"No Hard Feelings"

No Hard Feelings

By: R. A. Cvetich


Pulled back and forth

And caught up in the games that you played

Planning my life around

All the promises you made

Walking your maze and hoping I don’t hit the sinking sand

Cuz there’s no guarantee that this time

You’ll be there to give me your hand

And one day I’ll sink

And you won’t even blink


CHORUS

Cuz I had my heart on my sleeve

While yours was buried beneath

All the hollow excuses

When really the truth is

You never let me see

And you were just walking the fence

While you left me in suspense

Was it really fair

To pretend that you cared

When you had all of me?

And now I’m free.

I never asked to be free.


You held my hand,

Held all my emotions and time

Held me in the balance

Refusing to make up your mind

You made a wound, healed it up

Then opened it again

Over and over til it turned to

Something you would not mend

And you wish me the best

As I clean up the mess


Repeat CHORUS


Bridge

I changed everything to make you happy

And you changed your mind about me

Don’t know who to be without you

And all this time you knew

That you’d leave unscathed

And I can’t be saved

No hard feelings, you say

And you walk away


Repeat CHORUS

"I've Got"

I’ve Got

By: R. A. Cvetich


I’ve got memories of you in my mind

That replay time after time after time

And I try

To leave it behind

But you’re still there

You’re still there

I’ve got a heart that’s still broken in two

That won’t mend, cuz all that can fix it is you

And I’ve tried

To meet other guys

But they don’t compare

No, they can’t compare


CHORUS

To all that we were and all that we had

But I watched you slip right out of my hands

Now I’ve got the sleepless nights and the regrets

The days when the pain’s so bad

I wish we’d never met

But I’ve got all the feelings that I used to

And she’s got you


I’ve got nights when I can’t fall asleep

Missing what I was never meant to keep

And I try

To believe that lie

But the truth attacks

It always attacks

I’ve got the promises you made to me

Useless now—just reminders of what used to be

And I try

To let my hopes die

That you’ll come back

That we can go back


Repeat CHORUS


Bridge

I’ve got the fake smile on my face

Watching as she takes my place

And I’ve got the phrase “Time heals all wounds”

To hide the 2 years I’ve been bleeding for you

Oh I’ve got all the love you never knew

And she’s got you


Repeat CHORUS

Maybe One Day

Maybe One Day

By: R. A. Cvetich

The girl with the piano scarf

And the flower in her hair

She thinks about him all the time

And wonders if he cares

She’s not sure she’s everything he needs

But she’s sure he’s everything she dreamed

And she prays

Maybe one day…


CHORUS

Maybe one day he’ll wake up and realize

The girl that’s right before his eyes

With her heart on her sleeve and

She fights to believe in

The love she’s only seen from far away

Oh she hopes he’ll be the one to show her what it’s like up close

Maybe one day


The girl who’s up late writing songs

Waiting on God’s plan

She prays he’s making out all right

And to be the one to hold his hand

She’s not sure he’ll catch her if she falls

But she’s sure it would be worth it all

And she prays

Maybe one day…


Repeat CHORUS


Bridge

She’s praying, hoping, holding tight

Waiting til the time is right

To let him know

She’s ready to let go

And see true love up close

That’s all she wants to say

Maybe one day…


Repeat CHORUS
