If you could turn back time
would you?
If you could change the past
what would it change?

Would you avoid your past mistakes
or just make them different ways?
Are your faults a part of you no matter what?

And when blessings come from something bad
was it really something good?
How can we ever really know?

We have to learn from our mistakes,
some things we cannot change,
but we can leave our faults there in the past.

Let Me Sing For You

Another 40's inspired song  :)

I want to sing for you,
in all the ways a woman can.
Would you let me sing for you,
and say that you're my man?

I'll sing with my voice,
if you like the sound.
I'll sing with my heart,
whenever you're around.
Darling please,
won't you let me,
sing for you?

Determined

(I originally wrote this about 10 years ago I think, but it's still relevant and I figured probably worth sharing.)

Don't tell me I'm worthless
Don't tell me to just give up

I will not settle for just mediocre
I will not let you control my life
Don't tell me I can't
I know I will make it
I'll do whatever I can
So I don't end up like you

You can't deny your own unhappiness
You can't see the life that you just missed
Now I'm more determined
I am more aware
And I can see that you don't care

So whether or not you help me out
I am leaving, without a doubt
I won't look back
I won't give up
And I'm gonna make it now
Somehow

I know I'm not worthless
And I will never give up
