Precious Love

 

You called it love

The day we met

I am the one

You can't forget

You'll cherish me

Year after year

Refer to me

As love or dear

I'm in your mind

I'm in your heart

It tortures you

When we're apart

You place your trust

And faith in me

You share my hope

Of what could be

You comfort me

And treat me kind

Help me focus

When I am blind

I'm all you want

I'm all you need

Believe in us

So we succeed

You find no fault

And place no blame

You live no lies

Instill no shame

You give me faith

To quench my soul

If I am weak

You take control

You set me free

And let me live

If I should need

It's yours to give

You are content

I'm satisfied

We dance through life

Your by my side

I'm in a dream

I'm still alone

This precious love

I've never known

Laugh At Me

 

I still hear their laughter

It echo's in my mind

Just a piece of yesterday

I wish I'd left behind

I've always been their fool

They'll always be my pain

And these feelings from my past

Are driving me insane

If I hide my face to cry

I live on sympathy

And if I stand up strong

There's foolish pride in me

Whenever I forget them

They claim I am unkind

But if I try to please them

The more fault they find

If I try to be myself

There's something that I lack

And if I act like someone else

They laugh behind my back

I'll never be accepted

I've been a fool to try

They've laughed since I was born

They'll laugh until I die
