The Race Is On
I feel tears welling up from down deep inside,
Like my hearts got a big break
And a stab of loneliness sharp and painful that I may never shake.
You might think that Im taking it hard since you broke me off with a call,
You might wager that Ill hide in sorrow and I might lay right down and bawl.
Now the race is on and here comes pride up the back stretch,
Heartaches a goin to the inside, my tears are holding back, tryin not to fall.
My hearts our of the running, true love scratched for anothers sake,
The race is on and it looks like heartaches, and the winner loses all.
One day I ventured in love never once suspecting
What the final result would be.
Now I live in fear of waking up each morning,
And finding that youre gone from me.
Theres an aching pain in my heart for the name of the one that I hated to face,
Someone else came out to win her, and I came out in second place.

The Race Is On (set I)
Race is On
----------
I feel tears welling up from down deep inside,
like my heart's gotta be free,
instead of lonliness sharp and painful
that I may never shake.
You might think that I'm taking it hard
since you broke me off with a call,
Well, I'll wager that I'll hide in sorrow and
I might lay right down and ball.
Now the race is on and here comes pride up the back stretch,
heartaches a goin' to the inside,
my tears are holding back,
tryin' not to fall.
My heart's out of the running,
true love scratched for another's sake,
the race is on and it looks like heartaches,
and the winner loses all.

Thats How Heartaches Are Made
(halley / raleigh)
(thats how heartaches are made)
(thats how heartaches are made)
They told me I was such a fool to love you
They say that youre the kind whod never be true
Pretty soon the day would come
When Id be the sorry one
But I said that Im not afraid, well
Thats how heartaches are made
Thats how heartaches are made
I went ahead and my heart opened the door
I gave you so much love no-one could want more
You pretended to be mine
How could you be so unkind?
With all the other girls you played, well
Thats how heartaches are made
Thats how heartaches are made
Thats how heartaches are made
Thats how heartaches are made
I know youre not sincere
And youll never be
But still I want your kisses so desperately
I can never let you go
Baby, you know I know
Every rule of love you disobeyed, well
Thats how heartaches are made
Thats how heartaches are made
Thats how heartcahes are made

Raining On The Inside
When all goodbyes
Are said and done,
And nighttime finds you home,
Are you all right
To spend a night
Of being all alone?
And do you hide
Between the lines
Of conversations past?
A wall of words,
A heart unheard,
That hides behind a mask?
Im raining on the inside;
My heart wells up with tears that start to pour.
Im raining on the inside,
But then your cries of love break through,
And I fall in love with you once more.
When friends who care
Cant be there
To ease away my pain,
And peace of mind,
Its hard to find,
Like sunlight in the rain.
God sees my heart,
The deepest part,
Inside this lonely me,
And reachin in,
His love begins
To heal the heart in me.
Im raining on the inside;
Oh, my heart weels up with tears that start to pour.
Im raining on the inside,
But then your cries of love break through,
And I fall in love with you once more.
Sometimes were raining on the inside,
And our hearts well up with tears that start to pour.
But when were raining on the inside,
Let his cries of love break through,
Know that he loves you, once more....
Sometimes Im raining on the inside,
But then your cries of love break through,
And I fall in love with you once more.

Tears Fall
I stand there trying to screaming
Wanting to disappear
The screams are silent
No one see the sadness be hide the smile
Holding on to my heart afraid to let it go
My tears fall with out my control
It the tears sting my face like acid rain
The wing blows and I fall hitting the ground
And braking in to a million piece
No one there to help and not even the
Kings’ horse men could but me back together again
Tears fall hearts break
Hiding for the earth
Never finding joy
Still there standing screaming a silent
Cry’s waiting for some one to help this sad, sad girl
Alone with no one to help
What people thought was loving girl
The hater for her self grown
The scars on her arms get bigger
And you lose her even more
Tears fall hearts break
Hiding for the earth
Never finding joy
Still there standing screaming a silent
Cry’s waiting for some one to help this sad, sad girl
Tears fall hearts break
With out me what will happen to you?

Take Me To A Dream
Love of my you are
Sunlight, my shining star
All of the world to me
All I could ever need
Lately I can feel youve grown away from me
And inside I pray its not too late to find a remedy
Dont wanna live a lie
I dont wanna say goodbye
So how can I start again
And how will my heart mend
Here I am alone with only memories
So Im searching just to find a way to keep you here with me
So I close my eyes
And I go back in time
When our love was strong
Before our hearts went wrong
I keep holding on to how it used to be
So lay me down and take me to a dream
Dreams that youre holding me
Dreams that wont ever be
Visions of loving you
Wanting to make them true
I find myself believing youll come back to me
Cause Im trying not to feel the pain, that loneliness can bring
So I close my eyes
And I go back in time
When our love was strong
Before our hearts went wrong
I keep holding on to how it used to be
So lay me down and take me to a dream
Its so hard to make it through the day without you
So I pray for night to dream youre here with me, with me
So I close my eyes
And I go back in time
When our love was strong
Before our hearts went wrong
I keep holding on to how it used to be
So lay me down and take me to a dream
So lay me down and take me to a dream

Its A Hard Life
Words and music by freddie mercury
I dont want my freedom
Theres no reason for living with a broken heart
This is a tricky situation
Ive only got myself to blame
Its just a simple fact of life
It can happen to anyone
You win - you lose
Its a chance you have to take with love
Oh yeah - I fell in love
And now you say its over and Im falling apart
Its a hard life
To be true lovers together
To love and live forever in each others hearts
Its a long hard fight
To learn to care for each other
To trust in one another right from the start
When youre in love
I try and mend the broken pieces
I try to fight back the tears
They say its just a state of mind
But it happens to everyone
How it hurts - deep inside
When your love has cut you down to size
Life is tough - on your own
Now Im waiting for something to fall from the skies
And Im waiting for love
Yes its a hard life
Two lovers together
To love and live forever in each others hearts
Its a long hard fight
To learn to care for each other
To trust in one another - right from the start
When youre in love
Yes its a hard life
In a world thats filled with sorrow
There are people searching for love in evry way
Its a long hard fight
But Ill always live for tomorrow
Ill look back on myself and say I did it for love
Yes I did it for love - for love - oh I did it for love

Well Im ready to raise the blinds in this place
Think Ill rejoin the human race
You said yes, now youre wearing my ring
Guess I can stop playinolb.b. king

cause the thrill is back, the heartaches gone
Time stands still, baby love lives on

Now that Im crawling outta my cave
Since you said we were through
Ive been down with a case of the blues

But the thrill is back, the heartaches gone
Time stands still, baby love lives on

And tell him I wont need that prozac after all

Time stands still, baby love lives on
The room spins around, when youre kissinme
The thrill is back like it used to be

Time stands still, baby love lives on
The room spins around, when youre kissinme
The thrill is back like it used to be

Then The Heartaches Begin
(hicks / clarke / nash)
My sadness it is growing
Im sure its started showing
This feelings getting stronger
I cant hold back out much longer
Its swelling deep inside
Emotions I cant hide
Then the heartaches begin
Im telling you
The heartaches begin
I need someone to guide me
Someone to reconcile me
To take away this pain
Before it starts again
But no one listens to me
Cant control whats set in deeply
Chorus
Four stone walls surround me
An empty shells all you see
My former selfs departed
A man whos broken hearted
Loneliness is what I fear
Holding on to all thats dear

til The Heartaches Gone
Let the tears fall like rain
If thats what it takes
To wash away your memory
Let the hurt take its time
I dont mind waiting
If thats the way its gotta be
Ill keep holdin on
til the heartaches gone
All the might have beens
And the never will bes
They can never take your place
But theyre all thats left
Of all that ever mattered to me
And they fill this empty space
And Ill keep holin on
til the heartaches gone
Ill make believe you still love me
til the heartaches gone
Ill pretend you still care
Youll always be here
til the heartaches gone
Baby I can make it through
The pain of losing you
If thats the way its gotta be
Ill keep holdin on
No matter how long

Cant Turn Back The Years
no matter how much you think you want or need it, the past has to remain just that, the past...
Couldve given you everything that you need
But I cannot turn back the years
The perfect love was all you wanted from me
But I cannot turn back the years
So we have to be strong, and Im finding that hard
We have to move on, but no matter how hard I try
If your hearts in pieces, you look for the truth
And when I look deep down inside I know, its too bad I love you
Sometimes. hits me in the morning, hits me at night
That I cannot turn back the years
So I look out my window, turn off my light
But I cannot turn back the years
Cant make it seem easy, when youre all that I see
Cant live in a dream and I wont serenade the truth
People are hurting and theyre looking to me
And I look at you theres nothing more to say, its too bad I love you
But Im never gonna give it up
All that I lived for, all that I dreamed
But I cannot turn back the years
Youre the water I drink, youre the air that I breathe
But I cannot turn back the years
So we have to be strong, and Im finding that hard
We have to move on, but no matter how hard I try
If your hearts in pieces, you look for the truth
And when I look deep down inside I know, its too bad I love you
But Im never gonna give it up

Love Or Nothing
You gotta make up your mind
cause youre running out of time
You know its your game
And the winner takes all
Its time for you to realise
Theres gonna be no compromise
Its gotta be love or nothing at all
Its gotta be love or nothing at all
Ive thought about a new beginning
But you know your hearts not in it
Theres something inside
That aint hearing my call
And each new misty morning
Brings a constant warning
Its gotta be love or nothing at all
Its gotta be love
You give me your love
Or nothing at all
You give me your love
Its no good climbing
In the back seat
In the name of love
Or tryin to be somebody
That you know youre not
Sneakin out the back door
At the dead of night
cause youre never gonna find out
What its really like

2 Hearts
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
The past behind us, its here you belong
cause Im deep inside you, youre deep inside me
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

We Will Cry
(l. stansfield/i. devaney/a. morris)
Chorus:
And we will climb, rise up above the shame
And we wont run, run from each others grace
And we shall stand, stand up against the fear
And we will never, never go back again
And we will cry
What do they know of loneliness and love
A love so strong youd gladly give your soul
They dont see anything but hunger and fear
Fear to lose themselves, deep within themselves
And they hide, they hide behind their eyes
For fear their pride be broken
We have our hearts
To pull throught the pain
To take us to the very edge and push us over
And I cant see any other way but to leave this place
They will never know how good theyve made us feel
Their shallow lives have made us so much stronger
Theyll never feel, the way we feel
They way we stand for one another
So take your useless time and get on with your life
Weve been a passing light and now were passing over
And you will never know how loneliness can feel
For all we felt inside was hunger for each other

Just One More Night
Just one more night , my love
And all that we believe becomes a lie
And loneliness will disappear
With the tears we cried
How could you leave me believin
That its too late to be
All the love the love we were
How can you turn me away
When I stumble in
Help me break your dream of her
I wonder why its goin wrong
Never understood the meaning all along
Somehow I believe in evrything
Came the warning light
And the story ends
And Im in love with you baby
Just one more night , my love
And all that we believe becomes a lie
And loneliness will disappear
With the tears we cried
Would you be leaving tomorrow for someone else
While I die for you inside
Can there be one of us , anyone feel no pain
Dont it hurt to say goodbye
It must be right to let it end
Im playin with pieces of my heart again
Somehow I believe our love will grow
>from the midnight hour to the morning glow
And I believe in you baby
Just one more night ,my love
(break)
Just one more night , my love
And all that we believe become a lie
And loneliness will disappear with the tears we cried (fade)

No More Heartaches
Shut up, sweetheart, I want you to hear
I can no longer love the same thing I fear
I can no longer let myself stay close
To the one thing that hurts me the most
I will not kiss the thorn
Hearts dont need to bleed to know what theyre for
Therell be no more heartaches
Therell be no more heartaches for me
I take back my sweetness
Its overlooked by your lust
My song is unseen
Cause your touch is too tough
I dont think your hands know how to adore
The subtlety of me anymore
I unfasten myself from your side
Slip away, quiet as a sigh
Therell be no more heartaches
Therell be no more heartaches for me
Beds filled with suspicion
Hearts filled with spite
We sleep with thieves
And forego our sights
Too quick to hold
Someones word over our own
You may be cool
You may know how to flatter
In the end (all I have is matter (? ))
Therell be no more heartaches
Therell be no more heartaches
No more heartache anymore
Anymore, oh oh oh, for me.

They Dont Break em Like They Used To
(roger brown/jason sellers)
Youre here in my arms right where you say you wanna be
While across the room I watch the one who set you free
It didnt take me long to mend the heart she tore in two
I guess they just dont break em like they used to
I bet she thought that wounded pride of yours would never heal
But you dont have one single scar as far as I can feel
And I see nothing but perfection when I look at you
I guess they just dont break em like they used to
They dont break em like they used to, darling thats for sure
Were living proof theres nothing that true love cant cure
We put the pieces back together now youre good as new
I guess they just dont break em like they used to
All the tears have disappeared without a trace
Makes me think that heartaches dont last as long these days
We put the pieces back together now youre good as new
I guess they just dont break em like they used to
They dont break em like they used to, darling thats for sure
Were living proof theres nothing that true love cant cure
We put the pieces back together now youre good as new
I guess they just dont break em like they used to
I guess they just dont break em like they used to

Another Heart Break
Worst fear realized
as i feel my world crumbling around me
with you as the source of my pain
and all this means nothing now
all what i built is coming down
decayed of walls broken down moments
as i cry out for help
this is a me i thought i buried
but its back as i break out in tears
over the sorrow of missing
missing what we had
thought it would last forever
but you ended it
now am in pain
but not what am use to
oh no now its an emotional melt down
as you walked out of my life
i see who i truly am
this little boy hiding emotions
looking for someone to understand him
someone to love him
as he conceal his pain and past from friends
when deep inside his just an out of control
maniac losing his head
as he tries to change through his words
till you came along and crumbled it all
i was never the type to fall in love
yet now am heart broken as you say goodbye
and the tears begin
as i go back to being this concealed beast
everyone seems to fear
all when i just needed a friend
well no more back to being this cold guy
as i walk this streets alone

This Old Heart Of Mine
Ooh, this old heart of mine been broke a thousand times
Each time you break away I think you're gone to stay
Lonely nights that come, memories that flow
Bringing you back again, hurting me more and more
Maybe it's my mistake to show this love I feel inside
'Cause each day that passes by,
You've got me never knowin' if I'm comin' or goin' but I
I love you-ou-ou, yes I do
This old heart (ooh) darlin' is weak for you
I love you-ou-ou, yes I do
These old arms of mine miss having you around
Make these tears inside start falling down
Always with half a kiss, you remind me of what I miss
Though I try to control myself
Like a fool I start grinnin' 'cause my head starts spinnin' 'cause I
I love you-ou-ou, yes I do
This old heart (ooh) darlin' is weak for you
I love you-ou-ou, yes I do
I try hard to hide my hurt inside
This old heart of mine always keeps me cryin'
The way you're treatin' me leaves me incomplete
You're here for the day, gone for the week
But if you leave me a hundred times
A hundred times I'll take you back
I'm yours whenever you want me
I'm not too proud to shout it, tell the world about it 'cause I
I love you-ou-ou
This old heart (this old heart) is weak for you
I love you-ou-ou
This old heart (this old heart) is weak for you
I love you-ou-ou
This old heart (this old heart) is weak for you

Teardrops Will Fall
I read your letter, darlin'
Tears filled my eyes
All of the promises you made were nothing but lies
So I turned your photograph around face to the wall
And when I dim the lights in my room tonight
Teardrops will fall
Teardrops will fall tonight
Tears I can't hide
Tears that I'd rather keep
Deep down inside
Tears fall
And love is gone beyond these walls
And when I dim the lights in my room tonight
Teardrops will fall
I'm gonna pray tonight, baby
Hopin' you will hear
And maybe you'll write all those wrongs
And dry each tear
I sit alone tonight
Hopin' you will call
And when I dim the lights in my room tonight
Teardrops will fall
Teardrops will fall tonight
Tears I can't hide
Tears that I'd rather keep
Deep down inside
Tears fall
And love is gone beyond these walls
And when I dim the lights in my room tonight
Teardrops will fall
Teardrops will fall tonight
Tears I can't hide
Tears that I'd rather keep
Deep down inside
Tears fall
And love is gone beyond these walls
And when I dim the lights in my room tonight
When I dim the lights in my room tonight
