Lyrics


































All You Ever Wanted
 
Don't follow me cause I don't know where I'm goin
And don't ask me, cause I don't have all the answers
I'm tryin to leave this behind me, get on my feet again
Now I'm looking for you to save me
And I'm waiting for you to hold me
I stumble I crawl just to get to you
Just to see your face
 
And if I fall down will you catch me?
If I get on my knees will you hold me in your arms?
If I beg you will you finally tell me that I'm all you ever wanted?
 
There's nothing left that I can tell you
I've said it all before
Nothing else that I can do
I proved it all to you
 
And if I fall down will you catch me?
If I get on my knees will you hold me in your arms?
If I beg you will you finally tell me that I'm all you ever wanted?
 
If I fall down will you catch me?
If I get on my knees will you hold me in your arms?
If I beg you will you finally tell me that I'm all you ever wanted?
 
 
 
 
Fade
 
I close my eyes, afraid to look and see what I've become
I walked the line and kept from falling
But now I've lost my way
The light has gone and now I can't see what lies in front of me
The shadows fade, their voices calling
Their marks left on my face
 
I can't run away cause my feet won't leave the ground
I can't reach the surface cause I've fallen too far down
I can't take your hand with my arms tied behind me
I can't find my way above this cause now I'm blind to see
 
I've got to leave this behind me, find my place in the sun
I've got to look for something better and let this fall away
I've got to finish what I started so I can leave this place
Take my life in my own hands, so I can find my way
 
I hold my breath to keep from drowning in all I could've done
Ignored the signs that were around me
And now I'm stuck in this
I've lost the will to keep trying cause nothin seems to change
There's no one left here to guide me
And I'm alone again
 
I can't run away cause my feet won't leave the ground
I can't reach the surface cause I've fallen too far down
I can't take your hand with my arms tied behind me
I can't find my way above this cause now I'm blind to see
 
I've got to leave this behind me, find my place in the sun
I've got to look for something better and let this fall away
I've got to finish what I started so I can leave this place
Take my life in my own hands, so I can find my way
 
 
 
 
Starting Over
 
When you can't find your way
You've fallen to your knees
Stuck on all that you've done
Now you can barely breathe
Locked inside your mind lookin for the answers
Cause you can't find the reason for what happened before
 
And now you're running in circles tryin to forget the past
All the pain that they caused you knocked you to your knees
But you can't find your way if you don't get back to your feet
Now you wait uncertain of how to start again
 
Hiding from your problems
Locked inside your cage
Now you look for something to guide you from this place
Voices running through your head
Ignoring what they say
Bury them inside you cause you can't run away
 
And now you're running in circles tryin to forget the past
All the pain that they caused you knocked you to your knees
But you can't find your way if you don't get back to your feet
Now you wait uncertain of how to start again
 
Nothing here seems to make sense
You can't find your way from this
You tell yourself that it's okay
But nothin seems to change
 
And now you're running in circles tryin to forget the past
All the pain that they caused you knocked you to your knees
But you can't find your way if you don't get back to your feet
Now you wait uncertain of how to start again
 
 
 
 
Four Letter Word
 
I left you and I miss you cause I can't see your face
I lie alone thinking about you and all I couldn't say
I stare into the night wishing i could take your hand
And I wait for the day that I can see you again
 
As I lie here alone with nothing left to do
I'm Thinking of a way to get back to you
 
And now I wanna take your hand
Lead you back to me
I just wish that you could understand
How much you mean to me
When you're gone you're all thats on my mind
All I'm thinking of
Hold me now and leave it all behind
Let yourself fall in love
 
I'm lost but you're my light to guide me from this place
I wish that I could hold you, feel your warm embrace
I long for the nights that you were next to me
Cause when I am with you there's nowhere I 'd rather be
 
Cause you're all I want, everything to me
If I didn't have you where would I be?
 
And now I wanna take your hand
Lead you back to me
I just wish that you could understand
How much you mean to me
When you're gone you're all thats on my mind
All I'm thinking of
Hold me now and leave it all behind
Let yourself fall in love
 
And now I wanna take your hand
Lead you back to me
I just wish that you could understand
How much you mean to me
When you're gone you're all thats on my mind
All I'm thinking of
Hold me now and leave it all behind
Let yourself fall in love
 
 
 
 
All About You (not released)
 
Look into my eyes and tell me what you see
Can you tell me now
Am I what you thought I would be?
Everything I've done has made me realize
I can't live like you, caught up in thoughtless lies
 
Cause I don't need you to tell me what I am
You can't break me down with all the things you said
I don't care what you really think of me
Cause it's not about what you want from me
 
You can try to take all I have from me
Cause I figured out it's you that is truly week
There is nothing great that I can see in you
Want me to give in, but that is one thing I won't do
 
Cause I don't need you to tell me what I am
You can't break me down with all the things you said
I don't care what you really think of me
Cause it's not about what you want from me
 
You wanted me to follow in your footsteps
But you got stuck on leading me and I'm in front of you again 
 
I don't need you to tell me what I am
You can't break me down with all the things you said
I don't care what you really think of me
Cause it's not about what you want from me
 
 
 
 
Just Another Day
 
There is nothing left that I can do
I don't know where I'm going to
I tried to move on and get this out of my mind
But somehow I can't leave this all behind
 
I've fallen down, I've lost my head
I can't forget the things you said
I'm moving in, I'm moving on
There is nothing left, I can't hold on
To what it was it will never be
I'm not where I thought I'd be
Don't know it all but it's all okay
I'll figure this out some other day
 
I can't leave you
I can't go back to where I was
I can't handle that
Lost without hope moving day by day
I realized I can't live that way
 
I've fallen down, I've lost my head
I can't forget the things you said
I'm moving in, I'm moving on
There is nothing left, I can't hold on
To what it was it will never be
I'm not where I thought I'd be
Don't know it all but it's all okay
I'll figure this out some other day
 
I looked for myself and now I finally see
That nothin seems like it ought to be
 
I've fallen down, I've lost my head
I can't forget the things you said
I'm moving in, I'm moving on
There is nothing left, I can't hold on
To what it was it will never be
I'm not where I thought I'd be
Don't know it all but it's all okay
I'll figure this out some other day
 
 
 
 
Wake Up
 
Have I lost my sanity or is this just how I'm supposed to feel?
What is good is gone, but that is fine with me
Cause nothing is as good as it seems
 
Every single thing I've done for you
Has gone and left me helpless
You left me blinded and standing on my head
Everything I wanted then is gone and I'm not reachin for it
Now it's over and I'm askin of myself
 
Am I lost or is there just somethin that I can't see?
Am I callous? cause nothin seems to get through to me
Is it hopeless or is this something that I can fix?
I must be dreamin cause I can't seem to wake up to this
 
I've slipped from reality, maybe someday I'll come to again
But for what it's worth that is not enough for me
Cause nothin seems to be real anyway
 
Every single thing I've done for you
Has gone and left me helpless
You left me blinded and standing on my head
Everything I wanted then is gone and I'm not reachin for it
Now it's over and I'm askin of myself
 
Am I lost or is there just somethin that I can't see?
Am I callous? cause nothin seems to get through to me
Is it hopeless or is this something that I can fix?
I must be dreamin cause I can't seem to wake up to this
 
You're chains are gone from me and now I'm finally free
I've made my way to the surface, and I won't go back down
 
Am I lost or is there just somethin that I can't see?
Am I callous? cause nothin seems to get through to me
Is it hopeless or is this something that I can fix?
I must be dreamin cause I can't seem to wake up to this
 
 
 
 
Hanging On (not released)
 
The nights grow cold without you lying in my arms
I can't live without you, my life's turned upside down
It's been too long since I've seen you
Since I could hear your voice
And now I lie here dreamin that you were here with me
 
Now I'd give it all just to be with you
I'd do anything to hold you in my arms
To see your face there is nothing I won't do
I've got nothin left so I'm hanging on to you
 
Everything is so much clearer now that I'm all alone
You're all I have to guide me
To keep me in this life
Loving you is what I love for is all I've ever know
I'd throw it all away to be with you tonight
 
Now I'd give it all just to be with you
I'd do anything to hold you in my arms
To see your face there is nothing I won't do
I've got nothin left so I'm hanging on to you
 
It seems that nothin goes my way
And I'm left standing in the dark
But I let it fall away cause I still have you
 
Now I'd give it all just to be with you
I'd do anything to hold you in my arms
To see your face there is nothing I won't do
I've got nothin left so I'm hanging on to you
 
 
 
 
When The Light Returns
 
These kind words that you've said to me
Mean more than you could know
You can try to take all I cannot say
But there is more to me than I can show
 
You give me breath and take it all away
Burning your words deep inside of me
You take away my doubt and turn me inside out
Open my eyes so I can finally see
 
I've gotta be honest
I never thought that
I would ever let things get this way
But somewhere behind this
Know that I'm searching
For a way to get to you some day
It's never been harder to come back to something
That you have let slip away
And it's never been clearer that I can't be perfect
But nothing is and nothing gold can stay
 
Look back on me and see who I've become
I tried so hard to change
I feel this light shining down on me
And you've shown me the way
 
You give me breath and take it all away
Burning your words deep inside of me
You take away my doubt and turn me inside out
Open my eyes so I can finally see
 
I've gotta be honest
I never thought that
I would ever let things get this way
But somewhere behind this
Know that I'm searching
For a way to get to you some day
It's never been harder to come back to something
That you have let slip away
And it's never been clearer that I can't be perfect
But nothing is and nothing gold can stay
 
Don't run away because I need you now
Through all the things I've got to face
Take my hand and let it all sink in
Help me forget all I can't erase
 
I've gotta be honest
I never thought that
I would ever let things get this way
But somewhere behind this
Know that I'm searching
For a way to get to you some day
It's never been harder to come back to something
That you have let slip away
And it's never been clearer that I can't be perfect
But nothing is and nothing gold can stay
 
 
 
 
Fallen Angel
 
Look back on what you've done
Can you tell me, was it right?
Dreamin of the sun as you walk into the night
You were holding in your hands all that you would ever need
But you wanted so much more, trading honesty for greed
 
As you sit among the stars, are they what you had in mind?
Can you tell me what you see?
Or has your arrogance made you blind?
The sky doesn't seem to end so you let it all sink in
But you couldn't last forever with the lies you were living in
 
Now you're running, running away
Moving farther from this place
All that you've seen couldn't make you believe
That your world could fall from beneath your feet
 
Tell me what you see when you look around
Losing all your dreams as they come tumbling down
From where you were before
Cause now you've fallen through the clouds
Can't you see you're human with your feet back on the ground
 
All that you've done right has somehow done you wrong
You don't seem to change, falling back on what you've done
Are you losing your mind?
Has it left you full of doubt?
As you look to the sky tryin to figure this out
 
Now you're running, running away
Moving farther from this place
All that you've seen couldn't make you believe
That your world could fall from beneath your feet
 
You shed your skin, they clipped your wings
Now it's only you I see
Without the mask you hid behind
Your beauty is not what it used to be
 
Now you're running, running away
Moving farther from this place
All that you've seen couldn't make you believe
That your world could fall
 
Now you're running, running away
Moving farther from this place
All that you've seen couldn't make you believe
That your world could fall from beneath your feet
 
 
 
 
In Memory of Tomorrow
 
Some things in life open up your eyes
Make you realize you might be wrong
Cause all you thought was true, there to hold on to
Isn't gonna be there when you're gone
Nothing is what it seems behind broken dreams
Living in an emptiness you can't escape
 
Now you wait for things to come
That you know you'll never see
You've lost it now, you're on your own
But don't let go of what you could be
 
Don't fall from me, don't let me down
Cause I won't give up on you now
Don't let go, don't turn away
From all the things I've heard you say
You can't tell what you feel
When everything seems so unreal
But all you say and what you do
There's something to hold on to
 
All the things you've done, all you though was right
Have only made you blind to what you need
You locked it all inside pushing it away
But in the end the memory still remains
You tried to end it now, cause you can't figure out
That letting go will never stop your pain
 
Now you wait for things to come
That you know you'll never see
You've lost it now, you're on your own
But don't let go of what you could be
 
Don't fall from me, don't let me down
Cause I won't give up on you now
Don't let go, don't turn away
From all the things I've heard you say
You can't tell what you feel
When everything seems so unreal
But all you say and what you do
There's something to hold on to
 
Some things in life open up your eyes
Make you realize you've got it wrong
Cause all you thought was true, there to hold on to
Isn't gonna be there when you're gone
 
Don't fall from me, don't let me down
Cause I won't give up on you now
Don't let go, don't turn away
From all the things I've heard you say
You can't tell what you feel
When everything seems so unreal
But all you say and what you do
There's something to hold on to
 
 
 
 
I'll be Here
 
Now the days run longer
Tied with thoughts of you
I just wait and wonder, what else can I do?
 
I try to read your thoughts
For something that gives you away
But until I know what you want from me, all I can say is
 
When the tears dry from your face, I'll be here
When the sun sets on this place, I'll be here
When the wind blows your fears away
And you find the words to say
When you see what you've been missing
I'll be right here waiting
 
Now the days grow colder
As you slowly drift away
I watch you and wonder, is there more that I could say?
 
How am I supposed to feel?
Is this how I have to live?
And can you tell me, do you want me when all I can guarantee
 
Is when the tears dry from your face, I'll be here
When the sun sets on this place, I'll be here
When the wind blows your fears away
And you find the words to say
When you see what you've been missing
I'll be right here waiting
 
I thought nothing would come my way
Then I turned and saw your face
Now the only thing I know is that I can't let you go
 
When the tears dry from your face, I'll be here
When the sun sets on this place, I'll be here
When the wind blows your fears away
And you find the words to say
When you see what you've been missing
I'll be right here waiting
 
 
 
 
Is this Life?
 
He looks back on the ashes of what he thought was life
He holds back, telling himself everything is alright
 
He sinks down to his knees as he reaches toward the sky
Now he grasps for the answers to the questions in his life
 
What is right, what is right?
And, where did I go wrong?
I've got to fight, I've got to fight it
I've laid down for way too long
I'm holding on, I'm holding on
But I'm hanging by a thread
I'm tryin now, I'm tryin so hard
Just to find myself again
 
He crawls back to the comfort that lies behind his eyes
Hiding out from the world until he sees that everything is all right
 
He sinks down to his knees as he reaches toward the sky
Now he grasps for the answers to the questions in his life
 
What is right, what is right?
And, where did I go wrong?
I've got to fight, I've got to fight it
I've laid down for way too long
I'm holding on, I'm holding on
But I'm hanging by a thread
I'm tryin now, I'm tryin so hard
Just to find myself again
 
Now he walks, escaping from the shadows in his mind
He's broken free but now he wonders, how do I make this mine?
 
What is right, what is right?
And, where did I go wrong?
I've got to fight, I've got to fight it
I've laid down for way too long
I'm holding on, I'm holding on
But I'm hanging by a thread
I'm tryin now, I'm tryin so hard
Just to find myself again
 
What is right?
What is right?
What is right?
Can someone tell me now, is this life?
 
 
 
 
Let Go
 
Time is slipping through my hands
Fallin to the ground as day breaks again
The sky slowly fades from grey
All my doubts are gone with the passing of yesterday
 
Times may change but we all stay the same
Moving on, but locked in our familiar place
 
As I fall, will you follow me down
from this life that you've made?
As I walk, will you walk with me now?
Let your thoughts slip away
When I call and you're lost in the crowd
Will you find your place?
And when you let go, turn yourself back around
Is it me that you'll face?
 
Thoughts are coming all too clear
Silence is deafening when it's all that you can hear
But nothing else can move me now
The weight is gone that I had holding me down
 
Things may change but we all act the same
Breaking free, then running back to where we came
 
As I fall, will you follow me down
from this life that you've made?
As I walk, will you walk with me now?
Let your thoughts slip away
When I call and you're lost in the crowd
Will you find your place?
And when you let go, turn yourself back around
Is it me that you'll face?
 
Take in the words that I say
Cause I've never thought this clearly before
Lay down your trust in me
Cause I've never felt as strong as I do now
 
As I fall, will you follow me down
from this life that you've made?
As I walk, will you walk with me now?
Let your thoughts slip away
When I call and you're lost in the crowd
Will you find your place?
And when you let go, turn yourself back around
Is it me that you'll face?
