Silently
Copyright Songstress Publishing, ASCAP
Another night in a sleepless town.
He lays his soul and his whiskey down.
A thought of you might pass him by,
spin his heart around.
Silently- he watched you walk away.
Silently- he let those feelings fade.
Silently- he keeps memories at bay.
Does he come out unscathed?
The bed is made of chrome,
and those motel walls are stained.
There's a Bible by the bedside,
but no God, no God to ease his pain.
Darkness, please be kind to him, because you see...
he's the man I love even if he don't love me.
Silently, I watched him walk away.
Silently, I let those feelings fade.
Silently, I keep memories at bay.
Do I come out unscathed?
In a better time, or a world more fair...
I'm sure he could have loved me
if he'd never cared-
for the smell of her perfume,
or the way she fills a room
with more promises than me.
Silently, we watch the ones
we love walk away.
Silently, we let those feelings fade.
Silently, we keep memories at bay.
But do we come out ...
Tell me, do you think that we come out.. .
do we come out unscathed???

So Why?
Copyright Songstress Publishing, ASCAP
Guess our love took a dive today
Snuck out the window when you turned away
I'm not ok, It's not ok
Slowly sipping thoughts of you
and a mediocre wine to get me through
it's not my way, I'm not ok
Guess I love you like rock and roll
No matter what I do, I just can't let go
Toughest thing that I ever done
Is falling in love with you
and hanging on...
So why, so why, so why
should I fall a little harder
So why, so why, so why
should I hurt a little more?
So why, so why, so why
should I love you a little longer?
I believe that love's worth fighting for....
The search for love can take so long
but it only takes a minute to get it wrong
where did we go wrong?
Are my chances gone?
Tell me babe what do you want me to do?
All of my thoughts keep coming back to you,
Help me make this right
Don't leave me here alone tonight.
Guess I love you like rock and roll (repeat)
Love is the only thing that matters. Love is the only there is...
So why, so why, so why (repeat)

One of the Finer Days
Copyright Sonsgtress Publishing, ASCAP
I leave you with your shadow on my shoulder.
My stunted dreams, my heart a little colder,
and tomorrows rainbow in my eyes.
You see me only getting older.
There's a restless girl inside, and no one can control her.
There's just so much love and life left to try.
You said you'd love me forever,
and as long as we stayed together,
things would only get better and better-
You were wrong, you were wrong, you were wrong-
When you told me that you'd hold me,
God forgive me, I believed you, I was only dreaming.
Let's just say, that was one of the finer days.
I believed you, tried to please you, did everything and anything I could do-
Lets just say , that was one of the finer days.
You'll tell me I dont know what I'm saying.
I'm in one of those moods where my mind keeps changing
but they'll be something in my eyes
that stops you from holding on...
Yeah you said you'd love me forever (repeat)
I leave with your words echoes behind me.
I leave with your sadness in my smile.
I leave because our kingdom it is crashing-
Doubt has entered Paradise...
Yeah you told me that you'd hold me,
God forgive me, I believed you, I was only dreaming.
Let's just say, that was one of the finer days.
I believed you, tried to please you, did everything and anything I could do-
Lets just say , that was one of the finer days.
