"Lost Within Love"

Lost Without Love..
Why oh why must this go on,
The pain is their from dusk till dawn.

Can't someone put my mind at ease,
Or must I beg down on my knees.

I've stopped the things I use to do,
In hope that someday my troubles would be few.

But nothing changes it's the same each day,
Wont someone make the pain go away.

Through the days and through the nights,
My mind continues to put up this fight.

I'm far away in a distant land,
Begging for mercy and to understand.

But nothing changes or so they say,
They teach us of love and how to pray.

My mind keeps fighting from left to right,
Is it day or is it night.


What is the sense of trying to love,
When nothing works out and you feel for blood.

I've determined that my life will be alone,
There's no one to make me feel at home.

'I give up' on this thing called love,
I stand on cliff's praying for a shove.

Too many night's of feeling alone,
Wanting someone to call me on the telephone.

But nothing changes its the same each day,
Wont someone help make the pain go away.

I want to be loved more than anything in the world,
I need to find that very special girl.

One that can see through her heart to forgive,
One that will make me want to live.

How do I say, what I want to say,
Where are my thoughts from yesterday.

Something is changing inside my mind,
She makes me feel like I'm loosing time

Stop playing those games inside my head,
My life was so happy now I'm feeling so dead.

Wait for the moment, wait for the time.
She makes me feel like I'm loosing my mind.

Stop trying so hard, least that's what they say.
Give up on love that's the only way.

Feel for the moment, feel for the day,
She will break your heart, and then ask to stay.

Show her your feelings and nothing more,
If it doesn't work out then show her the door.

Stop teasing my mind, you know what I mean,
I can't take the bull-shit, stop making a scene

I'm taking my time, to find the right one,
But in my mind, the right one is gone.
