but we could end up broken hearted
if we don’t remember
why this all started
and if they try to tell you
love fades with time,
tell them there’s no such thing as time:
its our time
‘cause these are the days worth living;
these are the years we're given
& these are the moments
these are the times
let's make the best out of our lives
I'm two quarters and a heart down
And I don't want to forget
how your voice sounds…
These words are all I have so I'll write them
So you need them just to get by
There's a time in your life when it's now or never
The chance to be apart or the chance to see forever
And there's things that you gotta do that break your heart
But you gotta remember what you thought from the start
Why you fell in love with that boi of yours
Why you know in your heart that he's all you adore
You gotta make sacrafices and feel for change
You gotta know when to fight and when to walk away
And just say
He's the reason I'm happy today
He's the reason that the blue sky came my way
And even though we're not perfect to me...
We're everything that I ever wanted us to be.
And he breaks my heart every now and then
He tells me he loves me and then does it again
But I'm still here hangin' on
Cause I know what we have is oh so strong.
We've got it all underneath this mess
We've got a lot more heaven than we do stress
And I know that if I accept what I don't like
I won't be here cryin' alone tonight.
Life's about memories about what you make the most of
What you fold cause you can't hold and what you can't get enough of.
It's about everything that always came your way
And everything that you never could make stay
So tonight I'm promising you everything I have
All the self control that I let slip while I'm mad.
Just at the chance that in my next lifetime
You'll still be the angel that I'm holding tight.
and
remember the
truth that once
was spoken:
to love another person is to see the face of God.
Why is it that when you're little..
your parents teach you how to walk and talk
But when you're older
they tell you to sit down and shut up?
Tasha's got a room at the county shelter
The cops took her there when her mama got hauled away
Little brother and her can't even stay together
She cries each night wondering why it's gotta be this way
And she says "I wish I was anyone but me"
Yeah she'd pack her life in a heartbeat for a little change of scenery
And she keeps looking for a better place
Somewhere she can wear a smile upon her face
A home to welcome with a warm embrace
There's no way to disguise her lonely eyes
Looking for a better place
Bobby's doing time in youth detention
Pulled a switch blade knife on some boy making fun at school
And all he wanted was a little attention
And a temporary escape from the ridicule
And now he's in real deep with the freaks and the criminals
And he wonders when his time is up if he'll know himself at all
And he keeps dreaming of a better place
Somewhere he can have a little room to make mistakes
A home to help him wash the past away
Oh he don't need too much, just a little love
In a better place
In a better place
Jamie's got a room in a 3-story brick home
Daddy makes a lotta money, mama keeps her laundry clean
And she's got a $200 Abercrombie outfit on
Drives a brand new car that she got when she turned 16
Still she spends every night getting high with her so-called friends
And she's dropping hundred dollar bills on quarterbags, says she's never coming down again
And she keeps looking for a better place
Failing to realize how good she's got it made
Her loving home, she don't appreciate
Oh it's crazy but it's true, she doesn't have a clue
She's living in a better place
In a better place
In a better place
We're all lookin for a better place
