The day we met frozen, I held my breath right from the start I knew itI found a home for my heart, beats fast Colors and promises How to be brave How can I love when I'm afraid To fall But watching you stand alone All of my doubt Suddenly goes a...

When I thought that my whole world had ended The colors have faded to grey Just when I have given up on hoping The feelings they rushed back again There's a bright light in the sky tonight Guiding us safely to shore Not afraid anymore All that matters...

There's something I should have said I was too afraid It just was so hard to let you know Now it's all too late What we have is beautiful I didn't want to wreck it all Every day I think about the truth I wish I was I wish I was Brave enough to love...

So what, if everyone, seems to have it all put together And all you can do is just stare at the floor and wish you were better, faster You might only grow when you’re broken So break And breathe You always seem to take the round about way back to realit...

I wanna get to know what you have below That handsome halo that you show I wanna get behind the light in your eyes In case your smile is hiding some darkness I love inside And it might not be the right time But that's when they say I'll find The next gr...

Looking for an exit in this world of fear I can see the path that leads the way Mama never left, and daddy needs me here I wish the wind would carry a change Looking through the window to a world of dreams I can see my future slip away Honey you won’t ge...

Everyone thinks I'm crazy For thinking that when you see me You're gonna love me But I tell them it's easy Like loving is supposed to be Walk into the room love I'll be waiting Miles and miles and miles oh my love I've come to find Find you Must...

I was alright for awhile I could smile for awhile But I saw you last night You held my hand so tight As you stopped to say “hello” Oh you wished me well You couldn’t tell that I’d been Crying over you Crying over you When you said “so long” Left me...

I've got a heart for sale It's a little worn, and torn, and pale If it beats, then I'll make you a deal I'll give it to you for free, If you can love it, carefully, And get, it away from me. (Chorus) I know that I Should keep it for a while And learn...

I can hold my breath I can bite my tongue I can stay awake for days If that’s what you want Be your number one I can fake a smile I can force a laugh I can dance and play the part If that’s what you ask Give you all I am I can do it (x3) But I’m only human...

Lights around the tree Mama’s whistling Takes me back again There's something about December We’re hanging mistletoe And hoping that it snows I close my eyes and then I can still remember How to get back home Let all your memories Hold you close N...

2 AM, where do I begin? Crying off my face again. The silent sound of loneliness wants to follow me to bed. I'm the ghost of a girl, that I want to be most. I'm the shell of a girl, that I used to know well. Dancing slowly in an empty room. Can the...

All of the lights land on you The rest of the world fades from view And all of the love I see Please please say you feel it too And all of the noise I hear inside Restless and loud, unspoken and wild And all that you need to say To make it all go away...
