He Said He Loves Her

      HE SAID HE LOVES HER

he said I love you. . .
  she said I don't know what to say to that.
    he wasn't in her mind, and there ain't nothin' he can do.
so he swallow hard. . .
  screamed through the Afghan night.
    tryin' to figure out how he had read the whole thing wrong.

and in the silence
his heart begins to unravel
he never knew her
and he never will now.

Fallin' into love a slow painful climb.
Puttin' his heart back out on the line.
Closin' the door on all the pains he used to know.
Fallin' into love a stumble back on to his feet.
Burnin' inside from a moon lit heat.

And finding out that he has to just let it go.

he know's she'll call. . .
  him out of the blue some day
    and she'll think she's talkin' to who he used to be.
So when he tells her. . .
  he needs to just stay alone.
     his heart breaks as her voice cracks when she says goodbye.

and in the silence
his heart continues to unravel
she never knew him
and she never will now

Fallin' into love just fucked up his life.
Puttin' his heart right back under the knife.
Closin' the door on all the dreams he he'd hoped for.
Fallin' into love knocked him off his feet.
Burnin' again on that dead end street.
And finding out that he has to just let it go.

Oh and nothing feels as bad as letting go.

He said he loves her.

WHY DID YOU

      WHY DID YOU
    ( a kay jay song )

we're not the kind of person,
   who falls quickly in or out of love.
but you had all our affection,
   right from the start.

to have a lover,
    who loves us.
but we've such a fragile heart,
   yet still you have our attention.

why did you come here
when we have troubles enough
why do you call to us
when we have had it so rough

make us lie to ourself
that we don't need you
you're with someone else
we are just an unknowing fool

you make us pray
for what we should not
your pull so strong
on all the weakest parts of us

why did you come here
only to pass us by
we need to see you
to know that love is just a lie

Feeling guilty worried,
   tormented in our sleep.
This love has us wrapped so tight,
   but love always cuts too deep.

If you choose us now,
   we'll eventually lose out.
Changing your allegiance,
   will just fill our heart with doubt.

why did you come here
when we have troubles enough
why do you call to us
when we have had it so rough

make us lie to ourself
that we don't need you
you're with someone else
we are just an unknowing fool

you make us pray
for what we should not
your pull so strong
on all the weakest parts of us

why did you come here
why couldn't you just pass us by
why do we have to love you
why do we need to hold you tight

why did you come here?
