Alright 03:58
How can you know somebody When everyone's playing those games? Selling you the face of somebody And giving you a stranger's name I know it's hard to wear your life on your sleeve But let go and try to believe that... It's alright To bring it down I'm gonna shine some light It's your time to feel it now This is where wrong turns right Where did we get the idea To doctor up the tale we tell? Trying to pretend the idea Will put us in a world of wealth I know it's hard to trust that you are enough But letting go is not giving up 'cause... It's alright To bring it down I'm gonna shine some light It's your time to feel it now This is where wrong turns right Couldn't we be so much better Than dueling lies? Nothing brings our lives together Like honest eyes and sparing words It's alright To bring it down I'm gonna shine some light It's your time to feel it now This is where wrong turns right

We Are Why 03:43
Headway through changes More answers still left to know They're calling our name Last year weighs heavy Seems there's a long way to go For you and me Don't you stop now There's a ­­­­­love coming down It brings us closer every try You and I We are why Scared of forever Distraction keeps moving on It's pulling at her Lost in confusion Words keep us busy till we're gone And nothing done Bring your heart back There's a love we can match It brings us closer every try You and I We are why Don't you stop now There's a ­­­­­love coming down It brings us closer every try You and I We are why

I need to know she's here Beyond the broken years flying by This lonely man If I believe in trust Is it enough for love to believe In who I am? I look for faith in an empty room Let me find you 'Cause I need her hand To make this dream breathe again Bring love alive Bring her tonight I'm on my knees Keep love alive Keep her in sight I'm on my knees I've gotta hold some ground Or I will surely drown in the wake Of falling tears If I can turn from doubt Maybe I'll hear the sound of her voice Erasing fears I look for hope in a rhyme of words Let me find her 'Cause I need her hand To make this dream breathe again Bring love alive Bring her tonight I'm on my knees Keep love alive Keep her in sight I'm on my knees A soothing smile A brush of skin A whispered why Lets a spark back in To kindle the fire again And bring love alive Bring love alive Bring her tonight I'm on my knees Keep love alive Keep her in sight I'm on my knees

Losing You 03:57
I made a mistake By losing you I close my eyes And see the truth I played in your game To be with you Dried my eyes And dared to choose I walked outside And dared to lose But losing you Is the way back to me And knowing who I'll be 'Cause losing you Is the way to truly be The man who you need You'll see I made a mistake Believing you It took some time To break in two I thought I was safe In trusting you Opened my eyes Lies came through With no disguise I saw you But losing you Is the way back to me And knowing who I'll be 'Cause losing you Is the way to truly be The man who you need You'll see That love can be A chance to lose your fear And give into the here and now But losing you Is the way back to me And knowing who I'll be 'Cause losing you Is the way to truly be The man who you need You'll see

Angel Moon 04:03
When the sun decides to hide I begin to wonder where you are Such a sweet and tender light Drawing my attention from the start That's you, pulling on my heart again If I could wake up in your arms I would find a home inside your eyes Lose the taste for falling stars Say goodbye to dark and cloudy skies That's you, pulling on my heart again That's you, telling me to try again Angel Moon You spin me 'round Passing by just out of reach I can't help trying To stop the world and bring you down to me A simple dream to love you, Angel Moon I know I have to brave the days To earn the time I spend in your view A patient passion for your face Giving me a lonely year or two That's you, pulling on my heart again When I have mended all the cracks Maybe it will stay a clear night Till then I'll give all I have Just to catch a whisper of your light That's you, pulling on my heart again That's you, telling me to love again Angel Moon You spin me 'round Passing by just out of reach I can't help trying to stop the world And bring you down to me A simple dream to love you, Angel Moon

Hold Out 03:38
You give me up and run When what you fear has won No time to trust anyone I see what's coming now The heavy load crashing down It's not our first time around Must be this You're scared of moving on Without a certainty of bliss Doubt is strong If we can hold out For more than surrender Then we can hold on To right now, forever Don't let go Just listen to the silence Hear we know, again You know me now and yet Deny the truth instead Of finding love you can mend I feel you breathing out Impending breakdown If giving in carries on It's still the same You're scared of moving on With all the suffering and pain Doubt is strong If we can hold out For more than surrender Then we can hold on To right now, forever Don't let go Just listen to the silence Hear we know, again Must be this You're scared of moving on Without a certainty of bliss Doubt is strong If we can hold out For more than surrender Then we can hold on To right now, forever Don't let go Just listen to the silence Hear we know, again

Behave 04:53
Why don't I take my time And get to know her? My younger years don't lie Too fast, you get hurt Why do they always feel so right Then go wrong? Maybe this time I'll leave the brakes on Behave Just hold your tongue now Don't let love slip out Behave You're worth the time now To figure love out Behave There's room in life for here and now I'm gonna find that place Between love and lonely Where I can stay the same But travel slowly Why do I always give so much For love gone? Maybe this time I'll leave the brakes on Behave Just hold your tongue now Don't let love slip out Behave You're worth the time now To figure love out Behave There's room in life for here and now Why do I always give so much For love gone? Maybe this time I'll leave the brakes on Behave Just hold your tongue now Don't let love slip out Behave She's worth the time now To figure love out Behave There's room in life for here and now

I lift you up You put me down I gave you trust But you didn't know how I took your hand You let me go I changed my plans But you'll never know Giving me that look Trying to push, push all the time All those things you took Still you push, push over the line on me but... I don't want it I don't want what you need No, I don't want it I don't want it for me You know that I don't want it I don't want what you see Save your dream for someone else I don't want you living for me You send me pain I make it mine You want my name I still wonder why You find my flaws I make it right You say I'm wrong I start to question this fight Giving me that look Trying to push, push all the time All those things you took Still you push, push over the line on me but... I don't want it I don't want what you need No, I don't want it I don't want it for me You know that I don't want it I don't want what you see Save your dream for someone else I don't want you living for me I could have loved you if you'd only let me be myself Instead you broke me down and cried when I wouldn't help I thought I heard that love can heal it if you just make time But the signs of fading love means it's time to say goodbye You know that I don't want it I don't want what you need No, I don't want it I don't want it for me You know that I don't want it I don't want what you see Save your dream for someone else I don't want you living for me

Heart 04:31
She had me spinning And fighting for air A losing battle And no time to spare There's no right answer when you Have her past to bear I couldn't do it The fight was too hard My mind was breaking And I fell apart It's second guessing that'll question Who you are And who are you When no matter what you do It's pain you choose? My heart has a lot to do Before I fall into My heart's gonna have to wait Before a love can stay The fog is clearing I'm feeling the light The sign's in focus So I start to drive Yeah it's a long one but a Road I have to try I'm finding pieces And showing them how I go together like a puzzle now Too many heartaches and you Take to breaking down My heart has a lot to do Before I fall into My heart's gonna have to wait Before a love can stay I'd have sent you a message But I couldn't find your number To tell you that you'd lost your way It's the wrong ones that lead us To a better feel for home But a heart has gotta heal right Before new love can stay My heart has a lot to do Before I fall into My heart's gonna have to wait Before a love can stay
10.
I went and I broke my love today Opened my hand and dropped away I wish that I knew which way was real And which way wouldn't let me heal It figures I'd walk this road again It's part of the lonely man I am Waiting for traffic lights to change And bring this love home today A foolish rhyme to say But half of why I sing this way It's the same situation That's teaching me how to fall I need a new revelation To keep me going through it all I thought that I gave up feeling down Closed up shop and left this town It's funny how a girl can pull the strings And send me back to giving in One of these days the game will end And I will be holding on instead Till then I can only open doors And hope that love can show me more Than where I've been before And why I should believe anymore It's the same situation That's teaching me how to fall I need a new revelation To keep me going through it all It's the same complication That's showing what I haven't learned I need a new resolution To keep my love from getting burned again Don't take for granted These chances to try Sometimes our weakness Is what keeps us alive Tear off your armor Let your heart take its place And love today It's the same situation That's teaching me how to fall I need a new revelation To keep me going through it all It's the same complication That's showing what I haven't learned I need a new resolution To keep my love from getting burned again

We play Tempting fate Without wearing other shoes Selfish stays But in time You and I Will have fixing up to do And eyes to dry We can see The signs are there But nobody wants to read We can feel The wind will change Forget how you want it to be One day blinded minds will break Who's gonna save you? When the sky takes to falling And nobody's left but you Who's gonna save you? When the truth is calling And there's nothing left to do Who's gonna save you? We try Try to hide From those hurtful blows we deal And act surprised But you can't Fool a man Who's been beaten down and still Takes a stand We can feel The wounds are there But nobody wants to bleed We can see The path we make Forget how you want it to be One day hollow choices break Who's gonna save you? When the sky takes to falling And nobody's left but you Who's gonna save you? When the truth is calling And there's nothing left to do Who's gonna save you? We've only got ourselves When things are at their worst No one else will help When they're the ones you hurt Deep down you know Who's gonna save you? When the sky takes to falling And nobody's left but you Who's gonna save you? When the truth is calling And there's nothing left to do Who's gonna save you?
