Don't Say Forever

Let me tell you ‘bout him

Let me sing a song about him

Let me close my eyes; let me try and remember how I felt about him

Let me think of the way that he touched me

Let me think of the way that he loved me

Let me try so hard to forget all the blood, and the sweat, and the tears that he caused me

Make me forget his face

Let me forget this place

Don’t want to think about him and me and of us and our love; how we used to be

I don’t love him anymore

Abuse I can’t ignore

Too much time that I wasted with him trying to make my escape right through that door

Don’t say forever

When you only mean tonight

Pretending to love me

When you know that it’s not right

Gotta keep on going

Gotta keep on hoping

I gotta say a prayer somewhere somebody’s gonna save me; somebody’s gonna love me

Time moves so slowly now

So scared I won’t know how

Gotta let you in but you see that I just can’t risk getting burned again

Tell me you’ll love me true

Won’t do me like they do

Won’t look me dead in the eyes and promise me a thousand lies

Can’t hear those words again

Can’t lose another friend

Can’t die inside myself ‘cause of someone else’s knife again

Still

My sheets still smell like you do

And I’m still the bluest of blue

‘Cause I’m still here waiting for you

To come on back

I still taste you on my tongue

And I still know you’re the only one for me

And I know I still have to believe

That you’ll come on back

Still, still

Still, I love you

Still, I need you

Still, still

Still, forever more

You’re still the only one I need

You’re still the only air I breathe

Your lips still make my knees go weak

So, come on back

Your eyes still make my insides shake

Your hands still guide the moves I make and still

Your goodbye makes my heartbreak

So, come on back, yeah

Can I have your smile?

Can I have your face?

Can I have your touch?

Your sweet embrace?

Can I have your heart?

Can I have your soul?

Can I have your mind?

You take control and walk away

Your sheets still smell like I do

And I’m still the bluest of blue

‘Cause I’m still here waiting for you

To come on back

And I still taste you on my tongue

And I still know you’re the only one for me

And I think that I still believe

That you’ll come on back

Maybe, Baby

Walking down an open road

I see a man ain’t got no clothes

Take off my jacket

Throw him a bone

He throws it back at me

Says, “I don’t need no sympathy”

He keeps walking along

Just singing his song

Doing his own thing

Everyone believes in something pure and true so deep inside their hearts

Can’t nobody take that away

Don’t let nobody tear your dreams apart

I’ve been searching for that special something to make me complete

Maybe I’ll believe in you and maybe, baby, you’ll believe in me

I keep to my pavement path and see a man who’s busting into laughs

Ask him what’s so funny, then I see his burning grass

I take a hit and I pass

I keep on walking along

Just singing my song

Just doing what I do .... doing what I do

I don’t care what people say

I’m just trying to go my way

I’m sick of falling in the mold

Don’t want to do just what I’m told

What's Your Name?

(Mia Borders)

I saw her on the subway

She had her man on her arm

And a smile on her face

She pulled away

Said, “What’s your name?”

And when he answered his phone

She put her hand on my face

Just for a moment

I began to dream

Of how great it would be

If she left here with me

Then I fell down

Back to the ground

Back the world I understand

Back to the boy I call my man

Is it possible

I fell in love with her eyes

Her soul and her mind

With just three words

Spoken and heard

And a hand gently placed

On the side of my face

I saw her on the subway

I fell in love with her eyes

She put her hand on my face

Said, “What’s your name?”

Sustenance

I said this man is my sustenance

He keeps me going strong

Without him by my side

I could not carry on

This man is my sustenance

He keeps me holding on

Without him by my side

I could not carry on

He looks at me with a smile

‘Cross his lips he moves his tongue

Close my eyes; think to myself

My GOD, I’ve found the one

He knows just what I need

To make me scream his name

If he’s not here when I wake

I think I’ll go insane

Slips deeper inside

Presses his soft, sweet lips to mine

I can’t control myself

I slowly lose my mind

I’m hanging on so tight

Don’t ever let me go

He sinks on top of me

I gotta let him know

Scream

(Mia Borders)

When you lay her on the sheets, do you ever think of me?

Do I even cross your mind?

When you bite her lower lip

Boy, I hope you feel like shit

You’re such a fucking waste of time

I see you with her in my head

I see you with her in my dreams

You may think that I’m OK

But inside I want to scream

You'll get what's coming to you

I will make sure of that

You will regret your actions

Baby, that's a fact

You'll wish you'd never done it

You'll pray it's all a dream

You'll start to question was it worth it just to hear her scream

Did I mean anything to you?

‘Cause you ain’t never told the truth

About your woman on the side

Can she love you more than me?

Will she be there endlessly?

That bitch won’t stand the test of time

I see you with her in my head

I see you with her in my dreams

You may think that I’m OK

But inside I want to scream

I can’t give you what you need

So I guess I’d better leave

But, when you put it on her slow, I just want you both to know

You’re killing me

I see you with her in my head

I see you with her in my dreams

You may think that I’m OK

But inside I want to scream

Let Me Know

It’s like a walk at night with my shades on

It’s like a moonrise in the early morn

No, it don’t make sense, but, I carry on

‘Cause I gotta, gotta have you, have you on my arm

It’s like the world stops when you call my name

It’s like a sweet kiss in the summer rain

Yes, it’s everything that I’ve ever dreamed

But, I know nothing’s never ever as it seems

First it’s black, then it’s white

First it’s wrong, then it’s right

First it’s you, then it’s me

First it’s us, then, “We’ll see”

Shades of gray everyday

I don’t know which way to go

You gotta let me know

It’s like the wheel of fortune keeps spinning ‘round

It’s like it can’t decide if I’m up or down

It’s like you wanna keep me just hanging ‘round

Without me ever knowing whether to smile or frown

It’s like you can’t see what you wanna be

When you know just how much you mean to me

But, I’ll stay silent; I won’t speak my peace

Because the only thing that matters is you matter to me

I don’t mind where you drive

Long as you’re by my side

I don’t care; take me there

Baby, you’re my everywhere

I don’t know where you’ll go

What I do know is this

Home is where my baby is

Should I Have Kissed You?

(Mia Borders)

M. Borders (ASCAP)

I saw you walk away

I heard you say goodbye

I saw it in your face

I see it in your eyes

You say you love me so

You’ll never let me go

You want me all the time

You need me every night

Should I have kissed you?

Should I have touched your lips with mine?

I could spend hours on every line of your body

The curve of your face

Just let me kiss you, baby

All over the place

Should I have kissed you?

I hear the words you say

I know you feel the vibe

I see the moves you make

But, I don’t want to cross that line

It’s not a chance I take

Can’t risk making mistakes

But, when you’re laying here with me

Baby, I’m in ecstasy

Tell me what I gotta do

Let me know if I’m getting through

I can’t read the signs you’re giving me

Walk on By

I had a lover

Sweet as pie

Just like no other

Baby, you and I

You said you’re leaving

Well, baby, there’s the door

‘Cause I don’t need you

Bringing me down no more

Don’t waste your time

Saying goodbye

‘Cause I don’t want you

I don’t need you anymore tonight

You’re gonna lose your mind

When you realize

That I’m the best damn lover

So, walk on by

You said you’d love me

Oh, so true

Well, I don’t believe you

And baby, neither do you

You promised me

All the stars in the sky

Forever and a day, love

But it was all a lie

Making Love to a Memory

(Mia Borders)

It was hot day in the middle of November

So rare and that’s why I do remember

You said you were tired of pretending that this was never-ending

And then you walked away

Too bad ‘cause I really could’ve seen us

So fly; not a damn thing in between us

It took a while, but let me tell you something, child

I’ve been doing fine without you, though I’m always thinking about you

You’ll always have a special place inside of my heart

Though you and I are better off, so much better off apart

I love you though it’s impossible for us to be

Forever I’ll be making love to a memory

Love’s a riddle that I never got a grip on

It’s a puzzle and it’s so easy to slip on

I tried my best to give you tender happiness

I made a promise; took a vow, and I’m saying sorry now

I fell down when I should’ve stood tall and

I couldn’t make it when I knew I heard you calling

So insecure when you tried to reassure

Didn’t listen when you told me, when you said that you adored me

I’ve got the gifts you gave

I love the love we made

I kiss you in my dreams

And I damn sure hope you’re missing me

So won’t you take some time

To let me cross your mind

And somewhere down the line

Won’t you call me, call me, call me sometime

The Very Best Part of Me

I can’t believe it’s come to this

I can’t believe who we are

I can’t believe the things I said

I can’t believe I broke your heart

I won’t believe it’s all your fault

I won’t believe you let me down

I won’t believe we never fit

I won’t believe it’s over now

I said I didn’t love you, baby

I told you a lie

I said I didn’t need you, darling

I’m trying to be the good guy

See, if I don’t love you

Then I set you free

And you ain’t gotta worry, baby

No more about me

Walk away

Take your leave

But take your time, love

Walking away from me

‘Cause when you go

You’ve gotta know

You’re taking

The very best part of me

I still believe our love was real

I still hold it close to me

I still think of you at night

When you’re swimming inside my dreams

You’re still the moon to my shining star

You’re still my light in the darkest dark

You’re still the only love I know

I still hope the feeling grows

You’re still the only heart I need

You’re still the only love I seek

You’re still the only one for me

You’re still my everything
