Dearest, I'm trying hard to be strong Forgive me if I fall along my way Sometimes even bravehearts need a place to rest You know it's true I'm still fighting my way home to you Forgive me if my eyes don't shine And the tears are hard to hide I'm trying hard to find a smile Just for you Forgive me if I can't find the words to say My heart is heavy and I want you to stay Please just stay My path has been paved with blood shed and scars But you gave me strength to look the other way I dreamed we would Run away Out of the old towns And into the city Start a new adventure Just you and me But can I really be selfish enough? You

I miss waking up in the middle of the night And watching you sleep The way your hair swept across your face Eyes closed and dreaming Lips whispering only words I can hear... The way you put your hands on me When it was only us Don't be shy Close your eyes Nothing can come between us Just you wait and see There will be stars in our dreams Stars in our dreams... when you put your hands on me.

There are parts of me you've never seen The part of me that's just not right The one that cries every night The one that laughs until it hurts The one that acts like a jerk When I'm fighting mad And I do the things that I know are bad Like drink too much Smoke a hair too much I'm just as stubborn as I am sweet Sometimes the biggest bitch you ever did meet My mama says I've got too much pride Well I've never been satisfied with my life... There are still parts of me I hide away from you I try not to let you see when I'm fed up and I'm through I don't want you to see the scars all over me The times that I just don't want to be.
