Words and Music by Brian McCaskil

Up to You

I look into your eyes, but away you glance
To the foreign battlefield, where your thoughts dance
I tried to say something, but I was in a trance
I just said that I felt fine
With your beauty, that you just can't help but show
And the way you look through me, and pretend that you don't know
And the way your body moves, and the way your words flow
Into the air with mine

The smoke is killed by your face
And I know you want to get out of place
And start anew
It's up to you

Your soul is golden, and your heart is true
Warm as the sunshine, that surrounds you
The heat is blazing, so what should I do
To hold on to some control
You are strong, and they are weak
Finally realizing, what makes you so unique
Were you thinking of me, when you were kissing his cheek
Did it make you whole?

Before you make that call
Before you tell me it all
Tell me what I already knew
It's up to you

Your feet are cold, but your hands are warm
From the heat of the memories, and the flames that they form
You return to the pastures, where you were born
And when the choir did sing
Now I'm drowning, deep beneath your waves
Seeing your color's, that refuse to fade
I try to convince the melody to stay
On my six rusted strings

The strings your fingers did touch
You never knew it meant so much
Thank God I made it through
But it was up to you
It was up to you
