Time Alone - Lyrics

I never felt I was fit for the cause.
I lay defeated when evening came.
This is not what I payed for, this is not what I stayed for.
The days we had planned, they never came.
They fell victim to Neverland.
This is not what I stayed for, this was not what I payed for.

One step forward, then turn back around again.
I tried so hard, I did my best.

When evening comes and there's no light,
The way to go will be forever lost.
The painful truth is in that time,
I thought that I'd enjoy some time alone.

Those summer days, they've been and gone.
The aftertaste is a bitter one.
This is not what I payed for.
That was not what I stayed for.
I look forward now towards better days.
But I still have to clean my wounds.
This is not what I stayed for,
That was not what I payed for.

I never stood to gain a thing out of this.
What makes you think that I did?
I trusted you like you were my family.
What did I do to change your ways?

Mark Hansell - Indecision

Happy Valentines! Have a love song :)

Lyrics:
My diary was blank again,
it told the story of an empty life,
and I remember how I was back then,
could barely stand upon my own two feet.

Here she comes,
to my rescue,
free me,
and guide me back home,
in the warmth of your arms.

The winter died on early morn',
the summer sun shone down on me,
and I remember how she smiled at me,
the cold would melt and I bathed in her glow.
