Flowers and Lace
I need something
To distract my mind off you
But everything I say or do
Reminds me of you
I take a look around
And all that can be found
Are the memories I have of us
Our teenage years
Left long ago in the past
Everything about you I still hold dear
All the while from my eyes
Is the constant pouring of tears
Wishing you and I had been then
Meant to last
Sometimes feeling such despair
That this life I can no longer bear
I wake each morning needing you here
I fall asleep every night in my dreams
Holding you near
Yet you’re so far away
Thoughts of you never stray
Everyday is just the same
Emotions play this damn game
I feel like a school girl
Caught up in this whirl will
My heart is bleeding now
And I’m wearing it on my sleeve
Why is this something I still so strongly believe?
Can’t wish it away
I’ve tried, I’ve prayed
And the thinking that you to feel the same
Like we are soul mates
Meant to be standing together at heavens gate
Perhaps it’s some twist of fate
That this is what was supposed to happen all along
Maybe we’re right where we belong
You know what they say
You don’t truly love what you got till it’s gone away
I know to all this is a song
I keep on singing
But for me it plays on and on
In my head it keeps ringing
I hope this is my new beginning
This time one of style and grace
With lots of flowers and lace
