The sun had kissed my skin and left traces of the day Enraptured in his warmth I let my cares slip away As I let summer in I felt winter melt away Soon As I stepped outside I felt it all begin Nothing's going on and I'm feeling just fine I'm dreaming in my sleep and I'm gonna be alright I hold his body close as I lay inside his arms Tenderness of his touch I'm addicted to his charms Relentless is his heat and the ardency in his eyes And he is drawn to me honeysuckle to my rose Nothing's going on and I'm feeling just fine I'm dreaming in my sleep and I'm gonna be alright Days like these for me are few and far between Everyday life is so crazy This morning I arose, longed to embrace the day I couldn't wait to see his face Nothing's going on and I'm feeling just fine I'm dreaming in my sleep and I'm gonna be alright

Little Wing 03:18
Little wing has taken flight She is lighter than the breeze, she flies Sails above with all her mind Through the wind she soars with ease She flies Through the storm she still carries on The pain and the strife make her strong Though she can't see beyond tomorrow She lets go of the hurt and sorrow There's a fire in her eyes, an objective on her mind She flies Though her innocence is gone In her heart the child lives on and flies Delicate though her wings may be She has the power to stir the seas Little one has a song to sing She is the strength deep inside of me She dreams of tomorrow as she flies away There's a song in her heart and that is where it stays Forget was has past, just let it dissipate And then fly little wing Just fly

The Truth 03:36
The wound has reopened Only this time I let you inside As the ache of rejection takes over I salvage my pride You know this ain't the way it was supposed to be But its nobody's fault I thought I found my salvation in you I meant to find the truth The spell has been broken And the image has faded away And timeless devotion is a beast that can never be tamed You know this ain't the way it was supposed to be But its nobody's fault I thought I found my salvation in you I meant to find the truth Your appetite for destruction Left me broken and twisted inside But I restored my strength, found every shred of pride And the one thing that I realized Is everybody feels this way sometimes

I can see you're here because you want to save me Please don't even try Don't try to tell me that you don't feel sorry for me Please tell me no lies I don't need and I don't want your sympathy I can't take your understanding lording over me You're so very kind You make me feel like You make me feel like Less than nothing I know you're here because you promised me you would be Well I don't want you around You can't be here for me the way I want you to be your very presence breaks me down I can't stand the way you look at me I don't want to make amends I can't bring myself to look into your eyes You make me feel like You make me feel like Can't change old lovers into friends Oh what a way to condescend If I can't have your love I don't want to make amends You make me feel like You make me feel like Less than Nothing
