S o n g s

White lips, pale face
Breathing in snowflakes
Burnt lungs, sour taste
Light's gone, day's end
Struggling to pay rent
Long nights, strange men

And they say
She's in the Class A Team
Stuck in her daydream
Been this way since 18
But lately her face seems
Slowly sinking, wasting
Crumbling like pastries

And they scream
The worst things in life come free to us
Cos we're just under the upperhand
And go mad for a couple of grams
And she don't want to go outside tonight
And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland
Or sells love to another man
It's too cold outside
For angels to fly

Ripped gloves, raincoat
Tried to swim and stay afloat
Dry house, wet clothes
Loose change, bank notes
Weary-eyed, dry throat
Call girl, no phone

An angel will die
Covered in white
Closed eye
And hoping for a better life
This time, we'll fade out tonight
Straight down the line

Y

It's a four letter word
A place you go to heal your hurt
It's an alter, it's a shelter
One place you're always welcome

A pink flamingo double wide
One bedroom in a high rise
A mansion on a hill
Where the memories always will
Keep you company
Whenever you're alone
After all of my running, I'm finally coming

Home
The world tried to break me
I found a road to take me
Home
There ain't nothing but a blue sky now
After all of my running
I'm finally coming
Home

Well, they say it's where the heart is
And I guess the hardest part is
When your heart is broken
And you're lost out in the great wide open
Looking for a map
Finding your way back

To where you belong
Well, that's where I belong
Y

Going back to the corner where I first saw you
Gonna camp in my sleeping bag, I'm not gonna move
Got some words on cardboard, got your picture in my hand
Saying if you see this girl can you tell her where I am

Some try to hand me money, they don't understand
I'm not broke I'm just a broken hearted man
I know it makes no sense, but what else can I do
How can I move on when I'm still in love with you

'Cause if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be
Thinking maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet
And you'd see me waiting for you on the corner of the street

So I'm not moving

Policeman says son you can't stay here
I said there's someone I'm waiting for if it's a day, a month, a year
Gotta stand my ground even if it rains or snows
If she changes her mind this is the first place she will go

People talk about the guy
Who's waiting on a girl, oh whoa
There are no holes in his shoes
But a big hole in his world

Maybe I'll get famous as the man who can't be moved
And maybe you won't mean to but you'll see me on the news
And you'll come running to the corner
'Cause you'll know it's just for you

I'm the man who can't be moved

Y

Your hand fits in mine
Like it's made just for me
But bear this in mind
It was meant to be
And I'm joining up the dots
With the freckles on your cheeks
And it all makes sense to me

I know you've never loved
The crinkles by your eyes when you smile
You've never loved
Your stomach or your thighs
The dimples in your back at the bottom of your spine
But I'll love them endlessly

I won't let these little things slip out of my mouth
But if I do, it's you,
Oh it's you,
They add up to
I'm in love with you,
And all these little things

You can't go to bed,
Without a cup of tea,
And maybe that's the reason
That you talk, in your sleep
And all those conversations
Are the secrets that I keep
Though it makes no sense to me

I know you've never loved the sound of your voice on tape
You never want to know how much you weigh
You still have to squeeze into your jeans
But, you're perfect to me

You'll never love yourself
Half as much as I love you
You'll never treat yourself right, darlin'
But I want you to,
If I let you know, I'm here for you,
Maybe you'll love yourself,
Like I love you
Y

When I was younger
I saw my daddy cry
And curse at the wind
He broke his own heart
And I watched
As he tried to reassemble it
And my momma swore that
She would never let herself forget
And that was the day that I promised
I'd never sing of love
If it does not exist

You are the only exception

Maybe I know, somewhere
Deep in my soul
That love never lasts
And we've got to find other ways
To make it alone
Or keep a straight face
And I've always lived like this
Keeping a comfortable, distance
And up until now
I had sworn to myself that I'm content
With loneliness
Because none of it was ever worth the risk, well

I've got a tight grip on reality, but I can't
Let go of what's in front of me here
I know you're leaving in the morning, when you wake up
Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream

I'm on my way to believing

Y

I'm gonna wear you down
I'm gonna make you see
I'm gonna get to you
You're gonna give in to me

I'm gonna start a fire
You're gonna feel the heat
I'm gonna burn for you
You're gonna melt for me

Come on, come on
Into my arms

Come on, come on
Give in to me

You're gonna take my hand
Whisper the sweetest words
And if you're ever sad
I'll make you laugh
I'll chase the hurt

My heart is set on you
I don't want no one else
And if you don't want me
I guess I'll be all by myself

I'll use my eyes to draw you in
Until I'm under your skin
I'll use my lips
I'll use my arms
Come on, come on, come on
Give in to me

Y
Did you forget that I was even alive
Did you forget everything we ever had
Did you forget, did you forget about me

Did you regret ever standing by my side
Did you forget we were feeling inside
Now I'm left to forget about us

But somewhere we went wrong
We were once so strong
Our love is like a song, you can't forget it

So now I guess this is where we have to stand
Did you regret ever holding my hand
Never again, please don't forget, don't forget

We had it all, we were just about to fall
Even more in love, than we were before
I won't forget, I won't forget about us

And at last all the pictures have been burned
And all the past is just a lesson that we've learned
I won't forget, please don?t forget us

Somewhere we went wrong
Our love is like a song but you won't sing along
You've forgotten about us
Don't forget

Y

All this time I was wasting

Hoping you would come around
I've been giving out chances every time
And all you do is let me down

And it's taking me this long
Baby but I figured you out
And you're thinking we'll be fine again
But not this time around

You don't have to call anymore
I won't pick up the phone
This is the last straw
Don't wanna hurt anymore

And you can say that you're sorry
But I don't believe you baby
Like I did before
You're not sorry, no, no, no, no

Looking so innocent
I might believe you if I didn't know
Could've loved you all my life
If you hadn't left me waiting in the cold

And you got your share of secrets
And I'm tired of being last to know
And now you're asking me to listen
Cause it's worked each time before

You had me falling for you honey
And it never would've gone away, no
You used to shine so bright
But I watched all of it fade

So you don't have to call anymore
I won't pick up the phone
This is the last straw
There's nothing left to beg for

Y

I miss those blue eyes

How you kiss me at night
I miss the way we sleep

Like there's no sunrise
Like the taste of your smile
I miss the way we breathe

But I never told you
What I should have said
No, I never told you
I just held it in

And now,
I miss everything about you
Can't believe that I still want you
and after all the things we've been through
I miss everything about you
Without you

I see your blue eyes
Every time I close mine
You make it hard to see
Where I belong to
When I'm not around you
It's like I'm alone with me

Y

I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing

Just prayed to a God that I don't believe in

'Cause I got time while she got freedom

'Cause when a heart breaks, no it don't break even

Her best days will be some of my worst

She finally met a man that's gonna put her first

While I'm wide awake she's no trouble sleeping

'Cause when a heart breaks, no it don't break even

What am I suppose to do

When the best part of me was always you and

What am I suppose to say

When I'm all choked up and you're okay

I'm falling to pieces

They say bad things happen for a reason

But no wise words gonna stop the bleeding

'Cause she's moved on while I'm still grieving

And when a heart breaks, no it don't break even, even, no

You got his heart and my heart and none of the pain

You took your suitcase, I took the blame

Now I'm trying to make sense of what little remains

'Cause you left me with no love and no love to my name

Y

This was bound to happen

It was just a matter of time

This town is just too small

For us to really say goodbye

You’re smiling that smile

You get when you’re nervous

Like you don’t quite know what to do

But this is me you’re talking to

I heard you met somebody

It didn’t take you very long

And I’ll admit it isn’t easy

Knowing you’ve moved on

But I can see how you could make any woman

Fall deep in love with you

This is me you’re talking to

Me

The one who really knows you

Me

The one whose heart you’ve broken

Me

The one who was still hoping

You might be missing me

We don’t have to do this

We don’t have to act like friends

As much as I would love to

I really just don’t think we can

You don’t have to tell me you really loved me

After all we have been through

This is me you’re talking to

And you don’t have to say that you do

This is me you’re talking to 

Y

I see your face in my mind as I drive away

Because none of us thought it was going to end that way

But people are people and sometimes we change our minds

But it’s killing me to see you go after all this time

Music starts playing like the end of a sad movie

It’s the kind of ending you don’t really want to see

Because it’s a tragedy and it will only bring you down

Now I don’t know what to be without you around

And we know it’s never simple, never easy

Never a clean break, no one here to save me

And I can’t

Breathe

Without you but I have to

Breathe

Without you but I have to

It’s two a.m.

Feeling like I just lost a friend

Hope you know it’s not easy for me

Y

Ever since you said goodbye

I’ve been out here on the wind

Baby, you would be surprised

All the places you have been

I’ve seen you in

Albuquerque waiting out a blizzard

Arizona dancing across the desert

Watching the sun set in Monterrey

And baby I swear just the other day

You were down in Georgia

Picking them peaches

In Carolina barefoot on the beaches

No matter where you choose to be

In my heart you’ll always be

Everywhere

Because you and I made our choices

All those years ago

Still I know I’ll hear your voice

And you see you down the road

Maybe in Oklahoma driving across the prairie

In Dallas, Texas isn’t that where

Always said we’d like to try

Never did so maybe that’s why

You’re on every highway, just beyond on the high beams

Right beside me in all of my sweet dreams

No matter where you choose to be

In my heart I’ll always see you in

Albuquerque waiting out a blizzard

Arizona dancing across the desert

Watching the sun set in Monterrey

And baby I swear just the other day

You were down in Georgia

Picking them peaches

In Carolina barefoot on the beaches

No matter where you choose to be

In my heart you’ll always be

Everywhere

Y

She is beautiful in her simple little way

She doesn’t have too much to say when she gets mad

She understands she doesn’t let go of anything

Even when the pain gets really bad

I guess I should have been more like that

You had it all for a pretty little while

And somehow you made me smile when I was mad

You took a chance on a bruised and broken heart

Then you realized you wanted what you had

I guess I should have been more like that

I should have held on to my pride

I should have never let you lie

I guess you got what you deserved

I guess I should have been more like her

Forgiving you, she is stronger than I am

You don’t look much like a man from where I’m at

It’s plain to see desperation showed it’s truth

You love her and she loves with all she has

I guess I should have been more like that

She is beautiful in her simple little way

Y

Miss me, baby

When you hear our favorite song

When you start to sing along

Think about all the nights that we danced in the dark to it all night long

Then miss me, baby

Because when she’s holding you

Know that it’s killing me

Let my memory be the reason that you can’t sleep

And every time you feel her touch

I pray to God it’s not enough

That I touched your heart so deep you can shake me

Because I love you

I need you

Miss me, baby 

Y

I’m tired of spinning my wheels

I need to find a place where my heart can go to heal

I need to get there pretty quick

Hey mister, what do you have on that lot that you can sell me in a pinch?

Maybe one of them supped-up muscle cars

Color doesn’t matter, no I don’t need leather seats

All the really concerns me is

Speed

How fast can it go?

Can it get me over him quickly?

Zero to sixty

Can it outrun his memory?

What I really need is an open road

And a whole lot of speed

Throw me the keys so I can put some miles between us

Tear off the rear view mirror

There is nothing left to see

Let me lean on the gas

Because he catches up fast

Give me

I’m tired of spinning my wheels

Y

I've changed the presets in my truck

So those old songs don't sneak up

They still find me and remind me

You come back that easy

Try restaurants I've never been to

Order new things off the menu

That I never tried cause you didn't like

Two drinks in and you’re by my side

I've talked to friends

I've talked to myself

I've talked to God

I prayed liked hell but I still miss you

I tried sober I tried drinking

I've been strong and I've been weak

And I still miss you

I've done everything move on like I'm supposed to

I'd give anything for one more minute with you

I still miss you

I still miss you baby

I never knew until you were gone
How many pages you were on
It never ends I keep turning
Line after line and you are there again
I don’t know how to let you go
you are so deep down in my soul
I feel helpless so hopeless
It’s a door that never closes
I don't know how to do this

Y

Hope life’s been good to you

Since you’ve been gone
I’m doing fine now

I’ve finally moved on

It’s not so bad

I’m not that sad

I’m not surprised

Just how well I’ve survived

I’m over the worst

I feel so alive

I can’t complain

I’m free again

Don’t think I’m lying around crying at night

There is no need to worry

I’m really alright

I’ve never looked back

As a matter of fact

It only hurts when I breathing

My heart only breaks when it’s beating

My dreams only die when I’m dreaming

So I hold my breath – to forget

It only hurts when I breathe

Y

Every time I turn the conversation to something deeper than the weather I can feel you always shutting down.

And when I need an explanation for the silence, you just tell me you don't want to talk about it now.

What you're not saying is coming in loud and clear, we're at a crossroads here...

With you I've always been wide open, like a window or an ocean. There is nothing I've ever tried to hide.

So when you leave me not knowing where you're going I start thinking that we're looking, we're looking at goodbye.

How about a strong shot of honesty, don't you owe that to me...

Consider me a memory

Consider me the past

Consider me a smile in an old photograph, someone who used to make you laugh

If I'm not the one thing you can't stand to lose

If I'm not that arrow to the heart of you

Then I guess we're done, let's not drag this on

Consider me gone

Just consider me gone

I didn't see the fire burn to ashes

I couldn't feel the winds of change

I was lost inside the passion

Blinded by the memory of a flame

I guess I should've felt it when you touched me

I should've seen it in your eyes

But I believed you really loved me

Why can't I believe you've said goodbye 

Oh why is the last one to know 

The first one to cry and the last to let go

Why is the one left behind 

The one left alone with no one to hold

The last one to know

It would be easier to face the morning

If you were holding me tonight

But you left me without a warning

Holding onto a heartache while she's

Holding you tight

Y

Do you hold her all night long 

Do you sing her our love song 

Do you kiss her lips until love makes her weak

Do you promise her the moon 

Does she think loves coming soon 

Does she know each move is made from memory

Does she know the truth your love belongs to me

Do you wonder in the dark if she sees into your heart 

Do you close your eyes so she will never see, oh baby 

Nights were never made to spend alone

I can’t wish you love, but I can't wish you gone 

Do you hold her all night long 

Do you sing her our love song 

Do you kiss her lips until love makes her weak

Every time you touch her think of me

Y

I woke up at 3 am

And stumbled in the dark

I don’t sleep much anyway

Since we’ve been apart

But that’s just one of many things

I’ve adjusted to so well

Cause I surrendered long ago

And now finally I can tell

I head down highway 40

Past the place we used to go

I don’t stop to cry anymore

I just drive by real slow

And I don’t feel the dagger

When somebody speaks your name

I guess that I’m just growing more

Accustomed to the pain

I’m getting used to

Not getting over you

Not wondering how to shake

A hurt that won’t go away

Not knowing where to turn

Is something I thought I’d never learn

It’s really nothing new

I’m just getting used to not getting over you

Not knowing where to turn

Is something I thought I’d never learn

It’s really nothing new

I’m just getting used to not getting over you

A feeling I can’t lose

I’m just getting used to not getting over you
