not ready to make nice - the chicks

now ready to make nice

Forgive myself, sounds good
Forget, I'm not sure I could
They say God can heal everything
But I'm still waiting
I had so much doubt
There's so much I had to figure out
I paid a price, that I keep paying

I'm now ready to make nice
I'm now ready to back down
I'm doing well, but I'm tired of the guilt
Going round and round and round
I just want to make it right
And I would do it if I could
'Cause I'm doing well
Can finally bring myself to forgive
Me the way I should

I know addiction said
"Why can't you just get over it?
I turned your whole world around
And you don't like it"
I made my bed, and I sleep like a baby
With one regret, and I don't mind saying
It's a sad, sad story
When a mother will teach her daughter
That to her I'm a perfect stranger
Now how in the world
Can these words that I write
Show I stepped away from that edge
I'd write them a letter
Saying that I'm better
But I can't cause
Now our friendship is over

I'm now ready to make nice
I'm now ready to back down
I'm doing well, but I'm tired of the guilt
Going round and round and round
I just want to make it right
And I would do it if I could
'Cause I'm doing well
Can finally bring myself to forgive
Me the way I should

I'm now ready to make nice
I'm now ready to back down
I'm doing well, but I'm tired of the guilt
Going round and round and round
I just want to make it right
And I would do it if I could
'Cause I'm doing well
Can finally bring myself to forgive
Me the way I should
Forgive me the way I should

Forgive myself, sounds good
Forget, I'm not sure I could
They say God can heal everything
But I'm still waiting

this is a repost

walk on water - eminem

I wanna walk on water
Just like Jesus
I wanna walk on water
But only when it freezes

Why, are my expectations of myself so high?
Is it the bar I set?
My arms, I stretch, but I can't reach
A far cry from it, or it's in my grasp, but as
Soon as I grab, squeeze
I lose my grip like the flying trapeze
Into the dark, I plummet
Now the sky's blackening, I know the mark's high
Butter-flies rip apart my stomach
Knowing that no matter what words I come up with
Someone's gonna hark, gripe, and tell me my faith is shallow
So I scrap these, as pressure increases, I fall on my knees
I feel the ice cracking, because

I wanna walk on water
Just like Jesus
I wanna walk on water
But only when it freezes

Time to go back to Carman's The Standard
Back to the first time Jesus and I met
Always in search of the sin that I haven't dealt with yet
Will this step just be another misstep
To tarnish whatever love or respect, I've garnered?
My walk has to be perfect, a Christian life before you flawless
And it always feels like I'm hitting the mark
'Til I go sit in the dark, look at it, and pick it apart
God's given me all this
Still I feel no different regardless
People look to me to point them to God
If only they knew, sometime it feels like a facade and it's exhaustive
And I try to not listen to nonsense
But if Satan is trying to strip me of my confidence
Mission accomplished

I wanna walk on water
Just like Jesus
I wanna walk on water
But only when it freezes

'Cause I'm only human, just like you
Making my mistakes, oh if you only knew
I don't think you would love me the way you do
'Cause I'm terrified to let you down

It's true, I'm a Rubik's, God's beautiful mess
At times juvenile, yes, I goof and I jest
A flawed human, I guess
But I'm doing my best to not ruin your expectations
There was a time I had the world eating out my palm
Everyday I try to encourage others to keep going on
And now I'm struggling to rewrite this song
But how did my faith last this long?
Begs the question, though
Especially after I reaped what I'd sown
As yesterday fades and the old kingdom is burnt to the ground
And all that's left of all I owned
Those days are long gone
And it's time to put the past down
Rebellion declines, that curtains drawn
I'm closing the set, sin still poking it's head out from behind
And everyday has doubt and reminds me
Now forget your pain, forgive them and then do it 1,444 times
I'll lie and say I no longer care and not let you see
'Cause I can't let this memory go without a fight
One day my life be gone, outta sight, outta mind
Can God made something from mine?
But when I do leave this life, though, I'll be fine
Please don't cry or sigh
But that final bow will be divine, but for now

I wanna walk on water
Just like Jesus
I wanna walk on water
But only when it freezes

'Cause I'm only human, just like you
I been making my mistakes, oh if you only knew
I don't think you would love me the way that you do
'Cause I'm terrified to let you down
If I try to walk on water, I would drown

addiction - bryan martin

I'm a darkness that comes in any size
You can't hide me they can see it in your eyes
Sinner or saint I'll have you believing lies
But I'll be with you till the day you die

Hiding in the shadows down the street
Just waiting for the chance for us to meet
Once I have you I won't let you go
Jesus can have your heart,
But I have your soul

You can try to put me down but you'll always fail
This ain't my first rodeo gonna put you through hell
As you lie in bed with the sweats and the shakes
I'll be waiting over here when your fever breaks
Make you steal from your mom, make you steal from your dad
I'll make you sell everything you have
Forget about your kids, forget about your wife
'Cause I'm the only thing that you need in life

Well I didn't come to you, you came to me
So I'm not the one to blame you see
You talk about all the things you changed
When the morning comes I'll still remain
You can hear the voices calling down the hall
Ain't nobody there 'cause you've lost it all
Come next week you'll be living in the street
Don't worry brother I got all you need

Well I come in many forms whiskey and pills
Cocaine, porn, whatever spins your wheels
I've been bought, and I've been sold
Once I'm in your system I take control

My names addiction it's a powerful name
If you don't believe me come and play my game
I took the best and watched them go insane
Just kicked back and watch their lives go up in flames

Im a darkness that comes in any size
You can't hide me they can see it in your eyes
Sinner or saint I'll have you believing lies
But I'll be with you till the day you die

changes - nu breed

I ain't never walked no line
I can't claim to be a perfect saint
But I promise you I'm one of a kind
I been handcuffed, faced all my dirt
I been dressed up, ready for church
I've been betrayed, my heart is been broken
And I broke some hearts and I ripped em open
I'm just a man. I made mistakes
Never settled down, living place to place
I been ashamed and I've been proud
I can laugh about it or break down
Never been too good at love
Never had a love that would love me back
Never cried out to God until I needed help
I was lost in sin and went way off track
I been sick and tired, I've cried the blues
I heard people sayin that I'm bad news
And that's half the truth
But, you only gonna see the half of me that you want to
I've chased dreams, I've wasted time
I've hurried up, just to wait in line
But, I've paid my dues, I can't wait for mine
I got a legacy to leave behind
No matter what you think of me
Just keep it real and don't be fake with me
Dont talk that trash unless you're facing me
And if you think I'll fail
Just wait and see
Cause God seen me through it all and now I'm not afraid
The blood, the sweat and too much pain
I've lost it all and got it all to gain
So, I'm on my way, thank God I've changed

Everybody changes, good or bad
But it's up to you, what path you choose
When your backs up against that wall again
And you feel like everything's just fallin' in
Everything changes, better or worse
The real truth hurts
You only get what you deserve

Everybody changes, good or bad
But it's up to you, what path you choose
When your backs up against that wall again
And you feel like everything's just fallin' in
'Cause everything changes, better or worse
The real truth hurts
You only get what you deserve

Everybody changes and everything changes
The real truth hurts
You only get what you deserve

Cause everybody changes and everything changes
The real truth hurts and you only get what you deserve

Never switched up, Never sold out
Heartbreak and pains all I know about
I need happiness, I'm gettin' older now
My momma needs a better house
And one for my little sister too
So, I've gotta get my feet on the ground
Gotta do this here with nothing to lose
My friends have seen me struggle at times
But, I did good a couple of times
Look how far I've came with a troublesome mind
When I could failed and came crumbling down
I've did dirt, I've been kicked in it
Built a house of pain and I lived in it
Been badmouthed and talked down on
So, it feels good to put a smile on
And I promise that I'll never go back
To that place that I lived in the past
To the person that I used to be
Cause I'm finally free at last
So, if I never make it in rewrites
Just know that I made it in life
And that's more than I could ever ask for
And I think I'm doin' alright
No matter what you think of me
Just keep it real and don't be fake with me
Don't talk that trash unless you're facing me
And if you think I'll fail, just wait and see
Cause God seen me through it all and now I'm not afraid
The blood, the sweat and too much pain
I've lost it all and got it all to gain
So, I'm on my way, thank God I've changed

Everybody changes, good or bad
But it's up to you, what path you choose
When your backs up against that wall again
And you feel like everything's just fallin' in
Cause everything changes, better or worse
The real truth hurts
You only get what you deserve

Everybody changes, good or bad
But it's up to you, what path you choose
When your backs up against that wall again
And you feel like everything's just fallin' in
Cause everything changes, better or worse
The real truth hurts
You only get what you deserve

Everybody changes
And everything changes
The real truth hurts
You only get what you deserve

Cause everybody changes
And everything changes
The real truth hurts
And you only get what you deserve

hear me crying - nu breed

Hello I'm not here right now but please let your message after the beep and I will return your call when I can <beep>
Hey Ghostdog it's Dennis I'm just wondering how you been, I been trying to reach you for awhile, been going to the places we hang out at and no one knows where you are, I know you've going through a lot right now but dude you got a lot of people who care about you and type of thoughts you've been having lately will lead to a no good outcome bro, there's a lot of people out there who still need you, so don't sell yourself short, anyways I just wanted to hear from you so hit me up when you get this, keep your head up and remember God's got you.


Locked away in this cage of mine
This misery is always on my mind
So afraid of this heart of mine
This emptiness it gets me every time
Want to run away from this life of mine
These memories eat me up inside
So I fade to black and I turn out the lights
Then I call out to God
Can You hear me crying?
Are You here with me?
Are You listening?
Can You hear me crying?

Are You here with me?
Are You listening?
Can You hear me crying?

I turned into someone I shouldn't have
Broke the trust of the friends I once had
Got these thoughts once again
How I lost it all due to sin
Living in fairy tales and make believe
Then waking up from those dreams
Feeling like I was born to lose
And that's the excuse I give to use
But I can't forget the sin I was raised from
And I'll never forget that outcome
Now a days I just feel numb

Locked away in this cage of mine
This misery is always on my mind
So afraid of this heart of mine
This emptiness it gets me every time
Want to run away from this life of mine
These memories eat me up inside
So I fade to black and I turn out the lights
Then I call out to God
Can You hear me crying?
Are You here with me?
Are You listening?
Can You hear me crying?

Are You here with me?
Are You listening?
Can You hear me crying?

When the smoke cleared I was still standing
But in a million pieces from a crash landing
Broke and alone but I'm not suprised
That's what happens when you compromise
I felt lost inside and had no reason
Asking God why He keeps me breathing
He showed me my life had meaning
This will pass it's only a season
I may have made some bad decisions
but I only had good intentions
I wasn't dealing with my addiction
And one day it lead to my conviction

Locked away in this cage of mine
This misery is always on my mind
So afraid of this heart of mine
This emptiness it gets me every time
Want to run away from this life of mine
These memories eat me up inside
So I fade to black and I turn out the lights
Then I call out to God
Can You hear me crying?
Are You here with me?
Are You listening?
Can You hear me crying?

Are You here with me?
Are You listening?
Can You hear me crying?

tattoos and scars- montgomery gentry

A young kid stepped in from the cold
And he opened up a drink
He said don't look surprised old man I'm tougher than you think
If I was the talkin' kind I could tell you a thing or two
And since you didn't ask, let me show you my spiritual tattoos

He said I got this one in Memphis after a preacher gave me a dunk
Picked this one up in Dallas, man I sure was good and Holy Ghost drunk
And you know the way I see it, if it gets any worse out there
A Christian like me hasn't got a prayer

The old man put down his Bible
He said take some advise from me
Sat down his glasses and rolled up his sleeve
Said take a good look here my friend
You see what these are
Just my ragged old and jagged spiritual scars

He said I got this one in a war before you were born
And this one when I was half your age Satan nearly took my arm
And you know the way I see it, son you ain't seen what I've seen
Cause spiritual tattoos and scars are different things

He said I've been serving God for all these years
And what I know is this
If you look and listen close
A man will show you where his heart is
You know the way I see it, you've been 'round but you're still green
Cause spiritual tattoos and scars are different things

A young kid stepped in from the cold
And he opened up a drink
He said don't look surprised old man
I'm tougher than you think

where you left me - sean williams

I don't know what to say or where to start
How I thought we fell in love or how I let you into my heart
You promised you were different and that you felt the same
It's crazy how fast things change

Cause you want me only when you want me
But when I needed you, you weren't there
But when you call or text I come running over
I just wish that you could see how that ain't fair
Well I didn't know my worth so I let you walk all over
So I'm done with games and sitting on your shelf
Jesus changed my heart that's what set me free
Now I won't be where you left me

It's been so long I can't remember when
The last time that I felt this good or felt like me again
I tell myself I'm strong enough from what you put me through
I'm better off on my own than running back to you

Cause you want me only when you want me
But when I needed you, you weren't there
But when you call or text I come running over
I just wish that you could see how that ain't fair
Well I didn't know my worth so I let you walk all over
So I'm done with games and sitting on your shelf
Jesus changed my heart that's what set me free
Now I won't be where you left me

I used to blame myself for what you done to me
But now I know all the lies you made me believe
I might of given you my all but now you won't get the best of me

Now when you want me I don't come running
And when you need me I won't be there
When you call or text I'll just change my number
Cause I see you never really cared
And I know my worth and now I know I'm worth it
And you will never see me sitting again on your shelf
Jesus changed my heart that's what set me free
Addiction I won't be where you left me
Addiction I won't be where you left me

older - sasha alex sloan

a rewrite

I used to shut my door
While my father screamed in the kitchen
I'd turn the music up and try not to listen to every little fight
'Cause the verbal abuse wasn't right

I swore I'd never be like him
But I was just a kid back then

The older I get the more that I see
My father is only hunam, he'sjust like me
'Cause parenting is hard, it don't always work
You just try your best not to let your kids get hurt
I used to be mad but now I know
Sometimes it's harder to let some pain go
It just hadn't hit me yet but
The older I get

I used to wonder why, why he could never be happy
I used to close my eyes and pray for a whole 'nother daddy
Where everything was fine, one that trated us better than mine

I swore I'd never be like him
But I was just a kid back then

The older I get the more that I see
My father is only hunam, he's just like me
'Cause parenting is hard, it don't always work
You just try your best not to let your kids get hurt
I used to be mad but now I know
Sometimes it's harder to let some pain go
It just hadn't hit me yet but
The older I get


The older I get the more that I see
My father is only hunam, he's just like me
'Cause parenting is hard, it don't always work
You just try your best not to let your kids get hurt
I used to be mad but now I know
Sometimes it's harder to let some pain go
It just hadn't hit me yet but
The older I get
