dear God,
can you hear me or is it way too late?
are you sleeping and is this thing too far gone to save?
i heard the words he told me
but i don't know if i understood
when he said he had to leave was it for now or for good?
so dear God, i'm reaching out
oh, dear God, i need you now
can you help me make sense of this?
'cause right now in my mind
i don't really recognize this thing that i call my life
when i'm talking to all my friends
they say don't you cry
it'll all come together, it'll get better in time
but if he's dead set on leaving, i can't make him wanna stay
the only thing that i can do is fold my hands and pray
fold my hands and pray, dear God
dear God
i think everybody thought we had it all
and even i couldn't have predicted this kind of fall
it's truly the kind of thing you've gotta see it to believe
but i'll be damned if it isn't standing right in front of me
so can you help me make sense of this?
'cause right now in my mind
i don't really recognize this thing that i call my life
when i'm talking to all my friends
they say don't you cry
it'll all come together, it'll get better in time
but if he's dead set on leaving, i can't make him wanna stay
the only thing that i can do is fold my hands and pray
fold my hands and pray, dear God
if he's dead set on leaving, i can't make him wanna stay
the only thing that i can do is fold my hands and pray
fold my hands and pray
can you help me make sense of this?
'cause right now in my mind
i don't really recognize this thing that i call my life
when i'm talking to all my friends
they say don't you cry
it'll all come together, it'll get better in time
but if he's dead set on leaving, i can't make him wanna stay
the only thing that i can do is fold my hands and pray
fold my hands and pray, dear God

who are we
04:33
|
|||
somewhere in a closet
on a shelf collecting dust
is a box that's long forgotten
where we keep the old us
mostly out of sight and out of mind
but the memories hang around
oh the we from back in time
is not the same as we are now
who are we, and what have we done with us?
who are we, and what have we done with us?
ask me seven years ago
if i thought we'd come to this
no way did i ever think
we'd merely coexist
never thought the laughter would be replaced
with silence twice as loud
and my lover laying next to me at night
feels like a stranger now
who are we, and what have we done with us?
who are we, and what have we done with us?
who are we, and what have we done with us?
who are we, and what have we done with us?
who are we, and what have we done with us?
who are we, and what have we done with us?

mona lisa

|

everybody's lookin' at your picture
they think that they've got you figured out
she's probably hiding something,
i can see it in her eyes
just waiting on you to break that crooked smile
and you never say a thing
and i'm trying like hell to do the same
i've been keeping the mess zipped up
walking around acting tough
playing it safe, playing the game
whatever it takes
and everybody's got their story
everybody thinks they know me
a million versions of the truth
just like they do
with Mona Lisa
with Mona Lisa
oh, and if you cry, you're probably dramatic
if you smile, you're probably insane
so i keep it somewhere in the middle to save face
'cause i don't wanna hear what they have to say anyway
oh, i've been keeping the mess zipped up
walking around acting tough
playing it safe, playing the game
whatever it takes
and everybody's got their story
everybody thinks they know me
a million versions of the truth
just like they do
with Mona Lisa
with Mona Lisa
i got good at faking it through
and i bet she did too
oh, i've been keeping the mess zipped up
walking around acting tough
playing it safe, playing the game
whatever it takes
and everybody's got their story
everybody thinks they know me
a million versions of the truth
just like they do
oh, i've been keeping the mess zipped up
walking around acting tough
playing it safe, playing the game
whatever it takes
and everybody's got their story
everybody thinks they know me
a million versions of the truth
just like they do
with Mona Lisa
with Mona Lisa
oh, with Mona Lisa
with Mona Lisa

come alive
04:36
|
|||
i keep it together in public
just to sit in my car and cry
yeah, maybe it looks like i love it
but i'm dying on the inside
i try not to let it affect me
try to go on about my day
make it seem like the fact that you left me
is something i can tolerate
but it feels like i'm losing my mind
yes, it feels like
it feels like all my pages
if you read them line by line
wouldn't match what's on the surface
or the words written on my spine
it feels like i've been running
seeking shelter all the time
but it's easier than showing face to run and hide
but there's light after the darkness by design
oh, i'm feeling like i'm ready to come alive
the wreckage you left inside me
reminds me i'm finally free
as hard as it is, i'm finding
the beauty in the tragedy
but it feels like i'm losing my mind
oh yes it feels like
it feels like all my pages
if you read them line by line
wouldn't match what's on the surface
or the words written on my spine
it feels like i've been running
seeking shelter all the time
but it's easier than showing face to run and hide
but there's light after the darkness by design
yes i'm feeling like i'm ready to come alive
to come alive
to come alive

lovin' somebody right
04:14
|
|||
in the beginning, no we could never get enough
we felt like you and i were so lucky to find
this once in a lifetime love
but time kept right on moving
just like it always does
made a way to separate the two of us
this door may be closing
but my heart is open
it may be broken
but i know when a good thing comes
i’m gonna let him pull me close
i’m gonna let him sweep me off my feet
gonna let him see the sides of me that you decided to leave
i’m gonna hold on with all i got
but never too tight
i’m not gonna let you doing me wrong
keep me from loving somebody right
in my position, you might think this was a mistake
maybe i was a fool to trust you
just look at the mess you’ve made
but honey, i got no time for turning
what we had into regret
don’t wanna waste another minute thinking
that i could never love again
oh, i’m gonna let him pull me close
i’m gonna let him sweep me off my feet
gonna let him see the sides of me that you decided to leave
i’m gonna hold on with all i got
but never too tight
i’m not gonna let you doing me wrong
keep me from loving somebody right
this door may be closing
but my heart is open
it may be broken
but i know when a good thing comes
this door may be closing
but my heart is open
it may be broken
but i know when a good thing comes
i’m gonna let him pull me close
i’m gonna let him sweep me off my feet
gonna let him see the sides of me that you decided to leave
i’m gonna hold on with all i got
but never too tight
i’m not gonna let you doing me wrong
keep me from loving somebody right

another you
04:15
|

all i need in the morning
is a blue sky and the sunlight
peeking through
all i need in someone to hold me close
all i need is an easy love that’s true
with a soft kiss
and a sweet touch
please say this
isn’t too much
oh, i need to find somebody
who doesn’t make love feel like it’s so hard to do
oh i need to find someone
who can find a million ways to love me like i never knew
but i don’t need, no i don’t need another you
no i don’t need the kind of lovin’
that underestimates the work it takes
to keep this going smooth
oh i could never have the kind of man
who don’t understand the truth (that)
i need to find somebody
who doesn’t make love feel like it’s so hard to do
oh i need to find someone
who can find a million ways to love me like i never knew
but i don’t need, no i don’t need another you
i don't need another you
no i don't
oh, i need to find somebody
who doesn’t make love feel like it’s so hard to do,
ooohhhh
oh, i need to find somebody
who doesn’t make love feel like it’s so hard to do
oh i need to find someone
who can find a million ways to love me like i never knew
but i don’t need, no i don’t need
no i don't need, no i don't need
oh, i don't need, i don't need another you

like it shoulda
04:43
|
|||
i'll never say that i hate you
can't say i totally blame you
got no motivation to publicly shame you
what kind of good would that do?
ask me, no, i don’t regret it
i said i’m done and i meant it
guess i’m just not interested
in pushing mountains i know will never move
you can tell it how you want
you can say it’s all my fault
you can say that it was all a mistake
(but i believe) it all ended like it should’ve
(what’s meant to be will be)
would i do all again, you know i would’ve
(in half of a heartbeat)
if given half a chance to go all the way back
i’d do it all the same
'cause you left me better than when you came
so many versions of the truth
so many words that i had left to say to you
but there were just too many things i couldn't do
except bite the bullet, hold my tongue, move right on through
i hope that you ain’t hurtin’ anymore
i hope you found that thing you always said you were lookin’ for
i hope you found yourself on the right side of the score
'cause with every passing moment i feel it more and more in my bones
(that) it all ended like it should’ve
(what’s meant to be will be)
would i do all again, you know i would’ve
(in half of a heartbeat)
if given half a chance to go all the way back
i’d do it all the same
'cause you left me better than when you came
yes you did now
i checked my conscience the other day
just to make sure we were all ok
but them voices in my head had nothin’ to say
so I gave ‘em a smile, i turned around, and went on my merry way
('cause) it all ended like it should’ve
(what’s meant to be will be)
would i do all again, you know i would’ve
(in half of a heartbeat)
if given half a chance to go all the way back
i'd do it all the same
'cause you left me better than when you came

what do you say when there’s nothing worth saying
when there’s nothing left to do
when it ain’t even worth asking
‘cause you know he wont tell the truth
when you’re two words from the end
and the love has long been gone
and you can’t think of a reason
that keeps you hanging on
when he looks you dead in the eye
and he says i love you too
but you see straight through the lie
‘cause you’ve already seen the proof
oh i don’t have nothing
but it’s better than being stuck with
stuck with you and your alibis
laying with you in this bed of lies
i’ll pack every last thing i own
and i’ll be gone before you get home
last night was the last you’ll see of me
i’m counting down the minutes ‘til i’m free
i can’t wait to see that sunrise
can’t wait for day to break
as silent as that sun comes up
i'll be making my escape
i wont look back as i’m leaving
i wont answer when you call
the only think worse than saying goodbye
is saying nothing at all
oh i don’t have nothing
but it’s better than being stuck with
stuck with you and your alibis
laying with you in this bed of lies
i’ll pack every last thing i own
and i’ll be gone before you get home
last night was the last you’ll see of me
i’m counting down the minutes ‘til i’m free
oh he looked me dead in the eye
and he said i love you too
but i saw through the light
‘cause i’d already seen the proof
oh i don’t have nothing
but it’s better than being stuck with
stuck with you and your alibis
laying with you in this bed of lies
i’ll pack every last thing i own
and i’ll be gone before you get home
last night was the last you’ll see of me
i’m counting down the minutes ‘til i’m free
oh 'til i'm free
i'm counting down the minutes 'til i'm free

what's left of me
04:49
|
|||
there’s not too many stones left unturned
too many lessons left unlearned
what do i have left to give to you?
there’s not much of this heart left to break
much of this soul left unstained
what do i have left to give to you?
oh i've been feelin' like nothing more
than shattered pieces scattered on the floor
half of who i was before
what’s left of me
i hope it’s something close to what you need
'cause i can’t control
what happened in the past but you should know
that every word i say to you is true
and every part even if it’s black and blue
i give to you
there are too many bridges that i’ve burned
too many scars that i’ve earned
what do i have left to give to you
gave my forever to someone else
i watched it all go to hell
what do i have left to give to you
what’s left of me
i hope it’s something close to what you need
'cause i can’t control
what happened in the past but you should know
that every word i say to you is true
and every part even if it’s black and blue
i give to you
what’s left of me
i hope it’s something close to being something that you need
what’s left of me
i hope it’s something close to what you need
'cause i can’t control
what happened in the past but you should know
that every word i say to you is true
and every part even if it’s black and blue
i give to you
