Diamond In The Rough

Oh she's a diamond in the rough

Don't know where to start to make the cut

There's so many possibilities

So many things she can be

So young and full of fun

No cares in her little world

Her innocence is what life's all about

Makes you cry when it all comes undone

Love...love...what is love

What's it all mean when they want to leave

Give your heart

Give your soul

They'll take everything don't you know

There was a plan

There was a dream

There was a future that was untold

No broken hearts a house by a stream

A whole lot of hope and something to believe

Like two birds of the same feather

That flocks together

Like the sun and the rain

We complement one another

And it doesn't have to be paradise

As long as we have each other you see

This love a father has for his daughter

Is forever always there unconditionally

There's nothing that can tear it apart

Because it comes from the heart

Even when they're always gone

Even when the days and nights are long

She's so young and full of fun

No cares in her little world

Her innocence is what life's all about

Makes you cry when it all comes undone

Oh she's a diamond in the rough

Oh she's a diamond in the rough

Oh she's a diamond in the rough

Don't know where to start to make the cut

There's so many possibilities

So many things she can be

she's country wild

they all thought she would be the one
to break free from this one horse town
but the only thing she wants to do
is break free from all their rules
there's no way to change her
she considers them all a tool
she wont listen them anyway
laughing as she sits on the front porch swing
waiting for her ride to turn around the corner
they will never know where she goes
she has her escape planned with the perfect lies
daddy's little girl or an angel in disguise
there's no way to tell what the future holds
no one's gonna tame that grassy lass
not with all that wind that blows her hair
she's out of control, she's country wild
bathing nude in the summer sunshine
let all them boys look she don't care
you know she loves to tease them
when they think she's not looking
she's not shy when she's dancing
she likes redneck bars and bon fires
she always stays out late past her curfew
sneaks in through the bathroom window
her family is always worried about her
they all thought she would be the one
to break free from this one horse town
there's no way to tell what the future holds
daddy's little girl or an angel in disguise
she's country wild... she's out of control
no one's gonna tame that grassy lass
with all that wind that blows in her hair

It's So Hard To Look Away

The moon lighted water

Shows me your true reflection

The other side I’ve never known

Who is this person that hurts me so?

Why is it so hard to let me in?

All I wanna do is love you

All I wanna do is give you all of my heart

But all you do is run away

Why am I always the fool for you?

My heart just can't take this anymore

It's all in my reflection

It's so hard to look away

I keep hoping for a future

I thought we would surely be the ones

To stand the tests of time

How was I to really know?

You promised me the heavens

You promised me all your love

Now I’m left here all alone

What was the distraction?

That turned you away from me

I paid you all of my attentions

I gave you all of me

The ripples fade your reflection

They softly carry you away

This heartache just won't leave

Can't shake these broken dreams

My heart just can't take this anymore

It's all there in my reflection

You know it's so hard to look away

I thought we would surely be the ones

To stand the tests of time

Why am I always the fool for you?

When all you do...

When all you do is run away

You promised me the heavens

I paid you all of my attentions

Who is this person that hurts me so?

Why is it so hard for him to let me in?

All I wanna do is love you

All I wanna do is love you

All I wanna do is love you

And give you all my heart

It's all there in my reflection

It's all there in my reflection

It's so hard to look away

It's Just Not Like You

I love to laugh with you

But lately you've been so down

Something's come over you
You won't even look me in the eye

Deep in my heart I can tell it to

You know I know something's wrong

It's just not like you
(Oh it's just not like you)

(Girl you know it's true)


Yes we've had our ups and downs

We've been tested tried and true

The forces of nature couldn't tear us apart

Even the evil that people sometimes do

We stood tall proud of our two hearts

Together this love that we share

Knowing it could stand the test of time

So put your hand in mine

Hold me close if you dare

Let us talk with the words eternity

Our love unlimited it's unbound

And when we look into each other’s eyes

We both know there's no one else

I hope I don't leave you any doubts

Lover I love to laugh with you

But lately you've been so down

I feel something's come over you

Cuz you can't look me in the eye

You know deep in my heart I know

I know something's really wrong

It's just, it's not like you

To not return my love

It's So Cold In Here

There's a band of gold around your finger

But that doesn't mean you share the bond

Always looking for a place to run and hide

But you know there's no easy way out

Now time has never been your friend

The darkness constantly crushing in on you

The tears you've shed over all these years

Keeps you cornered alone within your fear

If someone would only save you from all of this

You reach out in the night looking for love

The emptiness wanting to consume every part of you

You scream out at the top of your lungs again

Please someone come and save me from myself

(It's so cold in here)

I promise this time...this time I will be good

(It's so cold in here)

Please someone come and save me from myself

(It's so cold in here)

I promise this time...this time I will be good

Looking the other way

The shame is written on your face

The bright light shows all your pain and disgrace

When will you ever learn?

You can't go on living this life of lies

Don't you wanna find someone to love someday?

Caught in the web of your own deceit

Your back is up against the wall

Drowning in the only heartache you've ever known

You’re in deep, you don't know which way to go

So you turn to me and this is what you scream

Please someone come and save me from myself

(It's so cold in here)

I promise this time...this time I’ll be good

(It's so cold in here)

Please someone come and save me from myself

(It's so cold in here)

I promise this time...this time I’ll be good

I can't go on living this life of lies

I wanna find someone to love someday

I promise...I promise...I promise this time

(It's so cold in here)

I promise this time...this time...this time

(It's so cold in here)

I promise this time... I'll be good

Hold me in your heart

 There's a calm before the storm,

You always know just when to bring it on.

The heat is hot even in the coldest rain,

Why am I the one,

That always has to explain.

Hold me, hold me

Hold me in your heart

Hold me, hold me

Nothing will ever keep us apart

You don't need to put up the highest walls,

No one can climb the fear you hold inside.

Especially when you want to run and hide,

Don't you want to find your love?

Don't you know you are so beautiful?

Hold me, hold me

Hold me in your heart

Hold me, hold me

Nothing will ever keep us apart

Feel it fill your heart and see it grow.

Together we will guide ourselves

There's no one to tell us no

So hold out your hand

And we'll see where this goes

Hold me, hold me

Hold me in your heart

Hold me, hold me

Nothing will ever keep us apart

You don't have to hide anymore

Step from the darkness into the light

Lay will me and share the night

You don't have to be alone anymore

Don't you know,

I think you are so beautiful.

Hold me, hold me

Hold me in your heart

Hold me, hold me

Nothing will ever keep us apart

You don't need to put up those walls

Hold me, hold me

Hold me in your heart

Why am I the one,

That always has to explain.

Hold me, hold me

Nothing will ever keep us apart

Hold me, hold me

Hold me in your heart

I think you are so beautiful.

Hold me, hold me

Hold me in your heart

You don't have to be alone anymore

Step from the darkness into the light

Hold me, hold me

Nothing will ever keep us apart

Hold me, hold me

Hold me in your heart

Hold me, hold me

Hold me in your heart

I Spill

I jumped the gun,

Fell right over it,

The trigger pulled,

Now I spill all over you.

What will you do?

Now that I’m all over you.

I’m all over you,

Ya I’m all over you.

What will you do?

Now that I’m all over you.

You turn away,

You don't want to stay,

Now all you do is run away.

I don't need you,

I can do it on my own.

You are weak and I am strong.

Ya I’ll go on,

This life won't hold me back.

You will see,

I'm the one and you were wrong.

Ya I’m all over you,

What will you do?

Now that I’m all over you.

I'm all over you,

Ya I’m all over you.

What will you do now,

Now that you know

That I’m all over you.

There's a life for me

And you don't hold the key

Ya I’m the one

That opened up the door

And what did I find,

What do I see?

The warmth of the sun

It's all over me.

Ya all over me,

All over me

I can feel it all over me

You're too blind to see

What this new freedom does

What it does for me

Ya all over me,

All over me

I was blind but now I can see

Your love always kept me down

In the dark,

How was I to know?

What wonders are out there,

Just waiting for me

To turn the key

Ya I’m all over you,

What will you do?

Now that I’m all over you.

I'm all over you,

Ya I’m all over you.

What will you do now,

That you know

I'm all over you.

I don't need you any more,

I can do it all on my own.

You were weak

And I am strong.

Ya I’ll go on,

This life won't hold me back.

You will see,

I'm the one and you are wrong.

Ya I jumped the gun,

I fell right over it,

The trigger pulled,

I spilled all over you.

Now the page has turned

Now I’m the one

Who's all over you!!!
