"Been There, Dumped That"

Been There,

Dumped That

by: R. A. Cvetich

Boy, I was crazy about you a long time ago
And when it ended I had nothing to show
But endless tears and wasted years
That will never return
Just memories and tragedies
And pictures to burn

CHORUS
And I'm better off alone
Hanging with friends instead of waiting by the phone
So glad we're through
And I hear you got yourself someone new
But you won't hear me make a sound
Yeah, she can have my hand-me-downs
And I don't ever want you back
Because I've been there, dumped that

Boy, I was missing you some time after I left you
But then I thought about the things that we've been through
And I realized that all your lies
Had turned my world black
And your lie called "love" that I was dreaming of
Wasn't worth wanting back

Repeat CHORUS

Bridge
Boy, you've been messing with my head since the day I called you mine
But now I realize you were just a waste of time
Fake words you said were all I read
In all your stupid letters
You tried to be the one for me
But I deserve better

Repeat CHORUS

And I'm loving being out on my own
You were great for the time, but boy, you've been outgrown
And people say we're a perfect match
And tell me we should be attached
They say that I should take you back
And I just say...
"Been there, dumped that"

Repeat CHORUS

"Confession"

Confession

By: R. A. Cvetich

I have a confession to make
And it’s not going to be easy to say
But you, you have to know
Before, before I go

And it’s been a long time coming between you and me
I had you for a year and then I set you free
And ever since that day I’ve wondered why
Why I, I said goodbye
It may have been the biggest mistake of my life…

CHORUS
And I’ve been crying oceans since you left
Since you’ve been gone, I’ve been a mess
And now all I want is just to have you back
I said I’d love you ’til the day I die
But now I know that was a lie
Cuz I’m gonna love you for so much longer than that
I know it’s been more than a year since we’ve been through
And I’m sorry but I’m still in love with you

I know you hate these songs I write for you
So I will try to make my words be few
But you, you have to see:
You were the best thing that ever happened to me

And I know you’ve got someone new now to love
But you’re still the only one that I dream of
God knows I’ve tried to stop so many times
But you’re, still on my mind
And now I am way out of time…

Repeat CHORUS

Bridge
All I want is for you to be happy
And I see you’re not happy with me
So I will let you go
But please, always know
That no matter what you do
There will always be someone who loves you

Repeat CHORUS

Falling

by: R. A. Cvetich

God, I know that I've strayed so far
And I've been pushing other things into Your place
And the harder that I forced them in
The more I pushed You away
I'm tired of putting my hope in things of this world
Things that never satisfy
And so I'm giving my whole self away
Tot the God that never says goodbye

CHORUS
And I'm falling madly in love with You
I give You all of my heart
Instead of holding on to emptiness
I'll hold the hand that holds the stars
You've lit a fire deep within me
And Your love just feeds the flames
You've given me brand new life
And I'll never be the same
The plans the world had for me have fallen through
Now I'm falling into You

So many days I've wasted holding to this world
Held on so tight and long that I was blind
Clinging to a life lived far from You
Desperately wanting what's behind
But now I'm letting go of everything I once held dear
And giving You my whole heart to fill
I'm falling back into the arms of my Savior
I surrender my life to Your will

Repeat CHORUS

Bridge
My Lord, this life has hurt me
But You've been there to wipe away every tear
Please use me through every trial
Because now, God, I promise; I'm staying right here
With the One who writes my destiny
With the One who has all of me
With the One I'm falling for desperately
With the One who's madly in love with me

Repeat CHORUS

"Moving On"

Moving On

By: R. A. Cvetich

God, why is this happening to me?
How could You watch my life fall apart?
And if You didn’t want me to be unhappy
Then why did You put these feelings in my heart?
I cried out to You and begged for Your help
Called out Your name night and day
And when all those I loved disappeared
You turned Your face away

CHORUS
And Lord, I’m on my knees
And my tears are the only offering I have left to give
Begging please, God, please
I don’t have any reasons left to live this life I live
And all I want to do
Is go home to be with You
So please hear my cries
Stay by my side
And hold my hand as I…move on

God, why do You seem so far from me?
It seems like You’re sitting on Your throne
Watching my world crumble to ashes
That I’m left to pick up on my own
I’ve been stumbling around in endless dark
And I can’t find the way
So I reached out my hand to You for help
But You just pulled Your hand away

Repeat CHORUS

Bridge
Please take this burden from me
God, let me be free
Please let this be the last tear
Promise me You’ll stay near
Cuz I’ve got to be strong
As I am moving on…

Repeat CHORUS

"Take Good Care of Him"

Take Good Care Of Him

By: R. A. Cvetich

Congratulations
You did what I can no longer do
You made him happy
You made him happy like I used to
And I know we’ve been friends for a long time
But this is all brand new
So as you become his perfect girl
There’s just one thing I need you to do

CHORUS
Take good care of him
Always hold him tight
Don’t ever make him cry
When he’s down, try to make it all right
Stay right by his side
Love him with all of your heart
Look into those eyes of his
And know how lucky you are
As you take him away from me, please
Take good care of him for me

Congratulations
You now have everything that ever mattered to me
And you succeeded
You’re everything to him that I could never be
You’re sleeping on his shoulder
The same way I was years ago
Though this hurts me more than you’ll ever know
I ask just one thing before you go:

Repeat CHORUS

Bridge
I know you make him happy
But if you ever do see
That you two weren’t meant to be
Then send him back to me

And I’ll take care of him
But until then…

Repeat CHORUS

"Raindrops Falling From a Blue Sky"

Raindrops Falling

From A Blue Sky

By: R. A. Cvetich

I’ve fallen in love…
With someone who will never again feel the same way
I know just what I want to tell him…
But don’t have the words to say
I dream of him…
I dream of him in the arms of another
He gave me my first kiss…
And I will never recover
Because he’s in love too…
With a girl who’ll never love him like I do

CHORUS
It’s like raindrops falling from a blue sky
Teardrops falling from blue eyes
And I’ll never understand
Why what I want most
Feels like it’s so close
But it slips right through my hands
Love’s a bittersweet ride
Like raindrops falling from a blue sky

I’ve seen God work…
As He took all I ever loved away from me
My love is with me all the time…
I’m constantly haunted by his memory
He makes me smile…
As I fake happiness for he and his new girl
I have everything I need…
Because he is all that I could ever want in this world
And he gazes into my eyes…
As he says goodbye

Repeat CHORUS

Bridge
Every silver lining has its cloud
And love’s a secret never told aloud
He and I were destiny
But destiny’s not meant to be
He’ll come back to my side
When raindrops fall from a blue sky

Repeat CHORUS

"World That Counts By Twos"

World That Counts

By Twos

By: R. A. Cvetich

The stars cry for me as I walk down the shore
My heart sinks along with my feet into the sand
Where I walk now with none beside me
Is where I once walked holding your hand
No one spares a passing glance
At the one who walks alone
I am but a wave
Crashing on my own

CHORUS
Two decisions lay before me
I’m forced into complying
Live without you
Or die trying
With nothing to gain
And everything to lose
It is here I walk alone
In a world that counts by twos

Tears are raining down from cold blue eyes
Creating an ocean my façade drowns in
It makes no difference what the future holds
I’ll never kiss the lips of my true love again
I am a wave suffocated
Pinned to the ocean floor
A wave of helpless teardrops
That will never reach the shore

Repeat CHORUS

Bridge
My heart was cast into the waves
And tossed endlessly by fate
A heart with love held undercover
Destined never to beat with another

Repeat CHORUS
