All my emotion have intertwined Or could it be that I've lost my mind? There is a feeling of hopelessness Now that I've cracked up my life's a mess The pressure's building up This world has got too much Can't take society You are my enemy I'm close to the ed...

All night I've been awake you on my mind I've made a big mistake to leave you behind you know it's hard to sleep on a bed of nails I know that I was wrong you knew it all along I was a fool nothing better to do than fail again blame it o...

You were yesterday's hero An ordinary man of flesh and blood Took the World on your shoulders A hopeless crusade, and act of love But it's a world obsessed with religion And now you wear the face of a god Like the words you said, you're as good as dead Just a...

There is a face deep in your mind one that your heart won't leave behind memories are cold – empty of laughs and all that remains are photographs When she's gone there are no reasons nature's cruel, it's just different seasons going on and on There is a voic...

The minutes are slipping away As we say our last good bye Bid the world a fond farewell We'll share in a final begin to fade It's a tale they had to tell I'm wiping the tears from your face Though I can't control myself God have mercy on us all The chapter ha...

We've had it good for years now Don't let the change We've never needed answers To find the way Now all of a sudden Like waves on a beach Love has come crashing down The truth has been lost and found (Chorus) Don't say it's love, baby 'Cos you are to me What...

I read the letter through a haze of alcohol A close encounter with the weak and pitiful Although my conscience said "She's absolutely right" The thought was buried in the blindness of the night I'm free at last I'm drinking to the past Those best-forgotten me...

So long my dear friend The journey is at an end Yet somehow the flame is still burning Maybe I’ve lost my way But this much I need to say There’s something between us Eternal All that you mean to me Will last for infinity But something tells me I hav...

I held your hand so fair And like the morning sun We cause an ancient rhyme Oh I will laugh, I will cry For you Like the wind that blows The stars that shine The cool of night My ivory Moon The wind that calls The stars will shine And I will come...

The things that I believe today Won't catch the wind And blow away Tomorrow I'll still be here When the rest are gone I won't disappear Because all along I follow my heart And they can offer anything To change my mind Oh but I can see It never shi...

Somewhere between dusk and dawn I can feel you near me And all my cares are lost in reverie I draw you near, feel the warmth Of your breath upon me But sunrise comes and I am here alone Are you the ghost of love Coming back to haunt me again? Is that...

Just like a flame Life is ephemeral Reality Is only temporal Dawn turns to dusk It’s inescapable Like a supernova Goodbye sweet yesterday Can you feel the winds of change? Goodbye sweet yesterday Do you see the sunset up ahead? Just for a while W...

She's a girl who likes her living Never tired of always giving Faceless men pay for the pleasure And the nights go on and on (Chorus) Walking in the street For a handful money Love don't come cheap With a heart of gold She's indiscreet But to me, girl, it's...

Why do you hide in the shadows? Are you afraid of the sun? You've got a lifetime before you And many wars to be won You've got to look to the future And never dwell in the past And though you'll never forget me Some things are not meant to last So why don't...

Oh, send me off to war With a gun in my hand But I won't pull the trigger Out destiny is here 'Neath the red, white and blue So lead me to the slaughter Now don't be afraid Come and join the parade For the ultimate in sacrifice It's an old-fashioned story Of...

Answers can come too late And time is not one to wait I no longer believe Feelings of deep despair I tell myself I don't care It wasn't meant to be Maybe it's better this way Maybe it's better than the games we used to play Maybe it's better this way Won't gi...

Take a look at the world outside Tell me do you see Some lonely people looking back That's how it seems to me Now, you hide in your shell You're caught in a spell And it won't break until you Reach out And you will find I'm standing behind you when you fall S...

Baby, should've known that it was late Were you sleeping? Were you lying there awake? Must have been crazy Should've never gone this far Like a fool I did not know That I was breaking us apart Now I see how I was wrong I see it so clearly Now that you've gone...

Time is, time is a fast-flowing river A river that keeps getting deeper Deeper the further you swim You hold on to anything you can hold on to To someone you feel you belong to To stop being swept out to sea Wo-oh When you feel your spirit weaken Wo-o...

Cold by day, cold by night I wonder where the summer's gone Make no mistake, no mistake I've got to find you Well you can tell all your friends That you found a way Go tell them all that you've come to stay Just to listen, just to listen Just to listen to you...

I can see it in your eyes You’re a spirit I recognize Feelings I cannot explain And I don’t even know your name Do we only live to die Or is it that our hearts are Magnetized And our worlds collide for a reason? Do we only live to die Or is it...

Hair as long as a waterfall Eyes as bright as the stars He wonders why we are standing still When we’ve traveled so far Greets the sun every morning And the moon every night But everybody ignores him They want their names up in lights They want their n...

Now the deal is done I cover my eyes Step into the sun Now I Think I've finally learned Trust was the one last thing I was living on My life fell apart When that trust was gone 'Cause everybody has to change in time Faith can change your heart And...

I used to be strong, strong as a tree I stood in the sun and I swayed in the breeze The pride of the forest Standing so tall But then came the lightning out of the blue She struck at my heart and tore me in two And I fell to the ground In the gathering...

What if I showed you a picture Of two people frozen, frozen in time? What if I told you The girl that you see was once mine? But she said goodbye I was a fool I left the crease and ran She didn't know Looking back it seems like I Was wasting her time Broken...

If paradise is such a fragile affair Then why have we the lion's share? As if we walk the earth alone Like infants breaking the cradle There isn't anything we fail to corrupt The flip-side of the Midas touch We're walking in a world of glass With iron footstep...

Losing the fight, closing my eyes I’d run out of luck and I’d run out of time The beat of my heart was fading away The last thing I saw was your beautiful face You and I, we can’t deny That we’re still holding on To everything we thought was yet to be...

So much for your promises They died the day you let me go Caught up in a web of lies But it was just too late to know I thought it was you Who would stand by my side CHORUS: And now you've given me given me Nothing but shattered dreams shattered dreams Feel l...

My love is forsaken She's gone away Her mind, it was made up Could not be changed How could I tell her I had no shelter from the storm? How could I tell her I was wrong? She felt so neglected I was to blame And now I'm left standing Out in the rain How coul...

Here, where I stand The final touch is close at hand Where once joy was found The weathered walls are crashing down If only you could feel my feelings Then you'd realise This is the last emotion I'm gonna feel for anyone else This is the last emotion left Wi...

1. Innocence is just a game you play with me I didn't see the mask you wore I drew it back, new round, someone new Didn't that fall for bad I never knew love could be like this The bitterest taste, I got the sweetest kiss Ref. (I) Everybody tells me...

The things that I could have done The songs that I should have sung But it wasn’t that easy The times that I could have stayed The love that we would have made But it wasn’t that easy These, these are the thoughts That come back to haunt me late at nigh...

There is a choice to be made here There is a will to be known Either you live your own life or Follow wherever I go Nothing's forever And maybe I'll lonely cause you pain Nothing's forever Or will we remain? So tell me what's the state of play Do I leave or...

I never doubted a single word I put my trust in your hands And in the wake of a fatal vow I thought that love was the plan But see how the tables have turned And nothing is sacred The lesson is there to be learned By tearing the mask from your face Now it's...

Another day is ended And I still can't sleep Remembering my yesterdays I begin to weep If I could have it over Live my life again I wouldn't change a single day I wish that I could turn back the clock Bring the wheels of time to a stop Back to the days when l...

1. Can you save my from myself again? I'm drowning in this ocean I'm sinking like a stone again How long can i hold on? So somehow I hear the waves come crashing They'll just pull me down To stay around. Together, we can face it Ref. I know we can...

I've tried so hard To make you understand That this is not a lie Believe in me And if you take my hand And look me in the eye (Chorus) What other reason can I give to you When I want you and I need you What other reason can I give to you When I want you, 'cos...

I don’t want to sit at the head of the table I don’t need to be the lord of the house All I’m asking for is you and I to be lovers You don’t have to play the part You’ve already won my heart Let me say it loud and clear You have got nothing to fear You...
