He Loves Me (2007)

I held a purple daisy
My tears fell down like rain
I marveled at its beauty
I shared with it my pain

I pulled out the last petal
And cried even more
The answer isn't final
Just superstitious lore

I held a purple daisy
And wiped away my tear
I know I must sound crazy
But it took away my fear

Who Can I Trust? (1989)

Who can I trust with my deepest secrets?
Who can I trust when my world falls apart?
When everyone's lying and deceiving
Who can i trust with my heart?

Should I trust no one but myself?
To keep my life I must be circumspect.
Keeping quiet, telling no one but God,
He already knows the effect.

I'll never believe the people again,
The people who have hurt me once before.
The saddest part is I'll never be trusting
Of anyone any more.

How can I be certain that I won't be hurt?
How could someone hide themselves so well?
When everyone's lying and deceiving,
How can anyone tell?
