  1. The heart wants what it wants
    it searches for what it desires
    it makes way for dreams and thoughts
    it is created by the environment around us

    It searches for what it desires
    Even though what it desires may not be the best
    it is created by the environment around us
    Even though the environment could be hurtful

    Even though what it desires may not be the best
    the heart makes its own way
    Even though the environment could be hurtful
    the heart thrives and succeeds

    The heart makes its own way
    it creates the path that we follow
    the heart thrives and succeeds
    it makes us who we are and what we dream to be

    it creates the path that we follow
    only stopping us when someone we love is at stake
    it makes us who we are and what we dream to be
    only preventing us when it’ll hurt others

    Only stopping us when someone we love is at stake
    the heart pushes us forward until the end
    only preventing us when it’ll hurt others
    the heart helps us through life, and is in charge of our actions

    it searches for what it desires
    it makes way for the dreams and thoughts
    it is created by the environment around us
    The heart wants what it wants

  2. The clock strikes twelve
    As I walk with my friends
    They suddenly disappear
    I am all alone

    As I walk with my friends
    The streets are so quite
    I am all alone
    With no one to guide me

    The streets are so quiet
    Not a light in sight
    With no one to guide me
    No one to hold

    Not a light in sight
    I feel like I am dreaming
    No one to hold
    No one to help

    I feel like I am dreaming
    On top of the clouds
    No one to help
    I am all by myself

    On top of the clouds
    As high as I can be
    I am all by myself
    I feel like I am falling

  3. I’m starting to forget.
    I’m starting to forget everything about you.
    I have a new mind set.
    I will find love, and this time it will be true.

    I’m starting to forget everything about you.
    I’m starting to let go of everything you said.
    I will find love, and this time it will be true.
    Never again will a tear for you be shed.

    I’m starting to let go of everything you said.
    I’m making space for a new friend.
    Never again will a tear for you be shed.
    You’ll soon be chapter that came to an end.

    I’m making space for a new friend.
    I’m now engaged with hope and opportunity.
    You’ll soon be a chapter that came to an end.
    My life will overcome this atrocity.

    I’m now engaged with hope and opportunity.
    I refuse to go back to that old cage.
    My life will overcome this atrocity.
    I’m closing up this chapter and starting a new page.

    I refuse to go back to that old cage.
    I’m done with you forever more.
    I’m closing up this chapter and starting a new page.
    I’m slowly sowing back together everything you tore.

  4. My voice does not do justice in this love,
    My eyes not to see any true beauty;
    When it comes to you I fall short of words,
    The words that may make you mine, or may not.

    Futures of the past present my mistake;
    My voice does not do justice in this love,
    To remain mute when I have all to say;
    When it comes to you I fall short of words.

    The past does give my present this hindrance,
    Futures of the past present my mistake;
    To repeat this unwanted vow hinders,
    To remain mute when I have all to say.

    Love may entail that my tongue does e’er speak;
    The past does give my present this hindrance,
    Yet voices cannot denote such romance;
    To repeat this unwanted vow hinders.

    To speak means less of what I feel for you,
    Love may entail that my tongue does e’er speak;
    Do I trick myself with seclusion o’ thought?
    Yet voices cannot denote such romance.

    My love to stay hidden e’er from your sight;
    To speak means less of what I feel for you,
    However much my mind e’er strays from you;
    Do I trick myself with seclusion o’ thought?

  5. The sun rises
    It shines all over the land
    A chance of hope goes
    It shines through lives

    It shines all over the land
    The hearts filled with joy
    It shines through lives
    Gives everyone a new chance to live

    The hearts filled with joy
    A new life is born
    Gives everyone a new chance to live
    A tear slowly goes down the faces

    A new life is born
    Then at the same time a life is taken away
    A tear slowly goes down the faces
    Many go and cry and take time for themselves

    Then at the same time a life is taken away
    It shatters the lives of many
    Many go and cry and take time for themselves
    Sorrow fills the air

    It shatters the lives of many
    Shots and bullets strike hearts of many
    Sorrow fills the air
    Let’s take a time for peace and quiet

  7. She had an idea, but that doesn’t mean the shock isn’t there
    It’s all changing now
    The one person she thought would always be there is gone
    How does this even happen

    It’s all changing now
    That person is actually gone
    How does this even happen
    They said that they would never leave

    That person is actually gone
    There is nothing that can be done at this moment
    They said that they would never leave
    That’s the part that hurts the most

    There is nothing that can be done at this moment
    What has happened, happened, no going back
    That’s the part that hurts the most
    There is no way to fix things at this point

    What has happened, happened, no going back
    She can only hope for a change, however that probably won’t work
    There is no way to fix things at this point
    As much as she wants to ignore this, she can’t

    She can only hope for a change, however that probably won’t work
    The voice of this problem is screaming out at her and won’t stand to stay quite
    As much as she wants to ignore this, she can’t
    She can’t ignore it, but she can’t do anything about it either

    The voice of this problem is screaming out at her and won’t stand to stay quite
    She thinks of ways to get this person back
    She can’t ignore it, but she can’t do anything about it either
    Is it even worth it now?

    She thinks of ways to get this person back
    It’s devastating that she knows nothing will work
    Is it even worth it now?
    Part of her thinks it’s worth trying because it’s what she wants but it won’t work

    It’s devastating that she knows nothing will work
    The little bit of hope is slowly diminishing
    Part of her thinks it’s worth trying because it’s what she wants but it won’t work
    She has to hold onto her hope because that’s all she has left

    The little bit of hope is slowly diminishing
    She’s fighting a battle with this other person and herself
    She has to hold onto her hope because that’s all she has left
    She’s slowly losing herself in the process

    She’s fighting a battle with this other person and herself
    She needs to gain control of herself before it’s too late
    She’s slowly losing herself
    At this point she’s better off leaving it all alone

    She needs to gain control of herself before it’s too late
    It’s now a battle of what’s best for her and what she wants
    At this point she is better off leaving it all alone
    The chance of her letting go now is slim to none

  8. No light
    Surrounded by darkness
    Time to think and be alone
    Night time

    Surrounded by darkness
    The stars in the sky
    Night time
    The glow of the moon

    The stars in the sky
    The clam peaceful sky
    The glow of the moon
    Providing safety

    The clam peaceful sky
    The cool night air
    Providing safety
    The stars are so bright

    The cool night air
    The breeze of the wind
    The stars are so bright
    Like a million like fireflies

    The breeze of the wind
    Day should never come
    Like a million like fireflies
    The night sky
