lousy friends

this is how our story ends
we were lousy lovers
and we're worse as friends
no-one's heart recovers
from the words we've spoken
freedom comes at such a cost
what we built we've broken
love's labours lost ...

this was the love

For years I never reconciled

your cruel with your kind

or your magic with your mind

but always hoped that we could find

a way to make this tangled web unwind

so close your eyes
open your heart and take my gift
to heal the pain and mend the rift

This was the love I had for you

It was good as gold

It was sweet enfold

It won’t grow old

It won’t go cold

This was the love you had for me

it was heart and souled

it was uncontrolled

it won’t grow old

It won’t go cold



These are the people we're meant to be

We’re bright and bold

We're brave untold

We won’t grow old

We won’t go cold

so close your eyes
open your heart and take my gift
to heal the pain and mend the rift

Virtual feat

Zach: Hi mum
J: Hi baby how was your day?
Zach: Well it was pretty annoying actually. We were supposed to be going for a walk around the village in Geography lesson but it was raining so the teacher said 'Get out Google maps' and we had to go on a virtual walk instead!
J: You're kidding!
Zach: No I'm not and what's more my virtual feet are very sore from all that virtual walking!

Misplaced trust hurts more than misplaced lust ...

Your cruel and unusual punishment
has no need for more embellishment
'Sticks and stones' is what you say
as your words take all my breath away

Let me place it on the record
Let me give you due accord

I didn't open up my heart to you
to help improve your aim
I didn't tell you all my secrets
so you could make me feel their shame

Just because you can...

You can use me and abuse me
You can treat me bad and make me sad
You can tell me how sweet our lives will be
and you can change your mind and lie to me

but just because you can
it doesn't mean you should

You can promise me the moon and sun
You can tell me I'm the only one
You can take my fears turn them to tears
You can slowly break my heart for years

but just because you can
it doesn't mean you should

You can say that you can't bear to lose me
That if you had the choice you'd choose me
You can seal it with a loving kiss
Make yours the smile I'll always miss

but just because you can
it doesn't mean you should...
