you right

You'll know that you're loved each and every night

Now,  if you need something more...

Knock on another's door

~~*~~

~~~*Chorus*~~~

I am not a fool for love

The mushy touchy feely thing that girls speak of

I'm not the kind of woman to lose my head

Think we can solve a problem

 with some time in bed

So if that's what you're looking for...

Knock on another's door

~~*~~

IF I COULD

I keep hearing that it will get better

That it is always darkest with the night

Come the dawn, everything looks brighter

My will to live shall rally for the fight

You're telling me I am not alone here

There's always someone I just have to look

Don't you know that I've become too weary

I'd have already done so if I could

~~~*Chorus*~~~

If I could...

I would see the best of what is here

If I could

I wouldn't be lonely, so damned strangled

By my fears

I know I should..

I should see the beauty, please believe me 

I would... 

I would if I could

~~*~~

When you tell me I am being selfish

Not to say that I'm leaving you again

I know that you Love me and you'll miss me

But even that can't measure with this pain

You say that you don't understand me

I can't explain when I am just as blind

All I know is that to end this misery

I've got to go and leave this life behind

~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~

If I could wave a magic wand

Clean out the depths of me

I'd blow apart the desperation

And I'd set the laughter free

Right now everything that's wonderful and good...

Has escaped me

And  I would bring it back if I could

Oh...If I could

~~*~~

~~~*Chorus*~~~

If I could...

I would see the best of what is here

If I could

I wouldn't be lonely, so damned strangled

 By my fears

I know I should..

I should see the beauty, please believe me 

I would... 

I would if  I could

~~*~~
