I'd Rather Have You

So, second song in two days, but I just felt the urge to write again.  Hope nobody minds. :P

I'd Rather Have You

The world swims around in intoxication

The church plods on in desolation

Indulge or destroy the desire inside

Pick your poison, choose your side

But Who put this longing inside of our hearts?

The One who designed us right at the start

And I'd

Rather have You

The One that everything

Points back to

And my heart

Won't have to die

Cause if I'm a hollow man

What good am I?

What good am I?

"Love the Lord with all your heart."

But every day, we kill the spark

It whispers to us in the dead of night

"How can you say that this feels right?

If your heart is stone cold, how can you love?

The wildest Life is the one from above."

I'd

Rather have You

The One that everything

Points back to

And my heart

Won't have to hide

Cause if I'm a safe man

What good am I?

The people of Heaven are not silent types

Living in complete disregard for their lives

Beheaded or tortured or hung on a cross

The greatest of gain through the greatest of loss

This life is a story, the world is the stage

We don't know what's coming when we turn the page

But I'd

Rather have You

The One that all our hearts

Belong to

And my heart

Won't have to fear

Cause if I can't trust You

Why am I here?

I'd

Rather have You

The One that everything

Points back to

And my heart

Will sing to You

For every beautiful thing

You do

For every beautiful thing

You do

My heart

Will sing to you

For every single thing

That you do



"One-Sided Romance" - Sometimes Dreams Aren't Mutual

It seems to be the story of my life; feelings arise, and continue to grow until I finally can't hold it in anymore and I just have to tell her.  Up until that point I'm always thinking the feeling is mutual (or at least hoping it is), but...it usually isn't.  Someday the story will be different, but I haven't yet found evidence of it.  It's a good thing our hearts don't need evidence to believe, or I'd be lost.

One-Sided Romance

Must it always end like this?

I put it to words, but somehow they miss

Descend into hopelessness

I must have imagined it all

It seems the fault lies with me

I always give away my heart too easily

I must have misread you somewhere

As the hooks withdraw, they catch and they tear

I'm sorry, my darling

I just had to ask you

I wish that you cared as much as I do

Loneliness pierces my heart like a lance

I'm sorry I crafted this one-sided romance

Each time, it's the same

It happens so often that I am ashamed

I thought it'd be different this time

Wishful thinking isn't really a crime

I'm sorry, my darling

I just had to ask you

I wish that you cared as much as I do

But for some reason I'd hoped that by chance

This love wouldn't be a one-sided romance

It hurts too much to say goodbye

And yet friendship hurts the same

But for your sake, I'll dry my eyes

And I'll always remember your name

I'm sorry, my darling

That I had to ask you

You were my dream, but some dreams don't come true

My hope is dissolving with one final glance

I'll try to forget our one-sided romance
