[Verse 1] It's a little after midnight There's a couple in the corner And I wonder what he said because she's crying And I guess they won't remember When they wake up in the morning With the headache from the whiskey and the wine I know that I have said...

You don't like it in the shadows but you won't let me shine a light I would wash away your troubles But it seems The more that I hold on The more that you let go And I know, you better let somebody love you or find yourself, on your own Tell me why al...

Billy's leaving today (don't know where he's going). Holds his head in disgrace (he can't escape the truth). He knows the price that he's paid. He admits that it's too late to admit that he's afraid. Tomorrow comes. Sorrow becomes his soul mate. The...

How come, you don't wanna see me? How come you've gone and left me alone? How come, you took a slow boat to china? What can I do if I can't get throught to you? Baby, blue on blue... I want you more Than I ever wanted Than I ever need it Anyone I ever...

Your mouth is a revolver firing bullets in the sky. Your love is like a soldier, loyal till you die. And I’ve been looking at the stars for a long, long time. I’ve been putting out fires all my life. Everybody wants a flame, but they don’t want to get burn...

Trouble is her only friend and he's back again. Makes her body older than it really is. She says it's high time she went away, No one's got much to say in this town. Trouble is the only way is down. Down, down. As strong as you were, tender you go...

Yes, this love’s not good enough. It’s time to let it go. Our weary hearts just fall apart. I feel it in my bones. And God knows that it’s hard to find the one, But in time all the flowers turn to face the sun. So silently, just walk with me, like any ot...

Let me show you my emotions Tell you how I feel Hear my simple notions To me they're very real Can't you see they've got it wrong Set their morals high But it all comes down to one simple fact In the end we all die So why can't we be free to do what we pleas...

Me and my guitar play my way. It makes them frown. But little pieces by the highway bring me down. Mine is not a heart of stone, I am only skin and bone, And those little pieces are little pieces of my own. Why don't you give me some love? I've taken a s...

Did I disappoint you or let you down? Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown? 'Cause I saw the end before we'd begun, Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won. So I took what's mine by eternal right. Took your soul out into the night....

There are times when I don't know where I stand You make me feel like I'm a boy and not a man, There are times when you don't give me your smile, I lie awake at night and worry for a while.. It's okay 'cause I know, you shine even on a rainy day, I can...

[Verse 1] Let it slide All the choices I made Let it burn As it rolls down my face Let it fall Just to be the one again But if I want I won't be loved by you at all Let it slip Every promise I break Let it burn All the blows that we trade Let it f...

She’s gone Hollywood on me She thinks every one’s watching And it’s all about drugs and money, And the back door when she leaves Who’d you think you are? You’re Just a little fish in a sea of sharks From the past you’re hiding And you don’t want to be r...

[Verse 1] When my heart doesn’t beat anymore And my body’s cold You will walk, dressed in black, to my door And the bells will toll [Pre-Chorus] You use my love like an open vein Just when I thought it would heal Back you came [Chorus] Seeing you a...

Is it a warning ? Is it an evil sign ? Is it a people, who have lost their mind ? Is it the darkness ? Is it a man resigned ? Is it a best friendleaving you behind? Is it ever gonna stop? Will they ever let you go? You´re in a rush, they don´t care en...

The guilty undertaker sighs, The lonesome organ grinder cries, The silver saxophones say I should refuse you. The cracked bells and washed-out horns Blow into my face with scorn, But it's not that way, I wasn't born to lose you. I want you, I want you,...

So many voices So many noises Invisible wires keeping us apart So many choices But they're all disappointments And they only steal me away from you Climb into our private bubble Let's get into all kinds of trouble Chorus: Slide over here let your hands feel t...

If there's any justice in the world, I would be your man, You would be my girl, If i'd found you first you know its true, He would be alone, I would be with you, When you decide, dont let me down, Coz there's nothing to be certain in my life, And you've seen...

Love is madness that's quick to burn And lying in the embers is where we are And if my promise is unreturned Before the day is over I will depart If I could choose I'd have you stay But I gave my heart to you and it's yours to break Before my fears tear...

I don't believe in what they say, I don't believe in the morals they set. Yes I believe I don't have to regret, Whatever happens when we have met. And can't you see that you are stuck, In this poor world where life is luck. And, no one really give...

A silent tear, an empty smile, So insincerely, but so gently in denial. And me the thief, so selfishly, All the moments meant for you, I made them mine. How was I so blind to miss you crumbling inside? Is it too late now to fix you? Let me make it right!...
