Beautiful

If I was beautiful would you notice me?
Through laughing eyes so carelessly
Oblivious to my love that I can’t show
As I’m not beautiful so you will never know
You’re so casual ‘bout your disdain
The colour rose can masquerade what’s vain
Cos underneath I know there’s something more
But I’m not beautiful so you will see no more
Can you imagine I’m the prettiest girl you’ve ever seen?
My hair any colour, eyes blue brown or green
Imagine just for a moment
That I am beautiful and that you love me
If I was beautiful you’d see my face
Take me away from this place
Sleepy eyes and a lost memory
Loneliness is my favourite enemy
You’re so apathetic bout your disregard
Your ignorance makes it so hard
Cos I’ve grown tired and you don’t see
Anything further than skin deep

Close To You
05:40
|

In the dark in the hope you heard
I just switch on the light to write these words
And I now that it’s too late so little time
I’ll never be yours you not mine
But if you hear this song
Will you know it’s yours
Your voice, your eyes, your face
Your perfect flaws
And I can’t sleep tonight
When you’re in my head
I can’t deny that she’s in your bed
Next to you, holding you
Loving you, so close to…
Where I wanna be
If you could only see
All the best of me
Then you would know
Where I wanna stay
Whatever they say
Close to you baby
Now I realise I’m destined to be alone
I pretend that I am strong but you are gone
You could never know or understand
When you’re standing there
Holding her hand
Next to her, holding her
Loving her, so close to you…
Next to you (her)
Holding you (her)
Loving you (her)
So close to…

Broken Tiara
05:32
|

Can’t stand to feel this way
Hope is just so far away
She’s standing by your side
Don’t you know this love is bona fide?
I love you more every day
But no you’re so far away
I wanted you to be there
I needed you so bad
I’m lost without you
This dream was all I had
(Beside lipstick and mascara
All I have is a broken tiara)
There’s nothing else
That I can say
I never predicted
It would end this way
And I don’t want to believe it
Why did you keep her a secret?
I wanted to run away with you
Like all princesses do
I know now you’re only
Mine in my fantasy
You left me all alone
I’m searching on my own
I’m lost now, lost in
This lonely dream
So it would seem
You were never
Mine at all
I’m lost now
Lost in this lonely dream
So it would seem
You were never
Mine at all

Angel

If, if you could
Would you hold me now?
Where you are
Can I get there somehow?
In strawberry fields
Never see the rain
Just take my heart
And you take the pain
Cos I don’t deserve
No I don’t deserve
Your love, your love
Your love
Just close my eyes
Hold me against you
My halo is slipping
Is an angel always true?
When her wings are
Dipped in mud
And she’s too heavy to fly
So I lay alone
Hear the echo as I cry
Silence, don’t let me hear
The silence
Or the voices in my head
Screaming guilty
At this stranger
In my bed
Saying you’ve never
Listened to what I’ve said
Never, never, never
I wanna be
Standing in the rain
Wash me clean let me
Start over again
Start over again
Start over again
Let me start
Over again
Cos I don’t deserve
No I don’t deserve
No I don’t deserve
I know that I don’t deserve
Do I deserve your love?
Your love

Close The Book
06:06
|

Open the book, turn each page
No sooner than I write the words fade away
And I don’t know how I’ve come this far
When will I learn I’m gunna crash and burn some day?
When will I see perfect isn’t me no ay?
And I can be strong
And I can move on
An open book is my life you see
I wear my broken heart on a torn and tattered sleeve
And I get hurt and I get burnt
Ahh ahh ooo
Close the book, burn each page
Put it back on the self
Never open it again
Blow the embers into the wind
And I can be strong
Yes I I’m movin’ on
Ooo ooo ahh

Kiss
03:44
|

(kiss)
Nobody said love was meant to be easy
And given the chance I wouldn’t be here
Everyone knows how it goes
When you fall in love and they don’t know
Do you feel the way I do?
Do ya feel this feeling too?
If I told you it’s like this
Would you hold me in your arms and then we’d kiss?
Baby would we?
Nobody said you were the one
But it feels I’ve loved you since time begun
Everyone sees the stars above
But they can’t see unrequited love
Ooo (do feel it?) mmm
Nobody said I’d fall for you
So why do I feel this feeling so true?
Everyone wants to love someone
Find their place, shine in the sun
Baby, baby would we… kiss?

Crystal Heart
04:28
|

You promised me the world and gave me nothing
Promised me a heaven and gave me hell
If I could just forgive you, I could just forget you
How could it be true?
You showed me paradise, what I couldn’t have
Told me of three wishes you couldn’t grant
One’s a lonely number, alone’s a lonely word
Oh haven’t you heard?
I want to sing your song
Sweet as sorrow, bitter as sin
Lost is where you fit in
You and I bittersweet goodbye
Deceit is weakness, truth’s an art
You won’t corrupt my crystal heart
You threatened me with love and I surrendered
Made me lose my mind but I remember
Temptation lead you astray, faithfulness made me stay
Trust is so far away
You brought me joy and love now turned to sorrow
Yesterday was blue, now is tomorrow
Honesty can make you, greater heights can take you
Or it can break you
Just walk away tell myself to just walk away
Why is it always so hard to, to walk away (just walk away)
Tell myself to walk away just, just walk away (just walk away)
Why is it always so hard to walk away (just walk away)
Beginning to see that you will, you’re gunna lose this game (just walk away)
You’ve lost this time (just walk away)
I want to sing your song
You and I bittersweet goodbye

Welcome To My Grey
04:17
|
|||
I saw you looking at her
The way you used to look at me
If it’s over let me know
Baby you know I can’t do it alone
Here I am
Standing alone
Look there I go
Along with yesterday
Welcome to my grey
You keep me thinking that this
Pretense is something I can do
But in my heart I know the real truth
I’ve all the evidence less the proof, still
Memories, photographs
Tryin’ to make them last
All but over now
Can we go back to where we were
Somehow?
I still remember how we used to be
Time can’t take that away
You’ll always be there in my heart
No matter what you say
I’m here alone
I’m here alone
Goodbye to yesterday
And welcome to my grey
Today is just
Another day

Love Is Gone
04:27
|

Here we are
Whoever though that we’d make it this far
Against the odds
We’ve defied expectations of us but
Borrowed time is a gamble you cannot defy and
I can see the love you had is no longer for me
But we’re
Holding on
Praying love can be strong
But love
Is gone
We are moving
So many tears so much happiness all of these years
It seems like yesterday a memory that is so far away
Do you remember when we made love all through the night?
Now it’s always, always a goodbye or goodnight
But we’re
The lights go out
The curtain’s down
And it’s the end of the show
Deserted stage
And empty seats
We both know it’s time to go home
Ahh
So here we are
Did you think that we’d make it this far?
I will always remember and be
All alone

Innocence
05:40
|
|||
Little girl wide eyed big dreams
The evil in the world
Hidden by smoke screens
Open hopeful bright eyes
Never seeing the flaws
Or the hurtful lies
So much to live for
And everything to gain
Nothing to lose
No hurt no pain
What happened to
Our innocence?
Where did it go?
I close my eyes
(I cry my tears)
Prisoner to the passing years
Little girl with nothing wrong
Lullabies to sing along
Delightful little song
Sitting on the old rope swing
Hear her voice
Sweet as she sings
Not a worry, and not a care
Nothing can hurt her here
Nothing to fear
I wanna be that little girl again
I don’t want to grow up
I wanna be young and free
And innocent forever
And ever and ever

Midsummers Eve
09:19
|
|||
In the dark I was waiting
For a dream to appear
Midsummers eve fated
Let go of all my fear
Years they passed and I waited
For a dream on his horse
Distantly it faded
And the dream was no more
I waited for you
You never came
I fell hard for you
You went away
And the years they slipped by
Still I was wondering why
Was our love not strong enough?
Or was it too strong for us?
Heartbroken I saw you
Brought you back from the dead
Holding on to the virtues
Til the day we were wed
Perfect bliss I promised
It was not just a dream
Never knew nor felt that
You were not all you seemed
I couldn’t touch you
I was so young
Thought I knew it all
Never come undone
He was so mysterious
And every night I had cried
After you left all I had
Was the gift inside
Then he said he loved me
I believed it to be true
How could I be so used
Think he could replace you?
You couldn’t touch me
I was your shame
I couldn’t deny
I was to blame
You left me with a love
Of all I cared for
But you weren’t there
To share with me the little girl
You stumbled across her
In your travels one day
Only to find that not to you
I was with child again
Still I followed
You thought me a whore
You were so hard
So much colder than before
So the years they slipped by
There were no tears left to cry
Pretending I was strong enough
Holding onto that dream of us
Then one day it happened
You held her like your own
We both made mistakes but
Oh how we had grown
All the hurt the fear
Seemed like a distant dream
You were not alone moon raker
On that midsummers eve
Only ever you
Made me complete
You gave such passion
You gave such heat
And the years they slipped by
I no longer wonder why
How our love was strong enough
Lies, deceit, weakness, fear, lust

According to an IMDB profile I didn't write, I have an honest degree in cross pollination & I am a qualified horse
psychologist - nothing I write in this bio section will be that entertaining.
On a serious note I'm a singer/songwriter. I call my style alternative. Sometimes alternative pop/rock, other times alternative country, frequently classically infused and often a combination of all these.
