Smiling


Smiling because I know you are too

Frowning because I hoped you would understand

Crying because you left me here alone

Laughing because I know that God is good




Smiling because you’re here for always

Frowning because I wish that it were true

Crying because you make me feel so helpless

Laughing because I know that life is fair


Smiling through my teary eyes

Frowning through the pain

Crying through the truth and lies

Laughing through the rain

I want to be...

a loving teacher
a speedy help
a level head
a welcome distraction
a tidy mind
a listening ear
a shoulder to cry on
a genuine friend

I pray to be...
strong in You
weak in myself
sincere in my praise
silent in my criticisms
impartial in my love for others
biased towards You
content in Your Will
dissatisfied with mediocrity
dead to myself
alive in You
more like You

I hope to be...
counted on
smiled about
looked to
trusted in
sought after
thought of
prayed for
remembered well

I loved you because...

...you were real.



I loved you because you made me smile, for real.
I loved you because when I was with you I couldn't think of myself.
I loved you because when I wasn't with you all I could think about was you.
I loved you for what you cared about
and I loved you for what you helped me to care about.

I loved you because I was naive.

I love you now for what you are.
I love you now for what you have made me to be.

And when I feel like giving up
And when I can't make sense of anything
And when nothing heals the aching wound
When hope is dashed, and dreams are smashed
It's because you're not here anymore
and because I've grown up.


Life isn't always like that,
Life isn't always filled with you,
But I still thank God for the times I did love you
because it was those times that changed who I was supposed to become.

Don't worry, I'll get over you.
Just give me time.
And love me anyway.

I will love you indefinitely,
and I'll swear on that.

Disappear

10-04-07

Vs 1:

I never saw those eyes

Those lips that say I love you so

And smile as I ask you why

I never thought it’d be

Your hand I want to hold, to feel

Your shy kiss say goodbye


Chorus:

Cuz you’re all I ever think of

Though I didn’t know your name

And I’m standing on the brink of

Going crazily insane

Tell me that I’m not mistaken

I know angels sent you here

And I wonder can I touch you

Or will you disappear?


Vs 2:

I never knew if you

Were here or there or not to me

A boy, a man, a mystery

I never felt so free

My heartbeat racing, hoping still

Wake up, leave me amazing


Bridge:

Get out of my mind

Before I make you real

Extraordinary fine

Is how you make me feel
