Hear Me Out

We're walking hand in hand but you're just pulling me along.
So I watch the world fly by cuz you're in a world all your own.
You say we're in this together but you think you're in this by yourself.
Cuz I'll offer my suggestion but your mind's set on something else.

Won't you hear me out.
Let me say my peace.
You need to look around
Or you might just miss me leave.

We still go out for dinner just like we always do.
But you leave me for the bar and I sit alone at a table for 2.
You never say "I love you" unless there's something you want.
No matter how much I give, I guess I'm just not giving enough.

CHORUS

And I'm so tired of running after you.
I've put in my time.
Now it's up to you.
Now it's up to you.

CHORUS

No Apologies

Look at the mess you've made.
See what you've done.
You're losing everything
Cuz you had to have your fun.
You thought I wouldn't catch you.
You didn't think I was so smart.
Well you can reconsider it all when we're apart.
Was she beautiful?
Was it love at first sight?
Did you feel something special
Or did the moment just seem right?

Whatcha gonna say?
Whatcha gonna do?
I really have to talk to you boy.
Be straight when you're talking to me.
I don't want your apologies.

I never hurt you.
I never let you down.
So what was it exactly
That made you sneak around?
It's a done deal
Now you'll have to pay the price.
I really hope she was worth it
Cuz look what you've sacrificed.

CHORUS

I hoped you'd be different.
I thought we would last.
Where do I go from here,
Once I've put you in the past?

CHORUS

Cover Girl

I wrote this song while I was in college. I was trying to "find myself" as far as style goes. I wore all types of clothing (hippie, punk, skater, etc) and colored my hair every shade of the rainbow, in search of a look that fit me. I realized that it was ok to have an evolving style and to like a multitude of things. I didn't look like someone out of a magazine, but I was happy with who I was and I knew what I liked. God looks at our heart. Our appearance should reflect the person He's created us to be, not what the media tells us we should look like. Embrace your individuality and be comfortable in who God created you to be. You are beautiful!

I don't like being stared at, but I hate to be ignored.
I feel I'm always waiting, but I never know what for.
I guess you could say that I'm confused.
I'm just too easily amused.
I guess you could call me unusual.

But you don't know the way I think.
You don't know what makes me smile.
You don't know the way I cry and you don't know why.
You don't like the clothes I wear.
Well, that's just me and I don't care.
Diversity shapes this world.
So what if I'm no "Cover Girl"?

You say I need to grow up and stop acting like a child.
But I just want to have fun and make my life worth while
I guess you could say that I'm confused.
I'm just too easily amused.
I guess you could call me unusual.

CHORUS

What if my words don't rhyme?
What if I sing out of time?
I just want to be me.

I guess you could say that I'm confused.
I'm just too easily amused.
I guess you could call me unusual.

CHORUS

I Love You

One of the first songs I wrote for my husband, Steve. <3

The stars are out tonight.
I'm feeling like a child.
My heart is full yet light I hope this feeling last for awhile.
Cuz all I know is that I love you.

Let's paint a picture with our love.
Decorate it with dreams and hang it in the sky above.
A picture of you and me.
We'll frame it up with stars.
Then the world can see this love of ours.
Then they'll know know that I love you.

Oh, I wanna tell the world I love you.
All my life I've been waiting for someone like you.
Praying for someone like you.
Oh I wanna tell you I love you.

The stars are out tonight.
I look up and smile.
My heart is bursting inside.
Please stay with me a while.
Cuz all I know is that I love you.

When I'm With You

Every second of the day feels like a waste
If I'm not with you.
And the minutes last for hours and the hours last for days.
Tell me what can I do?
Cuz you're on my mind, and it's no surprise.

When I'm with you I'm floating on cloud 9.
When I'm with you the world seems to beat in time.
You're the song my hearts dancing to.

I'm tugging at my hair deciding what to wear
Cuz I'm getting ready for you.
I'm tapping my feet. It's getting hard to breathe,
Cuz I know I'll see you soon.
You've been on my mind and it's no surprise.

CHORUS

Cuz you're on my mind and it's no surprise.

CHORUS

Don't You Know

A song for my Savior.

Oh, don't you know that you're my world?
And oh, don't you know that you're my everything?
So don't give up on me and don't turn away.
Cuz I can't afford to live this way.

Oh don't you know that you're my life?
And oh, don't you know that you're the air I breathe?
And I know that I've been so cold.
I'm on my knees.
Forgive me please.

Oh, don't you know that I need you so much?
And oh, don't you know that you're the best part of me?
So don't turn away and don't give up on me.
Cuz you're the only one who can save me.
You can save me.

Oh, don't you know?

Let Go

This is a song about being in a relationship that causes you to become someone other than yourself. It's hard, when our emotions get involved, to make wise decisions. Remember that you are one of a kind. You should never change who you are for the sake of winning someone over. If there are areas in your life that need changing, trust that God will reveal those things to you as you draw closer to Him. Don't try to force relationships that are anything less than what God has for you. Be encouraged and ask God for the wisdom to know when it's time to let go.

I never felt the need to impress anyone.
I never thought being myself was wrong.
But ever since I started falling for you,
I don't know who I am or what I've become.
And forever just doesn't sound sure enough.
Especially when you act the way you do.
So I'm doing all I can to make you fall in love
And if I lose my pride, at least I have you.

It's hard to breathe when you're wearing someone else's skin.
It's hard to see when everything is going dim.
And it's hard to know when to let go.

The days fade to night all too quickly.
And I'm always picking myself up off the floor.
My will has lost its strength to carry me.
And I don't know if I can go on anymore.

CHORUS

I'm slipping away.
Slowly, but surely.
I'm sick of this game.
Please listen to me.
You're going to lose me.
You're going to lose me.

CHORUS

Heartbreak

You called me up just the other day.
You wanna know if I can come out and play.
Well that sun sure is shining all right.
But I don't think that I should go outside.
Cuz you're just a heartbreak waiting to happen.

Don't say you fell for me the moment we met.
Make me blush and say I'm cute when I'm red.
There you go acting like a prince.
Don't you know it's hard enough as it is?
Cuz you're just a heartbreak waiting to happen.

I know you're kind.
You'll win my heart then you'll change your mind.
Played this once or twice.
Dealt with pain than paid the price.
Not this time.

I see you and what a surprise.
You start spewing your worn-out lines.
I know I've heard those word before
With a painted smile and an open door.
You said your heart is burning and I made it happen.
You're just a heartbreak waiting to happen.

I Don't Want To

© 2004 Ashley Farrell

I don't want to cry tonight.
Cuz I'm so tired of living these lies.
And our dreams, they haunt me when I sleep.

Who told me that love was supposed to be
Something worth living for?
Cuz all that love has ever done for me
Is drag my heart through war.

I don't want to give in today.
To this world.
To the expression on your face.
I don't want to.
I don't want to give in.

CHORUS

And I don't know what we're fighting for.
But I don't think I can take it anymore.

I don't want to let you in.
Not today or ever again.

CHORUS

Lose You

May 10, 2011

© 2004 Ashley Farrell

Sitting in my room alone again.
The clock is ticking, it's 12 past 10.
I feel I've lost my best friend.
Will someone please tell me when did I lose you?

Conversation's running dry.
I could say I love you just once more.
One more time.
But you say I love you's just a worn-out line.
Will someone please tell me why did I lose you?

We rushed into things too soon.
We shed our cocoons before we grew our wings.

I guess I pushed you away.
I told you things I should have waited to say.
I would have done things a different way.
If I knew there'd be a day.
A day I'd lose you.
