Falling

Falling

Silence
Long lost friend
You’ve come to me again
Night comes closing in
And the loneliness within

I’m older
Should be wiser
Still I never seem to learn
I’m closer than ever
To the edge

[Chorus]
And I’m falling
I’m falling
From the world I used to know
Been trying to hold on
To something for so long
Now this never-ending dream won’t let go
I am falling…

Restless
I lie awake
And try to escape
Memories that never sleep
A taste of bitter sweet

I’ll hold on to forever
Still I’m stuck in yesterday
I’m closer than ever
To the edge

[Chorus]
And I’m falling
I’m falling
From the world I used to know
Been trying to hold on
To something for so long
Now this never-ending dream won’t let go
I am falling…

Come back and wake me up again
I can’t face this world alone
Cause in my dream
I return and then
I’m falling, I’m falling.

Something About Us

Something About Us

Stop the music, play the song
We’ll dance together all night long
The spotlight glows, somehow it knows,
That there’s something about us
Something about us

People smile when they walk by
There’s too much magic to deny
A fool can see we’re meant to be
’cause there’s something about us,
something about us

The words on every poet’s tongue
Every love song ever sung
about us, it’s about us
From Romeo and Juliet,
to plays they haven’t written yet
It’s old and new, it’s a classic tale of two
of our perfectly perfect love

You can see it in our ways
in how we spend our nights and days
A crazy laugh, a photograph
There’s just something about
something about us

The words on every poet’s tongue
Every love song ever sung
about us, it’s about us
From Romeo and Juliet,
to plays they haven’t written yet
It’s old and new, it’s a classic tale of two
of our perfectly perfect love

So stop the music, play the song
And we’ll dance together all night long
We’ll reminisce of moments like this
Cause there’s something about us
something about us
yes, there something about us…

Everything I Don’t Need

Everything I Don’t Need

Get out of my dreams
There’s no room left
Get out of my bed.
we did goodbye yesterday
Don’t you think I heard what you said

You want to much
You play to hard

Well, well you invade my morning light again
Don’t wanna answer the phone
I went to sleep last night angry
I’m sure I was alone
You know me well
Always ring my bell

And tell me what would I want from you
Cause you tried so hard to be who you are
but there’s no way I understand what you do
The last of a dying breed
Well we’ve come this far,
But it has to stop
You’re everything
Everything I don’t need.

I don’t wanna listen to answers
To the questions I didn’t ask
It’s all about you I wanna move out
before the breakdown starts.

It’s all wrong
Won’t you let me go

And tell me what would I want from you
Cause you tried so hard to be who you are
but there’s no way I understand what you do
The last of a dying breed
Well we’ve come this far,
But it has to stop
You’re everything
Everything I don’t need.

You fill my head
You block my view
It’s killing me
You’re everything I don’t need

If it’s all I do I’ll be free cause you’ve taken everything
Everything I don’t need
What would I want from you ohhhh
Cause you tried so hard to be who you are
but there’s no way I understand what you do.
The last of a dying breed
Well we’ve come this far,
but it has to stop
You’re everything
ohhhh
everything I don’t need.

Last of a dying breed
Everything I don’t need.

Ashes

Ashes

Someone told me
What doesn’t kill you only
Makes you stronger, sets you free
From all that held you down

With all my heart, I believed
The ember burning
Was a dream deep in me
When everything went up in flames
I still walked away

[Chorus]
Turn around and see what love’s done for me
You would not believe the way I used to be, so cold
Maybe love requires walking through the fire
To set me free, so I could rise up from the ashes

I was broken
A million pieces left to hold
I was frozen
My heart left out in the cold

Looking back I can see
How the voice of reason
Kept reminding me
I was never good enough somehow
Try and remind me now

[Chorus]
Turn around and see what love’s done for me
You would not believe the way I used to be, so cold
Maybe love requires walking through the fire
To set me free, so I could rise up from the ashes

Send it up in flames
Let it light the sky
Now that I know pain…I’m more alive
I’m more alive

[Chorus]
Turn around and see what love’s done for me
You would not believe the way I used to be, so cold
Maybe love requires walking through the fire
To set me free, so I could rise up from the ashes.
