The Last One To Know
(matraca berg, jane mariash)
I didnt see the fire burn to ashes.
I couldnt feel the winds of change.
I was lost inside the passion,
Blinded by the memory of a flame.
I guess I shouldve felt it when you touched me.
I shouldve seen it in your eyes.
But I believed you really loved me .
Why cant I believe youve said goodbye.
Oh why is the last one to know
The first one to cry and the
Last to let go.
Why is the one left behind
The one left alone with no one to hold.
It would be easier to face the morning,
If you were holding me tonight.
But you left me without a warning.
Holding onto a heartache while shes
Holding you tight.
Repeat chorus

Shouldve Been The One
My baby, shouldve been the one
Last night I was so scared I couldnt close my eyes
You still live in me
Some how I made it through the night
Rescued by the break of day, once again
I know someones in your heart, its pulling me apart
But I guess Im the one to blame (its so hard)
And its so hard (so hard) holding back the tears now youve
Dissapeared
How I long to hold you near
Chorus:
Oh I shouldve been the one whos with you now
Shouldve been the one thats feeling proud
I failed you now
Oh I shouldve read the signs in your eyes
Shouldve had the sense to realise
Ive lost you now
I see you, laughing out loud standing in the crowd
The same crowd I used to know
But its too late now to change anything
Ive lost everything
Gotta learn to let you go
Chorus
I shouldve been the light in your eyes (shouldve been the light)
Shouldve been the fire in your smile (shouldve been the fire)
I shouldve been your spirit and your guide
I wonder do you think of me? (do you think of me? )
Maybe you shed a tear for me (shed a tear for me)
I realise I paid the price but nothings gonna change the way I fell
For
You
Oh I shouldve been the one whos with you now
Shouldve been the one whos feeling proud
Girl Ive failed you now
Shouldve read the signs in your eyes
Shouldve had the sense to realise
Ive lost you now
I know I let you down, baby had to fool around
Oh I shouldve been the one whos with you now
Shouldve been the one whos feeling proud
I failed you now
I shouldve read the signs, baby shouldve realised
Oh I shouldve read the signs in your eyes
Shouldve had the sense to realise
Ive lost you now
I know I let you down, baby had to fool around.

Holding On To Nothin'
We're holding on to nothing left to hold onto
I'm so tired of holding on to nothin'
The years have shown no kindness
For the hard times we've been through
We've squeezed the life from every dream
And still go right on bluffin'
With really nothin' left to hold onto
Chorus:
Oh why do we keep holding on with nothing left to hold onto
Lets be honest with each other
That's the least that we can do
I feel guilty when they envy me and you
We're holding on with nothing left to hold onto
We were young and foolishly mistaken
Victoms of a passion much too strong to be denied
With only tears to show for all the years that we've been fakin'
God only knows how long how hard we've tried
Repeat Chorus
We're holding on with nothing left to hold onto

The Flame
I'll never be far from home
Talkin' on the telephone
You told me it's over, you made up your mind,
I'm part of the life that you're leaving behind
I'm left holding the torch
And the heat from the flame,
Only ease me a pain
Don't you know how much it hurts,
You took all i had and you threw it away
I'm left holding the flame, yes i am
Holding the flame once again
I'm left holding the flame, yes i am
Holding the flame once again
Nomatter what you say, it hurts
You didn't had to make it worse
It wouldn't be better as you told me yourself,
Instead that you left to somebody else
Maybe i could understand
You'd been staying with another man
Day isn't long and nights can be lonely
I wasn't there and you needed to hold me
I'm left holding the torch
And the heat from the flame,
Only ease me a pain
Don't you know how much it hurts,
You took all i had and you threw it away
I'm left holding the flame, yes i am
Holding the flame once again
I'm left holding the flame, yes i am
Holding the flame once again
I'll never be far from home
Talkin' on the telephone
You told me it's over, you made up your mind.
I'm part of the life that you're leaving behind.
I'm left holding the torch
And the heat from the flame,
Only ease me a pain
Don't you know how much it hurts,
You took all i had and you threw it away
I'm left holding the flame, yes i am
Holding the flame once again
I'm left holding the flame, yes i am
Holding the flame once again
I'm left holding the flame, yes i am
Holding the flame once again
I'm left holding the flame, yes i am
Holding the flame once again
I'm left holding the flame, yes i am

Cupids Trick
Shes shaking down
Im absent and numb from shock
Reaching around for the hands of the clock
Shouldve lied
Lit me up, its my lie
Shouldve lit me up, its my lie
Shouldve lit me up, its my lie
Shouldve lit me up
Cupids trick comes
Down to shake and deal
The stupid kick that makes me real
Shouldve lied
Lit me up, its my lie
Shouldve lit me up, its my lie
Shouldve lit me up, its my lie
Shouldve lit me up
Shes shaking down

So, kick me, cane me
Then Ill know
Why
Lit me up, its my lie
Shouldve lit me up, its my lie

Shouldve Been Me
(mark paul)
There she goes with a smile on her face
Riding right next to you
Goin out to all those places
You used to take me to
Wearin your jacket like it was her own
I used to wear it so well
Why on earth did I let you go
If I hadnt Id be with you still
Call it jealousy, call me a fool
But its more than my eyes wanna see
cause it shouldve been me
With you tonight
It shouldve been me
There by your side
Seein you both is hard to believe
cause it shouldve been me
Flashin that ring in everyones face
The one I gave back last week
I wonder if youre tellin her things
You used to whisper to me
To say its over dont work anymore
cause its more than my heart wants to feel
It shouldve been me
With you tonight
It shouldve been me
There by your side
Seein you both is hard to believe
cause it shouldve been me
She looks so satisfied
So close to you that i
Cant help but wonder why
I said goodbye last night
As tears drop from my eyes

Well Sweep Out The Ashes
(joyce allsup)
We know its wrong to let this fire burn between us
Weve got to stop this wild desire in you and in me
So well let the flame burn once again until the thrill is gone
Then well sweep out the ashes in the morning
Were two people caught up in the flame that has to die out soon
I didnt mean to start this fire and neither did you
So tonight when you hold me tight well let the fire burn on
And well sweep out the ashes in the morning
Each time when we meet we both agree that its for the last time
But out of your arms Im out of my mind
So well taste the thrill of stolen love tonight until the dawning
And well sweep out the ashes in the morning
Were two people caught up in the flame that has to die out soon
I didnt mean to start this fire and neither did you
So tonight when you hold me tight well let the fire burn on
And well sweep out the ashes in the morning
Yes well taste the thrill of stolen love tonight until the dawning
And well sweep out the ashes
Well sweep out the ashes
Well sweep out the ashes in the morning

Tonight
Verse one (kandi):
Come a little bit closer and look into my eyes,
If only for a moment, boy dont be surprised.
I want you right here next to me,
So tell me we can spend some time.
So I can hold you softly,
In these gentle arms of mine.
And the moonlights gazing,ooh,
Shining on my window pane,
Beaming down on the midnight hour,
I hear the sound of rain.
Chorus:
Tonight, tonight, ooh...
Tonight, tonight, ooh...
Verse two (tamika):
So why dont you stay awhile,
I cant help it if you put me in a daze boy.
But you look so good to me,
In your satin pjs.
So lets make love by candlelight,
And listen to the quiet storm.
As I kiss you in the places,
That make your body warm.
Repeat chorus
Break:
Im holding you
(repeat x6)
Holding you tight all through the night
(repeat x2)
Looks like its gonna rain
(repeat x4)
Holding you tight all through the night

What A Day
A piece of mail
A letter head
A piece of hair
From a human head
Theyre sayin to me
I shouldve killed it
I shouldve killed it
I shouldve killed it before
Youre right, youre right
Kill the body and the head will die
Theyre laughin at me
I shouldve learned it
I shouldve learned it
I shouldve learned it before
-what a day, what a day
If you can look it in the face
And hold your vomit
A wet sneeze and a no left turn
A row of teeth and an encouraging word
Beneath a mile of skin
I shouldve noticed it
I shouldve noticed it
I shouldve noticed it before
What a day
What a day
What a day
Dont you touch it

When I Loved Her
Well, she didnt look as pretty as some others I have known
And she wasnt good at conversation when we were alone
But she had a way of making me believe that I belonged
And it felt like coming home, when I found her
She seemed to be so proud of me just walking holding hands
And she didnt think that money was the measure of a man
And we seemed to fit together when I held her in my arms
And it left me feelin warm, when I loved her.
Chorus:
cause she brightened up the day like the early morning sun
And she made what I was doin seem worth while
Its the closest thing to living that I guess Ive ever known
And it made me wanna smile, when I loved her.
I know some of us were born to cast our fortunes to the winds
And I guess Im bound to travel down a road that never ends
But I know Ill never look upon the likes of her again
And Ill never understand why I lost her
Chorus:
cause she brightened up the day like the early morning sun
And she made what I was doin seem worth while
Its the closest thing to living that I guess Ive ever known
And it made me wanna smile, when I loved her.

Whats She Like
Whats she like when she turns around to kiss you goodnight? /
When she wakes up in the morning by your side? / whats she like?
Whats she like? / the yellow moon or the deep blue of the sea? /
Do you feel the same way you did when it was me? / whats she like?
Oh Ive been holding on / Ive been holding on for far too long /
Ive been holding on / Ive been holding on much too long.
Whats she like when youre making love and stars are in her eyes? /
When youre looking for the answers in her smile? / whats she like?
Oh Ive been holding on / Ive been holding on for far too long /
Ive been holding on / Ive been holding on much too long / too long.
I never knew I could love somebody the way I loved you /
I never thought Id be the broken-hearted /
Well, nothing hurts you like the truth.
So whats she like when she turns to you, when push comes to shove? /
When she whispers in your ear that shes in love? / whats she like?
Oh Ive been holding on / Ive been holding on for far too long /
Ive been holding on / Ive been holding on much too long /
So whats she like?

Failure
Maybe i, I didnt seem to have a thing left to say
I bottled it far away
Maybe i, I tried too hard to find someone to blame
Maybe its me who changed
And now, Im left with nothing again
So what if I lost everything
Would you want me if I was a failure
So what if I lost everything
Would you be there even when I am gone
Maybe i, I didnt seem to give everything away
Not because I needed you to stay, and i
I couldnt face the fears I left far behind
I try to answer every question to why
Im left with nothing again
So what if I lost everything
Would you want me if I was a failure
So what if I lost everything
Would you be there even when I am gone
Maybe you couldnt see
All the pain inside of me
And now I feel like this was all for nothing
cause Im left with nothing, Im left with nothing again
So what if I lost everything
Would you want me if I was a failure
So what if I lost everything
Would you want me if I was a failure
So what if I lost everything
Would you be there even when I am gone
So what if I lost everything
Would you want me if I was a failure

Why Aint I Running
More info about this song in the song database
I can hear that highway calling
As I watch the sunrise crawling across her shoulder
This is usually goodbye
And yet those words I just cant find here as I hold her
Shes like no other woman
That I have known before
And it aint me to see the morning sun
From this side of the door
Chorus:
Why aint I running, why aint I gone
How does she hold me without holding on
In love or a fight shes stronger than strong
Somethings not right if there aint nothing wrong
Its got me wondering, why aint I running
Why aint I gone
All those words I left behind me
Praying they would never find me and my freedom
But if they stood right here beside me
They would never recognize me for all that shes done
Once happiness was only
Whenever I was on my own
So now why do I feel lonely
Any time that Im alone
Repeat chorus
No, theyve never built a wall that high
Or made a chain that strong
And God aint never made a place
I felt like I belong

(Oh, holding)

(Oh)
Before you go
I'd like to say
You give me so much satisfaction
Started up a chain reaction
Tryin' to work out in my mind
A way to let you know
Oh darling
You're asking me to be strong
But I can't see the wrong
In what I'm doing
Just want to hold you every day
Locked inside this feeling
I want you here to stay

Cause I'm holding (I'm holding)
I'm holding on
To the pieces of a dream
Holding
I'm holding on (Still holding)
Still holding on
To the pieces of a dream
What can I do
But to be true
I'm getting such a strong sensation
And it's not my imagination
It's not me to pretend
So try and understand
Oh darling
My heart is chosen to belong
And I don't see the wrong
In what I'm feeling
I know it's time to say goodbye
But I'm not living in a lie
I want you here to stay

Oh, baby

Red Hill Mining Town
]from father to son
The blood runs thin
Our faces frozen (still) against the wind
The seam is split
The coal face cracked
The lines are long
And theres no going back
Through hands of steel
And a heart of stone
Our labor day has come and gone
And you leave us holding on
In red hill town
As the lights go down
Im hanging on
Youre all thats left to hang on to
Im holding on
Youre all thats left to hang on to
The glass is cut
The bottle runs dry
Our love runs cold
In the caverns of the night
Were wounded by fear
Injured in doubt
I can lose myself
Im holding on
Youre all thats left to hold on to
And we scorch the earth
Set fire to the sky
Stoop so low to reach so high
A link is lost
The chain undone
Now we wait all day
For the night to come
And it comes
And it comes
Like a hunter (child)
Im hanging on
Youre all thats left to hang on to
Im hanging on to
Youre all thats left to hang on to
We see love slowly stripped away
Our love, has seen a better day
Im hanging on
Youre all thats left to hold on to
Im holding on
Youre all thats left to hold on to
See the lights go down on red hill town
See lights go down on red hill town

Desperate Heart
One night, one empty room, one man gettin over you
One star, one lonely moon, I make a wish, I know will never come true
You call my name, and you beg me to hold you again
But the truth remains, Im only a fool who cant help but pretend
Chorus:
Its all over but Im holding on, I cant let go until the love is gone
Its all over but I keep holding on with a desperate heart
With my desperate heart
Some nights, I try in my mind, I see myself learning someone new
Still I know, Im wasting my time, no one can take the place of you
So I close my eyes, I swear I feel you here by my side
But its all only a lie, I need to believe for my heart to survive
Its all over but Im holding on, I cant let go until the love is gone
Its all over but I keep holding on with a desperate heart
With my desperate heart, I keep holding on
(guitar solo)
All this time Ive been drowning in hopeless illusions Im keeping inside
That someday youll walk out of the shadows and back into my life
Its all over but Im holding on, I cant believe your love for me is gone
Its all over but I keep holding on (with a desperate heart)
Yeah with my desperate heart, I cant let go until the love is gone
(all over but Im holding on) I keep holding on
(all over but Im holding on) I cant believe your love for me is gone

This Womans Work
Pray God you can cope.
I stand outside this womans work,
This womans world.
Ooh, its hard on the man,
Now his part is over.
Now starts the craft of the father.
I know you have a little life in you yet.
I know you have a lot of strength left.
I know you have a little life in you yet.
I know you have a lot of strength left.
I should be crying, but I just cant let it show.
I should be hoping, but I cant stop thinking
Of all the things I shouldve said,
That I never said.
All the things we shouldve done,
That we never did.
All the things I shouldve given,
But I didnt.
Oh, darling, make it go,
Make it go away.
Give me these moments back.
Give them back to me.
Give me that little kiss.
Give me your hand.

All the things that you wanted for me.
All the things that I shouldve given,

No use in pretending, its not been and gone
Theres no defending, this feelings all too strong
Every time and every place, I see magic in your eyes

Shouldve Never
Music: samuel barnes, jean claude olivier, cory rooney, tonino bailardo, nicolas reyes
Lyrics: cory rooney, jennifer lopez
Ive been so caught up in the thought of me and you
Even though I love someone else
I know my heart belongs to you
Tell me how did we ever let the situation get this far
Maybe we should just try to hide the things we feel inside
Things I know we cant deny
Chorus:
Shouldve never told you that I cared about you
Didnt think that it would be, so bad
Shouldve never kissed you
Shouldve never held your hand
Got to find a way to let these feelings go
What did I do the day I let you slip into my soul
It was then, when I realized that I would always want you in my life
No one else can know of the things that weve been saying on the telephone
It would be so bad
If they ever knew that me and you were secretly into each other
Chorus
Bridge:
Im so scared, trembling inside
cause Im feeling like somebody else already knows
Oh my god, I love you both so much
And to have to choose between the two is hurting me so deep inside
Chorus:
Shouldve never told you that I cared about you
Never thought that it would be, so bad, hum
Shouldve never kissed you
Shouldve never held your hand
I dont ever want to feel this way again
