You've Got Me All Wrong

 The things you're saying are so unfair

And they're sure not true of me!

Maybe in your mind they somehow are

But I know differently 

You make me sound so terrible!

When that's not the way I am

How can you see me in such a way?

I just don't understand!

I'm not perfect by any means

I've got plenty of mistakes to show

But I'm not as bad as you're making out

I would never stoop that low!

It's really sad and disappointing

How everything has gone

You've got the facts all turned around

And you've got me all wrong!

The Rumor's Not True

 When I heard about this

I could hardly believe

That people were saying

These things about me!

It hurts me so much!

And it's real hard to take

Sometimes I feel like

My heart will just break!

But I will get thru it!

I'll be ok

And my only defense

Is simply to say

I don't know where it started

And I don't know by who

But here's what I do know

The rumor's NOT true!

Single Again

There goes that dream

I've had for so long

Of love never ending

Like a beautiful song

Right out of the blue

It came to an end

Got left all alone

Now I'm single again!

Well it's no big thing

Today's a new day

The heartache won't kill me

And I'll be ok

Just give me a minute

Gotta do a reset

I'm hurt - but I've got this!

Don't count me out yet!

Since You And I Broke Up

Lately nothing seems to change

And like any other day

I wake up with this broken heart

That just won't go away

The only things I think about

Since you and I broke up

Is how very much I'm loving you

And long to feel your touch

To feel you holding me again

The way you used to do

To talk and laugh and just be together

Would be a dream come true!

But maybe it's only fairy tales

That have that happy end

In any case I'll be alright

And you know where I am

Plea Of A Drunkard

I hate that you've seen me at my worst

When I've fallen as low as I could

Too far down and broken to help myself

Back up to the place I once stood

When life wasn't perfect by any means

And goodness knows - neither was I

But I had it together pretty good then

And I walked with my head held up high

I have my excuses and reasons

My demons and heartaches as well

And like everyone - I'm only human

We all have our stories to tell!

So please don't ridicule and judge me

For the unfortunate state I'm in today

Just count all the blessings in your own life

And wish me well as you go on your way

Bullied - To Rise Above

I see it clearly within your eyes

And in your smile half there

You don't feel loved, not truly so

And you're not so sure who cares

All those hurtful, belittling words

Directed so often at you

Have sadly become your reality

And in your mind perhaps they are true

You hear them so often, they've worn your heart down

To a place where it's too dark to see

That you deserve love, respect and kindness

You do! Just take it from me!

You're not stupid or ugly or dumb

Or any of those negative things!

You're awesome, unique and beautiful too

And someday you will find your wings 

These are the words that you must believe in

For the strength to rise on above

To realize the person who you really are

And to know that indeed you are loved!

I Told You The Truth

Of all the experiences

I've had in this life

There's one I can tell you

Just cuts like a knife

To be called a liar

Like you've done to me

Is a total injustice

I can hardly believe!

Take my word or not now

That's up to you

My conscience is quite clear!

I told you the truth!

You Broke My Heart

I can't believe

What's going on

It's like a dream

That's gone all wrong!

You say you love me

Well if that's true

How could you

Have been so cruel?

I don't deserve

What you put out

Cause that is not

What love's about

It's giving what

You hope to get

Consideration

Care - respect

Instead you tear

My world apart

You did me wrong

You broke my heart! 

Since You Cheated On Me

 I've got one hell of a problem!

My heart is in pieces you see

I can't seem to get it together

Not since you cheated on me

I really love you - You know that

The light of my life you have been

But love without trusting is nothing 

So how can I trust you again?

I'm lost and confused in my misery

With memories of all the good times

Mixed with this rage here inside me

I feel like I'm losing my mind!

You know you always could trust me

But I'm wondering - what would you do

If you were the one here in my place

Knowing I'd cheated on you?

Let Me Come In

You say nothing's wrong

That all is ok

Then why - may I ask

Do you push me away?

I'm out in the cold here

Without any clues!

I can't even guess

What's the matter with you!

Is it something I did?

Maybe something I said?

I'm wracking my brain

And it's wrecking my head!

But what hurts the most

Is my poor little heart

All this rejection

Just tears it apart!

I love you so much

This is too hard to take!

So let me come in

Honey! Give me a break!

Can't You See Me?

Rushing here and rushing there

Seems you're needed everywhere

Responsibilities you can't ignore

And no matter what - there's always more

Your time flies by - so much to give

Every day that's how it is

"Bye - I love you - have to go!"

Familiar words I've come to know

Well - I love you too - very much!

And I need your time - I need your touch

It's so hard for me to understand

Can't you see me? Here I am!

You Really Hurt Me

If I didn't care

As much as I do

I wouldn't be feeling

So down and so blue

You really hurt me!

Though I guess I know

You may not have meant to

I'd like to think so

But I can't just forget

And then push it behind

It has no intentions

Of leaving my mind!

So I wanted to tell you

This hurting won't end

Till everything's right

Between us again!
