Painted Smile
I can sing
I can dance
Just give me a chance
To do my turn for you
Theres a change Ill slip
But with stiff upper lip
Ill sing a song for you
Laughter is free
But its so hard to be a jester
All the time
And no ones believing
Im the same when Im bleeding
And I hurt all the time deep inside
Ive shed a tear for the lying
While everyday trying to
Paint this smile for you
Backflips, cartwheelings,
Somersault feelings
What is there left to do
Laughter is free
But its so hard for me,
A jester all the time
No ones believing
Im the same when Im bleeding
And I hurt all the time deep inside
Roll up, roll up
Enjoy the show
Pick me up, wind me up, put me down
Youll see me go
And this painted smile
May miss for a while
Then come back and steal your show
I sing, I dance
Give me a change to do my turn for you
With backflips, cartwheelings,
Somersault feelings
Whats there left to do
Laughter is free
But its so hard to be a jester
All the time
No ones believing
Im the same when Im bleeding
And I hurt all the time deep inside
Laughter is free
But its so hard to be a jester
All the time
No ones believing
Im the same when Im bleeding
And I hurt all the time deep inside

Too Far
Written: kylie minogue
Caught up in this house
Trapped my very own self in the snare of my mind
No more space than a slither
What Id give for deep breath inside
Where the chaos has me captive
Where theres no exit sign
Where I fuel the stupid fire with these feelings of mine
Lured into this den
Its bitter and I want the sweetness again
A taste that I agree with
Get me past these perils and to my eden
Where the silence is a comfort
Where there is no one else
Where Ill be up from under and can uncurl myself.
Too many, too much, too hard
Help me, this time I went too far
Too many, too much, too hard
Help me, this time I went too far
Can I smash all of this open
Can I pass the hurt with a little pain
I wanna see all of it crumble
And start afresh and over again
My eyes are wide open
But I can hardly see
Will laughter find a way around these silent tears
Too many, too much, too hard
Help me, this time I went too far
Too many, too much, too hard
Help me, this time I went too far

Offerings
Offerings...
Look what youre offering
By your hands, youve emptied my soul
But Ill find some time
Ill find somewhere to grow
Look out now
Has your mind been changed by the loss of this memory?
Roll on
Youve got some time on your hands for where you are now
Bleeding the offerings
Yes you are now
Bleeding the offerings
My time to sit you all down
My time to save you all now
My time to lay it all out
My time
See what youre offering
See I open my eyes
Your face seems to speak aloud
Seeing it all in my eyes
I see some things in your eyes that have never been shown before
Roll on
Believing it all in my eyes
Youve got these needs but Ive got somewhere to go now now
So leave it alone, its my time
With so little time its so hard to find somewhere to go
Bleeding the offerings
Yes you are now
Bleeding the offerings
My time to sit you all down
My time to save you all now
My time to lay it all out
My time to save your souls again
My time to sit you all down now
My time to save you all now
My time to lay it all out
My time

Hitting reality
girl, you been blinded,
by lies, hurt and pain,
can't you see?
this is not you,
this person you pretend to be,
in a world you use to love,
when did you become,
so afraid to live,
and be yourself?
all of this hurt,
that you carry inside of you,
it time to let it go,
be free from it,
and learn,
not all was bad,
it just shows you,
who you can trust,
and who you can't,
not everybody can be trusted,
this is a different time,
you are not that scared little girl,
you have the power,
to change what you don't like,
so look deep inside,
and finally see the good,
you are so much more,
than you give yourself credit for,
be who you want,
if you fall,
God will catch you,
it's your time to fly.

Hard Feelings
Written by billy burnette and jeff silbar.
Now Im supposed to understand
Dont you think youre asking too much
What kind of fool do you think I am
Dont you think youve hurt me enough
Still you want to be friends
But I dont want to be just friends
So before you start with your sympathy
Just turn around and go
And if he breaks your heart, dont come crying to me
I wont be there anymore
Go ahead and cry your tears
cause Im not gonna dry your tears
Ive got hard feelings
When it comes to you and me
And these hard feelings
Just wont let me be
These hard feelings run deep
These hard feelings run deep
Ill be alright, dont you worry about me
Ill take care of myself
The first thing I need is you out of my life
The last thing I need is your help
Sorry I met you
Sorry I met you
I will forget you, someday
Ive got hard feelings
When it comes to you and me
And these hard feelings
Just wont let me be
These hard feelings run deep
These hard feelings run deep
Ive got hard feelings
When it comes to you and me
And these hard feelings
Just wont let me be
These hard feelings run deep
These hard feelings
Hard feelings
When it comes to you and me
And these hard feelings
Just wont let me be
These hard feelings run deep
These hard feelings run deep
Hard feelings
Just wont let me be

Me and Laughter Together Always
Sometimes I laugh out loud
Showing you that I could care less what you have to say
All that matters is that my feelings are hidden
Hiding from those who judge me and those who love me
And Laughter helps me do just that
Laughter is my better half
Laughter stands with me when I’m bored
Laughter comforts me when I want to cry
He keeps me company through grief and through happiness
For better or worse, in sickness and health, through thick and thin
I love Laughter and Laughter loves me back
And yet you don’t know why Laughter makes Me
Look deep into my eyes when I laugh and you’ll see
You will find all the hate, all the pain, and all the hurt
But if that’s all you see
You’re not looking deep enough
Look past the tears that I won’t allow to flow
Look past the memories that I can’t let go of
And when you see through all the hate, all the pain and all the hurt
You'll find Me
I cover Me up with Laughter
There are none who can see the true Me
They can’t see through my Laughter
And if you should happen to see Me
I won’t need Laughter to hide anymore
Because I can cry on your shoulder
I can smile and enjoy you company without a single sound
Only then, Laughter won’t be my protector
Until then, it’s Me and Laughter together always
I hide my feelings through Laughter
So if you’re trying to figure out what I’m thinking,
Laugh with me and you will then see...-Me

Where Do We Go From Here?
Me, I'm just running blind
Can't give you advice you need this time
You say of her, you can' decide
And yet you sit and watch her cry
Friend you're like the wind that blows
Like the sea, you come and go
I'm not trying to tell you
How I think that it should be
Because I know deep down that you're yearning to be free
And you're only gonna think of number one
So what am I to say?
No matter what you do, you're gonna hurt her anyway
When you know that your love has died
And you know how you feel inside
Well you've got to face up and show
What you're feeling when you know
Your parting words will be so untrue
Just as long as it don't come down on you
And you're scared to lay it on the line
Ah just in case you change your mind
I'm not trying to tell you
How I think that it should be
Because I know deep down that you're yearning to be free
And you're only gonna think of number one
So what am I to say?
No matter what you do, you're gonna hurt her anyway
When you know that your love has died
And you know how you feel inside
Well you've got to face up and show
What you're feeling when you know

When You Know Your Love Has Died

Cant give you the advice you need this time

And youre only gonna think of no 1.

Hurt
My heart is screaming,
I see it fading,
I must be dreaming,
Or breathing wrong,
But this is not true that I am hurt,
You have pushed me enough,
Its my turn to take a stand up,
If you can listen to what I need to say,
What I have to say may effect you and I,
What made me happy was being with you,
What made me sad was see you go,
I feel hurt in the inside and outside,
I am bleeding, screeching, heaving, leaving, I am lost,
Lost myself in trans of time,
I am not afraid to cry,
I will try not to die in this place,
You had your fair chance to flew the coop,
Your chance to be free to fly,
I more hurt to see my love ones die in my eyes.

If I'd Been The One
I've been lost inside
Empty space in my heart
And some thing never change
Oh,
How it hurts me and
How it's tearin' me apart
And it just goes on and on
Can you read my mind?
Take a good look at my face
Could you take the time
Just to stand here in my place?
What if I'd been the one to say goodbye?
Goodbye
Could you smile when inside you just want to cry?
Look inside
Can you read my mind?
Oh, Oh
When I hear your name
Feel so cold deep inside
Still it's hard to explain, oh,
What your love meant to me
They say,
"Time will heal the pain"
But it just goes on forever
Can you read my mind?
Have you closed the door on love?
Can you be so blind?
Did you think I'd just give up?
What if I'd been the one to say goodbye?
Goodbye
Could you smile when inside you just want to cry?
Want to cry
What if I'd been the one to say goodbye?
Goodbye
Could you smile when it hurts so deep inside?
And it never fades away
Fade away
Time can erase the reasons why
Count my mistakes,
And the heartaches,
Since you said goodbye
What if I'd been the one to say goodbye?
Goodbye
Could you smile when inside you just want to cry?
Want to cry
What if I'd been the one to say goodbye?
Goodbye
Could you smile when it hurts so deep inside?
And it never fades away
Never fades away
No it don't fade away

A Note of Sorrow
I give up,
I'm sick of this shit.
Wandering lost,
Spending life in the pits.
Consider this a premonition,
A forewarning of sorts.
This is my resignation,
I'm sick of the hurt.
Sick of running,
Sick of trying to hide.
Sick of the assholes,
And the demons inside.
Sick of the fights,
Why do I try?
Sick of the sorrow,
I wish I could fly.
I'm so sick of love,
Hell it never lasts.
So sick of crying,
Wish i could forget my past.
Sick of the future,
It always goes wrong.
Sick of the anger,
I sing a sad song.
Why do I try?
When I always lose.
Why do I bother?
I don't want to choose.
Why do I fight?
I can hardly stand.
Why do I show?
I've got no fans.
Every time I love,
I seem to lose.
Every time I hate,
I receive a new bruise.
Every time I try to walk,
I'm forced to crawl.
Every time I smile,
I tend to fall.
I'm dead inside,
Just an empty shell.
Burn me alive,
I'm already in hell.
Don't cry for me,
There isn't a reason.
You'll forget about me,
At the turn of the season.
I watch this blade,
Slice across my skin.
I feel no pain,
Though I'm bleeding within.
The end is near,
I feel it coming,
I'm on the path,
And I'm running.
I watch my life,
Pass before my eyes,
I'll be gone,
By sunrise.
I've waited so long,
For this day to come.
I've fought it so long,
I can no longer run.
I've lost my mind,
Hell I've lost it all.
I'm done shedding tears,
You can watch me fall.
Now I'm bleeding,
My wounds are deep.
Soon I'll be sleeping,
Sleeping so deep.
I recall my scars,
Some shallow some steep.
Each with a memory,
Too many to keep.
I cover my heart,
Too broken to heal.
So much for love,
Too much to deal.
The light is fading,
Down into black.
Cut to the bone,
Its like theres a blade in my back.
So here it is,
This is my last breathe.
Looks like once again,
I've failed the test.
I'm passing away,
To where I don't know.
I'm passing away,
I'm so ready to go.

The Partner
I will take you
To the place you want to bloom
Just give me time
To pass the line
Of me and you
I will give you
Everything you lost in blue
Just bring me clue
To make it true
In dawn hue
What we are crying for
Sometimes it’s hard to live this way
But we could find laughter
In the end of grueling day
What we are searching for
Sometimes we going out nowhere
But someday we’ll understand
The calling of this strange emotion
I will show you
The dream you never thought you could
Just hold my hand
And cross the land
Of thousand chances
I will hold you
Won’t let anything hurt you
Just say what you want
And please allow
Me to stay
What we are trying for
Sometimes it’s hard keeping the faith
But we could be stronger
Because hope would never leave
What we are waiting for
Sometimes to the point of patience
But if we still desire
Maybe it’s time to take a turn
I will love you
Like no one else would do
Just be what you are
Don’t change for someone
Who doesn’t care
I will need you
To be the light of my life
Just feel me now
In falling snow
And you’ll know
What we are hiding for
Sometimes it’s hard to face the truth
But we could be better
If we could look inside the heart
What we are fighting for
Sometimes it’s useless to struggle
But we never know how
The destiny decide to intervene

Same Old Song
Many sang these lines of love
All of them sang from heart
Each one means it from deep
Yes their love is great than all
No one is wrong in that sense
So let me sing it again for you
For whom my heart beats loud
Your smile made clouds to flee
No clue why you had chosen me
All I can sing is 'my love is true'
Many times this heart got hurt
By everyone whom it loved
I fear it may be the same again
But let me sing this song for you
Its the same old song, my love...
Sun may set, but not my love
Stars my fall, but not my love
Seasons may change, but not me
You too may change, but not me
Deep inside me, the song plays
Rivers may dry, but not my love
You grow old, but not my love
Flowers may die, but not my love
I too will die, but not my love
Deep inside me, the song plays
Rain pours and leaves, but not me
Your shade too may leave, but not me
You may doubt on me, but not me
Cause my love, I am no more me
Deep inside me, your song plays
So leave but please don't look back...

Ingorance
I try so hard just to be nice to you
but then you ignore me making me blue
i am dying more and more everyday
i change in every way
i feel like bleeding from my eyes
I am going isane inside
I would do anything for you but you just ignore me
i am stuck my visions gone blurry
WHy do you have to hurt me soo much when all im doing is trying to help
Im just being your friend and your being something else
why why must you hurt me so
You torment me with out even trying
You are killing me i'm dying
i go on everyday with a fake smile
Wishing for just a little while
that you'll change your mind and be nice to me
but dont and everytime it brings on the insanity
suicide flashes through my head every minute
i can barely cope with it
maybe that rope around my neck will feel good
maybe the bullet through my chest will take the pain i gained from you
i am screaming on the inside and no one can hear my call
do i matter at all
i am tired of trying so i think i'll give up
with life i've had enough

Time To Fear
Picture me on the edge of sadness
I was too blind to see the truth
My hearts beating fast I'm not alone
but you're not there
Friendly smiles steal a glance
But me I'm furious inside
Can I get out of here now
Everything is falling down on me
And deep inside my mind I know I love you
Time is that all I really got to fear
From all these precious moments of my life
Time is that all I really got to fear
From all these precious moments of my life
You say I do always wrong
So you must hurt me again
I feel so sorry
but you do not
And you're not here
I question why I left you
Ain't love when under your sway
Will I be safe in here now
Eveything is falling down on me
And deep inside my mind I know I miss you
Time is that all I really got to fear
From all these precious moments of my live
Time is that all I really got to fear
From all these precious moments of my live
Time is that all I really got to fear time time
Time is that all I really got to fear
From all these precious moments of my live
Time is that all I really got to fear
From all these precious moments of my live

What Hurt the Most Is
What hurt the most is
That you are making me jealous by dating someone else and not me
I do everything I could to prove too you that we belong together, but
It turns out that nothing I make you give me a chance
What hurt the most is
You breaking my heart every time I tell you I like you
I just want to cry and be sad
If I know I can't have you
I can't never love anyone else, but you
I want to be with you forever
Nothing will ever make me stop loving you
So please understand how I feel and give me a second chance
I can't stand it anymore
What hurt the most is
Being around you and getting to know you so well
I pretend that I'm ok when I'm not
When I'm around you, I act like I'm ok because
I don't want you to know how I'm feeling
It's hard to deal with the pain not having you everywhere I go
It's still harder to getting up, getting dressed, and living with this regret
If you give me another chance, I can make it right this time
What hurt the most is
I didn't make the right choice that day
I just talk, smile and laugh
I rude my only chance to be with you
This is one regret that I can't never forget
If this won't work with all I'm trying to say or do to get you to be with my side
I need to let go and move on
I want to spend all my time with you before I won't never see you again
What hurt the most is
Being around you and getting to know you so well
I pretend that I'm ok when I'm not
When I'm around you, I act like I'm ok because
I don't want you to know how I'm feeling
It's hard dealing with the pain not having you everywhere I go
It's still harder getting up, getting dressed, and living with this regret
If you give me another chance, I can make it right this time
What hurt the most is

In Another Place & Time
I cant lie
I was attracted too
Somehow the feelings
Were so strong inside
But Im not free to be
In love with you maybe
Things would be different
In another place and time
And I cant give you
All you want me to
And I know you deserve
The best from me
But I cant give you more
Of all that you long for
I would have loved you
In another place and time
Dreams arent always bound to come true
But thats no reason you should cry
cos I would have loved you
Really loved you
In another place and time
Im hurting deep inside
Just want you to know
Oh, I would have loved you
Oh yeah, in another place and time
Fate cant always be led by you
The time aint right for you and i
In another place and time
In another place and time...

Seeing You Dying, Hurts
Ever wonder, just a ponder
what life would be like
if we were told we had little to live
tears and fears, mind blowing
what to do, no time to go
the anger, the pain, the stress
how long to go, no one knows
could be fast, maybe slow and last
forever we want to live
we pray for long life and healthiness
why do we get picked, not our choice
people been there some survive.others don't
thinking where life should go
quit the job, see the world
sit and moan, don't frown
get on your feet live it well
happiness extents life
be free and enjoy those days
number as they are
limited as you go, be with the ones who care
for they will suffer the most
living without you
give them memories to share
do not spare, they do care
pictures and stories last forever
good and bad, tears and laughter will fall
missing you will be so hard
been together for all your life
the world will be so lost
without you there
have to find away to go on
it's not the same, things will change
lives will go on
never let go, you been told
it's so hard to let you go
time so cruel, it's running out
please forgive me if I cry
your a big part of our lives
stay around and have some fun
life is grand and so are you
give it all, don't let time end
love makes time, time makes life
I will smile till the end
cry to myself, show no pain
the hurt so hidden
makes me think
why not me, why you

Why Am I Alone?
Why am I feeling alone?
Invisable and feeling like I don't belong,
I'm hurting inside,
But I musn't show,
Everything inside of me is screaming,
'It's ok to not be ok.'
It's not, you live in hurt and destruction,
I want it all to end,
All this pain and sorrow,
I want it to go away,
I live in fearof myself,
Wondering who will be my next victim,
My anger is hard to control,
Little outbursts all the time,
Then I'm ready to explode!
Don't wanna hurt nobody,
So I keeped myself locked up,
Hiding all my anger and hurt,
I cry alone, I cry silently, I cry inside of me,
If I cry around others, I make excuses up,
But people are starting to see,
All of the hurt inside of me.

Want
i'm always wanting more
anything I haven't got
everything I want it all
i just can't stop
planning all my days away
never find new ways to stay
never feel enough today
tomorrow must be more
more drink more dreams
more bed more drugs
more lust more lies
more hate more love
more fear more fun
more pain more flesh
more stars more smiles
more fame more sex
however hard I want
i know deep down inside
i'll never really get
more hope or any more time
any more time
any more time
any more time
i want the sky to fall in
i want lightning and thunder
i want fire instead of rain
i want the world to make me wonder
want to walk on water
take a trip to the moon
oh give me all this
and give me it soon
more drink more dreams more drugs
more lust more lies more love
however hard I want
i know deep down inside
i'll never really get
more hope or any more time
any more time
any more time

Still In Love With You
(Travis Tritt)
Tell me why do you love to make me cry
Is there a reason why you treat me so unkind
It seems you try to hurt me with everything you do
I guess you could call me crazy 'cause I'm still in love with you
Tell me why is your heart as cold as ice
Oh is there a demon hidden just behind your eyes
Well I dream someday you'll love me but that dream just don't come true
But that don't keep me from wishin' 'cause I'm still in love with you
There was a time I thought my love would set you free
But now you say all that's binding you is me
How can that be
Tell me why do I go on believing your lies
And why everytime you hurt me that I'm always so surprised
I know that I should give up, find somebody new
But it's a hopeless situation 'cause I'm still in love with you
Girl there was a time I thought my love would set you free
But now you say all that's binding you is me
Girl how can that be
Tell me why do I go on believing your lies
And why everytime you hurt me that I'm always so surprised
I know that I should give up, find somebody new
But it's a hopeless situation 'cause I'm still in love with you
Oh girl still in love with you
'Cause I'm still in love with you
