"Room To Breathe"

"Room To Breathe"



You ain't done nothing wrong but I think we need to talk
You might be the one but before we go too far
I need a little time to figure out my heart
Who could ask for more but I need to know for sure

I haven't been myself from the minute that we met
I ran into your world and kinda walked out on myself
All those dreams I had,I began to second guess for you
One too many questions until I know the truth

I need room to breathe
A little time to think
To make sure I don't lose me
I need room to breathe

I know you're not to blame and I swear there's no one new
This has to do with me and not a thing to do with you
So don't try to understand you don't have a thing to prove to me
If you really love me just give me what I need

I need room to breathe
A little time to think
To make sure I don't lose me
I need room to breathe

Please don't try to take this wrong
Please don't turn away
I just don't want to look back and say

I need room to breathe
A little time to think
To make sure I don't lose me
I need room to breathe

Room to breathe

"Roses"

"Roses"



A soft summer evening, another time, another place
He brought her red roses on their very first date
She got carried away by the things that he said
Time would erase them but she would never forget

And the roses heard it all
The rose in her hair, the rose in her hand
The roses in the paper on the wall
There's a story to tell if the roses could talk

Somewhere close to midnight, another time, another place
She lays in the darkness with tears on her face
While he talks in his sleep confessing his love
He calls out a name that she's never heard of

And the roses heard it all
The rose in her hair, the rose in her hand
The roses in the paper on the wall
There's a story to tell if the roses could talk

She never told him
She never let him see her cry
Only the roses know
What she kept down inside

The years took their toll and the angels took her away
Now there's family and friends at a cold winter's grave
He kneels down and whispers. "You're the only love that I've known"
As he lays a rose on a cold marble atone
But the roses heard it all
The rose from her garden, the rose in her Bible
The roses in the paper on the wall
There's a story to tell if roses could talk
What a story to tell if roses could talk

"Rumor Has It"

"Rumor Has It"



I overheard a conversation your name was mentioned in
But they didn't talk about us, only her again
I didn't want to listen but I hung on every word
They said some things I wish I hadn't heard

Rumor has it she has you
Rumor has it you love her too
Talk is cheap but the price is high when it's true
Rumor has it she has you

This town's so small a whisper can be heard a mile away
And people here will gossip when there's nothing else to say
I wouldn't have believed my ears but I see it in your eyes
The stories goin' 'round this town aren't lies

Rumor has it she has you
Rumor has it you love her too
Talk is cheap but the price is high when it's true
Rumor has it she has you

Whoa....rumor has it she loves you...

"Runaway Heart"

"Runaway Heart"



I'm rolling I'm tumbling, I'm falling apart
Cause I'll never, no I'll never find love
In his runaway heart

He's a fast rushing river I can't get across
Like an ocean of sadness, o'er which I am tossed
He never slows down, he's always ready to fly
And when I get next to you it's just hello
Hello and goodbye

I'm rolling I'm tumbling, I'm falling apart
Cause I'll never, no I'll never find love
In his runaway heart

No rope can hold down
He's not fit to be tied
Like the wildest of horses
Nobody can ride

Freedom's his distance
And the means to his end
So I'm giving up trying
Cause I'm just chasing, chasing the wind

I'm rolling I'm tumbling, I'm falling apart
Cause I'll never, no I'll never find love
In his runaway heart

In his runaway heart

"Say The Word"

"Say The Word"



Ooo say the word
And I'll be yours
Say the word
So I'll be sure
That what I'm feeling goes for both of us
I hate to hear you tell me what you feel is really love

Say the word
Open up
Say the word
What's the hold up
Before I go and give my heart away
I need to know I'm falling for a man who ain't afraid to

Say the word
It's just four little letters
And if you really mean it
you've got me forever
And I've got so much love for you
That all you gotta do
Is say the word

And I'll be there
Anytime, anywhere

Say the word
It's just four little letters
And if you really mean it
you've got me forever
And I've got so much love for you
That all you gotta do
Is say the word

And I'll be yours
So I'll be sure
Say the word
And I'll be there
Anytime, anywhere

"Secret"

"Secret"



She's quiet this morning she can't say why
Sends her husband off to work with a kiss goodbye
Unlocks that old diary turns to the third of May
Adds another tear to the page
And it's lonely being the only one who knows the truth

She has a secret that she can never tell
One wrong decision still puts her heart through hell
Does he miss her does he forgive her
The love that they shared will always be a secret

Only she knows she still loves him and she hates the choice she made
Wishes she could find him tell him why she walked away
Every day gets harder livin' with herself
But she knew he's be better of raised by someone else
God, it's lonely being the only one who knows the truth

She has a secret that she can never tell
One wrong decision still puts her heart through hell
Does he miss her does he forgive her
The love that they shared will always be a secret

She unlocks that old diary turns to the third of May
Adds another tear to the page

"She Can't Save Him"
(with Trisha Yearwood)

"She Can't Save Him"
(with Trisha Yearwood)



She can hear his car, as it pulls in the drive.
She can whisper a prayer: "Thank God, he's alive."
She can meet him at the door; catch him when he falls.
She can even believe that it isn't his fault.
But she can't save him

She can make his coffee, in the cold light of day.
She can make his excuses: tell the boss he'll be late.
She can wave at the neighbours, then kiss him goodbye,
And not say a word 'bout what happened last night.
But she can't save him.

Sometimes she dreams that he's caught in a stream,
And the water keeps pulling him down.
She reaches for him, as he pulls her in.
She wakes just before she drowns.

She can remember the man that he was,
And still shed a tear for what he's become.
She can live in that house until the day,
She sees that it's only herself she can save.
But she can't save him.

And that day she'll know she hasn't failed,
'Cause nothing can change until he saves himself.

No, she can't save him.
No, she can't save him.
No, she can't save him.

"She Got Drunk Last Night"

"She Got Drunk Last Night"



She was flagging down the waiter
She was feeling 'bout as faded as the flowers from that wallpaper
Nobody'd even asked for her ID when she walked in there
Don't know how long she'd been there
She was fixing up her hair and fumbling though her purse
She was tired of feeling lonely
She was tired of feeling old
She was hating the idea of going home alone

So she got drunk last night
Drunk enough to call
That number in her phone that she would never call
Without the alcohol
But she needed an excuse
To let herself get used
And so that's why

She got drunk the way she'd never
The way she hadn't in forever
But she needed to feel better, and wanted, and beautiful
Even if he didn't love her
And it had been a long time over
She had to make one more mistake
And she couldn't do that sober

So she got drunk last night
Drunk enough to call
That number in her phone that she would never call
Without the alcohol
But she needed an excuse
To let herself get used
And so that's why
Oh, she got drunk last night

Yeah she needed an excuse
To let herself get used
And so that's why
She got drunk last night
She got drunk last night

"She Thinks His Name Was John"

"She Thinks His Name Was John"



She can account for all of the men in her past
Where they are now, who they married, how many kids they have
She knew their backgrounds, family and friends
A few she even talks to now and then

But there is one she can't put her fingers on
There is one who never leaves her thoughts
And she thinks his name was John

A chance meeting, a party a few years back
Broad shoulders and blue eyes, his hair was so black
He was a friend of friend you could say
She let his smile just sweep her away
And in her heart she knew that it was wrong
But too much wine and she left his bed at dawn
And she thinks his name was John

Now each day is one day that's left in her life
She won't know love, have a marriage or sing lullabies
She lays all alone and cries herself to sleep
'Cause she let a stranger kill her hopes and her dreams

And all her friends say what a pity what a loss
And in the end when she was barely hangin' on
All she could say is she thinks his name was John
She thinks his name was John

"She Wasn't Good Enough For Him"

"She Wasn't Good Enough For Him"



She was good at late night listening
When he'd call her on the phone
She was good to come and get him
When he couldn't make it home
She was good to make love to
And they did now and then
She was good to never ask
When he'd be back again

She wasn't good enough for him
For his family or his friends
He kept her out there on a limb
Wouldn't let her go, wouldn't let her in
She wasn't good enough for him

She was there on his bad days
And for years he led her on
We all knew she had a bad case
He was doing her all wrong
She couldn't bring herself to do the right thing
Break it off and say goodbye
'Til she overheard him one night tellin'
Somebody on the side that

She wasn't good enough for him
For his family or his friends
He kept her out there on a limb
Wouldn't let her go, wouldn't let her in
She wasn't good enough for him

She was good at late night listening
When he'd call her on the phone
