Coming To Terms

These are lyrics I wish I'd found a long time ago.

Oh no, it’s not me
I just forgot... to tell you
Didn’t mean, it seems obscene
We just lost track.. along the way

I’m coming to terms
I’m starting to learn
This ain’t all it’s cracked up to be
’Cause I’m using you, you’re using me
It’s never as easy as we believe

’Cause this hurts, I can’t leave
I understand... but can you
I’m just scared, you’re lonely
Everyone knows.. you’re better than me

I’m coming to terms
I’m starting to learn
This ain’t all it’s cracked up to be
’Cause I’m using you, you’re using me
It’s never as easy as we believe

Is this what you need?
Am I what you need?

I’m coming to terms
I’m starting to learn
This ain’t all it’s cracked up to be
’Cause I’m using you, you’re using me
It’s never as easy as we believe

Na na na na…

A Strange Cup of Tea

Sometimes I wake with a weary head
and I wonder how I'll ever get through
Then I think of the things you said
how you told me to my self be true

My faith in things unseen,
My belief that it'll all work out
It may seem like a strange cup of tea,
but if its all right with you,
than it all right with me

On my feet I walk, with my legs I run
In my arms I'll hold another day
With my head I think, from my heart I sing
And with my hand to my face I pray

There's times I feel with the stains of life
I could just turn around, turn around 'n walk away
Then a strength like a beam from above
lifts me up by the hand and it leads me to say...

Good things for good people you see
Good things, they seem to all work out
May seem like a strange cup of tea
But if its all right with you
Well then its all right with me

On my feet I walk, with my legs I run
In my arms I'll hold another day
With my head I think, from my heart I sing
And with my hand to my face I pray

Getting by ain't enough for me
I know what I like, I like what I see
I'm not only flesh and blood but
I'm heart and soul I know

Sometimes I feel at the end of the day
Was it all worth while or have I settled for less?
I sit back and your there by my side
Sincerely you say, "We're both so blessed"

Count your blessings, count them one, two, three
Don't give up cause it'll all work out
It may seem like a strange cup of tea
But if it's all right with you, it's just fine with me

On my feet I walk, with my legs I run
In my arms I'll hold another day
With my head I think, from my heart I sing
And with my hand to my face I pray
