Head up your ass

This is not the way to live
One day I won't give
You're always running short
On emotional support

How long will you last
With your head up your ass?
How far must you go wrong
Before you realize you can't go on

My old father

I doubt if you still love her, or just accept her by your side
You're still together, but you're marriage ain't right
She doesn't want to lose you and you accept her fight
I know all about it, cause mom and I look alike

You've told me many times you're not afraid to die
Why would you, if you're seventy-five
But I think you're waiting for my life to be fine
I think I'm what keeps you alive

Dad

I can't change the choices I've made
If I'm late, I'll always be late
If time ain't on our side
I can't turn the tides

So many things you'll never see
Cause you were 47 back in '83
I am 28, you're 75
I don't wanna live wondering how long you'll be alive

Broken hearts and nails

The Western myth
Of a life well lived
Where everyday should be a gift

This is the fairytale
With broken hearts and nails
Where succes fails

My happiness got crushed
Cause I think too much
If I save me, you'll get stuck

I can barely believe the life that awaits
I have a superman who loves me, with a house that's great
And now I feel bad about leaving my dearest roommate

Thorny rose

I am a damaged girl with a past
Every time I get happy I wonder if it'll last
I lost my faith in men
I always think I'll end up alone again

Who dares to love me?
Who dares to love this thorny rose?
It looks to lovely
But it hurts when you come to close

Promise me no promises
I drive myself crazy with my thoughts
I shouldn't give in to this
These crazy ideas and these plots

Can you teach me how to breathe again?
Can you restore my faith in men?
Can you love me without running away?
Accept that I'm crazy and still choose to stay?

Mental criminal record

Do I still like myself after the crimes I committed for attention?
I am a prisoner of my own mind waiting to be released from detention
I am mentally resigned when I am looking for love and affection
Didn't momma teach wrong from right regarding sexual attraction?

I have gone down the wrong road looking for confirmation
It's nice you want to f*ck me all but I need a true love relation
How could I let myself slip down this slippery slope?
How could I have lost myself and lost my last bit of hope?

I hung around too long, it became too obvious
I was that girl pretending to be looking for "just lust"
Everyone could see I was surrounded by loneliness
I felt everyone looked at me like I was a waste and a mess

And I'm ashamed to look in the mirror cause what I'll see
Is my mental criminal record and my drugs and sex CV
But I can't turn back time, in order to be happy
I must learn I can't love anyone if I can't love or forgive me

Magic

I believe in karma, cause revenge is not done
All you who hurt me, will be the lonely ones
Cause I have a man who believes in me
Who knows my darkest thoughts and doesn't leave

We don't have to be perfect, cause we're good enough
We finally understand the mathmatics of love
Searching for perfection is wrong
Cause we have had this connection all along
You are the closest to magic I will ever come

Dear me

Dear me,
I've become all that I wanted to be
I am freed of childhood bullies
I have won the quest for popularity
I wanna be the best friend I could be
I wanna hear all your stories
But it's too much to help you all personally

Dear you,
I've been searching for the best
I've put put myself to the test
I've had you all in my bed
All who thought I was a nice piece of flesh
Now I can say I've no interest
Cause true love has answerd my quest

The truth is right before you

Sometimes I just want to flee
I am ready for a holiday away from me
I wanna be the best friend I could be

But sometimes you all wear me out
His behavior is without a doubt
What else can we talk about?

We overanalyzed, you're out of your mind
It's no use talking about it, if you're blind
I have reached the point I want to be unkind

I want to say it to your face
You wanna catch him, he only wants to chase
When he gets you, he'll go away, you hope he stays

You wait for him at the bar, you stare at you phone
Isn't it better to go home alone
Than to feel bad about letting yourself go?

Your talk about him is a lot of hot air
You're creating something that isn't there
You think the sex is special, but he doesn't care

When he has had enough, he'll ignore you
He isn't looking for love, he doesn't adore you
He doesn't lie about it either, the truth is right before you

What friends are for

Don't be afraid to lose that facade
To show me a glimpse of your true face
I am your friend and I am here
Not just for the laughter, but also the tears

Cause we all have the same questions on the inside
Is this my best life? Am I living it right?
Is true love that fire and chemistry?
Or is it that best friend, always reliable, but not always as sexy?

We question what job to choose
Why we fall in love with fools, freaks and ghouls
Will we ever know what it feels like?
To have everything all right and live a quiet life

We all feel lonely in our own way
Some feel bad over loves they had and others miss their mother on their birthday
Our hopes and fears are all the same in the end
But for some it's called the mortgage and for others the rent

Is there really anyone in true times of need?
Who can you really trust when it feels like we're all indiscreet?
Some of us need to learn more than one lesson
The truth about friendship and showing compassion

Even though we don't always act like we should
We're there, we care, and our intentions are good
Some of us judge too harshly and some are too sweet
You may get a pat on the head when a kick in the butt is what you need

Some may take you down, when you want to be taken in
Some may judge you hard because they recognize their own sins
Be yourself, no need to pretend, no need to act tough
We’re all just humans looking for warmth, acceptance and love

Someday we’ll combine loving and caring with good advice
So we can give others what they need because we’ve turned old and wise
But in the meantime we all have to learn things trial and error
We fall and get up again, we learn and we mend, that's what we're friends for

Please forgive me if I can’t make the sun shine
I’m just your friend if that’s fine
We’re imperfect, but we’re worth it
Let me make my mistakes and I’ll embrace yours every bit

It’s a struggle to admit, but as long as we don’t quit
Years from now we’ll laugh about it
Weather I adore you, I bore you or our friendship is unsure
We fall and get up again, we learn and we mend, that’s what friends are for

Snow

I walked to you in the snow
It seems like ages ago
We said cheerio

I'm gonna see you again
My most cheerfull friend
You will be back in Holland

But I will come to visit
I'll have to wait for my paycheck
Then I will book my ticket

It seems like ages ago
I remember how I felt walking in the snow
But you cheered me up, that's why I love you so

Cross my heart

My emotions and thoughts surprise me
I think I am reacting like a baby
But you blocked me on facebook, so what are you?
You're nothing but a childish man, a baby too
I don't wanna be resentful, I thought I had matured
I thought I was past this, my ego had been cured
It doesn't hurt, I just don't think you deserve her
Some how you should suffer like I suffered
After all this time I still feel so much hate inside
I cross my heart and hope you die

Perfectionist

There's never enough time in this world to do all the things I like
There's never enough hours in one day, my schedule's too tight

I wanna see all my friends once a week, work hard and go sporting
I guess my life is what's happening while I'm planning

Sometimes I get too tired of my own unrest and stress
I imagine five years from now it will be a lot less

But by then I'll still be the same, this feeling won't leave
Cause for a perfectionist there's always something new to achieve

From one liar to another

I lied to you and I was sorry
I bought you presents and more honesty
You said you never thought I'd be like that
Our friendship had a crack

I kept secrets, you said I was a coward
You spent all day crying at work
You doubted there would be a day
We could put this behind us and it would be okay

And I support you
Even when you fall for wrong men
I'm there for you
If you have a financial problem

I support you
When you have an abortion
I'm there for you
When you go back to him for more torture

I make our house into a nice home
I clean your towels, I cook you food
I'm there whenever you feel alone
I'm there when you're in a bad mood

I help you solliciting
My friends are your friends
I never ask for anything
I live by your demands

Now I found out who's the real liar here
You steal from my friends,
You're still wrapped around his finger
You make me watch my back, drop my stadards
I lost respect for your adventures

My better half

I gave it some thought, I gave it a try
What my life would be like, without you by my side
It wasn't that bad, it was alright

But each time I saw you, I knew
What I thought had died inside, grew
I don't want any other man in my life but you

I thought my feelings weren't like before
I just cared a lot about you, nothing more
There were times I couldn't be more sure

But then I saw you and I felt butterflies
I wondered what my life would be like with you by my side
And now I know, it's fucking alright

You and I are where I wanna be
Great lovers and a great team
You are the better half of me
