Shackled
For so long my lifes been sewn up tight inside your hold
And it leaves me there without a place to call my own
I know now what shadows can see
Theres no point in running less you run with me
Its half the distance through the open door
Before you cut me down
Again
Let me introduce you to the end
And I feel the cold wind blowing beneath my wings
It always leads me back to suffering
But I will soar until the wind whips me down
Leaves me beaten on unholy ground again
So tired now of paying my dues
I start out strong but then I always lose
Its half the distance before you leave me behind
Its such a waste of time
Chorus
cause my shackles
You wont be
And my rapture
You wont believe
And deep inside you will bleed for me
So here I slave inside of a broken dream
Forever holding on to splitting seams
So take your piece and leave me alone to die
I dont need you to keep my faith alive
I know now what trouble can be
And why it follows me so easily
Its half the distance through the open door
Before you shut me down
Again
Let me introduce you to the end
Chorus
Though you know you care
Chorus
And my laughter
You wont hear
The faster
I disappear
And time will burn your eyes to tears

Running Back To You
Boy, youve been running around to long
Now I think youre running out of time
No more jumping in and out of my bed
Its time for me to draw the line
So you think you can call me the only one, then walk out the door
And you think you can run arround having fun,
And just come back for more
Chorus:
I think youre living in a fantasy
Its got to be them or me
So if you try it onr more time
Baby dont expect me to come running back to you
Running back to you
Then youll think about love, all the good I gave to you
I wont come running back, running back to you
I wont come running back, running back to you
And Ill find someone, somebody else to give it to
Oh oh, oh oh
I wont come running back
I wont come running
Oh oh, oh oh
I wont come running back
I wont come running
Boy, hope you see before to late
I wont play the fool-no not this time
And Ill show you just how wrong you are
To think I just cant get you out of my mind
So you think you can just play me off, then walk out the door
And you think that you can just run arround and come back for more
Chorus
You cant dis me when you wanna
Or come and go when you wanna
I hear youre playing around when you wanna
Any time that you wanna
Or just tell me lies when you wanna
I got more than you want oh
Oh, and by the way
Oh, oh I wont come running back, I wont come running
Oh, oh I wont come running back, I wont come running
Running back to you
Then youll think about love, all the good I gave to you
I wont come running back, running back to you
I wont come running back, running back to you
And Ill find someone, somebody to give it to
Oh oh, oh oh
I wont come running back
I wont come running
Oh oh, oh oh
I wont come running back
I wont come running

Get My Way
I cant take no more
Im so tired of running in somebody elses shoes
Whats it all been for
Whats the use of paying for somebody elses dues
Ive been on the road for someone elses dreams
Now Im trying to find my way back again
Its time to break some rules
And stop before the fire in me cools
Chorus:
I got my way
Of getting through to you
And Im going back where no ones been before
Some day
Ill show you something new
Ive got my way
To try and wipe the tears from my eyes
Im half scared to death
Think Im right but what if Im wrong
Ive got one shot left
The door is open now but not long
The rooms full of faces that Ive never seen
Like a million pair of eyes looking down
The smoke is blinding me
But I can still see my destiny
Chorus:
I got my way
Of getting through to you
And Im going back where no ones been before
Some day
Ill show you something new
Ive got my way
Of trying to wipe the tears from my eyes

Big Boy Now
Ive been searching / not the first or the last
Trying to figure out the mystery of the half empty glass
Time is turning for the rest of the world
While a temporary leap of faith helps the story unfurl
They say that hearts dont stay broken
Even though the scars remain
And eyes dont stay swollen
Even if it feels that way
Chorus
But its not that serious / Im a big boy now
And Im not delirious / so dont show me how
Cause Ive gotten beyond the agony
And my perspective is saving me
Never doubted what the cards would reveal
And if the joker showed his ugly face
Not that big of a deal
Its just a moment in the scheme of it all
But its difficult to visualize when the axe starts to fall
But then a heart wont stay broken
Even on its darkest day
The right door could open
Pick you up and drift away
(repeat chorus)
With all the confusion
How does anybody come through
But life is illusion
And no one can tell you what youve gotta do
You know a heart wont stay broken
Even on its darkest day
The right door could open
Pick you up and drift away
(repeat chorus)

Stop Loving You
Reflections in my mind, thoughts I cant define
My heart is racing and the night goes on
I can almost hear a laugh, coming from your photograph
Funny how a look can share a thousand meanings
Well-intended lies, contemplating alibies
Is it really you, or is it me Im blaming
A distant memory flashes over me
Even though youre gone, I feel you deep inside
Dance beneath the light with that look in your eyes
Chorus:
I cant stop loving you, time passes quickly and chances are few
I wont stop till Im through loving you, girl
Theres a window in a heart, Ive tried to look through from the start
Youre never really sure what someone else is thinking
Someones broken something new, another altered point of view
Just a certain someones conscience playing
I held it in my hand, I did not understand
What lives inside the wind that cries her name
Tried to catch a shooting star, what seems so close cant be that far
Im living in a dream thats never ending
Dance beneath the light with that look in your eyes
Chorus:
I cant stop loving you, time passes quickly and chances are few
I wont stop till Im through loving you, girl
(instrumental break)
Dancing with that look thats in your eyes
Chorus:
I cant stop loving you, time passes quickly and chances are few
I wont stop till Im through loving you, girl
Chorus:
I cant stop loving you, time passes quickly and chances are few
I wont stop till Im through loving you, loving you...

What In The Name Of Love
Words and music by bill boling, chris deal, and rick wayne
Early morning , and as I rise, you wont even open your eyes.
You used to love this time together.
Now you wont even say goodbye.
With the passin time Ive watched you change.
My love for you still remains the same.
Your love for me used to come so easy.
Now it seldom comes at all.
Chorus:
Could it be were really over?
Has all the lovin gone?
Is it finlly time to face the hurt Ive dreaded for so long.
Tell me what in the name of love have I done wrong?
I hope in time well find a way to bring our lovin back someday.
If your new lifes not what you expected, call and Ill come back home.
I hate to leave but Ive got to go.
Dont ask why; Im sure you know.
Your love for me I cant share with another.
It hurts me so.

Until I Find You Again
Lately Ive been trying
To fill up my days since youre gone
The speed of love is blinding
And I dont know how to hold on
My mind wont clear
Im out of tears
My hearts got no room left inside
Chorus
How many dreams will end
How long can I pretend
How many times will love pass me by
Until I find you again
Will the arms of hope surround me
Will time be a fair weather friend
Should I call out to angels
Or just drink myself sober again
I cant hide its true
I still burn for you
Your memory just wont let me go
Chorus
Id hold you tighter
Closer than ever before
No flame would burn brighter
If I could touch you once more.
Hold you once more

Aint No Good
Sometimes I stare and feel the heat of your eyes
And they burn me from deep down inside
Well thats okay it just suits me fine
But Im sure that were not travelling on the same line
Cause when you hold me and youre holding me right
Thats when you leave me you leave me so light
Well its just not fair dont want to believe
But thats just the way it seems to be
So now youre playing out of sight out of mind
Youre gonna fall this time
Chorus
Aint no good for me baby
The way you treat me with your lies
Aint no good for me baby
After all the tears we cried
Aint no good for me baby
The way you treat me with your lies
I feel so cold inside I must be frozen inside
Youve had my love locked up in your mind
Now it cant go on this heatache and pain
Our one sided love leaves nothing to gain
But when you hold me and you hold me so right
Thats when you leave me you leave me so light
Well its just not fair dont want to believe
But thats the way it all seems to be

You Have To Hurt
(frank musker, dominic king)
Im in love with him? she said
With all the innocence of tender years
But somewhere down the road ahead
I could see the same eyes
Filled with bitter tears
I had the inclination
To tell her not to drop her guard
To tell her that life can be hard
But I didnt have the heart
(chorus)
You have to hurt - to understand
You have to get by the best you can
Until you hurt - until you cry
You wont know about love
And the reason youre alive
You have to hurt
She said, i know hell never leave me
I never felt it deep inside like this before?
It was good to see her, believe me
But I couldnt stand to hear this anymore
All that expectation
Too naive to really see
Maybe she knew better than me
It was better just to let her be
(chorus)
Little sister, youre so sweet
Thinking love runs smooth
You dont know the half of it
We laugh until we lose
Theres no way around it

Memories
Im looking out as the world goes by
All the sadness lover we tried
It used to be you held me near
I felt your touch now Im holding back my tears
Well I look back
And I close my eyes
To the blame and the heartache
That we left behind
Wont you take me
Im falling
I cant stop from loving you
Chorus
You were my world
And all that was real
Now the memories
Are all I have to live for
You made me feel
The joy and the pain
All the memories
I dont want to see fade away
Every day life is just the same
Looking in the mirror trying tp put on a face
Of someone whos happy someone whos strong
But deep down inside me I know I was wrong
Cause you gave me more
Than youll ever know
And I was such a fool to let you go
So wont you come back
Im sorry
Im standing here calling you
Chorus
If I could see you
Baby Id hold on forever
Cause times made me realize
We need to be together
So wont you come back
Im sorry
Im standing here calling
Take me Im falling
I cant stop from loving you

In April
I sit on my pillow
My cat on my head
I hear your voice, boy
And cant forget
Your kisses were cold and
Full of loneliness
Hold deep sadness
With my hands
I wont be here - I wont be there
I will write another story
And my tears
Will create
Will create a lake of sorrows
Chorus:
But in april it sounds like love
When you call
You call my name
You call my name
But in april it sounds like love
When you call
You call my name
You call my name
You call my name
The door is open now
I have to go
The moon shines brighter
Than it did before
The clock strikes twelve
Theres no time
Time to sleep
Well go upstairs
Straight to the sky
Im not here - Im not there
Took a ball point pen to write you
And my tears
They create
They create a lake of sorrows
Im not here - Im not there
Took a ball point pen to write you
And my tears
They create
They create a lake of sorrows

Was not here - was not there

Long Distance Lover
(robert rosenberg, pauline lee)
Then you call me long distance from memphis
When they said it was you on the line
I said dont come tomorrow
Cause I wont be here
Youd only be wasting your time
Ive been your long distance lover
For far too long
But Im not here to tell you
Whos right or whos wrong
But I know I once loved you
But somehow it seems
That its all a part of a dream
So dont call me again in the morning
Cause I wont be changing my mind
And the phone will be ringing in my empty room
I aint leaving nothing behind
Ive been your long distance lover
For far too long
The nights are so lonely
Cant keep holding on
And the miles are like mountains
That hide you from me
And its all a part of a dream
Ive been your long distance lover
For far too long
Cant hold on to feelings
When youre so long gone
It all keeps on a changing
And now it just means
That its all a part of a dream

So cry
But you dont cry

Why dont you open it?

Youre starin at your white, white wall
And nothings like it was last night

If you cannot swim you have to drown

You need as much as trusting arms boy

I Dare You
God only knows how I've needed a friend
Who can see the boldness and pride
Someone strong enough I can put my faith in
Someone willing to let me inside
So be a man and be my man
First Chorus:
I dare you to need me
Like nobody else
I dare you to feel me
Like you've never felt
I dare you to want to want
To wanna be good to me
Baby you've got your reasons
Dangling from kite strings
But you can open your hands, let them fly
Oh I know you wont always say and do the right things
Oh but some things are worth a try
So if you can, be my man
Second Chorus:
I dare you to know me
Like I've never known
I dare you to show me
That I can be shown
Dare you to want to want
To wanna be good to me
Tell me I,
Tell me I'm the one who deserves you
Oh and every time, every time you know that you want to
I dare you
Third Chorus:
I dare you to hold me
Like you never will (again)
Kiss me and leave the world standing still
Dare you to want to want

Another day, another night, I long to hold you tight

Baby, I need your lovin, got to have all your lovin

You said you would wait for me, but something went wrong
The house was empty, your pictures gone
I knew youd come back one day, our love was so strong

I always knew that we would always be
Chorus:
Two hearts forever, one heart alone, I need to know your love is mine
Two hearts forever, one heart alone, I wont let go of you this time
You couldve talked to me, what changed your mind
I could have been there by your side
You thought you could walk away, but you know thats a lie
This loneliness is hard to hide
Its so easy to surrender, and temptation always finds a way
You must hold on, you know we must hold on, whoa-oh-oh

Cause he said goodbye
Left you with nothing
But the tears in your eyes
You dont know how youre gonna get through this pain
But the rain wont claim your days forever

There is no heart that wont heal
There is no tear that wont dry
No matter how lost you feel
Remember there is a light on the other side
There is no night that wont end
No sun that wont shine again

There is no heart that wont heal
Love can lift you to the heavens
But it can let you down
And the fall aint always easy
I know what youre feeling right now
But in time you wont find a trace of this pain
You get rainbows from rain just remember

Our Last Goodbye
Baby, dont cry
Open your eyes
Here in the dead of the night
Lying here with you by my side, dont know if this is wrong or its
Right
Wishing this was just another day, baby, I can feel its too late
Just another cruel twist of fate
Looking back through the years, time has dried all our tears
But all good things must end, oh, just listen
Chorus:
Baby, dont cry, I can see weve lost the feeling
Wont you open your eyes and try to find your smile
Weve known each other too long to let it all slip away
But when alls said and done, weve said our last goodbye
Baby, dont cry
Baby, weve been living a lie
And even though it hurts deep inside
I know there can be no, no, no compromise cause too many chances have
Passed
And if you want a love that can last, never try to push things too
Fast
And even though Ive no regrets, I still recall the night we met
We said wed never end, so, baby, listen
Repeat chorus
Rap:
All the memories we had, I wouldnt change a thing
And with the lights down low, Im dreaming of what could have been
Even though weve tried so many times before
Ill take one look around before I close the door
With this one last kiss, I know deep down inside
The beginning of the end, the ending of our time
Maybe we could try, but, no, its just too late
Just another cruel twist of fate
Looking back through the years, time has dried all our tears
But all good things must end, oh, just listen

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.

Whenever Youre Gone
(l. stansfield/i. devaney/a. morris)
I cant go any further now, only if you come with me
Only if you can take my hand and hold me in your arms
If you come and look into my eyes, iii see it all more clearly
All of the tears youve seen my cry
Youll take them all away
If you come and open up my eyes and hold me
Take me away and ease my mind
Just come and hold me tight
Chorus:
Whenever youre gone its lonely
Whenever youre gone I cant face the light of day
Its too many times Ive been on my own
With a burning in my heart
Whenever youre gone
Look at the face you see before you, cant you be open to me
Cant you believe what we have, dont throw it away
Believe in me now dont criticize, its only the beginning
Cant you believe these desperate eyes, believe in what we say
If you came and open up me eyes and hold me
Then I can open up my mind, and I will hold you tight

When youre gone I feel so alone
And I cant sleep for crying, and deep inside I feel like dying

Superman Inside
By eric clapton, doyle bramhall ii & susannah melvoin
Living, loving, aint going to waste my life.
Singing music, someday the sun dont shine.
I dont want to be the one,
The one that can never say,
I need to let it out, wont you let me in.
Give it all up, surrender thankfully.
Fall down on my knees, my hands open wide.
I dont want to be the one,
The one that can never say,
I need to let it out, wont you let me in.
Look in the mirror, even with a broken heart Im fine.
Keep on pushing, getting closer to peace of mind.
Look in the mirror, even with a broken heart Im fine.
Living is so sweet now with superman inside.
No more running, aint going to hide away.
Im standing outside in the pouring rain.
cause I dont want to be the one,
The one that can never say,
I need to let it out, wont you let me in.
