All That You Deserve    by Phay McCombie
                         
Born into this world, as simple as it was
obscure it did seem, but that was all because,
times changed so rapidly, it really hit me hard
i kept my feelings veiled, trapped inside my heart
people receded around me left me feeling alone,
yet i was given all the love in the world, right back at home.

The love before was meaningless, it was hardly shown
yet the love i recieved around me, even i knew had grown.
Departures such a shocking thing, you just learn to accept.
Things dont last forever and thats the way its kept.
I will always treasure their presence, abhorent as i am
although i will always be beholden it didnt end as it began.

Things change for the best, its the way the world goes round.
Everything has a meaning, a taste, a touch a sound.
And those will be remembered cherished not forgot.
As i think about them all the time its really quite a lot.
Wondering questions leave me puzzeled, how would it be now?
The blink of an eyelid its all left behind kept as if it were a vow.

As if im living in two different worlds with all of my questions left open
of which i am quite content, as right now i am copin.
One day i will come to an end aswell, but at least i will go,
knowing that my life had meaning and wasnt just a sham
knowing that i will be loved just the way i am.
No silly little memorys or undefined tales,
just the memory of me and the stain on your heart....
