Don't Say Forever

(Mia Borders)
M. Borders (ASCAP)
May 17, 2011
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)
M. Borders (ASCAP)
May 17, 2011
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

(Mia Borders)

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)
M. Borders (ASCAP)
May 17, 2011
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

(Mia Borders)
M. Borders (ASCAP)
May 17, 2011
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)
May 17, 2011
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

(Mia Borders)
M. Borders (ASCAP)

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)
M. Borders (ASCAP)
May 17, 2011
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

(Mia Borders)

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
