breathe
looking out over the years
all dressed up in tears
to late to catch that train
as if it would’ve meant the same
breathe
breathe
i just need to
breathe
love drops off one by one
i’ll count them all when i’m done
each day bleeds away
the words i just can’t say
breathe
breathe
i just need to
breathe
in the shadows of a false love
i found i’ve had enough
burning my last bridge
i step up to the edge
breathe

i just need to
breathe
feel me, hear me, see me

where's the love
where’s the love i use to know
where’s the love
where’s the love
where’s the love i use to know
dripping down from above
i lost the right to say a word
the day i was born
came kicking and screaming
i guess i’ll go out that way
where’s the love i use to know
where’s the love
where’s the love
where’s the love i use to know
shinning down from above
i saw the light of day
at the hands of a righteous hypocrite
gone are the days of dreaming
i guess i’ll just fade away
wheres’ the love i use to know...

the righteous hypocrite
what makes you turn on a dime
dancing across the turth in time
believing all is forgiving with a prayer
cause he’s coming down to save her
thats the way its gonna be
says me
so do as i say not as i do
its only thing that matters to you
go running for the light
cause right equals might
in the eyes of the righteous hypocrite
the righteous hypocrite
stand the line don’t bend or break
doing it all for gods own sake
standing alone in a room full of memories
brushing away the turth from your eyes
thats the...

what's the matter with me
wipe the tears from my eyes
as i walk away from all the lies
years go by still not a whisper
the pain still lingers growing deeper
i need to move
i can’t move
i need to move on
what’s the matter with me
a slave to all my insecurities
i can’t let go
i can’t say so
what’s the matter with me
what’s the matter with me
baby please please
taking the knife out of my back
watching my heart fade to black
telling myself it’s not worth the pain
but i keep picking at the scars again and again
i need to move
i can’t move...

on the outside
i’m on the outside
looking in
on the outside
again
baby can’t you see
i’m on the outside
looking in
on the outside
baby again
watching the time slip away
each and everyday
reaching out for something
always feeling the sting
you not suppose to be here anyway
i heard them say
oh baby
i’m on the outside
looking in
on the outside
again
baby can’t you see
i’m on the outside

on the outside
baby again
maybe i could find away
just what they all say
my ear to the wall...

baby please
i sat down to write you a letter
i thought my words would serve me better
what can i say what can i do
nothing i say gets through to you
ah now baby please
stop the pain and lies
such hate filled eyes
says it all to me
ah but baby please
i can’t imagine what goes through your head
i thinking back to the all the things you said
how can i forget how can i let go
when you have a heart that sinks so low
ah now baby please

such hate filled eyes
just crushes me

we ran
we’ve been running from something,
so many years outside looking in
down this road that’s leading us nowhere
all we’ve got is right now right here
she took my hand and we ran
and we ran ran and ran
till our hearts became one
in the eyes of the sun
we ran
do you want to see
the place where were free
we’ve been watching the world roll by
tears on her pillow i watch her cry
wishing we could just start again
wash away all our sins
she took my hand and we ran
and we ran ran ran
till our hearts became one
in the eyes...

not another day
woke up this morning
with this aching in my head
can’t get myself focused
can’t raise my weary head
no no baby no
been watching these lights
dripping down my wall
close those curtains honey
before i trip and fall
no no baby no
can you bring me a mirror darling
let me scare myself to death
wake some hidden feelings
help me catch my breath
ohh no no baby oh noooo
i can’t face the another day
no no baby no
not another day
no no baby no
woke up this morning
to find the meaning of life...

my heart
walking through the valley of my regret
seeing all the things i’d like to forget
death, mistrust, lost souls i’ve loved
if i could just breathe
breathe again
maybe it all could be solved
with a kiss
a kiss from you
could heal my heart
heal my heart, my heart
if just for a little while
a kiss from you
could heal my heart
heal my heart, my heart
my heart now baby
I woke this morning feeling all my years
testing the waters of my tears
the weight keeps pulling me down, down
if i could just breathe
breathe again...

good night denny lee
never thought i would be this way
never thought i’d see the day
i’d lose your smile
never imagined what i’d have to say
the day you went away
all the while
still dreaming
dreaming of
those bright blues eyes
saying there last good byes
oh i just want to say
good night denny lee
sleep tight
don’t let nothing bite
good night denny lee
good night
let the waves of love
wash over me
never thought i would be this way
that i’d ever have to see the day
i’d lose that smile
never imagined...

wishing on you
whats the matter now
it all seems wrong somehow
dates and times i can’t remember
it’s this pain that last forever
it colors me blind
here at the end of my line
distant memories i can’t forget
no. no not just yet
wishing
wishing
wishing on you
it’s all i can do
all i can do
so true
once my dreams seemed so real
wrapped up in a love i feel
left me hanging
left me dangling
here
