Mark On My Heart

Folder: 
Band Lyrics

Verse 1:
I cannot get you off my mind.

Those words you said:
Were they just beautiful lies?

Did you sell me an illusion

To believe in the dream of our future?

All I know is that

You left a mark on my heart.

Our spirits and souls are caged in together.

 

Chorus:
You tell me you trust me

Yet, your actions speak otherwise.

Why are you hiding behind your lies?

You are selling yourself short.

You’re not living until you are

Sure of what you want from me.

Tell me: What do you want from me?

You built up these false hopes

Yet, I keep coming back for more.

 

Verse 2:

All I know is that

You left a mark on my heart.

I cannot just let this go so easily.

Out of all my exes:
You are surely worth it.
You are worth the storms that follow.

Wherever you are, I will be too.

You taught me to love

In this harsh world.

 

Bridge:

Tell me: where do we go from here?

I know how deep and true your love is.

Though, this is accepted,

I know we are inertia.

Someone has to force us to be together.

Right here, right now,

We are the only ones that matter.

Right here, right now,

We can break free from what we except

Author's Notes/Comments: 

About a love that you cannot get out of your mind, heart, and soul.

Beating Heart Part 1

Folder: 
Band Lyrics

Beating Heart Part 1

Verse 1:

 With each and every beat of your heart,

I can feel your heartbeat aligned with mine’s.

This beating heart yearns to become

Your’s to keep.

Won’t you take me home tonight?

‘Cause I cannot sleep without you

In my presence.

Hold me tonight,

‘Cause tonight, I’ll be eternally your’s.

 

Chorus:

I never had a love like this before.

Stop your foolish ways of

Pushing me away.

These walls you’ve built up

And the defenses you put up,

I’ll wait for you forever and a day

Because you are my everything.

I cannot do this without you.

Love without restraints.

Love unconditionally.

 

Verse 2:

Can you take on my demons?

Tell me, if you could love me.

This beating heart

Aches to embrace you.

Now, our beating hearts

Have become one

With reality and time.

Won’t you take me home?

‘Cause I’m always there for you.

 

Bridge:

Can’t we try again?

Can’t we love again?

Why must these feelings summon our ending?

Our demise is we feel everything

When it is too late to turn back.

Someday, this beating heart

Will become your’s

Once you realize the errors of your heart.

If only your heart could see me now.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Wrote a lot of songs a few months back but don't really post much in case my work gets plagarized or stolen. Will post "Beating Heart Part 2" momentarily.

Let Go

Verse 1:

If only we could just let go,

Loving you wouldn't be painful.

It's worth going through the motions.

But my love for you is blind.

 

Chorus:
We got to let go of our ghosts.

It haunts you yet suffocates you.

You fun and search for air

But your breath is short.

 

Verse 2:
Out of these things,

I think I love you better.

Our compromises and disagreements

Have strengthen our bond and relationship.

 

Bridge:
'Cause I know you by heart,

Where every you will go,

I will be there.

Always together, always forever.

If only we could just let go.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This is about loving someone who is "broken" or two "broken" people in love.

Dreamer

Verse 1:

When all is said and done,

I cannot help but think

Of our memories together.

Those were the moments 

That made my heart tremble.

 

Chorus:

Tell me, I'm dreaming.

Since the day you let without saying goodbye,

Everything has changed.

We broke up yet

I still never knew the reasons why.

 

Verse 2:
Where ever I go

Pieces of you are still with me.

I'd do anything for you

If only to make you realize

That we were meant to be.

 

Bridge:
Do you remember the day we met?

I still remember it,

Those words your promised me.

Why did you let me go?

I love you so much, so much that it hurts.

 

Last-Chorus:

All I know, All I know is that

Our future plans together went out the window.

All I know is that I'm not over you.

All I know is that I love you.

I love you so much that it hurts. 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Song about an ex that you're still not over. Written November 13, 2016.

Ender

Verse 1:

Remember how we felt for each other?

Throw it all away.

So blinded, I can't see the end.

I fell for your lies.

 

Chorus:

In this story, I write our memories.

There are only happy moments there.

Here, like this, let's remember each other.

Fiction in fiction: I can't be the one for you.

 

Verse 2:
Please end me yet

Please don't go.

'Cause I fell for your potential.

Tell me, do you feel the same?

 

Bridge:

Come away with me.

If I already knew that

Your were mine to keep

And I: Your's to keep,

I wouldn't have wasted time.

 

Last-Chorus:

Wake me up from this dream.

Our memories and heart entwine

It forms a maze of love.

For you, you are my ender. 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This song is based on ONE OK ROCK's "The Beginning". It was written about falling for the potential in someone and then being disappointed when he/she didn't live up to your expectations...

No Matter

Verse 1:

Though, I meet someone new

No one can compare to you.

No matter what we do or the trials and tribulations we face,

If it's you, I can overcome anything.

 

Chorus:

No matter the distance,

Timing is everything.

You belong to me

And I to you.

 

Verse 2:
No matter if we argue,

 We'll resolve it quickly:

Agree to disagree.

You challenge me.

 

Bridge:

No matter the love,

let's keep it going.

If it's just you and me,

We can get through anything.

 

Last-Chorus:
No matter what,

I'll always love you.

'Cause you're my shooting star,

I won't let you go so easily.

 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This song is inspired by the BoA song (feat. Beenzino): "No Matter What" and the Oceanlane song - "You Don't Belong to Me". It's dedicated to my ex (aka first love)... -_- (I don't know if I can ever get over him)

Your's To Keep Part 2

Verse 1:

Etearnally, I'm your's to keep.

Just say we're together, babe.

If I knew you were mine to keep,

I wouldn't have wasted time.

 

Chorus:

Take a chance on me.

Take a chance on us

What have we got to lose?

You're mine to keep.

 

Verse 2:

Don't be afraid of this love.

You don't have to fear this love.

Where there is love, there is peace.

I'm your's to keep.

 

Bridge:

Days go by.

I thought I heard you call out my name.

But, it was in vain.

How I long to hear you say the words: "I Love You."

 

Last-Chorus:

Are you afraid to love someone?

Do you have wounds and scars in your heart?

'Cause you've been hurt before,

I promise I won't hurt you.

For, I'm your's to keep.

 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I wrote this song today as part 2 to the song: "Your's to Keep". It's inspired by Demi Lovato's "Give Your Heart a Break" and Angela Aki's "This Love." Check out those songs. Those thug at my heartstrings.

Take a Chance on Me

Verse 1:
And I love you so.

Take a chance on me.

We'll be each other's goodbyes.

Come on babe, give us a chance.

 

Chorus:

From the moment that we met and

Each moment there after,

I felt like I knew you.

Wherever we'd go, it was together.

It was so natural for you to be with me.

 

Verse 2:

Now, the time has come for me

To confess me feelings that grew daily.

'Cause I love you so,

Take a chance on me.

 

Bridge:

I hope you think of me

Whenever we're together or apart.

'Cause babe, I love you so.

Take a chance on me.

 

Last-Chorus:

And when the time comes,

I'll take you away from here.

'Cause I love you so,

Take a chance on me.

 

 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I wrote this song earlier this year dedicated to my friend's older brother despite being in a long term, serious, committed relationship myself. Friend's older brother is what I call "my dream guy."...I'm not sure what to do. I love my boyfriend but we rarely/hardly spend time together. I'm my boyfriend's "dream girl..." I think the lyrics are self-explanatary. 

Missing You

Verse 1: The further away

             That I am from you

             The more I end up missing you

             I can't hate you for what you did

 

Chorus: I'll always love you

            How and when will this love end?

            Now that I'm no longer your's,

            I can't help missing you

 

Verse2: I can only pray for your happinness

            Even if I fall in love with somebody else,

            You're always going to be the one for me

            Missing you, you've turned into a memory

 

Bridge: Don't forget about the promises that

            We made together

            It was a sign of our love

            Now that I've moved on, I'm no longer missing you

 

Last-chorus:  Though, I call your name out in my dreams,

                    I know that these thoughts and feelings

                    Will no longer reach you.

                    Still, I can't help missing you whenever I'm alone

 

Verse3: I gave you my heart

            I gave you all of me

            Yet, you broke it

            Farewell, my lover

                   

 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I have written many songs but haven't had time to post them up lately. I'll post more when I have time. I just wrote this song this morning. Here's the link to my other songs (sung acapella): ohtheirony1989.bandcamp.com (it's an EP I'm working on, long time coming...currently trying to learn guitar to begin composing those songs). I almost forgot about this account until recently. I hope you enjoy. This is dedicated to an ex (aka my first love). We were together for seven years (2003-2010)....
