Push
© 2002 cara beckerle

I want you out of my head, I want you out of my heart
You’ve worn out your welcome with me
I’m sick of crying for you, tired of believing your lies
I want to wash out my soul and come clean

But you can’t push someone who’s not there
I end up kicking and clawing thin air
You can’t leave someone who’s inside of you
But it’s all I want to do – losing you

Can’t go on living this way, can’t keep on hiding behind
This familiar, comfortable pain
Keep coming back to this place, although I’m running away
I end up getting your number again

And you can’t push someone who’s not there
I end up kicking and clawing thin air
You can’t leave someone who’s inside of you
But it’s all I want to do – losing you

Time makes it easier
It mends broken hearts
Time keeps on going by
So why’s this still hard?

Losing you…

You can’t push someone who’s not there
I end up kicking and clawing thin air
You can’t leave someone who’s inside of you
But it’s all I want to do – losing you
Glass Half Full
© 2001 cara beckerle

Something, someone, I wait alone
Pretending I’m not helpless to the word love

Dreaming hoping praying for you
Crazy, stupid to think you could see

I’m a glass half full and my skies are blue
They don’t seem to threaten rain
But it’s hard to live in a half empty world
My blue eyes turn to gray anyway

Careless, abandoned my heart beats a song
Afraid, but I’m longing for us to be one

I’m a glass half full and my skies are blue
They don’t seem to threaten rain
But it’s hard to live in a half empty world
My blue eyes turn to gray anyway

Another day goes down the drain
An endless night without your touch
The prediction calls for rain
Take my glass - I lift it up

I’m a glass half full and my skies are blue
They don’t seem to threaten rain
But it’s hard to live in a half empty world
My blue eyes turn to gray anyway
Blizzard
© 2003 cara beckerle

TV’s promising the sun
Summer’s showing love to everyone
Sheryl’s singing out “C’mon, C’mon”
But I feel a cold front coming on

You promised you would keep me warm
Safe from danger safe from harm
Today I saw you by the shore
With your eyes declaring war

Tiny pieces flying towards me
Some I knew were there, some I could not see
No escaping, I feel my soul freeze
In this blizzard that makes my heart bleed
In this blizzard that makes my heart bleed

I never promised I could stay
Knew the fire would fade away one day
Didn’t want to leave you all alone
But all I knew to do was go

Your empty promises and lies
Telling me you’d be all right
Time teaches heartache to forget
You remember more than I regret

Tiny pieces flying towards me
Some I knew were there, some I could not see
No escaping, I feel my soul freeze
In this blizzard that makes my heart bleed
In this blizzard that makes my heart bleed

Wishing won’t take back the pain
You wanted blue skies I brought rain
Babe it hurts me that I hurt you so
I wish you warm instead of cold

TV’s promising the sun
Summer’s showing love to everyone
Matthew’s sweetly saying “Please Don’t Go”
I wish you love instead of cold
You Remain

You are my strength, You are my light
You fill my heart and give me life
The earth may turn and oceans tide
But You Remain - My love, my world and my life

I am nothing without You
Take my hand and lead me through the storm
And it’s all that I can do
Just to love You and hold on

You are my strength, You are my light
You fill my heart and give me life
The earth may turn and oceans tide
But You Remain - My love, my world and my life

Try to face it on my own
Fly too high I always fall
You’re never far, I’m not alone
If I listen when You call

You are my strength, You are my light
You fill my heart and give me life
The earth may turn and oceans tide
But You Remain - My love, my world and my life

I turn away, don’t seek your face
In what I say and do
Every day I hide from grace
And the only thing that’s true

You are my strength, You are my light
You fill my heart and give me life
The earth may turn and oceans tide
But You Remain - My love, my world and my life
Happy
©2003 c. beckerle

When I look in the mirror
I’m not sure I know the person
Looking back at me
It’s hard to be perfect
I try to be better
Be the best that I can be

Tide comes in and washes out
My scribbles in the sand
My castle sinks to the sea
Nothing stays the things that count
Go slipping through my hands
Guess sometimes that’s how it should be

I’m happy even though I’m crying
I don’t really know how I ever got this far
I keep on living even though I’m dying
Keep on loving with my broken heart
Keep loving with my broken heart

Always searching for something
Will I know it when I see it
Will it fade just like a dream
A little weary from wandering
Talking in circles
It’s never easy, cheap or free

The path is steep and hard to climb
I know I go astray
But the journey is mine alone
When I can’t go on, can’t make it through
Even just one day
I hear that voice keep telling me to go

I’m happy even though I’m crying
I don’t really know how I ever got this far
I keep on living even though I’m dying
Keep on loving with my broken heart
Keep loving with my broken heart
