Blood in the Water
If I was just to walk away
would there be enough love inside
enough to make me want to stay
And if all the words we said
were all we had left spoken
would you still know what to say
to change the way we feel
If the promises that we broken
wasn't enough to mend
would it make sense to pretend
when we're just wasting time
Like blood in the water
we eventually fade to nothing
wondering why we bother
when we don't see what's real
If you could only hide
these thoughts in your head
would you go from here
this pain that holds your fear

Still
Tears of yesterday
we both cried
years forever gone
still we both tried
still nothing left for us to do
So I gave in to you
all that we been through
saw the bright lights
in that lonely desert town
as we watched the sun go down
shimmering off in a distance
Still we thought we'd give it a chance
left in this masquerade
standing here, no-one left to dance
as we both turned to walk away
love wasting the nights
still we had nothing left to say
And when it was all said and done
I seen you still turn around
losing what you already found
still wasn't enough to make you stay
With broken promises once made
this games already been played
still the memories seem to never fade
as I see you there alone
still never to come home

After All
This is the end
together we walk away
time finally giving us the answer
to a question so many times asked
thought it would be the other way around
guess their was no need to pretend
After all of the heartache
that filled inside of me
with so much of this frustration
after all of the broken promises
we did'nt have to make
after all those sweet kisses
I tasted on your lips
did'nt think it would be my heart
you would break
that would fade away forever
But now only time can mend
something that seemed so right
trying to erase those memories
I have to forget
as we walk our own path
like fools on sinking ships

Darkest Days
I used to walk around
thinking of what not was to be
no light would never shine
this blood in my hands was only mine
as I watched my soul bleed
you could give me nothing I need
I thought the weight of this world
kept me chained to this wall
careless whispers that wouldn't mend
in these darkest days, I lost it all
nothng was left inside my mind
there was nothing left to feel
Memories were left far behind
blowing in this lonely wind
it all turned into dust
to everything I use to trust
these darkest days, nothing was real
mercy was standing here next to me
only to watch me crawl
I was searching for something I couldn't find
losing myself down this endless highway
felt the pain that would never ease
I never thought it would go away
as I fell to my knees
looking for the answers that I never found
Sown shut my eyes
to this place so full of lies
it was the only way to forget
tomorrow was just a reflection of today
everything here now is gone
Promises made, only meant to broken
in a world rotting in disgust
your words so full of shit
now means nothing as you disdain
your lips move, but nothing is spoken
these darkest days, life is just a loaded gun
when all is said and done

Yesterdays Letter
I wrote a letter yesterday
Just trying to explain
Couldnt find the words to say
Cause you are so far away, so far away
I wrote a letter yesterday
Its so hard for me to face
That it had to end this way
But my love will never change, will never change
When I search my soul to find the truth
About the love we shared
I wonder why youre no longer here
You can just walk away
But I dont feel the same
My heart still beats for you
Craves for you
Sings for you
And those feelings will never fade
I cant hide my pain
I can never hide the way I feel for you
Ive been talking in my sleep
About the way it used to be
Girl I pray that you hear me
Then Ill see you in my dreams
Oh, in my dreams
Well I cant forget the words you said
To pull away from my life
And no matter what Ill carry you inside
You can just walk away
But I dont feel the same
My heart still beats for you, breaks for you, sinks for you
And those feelings will never fade
I cant hide my pain
I can never hide the way I feel for you
Sooner or later your gonna realize
That this type of love happens once in your life
So open your eyes girl
And see what we could be
You can just walk away
But I dont feel the same
My heart still beats for you, breaks for you, sinks for you
And those feelings will never fade
I cant hide my pain
I can never hide the way I feel for you
You can just walk away
But I dont feel the same
My heart still beats for you, breaks for you, sinks for you
And those feelings will never fade
I cant hide my pain
I can never hide the way I feel for you

Two Angels
There was a time in my life
I just closed my eyes
days I couldn't look back
at the memories faded in my mind
wandering down this lonesome track
with two Angels here by my side
showing me where I had to go
These wounds that would never heal
lost pictures of you I never could find
they seem to still haunt me
stuck here in what now is reality
I can no longer feel
with two Angels here by my side
showing me the things I needed to know
Sitting in some empty motel room
staring out the window
into the silence of the night
thinking about what I left behind
some things you just can't hide
trying to make it right
with a heart full of gloom
two Angels to guide my way
remembering words you would never say
Lovers left in a masquerade
broken promises we never made
knowing neither one could stay
as we both just turn and walk away
in a world that never dies
two Angels try to fly

I Love You, I Hate You
You walked away
no words left to say
torn between a mixed emotion
tied up in a empty notion
your love a deadly potion
I couldn't let go
Remembering everything you said
I love you, I hate you
I need to leave you
I bleed for you, I wait for you
still these words in my head
Caught in this whirlwind
between an enemy and a friend
time passes we try to pretend
both looking for something new
these nights just trying to make it through
losing everything that we knew
Remembering everything i said
I love you, I hate you
I need to leave you
I bleed for you, I wait for you
Still these words in your head
And as we try not to let it show
hiding behind the pain
this love we both refrain
nothing here is the same
just another dying flame
all that's left will remain
Remembring everything we said
I love you, I hate you
I need to leave you
I bleed for you, I wait for you
Still these words in our head

Change
Someday when Im over you
And when I think Im able to
Well, I might try to be
Your friend again
But your restless heart
And rovin eyes
My jealousy, these
Endless fights
Ive got to get out of your life
Or I will never mend
Chorus:
I guess Ill die a bit each day
But Im always dying anyway
And I dont have the heart to
Stay, and I cant take the pain
I know weve tried to no avail
Our heaven now has
Turned to hell
The same old hurt
We know so well
And somethings got
To change
We both know its got to end
The passions gone
Its just pretend
And one of us have got
To make the move
We might as well just give it up
Weve lost respect and
Theres no trust
And without this, theres
No real love
Its just some sad excuse
2nd chorus:
I guess Ill die a bit each day
But Im always dying anyway
And theres nothing left but walk away
Aint this a crying shame
A change of pace
A change of heart
A change of place
A place to start
And well be better off apart
Our only chance is change
Tag:
And we never will
But something has to change
Fade:
But someday when Im over you
And when I think Im able to
Then I will try to be your friend again
But I dont want to see
Your face til then
Change, I need a change
I need a change
We need a change

Walk On Alone
I had to leave you far behind
just wanting to forget the past
with your tear stain on my shirt
from a love that couldn't last
and one we would never find
All that we had left here
was only the pain and hurt
and memories not worth us to share
so we walk on alone in despair
with a love that wasn't enough to care
and broken days we can never rewind
We looked at this love blind
so letting go I had to you there
and I walk on alone
never to look back again
leaving you and this love in vain
Tired of all the tears that we shed
that fell from our eye's like rain
now not worth crying
inside you left me dying
on a path I feared to tread
and turned my heart to stone

I love you once
love you once
.
Wondering what that voice is inside my mind, as I layed my head down on this crazy train,
with tears rolling down my face.
Some days its there and sometimes gone, wondering where all the years will lead me, and my final destination.
Now your telling me that I am home....
I been down some empty streets, within wicked hearts and broken dreams....
Than I feel that is just phase, I will no longer feel this way.
But each time I feel your heart next to me, I feel a strong connection to you, Baby
I always wanted you next to me, Why I had to go through all these bad things?
You make me feel so happy, I never want to be without you.
'But take it all away, take it all away, this pain has been deep inside me.
This something that I can not deny me. Just take it all away.'
But take it all away, take it all away, this pain has been deep inside me.
This something that I can not deny me. Just take it all away.
This pain is just inside me, in my head and I can not hide it.......
You have touched a deep part of my soul, you are part of me I can't let go.
Happy I never thought I could be so Happy. Today you took the pain away.
Please never go away, never go away.
Each time I feel your heart next to me, I feel a strong connection to you baby.
I always wanted you next to me, why I had to go through all these bad things?
My heart was broken in so many places, but you helped me replace it.
My heart was broken in so many places, but you helped me replace it.
I owe it all to you - I love you once and forever, I love you once and forever..You are my final destination

Say the Words
If ya gotta go,
Then I'll make out all right
If you wanna know
I knew it wasn't right
All the time.
We'll make out somehow
Just like we did before
Just don't turn around,
When you walk out the door
And just one time
Say the words
Say the words I love
Fill the time
Till the time
You can't stay
Say the words
Say the words I love
Fill the time
Till the time
You can't stay.
Nothin' left to do.
It's done, there is no more
Nothin' left to say
We've said it all before
Yes, I know
Wouldn't trade away
A day of what we had
I know you shouldn't stay
But, babe it wasn't bad
Before you go
Say the words
Say the words I love
Fill the time
Till the time
You can't stay.
Say the words
Say the words I love
Fill the time
Till the time
You can't stay.

Wasting My Time
Well I don't want to see you waiting
I've already gone too far away
I still can't keep the day from ending
No more messed up reasons for me to stay
Well this is not for real
Afraid to feel
I just hit the floor
Don't ask for more
I'm wasting my time
I'm wasting my time
You can't stop the feeling
And there's no reason
Let's make the call
And take it all again
Woah again
Months went by with us pretending
When did our light turn from green to red
I took a chance and left you standing
Lost the will to do this once again
Well this is not for real
Afraid to feel
I just hit the floor
Don't ask for more
I'm wasting my time
I'm wasting my time
You can't stop the feeling
And there's no reason
Let's make the call
And take it all
I'm wasting my time
I'm wasting my time again
Woah again
See you waiting

Inside of me
I look inside of me
try to find who I use to be
I look inside of me
now he is gone
I try to feel inside of me
I feel nothing inside of me
I hide the hurt
keep it all inside of me
took it a little to far
we are who we are
can't change all that's been done
My face down in the dirt
I sleep no more
something here inside of me
forgot what I was here for
nothing inside of me
that will set me free

Is It Real
Duet with Porter Wagoner
Writer Dolly Parton
Copyright 1971
You came into my life at a time when I was down
And I thought I'd never love again but I think different now
You took my hand and helped me up and I thank you for your precious love
And words cannot express the way I feel but is it real
Is it real this love that you have offered me so freely
You tell me that you love me but darling do you really
Don't make me love and lose again don't make me go through that again
I've known that hurt and I know how it feels oh is it real
Well you could mend my broken heart with love as sweet as yours
And I want to believe it's real but how can I be sure
And you could heal the hurt I've known with the love that you have shown
And all the needs you have I fulfill but is it real
Is it real this love that you have...
Is it real

Walk Away
Even if you love me still
I don't wanna know
just walk away and let me go
I have nothing to give you
that you want me to show
the pain is too dark that I feel
and I don't know what is real
I don't deserve to have you here
so don't tell me that you care
I have nothing to give you left to share
just walk away and leave me there
I can't give you something that isn't true
And when your nights are cold
and the sky turns gray
don't look for me to hold
just turn and walk away

Pain
Life is rough,
People might hate,
I rather die then hear others talk about me like I wasn't there to hear them say it,
Why is that every where I go I feel pain, agony, sorrow,
I can't help but think about cutting myself let out all the pain I feel inside of me,
I just wanna scream my head off,
I just can't stand life anymore,
Why bother living if there is nothing all that great to live for,
I just don't wanna feel pain anymore,
I just want it to be washed away in the rain,
Let it drain out all my anger and my hate,
I just wanna be left alone,
I just want my old life back,
Let me be me not what you nor what anyone else wants me to be,
I don't want to feel pain anymore please,
Make it all go away,
Make the pain stop,
Make it all stop.

Revelations
I am lost inside myself
Thoughts foggy and slow
Trying, trying to corrall them
Gather them
Trying to wade through,
Make sense
Separate
Them
Yet...
I can hardly think
To begin with
I am lost inside myself
Or am I lost outside myself
A wandering soul
Misshapen and aimless
In a no man's land
Barren and colorless
Full of
Hopelessness
Full of
Fear
Full of
Sorrow
So much pain
In my shame
I am alone,
Empty,
Gone
To a nowhere
A place with no name
The world is full of suffering
And we are all to blame
Smoke and mirrors
The whole world is a stage
A broken facade
The evil peeks through
Wasting time on nonsense
Like we have something
To prove
Living our days
As if the future is far away
How much time do we
Have left?
Is it years?
Is it hours?
Don't you feel something like death...
Coming to devour
Us all?

I Am Not An Anchor
Forever isn't long enough
I hope that in my dreams
I get the chance to feel as whole
As when your close to me
I am not an anchor
Time has shifted me
A shattered glass
A broken past
A life left to the breeze
But if there is a method
To mend this fractured heart
I'd travel down that broken road
And make a pain-free start
Since I have seen one thousand days
And days have never changed
I walk much sure for I adore
The change that comes my way
Forever isn't twice as bad
As living with denial
A second light
A distant hope
An angel gone for now
I am not an anchor
Time has shifted me
A shattered glass
A broken past
A life left to the breeze
Some say there is a method
To mend a fractured heart
To travel down that broken road
To make a pain-free start
Since I have seen one thousand days
And days have never changed
I walk much sure for I adore
The change that comes my way

Im Not That Way
Hold me... let me dry those tears for you
Be the healer... of your heart he broke in two
I wanna hold you close....
But somethin tells me to wait
Is it too soon to touch,
To reach for the love that you hide away...
Talk to me... tell me with your eyes
What did he do... to make you feel this way inside
Chorus:
Empty words, and promises made
Im not that way
Come to me and dont be afraid
Im not that way
Silence... was meant to be broken
Like waves on the shore
Let your tears wash away these emotions
I cant change the world,
I can change your mind...
Ill always be here, for you until you realize
Empty words, and promises made
Im not that way
Broken trust... a failure in faith
Im not that way
Im not that way
Cause lifes too short for waistin
Waistin precious time
If time is what you need baby
Ill give you all of mine
One day youre gonna look at me
And love is what youll find...
Empty words, and promises made
Im not that way
Come to me
Bring back your faith
Dont be afraid
Im not that way
Im not that way
I want to hold you
I want to hold you close
Let me hear your heart baby

Promises Made
(mark paul/john duarte)
You said goodbye
And broke this heart inside of me
Teardrops fell
Like hours to eternity
The room was silent
As some forgotten melody
Your words of steel
Still echo in my memory
Promises made, promises broken
Promises made, promises broken
I thought we had a chance
To really make it last
Now the future looks to me
Like some unwelcome guest
Ill be alright
As soon as I get over you
But this time it wont be
Such an easy thing to do
Promises made are
Promises broken
Caught up in the sorrow
Tangled in dreams
In the lonely hours
Of silent screams
In the heart of the darkness
I break down
I feel the spirit of you
All around
Promises made are
Promises broken
Promises made are
Promises broken

Gotta Be Forever
Let me hear a little backingtrack
I'm giving it up
I'm giving it up
I know you're wondering where I've been
Sweet songs of love got me comig in
Wanted to leave yeah, just walk away
But this is real and I'm here to stay
So afraid of being sad and blue
Talked to myself and said I'm over you
But now it's time for me to make you see
These chains of love got a hold on me
Chorus:
I never felt this way before
Can't get enough, want more and more
Love will keep together
Got to be forever
Got to be forever
Never knew love would make me feel this way
You make me happy and I'm gonna stay
Whenever life was getting out of hand
I turned to you and you would understand
You lift me up when I'm feeling down
I got my feet back on solid ground
You make me smile when I wanna cry
I'm gonna love you 'til the day I die
(Chorus)
I'm giving it up
I'm giving it up
And I'm here to stay
(Chorus repeat till fade)
