Paper Hearts

March 6, 2011

I’ve been drawing hearts,
tearing them apart.
Now I can’t remember why.
I’ve been losing faith,
trying to find my place
with no purpose and no drive.

There’s nothing wrong about me.
There’s nothing right.

How can you say nothing’s wrong with this picture?
I’ll do my best, trying hard not to trick her.
God only knows if it’s truth, if it’s fiction.
Losing touch with time, stuck beneath the sky tonight.

You’re not gonna find
any peace of mind
if you don’t start to repair
all the paper hearts
that I’ve torn apart.
It’s not suposed to be fair.

There’s nothing wrong about me.
There’s nothing right.

How can you say nothing’s wrong with this picture?
I’ll do my best, trying hard not to trick her.
God only knows if it’s truth, if it’s fiction.
Losing touch with time, stuck beneath the sky.

Have you ever seen a star die?
Has it ever crossed your mind?
I may be putting on a mask, love.
I may be trying to do without.

I’ve been drawing heart, tearing them apart.

How can you say nothing’s wrong with this picture?
I’ll do my best, trying hard not to trick her.
God only knows if it’s truth, if it’s fiction.
I’ve lost touch with time.
I have lost my mind.

Oh, Moon

December 28, 2009

This is a song I’ve written. I originally wrote it as a poem, but removed two of the verses and added a chorus when a melody popped into my head.

Oh, Moon
Will you shine your light on me
Moon oh, moon
as I walk beneath your eyes?
Moon oh, moon
Would you light my darkest dream?
Moon oh, moon
Will you watch the sun rise?

(chorus)
If it rains tonight
If the stars refuse to shine
Don’t be scared tonight
It doesn’t mean goodbye.
If it rains tonight
If the clouds collide
Don’t be scared, oh, moon don’t cry.

Moon oh, moon
will you sing the songs I write
Moon oh, moon
as you smile and hold my hand?
Moon oh, moon
Will you dance with me tonight?
Moon oh, moon
Do you understand?

Moon oh, moon
Has the summer gone to waste?
Moon oh, moon
will the winter be too cold?
Moon oh, moon
Is it nothing I have chased?
Moon oh, moon
Are you scared of growing old?

Moon oh, moon
would you hide behind the sun
Moon oh, moon
if I said my prayers out loud?
Moon oh, moon
Would you turn your back and run?
Moon oh, moon
Could I ever make you proud?

Moon oh, moon
Don’t fall or fade away.
Moon oh, moon
Don’t leave me here alone.
Moon oh, moon
If we go our separate ways
Moon oh, moon
Would you ever come back home?
