I’m
Glad
I met you when I did
I was
About
To flip my lid
I’m
Acting
Like a little kid
I’m
Glad
I met you when I did
I’m
Glad
I met you when I did
Cuz
I was
Keeping my heart hid
No more
Living
Off the grid
I’m
Glad
I met you when I did

When you can’t make it home
When you’re stuck in a rut
When the roads are frozen over
When everything is shut
When hope is mirage
When there’s torment in your gut
When the bridge gates fall
When you’re walking in the trees
When the world opens up
When your heart gets a squeeze
When you’re finally together
When you’re overwhelmed with ease
by Richard W. Bray
.
It’s time to have another drink
Might even take a little toke
Look for some women and some song
Until my sorry ass is broke
Life’s a second hand store
It’s a box of loose ends
I’m gonna feed my bloody heart
Dance like it’s never gonna end
The numbers don’t add up
And the figures don’t compute
This crazy old world
Is just a big crap shoot
Life’s a second hand store
It’s a box of loose ends
I’m gonna feed my bloody heart
Dance like it’s never gonna end

All my girlfriends say
I should forget you double-quick
You’re a cruel lying monster
And an evil little prick
You cracked me open
Like an egg
You poured my guts out
On the floor
You can grovel–you can beg
But I don’t
Love you anymore
I let you use my car
You stupid stinky little cheat
It smelled like cheap perfume
You left her panties on my seat
You cracked me open
Like an egg
You poured my guts out
On the floor
I just need
To stop the bleeding
Cuz you cut me to the core
Kicked my dog and slapped my Pa
You tried to f—k my friends
I gave the cops a statement
Now this nighmare’s gonna end
You cracked me open
Like an egg
You poured my guts out
On the floor
My tear ducts
All run dry
But I ain’t crying anymore

Hamster Heart Doctor
We had some plans to meet
You were seven days late
You said your hamster had angina
And your cat had a date
You found a hamster heart doctor
In a faraway state
That’s the best story
You could fabricate
you don’t have say why
don’t make up
another lie
just say goodbye
just say goodbye
We had some plans to meet
But you just weren’t there
You said you couldn’t find your keys
And you had to wash your hair
You really needed a nap
There was nothing to wear
And three of your cousins
Got eaten by a bear
you don’t have say why
don’t make up
another lie
just say goodbye
just say goodbye
by Richard W. Bray
I didn’t take it too well
When you said we were through
You got a stone for a heart
What’s the matter with you?
You almost killed me
With your smile
So I’ll be bleeding
For a while
You were the happiest thing
In my sad little life
Then you took out my heart
With a rusty old knife
I ain’t got nothing left
But tears
I’m gonna bleed
For forty years
I didn’t take it too well
When you said we were through
You laughed in my face
When I asked if you were true
by Richard W. Bray
my heart went thru the ringer
my heart bruised and bled
my heart was abandoned
my heart was left for dead
Then you woke my heart up
With your laughter and your way
You showed my heart the sunshine
On a cold and rainy day
Love is like a river
The comfort that you bring
Love is like a river
Thawing in the spring
by Richard W. Bray
i need to see you
every day
my insides hurt
when you’re away
i love you like a puppy
i couldn’t love you any more
i just wanna hold you
and curl up on the floor
you melt all my defenses
just by being you
you invigorate my senses
and fill me up with you
i love you like a puppy
i could live inside your gaze
you could make me happy
in a million different ways
by Richard W. Bray
The thousand natural shocks that flesh
is heir to
are there to
remind you
you’re alive
every cut
and every kiss
says you’re real
and you exist
This dappled world we’re living in
this tender box
of bone
and skin
every cut
and every kiss
says you’re real
and you exist
by Richard W. Bray
don’t hump me
and dump me
turn my insides into mush
don’t kiss me
and dismiss me
find somebody else to crush
kiss me long
and kiss me slow
hold my hand
and don’t let go
don’t hump me
and dump me
and cut me down to size
don’t tease me
and squeeze me
like a consolation prize
kiss me long
and kiss me slow
hold my hand
and don’t let go
don’t hump me
and dump me
and break my little heart
don’t hurt me
and desert me
and tear my life apart
kiss me long
and kiss me slow
hold my hand
and don’t let go
