I
Something came along And stopped me right in my tracks I??d tell you what it was But I can??t be exact II But it filled me with strength And it held me intact When it blessed me with courage And shamed me to act III I??m unable to establish The moment in time When swallowed in rhetoric And dressed up in rhyme IV I went and faced the music And all that entailed The right on my side gave Wind to my sails CHORUS When it??s time, let it go, You??ve got to let it go. When the time has come, you have to let it go V You took me for granted You took me for mad And you know you took advantage Of the trust that I had VI It shocked me to notice The mess I was in It hurt me to find out The fool that I??d been VII I know you always Underestimated me There??s more to this girl Than the girl (that) you see VIII You thought that when you??d gone I??d be fallin?? apart But there??s more to this woman Than a woman??s heart But there??s more to this woman Than a woman??s heart REPEAT CHORUS IX There??s a time to be faithful There??s a time to be brave I was trying to rescue Struggling to save X Every little piece of What was left to me here Every little shred Of all I held dear XI Until piece by piece And bit by bit I gathered them together And I made them all fit XII Until standing tall And feeling strong I??m facing the future And my life goes on And then life still goes on REPEAT CHORUS |

I
There was a time I gave too much away Many times, I craved a touch too deep Now I stand, alone, alone There was a time, that time has passed for me All I have is me All I need is me All I want is me All I've got is me II If you choose to lose yourself to me Keep in mind to save your mystery And my soul stays mine, alone And yours may grow entwined but still is free. And the closest things to me are And the things that set me free are All the things that matter most 'cause They're the things that bring me close to All the sights and sounds that move me And all the crazy loves that soothe me Till all the higher truths around me Make a higher love surround me. All I have is me (and the closest things to me are) (and the things that set me free are) All I need is me (all the things that matter most 'cause) (they're the things that bring me close to) All I want is me (all the sights and sounds that move me) (and all the crazy loves that soothe me) All I've got is me (till all the higher truths around me) (make a higher love surround me) |

Is his hair still as long? Are his eyes still as blue? Can his face still conceal Every clue to his mood? Does his brow still display Every beat of his heart? Did he ask after me? Did you send my regards? Or did you tell him that I've died in every way that matters? And did you tell him how I cry with every day that passes? That I am raw and bruised and torn That I can't function any more Well, did you tell him that? II Well I'd tell him myself But I don't have the nerve And I know, to my shame, This is all I deserve But I hope for my sake You were not indiscreet If he asked how I was, Hope you lied, through your teeth MIDDLE 8 And if he didn't want to know Oh, my friend, don't tell me that Did you never speak my name? Did he never even ask? |

Cafe windows, street lamps
Neon lights ablaze that shine all over town In brilliant conversation, with somebody new He's out there showin' 'round Please, heart, you're killing me I'm lost among the faces Where a sideways glance says romance on a whim Pretty boys with blue eyes Smilin' stylin' just reminding me of him Please, heart, you're killing me Please, heart, you're killing me Can't go out at night Can't stay here at home Can't go anywhere Cause he'll be there Can't get out of bed Can't get any sleep Can't do anything What does he care? Does he care? Everywhere I turn, I see The past jump out in front of me "hello" Someone's got it in for me This whole damn town has secrets I don't know Please, heart, you're killing me Please, heart, you're killing me Four a.m. I brave the cold The garbage trucks are on a roll, "surprise", A vision through the subway steam I see him and I can't believe my eyes Please, heart, you're killing me Please, heart, you're killing me You're killing me You're killing me You're killing me Stop killing me |

I
When I asked you how you'd been You told me you were fine But I knew it was a lie Because I could see the lines Of tiredness on your brow And the tension in your eyes II Yet to another's face There would have been no trace Of trouble in your day To one who'd never seen The shadow of your dreams Or the strangeness of your ways CHORUS To one who didn't know you Or want to touch and hold you To one who didn't need you Who'd never learned to read you To one who didn't love you, Wasn't aching just to hug you You'd look fine To one who didn't know your crazy mind You'd look fine. III I knew you'd have a friend Waiting in the bar 'Cause that's the way you are She looked like she was kind And spoke with strength of mind That had served her well so far. But I hoped that she was tough And wouldn't hurt too much When you'd decide to go And I swear I almost died When I saw in her eyes The image of my own. REPEAT CHORUS CHORUS To one who didn't know you Or want to touch and hold you To one who didn't need you Who'd never learned to read you To one who didn't love you, Wasn't aching just to hug you You'd look fine So very, very fine To one who didn't know your crazy mind You'd look fine. |

You said you'd win me over I said you never would You said you'd wear me down, well, Never thought you could II So how did you make me love you? You're not even my type You tore down my defences Against my best advice (And) Now you tell you you |

Sometimes late at night By the candle light All too subtly You mood alter me ???? and I ???? I'll be drinking up the minutes as they pass I'll be cherishing the seconds while they last And you'll be wrapping me, up in luxury, Until the morning comes II So we go upstairs And you stroke my hair And you're touching me It gets too much for me ???? and I ???? I am drinking up the minutes as they pass I am cherishing the seconds while they last And you are wrapping me, up in luxury, Until the morning comes And oh how I could weep When I drift to sleep Cause it seems such a sin Not to see your face So I stay awake Just to drink you in. III When the morning breaks And we both awake And we're forced to part, That just breaks my heart ???? 'cause I ???? I've been drinking up the minutes as they pass I've been cherishing the seconds while they last And you've been wrapping me, up in luxury, Until the morning comes You've been wrapping me up in luxury Until the morning comes. |

She's graceful to the eye Elegant and tall To see her walking by, You'd think she had it all. But I see her all the time now A little red around the eyes now Even so, it doesn't show 'Till I hear it in her words there Just a little bit slurred there, Th |

He's tired of getting up
Tired of life Tired of working at the same old job And tired of his wife. Overcome with a desire To come of age Better step aside for Johnny 'Cause he's come to take the stage Take the stage He's in the territory of poets Movin' slow He's in the territory of moving But not knowing which way to go. He hides the ring that's on his finger Made of gold He's in the territory of poets And he's doing what he's told What he's told Johnny's looking 'round the bar For a dance Once he sets his eye on Sally She doesn't stand a chance Though the lines that he's rehearsed Pass her by When he asks her for a date She says, Friday would be fine. How 'bout nine? He's in the territory of poets Movin' slow He's in the territory of moving But not knowing which way to go. He hides the ring that's on his finger Made of gold He's in the territory of poets And he's doing what he's told What he's told Sally's putting on her dress Half past eight Johnny takes a little line of something Just to keep him straight Through her shadow and her blush She shines through She says her powder makes her feel much better He says his does too. His does too. He's in the territory of poets Movin' slow He's in the territory of moving But not knowing which way to go. He hides the ring that's on his finger Made of gold He's in the territory of poets And he's doing what he's told What he's told |

I
My home town's dear to me, it's always in my sight (but) My city's shadows walk around in broad daylight They'll even shoot a woman down for what she writes So now you pay for civil liberty with life So hard it's easy to lose hope for everyone So bad it's easier to never take it on But we can't give up And we can't lose hope And we cannot hide away We can overcome But we must be strong And we must not be afraid II You must not ever stop the search for peace within Cause if you find it, there's no better prize to win In losing peace of mind you're losing everything Don't draw away from it whatever shape you're in So hard it's easy to lose hope for everyone So bad it's easier to never take it on But we can't give up And we can't lose hope And we cannot hide away We can overcome But we must be strong And we must not be afraid III With all our songs and stories we have brushed aside The very nature of a beast we tried to hide With all the ugliness this city has to fight How could we leave it to a mother and a wife? So hard it's easy to lose hope for everyone So bad it's easier to never take it on But we can't give up And we can't lose hope And we cannot hide away We can overcome But we must be strong And we must not be afraid We must not be afraid We must not be afraid But we can't give up And we can't lose hope And we cannot hide away We can overcome But we must be strong And we must not be We must not be afraid We must not be afraid |
