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
