When you leave me alone,
the breeze sweeps me off my feet.
The Breeze knocked you off the beat-
my love is better than that, that's a promise!
When you leave me alone, I can't get enough of the same...
I gotta get you back into the scene..I had two once
Then I lost it all.
How much do we have to lose, lose right now?
'gotta get away from it, cause
I've got the same problems as you, the same problems as ME.
Don't Lose my Heart. Don't Lose my Heart.
When you leave me alone,
it's different when you've got the issues but no one to see,
gotta get my friends back in the car and chase you off to the sea again..I'll go as far as it takes.
but, WHY'D you have to leave me alone?
When you leave me alone, I can't get enough of the images I see,
What's been done to you could have caught up and then easily been me.
I'm lucky that it wasn't but I lost a brother.
I lost a brother, oh-oh,
I lost a brother, oh-no!
I lost a brother, aw yeah!
I lost a brother, oh-no!
I lost a brother, yeah yeah!
I lost a brother, oh-no!
I lost a brother aw yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh, yeah!
How much do we have to lose, lose right now?
'gotta get away from it, cause
I've got the same problems as you, the same problems as ME.
Don't Lose my Heart. Don't Lose my Heart.
I lost a brother, oh-no..
I lost a brother, aw yeah!
I lost a brother-oh-no.
I lost a another, yeah yeah!

How do I start moving on like everybody else I know,
Like it's fine? (you said it's fine)
Told me I'm the best, now I'm reading at my own level.
I was desperate to know why I can't help you....
I wasn't enough, I never am. I let myself think that sometimes.
Oh and how crazy I get when I'm alone,
'cause I'm STUCK and all I can do is dance so let's kick it- right now.
Why, why, why would you ever wanna treat me like that?
So bad
I'm already frustrated now I can't be anything but mad, so mad.
La da ba ba da dum
La da ba ba da dum
I accosted you while you were heading for the door and I said "Look! I feel that there's a bigger plan for all of us inside ourselves!"
She said "I had a look...but couldn't find shit there."
So instead we're listening to something in the air, it's music!
Now I'm not sadder than I was before.
I think you've made your feelings loud and clear.
You're not a pacifist, nor the compassion activist you say
This break is politics well, (I) already know that's Bullshit (DROP!)
So Why....
Would you ever wanna treat me like that?
So bad.
I'm already frustrated now I can't be anything but mad, just so mad.
You've gotta learn to know when you've got to end a conversation like that, it's so bad.
I'm already frustrated and I don't wanna end up MAD, always MAD HA HA HA HA.
break me down, I'll get back up.
I always do- oh oh ooooh oooh
Ancient Child, where you been?
Do you regret all the things we did and said?
SO WHY
Would you ever wanna treat me like that?
It's so bad!
I'm already frustrated now I can't be anything but mad, just so mad.
I had to learn to know when to have a conversation with my own self-
to let go of you!
CHECK ME OUT
WILL I COME UNDONE?
I think there's a place for me now! Let's mark it off....

Take it to Heart

Soon we'll be apart...
With two different moons but you know I've got the same heart
That aches for you always....never seems to go away...
You ring me like a bell (ring me like a bell)
How ya gunna push me down/
Well I don't think you'll find anyway else!
No! You've gotta chill...Enjoy the music....
And I'll take this one to heart!
You hold me up against the Walls,
When everybody says to come down now oh it's a trap.
I'm. Fine. It's all you. BUT
You gotta wear me down, I'm a softie, I swear it.
Both my exes can attest to it, why am I goin' and endorsin' their asses in a song?
I'm worth more than that but I guess deep in my mind I WISH YOU LOVED ME BETTER.
So let's be friends lets not be, I wish you loved me better than them, and it makes me so mad.
But I want you to stay,
Oh where would you go, with me, now?
WHY CAN'T YOU JUST STAY?
OH WHERE, Would you go, WITH ME NOW?
'Guess I'm gunna have to pull the band-aid off-
I'm beginning to see your face in different colors.
I'm beginning to understand one another.
you can let me off with just a slap on the wrist-
but that's all you do, that's all you've ever done, I want more, I want more.
Can't believe you left me hangin' like you did.
Let's be friends let's not be friends.
Can't believe you left me hangin' like you did.
Let's be friends let's not be friends.
Let's be friends let's not be friends.
Let's not be friends.
Let's be friends-let's-let's-let's-let's be friends LET'S NOT BE FRIENDS.
Can't believe you left me hangin' like you did.
Can't believe you left me hangin' like you did.
Like you did. Let's be friends, let's-let's-let's be friends.
Let's NOT BE FRIENDS.

You Still mean the world to me.
Without you, I'd have no dreams.
LF was the gift you gave to me...
That gift you gave me is making it hard to breathe.
I'm caught feeling like I've got-
An LFANT on my chest,
You put an elephant on my chest.
I can't let the past go with the breeze...(like you can)
Said you're doing fine, I'm on my KNEES
I respect you more than to make believe.
Take me once, you'll never get to take me again.
But I'm still feelin' like I-
Got an Elephant on my chest,
You put an LFANT on my chest.
An Elephant on my chest,
You put an LFANT on my chest!
We're inside the car-
It's 8 years ago.
I missed your every touch,
see you some day I know.
I'll see you around.
You put an Elephant on my chest-
Put an LFANT on my chest.
An LFANT on my chest,
you put an Elephant on my Chest!

JC- Lift me up when I need you most, I can't get enough of the good stuff...
It's proof that words will only get me so far, our lips can do better.
I think we could do it right-
I've got stars stuck in my eyes and I'm holding your hand
I see you laughing, I see us Dancing
Again and again
It Speaks to my Soul
It's strange ya know, I don't feel alone!
Hold my hand, and I'll hold yours too, You can feel me when I'm in or outside your room.
Tell me all the things that scare ya, I'll do 'em too!
Take my heart, do with it you'd like-
I just don't want it to be like last time.
Tell me all about the world you want to build with me.
Friday night you come over to my house and I've got all the pedals and roses.
You look at me like I shouldn't have done this- It's all I do! For you! I swear!
Hit me up once, I'll get you back soon. Make me believe that it's not only you.
I know that it isn't, and I know 'cause you did it!
I see you laughing, I see us dancing-
Again and again, and it's all that I wanted. What do I do now?
So hold my hand, I'll hold yours too-You can feel me when I'm in or outside your room.
Tell me all the things that scare ya - I'll do em too!
So take my Heart, do with it you'd like. I just don't want it to be like last time...
I hope I open up enough to tell here everything I can,
'bout how I love her so...she loves me to, loves, loves, loves me too-
I'm strong enough, strong enough for you-
You're strong enough, strong enough-
But I see you Laughing, I see us Dancing-
I see you Laughing, I see us Dancing and
I see you laughing, Is ee us Dancing again and again-
and again and again.

Damage

You've got the Damage I like-
I like the way you hurt so come bring me home.
Into your high-rise, sat up on the roof so we could count them back-
Stars in the Sky, Told me you don't want me around anymore...
So I left but I can't keep it up.
It's like a falling autumn rain, Desperate I will stay....
When I look back to see, you're gone.
You've got the damage I like,
I like the way you taught me how to dance-
Across your room, and I felt no fear of anything at all.
I've changed my name, where I live, don't think you can find me now.
I can't just stand there while you lie to my face and tell me-
I'M the one who's crazy! I'll call that gaslight!
You've got the damage I like-
Take this damage away-
Wish I heard you say, "I'm sorry for the way I was back then."

wake the dead
03:24

Wanna Pretend I still have all my friends,
So I don't lose anymore in the process.
Gotta let you know when I'm falling again,
So I don't become loose from my harness.
So let me know, Am I doing this right?
Or am I missing the target here?
'Cause I can't stand any word that you say,
Yeah I don't know if you're thinking clear....
So we've been suffering so we don't have to any longer-
We're stronger now!
We've been waking ourselves up from the dead!
I thought to myself "This could never happen to me...
Oh no.... What happens now, if we disagree?"
The Silence met with me
we wake the dead.
Taking up space in my mind is a burden,
I don't have to live with now.
I buried the THOT of you long long ago,
2015 is so far gone.
I'll continue the changes and not mess-up,
Got a space in my heart.
I left a note for you to read on the counter, it's all I could do....
We've been suffering so we don't have to any longer,
We're stronger now!
We've been waking ourselves up from the Dead!
Let's see if we can wake the dead!
Those noises- They Frighten everyone around me now....
They tell me, I need something more- (it's all I need, it's all I need)
I don't pretend that I still have all my friends because they
Left me for DEAD, AGAIN.

Reckless as I am
04:38
|
|||
|
I've been waiting for-
for the noise to quiet down.
I'm no stranger towards things that don't go my way.
As reckless as I am, I hope you're coming back...
Every time I fall, waiting for that sinking sound.
Thinking that this feeling is enough to turn around.
As Reckless as I am, I hope I can get back from this helplessness I have-
yeah.
Making strategies,
For when you fall out of reach but I'm alone doing so good!
Holding onto things I probably should release,
but I'll do that in my own way.
As reckless as I am,
you won't be coming back.
No, you won't be coming back to me.
As reckless as I was,
You'd never let me become-
Your Husband.

I'll Call You up.
04:34

|
When it hurts, That's when I need you here...
And this strange high, oh , it's gone now...
But everywhere I walk close to you, I have to change my step.
Only to be far off from you!
When everything is wonderful, you gotta wanna have it last
Need you to TELL ME WHEN to feel it cause I'm never gunna wanna come down, no
Chorus Addition:
No I'm never coming Down-oh-ah-ah-uh-ah-oh-uh-oh
My eyes!
Oh, I can't see what's in front of me anymore....
It was a war, not/now put to rest(is it?)
My heart is a foreigner in my chest, I don't want you to be everything I know
And I'm sick of my lies, everyone rise up.
Give me the strength to heal, move it up, back and forth, up and on....
ohhh....I'm watchin' my step.
(Sing Twice)
When everything is wonderful, you gotta wanna have it last
Need you to TELL ME WHEN to feel it cause I'm never gunna wanna come down...
Don't call me up, when I am doin' me,
So many days, i LET IT SLIP AWAY!
I'll call you up, when I'm done doin' me,
I'll let it slide just for now!
Wonder why....I run away from you,
So many times I've tried to reconcile, the differences,
But you and I will never change, the way I see the world without you is different now, it's different now.
(Brought down volume, emoted differently as well)
If EVERYTHING was wonderful, then life wouldn't be so fast,
Need you to tell me when to feel it 'cause I always wanna make this Last!
So tell me when to feel it 'cause I'm never gunna wanna come down
Yeah, Tell me when to feel it, cause I'm never coming...............
DOWN.

Colin Burke recommends:
Metaphorical Metal Fork
by Asleep At A Wake
There's a sort of fleeting honesty rivaled by none. Guitar tones that put you in tune with some thoughts that you tend to block out of your head most of the day, yet hold key importance.
