Like A River

White Horse

C A F F x2

C Am
Say you're sorry that face of an angel
F G
Comes out just when you need it to
C Am
As I paced back and forth all this time
F G
Cause I honestly believed in you
Am F
Holding on the days drag on
G
Stupid girl

I should have known, I should have known


(Chorus)
C Am
I'm not a princess, this ain't a fairy tale
F
I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet
G
Lead her up the stairwell
C Am
This ain't Hollywood, this is a small town
F G
I was a dreamer before you went and let me down
Am G
Now it's too late for you
F C
And your white horse, to come around


C Am
Maybe I was naive, got lost in your eyes
F G
And never really had a chance
C Am
My mistake, I didn't know to be in love
F G
You had to fight to have the upper hand
Am F
I had so many dreams about you and me
G
Happy endings, well now I know


(Chorus)
C Am
I'm not a princess, this ain't a fairy tale
F
I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet
G
Lead her up the stairwell
C Am
This ain't Hollywood, this is a small town
F G
I was a dreamer before you went and let me down
Am G
Now it's too late for you
F C
And your white horse, to come around


Am G F
And there you are on your knees
Am G F
Begging for forgiveness, begging for me
C G Am F
Just like I always wanted but I'm so sorry


(NONE) C
Cause I'm not your princess, this ain't a
Am
fairytale
F
I'm gonna find someone someday who might
G
actually treat me well
C Am
This is a big world, that was a small town
F G
There in my rearview mirror disappearing now
Am G F
And its too late for you and your white horse
Am G F
Now its too late for you and your white horse,
C Am
To catch me now
F G C
Oh, Try and catch me now
Am F G
Oh, it's too late
C
To catch me now

Dont Just Say It

I could still envision one day when everything falls into its right place. Like when you’re with the one you truly love and that person loves you in return.

Nevertheless, is there really a happily ever after ending? Why do we always love someone so much, and later, realize that his heart falls for someone else? Is it true that in love we just can’t get what we want? And if we are truly in love, we are willing to give him everything. Everything we have that sometimes we are left with nothing to give. Then we feel so inadequate. Since we are so addicted about giving all that we have to that person we thought we love, we get so crazy finding ways just to get and give whatever he wants. Most often than not, it costs much. It may be our whole life, which includes our integrity – the one that we are protecting for almost a lifetime.

In whatever relationship where love exists, it always is a two-way act. When you want it lasting, you have to give and must be taking something in return. Your partner should understand that. Though, it doesn’t really have to be the same kind of something that he gave but just a simple gesture of thank you is enough. This is because the taking of something in return does not always mean something material. It maybe a simple smile, a wink, or any quick body language that says you appreciate what was just given to you.

Even though we are not really asking something back, but when someone values what you give, there is always a special warm feeling that stays within. This is the one that burns our hearts and make every single thing lasting. It’s not really the fancy bouquets of flowers or the best chocolates, the signature apparels, or mansions and cars, but it’s the simple acts that says you value whatever is given to you. After all, we have been taught what gratitude is.

Make it last. Don’t just say it, act!
