Third Eye Realm

The Marine

He's the one in thedress blues

He's the onestanding at attention

He's the onestanding there with my heart in his hand

He was here forawhile.

He left to become aU.S. Marine

When he came back,it broke his heart to see her with someone new

That someone was metrying to hide my feelings for a U.S. Marine

The hardest thing Idid was tell him I didn't love him

The worst thing Idid was lie to him

He knows what I'mthinking

He knows everythingabout me

He knows the rightthing to say

He's the one so faraway.

He's the brave one

He's the in thedress blues.

He's the one atattention

He's the one whofollows orders, no questions asked.

He's the onestanding there with my heart in his hand.

What I Meant To Say

Maybe I didn't tellyou one million times a day

Maybe when I metyour eyes it wasn't the right thing to say

Maybe when youweren't around I missed you terribly

Then maybe you gottired of saying you love me

Maybe I didn't saythe things I should have long ago

Maybe I wish I couldhave one moment, just to let you know

Maybe I didn't tellyou, but I felt the same inside

Maybe I could havesaid it a million different times

Maybe I meant totell you, but it slipped my mind

Maybe you don'tunderstand when I say the words are lame

But maybe I wasscared that you just wouldn't feel the same.

Maybe I made a fewmistakes that I wish I could change

And maybe youbelieved me when I said you were just a phase.

Maybe my wordsturned to lies when I panicked around you.

Maybe you neverreally thought that what I said wasn't the truth

Maybe it's too latefor me to really let you know

Maybe it's killingme to see that I have to let you go.

Maybe you might turnaround and decide that you might stay

Then maybe I couldtell you all those things I meant to say

Forgive and Forget
 

I love you today, asI have from the start.

I love you withevery piece of my heart.

I love you withoutregret;

Forgive and forget.

I love you todaymore than yesterday.

The time apart makesus stronger.

The longer I gowithout holding you,

The longer it willtake for me to let go.

The longer I gowithout kissing you,

The more I'll giveyou.

I love holding yourhand,

feeling your armsaround me,

Feeling your lips onmine,

Experiencing yourlips on my neck,

And the feeling Iget in my stomach when I think of you.

I have loved yousince you first held me

I have wanted you tobe with me every moment we are apart.

I love you without regret;

Forgive and forget.

I just want to beable to look at you and say I don't care and mean it.

I just want to stopbeing scared and lonely.

I just want to feelsomething real.

Something I knowwon't go away.

I wish I had someonebeside me.

I wish I could fallasleep in his arms.

I wish I knew who heis and where he is.

I wish I didn't haveto leave the rest behind.

I know I have myfriends there for me.

I know it isn't thesame.

I know everythinghas to change.

I know I'll get usedto it but I don't know when.

I don't want to careabout them

I don’t want to beso scared.

I don't want to belonely anymore.

I don't want to gothrough the next years blind and confused.

I don’t want toappear strong when I'm falling apart.
