I Gotta Learn (I'm A Better Man) (05.02.07)

I am losing you
Yet again
I can’t keep
A hold of you
It’s as if
My heart
Is leading a coup
Against all I hold dear,
I can’t stay here
Not at all

I got a lot to learn
My insides burn
For you again
I hate to go
Through all this pain
Everytime I betray you

Now that I’m
A better man
You can’t keep
Your hands off me
You say I’m
Like a tree
All bark and no bite
But then
I gave you a fright
When I told you I lied
To protect how I died
As a friend
And came back your lover,
Now there is no other

Flowers For Megan (05.02.07)

I brought flowers to your door
You looked at them
As if you didn’t
Love me any more
You broke my heart that day
So I re-entered the fray
I’ve failed myself
In my quest for you
It’s now a thirst
I’ll never quench

These flowers,
Brought just for you
Lie on the ground discarded
Like my hopes
For redemption

The flowers
I brought for you
Were sweet
As the morning
I met you


These flowers,
Picked in early morning showers
Were for you, Megan
But you were too coy
To see my ploy
To win you over
It’s like the day
I lost Rover

The light has gone
From my heart
Now I live
In the dark
Without you

The day you died
I swear
I never felt
So electrified
And mystified
By your ways
Which any
Blind man
Could gauge
But still
I’m troubled
With questions
That have no answers

You were my light
In my times of darkness,
Still I pray for you
And the life we shared
I still remember
The flowers
I brought for you

I still bring flowers
To your grave
And you still
Haunt me
In my dreams
And I still remember
I brought flowers
For you, Megan
