Here's Looking at You, Kid

Move forward from the broken heart
Leave it in the past
Let go of all the pain
Of the love that didn't last
Start fresh with your story now
It hasn't ended yet
You've got more to do
With your life than regret

She tried to love me well
And love me right
But I just couldn't be there enough
She needed someone by her side
When everything was getting rough
But I've been gone so far
For so very long
And I thank God
That she found someone
So I'll tell myself to...

That you didn't fight like hell
To be by her side
Regret
That you couldn't be there
Through her darkest of nights
Regret
That you didn't speak up
While you firmly held your peace
If you love her like you say you do
Then let her go
Let her be free to

Move forward from the broken heart
Leave it in the past
And let go of all the pain
Of the love that didn't last
Keep living out your story now
And I'll love you just the same
We've got so much more to do
Than regret what our lives never became
I'm grateful that we got the time we did
And I'll always consider you my friend
This is not goodbye
It's just "The End."

This is not goodbye

The Silent Siren

I'm no Romeo
No I'm no fickle soul
Rosaline who?
Rosaline, you are sorely missed
You're not my baggage
You're my muse
Every word I've written
Is soaked in thoughts of you

You're the silent siren
Calling out to me
Begging me to speak now
As I forever hold my peace

You’ve been knocking
I’ve been running away

“If you love her let her go”
Seven words of guidance
I wish I'd never known
Can I decide it ‘s her
Or no one at all
Even if you want me to fall in love again?

You’ve been knocking
I’ve been running away

Love brings action
My hundreds of millions of seconds of silence
Are proof that it’s more than just courage I lacked
It was love
‘Cause love brings action
There is no fear in love
True love trades fear for boldness
And if I don’t have the courage to speak the truth
Then I don’t have the courage to love

You’ve called me out
You’ve opened my eyes
Now I’ll open my mouth

You’re the shrieking siren
Calling out to me
Telling me to speak now
Or I may never have true peace
