Why Is Life Sometimes This Way Series

Why Is Life Sometimes This Way

Song One

Seasons After Seasons Weather We Stormed

Seasons after seasons all those years we spent together

Weathers that came and weathers that we stormed with each other

Snowfall that blanketed every landscape and every path

Springtime with cherry blossoms in our cul de sac

Summer with endless scorching heat that lasted forever

Fall trees that lined every side street and every street corner

Those gruesome school years at Urbana-Champaign we spent together

Every little things we always did for each other

The way it felt moving in with each other

Like two people who belonged together

Two people who were completely inseparable

And could not keep their hands off of each other

Walking back from school holding each others hand

Kissing each other like new love we had found

Together we laughed that should have meant something deeper

Tears we cried that should not have been our life no matter

In each others arms we always found comfort together

You on my arms was how I wanted it to be forever

Yet it was like something was still missing all through those years

Then came the final storm of our lives

No matter how hard you tried or I tried

Somethings in life you then realize

Were not meant to be no matter what

Now that we have gone our separate ways

I often wonder how you are and where life took you

And where you are these days

I often wonder If you think of me and what you look like

And if I ever cross your mind in any way

And then once again I find myself thinking about

Seasons after seasons and years that we spent together

Weathers that came and weathers that we stormed with each other

Snowfall that blanketed every landscape and every path

Springtime with cherry blossoms in our cul de sac

Summer with endless  heat that lasted forever

Fall trees that lined every side street and every street corner

Song Two

Seven Nights You And I

You and I

One night stand

Seven days Seven weeks

Seven oceans Seven seas

Seven into the night so serene

To smile together to die together

Every walk of life together

World may change always forever

Yet season’s all along meant not to be weathered

And In the end it did not matter

Honeymoon that never happened

Yet life that did

Apologies that never came

Forgive I couldn’t and the inevitable

That was a long time coming

Life’s high life’s low’s

It was for the two us to know

Some things not meant to be ignored

Still would have failed probably for sure

No matter which way we did go

Probably written in the stars and skies

Even before it was you and I

Complete opposites no way alike

Was meant to fail from the very first night

Thirteen years just one big lie

You and I

One night stand

Seven days Seven weeks

Seven oceans Seven seas

Seven into the night so serene

Song Three

It's Like Sands Through The Hourglass



Like written in the stars it was before we came

Like words etched in stone that will never ever fade

It’s like sands through the hourglass and this lonely summer skies

Things you cannot go back to and yet you cannot move on in life

No matter how hard you try

And this loneliness that stays with you as time passes you by




Like a lost lonely soul on this deserted lonely night

Like two lonely footprints in the sand that got washed away with tide

Like the love you lost and all those lonely nights you cried

Like coming home to a lonely house that feels like the cruel world outside

Knowing things are no longer the same trying hard to hide the pain inside

Once filled with hopes and dreams of love together you shared with pride

Season’s come and seasons go without a trace and pain you cannot hide

You don’t notice a thing and your soul that feels lost and bared at this divide

Once again like a lost lonely soul on this on this deserted lonely night

Like two lonely footprints in the sand that just got washed away with tide


 

Like written in the stars it was before we came

Like words etched in stone that will never ever fade

It’s like sands through the hourglass and this lonely summer skies

Things you cannot go back to and yet you cannot move on in life

No matter how hard you try

And this loneliness that stays with you as time passes you by

Song Four - 1

I Could Not Come And You Could Not Let Go

I could not come

And you couldn’t let go

Time passed us by

And sometimes life still feels like it is in a limbo

And we could not bring ourselves

To bridge this gap and our life that it echoes

It still separates the two of us

And you are still no show

And no matter how hard I try

Sometimes I still wonder

Why is it that life turns out this way

Where it felt like

We were always meant to go our separate ways

I still remember the first time we met

I looked at your face

And I was swept

And I knew that I wanted

Just to spend the rest of my life with you

With you by my side

That was my love’s depth

And two weeks later

This promise that we kept

And tied the knot so sacred

And took the vows to spend forever

The rest of our lives together

We were so happy together

This life we had built for ourselves

Where just you and I existed

And nothing else mattered

And as time flew by

And before we knew it was five years

And together we wept

And together we cried

And here we are today

Nothing but complete strangers

In this strange town by the bay

That we once called our love gateway

When once we could not

Think of life without each other

Even for a single day

Song Five

I Could Not Come And You Could Not Let Go - 2

I could not come

And you couldn’t let go

Time passed us by

And sometimes life still feels like it is in a limbo

And we could not bring ourselves

To bridge this gap and our life that it echoes

It still separates the two of us

And you are still no show

And no matter how hard I try

Sometimes I still wonder

Why is it that life turns out this way

Where it felt like

We were always meant to go our separate ways

This bond that we once shared with each other

Never thought that

Anything could break what we had together

But destiny had different plans all together

Never thought that one day

This storm will come into our lives

And we will get swept away

And end up going our separate ways

Always thought that our love was strong

That it would withstand the test of time

And would always survive (and hold strong)

And right the wrong

And yet here we are

With what once used to be our love

So young and so alive

Nothing left now but shattered dreams

And heart that wonders

So many years has passed by

I still sometimes find myself thinking of you

No matter how hard I try

It refuses to go away and just happens

As seasons come and seasons go

And memories of you still creeps up silently

Without my being aware of it

In this life People come and go

Yet some memories however painful they are

Refuses to go

This feeling of loneliness that it brings with it

Of years lost of love lost

When it was not meant to work out from the very start

And this feeling Which simply refuses to go away

Song Six

If Only You Had Stayed

[Chorus]

When I am all alone

I often find myself thinking of you

I close my eyes

And feel your lips on my lips

And a smile crosses my face

When I am all alone

I often find myself thinking of you

When ever I am at this familiar place

And I wonder how it would have been

If that night you had stayed

Whenever I am all alone

I often find myself thinking of you

And how it would have been

If that night you had stayed

That summer that we spent together

Where we couldn’t keep our hands off of each other

Spending every moment together

Having the time of our lives

Before we went our separate ways

I often wonder how would it have been

If you had stayed

When I am all alone

I often find myself thinking of you

I close my eyes

And feel your lips on my lips  

And a smile crosses my face

And I wonder how it would have been

If you had stayed

When I am all alone

I often find myself thinking of you

I close my eyes

And feel your lips on my lips

And a smile crosses my face

Whenever I am all alone

I often find myself thinking of you

And how it would have been

If that night you had stayed

Would you and I have still been completely into each other

Oblivious to the world where no one else mattered

Meaning everything to each other

Like two people who belonged together

Would you and I still have been best friends

That I would have loved sharing my life with

That I still loved coming home to every single day

Would you have been always my confidante

That I liked sharing my deepest secrets with

When l was having a rough day

Would you have been my soulmate like you used to

Where we would have been there for each other

A shoulder to lean on

When this world was being a cold harsh place

Would you and I would have stayed in love with each other

Just like that summer

Where we could not keep our hands off of each other

Hanging on to each others every word

Madly in love forever

No matter what life sent our way

If that night you had stayed

When I am all alone

I often find myself thinking of you

I close my eyes

And feel your lips on my lips

And a smile crosses my face

When I am all alone

I often find myself thinking of you

And how it would have been

If you had stayed

Song Seven

In This World Of Billions

[Stanza 1]

The breeze is gentle

The air smells nice

You and I lying on the grass

Your song softly singing in my heart

And it reminded me of the first time

You kissed me

And I belonged to you

And you were mine

The skies were blue

The clouds so white

Trees all around

And nowhere to hide

The birds are chirping

The flowers are blooming

The sun still comes out

But you are not there

And it once again reminds me of you

And I don’t know why

There’s people everywhere

Yet there’s loneliness in the air

Sometimes something seems to be missing from my life

What it is II do not know for sure

Even after all these years

Sometimes I think of you

And wonder how it would have been

If we had stayed together

Would my eyes still look for you

In every crowded room like it used to

Even after all this time

[Stanza 2]

The branches of the trees

Spread out in front of me

In all of it’s majestic beauty

With beautiful green leaves of springtime

With it’s cool soothing shade

Out every single day without fail

Everytime

Reminding me of your shoulders

I could always lean on when it got colder

That was always there for me

To escape from the harsh glare

Of the world outside

They say

In this world of billions

People come into your life in millions

Some to stay and some as passers by

And they say true love only comes once in a lifetime

Like a beautiful ray of sunshine

Of hope and happiness to grab from life

That only true and true love can define

And once again

Even after all these years

Sometimes I think of you

And wonder how it would have been

If we had stayed together

Would my eyes still look for you

In every crowded room like it used to

Even after all this time

Song Eight

Life's Journey

Another day

New beginning

Sun came up

Stars did shine

Clouds smiled too

Night so poignant

And you were not here

Life’s journey

Another mile

A journey so long

Weathered song

Hurt inside

You try to hide

World full of people

Yet strangers they are all

Faces you see

In inhuman forms

You turn away

Memories linger on

Plenty you try to erase

It’s like it’s written

On your subconscious page

Hard as you may try

You cannot shake it away

You try to put it behind

Like a painful memory

It still stays

You try to move on

Yet like a baggage

It refuses to go away

Once again you wonder

What is it about life

No matter what you are

The way it will still play

What the other person

Does have to say

How deep is the cut

It’s still up to us

This world is not an island

And this life you cannot escape

Song Nine

On This Strange Lonely Night

We went our separate ways

Now we are miles apart

We both did everything we could

To forget each other

Yet even after all these years

On this strange lonely night

I find myself thinking about you

And wonder why is it sometimes

That two people come into each other's life

When it is not meant to last

It is true that you are not with me

It is true that I am not with you

Even miles apart from each other

I once again find myself thinking about you

On this strange lonely night

Once again thought of you crossed my mind

How even in the darkness of our lives

You were the one I used to reach out to

And I was the one you leaned on

Even with the miles between us

Today in the loneliness of the night

I thought I heard you thinking about me

I thought I heard you call my name

There was a time when we had this unspoken connection

And strangely felt this ache

And once again thought to myself

How we once had this unbreakable connection

That we once used to have

Which no distance between us could erase

The sun still comes up

The moon still shines

The birds still chirp

And you are no longer mine

Everything is still the same

And everything is on time

Yet sometimes it still feels

Something is missing from my life

I no longer know who is to blame

Maybe we could have had it all

Maybe we should have stayed

Maybe you should not have run away

We could have had it all

If only you cared

Maybe if life had not happened

And you did not get scared

Somethings in life are meant to be

In my heart it was you and I as a pair

Maybe you should not have despaired

And maybe you should not have run scared

And there is nothing together

We could not have overcomed

If only you had cared

Maybe you should have given us a chance

After all life is not about running scared

This is not a complaint

This is not a dare

Just wondering why is it sometimes

Things are not meant to be

No matter how much you do care

When there is nothing together

We could not have weathered

Maybe we should have been patient

And maybe we would have found out

Whether love could have seen us through

And how much we may have cared

I know that now we have

Gone our separate ways

And things are beyond repair

But I still cannot  help thinking about us

And the life that we once shared

Maybe we should have stayed

And maybe we would have found out

If love would have seen us through

And how much we may have cared

Song Ten

Why Is Life This Way

On days like this I find myself looking outside the window

The skies filled with black clouds

And the rain pouring down

And once again I find myself thinking

Without my wanting to my mind takes a walk down the memory lane

Always so painful that I don’t know whether I should stay

Then you walk through my mind

And I cannot help but wonder how it would have been

If life had played out differently

Would I still want you in my life

And would I want you to hold on to me tight

Would we still have meant something to each other

I still remember the first time we met

I still remember every single thing you said

And once again you wonder

Why do things sometimes end up like this

There is chill in the air outside

How it used to be when we first met

When it used to be just you and I and no one else

And the world outside would cease to exist

And once again I wonder how it would have been

If you and I had not gone our separate way

In this world

Why is it sometimes

Love is about pain

Life about regrets

Family about hurt

Relationships about baggage

Strangers about kindness

And loneliness in this world

As you try to walk away you realize

Why does life sometimes turn out this way

In this world

Where your blood ties

Sometimes remind you it takes all kind

And strangers remind you

Kindness you sometimes find

In strange places

As you try to move on

People you try to leave behind

That life sent your way

Baggage you try to lose

So that you no longer cry

Then you realize

This world is sometimes

Just about people and their expectations 

And things they have to say and do

That reminds you

Who they are in this world and in our lives

Once again trying to make life meaningful

Desperately trying to leave the hurt behind

To make it work

In a world where life has a mind of it’s own

No matter how hard you try it still get’s you

As life’s sometimes unthinkable hurt

As you try to move on in life
