Wrapped Up In Love
 2010 Marie Hines
You rode a horse and wore your armor proudly
Let down my hair to make a way for you
To climb into the sky and catch the cloud that I’ve been dreaming on
Pulling petals at my window, I’ll be
Singing my songs to the man on the moon
And counting fireflies that dot the canvas of the starry night.
What more can I say? Oh, oh it’s you who’s made me this way, I’m
Wrapped up like a bow
Wraps up the unknown
Twisted, tangled in our fairytale
Wrapped in your arms
Trapped in your heart
Wrapped up in love
(Oh, oh, oh…)
Slurring sonnets like love drunk poets
Take a sip, pass the glass around
Til we fall out of time, lost in a rhyme
It’s so easy being me when I’m with you
What more can I say? Oh, oh it’s you who’s made me this way, so I’m
C (x2)
We’re more than raw emotion
It’s not a temporary high
We could crash down from
We’re made of our emotion
Building castles in the sky
You and me, how could it be we’re
C (breakdown)
C (x2)
I’m wrapped up
So wrapped up
Twisted, tangled, I’m so
Wrapped up in you

Worth The Fight
 2010, Marie Hines
Wipe the darkest shades away
Happiness your saving grace
Ignorance won't clean the slate
Won’t find your final resting place
Don’t circle 'round the task at hand
Or take a fall when you can stand
Disregard the reprimand
Needing more than secondhand
There's bigger pictures to paint
More horizons to chase
Something better than searching, reaching
Burning, bleeding black and white
Deeper oceans to swim
Unpredictable whims
And you're learning, you're learning
Freedom's worth the fight
Dreams dashed with apathy
Leave the ledge and set them free
Scaling walls in disbelief
Oh, you can't climb when you can't dream
(Chorus)
Tied up & bound in the cords of our conviction
Got my bag of tricks & my pocket full of luck
Watercolor, paint by number, a reminder of another
Telling me to stay in line
But I'm suffocating...
(Chorus)
Pictures to paint (How to laugh)
Horizons to chase (How to cry)
Better than searching (How to live with saying goodbye)
Bleeding, bleeding black and white
Oceans to swim (How to change)
Unpredictable whims (Break away from it all)

It only hurts me
To sit among the frozen memories
To hold on to a line without a lead
Put a poison in the well
It only hurts you
I hold forgotten moments in review
Count aloud the blows I feel you’re due
With a settled score to tell
How many times do I have to sever ties between us
How many times do I have to tell the lies to leave us, leave us, leave us
We can’t go back, we can’t go back
We can’t go back to before
We’ve broken this, we’ve damaged that
We can’t go back anymore
I could walk away
Pretend that there’s a reason I can’t stay
Close my eyes and try to kill the flame
But I need you my babe
How many times do I have to sever ties between us
How many times do I have to tell the liars to leave us, leave us, leave us
We can’t go back, we can’t go back
We can’t go back to before
We’ve broken this, we’ve damaged that
We can’t go back anymore
I’m letting go, waiving my right
To all of the things that were not mine
It’s gonna save us darlin, save us darlin dear
I’m letting go, waiving my right
To all of the things that were not mine
It’s gonna save us darlin, save us darlin dear
We can’t go back, we can’t go back
We’ve broken this, we’ve damaged that
We can’t go back, we can’t go back
We can’t go back to before
We’ve broken this, we’ve damaged that
We can’t go back anymore
(oh, oh, oh)
(oh, oh, oh)

I love the shape of your mouth
I love the taste of your lips
I love the way you pull me into you and I melt
When you’re holding my hips
I love the scar on your chest
And all your perfect tattoos
You’re a kind of drug, the kind that I need,
The only kind I could choose
Oh we can’t get any better than this
You’ve stolen me with your perfect kiss,
And I know, I know, I know, you’re who I’ve waited for
I love the sound of your laugh
When you throw back your head
I love the way you always reach for my hand
When I get out of bed
I love the way that you tease
Call me ball and chain
But you would sink to the depths of the seas
Still breathing my name
Oh we can’t get any better than this
You’ve stolen me with your perfect kiss,
And I know, I know, I know, you’re who I’ve waited for
You’ve captured me, but it’s no surprise
I saw it coming in your eyes
And I do, I do, I do, I belong to you
Belong to you
(Oh, Oh, Oh)
(Oh, Oh, Oh)
Let’s build a home
Let’s build a home
Cause you are home
You are home
Oh we can’t get any better than this
You’ve stolen me with your perfect kiss,
And I know, I know, I know, you’re who I’ve waited for
You take my hand and you take a knee
And I can see what you’re asking me,
And I do, I do, I do, I belong to you
Oh we can’t get any better than this
You’ve stolen me with your perfect kiss,
And I know, I know, I know, you’re who I’ve waited for
You took my hand when you took a knee,
And all along waited patiently
But I do, I do, I do, I belong to you…

I’m a simple Southern Belle with a sweet tea drawl
Small town, big souled yall
I raise my toast with a glass half full
I’m right with wrong and wrong with right
Ooo, I’m shades of gray in black and white
I’m scared to death of comfortable
I’m the right girl, good girl, smart girl, Daddy’s girl
I try to be the type of girl expected of me
Honesty could get the best of me
When you begin to see
That nothing’s perfect
When you start to read my paper heart
No matter what the cost
I’ll know it’s worth it
Cause I’m an open book (open, open)
I’m a liar in my circumstance
And I’ve learned to twist the truth by hand
I’ve gotten good at getting my way
I’m a certain sunny disposition
Cloudy in my indecision
A flightly pawn, caught in the game
I’m the bad girl, mean girl, wrong girl, that girl
In between who I was and who I will be
Honesty could get the best of me
When you begin to see
That nothing’s perfect
When you start to read my paper heart
No matter what the cost
I’ll know it’s worth it
Complicated and addicted to the flaws I’ve always hidden
Cause they’re easier to blame
Somewhat jaded and afflicted by the good in my intentions
As I look the other way
Finally without the boundaries
If you could only see
My heart it open
Take the last full color photograph
Go on, take all I have
My heart is open
Oh, honesty could get the best of me
But I will happily
Say I’m not perfect
Every part within my paper heart
Became the battlescars
That made it worth it

Over You
 2010 Marie Hines
Promises collecting dust
I guess they got the best of us
Spinnin tires on a dead end road
Couldn’t find the ground below
Try to wave the smoke away
Choke on words we couldn’t say
Watch our love go up in flames
Embers in the morning rain
I’m removing you
I’m returning you
But I’ll remember you
Oh and I’ll get over you
I’ll get over you (I swear it, I swear it)
I’ll get over you (Ooo, ooo)
I’ll get over you (I tell myself that)
I’ll get over you
You, over you…
Ticking time won’t wait for me
Impatient hands while seconds flee
I press your rose in pages past
Brittle leaves aren’t meant to last
Promises collecting dust

Got a pep in my step and I’m tripping my way into
Happy ever after
I’m kickin up heels,
Trying a brand new dance
I’m a sunny soul, watch the day unfold, as I
Decorate with laughter
So I’m letting go,
I’m taking my fighting chance
I’m taking my fighting chance
It’s a brand new day
I won’t falter, hesitate
It’s the great escape
I thought I’d never find
When it fades away
I won’t get caught in yesterday
But get carried away
Cause it’s a new day
There’s a tune on my tongue and a song to be sung
It’s my own little creation
Got a pit-pit-patter and my
Heart’s skipping faster with time
So I’m tappin toes, all aglow
With little reservation
I’m finding myself
Coloring outside the lines
I’m coloring out of line
It’s a brand new day
I won’t falter, hesitate
It’s the great escape
I thought I’d never find
When it fades away
I won’t get caught in yesterday
But get carried away

You hold me while I sleep
Fight the monsters in my dreams
I’d do the same for you
If you, if you would let me through
We struggled in the dark
While you, you tried to mend your heart
Worn, you handed it to me
And found the mending that you need
You make me better
Stronger than I thought I could be
You make me better
When you’re mending me
You in bitter apathy
And me, with crimson ivory
Who thought that we could heal
The wounds others made us feel
You make me better
Stronger than I thought I could be
You make me better
When you’re mending me
(bridge)
You hold me while I sleep

I’d wear my heart on my sleeve to reach you
You guard your love with iron
You’re hiding behind your silence
I’m reading between your lines
I’m a beautiful mess beside you
I’ll try to pretend you’re blind
I’m biting my tongue, it’s eager
I’m fighting to buy my time
I’m lovestung, So lovestung
Waltzing around with my fragile glass heart in my hands
I’m lovestung, So lovestung
I masquerade but I’m learning that I can’t pretend
I’m lovestung
You step on my toes, we’re clumsy
We can’t seem to sway in time
Cause I’m red when you’re blue
And you’re difficult too
But I’d argue with you anyday
I’m lovestung, So lovestung
Waltzing around with my fragile glass heart in my hands
I’m lovestung, So lovestung
I masquerade but I’m learning that I can’t pretend
I’m lovestung
Lovestung… Lovestung
The slipper will break, midnight will chime
And the star that we wish on will fade over time
Cause growing pains ache, & tempers collide
But love like wine will grow sweeter with time
Cause we’re lovestung
So lovestung
We’re scared to death but we’re learning the thrill of the fall
I’m lovestung, So lovestung
Waltzing around with my fragile glass heart in my hands
I’m lovestung, So lovestung
I masquerade but I’m learning that I can’t pretend

Funny how the little things
Can stake a claim in memory
And cheat time to last a hundred years
I swore that I’d be strong enough
To drop my heart and pick it up
And make the great escape without a tear
So nieve
And I hold my breath a little too long
And you were quick to carry on
And I’m learning in the afterglow
It’s a long way
A long way to letting go
Waiting on eventually
Where you’ll become my history
And I’ll begin to rebuild the wall
I’ll forget to mention you
And wish that you were lonely too
And never ache, missing your call
I’m so neive
And I hold my breath a little too long
And you were quick to carry on
And I’m learning in the afterglow
It’s a long way
A long way to letting go
Was looking easier ideally
And I falter at my hesitation’s end
Close my eyes as I begin the countdown,
Reach for breath, I’m counting down
But I hesitate at ten.
And I hold my breath a little too long
And you were quick to carry on
And I’m learning in the afterglow
It’s a long way

You offered your heart with hope in your eyes
You held out your hand for me to try
You were so sure I completed you
I thought if I tried I’d feel that way too
So I wrote you a song, threw some words on a page
Signed our names, dated the memories
Placed my love in a scrapbook of you
Sealed with a kiss and an I-owe-you
How do you fall out of love?
How do you tell someone they don’t do it for you anymore?
How do you break the heart of the one you loved?
Is it harder for me? Is it harder for you?
How do you fall out of love?
You begged me to jump, I decided to leap
Hoping my heart would follow my feet
But here in your arms I still feel incomplete
That’s not how love’s supposed to be
How do you fall out of love?
How do you tell someone they don’t do it for you anymore?
How do you break the heart of the one you loved?
Is it harder for me? Is it harder for you?
How do you fall out of love?
I’m still pretending that everything’s fine
But you know me better, you see in my eyes
That nothing’s not nothing, we’re on borrowed time
Before you can break, I’m starting to cry
We danced in your kitchen, we kissed under stars
We laughed in the sun as I fell in your arms
You knew every freckle and loved every scar
I never intended to break you apart
It’s not how I dreamed it would be
And you’re not who I dreamed you would be
And I’m so so so so so so sorry…
How do you fall out of love?
How do you tell someone they don’t do it for you anymore?
How do you break the heart of the one you loved?
Is it harder for me? Is it harder for you?

Walk away, walk away
It’s a shut down
We can try, we can try
Try to work it out
But you will say what you’re gonna say, say
Oh you better believe it
Ooo, I won’t stay, stay around for you to take
Take me down, down, down
Cause it’s a heart crash, a heart crash, a heart crash
We could pretend that it’s not the
Heart crash, a heart crash, a heart crash
Take your aim, take a shot
Feel the kick back
I was quick, missed your mark
In the heart attack
We won’t always see the snake in the grass
Coming back for us, for us, for us
But the lessons learned from the bridges burned
Stay with me
A heart crash, a heart crash, a heart crash
We could pretend that it’s not the
Heart crash, a heart crash, a heart crash
Heart crash, a heart crash, a heart crash
Take down, a break down, a back lash
Heart crash, a heart crash, a heart crash
Sometimes we only believe what we can think we see
From where we’re standing on our own two feet
Oh we only see what we know, we know
What good would it do just to send your heart in overdrive
You make a stand and find you’re standing on the other side
What good would it do just to think that you’d finally arrived
Heart crash, a heart crash, a heart crash
We could pretend that it’s not the
Heart crash, a heart crash, a heart crash
Heart crash, a heart crash, a heart crash
Take down, a break down, a back lash
Heart crash, a heart crash, a heart crash
Heart crash, a heart crash, a heart crash

You never think your lover’s words could kill you
And you can’t for see the blow that is your last
But you’ve brought me to my knees with a blow that I believe
Has somehow paralyzed my need for fighting back
I can’t pretend that they don’t know your secret
And I can’t pretend that I don’t know it too
I can hear the people talking, I can feel their pity eyes
Dare I say the fault is really mine
Dare I say the fault is mine
I wish I could tell you
I love you still
I gave you the hammer
But I didn’t know that you would strike to kill
You’re quite as I stutter over questions
Whose answers I don’t really want to know
Did you whisper that you loved her,
Drop your kisses on her neck
And with determination, down the wine
There will always be another and another choice to make
Another chance to justify the crime,
Another chance to choose the crime
I wish I could tell you
I love you still
I gave you the hammer

Fireflies
 2010, Marie Hines
Fire on your back, Sky painted black
Guessing the turns fireflies burn
Tiptoe in time
Falling behind
Losing your way
Learning to pray
Brilliant parade
Blind masquerade
Waltzing in place
Weaving through space
Flashes of light
Season the night
Living is like
Chasing fireflies
Twisting the proof
Turning from youth
Laughing at fate
Swinging too late
Loosening lips
Lost battleships
Fighting the lies
Burning inside
A gallery of could-be’s
A library of would-be’s
A destiny of should-be’s
Waiting at your door
The mystery of maybe
A history of save me’s
A risk worth taking
Waiting at your door
Fire on your back, Sky painted black

Better
 2010, Marie Hines
Spin around, spin around with your heart in your hands,
With your heart in your hands
You’re giving all you can
Hear the sound, hear the sound, hear the sound of your plans
Breaking down in your hands
You’re going this freehand
We can’t fight this
It’s our calling
We can’t turn it away
Runaway train flying past the depot
Trying hard to forget all that we know
You say we can try to make this better
Clear the tracks for this fast paced free flow
Take the turns, try to learn as we go
You say we can try to make this better
Cause people change, lives change and it’s out of your hands
Yeah it’s out of your hands
Don’t you try to understand
So make your way, Make a way
Even if it’s unplanned, unplanned,
Cause all alone, yeah, all alone we stand
(PC)
(Chorus)
We can’t go back anyway
We can’t go back anyway
We can’t go back anyway
(breakdown)
(Chorus)
Better, better, better (oh, oh, oh)
We’re gonna make it
We’re gonna make it

Lines tally themselves at my eyes
A gift of time and years of laughter
My age is my virtue
My lips a little crooked when they slide in a smile
Give me kisses to remember
Perfect in my imperfection
Don’t change me, no
Don’t save me,
I’m just fine
And I’m better off without you
Don’t change me, no
Don’t try and save me,
I’m alright
And I’m better off without you
A few too many freckles at the tip of my nose
I’m not the perfect zero
But my curves are my virtue
I’ve got no secrets, I’ll bare my soul
Nothing to hide when a heart is open, oh
I am more than my reflection
We’re all searching for ourselves
Standing before our own eyes
Begging to be noticed
Snowflakes aren’t formed in a mold
Flowers don’t choose their shades
And butterflies don’t paint their wings
Don’t change me, no
Don’t try and save me,
I’m alright
And I’m better off without you
Don’t change me, no
Don’t try and save me,
I’m alright
And I’m better off without you
You told me
I should be younger, I should be thinner
Brighter, lighter, taller, softer, smaller

Tick tock and it’s 4am
I’m alone again, again
Seconds marked by the hour hand
I’m alone again, again… again.
An empty lie for an open wound
I’m alone again, again
Candlelight shows an empty room
I’m alone again, again
Again… Again.
Hold on, hold on to your love
Hold on, hold on to your love… your love
Hold on to your love
Caught your hand as you left my bed,
We’re alone again, again
I searched your eyes, but you turned your head
We’re alone again, again… again
Hold on, hold on to your love
Hold on, hold on to your love… your love
Hold on to your love
With harder hearts and thicker skin,
We’re alone again, again
A discount love from a bargain bin
We’re alone again, again
I look for me when I’m lost in you
I’m alone again, again
Found the day when the night was through
