music is love

Now the greenest green I've ever seen
Was the grass on which you laid
And the bluest blue was in my eyes
When you said you couldn't stay

And the biggest lost I ever took
Was losing what we'd begun
And the greatest song I ever heard
Was the one we never sung

Now the reddest red I've always said
Is the sunset coming down
Soon the blackest night that kills the light
Is the only thing around

And the downest down I've ever been
Is when I knew my race was run
And the greatest song I've ever heard
Was the one we never sung

Time will kill the pain they say
And we'll live to love another day
If you wanna win you got to play the game

Now the grayest gray came on the day
We were standing in the rain
And the hardest hurt I've ever known
Was when you tried to ease my pain
And the longest day in history
Waiting til my crying's done
And the saddest song I ever heard
Was the one we finally sung

I can't fight this feeling any longer
And yet I'm still afraid to let it flow
What started out as friendship, has grown stronger
I only wish I had the strength to let it show
I tell myself that I can't hold out forever
I said there is no reason for my fear
Cause I feel so secure when we're together
You give my life direction
You make everything so clear

And even as I wander
I'm keeping you in sight
You're a candle in the window
On a cold, dark winter's night
And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might

And I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
It's time to bring this ship into the shore
And throw away the oars, forever

Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
And if I have to crawl upon the floor
Come crushing through your door
Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore

My life has been such a whirlwind since I saw you
I've been running round in circles in my mind
And it always seems that I'm following you, girl
Cause you take me to the places that alone I'd never find

And even as I wander I'm keeping you in sight
You're a candle in the window on a cold, dark winter's night
And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might

And I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
It's time to bring this ship into the shore
And throw away the oars, forever

Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
And if I have to crawl upon the floor
Come crushing through your door
Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore.

I was so lonely until I met you
Told myself I'd get by without love
Drowning my sorrows
Avoiding tomorrows
And I felt like I just had enough

You light up my face
With your jokes and your smiles
And the way that you came every night
I don't know whatcha got
But I'm sure glad I found you
Could be wrong it sure feels right

Here I am, I'm back on the street again
Here I am, I'm back on my feet again

Surprising myself with the way that I feel
So happy that you're here with me
Some men that I've known
Have left me with nothing
But I guess that was just meant to be

Here I am, I'm back on the street again
Here I am, I'm back on my feet again

I was out for the count
I was down, I was beat, I was crying
I was caught up in hate
Hiding my face and not trying

I was so lonely until I met you
Told myself I'd get by without love
Drowning my sorrows
Avoiding tomorrows
And I felt like I just had enough

Here I am, I'm back on the street again
Here I am, I'm back on my feet again

Here I am, I'm back on the street again
Here I am, I'm back on my feet again

Here I am, I'm back on the street again
Here I am, I'm back on my feet again

Here I am, I'm back on the street again
Here I am, I'm back on my feet again

Don't you know
So many things they come and go
Like your words that once rang true
Just like the love I thought I found in you

And I remember the thunder
Talkin' 'bout the fire in your eyes
But you walked away when I needed you most
Now maybe, baby, maybe, baby

I found someone
To take away the heartache
To take away the loneliness
I've been feelin' since you've been gone
Since you've been gone

Dry your eyes
I never could bare to see you cry
Someday your love will shine through
And show you the feelings
If you never really knew


But baby don't you lose that thunder
Talkin' 'bout the fire in your eyes
You're lookin' at me
But ya still don't believe
That maybe, baby, maybe, baby

I found someone
To take away the heartache
To take away the loneliness
I've been feelin' since you've been gone
Since you've been gone

Too long on the border line
Wonderin' if your love was really mine
But you left me with open eyes
And when I realized, baby

I found someone
To take away the heartache
To take away the loneliness
I've been feelin' since you've been gone
Since you've been gone

I found someone
To take away the heartache
To take away the loneliness
I've been feelin' since you've been gone
Since you've been gone

If I wanted to I could do anything right
I could dance with the devil on a
Saturday night
If I wanted to I could turn matches to gold
I could smoke drink swear and I would never
grow old
I wouldn't have to be in love with you
If I only wanted to
If I only wanted to

If I wanted to I could run fast as a train
Be as sharp as a needle that's twisting your brain
If I wanted to I could turn mountains to sand
Have political leaders in the palm of my hand
I wouldn't have to be in love with you
If I only wanted to
If I only wanted to

I could leave tonight
And I would be all right
Stop holding on
If I wanted to
If I only wanted to

If I wanted to I could be as patient as death
Fix this hole in my heart leaking into my flesh
If I wanted to I could turn sparks into ice
There'd never be another woman who could make you
think twice
I wouldn't have to be in love with you
If I only wanted to
If I only wanted to

I thought it was over baby
We said our goodbyes
But I can't go a day
Without your face going through my mind

In fact not a single minute
Passes without you in it
Your voice, your touch
Memories of your love
Are with me all of the time

Let me let go, baby
Let me let go
If this for the best
Why are you still in my heart?
Are you still in my soul?
Let me let go

I talked to you the other day
Looks like you've made your escape
You put us behind
No matter how I try
I can't do the same

Let me let go, baby
Let me let go
It just isn't right
I've been 2,000 miles
Down a dead-end road
Let me let go, darlin' won't you
I just gotta know
If this is for the best
Why are you still in my heart?
Are you still in my soul?
Let me let go....

The lights of this strange city are shining
But they don't hold no fascination for me
I'm tryin to find the bright side baby
Everywhere I look, everywhere I turn
You're all I see

Let me, let me let go baby won't you
Let me let go
It just isn't right
I've been 2,000 miles
Down a dead-end road
Oh, let me let go, darlin' won't you
I just gotta know
If this is for the best
Why are you still in my heart?
Yeah, you're still in my soul
Let me let go...

Well you know those times
When you feel like there's a sign there on your back
Say's I don't mind if ya kick me
Seems like everybody has
Things go from bad to worse
You'd think they can't get worse than that
And then they do

You still walk the straight and narrow
And you don't know where you are
Use the needle of your compass
To sew up your broken heart
Ask directions from a genie
In a bottle of Jim Beam
And she lies to You
That's when you learn the truth

If you're going through hell
Keep on going, Don't slow down
If you're scared, don't show it
You might get out
Before the devil even knows you're there

Well I been deep down in that darkness
I been down to my last match
Felt a hundered different demons
Breathing fire down my back
And I knew that if I stumbled
I'd fall right into the trap that they were laying, Yeah

But the good news
Is there's angels everywhere out on the street
Holding out a hand to pull you back upon your feet
The one's that you been dragging for so long
You're on your knees
You might as well be free
Guess what I'm saying
If you're going through hell
Keep on going, Don't slow down
If you're scared, don't show it
You might get out
Before the devil even knows you're there

Yeah, If you're going through hell
Keep on moving, Face that fire
Walk right through it
You might get out
Before the devil even knows you're there

If you're going through hell
Keep on going, Don't slow down
If you're scared, don't show it
You might get out
Before the devil even knows you're there

Yeah, If you're going through hell
Keep on moving, Face that fire
Walk right through it
You might get out
Before the devil even knows you're there
Yeah you might get out
Before the devil even knows you're there
Yeah.

for all those times you stood by me
for all the truth that you made me see
for all the joy you brought to my life
for all the wrong that you made right
for every dream you made come true
for all the love I found in you
I'll be forever thankful baby
you're the one who held me up
never let me fall
you're the one who saw me through, through it all

you were my strength when I was weak
you were my voice when I couldnt speak
you were my eyes when I couldnt see
you saw the best there was in me
lifted me up when I couldnt reach
you gave me faith cuz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me, ooh baby..

you gave me wings and made me fly
you touched my hand, I could touch the sky
I lost my faith, you gave it back to me
you said no star was out of reach
you stood by me and asked the toll
I had your love, I had it all
I'm greatful for each day you gave me
Baby I don't know that much
But I know this much is true
I was blessed because I was loved by you...

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldnt speak
you were my eyes when I couldnt see
you saw the best there was in me
lifted me up when I couldnt reach
you gave me faith cuz you believed
I'm everything I am
because you loved me

You were always there for me
The tender wing that carried me
the light in the dark
shining your love into my life
you've been my inspiration
through the lies, you were the truth
My world is a better place because of you

you were my strength when I was weak
you were my voice when I couldnt speak
you were my eyes when I couldnt see
You say the best there was in me
lifted me up when I couldnt reach
you gave me faith cuz you believed
I'm everything I am because you loved me

I'm everything I am
Because you loved me....

Life ain't always beautiful
Sometimes it's just plain hard
Life can knock you down
It can break your heart

Life ain't always beautiful
You think you're on your way
And it's just a dead end road
At the end of the day

But the struggles make you stronger
And the changes make you wise
And happiness has it's own way
Of takin' it's sweet time

No, life aint always beautiful
Tears will fall sometimes
Life aint always beautiful
But it's a beautiful ride

Life aint always beautiful:
Some days, I miss your smile.
I get tired of walkin' all,
These lonely miles.

And I wish for just one minute
I could see your pretty face
Guess I can dream
But life dont work that way

But the struggles make me stronger
And the changes make me wise
And happiness has it's own way
Of takin' it's sweet time

No, life aint always beautiful
But I know I'll be fine
Hey, life ain't always beautiful
But it's a beautiful ride
What a beautiful ride

I found the pieces in my hand
They were always there
But just took some time for me to understand
You gave me words I just can't say
So if nothing else
I'll just hold on while you drift away

Cuz everything you wanted me to hide
Was everything that makes me feel alive

The cities grow, the rivers flow
Where you are I'll never know
But I'm still here
If you were right and I was wrong
Then why are you the one who's gone
And I'm still here

I see the ashes in my heart
I smile the widest when I cry inside
And my insides blow apart
I try to wear another face
Just to make you proud
Just to make you put me in my place

But everything you wanted from me
Was everything that I could never be

The cities grow, the rivers flow
Where you are, I'll never know
But I'm still here
If you were right and I was wrong
Why are you the one who's gone?
And I'm still here

Maybe tonight it's gonna be alright
I will get better
Mabye today it's gonna be okay
I will remember

I held the pieces of my soul
I was shattered and I wanted you to come and make me whole
Then I saw you yesterday
But you didn't notice
You just walked away....

Cuz everything you wanted me to hide
Was everything that makes me feel alive

The cities grow, the rivers flow
Where you are I'll never know
But I'm still here
If you were right and I was wrong
Why are you the one who's gone
And I'm still here?

The lights go out, the bridges burned
Once you're gone, you can't return
But I'm still here
Remember how you used to say I'd be the one who'd run away
But I'm still here
I'm still here

It's 3 AM
And I finally say
I'm sorry for actin' that way
I didn't really mean to, make you cry
Oh, baby somtimes I wonder why

Does it always have to come down
To you leaving
Before I say I love you
Why do I always use the words that cut the deepest
When I know how much it hurts you
Oh baby why do I do that to you?

I know I'd never let you walk away
So why do I push you til you break
Why are you always on the verge of goodbye
Before I show you how I really feel inside

Why does it always have to come down
To you leaving
Before I say I love you
Why do I always use the words that cut the deepest
When I know how much it hurts you
Oh baby, why do I do that to you
Why do I do that to you?

Why do I always use the words that cut the deepest
When I know how much it hurts you
Oh baby, why do I do that to you?
Why do I do that to you

Turn it inside out so I can see
The part of you that’s drifting over me
And when I wake you’re never there
But when I sleep you’re everywhere
You’re everywhere

Just tell me how I got this far
Just tell me why you’re here and who you are
’cause every time I look
You’re never there
And every time I sleep
You’re always there

’cause you’re everywhere to me
And when I close my eyes it’s you I see
You’re everything I know
That makes me believe
I’m not alone
I’m not alone

I recognize the way you make me feel
It’s hard to think that
You might not be real
I sense it now, the water’s getting deep
I try to wash the pain away from me
Away from me

’cause you’re everywhere to me
And when I close my eyes it’s you I see
You’re everything I know
That makes me believe
I’m not alone
I’m not alone

I am not alone
Whoa, oh, oooh, oh

And when I touch your hand
It’s then I understand
The beauty that’s within
It’s now that we begin
You always light my way
I hope there never comes a day
No matter where I go
I always feel you so

’cause you’re everywhere to me
And when I close my eyes it’s you I see
You’re everything I know
That makes me believe
I’m not alone
’cause you’re everywhere to me
And when I catch my breath
It’s you I breathe
You’re everything I know
That makes me believe
I’m not alone

You’re in everyone I see
So tell me
Do you see me?

I never knew
I never knew that everything was falling through
That everyone I knew was waiting on a queue
To turn and run when all I needed was the truth
But that's how it's got to be
It's coming down to nothing more than apathy
I'd rather run the other way than stay and see
The smoke and who's still standing when it clears

Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on your mind

Let's rearrange
I wish you were a stranger I could disengage
Say that we agree and then never change
Soften a bit until we all just get along
But that's disregard
Find another friend and you discard
As you lose the argument in a cable car
Hanging above as the canyon comes between

Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on your mind

Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on your mind

And suddenly I become a part of your past
I'm becoming the part that don't last
I'm losing you and its effortless
Without a sound we lose sight of the ground
In the throw around
Never thought that you wanted to bring it down
I won't let it go down till we torch it ourselves

Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on your mind

Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on your mind

There's something 'bout the way you look tonight,
There's something 'bout the way that I can't take my eyes off you.
There's something 'bout the way your lips invite,
Maybe it's the way that I get nervous when your around.
And I want you to be mine
and if you need a reason why,


It's in the way that you move me, and the way that you tease me,
The way that I want you tonight,
It's in the way that you hold me, and the way that you know me,
When I can't find the right words to say,
You feel it in the way, you feel it in the way.

There's something 'bout how you stay on my mind,
There's something 'bout the way that I whisper your name when I'm asleep, oh girl
Maybe it's the look you get in your eyes.
Maybe it's the way that makes me feel to see you smile.
And the reasons they may change
But what I'm feeling stays the same.


It's in the way that you move me, and the way that you tease me
The way that I want you tonight
It's in the way that you hold me, and the way that you know me
When I can't find the right words to say,
You feel it in the way

I can't put my fingers on just what it is that makes me love you, you baby.
So don't ask me to describe, I get all choked up inside, just thinking bout the way.


It's in the way that you move me, and the way that you tease me
The way that I want you tonight
It's in the way that you hold me, and the way that you know me
When I can't find the right words to say,
You feel it in the way..


There's something 'bout the way you look tonight.
There's nothing more to say then, I feel it in the way.

My life is brilliant.

My life is brilliant.
My love is pure.
I saw an angel, of that I'm sure.
She smiled at me on the subway
She was with another man
But I won't lose no sleep on that
Cause I've got a plan

You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful it's true.
I saw your face in a crowded place.
And I don't know what to do
Cause I'll never be with you

Yeah she caught my eye
As I walked on by
She could see from my face
That I was fucking high
And I don't think that I'll see her again
But we shared a moment that will last til the end

You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful it's true
I saw your face in a crowded place
And I don't know what to do
Cause I'll never be with you

You're beautiful. You're beautiful
You're beautiful it's true
There must be an angel
With a smile on her face
When she thought up that I should be with you

But it's time to face the truth
I will never be with you

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.
It may be over but it won't stop there,
I am here for you if you'd only care.
You touched my heart you touched my soul.
You changed my life and all my goals.
And love is blind and that I knew when,
My heart was blinded by you.
I've kissed your lips and held your head.
Shared your dreams and shared your bed.
I know you well, I know your smell.
I've been addicted to you.

Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

I am a dreamer but when I wake,
You can't break my spirit - it's my dreams you take.
And as you move on, remember me,
Remember us and all we used to be
I've seen you cry, I've seen you smile.
I've watched you sleeping for a while.
I'd be the father of your child.
I'd spend a lifetime with you.
I know your fears and you know mine.
We've had our doubts but now we're fine,
And I love you, I swear that's true.
I cannot live without you.

Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

And I still hold your hand in mine.
In mine when I'm asleep.
And I will bear my soul in time,
When I'm kneeling at your feet.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.
I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow.
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.
