Holding on to pieces, of our summer, going by
On a wall of memories, at the edges of my mind
Whoa, they used to tell a story
But they’re just paper to me now
Whoa, they used to say 1000 words
But now they can’t be heard
We ran out of time, said goodbye too soon
Pictures being faded, of the summer nights in june
Blurry all the memories, still remember what was true
Pictures they are fading, changing, leaving
A silhouette of you
Foot stamps on the pavements
I’m retracing every corner we turned to see
If we could have kept these moments from burning
To ashes and dust
Whoa, they used to say 1000 words
But now they can’t be heard
We ran out of time, said goodbye too soon
Pictures being faded, of the summer nights in june
Blurry all the memories, still remember what was true
Pictures they are fading, changing, leaving
A silhouette of you
A silhouette of you
A silhouette of you
A silhouette of you
We ran out of time, said goodbye too soon
Pictures being faded, of the summer nights in june
Blurry all the memories, still remember what was true
Pictures they are fading, changing, leaving
We ran out of time, said goodbye too soon
Pictures being faded, of the summer nights in june
Blurry all the memories, still remember what was true
Pictures they are fading, changing, leaving
A silhouette of you
Back down, I think I've had enough of you
Finished making the best of a bad situation
too proud, to let you play me like a fool
now you're acting like you're sorry, you're just sorry you got caught
Beat down, I let my heart get battered and bruised
but honey, everybody's got their limitations
I found out, now I'm bringing you the news
you can tell me that you're sorry, but I'm telling you goodbye
Look in my eyes and wipe that smile off your face
Pack up your bags and get them out my place
The tougher you act, boy, the harder you'll fall
If you think I'll be lonely
You don't know me at all
Blacked out, I've been living in a fairytale with you
but you just wrote yourself, out of a happy ending
snapped out, now I ain't in the mood
you can keep on saying sorry, but a word won't change my mind
Look in my eyes and wipe that smile off your face
Pack up your bags and get them out my place
The tougher you act, boy, the harder you'll fall
If you think I'll be lonely
You don't know me at all
(don't you remember making promises)
don't you remember making promises to me
Look in my eyes and wipe that smile off your face
the way you've been acting, you should be ashamed
You think I'll be crying, and climbing the wall
well you don't know me at all
Look in my eyes and wipe that smile off your face
Pack up your bags and get them out my place
The tougher you act, boy, the harder you'll fall
You think that you know me
You don't know me at all
You don't know me You don't know me no, don't know me at all
You don't know me You don't know me no you don't know me at all
We all need a hand to hold
A place our troubles can unfold
Somewhere safe to lay and wait out the storm
We all need a place to fall
The arms of someone when we call
Someone there to prove to us
That we're not alone
And I can't tell you what you mean
I can't imagine where I'd be
You've always been the one that kept me on my feet
But this time I need to fly
With everything to lose
Without a parachute
And let the rain fall
Let myself free fall
To see what I can do
Without a parachute
There's a caution in the wind
That makes it hard to depend
On the people who we know feel like home
It might seem random, might seem wrong
Our hearts in tandem for so long
But I need to take the chance to be on my own
And I can't tell you what you mean
I can't imagine where I'd be
You've always been the one that kept me on my feet
But this time I need to fly
With everything to lose
Without a parachute
And let the rain fall
Let myself free fall
To see what I can do
Without a parachute
I won't break
I've got your love to keep me strong
I Just need some space
But it won't mean I'm gone
But this time I need to fly
With everything to lose
Without a parachute
And let the rain fall
Let myself free fall
To see what I can do
Without a parachute
Been a puzzle from the start
Cuz I never let you know
Got the pieces all layed out
But I don't know where they go
And I could tell you what I'd like
But I know you wouldn't hear
You'd say it's a cover up
And you'd tell me just to sleep it off tonight
And we lay with a thousand miles between us
And all the sheets have twisted up with time
And I don't want to lie
There's a sadness in your eyes
That I've never seen before
Maybe we'd be better off
As just pieces on the floor
'Know I watched it all burn down
But there wasn't much to save
You'd say it's a cover up
And you'd tell me just to sleep it off tonight
And we lay with a thousand miles between us
And all the sheets have twisted up with time
And I don't want to lie
Oh and I know it's so much easier to let it slide
But I don't care if I have to be the one you blame
You'd say it's a cover up
And you'd tell me just to sleep it off tonight
And we lay with a thousand miles between us
And all the sheets have twisted up with time
And I don't want to lie
All these dreams have twisted up with time
You, you must have put a spell me on baby
Cause I, I can't get you out of my mind
no matter if it's night or day
I might be asleep or wide awake
The thought of you is bugging me all of the time
I find talking a struggle
So pour me a double
cause I've got something to say baby
I'm about to shout it out from the rooftops
I got it written all over my face
I'm done holding back I'm pulling out all stops
I'll take a leap of faith
So I'm ready if you're ready
So come with me if you're with me yeah
I might as well shout it out from the rooftops
Cause I'm so in love, it's crazy
You know I try, I try not to dream about you
But I just can't help wondering if you feel the same
If I keep it locked inside
This love is gonna eat me alive
Oh I can't wait to feel your touch again
I'm hiding a secret
but how am I gonna keep it
When all I ever think about is letting you know
I'm about to shout it out from the rooftops
I got it written all over my face
I'm done holding back I'm pulling out all stops
I'll take a leap of faith
So I'm ready if you're ready
So come with me if you're with me yeah
I might as well shout it out from the rooftops
Cause I'm so in love
It's crazy
I could never get enough of you
It's crazy
Just look at what a little love can do
It's crazy
To think that I was all alone and then you saved me
I'm about to shout it out from the rooftops
I got it written all over my face
I'm done holding back I'm pulling out all stops
I'll take a leap of faith
So I'm ready if you're ready
So come with me if you're with me yeah
I might as well shout it out from the rooftops
Cause I'm so in love it's crazy
The girl in the mirror said I told you so but you didn't wanna hear me out
you took your chances and it burned your hopes but it's too late to turn around
now I'm older, old enough to know better
when to let things go
And there's nothing, nothing I can't face
No there's nothing, keeping me from turning the page
I got one thing, one thing I got to say,
they can try to control, put a hold on my soul
but I'm breaking away
I see familiar faces follow me, it's like they're everywhere I go
they're all just pieces of some memory of a person that they used to know
That somebody is slipping out of reach
somebody gone with history
And there's nothing, nothing I can't face
No there's nothing, keeping me from turning the page
I got one thing, one thing I got to say,
They can try to control, put a hold on my soul
But I'm breaking away
There's nowhere to go when you're stranded
on an island that's caught in a drift, far from home
I'm so much stronger, than I'll ever know
And there's nothing, nothing I can't face
No there's nothing, keeping me from turning the page
I got one thing, one thing I got to say,
They can try to control, put a hold on my soul
But I'm breaking away
You said we were unbreakable
But it was impossible
To get in tune with you
you said you were unphaseble
But something I did
Must have struck a cord with you.
It's always been you
I try to control my emotions
but I'm beraly hanging on
I find I just can't focus
on what's really going on
However hard I try
The words come out all wrong
This aint supposed to be a lovesong
But I can't get over you
I thought we were unstoppable
Until you went and locked the door
And you changed the key on me
Your love's irreplaceble
And I dont know how
To get back in harmony
Now it's just me
I try to control my emotions
but i'm barely hanging on
I find I just can't focus
On what's really going on
However hard I try
Oh the words come out all wrong
This aint supposed to be a love song
But I can't get over you
No matter where you are
You know
You know I'll come running
No bridge can be to far
If you'll meet me half way
I try to control my emotions
But I'm barely hanging on
I find I just can't focus
On what's really going on
However hard I try
The words come out all wrong
This aint supposed to be a love song
I try but I can't fight it
Now I'm barely hanging on
I know that I've been blinded
To what's really going on
However hard I try
The words come out all wrong
This aint supposed to be a lovesong
But I can't get over you
Been living on the edge of a life
That promised a world
Where impossible is nothing
Took a leaf from the good book
Took a slap in the face
But now I'm on to something
So here comes the new color
Here comes the new creed
I know it’s just a matter of time
And as long as I believe
All I gotta do is
(Wait)
A little longer now
Getting stronger now
You gotta
(generate, generate, wait)
A little longer now
You can ride it out
You gotta
(generate generate Wait)
Oh these times were born in
They make it hard to find your calling
(gotta Wait)
Just a little longer
Cause I know I’m on my way
Never felt I was living my life
Till I took the chance
To step out the shadows
Like a bird that's stuck in a cage
When I closed my eyes I could sing from a mountain top
So here comes the new color
Here comes the new creed
I've got the strength of a million souls
And as long as I believe
All I gotta do is
(Wait)
A little longer now
Getting stronger now
You gotta
(generate, generate, wait)
A little longer now
You can ride it out
You gotta
(generate generate Wait)
Oh these times were born in
They make it hard to find your calling
(gotta Wait)
Just a little longer
Cause I know I’m on my way
The truth ain't comfortable
But if you want it allThe best things come to those who can
Dust off the dirt, and put in the work but you better be ready
(Wait)
A little longer now
Getting stronger now
You gotta
(generate, generate, wait)
A little longer now
You can ride it out
You gotta
(generate generate Wait)
Oh these times were born in
They make it hard to find your calling
(gotta Wait)
Just a little longer
Cause I know I’m on my way
Mister, don't you remember, somebody lead you astray
we went our separate ways
Seems you forgot me until you needed somewhere to stay
but this isn't your lucky day
Let's not pretend that we can be friends, you're on your own your little knock on my door doesn't work anymore
'cause I don't wanna know
Why don't you shout about it, scream down the town about it Go tell your mama cause it's not my business
Why don't you cry about it, make up a lie about it
Run to your mama cause it's not my business
It's over, cause I'm done
Now I'm gone, so move on
Start up your engine
and get the motor rollin'
I'm sick of telling you it's not my business
Mister, your talk gets old, it's been round the block, you ain't saying nothing at all
Do you really think I'm so soft that you'll get whatever you want
You just don't get it at all
Let's not pretend that this didn't end, you're on your own
Wouldn't let you dirty my floor, like I let you before
Cause I don't wanna know
Why don't you shout about it, scream down the town about it
Go tell your mama cause it's not my business
Go see a shrink about it, see what he thinks about it
Run to your mama cause it's not my business
It's over, cause I'm done
Now I'm gone, so move on
Start up your engine
And get the motor rollin'
I'm sick of telling' you it's not my business
oohhhhh no oo
'Cause were over
Yeah were done
My love's grown cold for you
So you're mad
That's too bad
Go run and tell your mother
Why don't you shout about it, scream down the town about it
Go tell your mama cause it's not my business
Go see a shrink about it, see what he thinks about it
Run to your mama cause it's not my business
It's over, cause I'm done
Now I'm gone, so move on
Start up your engine
And get the motor rollin'
I'm sick of telling' you it's not my business
So the rain is pouring down
On the streets where you roam
And the pavement's made of sand
Where there used to be stone
Now you're stuck in broken dreams
But your eyes are open wide
Still it's hard for you to see
in the darkest of the night
But hold on
Time will ease the pain eventually
So hold on
Soon the day will come you'll see
The wind will guide you through the storm
you will overcome
Let water float you back to shore
you will overcome
When the battle knocks you down
To the ground
You know you can lean on me as long as you need
so you can overcome
Even though the road is hard
it’s not a dead end street
Though it’s scary where you are
its not where you’ll always be
So hold on
Time will heal your wounds eventually
Hold on
to all your dearest memories
I wish that I
Could paint your sky
From grey to blue
That’s what I’d do
I would take the pain
Just to see you smile again
Make it all go away
There was a time, I used to look into my father's eyes
In a happy home, I was a queen, I had a golden throne
Those days are gone, now the memories are on the wall
I still hear the sounds from the places where I was born
Up on the hill, across the blue lake,
That's where I had my first heartbreak
I now remember how it all changed
My father said
Don't you worry, don't you worry child
See, heaven's got a plan for you
Don't you worry, don't you worry now
My father said
Don't you worry, don't you worry
Cause heaven's got a plan for you
Don't you worry, don't you worry now
There was a time, I met a boy of a different kind
We ruled the world, I thought I'll never lose him out of sight
We were so young, I think of him now and then
I still hear the songs, reminding me of a friend
Up on the hill across the blue lake
That's where I had my first heartbreak
I now remember how it all changed
My father said
Don't you worry, don't you worry child
Caus' heaven's got a plan for you
Don't you worry, don't you worry now, yeah
My father said
Don't you worry, don't you worry child
Caus' heaven's got a plan for you
Don't you worry, don't you worry now, yeah
My father said
Don't you worry, don't you worry child
Caus' heaven's got a plan for you
Don't you worry, don't you worry now, yeah
