KEEP COMING BACK
You know just how to hurt me And how to take all the pain away Girl, you must be the devil in disguise There were times, I think you knew When I was so afraid of you There's some kind of madness in your eyes You know a place buried deep in my heart Nobody else can see Something in you has taken some kind of hold on me Chorus I don't know why I keep coming back to you, baby I don't know why I keep coming back to you To you baby You say we shouldn't be lovers And I say we can't just be friends And all this talking just makes me want you more You've got a way of confusing a heart That nobody else could do Why should I try, I don't want to get over you Repeat Chorus I'm so in love, so in love with the games that you play So in love, and nothing can keep me away You've got a way of confusing a heart That nobody else could do Why should I try, I don't want to get over you I don't know why I keep coming back to you Just tell me why I keep coming back to you
CHAINS AROUND MY HEART
Out of my sight / But the vision is still the same Out of my mind / But the memory remains unchanged Stones thrown in anger hold twice the hurt Return to sender could only make things worse Girl, you've got to break these chains around my heart Cause I've been lonely too long You've got to break these chains around my heart So I can finally get on with my life Don't ask me why / Why I've lived with this all alone Locked up inside / And it's cutting me to the bone Love is a stranger avoiding me Beware of danger's the only sign I see Girl, you've got to break these chains around my heart Cause I've been lonely too long You've got to break these chains around my heart So I can finally get on with my life Are you listening / Is there something that you'd like to say Am I getting through / Are you just gonna leave me this way Girl, you've got to break these chains around my heart Before it tears me in two You've got to break these chains around my heart That's all I'm asking of you You've got to break these chains around my heart Cause I've been lonely too long You've got to break these chains around my heart So I can finally get on with my life
BIG BOY NOW
I've been searching / Not the first or the last Trying to figure out the mystery of the half empty glass Time is turning for the rest of the world While a temporary leap of faith helps the story unfurl They say that hearts don't stay broken Even though the scars remain And eyes don't stay swollen Even if it feels that way Chorus But it's not that serious / I'm a big boy now And I'm not delirious / So don't show me how Cause I've gotten beyond the agony And my perspective is saving me Never doubted what the cards would reveal And if the joker showed his ugly face Not that big of a deal It's just a moment in the scheme of it all But it's difficult to visualize when the axe starts to fall But then a heart won't stay broken Even on its darkest day The right door could open Pick you up and drift away (Repeat Chorus) With all the confusion How does anybody come through But life is illusion And no one can tell you what you've gotta do You know a heart won't stay broken Even on its darkest day The right door could open Pick you up and drift away (Repeat Chorus)
CALLING YOU
I had a dream that you stood right in front of me And called to me in black and white Though I could see you / I couldn't reach you You faded into the light And when the sun turns a dream to reality I'm left with such an empty space I feel your spirit / Know that I'm near it I swear I can see your face Hear me calling you / Calling you But you just don't seem to answer anymore Am I supposed to pretend I don't feel the pain Like it happened only yesterday No use in trying / To stop the crying I can't make it go away Hear me calling you / Calling you But you just don't seem to answer anymore I'm calling you / Calling you And I'm afraid you won't answer anymore Where is the healing you promised me Maybe this feeling will burn in me forever Hear me calling you / Calling you But you just don't seem to answer anymore I'm calling you / Calling you And I'm afraid you won't answer anymore Calling you and I'm afraid that you won't answer anymore
YOUR WORLD
The warmest day of all my life You came to me, I held you in my hands And something changed forever I want you for a better time To know the beauty of our Mother Earth Cherish her forever Never felt in such a hurry So little time, so much to do I lie awake and dream the dreams I'll share with you This is your world now No one can chase all your fears away This is your world now Trust in your heart to lead the way I still recall a day so clear I saw the future in my mother's eyes Filled with tears of sorrow The years roll by, the times do change The truth around us harder to disguise As we face tomorrow So many promises were made me So little hope remains alive I only pray the dreams I leave you will survive This is your world now No one can chase all your fears away Fight for your world now Trust in your heart to find the way You'll see what I'm saying / When you're on your own The war that you're facing / Isn't yours alone I am a man in search of reasons Though I am still as much to blame It's up to me to leave you more than just my name This is your world now No one can chase all your fears away Fight for your world now Trust in your heart to lead the way This is your world now I want to chase all your fears away Fight for your world now I know that somehow you'll find your way
TAKE THIS HEART
I've been where you are before No one understands it more You fear every step you take So sure that your heart will break It's not how the story ends You'll be back on your feet again Chorus Baby, this time There ain't nothing gonna take this heart away No more goodbyes There ain't nothing gonna take my heart away The pain's still alive in you For what one man put you through You say that we're all the same But I'm called by no other name We all need a place to run Won't you let me be the one Repeat Chorus Don't keep the dream in you locked outside your door Just believe in this love And don't be afraid anymore I need you to please be strong I've waited for you too long Repeat Chorus There ain't nothing gonna take this heart away Oh whoah
Hazard
My mother came to Hazard when I was just seven Even then the folks in town said with prejudiced eyes That boy's not right Three years ago when I came to know Mary First time that someone looked beyond the rumors and the lies And saw the man inside We used to walk down by the river She loved to watch the sun go down We used to walk along the river And dream our way out of this town No one understood what I felt for Mary No one cared until the night she went out walking alone And never came home Man with a badge came knocking next morning Here was I surrounded by a thousand fingers suddenly Pointed right at me I swear I left her by the river I swear I left her safe and sound I need to make it to the river And leave this old Nebraska town I think about my life gone by How it's done me wrong There's no escape for me this time All of my rescues are gone, long gone I swear I left her by the river I swear I left her safe and sound I need to make it to the river And leave this old Nebraska town |
