CHASING MEMORIES… YOUNGER DAYS…
NOW SHE’S OLDER
THE TIME SHE LEFT BEFORE..
WAS A YEAR AGO
NOW SHE’S OLDER
HE BEGS FOR LOVE… BUT SHE’S MADE UP HER MIND

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
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…
I FALL FOR YOU…
I FALL FOR YOU…

I WILL SHOW YOU EVERYTHING

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)
Copyright © 2009

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
Copyright © 2009

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….
