album: "Breathe In" (2005)
"Don't Look Back"
My intuition tells me, that this relationship's not
working
But we, pretend we're better off not knowing
Only, to realise we can't go on.
Tried to tell you, but
you didn't wanna listen to me,
Say things we don't wanna admit to,
But it's no good, cause it's time to walk away.
I
can't explain my reasons anymore,
The talking is over and now I'm out the door...
[Chorus]
And if I don't
look back
Then I won't know how much I hurt you... I really hurt you,
And if I don't look back
It doesn't mean I
didn't love you... I didn't love you.
Please don't ask me,
Cause I can't take the way you're looking at me
Everytime
we touch it makes me feel so guilty,
And I can't do this anymore.
I can't explain, I've said it all before
And
I won't be persuaded, I'm half way out the door...
[Chorus]
And if I don't look back
Then I won't know
how much I hurt you... I really hurt you,
And if I don't look back
It doesn't mean I didn't love you... I didn't love
you.
It doesn't mean I didn't love you...
I can't explain, my reasons anymore
It's over, your heart's out
of my hands...
[Chorus]
And if I don't look back
Then I won't know how much I hurt you... I really hurt
you,
And if I don't look back
It doesn't mean I didn't love you... I didn't love you.
"The Game Is Won"
Am I talking too fast?
I got a lot to learn
I'll keep
my eyes wide open
And I will wait my turn
I would jump right in
But now I'm not so sure
If I put 2 and 2 together
Will
I still get 4?
And I know where I belong
But I'm still breaking through
Sometimes I get it wrong
But I'm keeping
it true
[chorus]
If everything is how it should be, then everything will come
When it gets here I'll be
ready
If it's just determination everything will come
And the games already won
They say you have one chance
But
that I don't believe
Although my expectations
Can get the better of me
I shouldn't be afraid
Of what I cant control
Cause
whatever's round the corner
I will take it all
And I know where I belong
But I'm still breaking through
Sometimes
I get it wrong
But I'm keeping it true
[chorus]
Believing in myself cant be wrong
I'm waiting for
my time in the sun
"Last Man Standing"
When I feel every thing in my life's a mess
And I can't
lift my head up above the rest
When all I touch I can't hold on to
Then I cover my eyes and try to picture you
Cause
your belief in me's so strong
I won't give in I will carry on
Cause I know you're the one
When the storm has
broken you'll be waiting
When the big wave crashes you'll be swimming
When the war is over you'll be waving the flag
I
know you'll be the last man standing with me
Yeah yeah
When I know in my heart I have my good and bad days
And
I wish I could hide that side of me away
But you're so blind - I can do no wrong
And I try to explain where the pains
come from
And I see you as my shining star
To live up to and be where you are
If I can reach that far
When
the storm has broken you'll be waiting
When the big wave crashes you'll be swimming
When the war is over you'll be waving
the flag
I know you'll be the last man standing with me
Never thought I'd find some one to be here with me
I
have so much trust in you you're all that I see
Do you know the difference you made to who I am
I couldn't find a better
man
You showed me how to understand
When the storm has broken you'll be waiting
When the big wave crashes you'll
be swimming
When the war is over you'll be waving the flag
I know you'll be the last man standing with me
You
and me
Oh you and me
Oh oh you and me
"Forget Me Not"
Forget me not, I ask of you
Wherever your life takes you
to
And if we never meet again
Think of me every now and then
We had just one day to recall
Now all I want
is something more
Than just a fading memory
Left wondering what could have been.
Isn't it a shame, that when
timing's all wrong
You're doing what you never meant to,
There's always something that prevents you.
Well I believe
in fate, it had to happen this way
But it always leaves me wondering whether...
In another life we'd be together.
We
should feel lucky we can say... we've always got yesterday
And as I leave it all behind
You're still emblazoned
in my mind
And for that very special day
Nobody loved me in that way
Forget me not, I ask of you
Wherever
your life takes you to
And if we never meet again
Think of me every now and then
"Breathe In"
I feel like I'm dragging you down a one way street
I don't
know which ways up
All I ask of you is to stay on your feet
That should be enough
If we stand around it could pass
us by
We could give up now, and never even try
[Chorus]
To breathe in life and breathe out
Like tomorrow
is today
Breathe in life and breathe out
It's not so long to wait
Breathe in life and breathe out
Wipe the dust
from your sweet smile
An breathe in life
I just want something real I can hold onto
I believe its near
Life's
too short to know the truth
Maybe it's already hear
We could throw ourselves into the fire
We could give up now and
never even try
[Chorus]
To breathe in life and breathe out
Like tommorrow is today
Breathe in life
and breathe out
It's not so long to wait
Breathe in life and breathe out
Wipe the dust from your sweet smile
And
breathe in life.
[Bridge]
We're chasing something we've dreamed of
(is not always out of reach)
It's
never far away from us
('cause I believe that)
[Chorus]
To breathe in life and breathe out
Like tomorrow
is today
Breathe in life and breathe out
It's not so long to wait
Breathe in life and breathe out
Wipe the dust
from your sweet smile
An breathe in life
Breathe in life and breathe out
Ooh, ooh, no, yeah, yeah yeah
Breathe
in life and breathe out
And it's not so long to wait
Breathe in life and breathe out
Wipe the dust from your sweet
smile
An breathe in life
Ooh, ohh, no, oh, ooh ohh
And breathe in life
Ooh, oh
And breathe in life.
"Nothing Else Matters"
So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more
from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters
Never opened myself this way
Life is ours,
we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
And nothing else matters
Trust I seek and I find in you
Every
day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters
Never cared for what they do
Never
cared for what they know
But I know
So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever
trusting who we are
And nothing else matters
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But
I know
Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
Trust
I seek and I find in you
Every day for us, something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters
Never
cared for what they say
Never cared for games they play
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
And
I know
So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
No, nothing
else matters
What You're Made Of"
Just like I predicted, we're at the point of no return
We
can go backwards, and no corners have been turned
I can't control it, if I sink or if I swim
'Cause I chose the water
that I'm in
And it makes no difference who is right or wrong
I deserve much more than this
'Cause there's only
one thing I want
[Chorus]
If it's not what you're made of
You're not what I'm looking for
You were
willing but unable to give me anymore
There's no way,
You're changing,
Cause some things will just never be mine,
You're
not in love this time...but it's alright.
I hear you talking, but your words don't mean a thing
I doubt you ever
put your heart into anything
It's not much to ask for, to get back what I put in
But I chose the waters that I'm in
And
it makes no difference who is right or wrong
I deserve much more than this
'Cause there's only one thing I want
[Chorus]
If
it's not what you're made of
You're not what I'm looking for
You were willing but unable to give me anymore
There's
no way,
You're changing,
Cause some things will just never be mine
You're not in love this time...but it's alright.
What's
your definition of the one?
What do you really want him to become?
No matter what I sacrifice it's still never enough.
Just
like I predicted
I will sink before I swim
'Cause these are the waters that I'm in
[Chorus]
If it's
not what you're made of
You're not what I'm looking for
You where willing, but unable to give me anymore
There's
no way,
You're changing,
'Cause some things will just never be mine
You're not in love this time.
Oh, if it's
not what you're made of
You're not what I'm looking for
You where willing, but unable to give me anymore
There's
no way,
You're changing,
'Cause some things will just never be mine
You're not in love this time
You're not in
love this time
You're not in love this time...
"Twisting The Chain"
I can see you're hurting,
You wear it like a coat
of amour,
You closed your eyes and chose your battleground,
And there's no way through you
Cause I'm still over here
and you're still over there.
You're pulling me to you, where you wanna be...
[Chorus:]
You're twisting
the chain
And I'm right there with you, I can match your pain,
You're twisting the chain
Do I run back to you or
run away again?
You think it doesn't matter,
You're gonna hurt yourself before I do,
You're aiming at me, I'll
throw it back to you
And I feel I'm losing
Cause I'm still over here and you're still over there.
[Repeat
Bridge and Chorus]
What ever you think, what ever you say...
Nothing you do could ever push me away [x2]
I'm
trying hard to break down the walls
You never let me get to the core
You know I'm not the enemy
So take these chains
away from me...
[Chorus]
"No Defence"
Armed with an arrow you're pointing it straight at my heart,
Watching
me break as I try to find my way out of the dark,
They say each moment comes to an end
So my pain is its consequence,
It's
a battle and I have no defence.
Sure as you said that you loved me you turned me away,
Suddenly everything changed
right in front of my face,
They say sometimes loves just unfair
But why's it always at my expense?
I've no answers
and I have no defence.
I guess I'll never understand
How love can come and go,
Looking through the broken glass
now I know,
But even though my bitter doubt lets my lonliness show,
I'll get over you, over you in the end.
I
wish that I had the courage to leave you behind,
Cause you are the one that I'll love for the rest of my life,
They
say someday I'll trust again
But it makes no difference,
Cause it's a battle and I have no defence.
No, no, no
It's
a battle and I have no
No defence
"The Longer We're Apart"
I
have been down this road before
And each time I run when I should walk
Diving too deep when I can't swim
Always asking
what could have been
I held my heart out in my hands
And you pull me down each time I stand
And I've tried to
fly away from you
I'd rather be alone than love you like I do
And so they say that time's a healer
Maybe it's
about time that I start
But I've found time don't make it any easier
The longer we're apart
Why is every body
always more afraid to live than die
They seem to have the strength to fail but not the will to try
I've never been like
this and I'm not about to start
The part of me I miss I'll find now that we're apart
I'm going down this road once
more
And each time I run when I should walk
When you reach the end just start again
Never look back at what could
have been
And now I know that time's a healer
Maybe it's about time that I start
But I've found time it don't
make it any easier
The longer the longer we're apart
Oh baby wont you sing it to me
Oh the longer baby
Oh
oh yeah
"Like You Love Me"
Woah... mm mmm
Its not every day you wake up
And
admit who you really are
Most days its easier to shut yourself up
And never look that far
This is me, I'm covered
What
I hid behind the door
And everything she says angers
I'm apologizing for
[Chorus:]
Do you see her when
you see me?
Understand her insecurities?
And accept the part she plays in me?
Could you love her....like you love
me?
Like you love me
Ohh, like you love me
Woahhh....
Id rather be who you think I am
See myself through
your eyes
Cos the mirror you use cant be too harsh
And I want it to tell me lies
So today I'll be brave and I'll
face myself
Show you who I really am
Cos wherever I go she follows me
can you reach out for her hand?
[Chorus:]
Do
you see her when you see me?
Understand her insecurities?
Ohh, And accept the part she plays in me?
Could you love
her....like you love me?
I'm not perfect but I try to be
Oh, could you really have the hold in me
Sometimes what
you get isn't what you see
Could you believe in her, like you believe in me?
Ohhh.....hey hey, yeh yeh...ohh woah..
Mmm...do
you love her, woah...
Do you see her when you see me?
Understand her insecurities
Ohh, And accept the part she
plays in me?
Could you love her...woah
Do you see her when you see me
Understand her insecurities
Ohh, and
accept the part she plays in me
Could you love her.........like you love me?
Like you love me
Ohh...like you
love me
Woah, like you....love me....
"Seven Veils"
Heaven knows it's time for us
To wake up with the sun
Like
a child you kiss my eyes
The tears have come and gone
And now I feel the mist is clearing
And all the clouds
will drift away
And there's no chill in the air tonight when
We know that love is here to stay
And now we're
dancing like the dance of the seven veils
Every move closer till the moment we lose our selves
If the moon will
shine for us
The stars will light the way
And your touch is like a flame to me
Burning hotter every day
And
there's no smoke with out a fire and
There is no sleep without a dream
There's no me without you any more cause
Heaven's
where we've been
And now we're dancing like the dance of the seven veils
Every move closer till the moment we lose
our selves
So we're here together safe and warm
Like a flower opens for the dawn
I'll give myself to you and
the rythm we fall into
Yeah
Now we're
And now we're dancing like the dance of the seven veils
Every move
closer till the moment we lose our selves
And now we're dancing like the dance of the seven veils
Every move
Every
move closer till the moment we lose our selves
We lose ourselves
Till we lose ourselves
Lose ourselves
