So many ways

Verse 1:
My mind can only imagine
All the pain your heart felt
But my heart feels it too
That‘s why it’s calling you
I can only say I’m sorry
So many hundred times
But this is a thousand and
one
Coming from this heart of mine

Chorus:
My hearts calling out to you
Can you hear it’s song?
It’s singing sorry, so sorry
For all those things I’ve done
I didn’t mean to hurt you
Didn’t mean to make you blue
Please, come back to me, Baby,
Cause my heart’s calling out to you

Verse 2:
If I could only turn back time
I’d never say those words
But the damage has been done
So your heart cries out with hurt
But across the time and space
My heart calls out to yours
So that you can understand
That through it all, our love endures

Chorus:
My hearts calling out to you
Can you hear it’s song?
It’s singing sorry, so sorry
For all those things I’ve done
I didn’t mean to hurt you
Didn’t mean to make you blue
Please, come back to me, Baby,
Cause my heart’s calling out to you

Bridge:
Can you hear it’s call?
It’s calling, calling
Can you hear it’s plea?
It’s pleading, pleading
Can you hear it’s song?
It’s singing, singing
To you

Chorus:
My hearts calling out to you
Can you hear it’s song?
It’s singing sorry, so sorry
For all those things I’ve done
I didn’t mean to hurt you

Cause my heart’s calling out to you

My heart's calling out

Verse 1:
Cold winds blow
Over our lives
They make us stop
And think twice
Are we really in love
Or just playing games
'cause the way that we feel
Is just not the same

Pre-chorus:
Do I still love you
Do you still love me
Questions we ask
'bout the way that we feel
Can we go on
Living like this
Or just say goodbye
With one last kiss

Chorus:
Even though this looks like the end
Girl I'll always be your one true friend
Even though this looks like the end
Please know that on me you can always depend
We had something special
That stays in our hearts
Even though now it seems like
We may have to part
But though seasons change
I'll still remain
True to you

Verse 2:
I used to hold you
And look in your eyes
But now when I stare
It doesn't feel right
And you also say
That you don't feel the same
Are our sunny skies
Now pouring with rain

Pre-chorus:
Do I still love you
Do you still love me
Is this for real
Let's not hide how we feel
Can we go on
Living this way
Or are these the words
That we need to say

Chorus:
Even though this looks like the end
Girl I'll always be your one true friend
Even though this looks like the end
Please know that on me you can always depend
We had something so real
That stays in our hearts
Even though now it seems like
It's fallen apart
But though my heart aches
Girl I'll still stay
True to you

Bridge:
It looks like we've come
To the end of the road
And we both know that
We've got to let go
But though we turn
And walk away
Inside my heart
You'll always have a place

Chorus:
Even though this looks like the end
Girl I'll always be your one true friend
Even though this looks like the end
Please know that on me you can always depend
We had something special
That stays in our hearts
Even though now it seems like
We may have to part
But though seasons change
I'll still remain
True to you

Even though this looks like the end
Girl I'll always be your one true friend
Even though this looks like the end
Please know that on me you can always depend
We had something so real
That stays in our hearts
Even though now it seems like
It's fallen apart
But though my heart aches
Girl I'll still stay
True to you

True To You

Verse 1
I've walked these roads so long
I've traveled far from home
And I sing a lonely song
Cos I feel so all alone
But now I come to you
And I hope you understand
That I can see in you
Home for this lonely man

Chorus
I'm just a lonely guy
With no place to go
I've traveled far and wide
But I ain't got a home
Thought I'd talk to you
Hear what you'd say to me
Cos inside I'm slowly dying
And I can't count those
Days and nights I spent crying
But now I realize
That my home is in your heart
And girl that's where I'll always dwell

Verse 2
I've seen so many lands
None ever felt like home
And I came to understand
That my heart would always roam
Then I discovered you
And I found where I belong
Cos I think I've finally found
What I searched for all along

Chorus
I'm just a lonely guy
With no place to go
I've traveled far and wide
But I ain't got a home
Thought I'd talk to you
Hear what you'd say to me
Cos inside I'm slowly dying
And I can't count those
Days and nights I spent crying
But now I realize
That my home is in your heart
And girl that's where I'll always dwell

Bridge
I've walked these roads now
For so long
And for long I've wandered
Far from home
But now I know
We'll never part
Cos I've found my home
In your heart

Chorus
I'm just a lonely guy
With no place to go
I've traveled far and wide
But I ain't got a home
Thought I'd talk to you
Hear what you'd say to me
Cos inside I'm slowly dying
And I can't count those
Days and nights I spent crying
But now I realize
That my home is in your heart
And girl that's where I'll always dwell

About Me

Bio

Song Lyricist

CV/History

I began writing poems in 1999, after the untimely death of my mother. It helped me deal with the pain of her passing. I gradually went on to write songs and I've been writing since 2001. I hope you enjoy my lyrics. If you do please consider recording them as I get great joy from hearing my words come to life as great songs.
