CHASING MEMORIES… YOUNGER DAYS…
NOW SHE’S OLDER
THE TIME SHE LEFT BEFORE..
WAS A YEAR AGO
NOW SHE’S OLDER

AND SHE’S ALRIGHT….
CLENCHES HER FIST…. STRUGGLES FOR MIGHT IN HER SOUL
SHE’LL BE ALRIGHT
SHE WON’T BE WAITING TILL HE SAYS GOODBYE
SHE’LL FIND A WAY TO GET BY
SHE WAS GREEN BEFORE…
YOUNG AND UNADORNED…
HE WAS OLDER
TOOK A CHANCE FOR LOVE,
WASN’T SHE ENOUGH
HE WAS OLDER
THE TIMES THAT THEY SPENT… WAS IT LOVE OR REGRET…
AND SHE’S ALRIGHT….
SHE WON’T BE AFRAID – TO OPEN THE DOOR ANYMORE
SHE’LL BE ALRIGHT…
SHE WON’T BE WAITING FOR DAWN TO ARRIVE
SHE’LL FIND A WAY TO GET BY…
OLDER AND WISER SHE HAS BECOME…
(SHE’LL GET BY….)
NEVER FEELING THE NEED TO RUN…
(SHE’LL HOLD TIGHT…)
AWAKE AND ALIVE FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME…
OOOOH!! OOOOH!! OOOOH!! OOOOH!!
AND SHE’S ALRIGHT….
YES SHE’S ALRIGHT….
AND SHE’LL HOLD TIGHT….
SHE’S GONNA SURIVE…. SHE’LL FIND A WAY TO GET BY

TAKE IT BACK… TO WHERE IT ALL BEGAN
WHEN YOU WERE FREE…
YOU TURN AWAY… T
HE CLOSER THAT I GET
THE HARDER THAT I FALL…
I FALL FOR YOU…
I AM HERE… FEELING LOST…
IN YOUR MISERY
CAN’T FIGURE OUT… RIGHT OR WRONG…
AND HOW WE USED TO BE
I LOOK AROUND… ALL I FIND…
ARE MEMORIES
WHAT REMAINS… OF THE DAY…
WHEN YOU WERE FREE
I WILL SHOW YOU EVERYTHING
FIND… WHAT YOU NEED
I CAN SHOW YOU EVERYTHING
I HAVE DREAMT… AND I’VE PRAYED…
THAT YOU’D NEVER LEAVE
WILL YOU STAY… AND SIT A WHILE…
AND BE MY COMPANY
I’VE BROKEN DOWN… NOTHING’S LEFT…
BUT MEMORIES
OF THE DAYS… GONE AWAY…
WHEN YOU WERE FREE
I WILL SHOW YOU EVERYTHING
FIND… WHAT YOU NEED
I CAN SHOW YOU EVERYTHING
I FALL FOR YOU…
I FALL FOR YOU…

WHAT’S REAL
Copyright © 2009
THIS FRUITLESS FIGHT…
AND ONE THAT YOU DEFEND
IT’S NEVER WORTH IT IN THE END
THOSE SAD, SAD EYES…
HERE THEY COME AGAIN
I HOPE I NEVER UNDERSTAND
CAN IT BE… SURREAL… THIS PAIN I FEEL
OR IS IT SOMETHING THAT I CAN’T SEE
DOES IT TAKE…. MY TEARS…
TILL YOU FINALLY BELIEVE
WHO I AM AND WHAT IS REAL….
THE YEARS GO BY…
STILL YOU NEVER CHANGE
WHY AM I THE ONE TO BLAME
WE PUSH AND PULL
BUT NEVER MAKE IT RIGHT
TELL ME WHY WE PLAY THIS GAME
CAN IT BE… SURREAL…THIS PAIN I FEEL
(OR) IS IT SOMETHING THAT I CAN’T SEE
WILL IT TAKE…. MY TEARS…
FOR YOU TO BELIEVE
WHO I AM AND WHAT IS REAL….
THE HURT SUBSIDES
BUT NEVER GOES AWAY
DO YOU THINK YOU CAN ESCAPE
CAN IT BE… SURREAL…THIS PAIN I FEEL
(OR) IS IT SOMETHING THAT I CAN’T SEE
DOES IT TAKE…. MY TEARS…
TILL YOU FINALLY BELIEVE
WHO I AM AND WHAT IS REAL….
YOUR GONE
Copyright © 2009
SO YOUNG… AND MISUNDERSTOOD…
I KNOW HOW IT FEELS…. TO BE YOU
I’VE HEARD YOUR CRIES…
I KNOW YOUR PAIN
I’VE BEEN THERE BEFORE..
WE’RE THE SAME
I SAW YOU… CLOSIN’ THE DOOR
HELPLESS NOW… COULD I DO MORE…
BUT YOU’RE GONE…
AND IT’S BEEN SO LONG
WHAT I WOULD GIVE TO SEE YOUR FACE.. AGAIN.
SINCE YOU’VE GONE… I’VE BEEN HOLDIN’ ON
DOES ANYONE DESERVE TO FEEL THIS WAY…
YOU SEE LIFE…
THROUGH YOUR JADED EYES…
DID YOU FALL BEHIND…
DID YOU CHOOSE?
AND THE TIMES YOU RAN…
FROM THE PAIN INSIDE
DID YOUR WORLDS COLLIDE…
DID YOU LOSE?
I SAW YOU… CLOSIN’ THE DOOR
HELPLESS NOW… COULD I DO MORE…
BUT YOU’RE GONE…
AND IT’S BEEN SO LONG
WHAT I WOULD GIVE TO SEE YOUR FACE.. AGAIN.
SINCE YOU’VE GONE…
I’VE BEEN HOLDIN’ ON
DOES ANYONE DESERVE TO FEEL THIS WAY…
NO MORE HOLDING BACK YOUR TEARS
YOU WERE LETTING GO… GIVING FREEDOM TO YOUR FEARS
I SAW YOU… CLOSIN’ THE DOOR
HELPLESS NOW… COULD I DO MORE…
BUT YOU’RE GONE…
AND IT’S BEEN SO LONG
WHAT I WOULD GIVE TO SEE YOUR FACE.. AGAIN.
SINCE YOU’VE GONE…
I’VE BEEN HOLDIN’ ON
DOES ANYONE DESERVE TO FEEL THIS WAY
IN MY LIFE

BREAKING DOWN THE WALL FOR EVERYONE TO SEE
I’M WAKIN’ UP MY REALITY
I NEVER LISTEN TO THE ONE’S WHO DON’T BELIEVE
SAME OLD POINT OF VIEW FROM EVERYONE I MEET
CATCH ME.. I’M FALLING.…
LIKE ASHES FROM THE SKY
I’M CLOUDED BY THE DOUBT,
THAT’S IN MY MIND
PATIENTLY WAITING…
THINGS WILL BE ALRIGHT
I’M PICKIN’ UP THE PIECES IN MY LIFE
WAKIN’ UP TODAY…
I’M SEARCHING FOR MY ZEN
BUT NOW AND THEN I FEEL SUCH LONELINESS
SELF-REFLECTION LEAVES ME GUESSIN’ IN THE END
MEMORIES OF ALL MY EMPTINESS
CATCH ME.. I’M FALLING.…
LIKE ASHES FROM THESKY
I’M CLOUDED BY THE DOUBT THAT’S IN MY MIND
PATIENTLY WAITING…
THINGS WILL BE ALRIGHT
I’M PICKIN’ UP THE PIECES IN MY LIFE
IS IT BE EASIER…. JUST TO RUN AND HIDE
IS IT SOMETHING… ON THE INSIDE
WILL THERE BE A REASON… I’LL LOOK BACK
EVERYDAY…. IN MY LIFE
CATCH ME.. I’M FALLING.…
LIKE ASHES FROM THESKY
I’M CLOUDED BY THE DOUBT
THAT’S IN MY MIND
PATIENT .. I’M WAITING… IT’LL BE ALRIGHT
I’M PICKIN’ UP THE PIECES IN MY LIFE
I’M PICKIN’ UP THE PIECES IN MY LIFE
TOMORROW IS MINE (TODAY)

TIME IT’S LIKE A WIRE
THAT KEEPS GETTN’ HIGHER
I CAN’T LET IT BRING ME DOWN
DOWN… THEY’RE PUSHING ME
BREAKING MY DREAMS
THINKING I’LL TURN AROUND
THEY’RE PUSHING ’ ME ALL THE WAY
WITH THOSE GAMES TO PLAY
(…. Tomorrow Is Mine……)
THE WORDS THAT HOPE TO HEAR
WILL MAKE IT CLEAR
THAT TOMORROW IS MINE… TODAY
YOU… YOU KEEP TELLING ME
I’VE GOT TO SEE
THE NEED TO REARRANGE
CHANGED MY POINT OF VIEW
TO SEE IT THROUGH
THE TIME HAS COME TO CHANGE
THEY’RE PUSHING ’ ME ALL THE WAY
WITH THOSE GAMES TO PLAY
(…. Tomorrow Is Mine……)
THE WORDS THAT HOPE TO HEAR
WILL MAKE IT CLEAR
THAT TOMORROW IS MINE… TODAY
TOMORROW…
TOMORROW…
THEY’RE PUSHING ’ ME ALL THE WAY
WITH THOSE GAMES TO PLAY
(…. Tomorrow Is Mine……)
THE WORDS THAT HOPE TO HEAR
WILL MAKE IT CLEAR
THAT TOMORROW IS MINE… TODAY
LIE TO ME

EVERYDAY… YOU’RE SLIPPIN’ AWAY
CLOSER TO THE DOOR
BUT HERE I STAY… LONGING FOR YOU
LIKE I DID BEFORE
WILL IT END… IS THERE A CHANCE
YOU’LL COME BACK TO ME
PROMISE ME…. ANYTHING…
JUST DON’T LIE TO ME
I HEARD YOUR TALES… AND YOUR GUARANTEES
PROMISES OF CHANGE
YOU PREACH TO ME…
HOW LOVE SET YOU FREE
THEN WALLOW IN THE SHAME
WILL IT END… IS THERE A CHANCE
YOU’LL COME BACK TO ME
PROMISE ME…. ANYTHING…
JUST DON’T LIE TO ME
I WATCH YOU STAND… LOST AND ALONE
WHILE YOU PLAY YOUR GAME
THE WASTED TEARS…
WITH NOTHING TO SHOW
WAS IT ALL IN VEIN
WILL IT END… IS THERE A CHANCE
YOU’LL COME BACK TO ME
PROMISE ME…. ANYTHING…
JUST DON’T LIE TO ME
DON’T LIE TO ME
JUST LIE TO ME
DON’T LIE….
WAITING FOR YOU
Copyright © 2009
RIGHT DOWN TO THE PERFECT STARE…
YOU WERE STANDING THERE
AND HERE I WAS EXIST ING
A SLIVER IN TIME WOULD IT COME TO PASS….
WAS IT A GAS….
OR WAS I ONLY DREAMING
ALL MY LIFE I’VE WAITED FOR YOU
FOR SOMETHING REAL AND SOMETHING NEW
AND WHEN I THINK BEFORE YOU CAME AROUND
IT ALWAYS BRINGS ME BACK TO YOU…
WAITING FOR YOU…
SO MANY YEARS… WITH NOBODY THERE
JUST AN EMPTY SPACE
AN IMAGE OF YOUR PRETTY FACE
AND THERE YOU WERE… ALONE IN A BAR
REMEMBER WHEN I WALKED YOU DOWN
REMEMBER STANDING BY YOUR CAR
ALL MY LIFE I’VE WAITED FOR YOU
FOR SOMETHING REAL AND SOMETHING NEW
AND WHEN I THINK BEFORE YOU CAME AROUND
IT ALWAYS BRINGS ME BACK TO YOU
I’M WAITING FOR YOU…
ALL MY LIFE I’VE WAITED FOR YOU
FOR SOMETHING REAL AND SOMETHING NEW
AND WHEN I THINK BEFORE YOU CAME AROUND
IT ALWAYS BRINGS ME BACK TO….
INVINCIBLE

AND THOUGH IT SEEMS CONFUSING…
I’M JUST BEING ME
JUST LIKE THE SUN THAT CHANGES COLOR
AREN’T WE ALL LIKE ONE ANOTHER
I WANNA BE MYSELF…
I WANNA BE A GREAT DICTATOR
A VILLIAN OR EVEN A SUPERHERO..
WHO SAVES THE DAY
WHY DOES IT SEEM…
I’M SO MUCH DIFFERENT THAN THE REST
DO I APPEAR TO YOU… TO BE A MESS?…
JUST LIKE THE SUN THAT CHANGES COLOR
AREN’T WE ALL LIKE ONE ANOTHER
I WANNA BE MYSELF…
SOMEONE WHO MAKES THE WORLD ELATED
A VILLIAN OR EVEN A SUPERHERO..
WHO SAVES THE DAY
UP AND DOWN… LEFT AND RIGHT – WE’RE NO DIFFERENT YOU AND I
IT’S JUST THE WAY WE SEE THINGS…
IT’S JUST THE WAY WE SEE THINGS
JUST LIKE THE SUN THAT CHANGES COLOR
