Michelle's Songs

Country version created by SUNO

Cover me in honey

And tell me that I’m sweet

Lay your weight upon me

Our conversation’s deep

I don’t need no paper 

And I don’t want your ring

Just cover me in honey 

And tell me I taste sweet

You don’t have to love me

Or get down on one knee

Just let me know you want me

And satisfy my needs 

I don’t need no paper 

And I don’t want your ring

Just cover me in honey

And tell me I taste sweet

I don’t need your money

Cause I make my own

And when the night has ended

I’ll be headed home

Cause I don’t need no paper 

And I don’t want your ring

Just cover me in honey

And tell me I taste sweet 

Just cover me in honey

And tell me I taste sweet 

Christian version created by SUNO

You ask me to bend

But what if I break

Cause living in sin 

Only leads to heartache

We can’t change the rules

To justify weakness

We know in the end

All that matters is Jesus

So take a breath

Take time to pray

If it’s God’s will

He’ll make a way 

So I’ll gently bend

And you’ll mend the break

Cause taking it slow

Won’ lead to heartache

So take a breath

Take time to pray

If it’s God’s will

He’ll make a way

We can’t change the rules

To justify weakness

We know in the end

All that matters is Jesus

We know in the end

All that matters is Jesus

I gave you my heart

And you broke me

It was moving too fast

But you told me

Everything would be ok

And that it was meant to be

So I played the fool once more

And this is the penalty

I should have known better

Than to move too fast

I tried to slow things down

To avoid the crash

But in the end, there’s nothing new

Under the sun now I’m sure that’s true

All is vanity and grasping for the wind

If you take your eyes off Jesus

You end up empty in the end

Broken promises and broken dreams

Feels like it’s coming apart at the seams

But I’ll work through the pain

And get strong once again

I should have known better

Than to move too fast

I tried to slow things down

To avoid the crash

I gave you my heart

And you broke me

It was moving too fast

But you told me

Everything would be ok

And that it was meant to be

So I gave myself to you

And you went and crushed my dreams.

Why 'd you go and crush my dreams 

Cover produced using SUNO

Say ya wanna hear my songs

But only seem to play your own

Say ya wanna know my day

But only if it ain’t too long

Say you’ll let me take my time 

But only if I hurry up

Say you’ll let me be myself

As long as I’m not too abrupt

Familiar feeling of a moth to the flame

No time to prepare for the coming pain

Red flags, patterns, ruts and lies

Been there done that

time after time

Say you’ll let me kiss your ring

But the taste is bitter sweet 

Say we’re walking hand in hand

Though I’m sinking in the deep

Say you only want my best

Provided that it works for you

Say you'll help me find my way

If I do as you say to do

Familiar feeling of a moth to the flame

No time to prepare for the coming pain

Red flags, patterns, ruts and lies

Been there done that 

time after time

Red flags, patterns, ruts and lies

Red flags, patterns, ruts and lies

Been there done 

Time after time 

after time

Been there done that 

Cover produced using SUNO

I can’t take this feeling

Of being out of control

Life’s less complicated

When I stand on my own

I need to be with you

But the price seems too high

Conflictin’ emotions

Are invadin’ my mind

Don’t do what I should but I crave what we do

Don’t wanna go home, can’t stay with you

Please will you fix this and make it alright

I’m so conflicted, hold me tonight

I draw you in closer

And then push you away

Mixin’ the messages

Though I want you to stay

Body mind and spirit

Are all part of the plan

Let’s keep them in balance

Show me you understand

Don’t do what I should but I crave what we do

Don’t wanna go home, can’t stay with you

Please will you fix this and make it alright

I’m so conflicted, hold me tonight

Ooh – ooh - ooh

My mind is amaze

And you’re the escape

My thoughts are so frayed

I can’t find my way

Please will you fix this and make it alright

I’m so conflicted, hold me tonight

Hold me tonight, hold me tonight 

Cover produced using SUNO

Feel a void in my body

And an ache deep inside

Can’t stop thinking about you

You’re controlling my mind

Thought I was self-sufficient

And I guess that’s still true

But I’m craving the feeling

I’ve discovered with you

Please come find me and hold me near

I’m still learning not to fear

Broken pieces buried in my soul

Mend them gently and make me whole

This was so unexpected

I’m still catching my breath

If it’s only a dream, then

I’m not waking up yet

Not sure where this road’s leading

Or the path we will take

As this journey’s unfolding

I’ll rejoice in each day

Please come find me and hold me near

I’m still learning not to fear

Broken pieces deep in my soul

Mend them gently and make me whole

Please come find me and hold me near

Mend me gently and dry my tears

Please please find me

I need you here 

Cover produced using SUNO

I’m shutting down

To rebuild my wall

It’s served me well

And kept me strong

I let you in

And it felt so real

Guess I forgot

I shouldn’t feel

Don’t want to feel. can’t take the risk. of ending up. in despair like this

Back in my shell 

Where I belong 

I’ll just stay numb

The pain is gone

I’ll live alone

Resigned to my fate

Letting you in

Was my mistake

Is there still time 

To prove me wrong

If so please try

And change this song

Don’t want to feel, can’t take the risk. of ending up. in despair like this

Not going to feel. Don’t let me feel.

The sun rises over the mountains

And I marvel at its beauty once more

I am counting all of my blessings

And awaiting what My Lord has in store

Though the path is rocky and treacherous

And I falter and fall to the ground

I know God is smoothing out the edges

Slowly crumbling all our walls down

No more walls to divide us

No more walls to keep us apart

No more walls to confine us

No more walls … within our hearts

The wind whispers words in the aspens

As images emerge in the cliffs

Our minds shaped by life as it happens

Growing closer despite all the shifts

As we climb ever higher and higher

And challenges confront everywhere

I know God will keep us inspired

If we bring all to Him in our prayers

No more walls to divide us

No more walls to keep us apart

No more walls to confine us

No more walls … within our hearts

We built them up to bring us safety

To protect our wounded souls

But it’s time for them to crumble

So the Lord can make us whole

No more walls to divide us

No more walls to keep us apart

No more walls to confine us

No more walls … within our hearts

Within our hearts, within our hearts

We’ve got our good and valid reasons

For sometimes bein’ on the road

But all this waitin’ on the seasons

Leaves an ache deep in my soul

I’ve been checkin’ your flight status

And waitin’ for you to get home

So we can spend some time together

I need to see you and feel close

I don’t care about your next trip

‘Cause tonight I’m not alone

This glass of wine has got one last sip

Pay the check and take me home

Take me home

Ta-ay-ay-ay-ke me home

Come on now, take me home

I need to go there

It’s been so long

Absence makes the heart grow fonder

And our reunions taste so sweet

Survived those lonely nights without you

Knowin’ you’d come back to me

Now wrap your lovin’ arms around me

Hold me tight and don’t let go

Unaware of my surroundin’s

I’ll find the peace that makes me whole

So I don’t care about your next trip

‘Cause tonight I’m not alone

This glass of wine has got one last sip

Pay the check and take me home

Pay the check and take me home

Just pay the check and take me home 

Cover produced using SUNO

I pull then push then turn things around

Can you survive my merry-go-round

It may be a test it could be my mood

If you can hang on this could be so good

I'm ok alone but need you here

Start reading my mind and all will be clear

I say to come closer but give me my space

I'm backing away are you up for the chase

Please please don't give up on me

I want to let you in

When I falter pick me up 

and we can start again

Let's staaaaaaart again, pleeeeeeease start again

Wanna let you in. Neeeed to let you in. Gonna let you in

.

This deep and aching need I feel

Is so foreign to me it can't be real

I promise to give you all of my heart

If you'll take care not to tear it apart

I'll take good care of your tender heart too

If we keep talking we'll always get through 

The good times the bad times the happy the sad

Held together by our three-cord strand

Please please don't give up on me

I want to let you in

When I falter pick me up 

and we can start again

Please please don't give up on me

I've let you in let's start again 

Let's start again
