Verse

Hate you the more I think of you

I want you the more that I think of you

You think this is the way to control me

I’ll fight and hurt inside

before I give into you

I lay up all night 

telling myself

I can do this

I can fly by this pain

I won’t crawl or beg

to make you understand

Chorus

I’m laying up all night again

I know I’m right

you’ve been wrong again

you can’t keep treating me this way

I won’t give you my love the right way

Verse

I know I’ve been lovable

you can’t see this

you want to control me

I can’t deal with this

 why can’t you just 

love me the way I am

Chorus

Verse

You want me to be the way that you want

I’ve never been able to do this

I only know how to be myself

How can I marry and be your queen

when you won’t let your princess beam

to lightest and darkest moments with you

I just want to touch you…..

oooo…. oooo… ooooo…..

repeat

Ok One More "I Could Part the Seas" #chances #lorijeanfinnila #singersongwriter

I Could Part the Seas

Verse

Why can’t someone understand me

all I’m trying to do is the right thing

I’m solemn in my thoughts

I’m clean in my movements

If you gave me the chance

I could part the seas

that you could walk right through

I’m so strong 

when you’re beside me

but then you leave

I don’t know where I am

How can I be so helpless

and so strong so close to the same time

I’m seeing clear again now that you’re near me

but you get mad when I feel this way

why can’t I be the same things to you

both at the same time

Chorus

Verse

I’m not so bad

as you might think

I adore your face

and how you make me flush

My cheeks and my insides

jump around you

I know you want to have fun too

but you worry 

that’s not all that’s involved with this

why do you have to worry so much

Chorus

If you gave me the chance

I could part the seas

that you could walk right through

AllI need is for you to give me a chance

Boy I'm Writing It Up Today "Lost In a Sea of Darkenss #twonewsongs #lorijeanfinnila #singersongwriter #podcast

 Two more songs for my podcast. Whooo hooo!!

Lost In a Sea of Darkness

Verse

I come out with the way you don’t want to hear it

I’m talking again the way it’s not popular

when will I learn

Chorus

I’m lost in a sea of darkness

I can’t find my way to normalness

where is it that I can’t find to be

Verse

I’m flying I’m floating alone

in a sea of darkness

I can’t find my home

I think I’ll rest in peace alone

Chorus

I’m lost in a sea of darkness

I can’t find my way to normalness

where is it 

that I can’t find to be

Verse

I think I’ve found a new way

I feel I’m opening up again

I feel the connecting

I know I’m on the right path

just to fall again

Perhaps I’m not so wrong

just born in a world not made for myself

where I can walk in a dimension and feel

comfortable on my own

if it were only safe

Chorus

I’m lost in a sea of darkness

I can’t find my way to normalness

where is it that I can’t find to be

lost in a sea of darkness

repeat

oooo oooo 

ooooooooo
