Forget About It

FORGET ABOUT IT - Written by Carroll Bryant 

I can’t forget I met you

I keep forgetting to forget all about you

No matter how hard that I try

You’re something I let get the better of me

And yet I know that I regret it too

Even though I die inside

At least I know that I really won’t die

Don’t forget about me

I’m standing here in clear plain view

Don’t forget about me

I’m standing here and waiting for you

There’s a heart that’s buried deep

With a treasure so true

Don’t forget about me

Until I forget about you

I’m standing on the beach

I see a ship carrying all my dreams

It’s so far out of my reach

I’m so discontent and you resent me

And yet I know that ship is sinking

Even though I cry inside

At least I know that I will someday survive

Don’t forget about me

I’m standing here in clear plain view

Don’t forget about me

I’m standing here and waiting for you

There’s a heart that’s buried deep

With a treasure so true

Don’t forget about me

Until I forget about you

I’m gonna let the world fall down

And crash around

Scatter itself all about my feet

I’m gonna let the waves crash down

And splash around

Until I can make you believe

Believe in me

I can’t forget I met you

I keep forgetting to forget all about you

Even though I die inside

At least I know that I really won’t die

Don’t forget about me

I’m standing here in clear plain view

Don’t forget about me

I’m standing here and waiting for you

There’s a heart that’s buried deep

With a treasure so true

Don’t forget about me

Until I forget about you

Forget about you

Until I forget about you

Forget about it!

In Deep

IN DEEP - Written by Carroll Bryant 

Can’t unlock the door without a key

Can’t swim to shore from in the middle of the sea

Can’t find the heart without a soul filled with love

Can’t walk a mile with another one to go

Can’t paint a smile without the colors to do so

Can’t kill the monster if you are the beast

You got the power

You got the tool

You got it all if you want it

Don’t be your own fool

Another story line goes on without an end

I’m in deep, so deep

And so I toe the line on the verge of a new friend

I’m in deep, so deep

Can’t pay the price without the cost

Can’t play it right when you know that you’ve lost

Can’t gain the pleasure for due to the pain

Can’t stand to choose without selection

Can’t sit down to a standing ovation

Can’t remain numb to all that you feel

You got the reason

You got it made

You got whatever you wanted

Don’t swim in your own shame

Another story line goes on without an end

I’m in deep, so deep

And so I toe the line on the verge of a new friend

I’m in deep, so deep

Can’t measure up to the smallest of size

Can’t have broken wings and expect to fly

Can’t figure out all the when, where’s and why’s

The only thing left to do

Is lay here and think about you

Another story line goes on without an end

I’m in deep, so deep

And so I toe the line on the verge of a new friend

I’m in deep, so deep

I Notice You

I NOTICE YOU - Written by Carroll Bryant

You’re so shy

Are you willing to let this kind of chance go by?

With all of our secrets

There’s hardly any time for everything we leave behind

Why even try?

You are the apple of my eye

I’m so vain

Or at the least that’s what everybody claims

I’m open to new wonders

Thrust into service to touch you once again

When will it end?

What kind of message does it send?

I notice you

Something tells me that you’re noticing me too

Love communication

It’s hard to look away when deep inside there looms

Another chance for us to hide behind the moon

When all we have are seconds and we again become two fools

I notice you

I always notice you

You’re so plain

Are you willing to go through it all again?

Moments keep on slipping

Too much emotion can cloud up all our thoughts

Why dance around it?

Let’s show them what we got

I’m so wild

Deep in the heart of who I am, I’m still a child

Why beg to differ?

Three easy lessons that were taught, we just can’t learn

Souls that yearn

We are the flames that like to burn

I notice you

Something tells me that you’re noticing me too

Love communication

It’s hard to look away when deep inside there looms

Another chance for us to hide behind the moon

When all we have are seconds and we again become two fools

I notice you

I always notice you

I know you’ll read this and shake your pretty head

Trying to figure out what it is I said

You know I’ll take it all the wrong ways so instead

We should talk it out

We should work it out

Tell each other all about it

You’re so shy

Are you willing to let this kind of chance go by?

With all of our secrets

There’s hardly any time for everything we leave behind

Why even try?

You are the apple of my eye

I notice you

Something tells me that you’re noticing me too

Love communication

It’s hard to look away when deep inside there looms

Another chance for us to hide behind the moon

When all we have are seconds and we again become two fools

I notice you

I always notice you

Beautiful Packages

BEAUTIFUL PACKAGES - Written by Carroll Bryant

It wasn’t suppose to be this way

Nothing that I can do

Nothing that I can say

You can’t win for losing

Maybe it’s all the same

Nothing that I can do

Nothing that I can say

Well, she’s pretty in pink with sunset eyes

She can scratch and she can bite

Sit back boy and enjoy the nasty ride

She can run but she sure as hell can’t hide

There’s nothing left inside me anymore

Hell comes in beautiful packages

Evil resides in some of the most innocent looking hearts

Hell comes in beautiful packages

The jaws of life will get you and rip your world apart

All apart

It wasn’t suppose to go down like this

Nothing but a perfect hit

Nothing but a perfect miss

You can’t swim for sinking

Maybe it’s just your bliss

Nothing but a perfect hit

Nothing but a perfect fucking miss

Man, she’s a laughing stock of all the guys

She can scratch and she can bite

Stand up now or forever lose the fight

She can kick the habit from your life

Hell comes in beautiful packages

Evil resides in some of the most innocent looking hearts

Hell comes in beautiful packages

The jaws of life will get you and rip your soul apart

All apart

Take your final journey to the stars or everglades

This is the world that was made especially for you

Make this everything that you can only forsake

This is the time to wake up your sleepy eyes

It wasn’t suppose to be this way

Nothing that I can do

Nothing that I can say

You can’t win for losing

Maybe it’s all the same

Nothing that I can do

Nothing that I can say

There’s nothing left to be said

Hell comes in beautiful packages

Evil resides in some of the most innocent looking hearts

Hell comes in beautiful packages

The jaws of life will get you and rip your mind apart

Hell comes in beautiful packages

So turn around my friend and go back from you did start

Hell comes in pretty packages

All I know is this

That it fucking sucks

Hell comes in beautiful packages

Packages from hell will rip your world apart

Strawberry Blonde

STRAWBERRY BLONDE - Written by Carroll Bryant 

Just one look in your eyes made my day so special 

One touch of your skin was the highlight of my life

Dancing inside you and loving such beauty

Glorified my heart in the heat of the night 

Now you're just a memory 

Why did you have to leave so soon?

Love that would leave me knee deep in my gloom and doom

Just one kiss in the morning made me burst with excitement

Hearing your laughter was really too much 

Sharing the moments that flew by so quickly

It was all just a story to be told by broken love 

Now you're a tear on my pillow 

Why did you have to run away so far? 

(I see the falling of my star)

Strawberry blonde, and now my world is gone 

Nothing is real and I can't feel a thing

Strawberry blonde, how will I get along

Standing in the rain and living with this pain 

Just one sweetest hello when you came back from missing

Took fears from my mind of some other guy 

It's so hard to deal with my dark insecurities 

And it really didn't help when you told me goodbye

(I had to cry) 

You knew I wanted you to stay

Look at me now, and the price that I paid

Strawberry blonde, and now my world is gone 

Nothing is real and I can't feel a thing

Strawberry blonde, how will I get along

Standing in the rain and living with this pain

(It's hard to deal) 

I still remember that sweet surrender

Under the covers and we played until dawn 

I put down my armor only for a moment 

Then came the hammer and it was too late to with-drawl

(Nasty feelings and all)

The way that you held me eased all of my fears and doubts
Until I woke up one morning and my world turned upside down

Just one look in your eyes made my day so special 

Touching your skin was the highlight of my life
The smell of your scent would take me to places
The thought of your hand entwined into mine

Entwined for all time

Strawberry blonde, and now my world is gone 

Nothing is real and I can't feel a thing

Strawberry blonde, how will I get along

Standing in the rain and living with this pain

(I can't deal)

Strawberry blonde and now my world is gone

In Your Arms

IN YOUR ARMS - Written by Carroll Bryant

When I am in your arms I can hardly breathe

Your eyes penetrate to the deepest places inside of me

Gently I touch your face, and breathe you into my soul

My love is there to hold and never to let you go

Too many words have all been said

By too many girls who cut me to death

Too many times I failed to see

I failed to believe in you

And me

When I am in your arms I don’t have to pretend

I will come to no harm, and you will be there for me in the end

Gently you lay me down, and fill me with so much love

It’s hard to get around knowing that we have been through so much

Too many promises have all been told

By too many girls on a heartless road

Too many times and so many lies

I faltered to know you

And I

Too many words have all been said

By too many girls watched me bled

Too many times I failed to believe

I failed to believe in you

And me

When I am in your arms I can hardly breathe

Your eyes penetrate to the deepest places inside of me

You’re inside of me

Every part of me

You’re inside of me

Frozen

FROZEN - Written by Carroll Bryant 

I’m frozen

Moments are stolen

Trapped like a treasure surprise

I’m chosen

To be un-lonely

Frozen by the look in your eyes

I could do cartwheels

From this feeling that I feel

An acrobatic gesture of love

I could do anything

From what this moment brings

I could grow me some wings

Right at this moment and fly

Into the another moment of time

I’m frozen

Heartbeats in motion

Covered by emotional landslides

I’m chosen

To be unbroken

Frozen from the touch of your life

I could do dances

In strange and unusual places

An energetic gesture of fate

I could do everything

From what this heartbeat can bring

I could be the rain of a cloudy day

Right in this heartbeat of mine

Just like a heartbeat of time

I could do anything

From what this moment brings

I could grow me some more wings

Right at this moment and fly

Into the another moment of time

I’m frozen

Flowers by the dozen

You’re something I’m glad I could find

Just one look from you and I became your fool

I’m frozen by the look in your eyes

I’m so unspoken

Touched by your hand in mine

Just one kiss from you and I became your ever loving fool

Yes frozen by the look of love in your eyes 

Long, Long Time Ago

LONG, LONG TIME AGO - Written by Carroll Bryant 

Just when you think that the worst part is over

You’re going under

Everything around you turns into mush

Just when you think that you really can make it

You know you can take it

You see her again and you fall back into love

It doesn’t really matter how hard it hurts

You can’t override all the lost feelings left inside

I know it was a long, long time ago

When you broke my heart and walked away

I know it was a long, long time ago

But if you ask me, it still feels like yesterday

Just when you can find that old happy face

Knowing it was misplaced

Everyone around you starts breathing again

Just when you think that you know can do it

You look for to prove it

Only to succumb to the beginning of the end

It doesn’t really matter if she hates your guts

It’s still who you are and you carry the scars

I know it was a long, long time ago

When you broke my heart and walked away

I know it was a long, long time ago

But if you ask me, it still feels like yesterday

I know it was a long, long time ago

When you slapped my face and walked away

I know it was a long, long time ago

Pardon my love, but it still feels like yesterday

And you claw at the side of the walls you are trapped in

Crying for help and no one is listening

You do everything you can and still you don’t understand

How she got to be so under your skin

Just when you think that the worst part is over

You’re going under

Everything around you turns into mush

A wet painting dripping on the floor

I know it was a long, long time ago

When you broke my heart and walked away

I know it was a long, long time ago

But if you ask me, it still feels like yesterday

I know it was a long, long time ago

When you slapped my face and walked away

I know it was a long, long time ago

Pardon my love, but it still feels like yesterday

No Love At All

NO LOVE AT ALL - Written by Carroll Bryant

Sad day, I’m left in limbo

Cross my heart and hope to die

I’d run away but where would I go?

Mass confusion in the light

Every time I think of you

I feel closer to the pain

Every time I look around

I see your face in the rain

I can’t believe it, that I took the fall

Looking in your eyes

There’s no love at all

I can’t believe it, that you are leaving me

Hear my cries, hear my call

Hear you say that there’s no love at all

Sad day, I’m living in the fire

Just another day I spend inside this hell

I fall apart like some filthy little liar

My illusion in a spell

Every time I go asleep

Pray to God to ease my soul

Every time I wake up

I start to lose all control

I can’t believe it, that I took the fall

Looking in your eyes

There’s no love at all

I can’t believe it, that you are leaving me

Hear my cries, hear my call

Hear you say that there’s no love at all

Every time I think of you

I feel closer to the pain

Every time I look around

I see your face in the rain

I don’t want to ever see it again

I can’t believe it, that I took the fall

Looking in your eyes

There’s no love at all

I can’t believe it, that you are leaving me

Hear my cries, hear my call

Hear you say that there’s no love at all

Sad day, I’m left in limbo

Cross my heart and hope to die

Everybody's Girl

EVERYBODY'S GIRL - Written by Carroll Bryant 

She’s got the toughest skin

He has a hardened heart

She never lets him in

It’s tearing him apart

Their love’s an empty room

Their touches cold as ice

Their time is ending soon

Their eyes are three blind mice

Nobody gives a damn

That’s the way it goes

He just won’t understand

She’s everybody’s girl

He hides just like a child

She kicks him in the face

He acts so infantile

She likes to walk away

Her silent treatment kills

His thoughts get lost sometimes

Her power is distilled

His head has lost its mind

Nobody gives a shit

That’s how the story goes

He won’t subscribe to it

She’s everybody’s girl

Nobody cares at all

It’s just a one act show

Everybody takes a fall

She’s everybody’s girl

Their love’s an after-thought

Their touches hard as steel

Their time is ticking off

Their eyes can’t see what’s real

She’s got the toughest skin

He has a hardened heart

She never lets him in

It’s tearing him apart

Nobody gives a damn

That’s the way it goes

He just won’t understand

She’s everybody’s girl

Nobody gives a shit

That’s how the story goes

He won’t subscribe to it

She’s everybody’s girl

She’s everybody’s girl

She’s everybody’s girl

She’s everybody’s girl

Except his 

I Got Your Man

I GOT YOUR MAN - Written by Carroll Bryant

I got your man and that’s a fact

I got your man and you can’t have him back

You couldn’t get him back if you tried

Thanks to me, he can see through your lies

Your fake charms are no match

Your childish mind is just a snack for zombies

You’re a loser, and you’ll never understand

You’re a loser, and now I got your man

That was the plan all along

Because you don’t deserve a guy like that

I got your man and you can’t get him back

You’ll always lose and never win

You won’t find love because you’re not even looking for it

All you want is a good time and play games

Little childish games

You give yourself out and lie about it too

You gave away an angel because Lucifer has you

You’re his slave

Time will come and you know it well

One day you’ll look back and you can tell

You can tell everyone about your brief moment in the sun

When he said you were the one and then you tried to ruin him

You tried to destroy him

I wouldn’t hear of it

Not on my watch

And to this I want you to understand

You’re nothing but an evil slut

And listen up bitch

I got your man

Love Suicide

LOVE SUICIDE - Written by Carroll Bryant 

I’ve killed all my secrets

I’ve swallowed my pride

I’ve lived in the shadows

Of love suicide

I’ve cared about nothing

And nothing is all I ever got back from you

You’ve done what you came for

You’ve accomplished a lot

You’ve taken everything from me

Everything I got

You’ve never cared for tomorrow

And now yesterday is gone away too

These are not the tears that I cry

They’re just water that’s dropping from the sky

And though sometimes I feel like I just want to die

It’s not enough for me to commit love suicide

I’ve learned to deal with life

I’ve worked oh, so hard

I’ve danced under bridges

With many a broken heart

I’ve worried about everything

And everything has left me far behind

You’ve settled in real easy

You’ve moved on down the line

You’ve taken pictures of my pain

Amid a love suicide

You’ve never gave a second thought

And now thinking is done inside your mind

These are not the tears that I cry

They’re just water that’s dropping from the sky

And though sometimes I feel like I just want to die

It’s not enough for me to commit love suicide

In and out of consciousness, I drift like an oceans lonely tide

In and out of angriness, I settle in for another long hard night

But I know in the morning when the sunshine reigns again

I will have washed away your memory and then

I’ll wash it away again

I’ve killed all my secrets

I’ve swallowed my pride

I’ve lived in the shadows

Of love suicide

I’ve cared about nothing

And nothing is all I ever got back from you

These are not the tears that I cry

They’re just water that’s dropping from the sky

And though sometimes I feel like I just want to die

It’s not enough for me to commit love suicide

And though sometimes I still think about you

In the darkest of nights

You’re not enough for me to commit love suicide

Love suicide? …  Not tonight!

Friend To Foe

FRIEND TO FOE - Written by Carroll Bryant 

In the heart of the sunshine

The strong light blinds my eyes

A clear sky and clear mind

Another day ends

And into the dark night

We no longer need to fight

A troubled soul ignites

Becoming a new friend

I will turn my head

I will look behind

Walking all the while

Forward to the finish line

My hand is always there for you to take

Love is always where it’s easy to make

And while nothing comes for free

You and I will and should clearly be

Standing in front of the yelling tree

In the weeks we erased

The words we did embrace

Wiped the smiles off our face

Two isolated sins

And into the unknown

Where nothing is ever grown

Feelings that have flown

Brings nothing back again

I will take my turn

There’s so much more to learn

Living all the while

For something else to burn

My hope is always there for you to know

Love is always where it’s easy to show

You’re never coming back to me

Now it’s easy to believe

Standing in front of the yelling tree

In the heart of the sunshine

The strong light blinds my eyes

A clear sky and clear mind

Another day ends

And into the dark night

We no longer need to fight

A troubled soul ignites

Becoming a new friend

I will turn my head

I will look behind

Walking all the while

Forward to the finish line

My hand is always there for you to take

Love is always where it’s easy to make

And while nothing comes for free

You and I will and should clearly be

Standing in front of the yelling tree

Standing in front of the yelling tree

Knee Deep

KNEE DEEP - Written by Carroll Bryant 

In life we’re teaching

Never learning

Always reaching out for love

Times keep changing

Minutes passing

Always waiting for what we want

Little by little you meet in the middle

One of these days you’re gonna have to settle

Knee deep and sinking fast

No way that love could ever last

She’s a part of your future and she’s a part of your past

No way that love could ever last

The body’s aching

Always yearning

Never getting what it lusts

Hearts keep breaking

Hopes forsaken

Dreams are stolen from lack of trust

Step by step you’re careful to dare

One these days she’s gonna be everywhere

Knee deep and sinking fast

No way that love could ever last

She’s a part of your future and she’s a part of your past

No way that love could ever last

It stinks and that’s a fact

No way that love could ever last

It’s a moment away from kicking your ass

No way that love could ever last

In life we’re teaching

Never learning

Always reaching out for love

Times keep changing

Minutes passing

Always waiting for what we want

Little by little you meet in the middle

One of these days you’re gonna have to settle

Knee deep and sinking fast

No way that love could ever last

She’s a part of your future and she’s a part of your past

No way that love could ever last

It stinks and that’s a fact

No way that love could ever last

It’s a moment away from kicking your ass

No way that love could ever last
