Do The Explaining For Me
In love
I lose my reason
I become
An illusion
I can’t figure
Out what to do
Where to go
I will let
Someone
Do the explaining
For me

Listen Mister
Written by: myles goodwyn
Listen mister I can not see
Any reason for lyin
I can see inside your head
To the back of your mind, yeah
Get it together
Get it together before you lose
Get it together
Get it together before you lose
Here I am on my knees
And not afraid of dieing
Suddenly it occurs to me
There was really no sense in trying
Yes I know it seems strange to you
But its our way of living
I cant see for the life of me
Why youre so afraid to reason
Listen mister I can not see
Any reason for lyin
Things just arent like they use to be
Nd theres no sense in tryin
Get it together
Get it together before you lose
Get it together
Get it together before you lose
A good reason I cannot see
A good reason I cannot see
A good reason I cannot see

Sweet Illusions
Let me go I'm only letting you down
I 've got nothing to say to you now
I lose the feelings that are weighing me down
When I'm safe
It's turning morning all the birds sing
I'm not complicating anything
I'll have another then I'll go to bed
But I'll dream of you
Cause it's almost over
And it's almost gone
And I can feel the sweet illusion, coming
Sweet confusion, honey
Sweet illusion coming down
And I ain't got nothing but love for you now
You and I used to shine like a jewel
But times been nothing to us but cruel
So play it out and never played the fool
Cause you'll lose every time
We were nothing, we were only the past
Hard times like that don't last
I've been forgiven, I've been surpassed
By my heart
Have you?
Cause it's almost over
Yeah it's almost gone
And I can feel the Sweet Illusion coming
Sweet Confusion, honey
Sweet Illusion coming down
And I ain't got nothing but love for you
Love for you I can't use
And lonely nights multiplied by the blues
That I can't resolve
You never knew me but I did my best
I'm just lonely inside I guess
You gave me everything you really tried
Thanks....
If we were nothing and we're only the past
Then I'm just living in a dream I guess
A long black dream that takes me down the river to you
Where it's almost over
And we're almost gone
And I can feel the Sweet Illusion coming
Sweet Confusion, honey
Sweet Illusion coming down
And I ain't got nothing but love for you now

You Can't Lose At Love (Crush Demo)
You can lose at cards
You can lose your keys
You can lose the house or lose the lease
You can lose your car, you can lose the race
You can lose your mind or lose your faith
Take a look around and hear what I've gotta say
You can't lose at love
No, you can't lose at love
You can't lose at love
You can't lose at love
Chose anything you can dream of
No, you can't lose at love
We could lose the plot
Or we could lose our way
But I ain't going to lose
These ain't good games we're playing
Let me make you an offer too good to refuse
No, you can't lose at love
No, you can't lose at love
You can't lose at love
You can't lose at love
Chose anything you can dream of
But you can't lose at love
Now we just might roll a seven, these ain't loaded dice
We'll never get to heaven from this driveway tonight
You've heard a million promises that's never come through
Baby I'm telling you we're due
You can't lose at love
You can't lose at love
Chose anything you can dream of
But baby, you can't lose at love
Take a chance on me
Cause you can't lose at love
Take a chance on me
No, you can't lose at love
Take a chance on me
You can't lose at love
No, you can't lose at love
You can't lose at love
You can't lose
You can't lose

Sometimes Love Doesn't Enough
So many words unsaid
And the unsaid becomes too late
What do we have other than regret?
I love you, I really do
But sometimes it doesn't enough
So many waiting for tomorrow
And tomorrow becomes more rows
What do we have other than sorrow?
I love you, I really do
But sometimes I should have you
So many questions to be reason
And reason lose its importance
What do we have other than illusion?
I love you, I really do
But sometimes it is hard to keep the promise
When sadness turns to anger
And anger spreads its poison
What do we have other than bitterness?
I love you, I really do
But sometimes it causes a greater pain
When secret becomes distance
And distance stretch us further
What do we have other than doubt?
I love you, I really do
But sometimes I want back my freedom
When night invites the worry
And worry starts to swallow me
What do we have other than shadow?
I love you, I really do
But sometimes it's only lonely

No Time To Lose
The other family get no sleep
Somewhere down the love got to take and keep
Think about the future, nothing in the past
God, things never last
Come on, come on, come on
Take your love
Get down, get down, get down
Down the road
It ain't no lie
You're hurting
And you don't know why
No time to lose
We get no time to lose
No time to lose
No time to lose
Ever had the feeling something's going wrong
Hanging round a lover where you don't belong
Waiting for a reason, lookin' for a clue
But you know what you gotta do
Come on, come on, come on
Take your love
Get down, get down, get down
Down the road
It ain't no lie
You're hurting
And you don't know why
You got no time to lose
We get no time to lose
No time to lose
No time to lose
Your brothers at the bar
There girls in the car
Your sister's on the telephone
that ain't low
Your mother's going blue
Your dad is going grey
There's nothing here for you to stay
Come on, come on, come on
Take your love
Get down, get down, get down
Get down that road, get down you
It ain't no lie
You're hurting
And you don't know why
No time to lose
No time to lose
You gonna have to choose
You go and shake the blues
Oh oh you got no time to lose
You got to choose
No time to lose

I Love....
i love...
that's the reason i walk,
the reason i breathe.
the reason i grieve.
the reason i dance.
the reason i smile.
the reason i listen.
the reason i offer a hand.
the reason i see beauty.
the reason i see both darkness,
and light....
the reason i take chances.
the reason i keep going.
the reason i get angry.
the reason i forgive.
the reason i touch.
the reason i question.
the reason i believe.
the reason i am tolerant.
the reason i understand.
the reason i fall.
the reason i fly.
the reason i write...
the reason i am what i am!

Shadow Of life
I am a victim and you know that I know this.
Je suis une victime et vous savez que je le sais.
You say that you love me,
but the words lose their meaning,
when they are passed through the filter
of reason and truth.
Vous dites que vous m'aimez
mais les mots perdent leur sens
quand ils sont passés par le filtre
de la raison et la vérité.
I would have wished you to be the man of my dreams
or at least I would have preferred that
our seemingly love to be
rather an illusion of reality
than a reality of illusion
J'aurais voulu que vous soyez l'homme de mes rêves
ou au moins j 'aurais préféré
notre amour apparemment être
plutôt une illusion de réalité
qu'une réalité d'illusion
I wish you to be aware that
with every victim that dies
you're increasingly poor with a feeling..
and still less able to love again
Je veux que vous soyez conscients cela
avec chaque victime qui meurt
vous êtes de plus en plus pauvres avec un sentiment..
et toujours moins capable d'aimer de nouveau
and every time you kill
love itself, of yourself, of herself
you just stay only with the shadow of life.
et la chaque fois vous tuez
l'amour lui-même, de vous, d'elle
vous restez seulement avec l'ombre de vie.

The Illusion Of Power
What is it that turns you on to the illusion of power,
This thing that grabs you by the heart and makes you want to tear things down.
There is no reason why I should need all this power, but if you cross me now,
Im gonna tear your whole world down.
The illusion of power, things I feel, seem so real,
The illusion of power.
I cant get the emotional thing straight in my head,
Everything I love dies too soon, or is already dead.
Dont stand too close I spit and breathe fire,
Anything Ive got now you cannot desire.
You want to be my friend, I promise you nothing.
Nothing I can give you, nothing I can do for you,
Im being chased by the sins of my past and its killing me now,
Killing me now.
The illusion of power, things I feel, seem so real,
The illusion of power.
The illusion of power, its already set signed and sealed,
The illusion of power.
Fool, youre caught in a complex catacomb of your own inadequcies and pitiful weaknesses,
Your soul secretes insecurity.
So you live on the reflection side of the mirror; youre terrified of true power.
You fear
I can tell you stories of my
Shaded past and I can drag you down into the depths of my soul.
The illusion of power, things I feel, seem so real,
The illusion of power.
The illusion of power, its already set signed and sealed,
The illusion of power.
Why dont you come closer, promise a story I will tell, yeah,
Ill save you from your dreams, yeah
Ill save you from your dreams.

Love's illusion
You are a dream illusion of my reality,
You are the illusion of my dreams,
You are an illusion.
I try to live in dreams,
You see,
Dreams are my reality,
But don't be worried, my love,
They will disappear
Like bubbles
In the air,
Without leaving
Any trace in my memory.
They can form the illusion
Of the ideal perfect love,
More fragile
Than anything I know.

You Win -- I Lose
Writers: alan tarney & leo sayer
You win -- I lose
Thats how it all begins
Well I try so hard in these affairs of the heart
But I know that Ill never win
Well I talk to you sweet like honey
Dont I treat you as nice as pie
But I cant figure out when you scream and you shout
Why I have to apologize
You win -- I lose
Thats how it always goes
I came into this thing with my heart in a spin
I went out with a broken nose
You win -- I lose
Thats how its meant to be
Well I tried all I can just to figure it out
But loves just mystery
Guess all you ladies would call me easy
But Im a fool for the femme fatale
When she flashes those eyes Im not a man Im a mouse
Tryin to patch up a broken heart
You win -- I lose
Thats okay thats the way it goes
Well I tried all I could but it did me no good
cos all Ive got is nothin to show
They say that men are always supposed to act
Like theyre not really tryin
But when I come on cool nobody seems to notice
Its a mystery
Its a mystery to me
You see you win -- I lose
I guess thats how were meant to be
I tried as hard as I could but it did me no good
Youre more than a match for me
And it dont make no sense to me
Love is still a mystery
Its just a mystery

I love reading people. I really enjoy watching, observing, and being able to figure out a person, the reason they wore that dress, the reason they smell the way they do.
Reasons
Give me the reason
That I want...
[1] - Give me the reason to love you
And I want to love you more
Oh give me the reason to love you
And I want to love you more
Sitting in here thinking about you
And all the joy you bring oh baby
I just can't live without you
Cause your love means everything
[Repeat 1]
Honey I've got to tell you
Just how you make me feel
Oh baby my love will never leave you
Cause I will be right here
And you know that I would do anything
Not to lose your love

Its Up To You
When the breeze between us calls, love comes and lingers into our lives,
And the leaves begin to fall, you point your finger at me.
I love you-
I love you-
In the sadness of your smile love is an island way out to sea,
But it seems so long ago we have been ready trying to be free.
And its up to you,
Why wont you say?
Make our lives turn out this way.
If they knew, that we have got nothing to lose,
No reason to hide from whats true.
In the world of me and you
All is forgotten when were inside
And the words that pass us by,
I am not listening, all of its lies.
And its up to you,
Why wont you say?
Make our lives turn out this way.
If they knew, that we have got nothing to lose,
No reason to hide from whats true,
That we have got nothing to lose.

Dead For Quite A Long Time....
breathless is the reason,
it is just this euphemism about having to lose breath
and you may think
it's a way simply out of the ball game
or a movie
like breathless (i.e. sleepless) in Seattle
but really, really
it is not the case of being breathless because you are overjoyed
or has exerted much effort
for joy
or bliss
it is not the case, it is not
it is something else that you cannot figure out
because you are still
too preoccupied with breathing and all
its condiments of air
and space
there will be a time when you see someone you
love in an infirmary
or at bay
and you confess your love and you say
all my life love has always been another and another stranger
without a name, and touch-less and you say
it is breathtaking but
there is never a hand or a pair of warm red lips
breathless because you have been dead for long
and you refuse to acknowledge it

A reason to live
A man's reason to live is his very reason to die. His reason to live is his reason to sacrifice by his reason to love. His reason to love is his reason to die. If he died it would be a great sacrifice by reason of his faith. Then that reason of faith is substantiated if that love is good. Therefore his faith is purposeful.
A dangerous man has no reason to live and therefore no reason to love as all is lost. If that man has no love he has no reason for faith and he has no reason of faith because there is no love. He will give up his life easily. Look at the ones who love you and you will have the reason to live. That reason to live is what makes you believe in life. Therefore by reason of love you have faith and by reason of faith you have life. - John 17: 3

My Reason
Looking down at the floor
seeing the blood stains.
I see the razors lying around
I can't believe who i used to be.
You've changed the way i look at life
It's been twelve years of depression
But who'da thought everything would change
the day i met you.
Though nearly two years ago
and depression still overwhelmed me.
The night we got together
my life changed forever.
I hope to spend my life
with you... the one I truly love.
To ever lose you
would be to lose my life.
Every bad time I went through
you were there for me.
You are the reason I'm still alive
You are my reason for living.
I Love You.
