"Head Held High"

Just A Note...
        I wrote this song for one of my best friends. She was going through a rough time when someone close to her passed away. I wrote this to not only to help her get through hard times, but for anyone else that feels like they have no where else to turn to when things get bad. I hope this encourages you all to never let anything slow you down, because everything happens for a reason. Enjoy.

“Head Held High”

Written On: 07-21-10

Verse 1

It’s so hard to see you this way

Broken and torn

Without the right words to say

Watching the tears well up in your eyes

Trying to keep your head held high

Chorus

Sometimes in life

You can’t see yourself through

All you wanna do

Is go back to the time

When you never knew

Because that’s what takes the pain away

But I promise I’m here to stay

These scars make you stronger everyday

Verse 2

It’s so hard to believe you’ll be okay

Exposed and worn

Without any color it turns to gray

Hearing the cries coming from deep inside

Feeling like you’ve got no where to hide

Chorus

Sometimes in life

You can’t see yourself through

All you wanna do

Is go back to the time

When you never knew

Because that’s what takes the pain away

But I promise I’m here to stay

These scars make you stronger everyday

Bridge

Just take yourself back

It’ll keep you on track

If you feel broken and torn

Exposed or worn

Always keep your head held high

And please don’t cry

Chorus

Sometimes in life

You can’t see yourself through

All you wanna do

Is go back to the time

When you never knew

Because that’s what takes the pain away

But I promise I’m here to stay

These scars make you stronger everyday

Ending

It’s so hard to see you this way

Broken and torn

Without the right words to say

I promise I’m here to stay

"Puppet On Strings"

“Puppet On Strings”

Written On: 06-26-10

Verse 1
I keep looking and looking
Tell me where’s my phone
I hope your there
Cause last night
You weren’t home


Pre-Chorus
It’s like your always there behind it all
Except letting you in my mind
Is what I can’t recall


Chorus
Day after night’s the same old thing
You play around with me
Like I’m a clueless puppet on strings
I wanna cut these ties loose
But my heart seems to refuse
So tell me babe what’s the use
Every forgotten message brings
Another day I don’t wanna be your
Puppet on strings


Verse 2
I’m always feeling and dealing
With a lame excuse
I hope you think
Before the next one
Or babe I won’t be amused

Pre-Chorus
It’s like your always there behind it all
Except letting you in my mind
Is what I can’t recall

Chorus
Day after night’s the same old thing
You play around with me
Like I’m a clueless puppet on strings
I wanna cut these ties loose
But my heart seems to refuse
So tell me babe what’s the use
Every forgotten message brings
Another day I don’t wanna be your
Puppet on strings


Bridge
No more lost connections
Or forgotten messages
This time I’ll be there behind it all
Now watching every string fall
Is what I can recall


Chorus
Day after night’s the same old thing
You play around with me
Like I’m a clueless puppet on strings
I wanna cut these ties loose
But my heart seems to refuse
So tell me babe what’s the use
Every forgotten message brings
Another day I don’t wanna be your
Puppet on strings


Ending
Please stop controlling me
And just let me be
It’s like your always there behind it all
I wanna watch these strings fall

"The Ocean War"

“The Ocean War”

Written On: 01-06-10

Verse 1
The skies are blue
Giving the ocean it’s beautiful hue
And you feel like you could dive
Into it’s deep mysteries
Upon long days
And losing your way
You always say
You’ll come back to it someday
But when you put on your brave face
You get hit by a tidal wave

Chorus
When you stand up tall ready to fight
You start to lose sight
Of what’s going on around you
When you begin to pull through
To see some light
You fall back down as you lose the fight

Verse 2
The sun is shining
Warming the turtles aligning in the sand
And you feel like you could walk
Across the shore
But you know
You’ll want something more
You’ve always wanted
To explore the ocean floor
But when you walk at the edge of the shore
You fall in deeper than before

Chorus
When you stand up tall ready to fight
You start to lose sight
Of what’s going on around you
When you begin to pull through
To see some light
You fall back down as you lose the fight

Bridge
Gotta resurface
Time to breathe
Gotta resurface
Time to believe

Chorus
When you stand up tall ready to fight
You start to lose sight
Of what’s going on around you
When you begin to pull through
To see some light
You fall back down as you lose the fight

Ending
Your losing your way
But you’ll come back to him someday

"Stuck In The Moment"

“Stuck In The Moment”

Written On: 04-19-10

 

Verse 1
Time goes by so fast
Even when you make it last
I miss the people we used to be
But now I can see
That it’s you and me
There was just a lot of growing in between


Chorus
Now I’m stuck in this moment
Trying and trying to slow the next down
Cause I don’t want to be surrounded by
Too many empty years that can’t be found
Now I’m stopping our lives
To give us more time
But I’ll always want to be
Stuck in this moment with you


Verse 2
These days seem to fly by
When your not by my side
I know you’ll always come
When I need you
But I hate to see you go each time
We’ve got to live our separate lives


Chorus
Now I’m stuck in this moment
Trying and trying to slow the next down
Cause I don’t want to be surrounded by
Too many empty years that can’t be found
Now I’m stopping our lives
To give us more time
But I’ll always want to be
Stuck in this moment with you

Bridge
Now I’m freezing this moment
And we’re frozen in time
How long does a life take
To pass us by


Chorus
Now I’m stuck in this moment
Trying and trying to slow the next down
Cause I don’t want to be surrounded by
Too many empty years that can’t be found
Now I’m stopping our lives
To give us more time
But I’ll always want to be
Stuck in this moment with you


Ending
But I’ll always want to be
Stuck in this moment with you

"Missing You"

“Missing You”

Written By: Steph Smith
07-17-10


Verse 1
So many nights
You left a smile in these eyes
For once I caught a glimpse of happiness
That I could never begin to describe
But when you leave after so much time
Eventually I won’t make the climb

Chorus
Tell me who was I kidding
Falling for someone
That only goes missing
Tell me what was I doing
Letting this race go on and on
It was a good chase
Until you disappeared without a trace
Now missing you is what I’m left to face

Verse 2
Too much time
You left me hear all alone
While you were probably on the phone
With she who must not be known
Did you think I would forget her
By feeding off everything we ever were

Chorus
Tell me who was I kidding
Falling for someone
That only goes missing
Tell me what was I doing
Letting this race go on and on
It was a good chase
Until you disappeared without a trace
Now missing you is what I’m left to face

Bridge
I don’t wanna deal
With my heart spinning on this wheel
I wanna feel
So much more than missing you
Don’t worry she’ll be safe without this wheel
Spinning back to you

Chorus
Tell me who was I kidding
Falling for someone
That only goes missing
Tell me what was I doing
Letting this race go on and on
It was a good chase
Until you disappeared without a trace
Now missing you is what I’m left to face

Ending
So many nights
You left me hypnotized
Took me to a place
I thought was my paradise
Don’t tell me what to do
I’m done missing you
