If You Go
It's kinda sad that I have learned to deal with things like this.
Being strong means being heartless.
Tell me, how do the scars feel after the wounds heal?
Did it burn when they cauterized?
Did it show that you were hiding the hurt inside?
Do your eyes still shine as bright as they did
The days when you were at your best?
Now that you're all alone and feeling sorry for yourself,
Did it make sense to lie to me and deceive me like you did?
If you run away from me, I'm not running after you (cause I'm so tired).
If you turn away from this don't look back (cause I'll be gone).
If you go then I'll forget you.
When you're gone I won't miss you.
I'm sorry that's just the way I've learned to deal with a broken heart.
If you go then I'll forget you.
When you're gone I won't miss you.
I'm sorry that's just the way I've learned to deal
With a broken heart and broken promises.
It's been a long time since I've seen you and longer since we've talked.
And the last thing that I said was I had nothing to say.
Now I'm choking on my words.
All the things I didn't say that could have made it all ok
She Waits
Told her all I'll ever want and all I'll ever need
Is just enough to make me leave
I can' tell when the magic fades and there's nothing up my sleeve
But it's hard to know I believe, oh
She waits
And I pretend that I'm not coming back
She waits
For me to find my way back home again
She waits
I never thought she would
She waits
Tell her that I've been in love but I've never had a friend
I'm always starting at the end
Better that I leave this place than break apart a home
How much can I hurt if I'm on my own
She waits
And I pretend that I'm not coming back
She waits
For me to find my way back home again
She waits
I never thought she would
She waitsShe waits
And I pretend that I'm not coming back
She waits
For me to find my way back home again
She waits
I never thought she would
She waits
For good
Sleep To Dream
I tell you how I feel, but you don't care
I say tell me the truth but you don' t dare
You say love is a hell you cannot bear
And I say gimme mine back and then go there - for all I care
I got my feet on the ground and I don't go to sleep to dream
You got your head in the clouds and you're not all what you seem
This mind, this body, and this voice cannot be stifled by your deviant ways
So don't forget what I told you, don't come around, I got my own hell to raise
I have never been so insulted in all my life
I could swallow the seas to wash down all this pride
First you run like a fool just to be at my side
And now you run like a fool, but you just run to hide, and I don't abide
I got my feet on the ground and I don't go to sleep to dream
You got your head in the clouds and you're not all what you seem
This mind, this body, and this voice cannot be stiffled by your deviant ways
So don't forget what I told you, don't come around, I got my own hell to raise
Don't make it a big deal, don't be so sensitive
We're not playing a game anymore; you don't have to be so defensive
Don't you plead me your case, don't bother to explain
Don't even show me your face, 'cuz it's a crying shame
Just go back to the rock from under which you came
Take the sorrow you gave and all the stakes you claim --
and don't forget the blame
I got my feet on the ground, and I don't go to sleep to dream
You got your head in the clouds, and you're not at all what you seem
This mind, this body, and this voice cannot be stifled by your deviant ways
So don't forget what I told you, don't come around, I got my own hell to raise
Too Close To Tears
Used to be we had so much to say
Always thought that love would last and time would slip away
But now I’m only dreaming of those endless summer days
And how they fade to grey
Wish it was yesterday
One day we’re gonna laugh about it
Maybe they’ll write a song about it
But (now) I’m too close to tears
Too hurt to talk anymore
One day you’re gonna meet me somewhere
We’ll look back without a care
But now I’m too close to tears
It’s too bad we lost
I don’t wanna talk about us anymore
It’s funny how a day can change your life
You wake up and realize there’s nothing left inside
Nobody want’s to say the words, it’s easier to hide
There’s something you should know
It’s harder to let you go
One day we’re gonna laugh about it
Maybe they’ll write a song about it
But (now) I’m too close to tears
Too hurt to talk anymore
One day you’re gonna meet me somewhere
We’ll look back without a care
But now I’m too close to tears
It’s too bad we lost
I don’t wanna talk about us
I don’t wanna talk about us
Now it’s too late we’ve gone too far
We’ve lost that dream along the way
Now there’s no time for happy endings
One day we’re gonna laugh about it
Maybe they’ll write a song about it
But (now) I’m too close to tears
Too hurt to talk anymore
One day you’re gonna meet me somewhere
We’ll look back without a care
But now I’m too close to tears
It’s too bad we lost
I don’t wanna talk about us anymore
Vienna
Slow down, you crazy child
You're so ambitious for a juvenile
But then if you're so smart, tell me
Why are you still so afraid?
Where's the fire, what's the hurry about?
You'd better cool it off before you burn it out
You've got so much to do and
Only so many hours in a day
But you know that when the truth is told..
That you can get what you want or you get old
You're gonna kick off before you even
Get halfway through
When will you realize
Vienna waits for you
Slow down, you're doing fine
You can't be everything you want to be
Before your time
Although it's so romantic on the borderline tonight
Tonight
Too bad but it's the life you lead
you're so ahead of yourself that you forgot what you need
Though you can see when you're wrong, you know
You can't always see when you're right. you're right
You've got your passion, you've got your pride
But don't you know that only fools are satisfied?
Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true
When will you realize
Vienna waits for you
Slow down, you crazy child
And take the phone off the hook and disappear for awhile
It's all right, you can afford to lose a day or two
When will you realize
Vienna waits for you
And you know that when the truth is told
That you can get what you want or you can just get old
You're gonna kick off before you even get half through
Why don't you realize
Vienna waits for you
When will you realize
Vienna waits for you
