Fighting- Brianna Goodloe
Verse1
IT STARTED LIKE A FANTASY
PERFECT EVERYONE AGREED
A LOVE I THOUGHT I'D NEVER KNOW
THEN A SLAP ACROSS MY FACE
IN YOUR SLEEP CAME ANOTHER'S NAME
BUT OUR LOVE COULD STILL BE TRUE.
(CHORUS)
I'VE BEEN FIGHTING A GOOD FIGHT
NEVER GIVIN' UP ON OUR LOVE
BUT YOU'RE PUTTIN' UP A GOOD FIGHT
SECOND CHANCES AREN'T YOUR STYLE
BUT I'M DOIN' MY TIME, FOR ANOTHER WOMAN'S CRIME
STILL NO WHITE FLAG FLYIN' HERE TONIGHT,TONIGHT.
Verse2
THE ARGUMENTS GOT WORSE AND WORSE
CRYIN' WAS JUST LIKE MY CURSE
BUT I NEVER WAVERED FROM OUR LOVE
I LOOK BACK WITH SUCH DESPAIR
LOSING YOU WAS MY GREATEST FEAR
BUT YOU'D 'READY SLAMMED THE DOOR
CHORUS
Verse3
NOW THAT TIMES A PASSIN',
MY SONGS A LITTLE CHANGIN'
YOU'VE HAD TIME TO COME BACK TO MY LOVE
I'M DRESSED UP IN MY RED DRESS.
GONNA FIND ME A REAL MAN
HE'S GONNA TREAT ME JUST RIGHT
I KNOW MY NEXT MAN IS A LUCKY ONE.
(REVISED CHORUS)
I FOUGHT A GOOD FIGHT
FINALLY GIVIN' UP ON OUR LOVE
'CAUSE YOU PUT UP A GOOD FIGHT
SECOND CHANCES WEREN'T YOUR STYLE
BUT I'M DOING FINE, IN FACT I GOT A DATE IN FIVE
AND THE ONLY FLAG I'M FLYING IS A LITTLE RED DRESS TONIGHT,TONIGHT.
Wrote this song back months ago and made a few changes to it, but I think I have gotten it just about right.
Love is a funny thing. You can work so hard on it...It can make you, break you and then turn around and you realize that it turned you into something better for the next person. And if you had a hard break up and it takes you a while to get back in the saddle, that's fine, don't let others pressure you into it..nobody knows your heart like you do...if you're not ready you're not ready...love comes when its supposed to and you can't rush it... "Love is Rose but you better not pick it, it only grows when it's on the vine."...I think that applies here. It is something that has to be ready in it's in own time and with the right person...you can't just say, ok, I'm ready to be in love today and try to force love on the next date you have. There has to be chemistry among other things, but your heart also has to have healed from your last heartache. So, I think I have opened a couple cans of worms in this one, but I will tackle them another day, I just wanted to share with you that love is a process and for some relationships it's not a lifelong process but only season... but it doesn't mean it doesn't have an affect on you, so all of you who are happily with someone show a little support (not sympathy) for those who have had their hearts broken and are making their own paths for themselves...maybe jumping into a relationship isn't what God wants for them or what they want for themselves. So respect it.
Have a GOODloe Day

Two Faces
Ok, so here we are in 2011. My biggest 2011 goal is to not let others bring me down. I am doing whatever it takes this year to have more smiles and less tears. I am choosing who to be around by how they make me feel, sure it's tough at times to make a decision about spending time with someone you love, but if in the end it helps you to grow then I think it is necessary.
It's going to be a continual effort throughout the year...and it started already this past week. I have come to the realization that I have "friends" who aren't really friends at all. People who to my face tell me they love me, miss me, want to go to lunch, ya dee ya da... but they have a second face...one that would slight me without batting an eye. So will the real face please stand up? Or is everything a mask to these people? Do they even know who they are inside? (What would be interesting to know is how many of you right now are wondering if I am talking about you...if I found out about the deceit behind your eyes...no names are given, so keep wondering, but lucky for you I am a forgiving person.)
At first I was kind of hurt, I will admit. I let it get to me..a nag in the pit of my stomach that I really don't know who my friends are. But then like a sunrise on the horizon, I had a peace and I knew no matter what others do to me I am still me and can still be a good person to them. Whether they are being friend or fiend, or have one face or two doesn't matter...that doesn't change who I am and will be to them and the world.
This year I am going to work to be more real. I don't want to ever be someone who people can call two faced or say that I wear a mask. I am sure in my past I have done things that made people call me fake, or whatever, but I choose to be different. Each day we have a chance to be a new person. I am going to work to be more loving, accepting, kind hearted, respectful, and REAL and I want the people I love to help me be accountable in those goals.
Matt Damon once said, "It's better to be a fake somebody than a real nobody." Well Mr. Damon..I have to disagree...I will keep my real, nobody life and rock it! We are what we make of it and I plan to be the happiest one faced person this side of the Mississippi!
Have a GOODloe Day!
