Your Shoulder

(Verse I)

Can I weave anymore into this tapestry

To make it all coalesce

It seems the parts are always fleeting

Now everything’s a mess

But you’re the beacon to see me through

This darkness I dwell at times

You give me hope when I can’t stand

Myself it’s all in my mind

(Chorus I)

Your shoulder, can it hold me up for awhile

I need a place to cry, I need a place to hide

To hold her, always makes me smile 

Helps me to breathe, makes me believe

When I need somewhere to lean

Your shoulder’s always been there, for me

(Verse II)

You’re a call away but so hard to reach

Life gets busy sometimes

I don’t want much but sometimes I need

More than you have in time

(Chorus II)

Your shoulder, when I need to find peace

And somewhere to cry, somewhere to hide

Just to hold her, puts my mind at ease 

Helps me to breathe, makes me believe

Now when I need somewhere to lean

Your shoulder’s always been there, for me

(Bridge)

These ropes are fraying so I’m not swaying

On this bridge anymore

You’re my rails when all else fails

You’re my support

(Chorus II)

(Chorus I) 

New Life

(Verse I)

I can’t begin to tell you

Where it all went wrong

I tried the straight and narrow

But now that path was gone

Hindsight’s a funny thing

It’ll haunt you in your sleep

They say don’t judge a person’s past

But you’re always reminding me

(Chorus)

Now the company you used to keep

Will slowly disappear

And all you had in common

Was living in fear

So I’m cutting these ties, breaking these chains

Leaving this behind for better ways 

I need to go now and do what is right

Start over, in this new life

(Verse II)

Not everyone can relate

All my demons I lose count

Can love conquer the hate

Can love save me now

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

So much carnage left behind

In the wreckage there is pain

The wounds will heal in time

I don’t want this life to be in vain

(Chorus)

Without Your Love

(Verse I)

I thought it’d be easy to sweep under the rug

Along with my heart there with your love

Now this makes me uneasy all I'm thinking of
So how do I go on without your love 

(Pre-Chorus)

Our love is strong, sometimes blinded

Is there hope for two hearts divided

Everything’s a mess, now I confess

(Chorus)

Without your love I can’t rise above

Help heal wounds that lost so much blood 

Now I never realized what empty could mean

Without your love I just don’t like this version, of me

(Verse II)

You were always there where I could reach

So much taught yet so much to teach

You are my rock my refuge in the night

That one shining star guiding ever so bright 

(Pre-Chorus)

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

Sometimes we don’t stick

Sometimes we don’t make sense

Everything’s happened so quick

I don’t want to be the past tense

(Chorus)
