Step A Little Closer

The Dreams that haunted me
were too real, too quickly
The Dreams that held me so near
came and brought new fear

but when I say I'm going in
I'm already two feet under
and when I say I Love you
it's because I really do

I'm nothing when it comes
to those brown eyes of yours
Can you feel its different
Don't want us to get distant
So, please, step a little closer

I can't pretend nothing happened
but I can come pretty close
If you do one thing for me
do something you would never do

Something that shows me
that your truly going in
Don't ask me what or when
the sky's the limit

I'm nothing when it comes
to those brown eyes of yours
Can you feel its different
Don't want us to get distant
So, please, step a little closer

why did you change you mind?
what did you find?
was it guilt? Was it shame?
was it love? Was it claim?

I'm nothing when it comes
to those brown eyes of yours
Can you feel its different
Don't want us to get distant
So, please, step a little closer

Unprepared

Unprepared for the things you said
So afraid Of the things ahead
'cause if I do this and you get scared
I once again get caught unprepared
totally unprepared

you were forgiven long before
because I chose to ignore
what was happening
right in front of me

you say you'll fight for me
I guess I'll just have to wait and see
yeah I'm scared, yeah I'll cry
because I don't like Goodbye

Unprepared for the things you said
So afraid Of the things ahead
'cause if I do this and you get scared
I once again get caught unprepared
totally unprepared

Remember what you promised me
I know it won't be easy
Look me in the eye and say
that you will tell me if you get scared

you know how I felt
it hasn't changed
just playing with the hand I was dealt
don't really like how it's arranged

Unprepared for the things you said
So afraid Of the things ahead
'cause if I do this and you get scared
I once again get caught unprepared
totally unprepared

Unprepared for the things you said
Unprepared and totally scared
Unprepared yet I'm still willing
but only if you promise you are

Unprepared for the things you said
So afraid Of the things ahead
'cause if I do this and you get scared
I once again get caught unprepared
totally unprepared

Watch Me

Watch me as I give up
there's nothing i can do
I can't just sit back and wait
for my broken fate
Just watch
I'll end it all
so that there's not that far of a fall
it's better for you anyways
just pretend It never happened
or pretend it was all a dream
I'm not doing this because I don't Love you
I'm doing it because I do
and because I'm not something you should pursue
Just Watch me as I give up
I've been fighting it all along
or maybe when you sang that song
so let me overview it for you
We're just friends
and thats all we should ever be
but not because I want to
its because you do

Tell, Show, and Make me

Tell me you love me
Tell me you care
Tell me 'cause if you say it, it must be true
You would never lie to me...
right?

Show me you Love me
Show me you care
Show me 'cause if you do it, it must be true
You would never treat me false...
Right?

Make me feel you love me
Make me feel you care
Make me feel it 'cause if you do it, it must be true
You would never lead me on...
Right?

Thorns

Maybe you do care
maybe...*crossout* This will work

I Love you... Did you know?
You make me feel so good

seems like you can't get enough of me
let me tell you it's mutual

'Cause every rose has its thorns
Some more than others

But you can still hold a rose if you hold it right
when I see you next you better hold me tight

Don't be shy, Don't Pretend I'm not there
Because I will be, and I'm still me

tell me what's on your mind
talk about how odd we are all the time

I wanna hear you laugh and
Be there when you cry

Tell me all your problems
tell me all your fears

Come all in with me
and If you dont like it, you can go on out

don't regret it, try it
I promise I'll be good


(c) Bonnie Broderick

Tiptoe...

Don't tiptoe around me
can't you see
that's what's hurting me

Give me all the good or bad
Don't worry about making me mad or sad
cause' I'm a big girl

Don't tiptoe around me
can't you see
that's what's hurting me

I can take it all and more
I hate that you think you can't tell me anything
because you can, it gives me purpose

Don't tiptoe around me
can't you see
that's what's hurting me


(c) Bonnie Broderick

Words

Your words keep echoing in my head
On those papers and what you said

miss you so much when your gone
wanna know the new conclusions you have drawn

do you regret anything you said to me
'cause I don't want words that are empty

I'm sorry If I'm Doubting you
I tend not to believe that anything is true

though I really, really want to
but if you wanna live without me and not pursue

I understand and will live with it
though I think you would regret it

Don't worry about hurting me
you can tell me anything, it's me, it's Bonnie

Twirl me around, don't be scared
though you may not be prepared

I think you can do this
be warned, it wont all be bliss

I Need an Answer

Tell me if you're in
Or would that be a sin?
Please don't keep my on my toes
'cause I keep ending up with zeros

Come all in or don't come at all
because I don't wanna fall
I know this is new
but can you tell me the issue

This doesn't need to be so hard
Let's just have a li'l fun
Just take it as it comes
unless you think you can't handle THIS
then I'll just blow you a kiss

I'll be ok either way
Just dont turn away
cant keep wondering like this
I feel like I just missed

you tell me it's not just dreams
but that's not what it seems
often, I feel like just another girl
Just give me a li'l whirl

This doesn't need to be so hard
Let's just have a li'l fun
Just take it as it comes
unless you think you can't handle THIS
then I'll just blow you a kiss

I know this might feel like a couple of blows
but thats the life of heros
You know I care
and you know you need to beware

what else do you need figured out
before you have no doubt

Laughing

Get away from me, I don't wanna hear it
I really don't care anymore
I was always better on my own
where only I could hurt myself

Don't ask me what's wrong
Don't tell me it'll be ok
cause' I know it won't
and there's nothing wrong, Im just insane

Laughing, At what's not there
Laughing, cause' It's all Insane
Laughing, cause' I've finally given up
Laughing, in the dark
Laughing, Life is just so d@mn funny

Yeah you'll see me
and It'll all seem the same
but its not cause I've gone insane
all laughs and smiles

careful Im dangerous
I might just bite
So get out of my freakin' sight
Im ok, Im fine

Laughing, At what's not there
Laughing, cause' It's all Insane
Laughing, cause' I've finally given up
Laughing, in the dark
Laughing, Life is just so d@mn funny

Keep On

On the edge of everything I know
pushing away my hero
I want him to come closer
But I keep yellin' Danger

growing up, tell it to stop
I wanna be that lil' girl on that hill-top
make it so it's worth it
still don't feel like I'm adequate

running, I'm going nowhere
crying, they can't hear me out-here
screaming, no One will care
hopin', he'll finally be there

Keep on, despair is comin' fast
Keep on, forget about your past
Keep On, they do love you
Keep on, you have someone true
Keep on, just stop thinking,3, 2, 1 go

just let it all go
stop putting on a show
cuz' your growin' up, like it or not
so stop being such a big-shot

Push a lil' harder
Go a lil' farther
sleep away all your wondering tears
try to kill all those haunting fears

running, I'm going nowhere
crying, they can't hear me out-here
screaming, no One will care
hopin', he'll finally be there

Keep on, despair is comin' fast
Keep on, forget about your past
Keep On, they do love you
Keep on, you have someone true
Keep on, just stop thinking,3, 2, 1 go

So Hard

So Hard to be close to you
Harder to turn away
I need to end this wondering
Just tell me where it's going
Will you jump in at the count 3?
Yea, this is my plea

Love it when your near me
You protect me when their mean
Yeah, just seems like I fit
In that one place in you neck

I know this isn't what you do
I promise I'll try not, to do anything your not into
Just tell me if I over step you
Cuz I Won't be an issue

So Hard to be close to you
Harder to turn away
I need to end this wondering
Just tell me where it's going
Will you jump in at the count 3?
Yea, this is my plea

You make me feel so freakin' good
I'd do anything for you that I could
Just seems so easy when your around
You have me to the ground

If you know you will always be on that fence
Then you must know you'd be doing it at my expense
Don't worry about not measuring up
Cuz' you already do

So Hard to be close to you
Harder to turn away
I need to end this wondering
Just tell me where it's going
Will you jump in at the count 3?
Yea, this is my plea
