Heartbreak? Love? Or Neither? - Alexandra Rader (the reading strategies book TXT) 📗

Please Don't Leave Me

Please don't leave me
My handsome amour
Please don't leave me
On this dangerous shore

You are my love
You are my light
Please don't leave me
In this night

"Please don't leave me"
I beg and plead
Where does it get me
But to bleed?

Please don't leave me
I love you so
Please don't leave me
If only you could know

Please don't leave me
I've figured it out
Please don't leave me
Love is the route

Why You?

How can I live
With you standing there?
How can I live
Knowing you don't care?

I gave you my love
And I gave you my heart
You've got me in a mess
I don't even know where to start

I thought you'd be here always
But now I see I'm wrong
You broke my heart beyond repair
Yet for you my heart still longs

You're clouding up my mind
Making me lose my thoughts
My eyes are crying for you
And all I can see are dancing black dots

I would have given everything
Just to be with you
But now I see my time was wasted
And I'm asking myself, "Why you?"

How could you do this to me
After everything I gave?
I feel like half is missing
My grief anchored to me like a slave

Everything is wrong
Without you by my side
Everyday is filled with depression
I wish that I could hide

I want these despairing thoughts
To go away
But here the thoughts are staying
Until you brighten my whole day

You've left me lost and alone
I don't know what to do
Or even where to turn
And I'm asking myself, "Why you?"

Why you, of all people?
You used to be my best friend
You made me cry and laugh
Now who'll be there in the end?

I still stand here waiting...
Waiting for the day
When you decide to care again
And wipe my tears away

Roses

I wish I were with you
Right there by your side
But here I sit instead
With no place of which to hide

You were my everything
But now you're long gone
A whisper in the wind
And severed is our bond

Your back is forever turned
Due to the violence of my words
I regret every minute
My grief caging me like a bird

Sleep is no longer an option
For the memories that come to mind
The haunt my every thought
Those horribly bad times

My days are filled with pain
As my mind relives that night
I long to go back and fix it
To undo the wrong to right

My heart is feeling lonely
Without your other half
Roses fall to the ground
As I think of the ones you gave to make me laugh

Baby Boy

Baby boy, you drive me crazy
When I'm with you there's no time to be lazy

I cherish every second spent with you
I love you more every day, you haven't got a clue

I go insane when we are apart
I feel like something is missing in my heart

But when I stand by your side
I forget about all the tears I've cried

And when you stand close and hold me
I had no idea of such serenity

I wanna spend forever in your life
And maybe someday become your wife

Baby boy, I'm going insane
My heart skips a beat when I hear your name

I worry all the time that I will disappoint you someday
But then you take all my fears away

So, baby, I'm begging you to never let me go
I'll love you always, more than you'll know

Not the One

These days are long and cold
Without you by my side
Life is hard to get by
My face covered in tears, I hide

You used to be so nice
I thought you were the one
What did I do so wrong?
For you to say were done

How could you hurt me like that
When you knew I loved you so?
You hurt me very badly
So bad that now I know

Now I know you're not the one
The one meant to be
I should have seen it; Known it
But that is just like me

To overlook the smallest detail
That would ruin my whole world
Now my eyes are crying;
My sight now permanently blurred

You're All the Same

I don't know what to think
And I don't know where to start
Why would you hurt me like that
And break my beating heart?

I thought that you were different
That to me you'd never lie
But now we're done and over
And I'm crying my goodbye

The tears are never ending
I'm screaming out your name
I'm standing out here all alone
My voice pleading to the pouring rain

You were like a disease to me
Without any cure
Now I'm crying even more
Because I see you loving her

What could I have done so wrong
For you to turn your back?
I would've given everything
If you'd have told me what I lack

Wishing

Wishing someone will hear her cry...
Her cry of loneliness
Wishing someone would come to her
And fill her full of happiness

Wishing for a change one day
To put some meaning in her life
Wishing for a change of heart
For her to put down the knife

Wishing for the one
Who has broken her heart
Wishing for a glimpse of the future
To know where she should re-start

Falling Apart

Tears of pain are flowing down my face
Pretty soon, all will be erased

Who knows what the future holds?
All I know is that you have turned me cold

It looks like all is broken now
But things will work out somehow

You still remain in my heart
But for now I'm falling apart
