No Sad Song

No sad song, can make this right
No memories, can hold you tonight
All these dreams, are yours to take
For my love, I made no mistakes
Take this pain, it’s yours to bare
Once was hope, has turned to despair
All my life, I have given up
All my life, I have given in

Growing Old

Growing old, but not today
Felt so empty, trapped in memory
Let it go, won’t you let me go
In a state, it’s hardly fair
We’ve grown tired, uninspired
Let it go, won’t you let me go
If what will be will be, then tell me what you need
Time it stands still, for a moment
It stays and then it’s wrong
Love you’re breathing, in this moment
It stays and then it’s gone
Walked away, hung it up to dry
Should we leave this, say it’s hopeless
Let it go, won’t you let me go
One more time, stay tonight
Let’s not forget, all this regret
Let it go, won’t you let me go
It’s not up to me, so won’t you set me free

Up All Night
02:57

She was up all night with thoughts coming through
Her mind wouldn’t stop from thinking of him
How he could be this feel this and want nothing more
She’s the lonely one
So she shut her eyes and hoped to see him
And she wanted him there with her
He was up all night, from running around
Only thinks of himself and what he can gain
How he could be this, feel this, want nothing more
He’s the lonely one
In the light of the dawn, she knew she had changed
She could trust herself, and leave this behind
As she woke up, stood up, turned herself around
She was okay alone

Saving Grace
04:49
|
|||
|
We were torn by the storm
We were lost in the sea
There were millions of miles
Between you and me
I will make it okay
If I just see your face
For I know you will be
My saving grace
Under the water, I held your hand
Only a moment, and then it was gone
Can you feel it? Burning my eyes
Can you see it? Pulling me down
Don’t build your walls to tall to fall, fall on me
Love will find a way for you to stay, stay with me
Remember the promise, I made with a ring
Always and ever, our love would go on
Have you held it? Life in your hands
Have you lost it? The feeling is gone
Don’t build your walls to tall to fall, fall on me
Love will find a way for you to stay, stay with me

Before You Left Me
03:08
|
|||
|
It was a matter of time
Another thing so sublime
For just a moment a crime
You couldn’t drop me a line
Before you left me
If all these others agree
It’s now a cold history
This love it won’t come for free
Falling so far from this tree
Before you left me
My name is Mrs. Misery
It is so plain now you see
It wasn’t hard just for me
And now you won’t disagree
Before you left me
Before you left me…
It was a matter of time
If only you would be mine
For all these stars would align
But now we sit here and pine
Before you left me
And now you make it alone
Won’t ever find me at home
I know that things have been blown
And our true colors have been shown
Before you left me

NYE

|
No, I’m not mad
I didn’t mean to hurt you
I just can’t seem to face up to the facts
The truth is
That I’m afraid
That I can’t be the one you love
We can try to talk it out
For another hundred years
Is that the life you want to lead?
That’s not the kind of love that I need
I guess it’s fight or flight
I guess it’s neither wrong nor right
We can talk in just the whispers
My words have fallen New Year Eve

Dead Skin
04:18
|
|||
|
Lover, we’ve been out walking
We’ve been counting our mistakes
Now, that I need you
You don’t want me in your life
Looking, for some meaning
Only then we lay to rest
Stay, just for moment
So I might find the words
Now we’re shedding, all this dead skin
Clearing out our mind, all the time
Hope, the feeling uttered
In my eyes you are the truth
Wash, away the pain felt
Can we fix the damage done
I’m, not so clear now
Bitterness has taken hold
Step, into the darkness
There is no turning back

Where Did I Go Wrong
04:59
|
|||
|
All of this time
I followed your rules
All of this time
I suffered your fools
But I have to ask
Where did I go wrong?
Figure it out
Is what you say
Figure it out
Well come what may
But I have to ask
Where did I go wrong?
If I let go
Where will it lead?
If I let go
Will I be free
But I have to ask
Where did I go wrong?
Understanding has consumed me
A need to know why now has doomed me
Holy one the flames consumed me
Humble me now with your beauty

Ready to Go
06:00
|
|||
|
I threw it away, there’s no going back now
Thought you’d always be there, waiting for me at the final hour
A bit of this bad luck, is that all you’ve known
Well it’s always the black cat, that follows you home
Cuz we’re so unsatisfied with fame and fortune it won’t hold
We’ve been so distracted so mislead by all this glitter and gold
But can you change this, rearrange this, can you save my soul?
From the darkness, from the hopeless, from the bitterness?
I’m ready to go
If you’re ready to show me
That you really know
Are you willing to hold me
And can you unfold me
I’m ready to go, I’m ready to go, I’m ready to go
Your beauty is to me, as the waves upon the sea
Churning in a mystery, won’t you crash yourself against me
Hide me among the rocks, a safe harbor and a dock
Yet touch me with a tide, with you forever I’d reside
All we got now, is all we got now
I’m not walking away

Pray For Us
03:27
|
|||
|
I could spend the day with you
Wouldn’t that be nice
We could run away from here
Wouldn’t that be nice
I will wait for you my dear
I will pray for us
I will wait for you my dear
I will pray for us
I could waste away with you
I could disappear
We could chase eternity
We could disappear
Will you wait for me my dear
Will you pray for us
Will you wait for me my dear
Will you pray for us
I will wait for you my dear
I will pray for us
Will you wait for me my dear
Will you pray for us
