A touch of Sweetness

Can't You See

EFJ

Out in the dark all alone
I’m looking for you
Stranded in the cold
I’ve brought a coat for you

Can’t bear to just watch
Want to help so much
Seeing you all alone bearing the pain
Why can’t you just accept my aid

You try to put on a strong front
It is perfectly fine to break down
After all you’re only human
There’s only so much you can take

I’ve always been here can’t you see
Always been true is it so hard to notice
All you know is how you’ve been crushed
Just look and you’ll see what I want so much

For now guess I’ll just have to suck it all in
Guess I’ll have to be satisfied with how we are
Know I’ll always be waiting
For the day to me your heart’s ready to open up

love,
EFJ

Hope

EFJ

Looking into the night sky
Saw a moon so round
Remembering the memories she cried
Closed her eyes as tears rolled down
Gone with the wind her hopes so dear
Broken into pieces her delicate heart
Not coming back what she held so dear
Just move on no matter how hard

Drying her tears she is trying
Walk away she has to
A hand held out with a handkerchief
A sudden warm embrace she’s pulled into
“Don’t cry alone anymore it hurts me
I’ll be there for you I promise
Here rest on my shoulder”
And again she broke into tears

When all hope is gone
Thought she couldn’t go on
A warm soul pulls her in
Told her she has to breathe

She lay gazing at the night sky
Looking at the sparkling stars
Looked to her side and cried
Thankful for the soul that’s given her hope once more

love,
EFJ

Heartbroken

EFJ

I feel like giving up can’t stand it anymore
Hoping for you to notice I get crushed all the more
Wishing upon a star something I never believed in
You’re the only one who made me like this

Standing in the hallway waiting for you
You think that’s just something best friends do
Absolutely no idea have you
I do this because I like you

You’re the one I want you’re the one I need
Why can’t you understand can’t you see
The way you make me smile the way my heart beats for you
I don’t believe it neither can I comprehend but I know it’s true

I stare down the path we used to take
I wonder how it’ll be walking as more than just friends
I have to no matter how long it takes
This broken heart I have to find a way to mend

You’re the one I want you’re the one I need
Why can’t you understand can’t you see
The way you make me smile the way my heart beats for you
I don’t believe it neither can I comprehend but I know it’s true

I walk down the road all by myself
To whom I love I dread this goodbye
If I don’t this suffering would never end
I have to stop dreaming for something I can never have
So to you I have to say goodbye
And I hope to never think of you again

love,
EFJ

Cold

EFJ

My patience is thinning
My blood close to a boiling
Can’t find anyone to break my fall
Feel like ending it all
I stretch out my hand
Desperate for comfort
All I grasp
An empty space full of hurt

I seek warmth I seek comfort
I’m left in the cold I’m all alone in the dark
Why can’t it be so simple why’d I have to go through this
Is it so difficult am I asking for too much

I want to break away
I need a breather
Can’t I go for just one day
Without anyone to bother
All I need is time
It can’t be fulfilled
Even if on the surface it all seems fine
What goes on inside no one bothers to see

I seek warmth I seek comfort
I’m left in the cold I’m all alone in the dark
Why can’t it be so simple why’d I have to go through this
Is it so difficult am I asking for too much

And when all else fails
This is the only way I know how
When my emotions are swayed
All I do is sit and think of a song
‘Coz when my patience is thinning
My blood close to a boiling
And when I can’t find anyone to break my fall
I just might end it all

love,
EFJ

Come to Me

Come To Me

EFJ

The face full of joy hides so much sorrow
I stare into your eyes and now I know
But baby please don’t hide
I’m always here by your side

Why do things have to be so
Why can’t it go the way you hoped
You keep asking you keep searching
But what is it you’re actually finding

Things are not always what they seem
We don’t always get what we dream
But sometimes what we have is enough
You just have to realise and be tough

Every night you cry yourself to sleep
You close your eyes and hope it’s all a dream
You keep telling yourself you have to be strong
You have to know once in a while it’s ok to break down

It’s not always a happy ending
At some point we’ll all end up crying
That’s what makes life more worth it
To fight for the happiness we all seek

You think you’re all alone
You are scared to depend on anyone anymore
Don’t you know I still am will always be here
To wipe away all your tears and protect you from your fears

It’s not always a happy ending
At some point we’ll all end up crying
That’s what makes life more worth it
To fight for the happiness we all seek
Things are not always what they seem
We don’t always get what we dream
But sometimes what we have is enough
You just have to realised and be tough

The face full of joy hides so much sorrow
It hurts so much to not know

love,
EFJ

Smiling Eyes

EFJ

Smiling eyes
Cheerful smile
But who really can penetrate so deep down
Who really can understand this soul
This joy that hides so much sorrow

She tries so hard to keep it down
She tries so hard to let it go
But she can't survive for long
For soon she's been figured out

Smiling eyes
Cheerful smile
But who really can penetrate so deep down
Who really can understand this soul
This joy that hides so much sorrow

Such a lass
So fragile yet so strong
Who really can figure it out
What's going through her mind

So happy
So joyful
But who really can comprehend
This soul that hides so much
This heart that's silently breaking apart
Smiling eyes
Cheerful smile
But who really can penetrate so deep down
Who really can understand this soul
This joy that hides so much sorrow

love,
EFJ

You

EFJ

I'm on my bed
On the way to LalaLand
And the last thing in my head
Is you holding my hand
I open my eyes
Back from LalaLand
And the first thing on my mind
Is you holding my hand

Because you entered my life
When one-by-one they left
And when all else fails
Only you can make my day

Whatever I'm feeling
Up down or nothing at all
Your smile comes to mind
Brightening this 'lil world of mine

Because you entered my life
When one-by-one they left
And when all else fails
Only you can make my day

As I sing this song
All I can think of
Is your hand in mine
The way our fingers intertwine

I'm on my bed
On the way to LalaLand
And the last thing in my head
Is you holding my hand

love,
EFJ
