As I Am
I'm a little broken
I'm a lot confused
I'm very tired and I've got nothing to lose
All I want to know is
Can you take me as I am
You've been searching
You've tested my love
You've been pushing hard to see what I am made of
And all I want to know is
Can you take me as I am
I can't close my eyes
Without seeing your face
And I know if you left
There'd be an empty space
And my life
I gave to you
My body and my soul
And now you tell me you don't love me anymore
And you don't understand what I'm crying for
Oh but please
Don't leave me
Don't leave me
As I am
And I'm not perfect
I don't know what that means
I've been working hard
On what I thought were our dreams
I guess I gotta know this
Just to where do I stand
I can't close my eyes
Without seeing your face
And I know if you left
There'd be an empty space
And my life
I gave to you
My body and my soul
And now you tell me you don't love me anymore
And you don't understand what I'm crying for
Oh but please
Don't leave me
Don't leave me
As I am
Oh but please
Don't leave me
As I am
I'm a little broken
I'm a lot confused
I'm very tired and I've got nothing to lose
All I want to know is
Can you take me as I am

Easier
I woke up early
And I can't see the light
My back is broad but
It's been a long and lonely night
What if I'm a fool for even trying
To right the wrongs when all we
had is dying
Like moving shadows
We dance around remains
The burning embers
Illuminate my shame
So yes, I am a fool for even trying
To right the wrongs when all
we had is dying
It's easier to leave
Not to face the pain
With everything to lose
Nothing left to gain
Broken
Empty promises you made
Token
Empty gestures that you made
I am reeling, reeling
Easier to leave
So you walked away With everything to lose
There's nothing left to say
You disappoint me With a Judus kiss
Crown and anoint me
The poison pours from your lips
So yes, I am a fool for even trying
To right the wrongs when ail we had is dying
It's easier to leave
Not to face the pain
With everything to lose
Nothing left to gain
Broken
Empty promises you made
Token
Empty gestures that you made
I am reeling, reeling
Easier to leave
So you walked away With everything to lose
There's nothing left to say
Broken
Empty Promises you gave
Token
Empty gestures that yov made
Unspoken
did you ever mean to stay
I am reeling, reeling
I am reeling
I am betrayed

Leave Me Alone
(ian hunter)
I love your sulky eyes,
I love your raven hair.
I often fantasize
A beautiful affair,
A broken paradise
cause you dont even care.
I love your sultry smile,
I love to see you dance.
Sometimes it drives me wild
To know Ive got no chance.
Your boyfriend doesnt see
Youre flirting, teasing me.
Why dont you leave me alone,
Leave me alone?
Wont you leave me alone,
Leave me alone.
Sometimes Ill act ok,
Sometimes Ill try and hide.
But when you look at me,
I fall apart inside.
Across a broken sea
You took me for a ride.
Why dont you leave me alone,
Leave me alone?
Wont you leave me alone,
Leave me alone.
Other lovers go home
And Im left here alone
With my heart in my hand.
I just cant understand
Why you treat me this way.
I just got to say.
Why dont you leave me alone,
Leave me alone?
Wont you leave me alone,
Leave me alone.
Why dont you leave me alone,
Leave me alone?
Wont you leave me alone,
Leave me alone.
(oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
Why dont you leave me,
Leave me alone, oh)

All Cried Out
[Allure]
All alone on a Sunday morning
Outside I see the rain is falling
Inside I'm slowly dying
But the rain will hide my crying, crying, crying
And you
Don't you know my tears will burn the pillow
Set this place on fire
'Cause I'm tired of your lie
All I needed was a simple "Hello"
But the traffic was so noisy that you could not hear me cry
(I) I gave you my love in vain
My body never knew such pleasure,
My heart never knew such pain
(And you) You leave me so confused
Now I'm all cried out, over you.
[112]
Cryin' over you, yeah
Never wanted to see things your way,
Had to go astray
For why was I such a fool (Why was I such a fool)
Now I see that the grass is greener
Is it too late for me to find my way home,
How could I be so wrong?
[Allure]
Leaving me all alone
Don't you know my tears will cause an inferno
Romance of these flames,
Why should I take the blame?
You were the one who left me neglected (So sorry baby)
Apology not accepted
Add me to the broken hearts you've collected
(I) I gave you all of me (Gave you all of me)
How was I to know,
You would weaken so easily
(I) I don't know what to do (I don't know what to do)
Now I'm all cried out (All cried out)
Over you
(I) I gave you my love in vain
My body never knew such pleasure,
My heart never knew such pain
And you
[112]
You left me so confused
[Allure]
Now I'm all cried out
Now I'm all cried out
Over you

Why Did You Leave Me
If only you could see the tears
In the world you left behind
If only you could hear my heart
Just one more time
Even when I close my eyes
There is an image of your face
Once again I come to realize
You have lost that I cant replace
Soul then die
Its keeping for the lonely
Since the day that your were gone
Why did you leave me
Soul then die
In my heart you were the only
And your memory lives on
Why did you leave me
Soul then die
Walking down the streets on nothing will
Where our love was young and free
Cant believe just what an empty place
It has come to be
I would give my life away
If it can only be the safe
Cas I could still the voice inside of me
That is calling out your name
Soul then die
Its keeping for the lonely
Since the day that your were gone
Why did you leave me
Soul then die
In my heart you were the only
And your memory lives on
Why did you leave me
Soul then die
Time will never change the things
That you told me
And after all we mean to be
Love would bring us back to you and me
If only you could see...
Soul then die(soul then die)
Its keeping for the lonely(for the lonely)
Since the day that your were gone
Why did you leave me
Soul then die
In my heart you were the only
And your memory lives on
Why did you leave me
Soul then die...

Leave A Light On
Take my hand
Tell me what you are feeling
Understand
This is just the beginning
Although I have to go
It makes me feel like crying
I dont know when Ill see you again
Darling leave a light on for me
Ill be there before you close the door
To give you all the love that you need
Darling leave a light on for me
cause when the world takes me away
You are still the air that I breathe
I cant explain I just dont know
Just how far I have to go
But darling Ill keep the key
Just leave a light on for me
Yes I know
What Im asking is crazy
You could go
Just get tired of waiting
But if I lose your love
Torn out by my desire
That would be the one regret of my life
Just like a spark lights up the dark
Baby thats your heart

Loving You
Don't fall in love you would always say
But I still can't see a better way
For the little things you did for me
They made my heart and soul feel free
But still you would say in no uncertain way
That if I fall in love I would live to pay
A price that would leave me raw and torn
Because of a misery of which so many mourn
What I didn't understand that fateful day
Was that it wasn't for me that I should dismay
Nor for my life that love would take
But still a loss that would leave me broken in its wake
But still I found love on a rainy day in May
A love with which fate would later play
Her eyes would shine with hope and pain
And she would hold me close, begging to remain sane
Still you say from the sterile bed in which you lay
I shouldn't have fell in love with you that day
For now I am to be left alone once you pass
Because of this illness no-one could surpass
But now I tell you to rest because it's okay
For loving you I would gladly pay
A price of pain and loneliness when you leave
Because you were the only one in which I ever believed

Leave Nothing Behind
Leave no stone unturned.
Leave no desire not yearned.
Then look back on it all.
Leave no poem without word.
Leave no song unheard
and never let them fall
into a space where all of them
cry out for their place.
Leave no book unread.
Leave no soul unfed.
Leave no scowl upon your face.
All of these things you left undone
you must learn to embrace.

How can i just let you walk away, just let you leave without a trace
When i stand here taking every breath with you, ooh
You're the only one who really knew me at all
How can you just walk away from me,
When all i can do is watch you leave
Cos we've shared the laughter and the pain and even shared the tears
You're the only one who really knew me at all
So take a look at me now, oh there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me,
Just the memory of your face
Ooh take a look at me now, well there's just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against all odds and that's what i've got to face
I wish i could just make you turn around,
Turn around and see me cry
There's so much i need to say to you,
So many reasons why
You're the only one who really knew me at all
So take a look at me now, well there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me, just the memory of your face
Now take a look at me now, cos there's just an empty space
But to wait for you, is all i can do and that's what i've got to face
Take a good look at me now, cos i'll still be standing here
And you coming back to me is against all odds
It's the chance i've gotta take
Take a look at me now

You Know What I Mean
Just as I thought I'd made it
You walk back into my life
Just like you never left
Just as I learned to be lonely
You call up to tell me
You're not sure if you're ready
Oh but ready or not
You'll take what you've got
And leave
Oh leave me alone
With my heart
I'm putting the pieces back
Together again
Just leave
Oh leave me alone
With my dreams
I can do without you
You know what I mean
I wish I could write a lovesong
To show you the way I feel
Seems you don't like to listen
Oh but like it or not
You'll take what you've got
And leave
Oh leave me alone

It's broken in two and I'm not

I Cant Leave Your Love Alone

Producers for bonnie: alan darby & david madiran
Recorded in 1991 as a b-side to the bitteblue single. it also found its way onto the b-side of the 1991 re-release of holding out for a hero (slightly extended version) and the 1993 compilation the very best of..., where it was incorrectly billed as previously unreleased . lyrics taken from careful listening.
There is a shadow rolling over my heart
Like a cloud across the moon
There is a devil on my shoulder
Spreading his light into my room
Broken head and empty heart
Shattered mind thats torn apart
I fall, I stumble into the night
I cant leave your love alone
I cant leave your love alone
A wicked wind beats at my window
Telling me that Im no good
Theres no life in this bleak desert
Theres no life, without you
Broken head and empty heart
Shattered mind thats torn apart
I fall, I stumble into the night
I cant leave your love alone
I cant leave your love alone
Broken head and empty heart
Shattered mind thats torn apart
I fall, I stumble into the night
I cant leave your love alone
I cant leave your love alone
I cant leave your love alone
I cant leave your love alone
I cant leave your love alone
I cant leave your love alone
I cant leave your love alone
I cant leave your love alone

A Farewell
Good-bye, good-bye; it is not hard to part!
You have my heart--the heart that leaps to hear
Your name called by an echo in a dream;
You have my soul that, like an untroubled stream,
Reflects your soul that leans so dear, so near -
Your heartbeats set the rhythm for my heart.
What more could Life give if we gave her leave
To give, and Life should give us leave to take?
Only each other's arms, each other's eyes,
Each other's lips, the clinging secrecies
That are but as the written words to make
Records of what the heart and soul achieve.
This, only this we yield, my love, my friend,
To Fate's implacable eyes and withering breath.
We still are yours and mine, though, by Time's theft,
My arms are empty and your arms bereft.
It is not hard to part--not harder than Death;
And each of us must face Death in the end!

When It Hurts The Least
I will leave you with tears crawling down my face
I will leave and it will feel like moving to hell from grace
I will leave because i cannot bear your distance
I will leave because life just wont give us a chance
I will leave knowing i have done everything i could do
I will leave owning nothing but our memories and your photo
I will leave with the last bit of pride left in me
I will leave but first i will unlock my heart and set you free
I will leave and it will tear me apart not looking back
I will leave, wave goodbye and my life will slowly turn black
I will leave knowing i was the luckiest victim of your love
I will leave missing every kiss and touch and all i can no longer have
I will leave but i hope you know i am compelled to
I will leave but i will be devistated as i worshiped you
I will leave though it hurts like mad to be forbidden from your sight
I will leave but your lost reply will kill me when i summon you every night

She Cant Help Herself
When she was a baby the world was a picture
One twist of fate took her parents away
On a highway, theyre not coming home
Shes alone
Then strangers appeared gave her love that she needed
Over those green hills and so far away
Like an echo, in the night shed scream
In her dreams
She cant help herself, she cant help herself
She cant help herself crying alone
But theres so many crying like you
When nearly a woman a friend of the family
Took that away that was precious to give
She pretended nothing happened there
Through the years
She cant help herself, she cant help herself
She cant help herself crying alone
But theres so many crying like you
Now she walks alone down the lane made for lovers
Too scared to open her heart to someone
Close the door and push away the pain, once again
She cant help herself, she cant help herself
She cant help herself crying alone
All her bridges were burned long ago
She cant help herself, she cant help herself
She cant help herself crying alone
But theres so many crying like you
Dont cry, leave a light on the landing hall
Dont cry, theres a rainbow behind that door
Just when you cant take anymore
. . . therell be someone to help you to break down the walls
Just when you cant feel anymore
. . . therell be someone to help you to even the score
Just when you cant give anymore
. . . therell be someone to help you to break down the walls
Just when you cant take anymore
. . . therell be someone for sure

Promise
I see how you been hurting
you felt the pain a time or two
that these wounds were hard to heal
they seem to have cut you deep
it was all you could feel
Your heart has been dying
and you're tired of all the lying
now you have no love to keep
there was nothing left to see
But I promise to always love you
or never to leave you
there could never be another
now that I found you
I will dry your tears you weep
I will never decieve you
and leave you here crying
when I'm walking out the door
I promise you a better tomorrow
as I wipe away your sorrow
when you're laying down to sleep
I know you heard it all before
but believe that it's true
for this I promise to do
when I hold you close to me
I will love you here forever
and never want nothing more

Soul On Soul
No one ever told me, no one ever said
No one ever loved me, till I was goin' outta my head
No one ever listened, to the things I tried to say
You gave me everything I needed, that's your way
You gave me hope, you gave me love
You gave me faith to carry on
Good God have mercy on me
Don't you desert me, baby
I wanna be together soul on soul this time
[Believe me, baby] believe me, baby
Don't ever leave me lonely
I wanna be together soul on soul this time
No one ever held me, as good as this before
No one ever stopped me, when I was runnin' out of the door
You set me free, you made me shine
You gave me arms to make you mine
Good God have mercy on me
Don't you desert me, baby
I wanna be together soul on soul this time
[Believe me, baby] believe me, baby
Don't ever leave me lonely
I wanna be together soul on soul this time
Love made me so gun shy
Don't say, don't say another word
Love feels so radical
That I lose my way, when you're here by me
Good God have mercy on me
Don't you desert me, baby
I wanna be together soul on soul this time
[Believe me, baby] believe me, baby
Don't ever leave me lonely
I wanna be together soul on soul this time
Good God have mercy on me (have mercy)
Don't you desert me, baby
I wanna be together soul on soul this time
(I wanna be together soul on soul this time)
[Believe me, baby] believe me, baby (believe me, baby)
Don't ever leave me lonely
(Don't ever, ever leave me)
I wanna be together soul on soul this time (soul on soul this time)
Good God have mercy on me
(Good God have mercy on me)
Don't you desert me, baby
(Don't you desert me, baby)
I wanna be together soul on soul this time (soul on soul this time)
[Believe me, baby] (ooh, ooh) believe me, baby
Don't ever leave me lonely
I wanna be together soul on soul this time
