ALONE AGAIN
You left me on a corner in the rain
You had two umbrellas, You gave mine away
What kind of a person does that to the one that they love?
Seems my love wasn’t good enough
Not good enough
I wandered round the city through the night
I wished that I smoked, I wish I had a light
Coz you were the one, the lantern that lit up my life
And now I’ve gone blind
Now I’m blind
I guess that I’m numb
I think I’m in shock
Don’t even remember your name
But one thing I know for sure
I’m alone again
Alone again
I cried on the night bus then slept
And when I awoke I knew I was a mess
When the driver said, “Sweetheart, you should go home get some rest.
Tomorrow’ll be better I’ll bet.
Go on pet.”
I guess that I’m numb
I think I’m in shock
Don’t even remember your name
But one thing I know for sure
I’m alone again
Alone again
I didn’t know I didn’t see the signs
That our time had run out
We disappeared like tears through rain
So now I’ll go an lick my wounds again
I’m alone again

Borrow Your Love

BORROW YOUR LOVE
It’s a grey day
You have left me
And my smile went with the wind
I think I might be needing your love
Storm’s coming in
And every cloud looks like my furrowed brow
Too soon to be without you
Just for the day
In the morning, in the evening
I don’t have a reason
I wonder could I borrow your love?
Most days I’m fine
And then it hits me
When my heart breaks
The stitches comes apart
I’m still chasing the high
You don’t need to see the tears I cry
Don’t want to be without you
Just for the day
In the morning, in the evening
I don’t have a reason
I wonder could I borrow your love?
I still remember the color of your car, the lake, the trees
And I miss that shirt you loved to wear with those jeans
But those were yesterdays and not tomorrows
So today could I borrow your love?
In the morning and the evening
I don’t have a reason,
I wonder could I borrow your love?
One day soon could I borrow your love?

Missing in Action

MISSING IN ACTION
I don’t mind if you wanna leave
Get out while the going’s good
And I don’t mind if you feel the need to stay
And wrap your arms around me
You know I don’t think I need that right now
I always used to feel so warm
With this safety net you lay upon me
But recently I find that I can’t breathe
Coz I don’t think you really see me
The whole me
And I don’t think I need that right now
Coz you’re not what I need
But you’re sure what I want
And I don’t think that I should take it
Coz I know that I find that I’m losing myself
In this thing that we call “Us”
I don’t think you understand my problem
I just don’t feel complete
There’s a part of you that you always lose
When you finally meet someone
There’s a part that I always seem to lose
Missing in action
I always thought that you were playing
I didn’t think your heart was in it
But recently I find that I’m not sure
Coz I don’t think you need me
The way you say you do
Coz when I’m alone with you
I find that I am by myself
Coz you’re not what I need
But you’re sure what I want
And I don’t think that I should take it
Coz I know that I find that I’m losing myself
In this thing that we call “Us”
I don’t think you understand my problem
I just don’t feel complete
There’s a part of you that you always lose
When you finally meet someone
There’s a part that I always seem to lose
Missing in action
And every time I walk away
I feel I’m getting stronger
Escaping. I don’t know
But just what is it I’m trying to run to?
I just don’t know
I just don’t know

A Little Confused

A LITTLE CONFUSED
A little confused today
But it’s just like any other day
I feel like i am sinking
A little more H2O
So I can let my spirit flow
It’s ok now. I think that I am drowning
‘Coz I didn’t think that I would be
In a position to say I’m sorry
I guess I never had the time
I always thought that it would go
Along the lines of “I didn’t know,
I’m sorry.
Goodbye”
And so I have a furrowed brow
My mind is ticking over wondering how
We ended up like this
Our candles are all burnt out
I feel the water is flowing above me now
I suppose you’re happy
I’m running out of air
‘Coz I didn’t think that I would be
In a position to say I’m sorry
I guess I never had the time
I always thought that it would go
Along the lines of “I didn’t know,
I’m sorry.
Goodbye”
One minute you’re happy the next you’re sad
One day you’ve got too many friends
The next you’re in that no man’s land
I’m sorry if you felt alone with me
I should’ve paid attention
I’m the one who should’ve seen
A little confused today
But it’s not like any other day today i’m by myself
I feel like crying out
But just what is it that i would shout about
It’s all my fault and I don’t like regret
‘Coz I didn’t think that I would be
In a position to say I’m sorry
I guess I never had the time
I always thought that it would go
Along the lines of “I didn’t know,
I’m sorry.
Goodbye”
I didn’t know, I’m sorry, goodbye
I didn’t know, I’m sorry, does it have to be goodbye?

Heart Is Shy

HEART IS SHY
I want you to know who I am
But I don’t want it
I want you to know how I feel
But I don’t want you to know
Maybe I am crazy
To think that I could be with you
It’s like a John Hughes movie
I wish that I could say this to you
But I can’t say it
I just don’t know what to say
I want to show it
But my heart is shy that way
I watch you with all your friends
But you don’t notice
Then you look up and catch my eye
But I don’t know if you mind me staring back at you
I want to run and hide now
But I don’t have the nerve to stay
It’s like a John Hughes movie
Oh legs why don’t you make me walk away
Coz I can’t say it
I just don’t know what to say
I want to know it
But my heart is shy that way
You make me want to scream your name
Everybody knows that I’d be yours if you’d just say
And now you’re walking
You’re walking right up to me
And then you whisper
“Without you I can’t breathe”
We sit over candles and don’t say a word
We are sitting on the front room table
Or we walk down the street as the music comes in
Singing “Wise Men Say”
Still my heart is shy that way.

FALLING [ALTERNATE VERSION]
I wonder if I could
Say the things I should
Even if I could I would not say them out loud
Gotta save my pride
Even if I lie
Only I would cry if you laughed at me
But you never laughed at me
So open up your mind
Let your thoughts be kind
You may think that I’m foolish for giving in
Now it’s all out there
Guess I shouldn’t care
Can I take it back or is it much too late?
Or have we changed?
I’m falling, I think that I missed the point
So kiss me and help me understand
I want to be there but I hadn’t planned
On letting my heart speak silently
So still
So open my mouth, let it all just pour out
Am I breaking down, I think I’ve lost my mind
Are your ears turned on?
Don’t you hear my song?
Shouldn’t you have run and left me here to bleed?
But you’re just smiling
I’m falling, I think that I missed the point
So kiss me and help me understand
I want to be there but I hadn’t planned
On letting my heart speak silently
So still
When things mean more it’s easy to be still
I broke my heart and opened up to you
So wrap it up it’s only good for shattering

Really Something

REALLY SOMETHING
Someone was singing a song that’s about you
Heard while waiting for the lights to change
I strained to listen to it over the radio
While it was telling me to have a nice day
But it’s never a nice day
Was about a broken hearted man in a small town
Wishing he’d told his lady love to stay
But he let her run off into another man’s sunset
Reminds me of you as you are today
Only just today
You think you’re nothing
She’d be crazy to think that you were something more
You did your best boy, it wasn’t enough
You think your nothing
Why didn’t you chase your dreams
‘Cause she was really something
And now she’s really gone
Your walking around as if you’ve lost all hope
But how ya gonna get her back if you don’t know what you’ve done
Did it occur to you to think of asking
It only takes one to resurrect those walls
The ones you spend a lifetime tearing down
You think you’re nothing
She’d be crazy to think that you were something more
You did your best boy, it wasn’t enough
You think your nothing
Why didn’t you chase your dreams
‘Cause she was really something
And now she’s really gone
I’m not gonna sit here and watch you burn
You know the choice you’ve made, so you’ve got to try and make it happen
And I’m gonna leave you to the choice that youv’e created
So what’s the use in going on
I know that selfpity is a coat you wear
Your shirt is made of regret and you’ve got blame combed in your hair
Your wearing those glasses that are tinted rose
But nothings gonna change until you get rid of those
And see the world as she does
You think your nothing
She’d be crazy to think that you were something more
You did your best boy, it wasn’t enough
You think your nothing
Why didn’t you chase your dreams
‘Cause she was really something
And now she’s really gone

Hey You

HEY YOU
Hey you
Your eyes are like stars
But I see only glances
You’re facing the wall
Hey you
Please don’t look down
Could I be the only one who sees you have a shining soul?
I need someone
I think you need someone too
Can we dance the same dance?
Sing the same song?
Hum the same ditty as we walk through this life?
Eyes closed
You take my hand
In my dream we are living the life we should know
Hey you
Open your heart
You will see there beside me we’re all that we’re destined to be
I need someone
I think you need someone too
Can we dance the same dance?
Sing the same song?
Hum the same ditty as we walk through this life?
I am not all that I’m meant to be
I see you and you see me
What can I do to make you see what I see
When I look at you?
Can we dance the same dance?
Maybe sing the same song?
Hum the same ditty, ditty, ditty?
As we walk through, walk through
This life

Heart's Not Finished

HEART'S NOT FINISHED
This is who I am
I might not change the world
But I’d like to change your mind about us
I don’t really understand it
I thought we were done and dusted
But I’m thinking about you far too much
I don’t want to be your friend
I would rather be your enemy
Coz I don’t think I want to see your face again
Unless we both walk to the middle
We could see each other’s view
And I’d catch that spark that’s in your eyes
And I’d get this feeling
My heart’s not finished with you
Seems like forever and a day
I still remember what your said
But how many words does it take to say we’re done?
Coz if that’s really true
Why d’you keep driving past my house?
Are we really through?
Unless we both walk to the middle
We could see each other’s view
And I’d catch that spark that’s in your eyes
And I’d get this feeling
My heart’s not finished with you
I don’t want to be your friend
I would rather be your enemy
Coz I don’t think I could stand to see your face again

Not Meant To Be You

NOT MEANT TO BE YOU
Somebody out there’s looking just like me
Somebody out there’s crying
Feeling like I used to feel
To you I’m just a face in a crowd
And if you heard me shouting, would you help me out?
I don’t want to hear your name
It hurts too much and yet I feel the same
You never listened
I know I never gave you chance
You never wanted to understand
Maybe I just wanted to kill you
Maybe I would die without you
You took my heart and turned it into sand
And when I needed you to hold me
You felt so cold, you couldn’t be so far away
I should’ve known then but I know now
This just won’t do
It’s not meant to be you
Why do I feel I’ve been wrong
To trust you with my feelings for so long
Don’t want to remember how you held me so close
But since you don’t need me I can’t need you
Maybe I just wanted to kill you
Maybe I would die without you
You took my heart and turned it into sand
And when I needed you to hold me
You felt so cold, you couldn’t be so far away
I should’ve known then but I know now
This just won’t do
It’s not meant to be you
Hold me now in you arms (and take me away)
Hold me close so I can’t see what’s outside
All I know is that I have to break away
I can live without your love
Even though I feel as if my heart has died
Maybe I just wanted to kill you
Maybe I would die without you
You took my heart and turned it into sand
And when I needed you to hold me
You felt so cold, you couldn’t be so far away
I should’ve known then but I know now
This just won’t do
It’s not meant to be you
