Crying at the Piano
With my heart in chains
Listening out to the whispers
That haunt me again

Surrounded by this blue room
Drowning in this fear
My fingers cold to the bone
Living in this fear

You ask me of my regrets
As my tears roll down
Id tell you its not over yet
But why am I so old

A mass of contridictions
These fears wont subside
They will be here in the morning
They will be here until I die

Can you see the tears roll down? 
Can you feel the pain I feel? 
Can you see the future
My friend? 
Can you see the times Ive cried

Crying at the piano
With my heart in chains
Crying at the Piano
With my
Memories....

Crying at the Piano
What have I done
Crying at the Piano
Why has she gone? 
Crying at the piano
What have I done? 
Crying at the Piano
Oh why has she gone? 

Cry.......
Cry.......
Cry......

Crying at the Piano

Loved and Lost by Burning Book.... "If you was hit by a truck and you was lying out there in that gutter dying, and you had one time to sing one song. Huh? One song that people would remember before you're dirt. One song that would let God know how you felt about your time here on Earth. One song that would sum you up..." (Produced by Kerry Hughes at GN Studios)

Two of a Kind (2022)

An empty room I'm

All alone

What would you say if

I could only call your phone 

All these moments 

Ticking by

What you waiting for?


We said it's over

We said goodbye

But all I do is think about another try

Why is it over?

Pick up the phone

What you waiting for? 


No amount of money

Ever bought a second of time

No amount of money


(Chorus)

And if there's a chance you'll

Take me back 

I'll pray

Forgive me for my sins 

If there's one thing I'm guilty of

It's surrendering

Your power over me


A broken promise

Nobody's home

So much to think about

I never want to let you go

A fading picture in a frame

What you waiting for?


An empty moment

Another dream

All the times you thought about

What you'd be

It's never over

Or too late to start

What you waiting for? 


(Chorus)


And if there's a chance you'll

Take me back 

I'll pray

Forgive me for my sins 

If there's one thing I'm guilty of

It's surrendering

Your power over me


(End)

I've got a book full of words

But nothing describes 

The way that this hurts

I keep saying my prayers

I kneel and I scream

But there's noone there

This silence is hell

This empty room is a prison cell

Please pick up the phone

Don't leave me here

All alone

I miss you

I miss you

I miss you

Please take me back

There's so many things I regret

Ive prayed for chance

And only you can grant me that

Grant me forgiveness

You know I only pray to you

It's you that I worship

Only you can heal these wounds 


No amount of money

Ever bought a second of time

No amount of money ever bought a second of time

I miss you










Missing (2023)

Alone with Everyone

Written and Performed by Gareth Edwards

Make my way into the night
Tonight I might just get it right
When I look into your eyes....

I have seen you out here times before
A feeling that I cant ignore
The Beauty that I saw....

Just one smile
You were gone
And Im alone with Everyone
Just one kiss
That I missed
I never ever felt like this...

Just a face in the crowd
You stand out
From everyone around
Youre something to see
You mean
Everything to me
Youre not just a girl
To me you are the World....

I see you accross the room
You act like you always knew
Youd see me again one day soon...

I could just stare into your eyes
A moment where I dont think twice
Everything feels right....

Just one smile
You were gone
And Im alone with Everyone
Just one kiss
That I missed
I never ever felt like this...

Just a face in the crowd
You stand out
From everyone around
Youre something to see
You mean
Everything to me
Youre not just a girl
To me you are the World....

To the World youre just a person
To someone you are the World
To me you are 
My world
To me you are
The World.....

To me you are the World
To me you are the World
To me you are the World
To me you are the World

Alone with Everyone

A Demo of a song 

I light a candle
I light it and see your face again
I see you smiling
And the sparkle in your eye

You know I miss you
You know how hard its been for me
But you're still my angel
And I know you'll keep me safe

I light a candle
I let your light fill up the room
I hold a candle
I wish you never had to go

I light a candle
I know Ill see you someday soon
Until that moment
Ill be holding a candle for you.....

I sit in silence
And wonder what you'd say to me
Talk through my troubles
I know you would guide me home

Can you see my future?
Do you know the path thats set for me
With you as my angel
I know the map is in my heart....

For a chance to see your face again
Dont you know that I'd give anything....

I light a candle
I let your light fill up the room
I hold a candle
I wish you never had to go

I light a candle
I know Ill see you someday soon
And until that moment
Ill be holding a candle for you......




Candles (2014) Demo

Between God and Money

What do you do?

Two forms of control

Two ways of losing your soul

I see things so different

After talking to you

Years of dedication

And what did it prove?


And seems like me and my friends

Are on the outside

Looking in

I'm on the outside

And I'm looking in

I'm on the outside

And I'm looking in


You were so close

You were so close

To me

But now you're

On the inside

And I'm on the outside

Again...


Now

Don't tell me what to do

I'm fine


So much for "reason"

So much for "time"

We've got decisions to make

We've reached the end of the line


And it seems like me and my friends

Are on the outside 

Looking in

I'm on the outside

And I'm looking in

I'm on the outside

And I'm looking in


You were so close

You were so close

To me

But now you're

On the inside

And I'm on the outside

Again...


(Middle)

I've been

Just looking in

I don't want to face it

I don't want to win

I don't want to fake it

I don't understand

You should get out

When you get the chance 

I just wanted

To believe

To find

Something real

But now I know

I've been naive

I really wanted

To believe

Forget I Said Anything (2025)

Working on an idea.... Lyrics not finalised.......

Where are the ones who said they'd help me?
Where are the ones who said they cared? 
You were the only one who helped me
Yes you did
You were the only one who cared

I know your'e far away
But I still feel the same

Whenever you think that no-one cares
Ill be there
With open arms
With open arms



Open Arms (Ill Be There)

Version 2

I walk gently down the street... 
There's broken glass beneath my feet

Im treading very carefully 
On everything that I could say 
All I want to do is see you 
You opened up the door for me 
Walked into my life that day 
Its now youre gone that I realise 
That I....

I need to see you one more time 
I need to say I care 
I'd die for you 
Wish it was true 
That you were mine... 
I'd die for you 
Wish it was true 
That you were mine....

I walk gently down the street 
You are the only thing I see

Im treading very carefully 
On everything that I could say 
All I want to do is see you 
You opened up the door for me 
Walked into my life that day 
Its now youre gone that I realise 
That I....

I need to see you one more time 
I need to say I care 
I'd die for you 
Wish it was true 
That you were mine

Im walking down this empty road 
And I dont want to be all alone 
I wish that Id said all I had to say 
I guess Im scared to give my heart away 
But Id give it to you.....

One more time 
Just one more time 
Id die for you 
Wish it was true 
Id die for you 
Wish it was true 
That you were mine 
One more time.......

(Written, Recorded, and Performed by Gareth Edwards)

One More Time (You Were Mine)

A track that I have been working on... By Gareth Edwards

Its a long and winding road
Every step Im weary
Since I started all again
And the emptiness I feel
Since you went and left me
Feels like a hole inside my soul

We Lived
We Loved
We Cried
Now Im left asking Why? 

And though my hearts been broken
I know that Ill be open
No prisoner to regret
Ill forgive but wont forget
And everything you promised
Like a light thats breaks the darkness
Learn but dont regret
Forgive but dont forget

I remeber what you said
That you'd never hurt me
So much for promises we made
And now the pictures on the wall
Blow away like ashes
But the memory remains

We Lived
We Loved 
We Cried
No Im left asking why? 
So much 
We threw
Away
And all thats left is heartache


And though my hearts been broken
I know that Ill be open
No prisoner to regret
Ill forgive but wont forget
And everything you promised
Like a light thats breaks the darkness
Learn but dont regret
Forgive but dont forget

We Lived
We Loved
We Cried
Now Im left asking...
Why?

Forgive But Dont Forget

Loved and Lost by Gareth E
A recording of a song I have been working on over the past few days. 


All these moments
Lost in time
I never thought we'd be saying
Goodbye
You are the answer
To all my prayers
How can you leave me going
Nowhere? 

Loved and Lost
It happened to us.....

How can two people
Just drift apart?
When sometimes it feels like we are sharing
The same heart
Is this the moment? 
Is this goodbye? 
The moment it feels like Ive been living
A lie...

Ive loved and lost
It happened to us
Loved and Lost
It happened to us....

Everything can change
But if you need me call my name
And I'll be there.....

I'll always love you
I'll always care
Tell me that you need me and I'll be there
I never thought we'd 
Go seperate ways
But nothing lasts forever
So they say.....

Ive Loved and Lost
It happened to us
Loved and Lost
The hardest part

Everything can change
I know that I will see you again
Anywhere you go
Whenever you need me 
Know
I'll be there......

Loved and Lost
A memory for everyone
Seperate ways
But whatever path you take
I'll be there....

Dont say goodbye
Dont say goodbye
Never say goodbye....
