"I think it's dark and it looks like rain" you said "And the wind is blowing like it's the end of the world" you said "And it's so cold, it's like the cold if you were dead" Then you smiled for a second "I think I'm old and I'm feeling pain" you said "And it's all running out like it's the end of the world" you said "And it's so cold, it's like the cold if you were dead" Then you smiled for a second Sometimes you make me feel Like I'm living at the edge of the world Like I'm living at the edge of the world "It's just the way I smile" you said

There was truth There was consequence against you A weak defense, then there's me I'm seventeen, looking for a fight All my life, I was never there Just a ghost, running scared Here our dreams aren't made They're won Lost in the city of angels Down in the comfort of strangers, I Found myself in the fire burned hills In the land of a billion lights Bought my fate, straight from hell Second sight has paid off well For a mother, a brother and me The silver of a lake at night The hills of Hollywood on fire A boulevard of hope and dreams Streets made of desire Lost in the city of angels Down in the comfort of strangers, I Found myself in the fire burned hills In the land of a billion lights I am home

Turn away If you could get me a drink Of water 'cause my lips are chapped and faded Call my Aunt Marie Help her gather all my things And bury me in all my favorite colors My sisters and my brothers, still I will not kiss you 'Cause the hardest part of this is leaving you Now turn away 'Cause I'm awful just to see 'Cause all my hairs abandoned all my body Oh, my agony Know that I will never marry Baby, I'm just soggy from the chemo But counting down the days to go It just ain't living And I just hope you know That if you say Goodbye today I'd ask you to be true 'Cause the hardest part of this is leaving you 'Cause the hardest part of this is leaving you

All of the black and white All of the contours Are laid out before me, now To leave a trace With all of the light and shame We take up our own space I'll find my own way back Back to the past tense A lifeline to highs and lows To seeing the bright side And I should know We wait for the afterglow To cover the blind side And I should know All of the empty thoughts All of the outlines Are laid out before us, now To leave a trace All of your words and mine They keep returning I'll find my own way back Back to the silence A lifeline to highs and lows To seeing the bright side And I should know We wait for the afterglow To cover the blind side And I should know I've given up all I can

It took time, took time to develop a concept A new me, based upon the traits from which I could not flee It took time, took time to embrace the nature of my dreams All this time just turned into a sad long wait This sad long tale of moments passé must come to an end before it is too late Wasn't born to hate, I was made to love but I never knew it was so hard It took time, took time to accept the fact that one must lose everything except what you do not choose It's taken time, long time and yet more time it will take before my heart is free and brave enough to break This sad long tale of moments passé must come to an end before it is too late Wasn't born to hate, I was made to love but I never knew it was so hard This sad bouquet of forget-me-nots that I threw away is growing scars and spots on this weary heart where there's a bird, so shy but one of these days that bird will learn to fly

We took a walk that night, but it wasn't the same We had a fight on the promenade out in the rain She said she loved me, but she had somewhere to go She couldn't scream while I held her close I swore I'd never let her go Tell me what you wanna know Oh come on, oh come on, oh come on There ain't no motive for this crime Jenny was a friend of mine So come on, oh come on, oh come on I know my rights, I've been here all day and it's time For me to go, so let me know if it's alright I just can't take this, I swear I told you the truth She couldn't scream while I held her close I swore I'd never let her go Tell me what you wanna know Oh come on, oh come on, oh come on And then you whisper in my ear I know what you're doing here So come on, oh come on, oh come on There ain't no motive for this crime Jenny was a friend of mine Oh come on, oh come on, oh come on

Your ways, my ways Never, always My future, my past My first, my last Heartbreak, I'm not holding your hand any more Why can't you understand? Euphoria, take my hand Euphoria... Right time, wrong line Myself, I'm alien I swear to god, lies and bad thoughts 1, 2, 3, 4, let go Heartbreak, I'm not holding your hand any more Why can't you understand? Euphoria, take my hand Euphoria...

There are times when we question the things we know We never thought that the cracks would begin to show We both know love is not that easy I wish I'd known that it would be this hard to be alone Please, come home The loverless nights, they seem so long I know that I'll hold you someday But till you come back where you belong It's just another lonely Sunday Is this the end of a love that has just began? I always hoped that the best, it was yet to come So please, come back, don't you leave me We're both so young, I know you need me too And there'll always be times like these The loverless nights, they seem so long I know that I'll hold you someday But till you come back where you belong It's just another lonely Sunday And maybe we'll see that we were wrong If ever we look back one day But till you come back where you belong It's just another lonely Sunday Lonely, lonely If you don't come back tomorrow I'll be left here in the cold If you don't come back tomorrow, I'll go The loverless nights, they seem so long I know that I'll hold you someday But till you come back where you belong It's just another lonely Sunday And maybe we'll see that we were wrong If ever we look back one day But till you come back where you belong It's just another lonely Sunday Lonely (lonely Sunday) Lonely (lonely Sunday) Lonely Sunday

A door I've yet to open A secret I need knowing A rock I cherish instead of throwing My river to this sea still flowing You My glow in the dark sea horse never not glowing Through my sails this breeze is blowing My child, my flame forever growing My scars from the past I admit I'm postponing for you You A life long debt I don't mind owing It was to you Bowie sang 'he rose in' Never my loneliness can truly be alone When future visions of true love is everyday showing You

It is about time to face it Surrender and then start again I don't know if I could make it But there has got to come an end If I stay in this place every hour is another day Let the walls come falling down and the fear washes away Running forever Longing for your love so cool For something better I'll never stop following you So may the road rise up to meet me May the wind be at my back All of this will soon be over I don't think I'll be coming back Though I fear what is to come I must soldier on and try to see At the end of the road someone holds out for me Running forever Longing for your love so cool For something better I'll never stop following you I was longing for your love Longing for your love so cool Running forever Longing for your love so cool For something better I'll never stop following you Let's run forever Looking for your love so cool To somewhere better I'll never stop following you I was longing for your love Longing for your love so cool
