Asking Too Much

When I ask... who cares?
am I asking too much?
staring at the silence in your eyes

All you show are fears
when I reach out to touch
you seem to be comfortable with lies

you run from honest love
and defend your pretenses
truly unconditional love
just fires up your defenses

and the open giving heart
is used, abused, or taken for granted
except in fairy tales
where we pretend love is enchanted

When I ask... who cares?
is it too many questions?
tacit acceptance of mutual disguise

All you show are fears
in your passive rejections
protected by caution painted wise

you run from honest love...

maybe another chorus and refrain
will come before the question
comes around again

maybe another reason and a rhyme
will excuse the wasted love
and waste of time

...

Just Another Heart (Learned To Lie)

just another heart
torn up by love
trusted too much
pray to above
for some kind of healing
and some kind of feeling
to return
let it burn

just another soul
broken by love
hoped for forever
wasn't enough
to keep on living
to keep on giving
one more day
let it stay

but there is no hope left in me now
i fake it as if i still know how
there is no faith left up on my shelf
how can there be when i don't trust myself?

just another heart
given to love
all of my trust
all i dreamed of
beyond my reach now
without why or how
i am gone
carry on

for there is no hope for me anymore
i paint a happy face on my door
but it is closed and no one knows
without trust the inner truth never shows

there is no saving grace
there is no peaceful place
there is no dream to chase
there is no smiling face
unless you lie
so learn to lie

just another heart
waiting for love
hoping for trust
praying above
just another soul
waiting for love
hoping for trust
praying above
just another soul
no how or why
just another heart
learned to lie
learned to lie
learned to lie

just another heart
waiting for love
hoping for trust
praying above
