Right Where I Belong
Theres a difference in spending time with me
and killing time while im there
on too many people and too many things
and it makes me feel like hell
You're half gone as I can see
and all of this she says to me
[Chorus]
Theres too many questions
and too many strings
and they won't keep their self tied
On a roller coaster ride
It feels like I'm lying next to a ghost at night
I dont know why I gave you my heart
'cause sometimes it feels so wrong
But in spite of all this weather
I know why we are together
and I swear right now
I'm right where I belong
I know I get a little bit crazy
but I've never done you no wrong
I get distracted and carried away
and it's been this way too long
I dont know what you need from me
'cause all I know is what I can see
[Chorus]
Theres too many questions
and too many strings
and they won't keep their self tied
On a roller coaster ride
It feels like I'm lying next to a ghost at night
I dont know why I gave you my heart
'cause sometimes it feels so wrong
In spite of all this weather
I know why we are together
and I swear right now
I'm right where I belong
Im right where I belong
Go on, Play it for me Son
[Chorus]
Theres too many questions
and too many strings
and they won't keep their self tied
On a roller coaster ride
It feels like I'm lying next to a ghost at night
I dont know why I gave you my heart
'cause sometimes it feels so wrong
In spite of all this weather
I know why we are together
and I swear right now
I'm right where I belong
I'm right where I belong
It's Not Me
Nevermind the face you put on
In front of me
Nevermind the pain
That you've put me ..through
And every little thing you say
And every little thing you do
Makes me doubt all of this
Chorus:
Look what you did
Is this who you wanted me to be?
Well it's not me
Look what you did
Is this how you wanted this to be?
This life you gave away
Was meant for me
Nevermind the trip that you've been on
Or so it seems
Nevermind the lies you told, not truths
And every little thing you said
And every little thing you did
Made me doubt all of this
Chorus:
Look what you did
Is this who you wanted me to be?
Well it's not me
Look what you did
Is this how you wanted this to be?
This life you gave away
Was meant for me
Look what you did
Is this who you wanted me to be?
Well it's not me
Look what you did
Is this how you wanted this to be?
This life you gave away
Was meant for me
Yeahhhhhh
Oh was meant for me, yeah hey yeah hey
Oh No Oh
Let Me Go
One more kiss could be the best thing
Or one more lie could be the worst
And all these thoughts are never resting
And you're not something I deserve
In my head there's only you now
This world falls on me
In this world there's real and make believe
And this seems real to me
CHORUS
And you love me but you don't know who I am
I'm torn between this life I lead and where I stand
And you love me but you don't know who I am
So let me go, let me go
I dream ahead to what I hope for
And I turn my back on lovin' you
How can this love be a good thing
And I know what I'm going through
In my head there's only you now
This world falls on me
In this world there's real and make believe
And this seems real to me
CHORUS
And you love me but you don't know who I am
I'm torn between this life I lead and where I stand
And you love me but you don't know who I am
So let me go, just let me go, let me go
BRIDGE
And no matter how hard I try
I can't escape these things inside
I know, I know
But all the pieces fall apart
You will be the only one who knows, who knows
CHORUS
You love me but you don't know who I am
I'm torn between this life I lead and where I stand
And you love me but you don't know who I am
So let me go, just let me go
(you don't know)
You love me but you don't
You love me but you don't
(you don't know)
You love me but you don't know who I am
(you don't know)
You love me but you don't
You love me but you don't
(you don't know)
You love me but you don't know me
Be Somebody
The shades gone up
Mothers staring down
She don't know where he's been
Or how long he's been out
She said 'Boy I'm tired of waiting up while your out with your friends'
He said 'Mom im tired and im living my life the best way that I can'
Cause I'm trying to be somebody
I'm not trying to be somebody else
This life is mine I'm living
Don't you know me? I wont ever let you down
The day has come
The sun is moving on
She don't know where he'll go
Or when he's coming home
She said 'Son take care, don't let your dreams get too far out of sight'
He said 'I love you now, don't worry about me you know I'll be fine'
Cause I'm trying to be somebody
I'm not trying to be somebody else
This life is mine I'm living
Don't you know me? I wont ever let you down
No
I'm not trying to be somebody else
Don't you know me? I wont ever let you
I wont ever let you
What they say
What they know
What they think wont ever bring me down
This life is mine and I am my own
I'm trying to be somebody
I'm not trying to be somebody else
This life is mine I lead
Don't you know me?
I'm trying to be somebody
I'm not trying to be somebody else
This life is mine I'm living
Don't you know me? I wont ever let you down
Yeahhh
I'm not trying to be somebody else
Don't you know me? I wont ever let you down
I wont be nobody else
This life is mine and I am my own
Landing In London
I woke up today in London
As the plane was touching down
And all I could think about was Monday
Maybe I'd be back around
If this keeps me away much longer
I don't know what I would do
You've got to understand it's a hard life,
that I'm going through
And when the night falls in around me
And I don't think I'll make it through
I'll use your light to guide the way
'Cause all I think about is you
L.A. is getting kind of crazy
And New York is getting kind of cold
I keep my head from getting lazy
I just can't wait to get back home
And all these days I spend away
I'll make up for this I swear
I need your love to hold me up
When it's all to much to bear
And when the night falls in around me
And I don't think I'll make it through
I'll use your light to guide the way
'Cause all I think about is you
And all these days I spend away
I'll make up for this I swear
I need your love to hold me up
When it's all to much to bear
And when the night falls in around me
And I don't think I'll make it through
I'll use your light to guide the way
All I think about is you
The Real Life
I wanted to find somewhere to hide
And i opened up and left those fears inside
And i wanted to be in near on this
Only to find that there was noone there but me
But i woke up to real life
And i realised its not worth running from anymore
When there was nowhere left to hide i found out
That nothings real here but i wont stop now until i find a
Better part of me
I let those hard days get me down
And all the things i hate got in my way
I could of screamed without a sound
I found myself silenced by those things they say
But i woke up to real life
And i realised its not worth running from anymore
When there was nowhere left to hide i found out
That nothings real here but i wont stop now until i find a
Better part of me
Thats out there somewhere
And it cant be that far away
Thats where ill find myself
And ill find my way out
Thats where ill find out
But i woke up to real life
And i realised its not worth running from anymore
When there was nowhere left to hide i found out
That nothings real here but i wont stop now until i find a
Better part of me
Behind Those Eyes
Ohh yeah
Ohh yeah
You said I had something to say
Then you got that look in your eye
There is something youve got to know
You said it as you started to cry
Ive been down the wrong road tonight
And I swear I'll never go there again
Ive seen this face once before
And I dont think I can do this again
Theres something I cant see
Something different in the way you smile
Behind those eyes you lie
And theres nothing I can say
Cause im never gonna change your mind
Behind those eyes you hide
As you turned to walk away
I saw another look in your eye
And even though it hurt like it did
I couldnt let the spirit by?
You say that your sorry
And you say that it hurts you the same
Is there something here to believe
Or is it just another part of the game?
Theres something I cant see
Something different in the way you smile
Behind those eyes you lie
And theres nothing I can say
Cause im never gonna change your mind
Behind those eyes you hide
Ohh yeah
Ooooooo
Ohh woah
Behind those eyes you lie
Behind those eyes you hide
Theres something I cant see
Something different in the way you smile
Behind those eyes you lie
And theres nothing I can say
Cause im never gonna change your mind
Behind those eyes you hide
Theres nothing I can say
Thats ever gonna change your mind
Behind those eyes you hide
Behind those eyes you lie
Never Will I Break
Lay me down
Wash this blood off my hands for me while I cry out
Don't let me die before I go to sleep
And I can't keep going
But I cannot start again
This road I walk is paved with broken promises I've made
At least a million times I've fallen
But never will I break
These walls I make
They could hold me in and hold me back today
Oh but tomorrow's new and I'll walk right out and walk right over you
If you hear me screaming
Please don't let me fall again
This road I walk is paved with broken promises I've made
At least a million times I've fallen
But never will I break
My time is on its way
I'll fall but I won't break
This road I walk is paved with broken promises I've made
At least a million times I've fallen
But never will I break
This road I walk is paved with broken promises I've made
At least a million times I've fallen
But never will I break
Father's Son
In the glare of a neon sign
She laid her body down
The damned walked in beside her
And laid his money down
He said don't try to scream now
But I want this one to hurt
And tonight my pretty one
I'm gonna get my money's worth
And he said they’d never listen,
she said they’d never understand
That I don't do this for pleasure,
I just do it cuz I can
I swear I didn't want to,
and I swear I didn't know
That things like this could happen, to a 17-year old
[Chorus]
And I've bundled up all these fears inside
And I've bottled up all of this pain
And no one or nothing can take this away
But I won't let it happen again
Never again
In the haze of a smoky room
He chokes that bottle down It's been a month since he saw her face
Underneath the blood stained gown
He thinks about that little girl
And the one he has at home
And wonders what if that was my little girl
Walking down that road alone
[Chorus]
Maybe I'm just crazy or the devil got inside
But either way my soul is gone,
And I'll end this all tonight
The one hand throws the whiskey,
and the other throws the gun
As he cries out to the heavens
I am not my father's son
[Chorus]
Live For Today
Show me the road and I will find my own
And you build the bridges and I'll burn them down.
So far away and all alone I roam
I'm taking chances in the here and now.
And all you wonder is who's for sale
But you won't know now and I won't tell.
You're always hiding, throwing up your hands
While heroes ride again
[chorus]
God only knows all the places I've been
But I love this life that I'm living in and
I won't look back to regret yesterday.
When I hand in tomorrow
So I'll live for today.
Another day and yet another's done,
Spending the life living within the past.
I'll take the chance before the chance has gone.
you never know when it will be your last
We'll never know it When we run out of time
Until it's all over with
And there'll be nowhere to run.
We'll never say it but we're over our heads
And we're drowning inside
All of these things we've said.
My World
Your stuck on a chain
And your toeing a lie
Seems like every time that you catch up
You only fall behind
And your trapped inside this world you made yourself
but that's not the world I live in
this is not the life for me
cause my world is bigger than your problems
and it's bigger than me
that's not the world I live in
this is not the life for me
cause my world is bigger than your problems
and it's bigger than me
There is always someone to blame
for the things you do yourself
you think that everything that's going wrong
is because of someone else
And your trapped inside this world you made yourself
that's not the world I live in
this is not the life for me
cause my world is bigger than your problems
and it's bigger than me
it's not the world I live in
this is not the life for me
cause my world is bigger than your problems
and it's bigger than me [2x]
cause I'm lonely outside and I'll look on in
And that's not the world I live in
this is not the life for me
cause my world is bigger than your problems
and it's bigger than me
it's not the world I live in
this is not the life for me
cause my world is bigger than your problems
and it's bigger than me
cause my world is bigger than your problems
and it's bigger than me...
Here By Me
I hope you’re doing fine out there without me
‘Cause I’m not doing so good without you
The things I thought you’d never know about me
Were the things I guess you always understood
So how could I have been so blind for all these years?
Guess I only see the truth through all this fear,
And living without you…
And everything I had in this world
And all that I’ll ever be
It could all fall down around me.
Just as long as I have you,
Right here by me.
I can’t take another day without you
‘Cause baby, I could never make it on my own
I’ve been waiting so long, just to hold you
And to be back in your arms where I belong
Sorry I can’t always find the words to say
But everything I’ve ever known gets swept away
Inside of your love…
And everything I had in this world
And all that I’ll ever be
It could all fall down around me.
Just as long as I have you,
Right here by me.
As the days grow long I see
That time is standing still for me
When you’re not here
Sorry I can’t always find the words to say
Everything I’ve ever known gets swept away
Inside of your love
And everything I had in this world
And all that I’ll ever be
It could all fall down around me.
Just as long as I have you,
Right here by me.
And everything I had in this world
And all that I’ll ever be
It could all fall down around me.
Just as long as I have you,
Right here by me.
