Better
Ready For You
Up And Gone
Too Little Too Late
Hello Again
To Be With You
Give It Back

Crawling In Dark

I will dedicate
And sacrifice my everything for just a second's worth
Of how my story's ending
And I wish I could know if the directions that I take
And all the choices that I make won't end up all for nothing
Show me what it's for
Make me understand it
I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer
Is there something more than what i've been handed?
I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer
Help me carry on
Assure me it's ok to use my heart and not my eyes
To navigate the darkness
Will the ending be ever coming suddenly?
Will I ever get to see the ending to my story?
Show me what it's for
Make me understand it
I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer
Is there something more than what i've been handed?
I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer
So when and how will I know?
How much further do I have to go?
How much longer until I finally know?
Because I'm looking and I just can't see what's in front of me
In front of me
Show me what it's for
Make me understand it
I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer
Is there something more than what i've been handed?
I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer

Remember Me

I stand here face to face
With someone that I used to know
Who used to look at me and laugh
But now he claims
That he's known me for so very long
But I remember being no one

I wanted to be just like you
So perfect, so untouchable
Now you want me to be with you
Someone who used to have it all
Do you remember now?
You acted liked you never noticed me
Forget it!
Cause the gone has come around
You're not allowed to be a part of me

Did you know me?
Or where you too preoccupied with
Playing king in your small kingdom
And now the real world
Has stripped you of your royalty
And from your kingdom your evicted

You're never going to be a part of me
You're never going to be a part of me
You're never going to be a part of me
You're never going to be a part of me
You're never going to be a part of me
You're never going to be a part of me

Do you remember now?
You acted liked you never noticed me
Forget it!
Cause the gone has come around
You're not allowed to be a part of me
Part of me, part of me, part of me

Running Away

I don't want you
To give it all up
And leave your own life collecting dust
And I don't want you to feel sorry for me
You never gave us a chance to be

And I don't need you
To be by my side
To tell me that everything's alright
I just wanted you
To tell me the truth
You know I'd do that for you

So why are you running away?
Why are you running away?

I did enough
To show you that I
Was willing to give and sacrifice
And I was the one who was lifting you up
When you thought your life had, had enough
And when I get close
You turn away
There's nothing that I can do or say
So now I need you
To tell me the truth
You know I'd do that for you

So why are you running away?
Why are you running away?

Is it me? Is it you?
Nothing that
I can do
To make you change your mind

(why you)
Is it me? Is it you?
Nothing that
I can do
Is it a waste of time?

Is it me? Is it you?
Nothing that
I can do
To make you change your mind

So why are you running away?
Why are you running away?
(What is it I have to say?)
So why are you running away?
(To make you admit you're afraid)
Why are you running away?

Pieces

Turn around and pick up the pieces.

I, like a rock, sink
Sinking 'til I hit the bottom
The water is much deeper than I thought
Nothing to swim with
Kicking but I keep sinking
A lesson that no one could have ever taught

'Cause I can almost breathe the air
Right beyond my finger tips
I'll turn around and pick up the pieces
One more push and I'll be there
Right where I belong
I'll turn around and pick up the pieces

I see the picture
Blurry but now it's in focus
A fairy tale I purchased on my own
I finally woke up
Everything is better
A chance for me to open up and grow

Turn around and pick up the pieces(x3)

Suffocating, sinking further almost everyday
(Turn around and pick up the pieces)
Barely treading water knowing
I will not give up,
I will not give up...

Let You Know

I just thought that I'd let you know
that although I'm far
I'm close to you within
and all the time spent by your side
is taken deep in me
held for me to keep
to look upon when I'm feeling like
everything and one
is hurting me for something or other
it takes me to a better place
where I'd rather go
thought I'd let you know

Who you are
What you do
Makes me burn to be in you
(be in you)
Who you are
And what you do
I'm burning to be in you

I just thought that I'd let you know
Being near you is
A gift I only wish I could treasure
But for now I'll sit and wait
I'm still burning though
Thought I'd let you know

Who you are
What you do
Makes me burn to be in you
(be in you)
Who you are
What you do
I'm burning to be in you

Thought I'd let you know

It Feels like I'm falling
I'm all on my own
Thought I'd let you know
It feels like I'm falling
I'm all on my own
Thought I'd let you know

Who you are
What you do
Makes me burn to be in you
(be in you)
Who you are
What you do
I'm burning to be in you

Better

Just when i thought that I was better
I realized that I don't know what better was
Is it better than I used to be?
Better for you or for me?
I'd Better hurry cause I need a better view of things

I don't know what it is or
What doi think im doin'

Don't know were I've been
Don't know where to go
Can't remember all the things that I need to know
All I know is that
If I think about it
I'd still rather be me than me be you

And I'm not getting any better
Cause everytime I can't remember what its for
Is it better now than yesterday?
Better than I am this way?
Better not be so afraid
I bet I shouldn't say

Cause I don't know, what it is or
What do I think I'm doin

Don't know where I've been
Don't know where to go
Can't remember all the things that I need to know
All I know is that
If I think about it
I'd still rather be me than me be
I'd still rather be me than me be you

Cause I don't know, what it is or
What do I think im doin
No, I don't know, what it is or
What do I think im doin

Ready For You

Go on, make me feel it's useless.
When in fact it's you that needs to have me near.
So now keep me at safe distance
and with a little persistance I'll make it crystal clear.

Chorus:
I'll be around only if you want me to be there by your side.
I'm ready for you.
So don't be afraid 'cause I know what you're going through.
So when you think it's time
I'm ready for you.

Now you seem to be content with a one sided friendship
with you I've got to chase.
Slow down so I can smell the roses
but the road you chose is crooked and unpaved.
my tires are spinning but to no avail.

Chorus

Bridge

Chorus x2

Up And Gone

Staring at the white above
Can't tell if I'm alive or am I dead
Or is it in my head?

Where'd I go wrong

Staring at the white above
One day I closed my eyes and here I am
A cold, unhappy man
I've come to realize the life I have I hate
The pulse I need is slowly fading
Until I've lost it all
I've been waiting for an inspiration
For a chance I never got to take
Before it's much too late

Where'd I go wrong

Where's the boy that used to run?
Could it be he's up and gone away?
He seems so far away
And all the things I could have done
Could it be they've up and gone away?
They seem so far away

It feels as if the boy in me
Has left and been replaced with a cheap and bitter
Imposter of myself
I must find the one that used to be
Approach him slow, don't be afraid to say
"Can he come out and play?"

Where'd I go wrong

Staring at the sky above
I've found a chance I'm finally going to take
I've learned from my mistakes

Where'd I go wrong

Too Little Too Late

I've been so long in waiting.
Putting my life on hold for this chance to live out my dreams.
You think you know what I should do
with the choices that I now have.
Make them benefit you.

What if I don't want to hear the things you say?
Where were you when I was needy yesterday?
You want in with me
now that it's good
but its too little too late

Time and again I've asked you, just for some light to show the way.
I was in total darkness.
You act like I owe you something.
But I don't owe anything to anyone but me.
Have you no dignity?

What if I don't want to hear the things you say?
Where were you when I was needy yesterday?
You want in with me
now that it's good
where were you yesterday?
What if I don't want to hear the things you say?
Where were you when I was needy yesterday?
You want in with me
now that it's good
But it's too little too late
Your too late

I know exactly what I'll do with the advice that you gave.
Watch me throw it all away.

Hello Again

VERSE 1:
I dream
that someday we'll be able to look back
on this to-gether and say
It was for the best and that it
made us stronger to-day
stronger today

CHORUS:
There's much more for us to see
a brand new day for you and me
and with confidence I say
"we're better than ever"
and i don't know where this will lead
but in my life you need to be,
cuz i need to say "hello again"

VERSE 2:
i'm so
afraid that if I wait too long
you'll never look
in my eyes again
with a look
that gave me strength and gave me hope
and made me feel
I've inspired

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE: Hello again,
hello again,
yea,
hello agaaa...yeaaa!

REPEAT CHORUS X2

To Be With You

Make me feel again
slide across my skin again
let me uncover you to rediscover you
and I will open up if you promise to give in
on this perfect night
let the two of us be one.....

We will be again another time
no matter what all the others say
cuz i would leave it all so far behind
just to be with you today....

So make me feel again
feel your every breath again
nevermind everyone
there's only me and you....

We will be again another time
no matter what all the others say
cuz I would leave it all so far behind
just to be with you today....

so we will be again another time
and I will do all I need to do
to leave the others
all so far behind
just so I can be, just so I can be...

with you......
with you......
with you......
with you......

Give It Back

We've shared our lives and all of what we know.
But now it seems you don't know me
from the guy next door or the next or the next...

Chorus:
Give it back
you need to give it back.
'Cause loyalty is something that you lack.

I let you in and showed you all of me.
You took it all then trashed the place.
And I'm so sick of cleaning it up...

Chorus

Post chorus:
Give it back
My time and devotion.
Give it back
The love that I gave.

No more making it up to you
I don't think that you're ever going to do it. (x6)

Chorus

Post Chorus

No more making it up to you
I don't think that you're ever going to do it...
