Enemy 05:03
lyrics
buy track
I don’t want to turn you into an enemy But how am I supposed to carry on? Terrified that there is nothing left of me So, how does it feel to know you won? All this pain All these miscalculations Every time I looked away Instead of staring back at you I don’t want to turn you into a memory So I’m forgetting everything you are It’s painful, but I’m doing what is best for me It’s hard to heal when you keep leaving scars All this pain All these miscalculations Every time I looked away instead of staring back at you I don’t want to remain as an accessory To hopes and dreams and plans and goals that flew When darkness swiftly falls, it leaves you questioning I still wish the lies you told were true All this pain All these miscalculations Every time I looked away Instead of staring back at you All I want is to fall into your arms All I want is to tell me you were dreaming All I want is to make the same mistakes again with you All I want is to die with everything you felt for me All this pain All these miscalculations Every time I looked away Instead of staring back at you

I Still Miss Her Sometimes 03:43
lyrics

The glow of her hair And the warmth of her smile If pain is a foot Then mine is a mile I still miss her sometimes I just couldn’t say Where it all went wrong Maybe I was a coward Who didn’t belong I still miss her sometimes I fell and I fell In a deep dark hole And I lost sense of all That I couldn’t control I still miss her sometimes I wish I knew how to fix this mess Been feeling some way I just can’t express I still miss her sometimes I know how she feels And I truly agree She has every right To be mad at me I still miss her sometimes Made some mistakes Before I set her free Did what I thought was right Just wasn’t meant to be I don’t miss the old me Change ain’t as easy As it might sound But I’ll do my best I can’t let her down…again I don’t miss the old me I’ve taken too much Shut one too many doors Forgiveness is earned And I hope I earn yours I still miss you sometimes I still miss you sometimes

Those Same Roads 02:45
lyrics
buy track
One day I had it all Next day I feel so small I hope my pretty eyed lover will remain But I know it can’t be the same No matter how hard I tried The pain won’t shift, the tears won’t dry I know I’ll never love again At least not in the way that I loved you Thought that I was baby blue But now I’m just missing you You prob’ly don’t remember me But I was your baaaby Na-na-na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na-na-na-na Na-na Na-na-na-na Na-na-na Ooh-oooooooh Come back and love me if you dare We’re speaking here and there If you wondered where to go I’ll still be on the same old roads Wish that I knew now what I know then Wish I could start over again I’m just a stupid boy who Likes to live in fantasies When she drifts away again That’s when the pain seeps in Call me a forgotten face But I’ll never refuse her embrace I thought that I was baby blue But now I’m just missing you You prob’ly don’t remember me But I was your baaaby

Disappear 03:48
lyrics
buy track
Disappear and run away Maybe try again someday Didn’t work out like we planned But I just can’t understand Maybe in a day or two I’ll fall in love with someone new But until that wish comes true My heart only beats for you I would change things if I could Or I wouldn’t, but I should I’ve been searching for a sign Still you’re all that’s on my mind Maybe in a week or three Someone will fall in love with me But until that wish comes true My heart only beats for you Maybe in a year or ten I should be over you by then But until that wish comes true My heart only beats...

Barrel of Lies 01:54
lyrics
buy track
Baby’s looking at me Through a barrel of lies I don’t know what I did to hurt her But she’s fueled like a fire Woman’s looking at me Through a whirlpool of dreams I don’t know where she thinks she’s going But she says what she means I want to run Start of the gun Where she’s coming from Everybody’s asking me Now “what does it mean?” I wish I had a perfect answer But I’m destined to dream Asking everybody If they have all the facts But they just laugh and drink And kiss and sing and resume the act I want to flee Don’t reach for me I’m invisible Baby’s looking at me Through a barrel of lies I don’t know what I did to hurt her But she’s fueled like a fire Woman’s looking at me Through a whirlpool of dreams I don’t know where she thinks she’s going But she says what she means

Anyone's Guess 02:14
lyrics
buy track
I’ve been waiting patiently for the light to come in It’s been such a long time and the room’s become dim I know This won’t last forever I know But it still hurts sometimes My mind is running circles but my body lies still I’m begging you to tell me what lies over the hill Everything is fuzzy and it turns into blur If you ask me for my name, I’ll say “I’m not sure” I know This won’t last forever I know But it still hurts sometimes I don’t know what day it is, but I hope I’m not late Asked you once, I’ve asked a million times “Can I escape?” I know This won’t last forever I know But it still hurts sometimes Sunrise should’ve been here yesterday, where did it go? It seems that everyone abandoned me so long ago I’ll wait just as long as I can, not one moment less Just how long that’s gonna take is anyone’s guess

Two Sides 02:53
lyrics
buy track
Don’t say you love me Or “this is no one’s fault” When you’re sailing away on a sunset And you’ve left me lost Somethings wrong now (Something’s wrong now) I can see it in your eyes (See it in your eyes) I feel the distance, but you smile and say that everything’s fine There’s two sides Two sides to every story I’ve been taking zero chances Cause I’m scared to be alone I’ve been changing circumstances Cause she don’t know how to love Feel the tears grow (Feel the tears grow) Oooh, she’s so cruel (Oooh, she’s so good) I have to realize You’re not the person that I once knew There’s…two sides Two sides to every story

What Goes Thru Your Mind? 03:01
lyrics
buy track
What goes through your mind All the time? What goes through your head When you're in bed? What goes through the door That you ignore? And what goes through your heart When we're apart? I just want to know I just want to know What goes through your day When you're away? What goes through your night Do you hold him tight? What goes through your feet When you're discreet? And what goes through your heart When we're apart? I just want to know I just want to know If you could see me back Through reflective screens I'd ask a million questions Tell me what it means But if you come around, I won't leave you out And if you stay, okay, let's try This time around What goes through your mind? What goes through your mind All the time? What goes through your head When your in bed? What goes through the door That you ignore? And what goes through your heart When we're apart? I just want to know I just want to know What goes through your mind?

If I Had To Lie 03:24
lyrics
buy track
Baby If i had to lie I never cried On the day we said goodbye Lately I’ve been running scared I wasn’t prepared For the hole you left in me Woman I don’t understand I was your man I thought we had a plan And the pain will remain So i try to refrain From speaking your name So i have to move on From a lover withdrawn But it still feels wrong Don’t you Wish we could rewind? I was just a bit behind And you couldn’t wait for me Baby I’ve been torn and tattered My heart has been shattered And i don’t know what to do Sometimes The silence turns to shouting I begin doubting That you ever noticed me And the pain will remain I still try to refrain From speaking your name So i choose to move on From a lover withdrawn But it feels so wrong Baby If i had to lie I never cried On the day we said goodbye

The Moon Glows 02:35
lyrics
buy track
Moonglows were playing When I told You that I loved you No one else above you And you said the same Feels like a lifetime ago The piece of my heart I gave to you Has crumbled And no longer grows “I Pray For Love” And still do Pray that somebody Will love you again The way I that I loved you It’s not the same This wound may never heal I accept now That it’s all over I had a dream You were old Lifetimes had passed by So far removed from all the Phases of now A memory appeared and you smiled If that’s where I exist for now that I’ll have to accept it somehow Je te trouverai toujours

When I'm Awake 04:02
lyrics
buy track
When I’m tired I get so hard on myself When I’m tired I see you with somebody else When I’m tired I lie in my bed And want to hold you like I should Ooooh This kind of thinking Don’t do me no good When I’m awake The daybreak puts me in a good mood When I’m awake I can fake that your in the next room When I’m awake The pain goes away If only for a moment or two Oooooh I can almost forget about you There’s no use pretending Our love’s at an ending It disintegrates with the morning dew And now that it’s over I’m searching for closure But searching leads me back to you When I’m depressed I confess that I start to miss you When I’m depressed I repress all the cold things you’d do When I’m depressed I let in the air That you’re currently breathing somewhere Oooh living without you doesn’t seem fair

Lonely Hunter 05:12
lyrics
buy track
The voice of my lover With a stranger's eyes We pass one another When our love dies Emotion is fleeting Temporary and vague I cannot regret The choices that i made I just let it go The road that i’m traveling Has its ups and downs The voice of the past calls I do not turn around And at the ending There’s less and less to find I’m glad I was in your life And i’m glad you were in mine Now I let it go There are no winners in this story Just losers Beautiful losers But Still losers Beautiful, we’re Beautiful losers Beautiful, we’re Beautiful losers And now I let it go
