This is my response I wrote to @xbethjo 's original song "Blue Eyed Angel". Beth if you have any problem with me posting this please let me know, I'll take it down right away. I own nothing but the lyrics and my voice. The rest belongs to beth.
The chords are Em, C, G, D.

Thanks for today
My Green Eyed Hunter
I wouldn't have made it without you
I won't fade away
My Green Eyed Hunter
What sort of friend will I be if I do

Every time I tried to reach for that handle 
You'd be there holding me back
Saying 'close your eyes and breathe you'll be alright'.
Every time I caused a whole new disaster
You'd be there as my heart beat faster
I know that when you're with me, I'll be alright. 

You've got my hand and, I'll hold your heart
I'll be here for you like from the start
You'll hold me close like you did before
You are my something worth living for

Every time I tried to reach for that handle 
You'd be there holding me back
Saying 'close your eyes and breathe you'll be alright'.
Every time I caused a whole new disaster
You'd be there as my heart beat faster
I know that when you're with me, I'll be alright. 

You've got my hand and, I'll hold your heart
I'll be here for you like from the start
You'll hold me close like you did before
You are my something worth living for

Paris Holds the Key (To Your Heart)

We'll Go From There

Hell, help me, you’re so high
I forgot what it was like
To be held when I hurt
Something I don’t deserve
And you’re beautiful when you smile

I can’t help who I am 
But at least I know you understand
What it means to be seen
When there’s no one else
And we’re all lost in denial

So you can take your time
And I’ll do whatever you ask
Maybe you were right
Oh i can’t forget
That time you said
I go too fast
Too fast for you

I think I live too long
Remember days in the desert
The stars in the sky
I found you every time
But I don’t know where I belong

So you can take your time
And I’ll do whatever you ask
Maybe you were right
Oh i can’t forget
That time you said
I go too fast
Too fast for you

How slow do I make it 
How far till I break it
I can’t let it show, I can’t let you see me

How long do I hide it
This feeling inside it’s 
Trying to eat me, please just believe me

So you can take your time
And I’ll do whatever you ask
Maybe you were right
Oh i can’t forget
That time you said
I go too fast
Too fast for you

Too Fast

Every time I see you
I think I fall in deeper
It’s the way the sunlight hits your hair

Such a sacred creature
You really think you need Her
Don’t you know there’s really no one there

When you gave away your weapon
That’s when I gave you my heart
All these days I’ve just been waiting
For it to start
Won’t you let it start
 
I loved you from the first time, first time
You could never be mine, be mine
But maybe we can share a conversation
And a glass of wine

I loved you from the first day, first day
That’s when I gave myself away
As long as we can share a conversation
I’ll be alright

You know I’m a liar
But let me be your driver
Take you anywhere you wanna go

Always an outsider 
I would face the fire
If it meant i never had to be alone

I see you from a distance
And then you say my name
You make it sound like it’s a blessing 
Not a thing profane
No i can’t stay

I don’t mean to tempt you
It’s just all i know
Just like you can’t help shining
I’m standing in your glow

I loved you from the first time, first time
You could never be mine, be mine
But maybe we can share a conversation
And a glass of wine

I loved you from the first day, first day
That’s when I gave myself away
As long as we can share a conversation
I’ll be alright
I just wanna talk and talk to you
till the morning light
Yeah i’ll be just fine

First Time

Though I'm not sure how it happened,
You were mine, 
For a while.

But I should have seen this coming,
You see good luck,
It's not my style.

Though I tried so dam hard to pull you out,
I wasn't strong enough to save you,
You're not coming home now,

So, you're just one more person I let down.

(Chorus)
My god, what's happened here?
Cas, please, come back to me.
Without you I'm not really home.
And I gave everything,
To pull you out with me.
I swear, it wasn't my fault.

Now I'm on the road with Sammy, 
But this old life, 
it's not the same.

It doesn't feel right here without you.
After all this time
I guess I've changed.

Now I'm seeing you everywhere I go,
It keeps on looping in my head,
The moment that I let you go,

Now you're just one more person I let down.

(Chorus)

I guess that's what I do, 
I drink and fuck and steal and lie,
I'm the reason that my father died,
but believe me man, I really tried.

But I just let you down, 
Like everyone I care about.
I only wanted you to stay with me.

My god, what's happened here?
Cas, please, come back to me.
Without you I'm not really home.
And I gave everything,
To pull you out with me.
Dear god, don't let it be my fault.
