'Have you Ever Done That?'

Have you ever found
that special one, the special one you dreamed
of in your dreams at night?

Have you ever
felt that they were there in the room,
only to find out
that you thought wrong?

Have you ever
thought you knew someone
knew them so well.
Only to find out that what
you thought wasn't right?

Have you ever
tried to make them see that
things were going bad,
only to have them walk out on you?

Have you ever loved someone,
loved someone so bad?
You look into their eyes,
and see nothing is there.

You'd do anything
to make them understand.
You tell them what you feel
deep in your soul.
Only to have that one,
tell you that what you are feeling for them
isn't real enough to be true.

Have you ever tried to
speak to someone
only to swallow your
tongue because of foolish pride?

Have you almost done
anything,
just to make them see who
you really are inside?

Have you ever fallen in the raging ocean,
to hide the pain of your broken heart?
Only to have someone
pull you out of that uncertain tide?

Have you ever reached your hand
out to touch someone you love,
only to have them
push your love away?

You would give anything,
You would give up everything
to have them see the love
shining in your eyes.
They don't see the love,
they want nothing at all to do with you
they leave you alone all the time to die.

Have you ever missed someone
so bad, it hurts in your
heart and soul? You cry empty
tears, you sob empty sobs.

Have you ever tried to
show them everything you could give them,
only to have them look at you
and laugh at what you want to give?

Have you ever felt so
lost inside your heart because you
tried to make your words come from the soul,
but they wouldn't come out right?

Have you ever walked along
the river bends, thinking you hear them
calling out your name? You turn around to find them,
only to see they were never there.

Have you ever found the one,
the one you wanted all your life?
Only to have that one,
tell you that they don't care?

You would do anything,
to make them see you.
You would change your life
just to make them love you.
You try to tell them with words
that come straight from your heart,
but they only laugh and tell you to grow up.

Ah, Have you Ever?
