It's A Roller Coaster

Big city lights are all the same
dimly lighted so you can play the game
I'm on the hunt, I'm on the run
spending all my time and nights looking for you

Black top streets and dirty back roads
every where they say it's being sold
get there just behind you, I'm closing in
something tells me inside
you're just around the next bend

Please, don't hold me responsible
I tried my best to keep you from those demons
the ones haunting you, constantly calling out your name

And please, don't thinks it's incomprehensible
plenty of people know, what it takes to shake them
hiding their heads underneath their pillows
waiting for the daybreak, hoping for tomorrow

Now I was there when you gave in
your heart and soul begging for another chance to live
you took my hand and promised to re-begin
but i knew we would have this day
always there waiting to haunt us

I'm holding on, hoping this thing won't come between us
I could see the happiness in your eyes slowly fading
those dreams, the ones that we shared, turning grey now
we both knew, that love, well it's a roller coaster

So please, don't hold me responsible
I tried my best to keep you from those demons
the ones haunting you, constantly calling out your name

And please, don't thinks it's incomprehensible
plenty of people know, what it takes to shake them
hiding their heads underneath their pillows
waiting for the daybreak, hoping for tomorrow

It Wants To Borrow

There's that sound again,
it's begging me, it wants to borrow
just what do I have, what does it want me to give it
don't dare fall asleep, not until the day breaks,
until it's tomorrow

You came across mean
saying those words you said, what do they mean
when will i know, when will they hit me, will they dig deep
wound and inflict me, the knife still buried in me, so it will seep
down to the ground, where I will lay, waiting for dreams

But it can be cold there
my life running red rivers, all over the floor
right where you left me, still shivering in scores
you words like arrows, refill Cupid's own quiver

You love and you hate together
your moss grows on all sides, no way to recover
I can't find my own way, I'll look for my rivers
oh my bright red is fading, my bright red is fading

I'll hope for some Savior, to lead me on home
heading south for the winter, my heart break is forming
my heart break is forming, this love is looking bleak
no hope for tomorrow, my last heart beat is weak

There's that sound again,
it's begging me, it wants to borrow
just what do I have, what does it want me to give it
don't dare fall asleep, not until the day breaks,
until it's tomorrow

But I Love You So

There's just too much
to the little things that you say
just quiet enough for me not to hear

When I ask you what it was that's bothering you
you just say that it was nothing Dear
then you run away and hide, you disappear

And I have to try and find you
to make you try and understand, your fears
holding your hands in place, so you can't hear

So I try and sooth your insecurities
with my embrace, you pull away from me
like I'm the one to blame for what you think
what you think you saw, it's all in your mind
the tricks you always play on you

So tell me dear, how can I help you
you won't even let me in, to your heart
much less than what it takes to make it right
you toss and turn and scream all night

You jump on me in my sleep, fists full of hate
how am I supposed to reprieve myself
when I know it's not me, in any doubt
it's just you, your inner self, that can't mend

Somehow someone hurt you bad
they must of tore and ripped your heart out
now I'm left picking up all the pieces
I must be crazy, but I love you so

So here i am, waiting on your beckoned call
to see just what this is and where I stand
is there any room left in your heart
for this to work out, or is it lost in a dream

There's just too much
to the little things that you say
just quiet enough for me not to hear

When I ask you what it was that's bothering you
you just say that it was nothing Dear
then you run away and hide, you disappear
ya you disappear

How am I supposed to find you in the dark
I can see you but you're not there
no you're not, no you're not
you're holding your hands in place
so you can't hear

Somehow someone hurt you bad
they must of tore and ripped your heart out
now I'm left picking up all the pieces
I must be crazy, but I love you so

What I Can Steal From You

Sometimes I think your ears are full of water
you only seem to hear what you want to
and your eyes, I never get to lock onto
you don't want me to see what's in them

I got to believe, what I don't want to
I gotta feel, what my heart
is only allowed to steal from you

You're so hard to read anymore
keeping to yourself in the moon light
what did I do, to deserve this
I thought we had love, to bind us

This must a dream, I cant wake from
we're living in sin, but you beat that
who's this other man, you sleep with
is that him calling you, on our phone

I got to believe, what I don't want to
I gotta feel, what my heart
is only allowed to steal from you

Why do you listen to him rather than me
I'm left all alone, can't help but to think 
about all the worst possibilities here
whats it going to be all about
when I'm without you by my side

I can't run and hide from you anymore
just so i don't have to listen to the score
about how many times you've tried to explain
about what's happening here between us

I got to believe, what I don't want to
I gotta feel, what my heart
is only allowed to steal from you

This must a dream, I cant wake from
we're living in sin, but you beat that
who's this other man, you sleep with

Oh I got to believe, what I don't want to
Oh I gotta feel, what my heart
is only allowed to steal from you

Gargle...Gargle..Mmmmm...Smack..Pop

Too little and much too late
I took my time and I hesitate
no more chances, it's all defined
so I think I'll drink some more of that wine

A little bubbly to ease my whine
to desensitize my hearts despair
there's nothing that's gonna
bring you back, back to here, to where I am

Solely lost in your shades of grey
the memories of us fall just like clouds
I can feel them slowly slipping away
one more drink so there's no doubt

The sun's so bright, it burns my eyes
something inside, hoped it was all a lie
but there's nothing like the cold hard truth
no one can help me, not even DR. Ruth

I gently rum the sleep from my eyes
tickled it with some re-ground limes
mixed all together with my sweet love
and that's when I heard a voice from above

Too little and much too late
I took my time and I hesitate
no more chances, it's all defined
so I think I'll drink some more of that wine

A little bubbly to ease my whine
to desensitize my hearts despair
there's nothing that's gonna
bring you back, back to here, to where I am

Gargle...Gargle..Mmmmm...Smack..Pop
Gargle...Gargle..Mmmmm...Smack..Pop
I'll drink some more of that wine

Gargle...Gargle..Mmmmm...Smack..Pop
Gargle...Gargle..Mmmmm...Smack..Pop
I'll drink some more of that wine

I can feel them slowly slipping away
one more drink so there's no doubt

Gargle...Gargle..Mmmmm...Smack..Pop
Gargle...Gargle..Mmmmm...Smack..Pop
I'll drink some more of that wine

You're Going To Get Burned

Ashes and flame
that's what you get for wanting fame
but you never did anything quiet or tame

Lost in the darkness
looking over your shoulder
can't have anyone be your witness
no one can see how you play your game

Losing control is you're worst fear
you don't know what you're really looking for
but you know it has to be right here
it only takes a little time before it appears

You call out like the Phoenix rising
for the whole world to hear
the flames from your wings
captivating all that you survey
they never had a chance or give a whim

Born with a silver string
you don't care about anything
handed to you on a silver platter
making love isn't any concept that really matters

The finest wines and some caviar
that doesn't even tease you
cause you've already gone way too far

Listen to me, listen to my heart girl
I've seen it before, burnt out on the dance floor
high speed, flying as fast you can
you're going to crash and burn
when it all, when it all comes to an end

The finest wines and some caviar
that doesn't even tease you
cause you've already gone way too far

I've seen it before, burnt out on the dance floor
high speed, flying as fast you can
you're going to crash and burn
when it all, when it all comes to an end

Ashes and flame
that's what you get for wanting fame
but you never did anything quiet or tame

Lost in the darkness
looking over your shoulder
can't have anyone be your witness
no one can see how you play your game

Losing control is you're worst fear
you don't know what you're really looking for
but you know it has to be right here
it only takes a little time before it appears

Ashes and flame
that's what you get for wanting fame
Ashes and flame
that's what you get for wanting fame

but you never did anything quiet or tame
Ashes and flame, Ashes and flame
but you never did anything quiet or tame

Like a Phoenix rising, like a Phoenix rising

You call out like the Phoenix rising
for the whole world to hear
the flames from your wings
captivating all that you survey

The finest wines and some caviar
that doesn't even tease you
cause you've already gone way too far

Listen to me, listen to my heart girl
I've seen it before, burnt out on the dance floor
high speed, flying as fast you can
you're going to crash and burn
when it all, when it all comes to an end

When it all comes to an end
when it all comes to an end
when it all comes to an end

Like a Phoenix rising, like a Phoenix rising
you're going to crash and burn, crash and burn

Ashes and flame
flame...flame
flame..flame...flame
you're going to get burned

Ashes and flame
flame...flame
flame..flame...flame
you're going to get burned

Ashes and flame
flame...flame
flame..flame...flame
flame
you're going to get burned

Flame...flame
flame..flame...flame
flame

Doing Me Wrong

They say...I'm not supposed to worry
about where you are or what you're doing
when I'm gone or when I know
you're out there on the town
doing me wrong

I don't care...I cant stop this sinking feeling
so hard for me to stay afloat..keep my cool
it wouldn't be so bad as long as I really knew
but my heart doesn't...doesn't want to let go

Well you know as well as I do
there's been too much time between us
no where to run or hide it's forlorn
doesn't matter what you wish on
some things were never meant to be moved

The sun always leaves us for the moon
but we all know it will be there to start our day
that's how I've come to see us darling
that's what I've learned, why I know you'll stay

You may love them for a fleet moment
but I'm here. I'm here now honey
waiting to take you back in
waiting for you to believe again
waiting for you to see
that there ain't no one else darling
no one else like me

So come on home, come on home
you know you want to
I'll be the blame, I'll be the blame, if I have to
we can work it out, if you'll just try to
we'll get right down to it, I'll show you

They say...I'm not supposed to worry
about where you are or what you're doing
when I'm gone or when I know
you're out there on the town
doing me wrong

Doing me wrong, doing me wrong
doing me wrong
doing me wrong, doing me wrong
doing me wrong

Upside Down Screwtony

Tuesday's gone and I'm all alone, Friday's finally here
the week is way too long, can't wait for it to disappear
the days are always filled, but the nights are heartache cold
can't sleep you know, your fragrance in my pillow still lingers on


Here's my song
it goes on and on and on
my desperation keeps drives me along
it keeps me strong
hoping for a better day
hoping for a better day
I can't go wrong, staying on the path
this loneliness will be gone
time you know just has to pass

Doesn't make no sense or rhyme
why you left or why you cry
no matter what I do I can't ever seem to please
maybe I'm not the one that needs to look inside
when I laugh want to play
you always try and bring me down
you can't seem to let it go, can't stand to smile
what am I supposed to do
when it's not me, it's you

So here's my song
it goes on and on and on
my desperation keeps drives me along
it keeps me strong
hoping for a better day
hoping for a better day
I can't go wrong, staying on the path
this loneliness will be gone
time you know just has to pass

So many years since I've felt love
I don't know if I know, what it looks like or how it goes
too tired to see even if it fell on me
all the nightmares collecting, they won't let go
of the past with you and me
I can't run or hide, with you still on my mind
no new love can seem to get a foothold
the damage done from your upside down screwtony
I'm a lost soul floating aimlessly
so someone please, please save me

So here's my song
it goes on and on and on
my desperation keeps drives me along
it keeps me strong
hoping for a better day
hoping for a better day
I can't go wrong, staying on the path
this loneliness will be gone
time you know just has to pass

Looking and Searching for Love

I lived my life running around, looking for love
hoping some day it would find me, save me from myself
oh and when I thought I found it or it found me
I would jump right in, always hoping for the best
but it would always, always seem to slowly ravel away

Ya.. all I ever, ever wanted and dreamed of
was someone's shoulder to lay my head upon
just seems like all I ever get is someone who
always brings me down and steals my heart away
I just hope and pray someday, I'll find the one

Day by day each and every one filled with heartache
hoping and praying for that special someone
to cross my path and return to me everything that I lost
pain and despair are my only friends, no one to hold my hand
guide me now, show me how, show me there is still some hope
worth my trying to steal some chance, that tomorrow will be a brighter day

You live your life hoping that tomorrow
tomorrow will be a brighter day, wash your fears away
the cold of night is a lonely mistress, a lonely mistress
she don't care if your warm, she'll steal your life
if you don't take care, take care of yourself, cuz you're the only one
the only one, that can hold on, just for one more day

They come and go, the winds of change are hollering, they're calling to you
wanting you to feel their pain, they want to lie down next to you
cold as hell, warm to the touch, but freezing you, freezing you to your core
you need love, you need it now, you need someone that wants to care
you need someone that wants to care, care about you and how you are

So again, you jump right in, hoping for the best to mature
will this be the last, the last time you'll have to pass the test
the test of love, will you make it through another day
another day, another night, will she help unfreeze your frozen heart
all you want, all you're doing, is looking and searching for love

When the night comes

You know its you girl
that puts a smile on my face
when I think of you
it's your love that makes me strong
when my day has gone all wrong

And you know it's you girl
who lifts me when I'm down
who turns my frown upside down
you're the one that brings all the joy
that sums up what I feel inside

And you gotta know it's you girl
that's shown me how to
be half the man I am today
showing me every day you see
loving me unconditionally

What would I be without you by my side
where would I run, where would I hide
what would I do without you when I cry
who's shoulder would I have to lean on

When the night comes
sending away the sun
when the night comes
just you and me
when the night comes
it's in you that I believe

When the night comes
when the night comes
when the night comes

All I have left in this world
is the love that you share with me
don't want to lose you
please stay with me

When the night comes
when the night comes
when the night comes
