What I Know

My heart is young, it does not know
How sour things can really go
It knows not yet to sacrifice
Lest later pay a larger price
Guess I thought you'd answer loud and clear
Guess I don't know what I'm doing here
Cause I'm just learning as I go
And all I've got is what I know
Oh, what do I know
Oh, what do I really know
The deed was done, the years had passed
I should've known it wouldn't last
I guess you reap just what you sow
And all I've grown is what I know
Oh, what do I know
Oh, what do I really know
Oh, what do I know
Oh, what do I really know

That's enough
This time I'm too tired to try to act tough
I've been afraid for years
To try to say what's really causing all these tears
As for love, why do I keep pretending
I might get a happy ending,
That I know what that would mean?
So tonight, I'm coming clean
I think I need somebody this time
I think I need somebody this time
I can't bear this burden if it's all mine
I think I need somebody this time
And how does it feel to be so cold?
Just because you're stronger doesn't mean you get control
And I've kept my silence
I've held my peace
Just waiting for the screaming in my head
To finally cease
And you knew I was on my own
There's no one to expose you
When your victim's all alone
And I'll admit, you had me quiet for a while
But this time I'm gonna sing till I remember how to smile
Cause I'm gonna find somebody this time
I'm not gonna hide your secrets inside of me
And I'm not afraid to swallow my pride
The next time I bleed somebody will find me
I'm not scared to need somebody this time
The fight you thought you killed has not died in me
I'm gonna be somebody this time
I'm gonna need somebody this time
You don't own me this time

Separated

To my beloved:
I'm sorry it's taken so long to write.
I'm still in the midst of finding out what I've done wrong... and right.
And I believe someday we'll laugh at the things that consume our lives-
Assuming the part of our hearts that still knows how to love survives
But how can you know, without traveling time,
Mistakes that were yours and the ones that are mine?
So while on our separate roads we go along,
I thought that I'd write you a song.
And in the beginning I foolishly searched for a book of rules
For trying to fix something that I thought was broken, without the tools
But who's to say we're qualified to give or to take?
To mend yours or my hearts or allow them to break?
All I know is I'm thinking of you all along,
So what can I do, but write you a song?
I don't know if you'll stay or decide you should go,
But whatever happens, I need you to know
My heart has grown weak, but my love remains stronger
Than I could express in a song.

Growing Up
06:23

Long ago, but very near
Two best friends held each other dear
One a girl, and one a boy
Only kids of eight and nine
Only holding hands until their dinner time
But it was real, in Illinois
And when the winter came
They loved each other just the same
Just a boy and a girl, together
Growing up
Later on, in their lives
Their friends were finding husbands, finding wives
But not the boy, and not the girl
Out of school, twenty-eight and twenty-nine
And realizing their love
Was only a matter of time
And in a day, they became each other's world
And on their wedding day
They were kissing in a different way
Just a man and a woman, together
Growing up
In sickness and in health she vowed
But it came back to haunt her now
Cause as it always seems to be
Perfect things end suddenly
And even on her knees each night
Even though he put up such a fight
The angels took him away,
Gave him one thing to say:
I love you
On the porch, the day he died
Heaven knows how many tears she cried
A lonely woman, for a man
And late that night, in her sleep
In her dreams he showed her,
Love runs further than skin deep
And for a moment, she could feel his hand
And she began to sleep before the night
Just to dream of him still by her side
And soon she slept, this time forever
A boy and a girl again together
Remembering their lives, and never
Growing up
