This Is A Love Song... For The Loveless

You'’re not who you used to be, or at least not to me.
A ghost on a movie screen is what you seem.
Now you’'re the one to let the sun fall down
like a stone in a river.
You steal the blood inside of me. I can'’t bleed.

This is a lovesong for the loveless and the hopeless.
You can be certain that I'’m with you when I sing.
This is a lovesong for the desperate and the lonely.
You could have nothing but you’'ll still have me.

Gone like the sound of your voice or a passing minute.
Blown like your hair in the breeze.
You are the one to let our star fall down like a stone in a river.
You stole the life inside of me. I can’'t breathe.

This is a lovesong for the loveless and the hopeless.
You can be certain that I’'m with you when I sing.
This is a lovesong for the desperate and the lonely.
You could have nothing but you'’ll still have me.

There'’s a part of me that dies when you turn away your eyes.
I’'m alive but not inside.
And you know all I wanted was your love,
but you left me high and dry.
You’'re the part of me that died my darling.

Now that I’'m dead to you dear,
you can slip those bullets back in your lips where they seethe.
You were the one to gun our love straight down
like a stone in a river.
You shot your favorite enemy.
Watch me bleed.

This is a lovesong for the loveless and the hopeless.
You can be certain that I’'m with you when I sing.
This is a lovesong for the desperate and the lonely.
You could have nothing but you’'ll still have me.



We Make The Road By Walking

Don’t hold back. You gotta’ believe. You got it. You got it. You need it.
Don’t be afraid of anything. You got it. You got it. Believe it.
Come on now. Don’t say, “Maybe.” Hold your breath. You got it. You need it.
Hold on tight now for the ride of your life. You gotta’ believe it.
Words hurt. Truth heals. Sometimes both kill.

We can wish that everything was easy, counting all the ways that life’s not fair.
Or say, “I’m not going down that easy. I’m not gonna’ fall cause you’re not here.”

Don’t lose touch. You gotta’ believe. You got it. You got it. You need it.
Don’t forget the way it feels. You got it. You got it. Believe it.
Come on now. Don’t say, “Sorry.” Hold your ground. You got it. You need it.
Hold your head up for the time of your life. You gotta’ believe it.
Words hurt. Truth heals. Sometimes both kill.

We can wish that everything was easy, counting all the ways that life’s not fair.
Or say, “I’m not going down that easy. I’m not gonna’ fall cause you’re not here.”
(Don’t look back and don’t be afraid. You got it. You got it. You need it).

We have seen it all. We’ve been through it all together.
We’ve been through the fire, and you gain your strength from me.
We have seen it fall. We painted the town red together.
We’re still standing tall as I gain my strength from you.

There’s beauty everywhere. There’s beauty everywhere.

We can wish that everything was easy, counting all the ways that life’s not fair.
(Don’t look back and don’t be afraid. You got it. You got it. You need it).
Or say, “I’m not going down that easy. I’m not gonna’ fall cause you’re not here.”
(Don’t look back and don’t be afraid. You got it. You got it. You need it).
We can wish that everything was easy, counting all the ways that life’s not fair.
(Don’t look back and don’t be afraid. You got it. You got it. You need it).
Say, “I’m not going down that easy. I’m not gonna’ fall cause you’re not here.”
(Don’t look back and don’t be afraid. You got it. You got it. You need it).



Shotgun Serenade

I know you're dying to tell me everything that you want to say, but I'm not listening.
Try to tell me everything that you want to say.
I know you're trying to force me. Feed me lies but I'm on my way. Can you taste it now?
I'm dying to watch your face when I walk away.

Here's the final bullet to put our love to death. Our days are never coming back.
I know it's you. I can forget. Bang, bang. Shoot, shoot.
There's a freight train coming to force your head in check. Our love is never coming back.
I know it's you. I can forget our love forever ending.

I know you're dying to tell me everything that you want to say, but I'm not listening.
Trying to tell me everything will be okay. Well be okay.
You're trying to warm my heart but you freeze my blood. There's ice inside my veins.
I'm only dying to watch your face when I turn away, and Ill turn away.

But you cannot separate the two things I would live or die for.
I'd kill to separate your heart from your head. That's to die for.

Here's the final bullet to put our love to death. Our days are never coming back.
I know it's you. I can forget. Bang, bang. Shoot, shoot.
There's a freight train coming to force your head in check. Our love is never coming back.
I know it's you. I can forget our love forever ending.

You're just a waste of a song. You're a simple regret.
I thought I knew who you were, but watch how fast I forget.
You wore your prettiest dress, but there's a mess in your head.
They say old habits die hard. I say they're better off dead,
cause you were bitter and cold, but still you burned me alive.
You held the match to my skin and poured the fuel on the fire.
You're not my favorite mistake. You're just a simple regret.
I though I knew who you were, but watch how fast and watch how well I forget.

It's too late to play the good guy. It's too late to play the good guy now.
It's too late to play the good guy. Goodbye.

Here's the final bullet to put our love to death.
Our days are never coming back.
I know it's you that can't forget. Bang, bang. Shoot, shoot.
There's a freight train coming to force your head in check.
Our love is never coming back.
I know it's you. I can forget our love forever ending.

There's a freight train coming to force your head in check. Our love is never coming back.



Leave Like A Ghost (Drive Away)

It's a ghost town baby,
It will drive you crazy,
When you rely on all your friends.
I see people sucked in,
There's no way to stop them,
From becoming walking dead.
You're still living,
But barely breathing,
Get out while you can.

Just drive away,
'Cause no one here will save you.
Drive away and don't look back,
You're gone.

It's a ghost town, sister,
I've seen your dreams wither,
And that's what's giving me the creeps.
Spend your whole life waiting,
In a town that's fading,
It's a never ending sleep.
You're still breathing,
Barely breathing,
Get out while you can.

Just drive away,
'Cause no one here will save you.
Drive away and don't look back.
Just drive away,
'Cause nothing here will change you
Drive away and don't look back.

Cause it's so alone here,
We drink all alone here,
Nobody feels like we feel like we do.
We're all alone here,
We'll die all alone here.
No one, yeah, nobody feels like we feel like we do.
Like we do.

Just drive away,
'Cause no one here will save.
Drive away and don't look back.
Just drive away,
'Cause no one here will save you.
Drive away and don't look back.
Just drive away,
'Cause nothing here will change you.
Drive away and don't look back.

(Drive away, drive away-ay-ay-ay) [x4]

You're still breathing,
Barely breathing,
Get out while you can.



My Heart Is A Soldier

I fight to make you stronger, to make you love your life.
I fight to show you purpose, to keep you satisfied.
I fight to make you happy. I war to win your heart.
I'd fight forever for you. I ache when we're apart.

I'm fighting for us. My heart is a soldier.
I'm killing myself. My heart is a soldier marching to die.

I fight to stay together, to bring us eye to eye.
I fight to speak your language, to keep you by my side.
I fight to make it easy. I push to give you time.
I fight our losing battle. I bleed to stay alive.

I'm fighting for us. My heart is a soldier.
I'm killing myself. My heart is a soldier marching to die.

Am I twisting everything?
It's hard to tell when all I see is temporarily between the way it should and shouldn't be.

I'm fighting for us. My heart is a soldier.
I'm killing myself. My heart is a soldier marching to die.
My heart's a soldier. My heart's a soldier.

I fall like a fighter when you give me a shot. I'll live like a lover when you're all that I've got.

I'm fighting for us. My heart is a soldier.
I'm killing myself. My heart is a soldier marching to die.



I Love You To Death (Drive Safe)

Let’s sing a song to end the world. No, I’m not kidding.
I said my prayers, or so I said, and nothing’s hidden.
Let’s sing a song for only us, cause no one else matters as much.
Let’s sing it strong, and sing it proud.
I don’t know any better sound than that.

Drown with me tonight. Forget the world the around you.
I’ll sing to you softly ‘til you drift to sleep.
This world could end tomorrow. Baby, we won’t miss it.
The world will fall apart and listen, so will we.

I sing a song, a bitter song, of my frustration.
I’ve heard your song for way too long, and nothing’s changing.
I sing this song for all of us, cause we can feel what matters most.
I sing it strong, but never proud.
I don’t need any other sound than that.

Drown with me tonight. Forget the world the around you.
I’ll sing to you softly ‘til you drift to sleep.
This world could end tomorrow. Baby, we don’t need it.
The world will fall apart and listen, so will we.

Drive safely. Drive safely. Drive safely home.

Drown with me tonight. Forget the world the around you.
I’ll sing to you softly ‘til you drift to sleep.
This world could end tomorrow. Baby, we won’t miss it.
The world could fall apart and listen, so will we.
Drown with me tonight. Forget the world around you.
I’ll sing to you softly ‘til you drift to sleep.



This Valentine Ain't No Saint

You got away with murder and all I got was the brunt.
You were swinging you words like punches. It was your shot, your shot, your shot.
At least I got away with your money, and all you got was my heart.
I’m never telling you that I’m sorry, cause it’s your fault, your fault, your fault.

But now that you’re gone everything is all right. In fact I’m better off this way.
Now that you’re dead to me it’s all right. I’ll never throw my heart away.

You like to point your finger, but girl you know it’s not that hard.
You told me that I was heartless, but that’s what you got so wrong.
At least I got away with your money, and all you got was my heart.
I’m never telling you that I’m sorry, cause it’s your fault, your fault, your fault.

I was minding my own business when you sought me out to shoot me down.

But now that you’re gone everything is all right. In fact I’m better off this way.
Now that you’re dead to me it’s all right. (Shot down again, already dead).
I’ll never throw my heart away.

I was minding my own business when you sought me out to shoot me down.
Where were you when I needed you? You just sought me out to shoot me down.
Come on and get it.

Murder.

But now that you’re gone everything is all right. In fact I’m better off this way.
Now that you’re dead to me it’s all right. (Shot down again, already dead).
I never throw my heart away.

Goodbye, goodbye Valentine…
That’s what you want. That’s what you’ll get.



10,000 Questions

You left without a sound
10,000 questions to the answers I never found
You're not around (You're not around)
And I'm left to chase 10,000 answers for yesterday

Like how could I be so moved
in the background waiting for you

What do we have? What do we have?
What do we have if we don't have each other? (2x)

You left me here to count
10,000 questions to the answers I rather drown
Now I dance alone (I dance alone), on the floor you make (on the floor you make)
of 10,000 answers that never came

Like why am I left to pretend
I'm trapped in a past I forgive

What do we have? What do we have?
What do we have if we don't have each other? (2x)

Yeah yeah yeah yeah..

What good is dreaming, when I can't even sleep here?
What good is lying down when there's no one to hold?
What good is letting go with something that won't let me?
What good is saying goodbye, now that you're gone...now that you're gone?

What do we have? What do we have?
What do we have if we don't have each other? (4x)



The Final Song

It's almost laughable how life tends to spin us out, after beating us down like it did before.
It's almost laughable how it rains and pours again, as we stand here soaking it all in.
Well if this is how life is, I won't back down from this: anymore.

Don't hang me out to dry; I'm not all right.
But I'm not stopping now. (I'm not stopping now.)
Don't turn the music down; it's not all right, but you can't stop me now.
And this is how life is.

It's kind of laughable how life tends to spin us out, after beating us down like it did before.
It's finally laughable how it rains and it pours again, I'll just stand here soaking it all in.
Well if this is how life is, I won't back down from this: anymore.

Don't hang me out to dry; I'm not all right.
but I'm not stopping now. (I'm not stopping now.)
Don't turn the music down, it's not all right, but you can't stop me now.
And this is how life is.

No one's gonna break me down, if I can get away with it.
No one's gonna count me out, if I can have my way with this.
No one's gonna tell me how I should be afraid of this, afraid of this.

So don't hang me out to dry, I'm not all right.
But I'm not stopping now. (I'm not stopping now.)
Don't turn the music down, it's not all right, but you can't stop me now.
Don't hang me out to dry, I'm not all right, but I'm not stopping now.
Don't turn the music down, it's not all right, but you can't stop me now.
And this is how life is.



French Kiss Off

Baby's got a new best friend.
He always seems to understand,
and he knows just how to make her laugh.
He's rich and white and full of influence.
Baby's never felt so fine. She's wading in the well of life.

I wonder does she ever look back
and still remember when things were so much better?
Kiss baby bye forever now.

Baby never calls me now.
She don't need a past to dream about,
living life the way the stars abound.
And who am I to tell her "Pull them down?"
Baby doesn't need a drink.
Lord knows she never stops to think.

I wonder does she ever look back
and still remember when things were so much better?
Kiss baby bye forever now.

C-o-c-a-i-n-e.
When she comes down it's like she never sleeps.
And who needs food with all her sugar treats?
'Cause when she's high she never thinks of me.

I wonder does she ever look back and remember?
Things were so much better. Baby's gone forever now.

I wonder does she ever look back
and still remember when things were so much better?
Kiss baby bye forever now.

Bye forever.
Bye forever.
Bye forever now.
