Its a simple thing
Losing me would hurt you so deeply
I see it in your ocher eyes
Don't let me be an eye blink
In you endless, sleepless eternity
You know you want me by your side

Please tell me why
Take my hand and stop all this debating
Please change your mind
The hourglass only offers so much waiting

Because I'm just one of those grains you see
Slipping down the neck of the bottle
Soon the top will be empty
And you'll be out of me

Its the hardest thing
There are too many Forks here in my road
Which is the path that I should choose
Inside my heart the answer's
Glinting, hinting, waiting for me to see
The road less traveled leads to you

Please tell me why
Take my hand and stop all this debating
Please change your mind
The hourglass only offers so much waiting

Because I'm just one of those grains you see
Slipping down the neck of the bottle
Soon the top will be empty
And you'll be out of me

Here in our meadow
I see you as you really are
Out of the shadows
You are my shining star

You're picturesque
Then there's me I'm always such a mess
That never makes you love me less
You offer me protection
When all I want is preservation
Please make the time stand still for me

Because I'm just one of those grains you see
Slipping down the neck of the bottle
Soon the top will be empty
And you'll be out of me

Number 3

(Bella's biggest fear - from the text on the back cover of Twilight)


You won't believe how many things
Are wandering through my head
You're next to me its plain to see
That maybe you would like me dead
I see it in your eyes
They're as black as night
Here is the surprise:

One, I know it probably should chill me
Two, I think you probably want to kill me
Three, I know I want to spend my life with you
You'd never hurt me
And of all of these
The only one I fear is number 3

Here I go I'm on a roll
I want to know about you
Holy water, stakes in hearts
Tell me is it even true?

Stay With Me

(A ballad for Edward and Bella through Bella's eyes)

Can't you see my heart is heavy
Just because I know you're leaving
Sometimes I wish you could read my mind
Look at me I'm always lost,
But I am found and I can't believe it
There is just one more thing I have to ask

Stay with me for a while
Stay with me and I'll smile
Never leave and you'll see
Stay with me, will you please?

Drowning in a topaz sea and
Who knew death could be comforting
The blackness of the past is so far away
I see you and then it hits me
It's no wonder you eclipse me
Everything I wanted has come true

And so our paths have crossed
The lion and the lamb
Please tell me you'll never leave me
You're part of who I am

I Don't Know

(Bella's encounter with the vampire, Bree)


As she sits there so consumed
Does she even know the truth
Of what happened here tonight?
Does she remember who she was?
Brothers, sisters, parents?
Does she even have a name?
Will she change my mind?
Do I want to be that way?
Will it pass in time?
Will I want to every day?

Does the future that I want mean
Losing all the present?
I think in this case that it does
Though I picture myself there when
I see her tremble
The picture starts to fade away
Is it worth the price?
Will I make it past the pain?
Leave it all behind
Can I live an endless day?

She stares at me
Peircing my soul
Is it worth losing all I know?
She stares at me
How can I tell
A reflection of my future self
I don't know

Jacob Black
She's not coming back
La Push has come to shove
And she's through with you
Can't you see
You're just a dog to me
If you come near her again
I'll eat you too

First you missed her
Then you kissed her
I'm just watching
You think you're fine
I'm waiting
Contemplating
Don't you screw up
Or you're mine

You're nothing but a dog
Its time for you to face the truth
You're nothing but a dog
And she's still way too good for you
Watch your back cause who knows what I'll do
Jacob Black I've got my eye on you

The other day
I thought I heard you say
May the best man win
But I see through your ploy
You might think
That you are on the brink
Of winning her love
But you are just a boy

You were there to save her life
When I was far away
Differences aside and
I'll say thank you anyway
The bigger man will shake your hand
And pretty soon you'll see
In your mind you're kissing her
In life she's kissing me

Lullaby

(Edward's feelings for Bella)


Being made of stone will make you strong
But I've been alone for oh so long
Then there you were a silent mind
And beauty that I thought I'd never find

Something Strange is happening
And I don't know what to do
I haven't felt my heart beat in over 90 years
I love the way you look at me
When you're thinking no one else can see
I feel like someone different when you're near

So sleep now and hold me tight
Everything will be alright
Just lay down and rest your waery eyes
Calm down, you're safe with me
I love you more than you can see
You need your rest and so I wrote you this
Lullaby

Could someone who has a soul
Have such a hard time staying in control
Eternity can wait a while
I'll miss the way you blush when you smile

By You

(Based on the contents of New Moon)


This hole in my chest has been getting
The best of my life
That day in the woods
Hurt me more than any kind of pain
In this life ever should
What's the cause?
I guess I'll walk around in this
Empty shell of all that I was
Hold myself
Who else will?
Please be still
Get up off the floor and try
Never let them see you cry
You're swimming now but
Swans were maent to fly

And the chill of your touch
Never thought I'd miss the cold so much
Wrapped in stone
I felt at home
If only you knew that this hole
Was created by you.

I can't sleep
Dream of you
There you are
Its not true

I walk to the edge
I look at the see
I never imagined how easy it'd be
You give me no choice
To hear your voice
I feel so free
It's difficult way
To live out each day
I wonder where you are
But now here I come
Don't step in the sun
You're almost in my arms

Thorns

(the way Rosalie has such disdain for Bella, as seen through Bella's eyes)

I can't remember when I've seen someone like you
You're captivating, its true
All eyes on you my dear they're stuck to you like glue
Anticipating each move
Grace beyond beauty
Mysterious, too
No wonder she hates me
It's cruel
 
There's a pain underneath her
That makes her just abit more than forlorn
And her hate is directed at me
Don't you see and so obviously
This Rose has thorns
 
In case you're wondering I'd like to be your friend
Your bitterness never ends
I hope the time comes soon when you can smile at me
I guess that all just depends
Tell me your story
Don't hold any back
Get out your baggage
Its time to unpack
