Oh, love of mine
I still find myself lost within your eyes
The warmth I'm feeling comes as no surprise
On each new day,
You never cease to take my breath away
You keep me grateful for the life we're building
Until the end of days
I promise you I'll always feel this way
When we're both old and grey
I promise you I'll always feel this way
I will always feel this way
Oh can't you see
Somehow you still bring out the best of me
You're all I was searching for, for my whole life
A matter of time
There's never been a shred of doubt in my mind
I wanna spend forever by your side

To all my friends and former lovers,
I promise I'll recover
And I will not stay bitter
I'll use this time to try and clear my head
And let good memories fill the space that's left
So far my life has been a beautiful disaster
Still you kept running back to me
And you can't force what's surely coming to an end
I'll let you all go gracefully
To every lover, every friend,
I'll see you through to the end
Because I am not a quitter
Through all of the ugly, good, and bad
I'm grateful for every second we still have

Cracks In The Pavement

Bookend two years of my life
A perfect resolution, these loose ends sewn up tight
But now you're falling
You're falling through the cracks in the pavement I laid out in my head
You wore down my best defence
Now you slowly but surely cut me down to size
I'm torn back to reality, it should come as no surprise
That I got caught up in the web you spin
When it's myself that I despise
It's just a pattern all too familiar
It should come as no surprise
Now I keep my feelings at bay
Don't wanna leave the impression I'm aiming them the wrong way
Still you're falling
It's you fell for this misguided attempt I made at trying to find out who I am
What a mess I'm in

Jar Jar Binks (Acoustic)

I’ve been feeling this thorn in my side, Feel its poison seeping inside
With every breath you still take mine away, But I never was able to stay
I swear I’m not trying to run away from you, But my heart doesn’t know what to do
I swear I’d give you my all in another life, but right now we’re just living a lie
I let you walk away from me, now it’s all that I ever see
And one day I won’t be there when you return
One day
Now this poison is finding its way, to each memory of much brighter days
You find a way just to keep it inside, while I’m stuck in this fight with my pride
I wish I knew how to be much more genuine, but my soul says that you’re not the one
I swear I’d give this all up in another life, but my choices left us here to die
