Song Lyric Verses – Thoughts into words

I planted love and watched it grow
Into something so sweet now can’t let go.

When you know you’re loved
Your world is a different place.
There’s nothing you can’t conquer.
There’s nothing you can’t face.

Trapped in these four walls
But my mind still escapes.
My thoughts can take me anywhere
I can and will take a break

I have shared in the suffering of the human race.
I know my place and it’s somewhere I can’t face.

Didn’t know how this could happen.
Didn’t know I would feel this way.
Didn’t know someone could pass on by
And take my only dream away.

Welcome to a new day.
Nothing’s happened yet.
Make it how you want it,
So you won’t regret.

You’ll never know if you don’t ever try.
You’ll never learn how if you don’t step outside
Your comfort zone where nothing ever changes.
Everything is easy, you live your life in phases.

I could have changed.
I guess I always knew the ship was sinking.
Suppose I got too tired of thing
How to solve the endless puzzle that was us.

We could wait forever for bad to become good.
We could wait forever to be heard, listened to, understood

Society has closed the door on every open mind.
It’s captured all the innocence and lost its reason to be kind.

I’ll miss the leaves when they fall to the ground.
I’ll miss the silence when there’s too much sound.

You’ve had a puncture.
You’re ego’s deflated.

Saw a feather on the ground today.
Remembered there’s much more to life than I can see.
When I’m trapped inside the bubble that’s my world
Sometimes I’m unaware that there’s more to life than me.

I know I don’t always finish what I start.
Maybe the reason for the space between our hearts.

You listen from behind your wall of never ending doubt
Never hearing, never seeing what my pain is all about.

This is my mountain I must climb it on my own.
My life’s at a crossroads I must face my fears alone.

It’#s funny you should say that
But nothing ever changes.
Things may sometimes look the same
But life just rearranges.

Empty bottles and broken dreams.
Alcohol proof happiness evades you it seems.

I’m having a bad day.
You probably can tell.
#I’m not feeling myself
So, I’ll crawl back in my shell.

If you want to solve the problems, listen and forgive.
Step outside your comfort zone and learn to really live.

I just want to be myself.
Don’t know how to be someone else.

You blow me away whenever you smile.
I just wish you could stay awhile

Traffic jam in my head.
Thinking of words I should have said.

Let your conscience win.
It’ll get you out of the mess you’re in.

The further you climb the harder you fall.
Doesn’t take long before you’ve nothing left at all.

What happened to the morals
In this more or less world?
Everybody does what pleases them

Sometimes we stop asking questions
Because we’ve not yet found the answers.
Could it be that’s why we lose our way?

It’s getting harder and harder to find a good reason to smile.
You’ve got to believe that there’s happiness out there to find.

Selfless love is the key to unlocking peace.
Until love is shown there’ll be no release.

You are the trigger in my life.
Everything starts because of you.

You’ve got a way of making things happen.
Whenever I start something new.

Though we’re surrounded, we still seem to be alone
In thought and in mind, in heart and in song.

The winter wind brings the sharpest pain
Cutting deep into my bones where the cold remains
But there’s nothing that will ever hurt the same
As knowing I will never see you gain.

Love can never live on credit.
It will run out if you let it.
