Empty Words

I have heard that eyes can reflect the soul
And pictures tell a thousand stories
But when I look at you
Why don't I feel it's true?
There's so much said in Empty Words

There are people talking everywhere I look
No one saying what they mean
Still they talk anyway
When there's nothing to say
There's so much said in Empty Words

I've heard it all so many times
I still try to believe
But you give it away
With the things you don't say
There's so much said in Empty Words

I've heard it all so many times
I still try to believe
But you give it away
With the things you don't say
There's so much said in Empty Words
You've listened but you never heard
There's so much said in Empty Words

Waiting...

The clouds have cornered
my life again,
The horizon has blinded
my sight again,
And I know I must be strong
Carrying on alone

Whenever my dreams have
stormed 'till morning,
You were there,
an angel, a blessing
No, I cannot see your smile,
And I'm defenceless,
like a child

And I've been waiting,
And I've been crying,
And I've been loving,
Loving, loving you

You were the one I wanted to live for,
You were my life,
how could I ever ask for more,
Still my mind went on believing,
That you never would be leaving,

And I've been waiting,
And I've been crying,
And I've been loving,
Loving, loving you...

Until Death Do Us Part ...

I was nothing before
Still I stand here today
As a keeper of dreams
'Till the night fades away
Je l'aime à mourir
You can tell me again
All the reasons to leave
But with a touch of his hand
He can make me believe
That I belong here
Yes, I belong here
Je l'aime à mourir
Not a moment ago
I was only a woman
But he fills me with more
In the way no one can
Je l'aime à mourir
When he catches my eye
All the light from the sun
Seems to wither and die
Next to all he's become
I am without fear
And I would die here
Je l'aime à mourir

It isn't fair, you know
Why should I care?
There are a million just like me
It isn't fair, you know
Why should he care?
And live to be
The world to me

He is all I've become
He is all that I need
And he makes me feel one
With the air that I breathe
Je l'aime à mourir
Though sometimes we're apart
Though sometimes I'm astray
It's the beat of his heart
In the music I play
That keeps me sincere
Through all these long years
Je l'aime à mourir
I could cry for his eyes
Like a child in the cold
And I will live by his side
'Till the day I am old
Je l'aime à mourir
When you find someone strong
Someone inside your heart
And when he takes you beyond
"Until death do us part"

You'll know what I mean
Why I would die here
Je l'aime à mourir
It isn't fair, you know
Why should I care?
There are a million just like me
It isn't fair, you know
Why should he care?
And live to be
The world to me

I was nothing before
Still I stand here today
As a keeper of dreams
'Till the night fades away
Je l'aime à mourir
You can tell me again
All the reasons to leave
But with a touch of his hand
He can make me believe
That I belong here
And I will die here
Je l'aime à mourir

Time Stood Still...

Despair, regret, and tenderness
Is what I feel for you
I loved you from the very start
What else could I do

You read my mind, you made me cry
Time stood still
And now I know the reasons why
Time stood still

Maybe you're the next best thing to happen
All the things we might have been

A flame becomes a fading light
That burns inside my heart
And like a castle in the sand
It had to fall apart

You made me laugh, you gave me hope
It's over now
Our happiness went up in smoke
It's over now

Maybe you're the next best thing to happen
All the things we might have been

Maybe you're the next best thing to happen
All the things we might have been

The Love Letter...

Dear "You"...

If you're reading this, it means that i actually worked up the courage to write it. So good for me. You don't know me very well, or maybe you do...but at least you get me started. I have a tendency to go on and on about how hard the way to express myself and writing are for me. But this... this is the hardest thing I've ever had to write. There's no easy way to say this, so I'll just say it. Three years ago, I met someone, it was an "accident". I wasn't looking for it, I wasn't on the make. It was a perfect storm. He said one thing, I said another. Next thing I knew, I wanted to spend the rest of my life in the middle of that conversation. Time has past since that day... but I still got this feeling in my gut. He might be the one. He's completly nuts... in a way that makes me smile... highly addictive... A great deal of maintenance required. He's you... That's the good news... the bad news is that I don't know how to be with you... and it scares the shit out of me. Because I know that if I'm not with you right now, I have this feeling that we'll get lost out there. It's a big, bad world full of twists and turns, and people have a way of blinking and missing the moment... the moment that could've changed everything. I don't know what's wrong with us, and I can't tell you why you should waste a leap of faith on the likes of me... but damn you feel good... I feel so secure and peacefull in your arms... it just makes me wanna hug you and kiss you over and over again... and I just love you the way you are so... that's got to count for something, right?
Just think about it...

Faithfully yours, Sleep.
