I Should Have Known

I was looking to close to the sun,
I should have just burned up instead.
So won’t you leave my heart to rest?
I should have seen the look in your eyes,
The ominous stares, the random cry's
I should have seen all the damn signs,
Where you drew all these red lines.
Now all our bridges are burning down.
I’ll let your love burn through the ground.
Your words still cut through the scars.
Scattered in the ashes,
Everything has gone away.
You made me go insane.

I should have known this would have ended like this.
I should have known there was no other way.
I should have known by the shape you were in.
I should have known, I was inside of you,
I should have known that side to you.
I should have known having been here before.

No I can’t forgive you yet.
My hopes have gone up in smoke waiting for you
So give me some rope I am coming loose,
And I am going after you.
Your indecision has got me climbing up a wall.
I can’t help tear out all who is involved.
So let me put you in your place,
So tell me what is in it for me?
I am not giving up or giving in,
You’re stuck with all that haunts you.
You think living like this is going to change who you are?
You got away from me, now you better run far.

I should have known you would have left me out to dry.
I should have known you would have broken what was left inside. 
I should have known by the company you keep,
I should have known you would have used me to abuse me,
and left me here to die with a smile on your face.
I should have known....

The End Times?

You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains. (Matthew 24:6-8; Mark 13:7-8 NIV).Mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God -- having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them. (2 Timothy 3:1-5 NIV). But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare. (2 Peter 3:10 NIV). An...

Even On My Worst Days

My eyes are opened wide, And the world is falling to pieces, I feel like sealing my heart completely. The tears still drop towards the ceiling. I wish I could see your beautiful creation again, But everything is still upside down. It’s another fight and one more day on the ground. I can pray for heaven to come raining, But here on earth I am drowning. I can say all the right things, But be misheard by everyone. As I am being pushed out to sea, You’re still out there searching for me. The love you have always strengthens me. And so I step on some toes on my path, And I struggle to trust the people around me, So, I may be losing myself as well, But I know I can never lose your grace. My faith could never change, Even on my worst days.

Give It Up For You

Here I am caught in this dance, Spinning until I finally get my chance. I’ll put one foot forward, I’ll put one foot back, But until we move together, We will continue to lose each other. So here is my hand, I’ll open myself up wide, So you can forever live inside. Here I am searching for you. So here is my heart I pour it out, So here is my soul I’ll let it go. So here is my life I give it up for you. Here I am to finally lose myself, I know you could truly help. I’ll leave my burdens at the door, I’ll leave my trash at the altar, And I will live this life, The way you taught me. So In my final steps, Maybe our footing wasn’t perfect, Maybe our wording wasn’t all clean, But in the end you were forever here to love me. Here I am searching for you. So here is my heart I pour it all out, So here is my soul I’ll finally let it go. So here is my life I’ll forever give it up for you.
