Where it is you wont say, but it hurts
Put your lips next to mine and apart
Why wont you open your heart?
I feel it coming it grows up my spine
I'm dying to show you what love is about
The tears that are falling
There's no room for doubt
For all the changes we've been through

It's an art just to give, will I learn?
To visualize what you want from my life
It's more than enough just to gaze in your eyes
I'm dying to show you what love is about
To tease you and please you
We must work it out
I know all your secrets so sad

. . .



How many dreams am I looking for in your eyes, in your eyes
Ooh baby bet it seems that you're reaching down, all alone, on your own
Dreams are emotion baby, you know you gotta try

How am I supposed to know what's in your head, what's on your mind
I'm searching for your love that's in your heart I need it
Here I go impossible again
Should I hold you close to keep the night from ending

I know I put you on a pedestal in my eyes, in my eyes
I don't like it when you put me down 'cause it hurts, yeah it hurts
Win some and lose some baby, you know you gotta try

I feel it my heart and in my soul and through my veins
Falling from my lips three little words 'I love you'
Here I go impossible again
Should I hold you close to keep the night from ending

Dive into the ocean baby you know you gotta try

How am I supposed to know what's in your head, what's on your mind
I'm searching for your love that's in your heart I need it
Here I go impossible again
Should I hold you close to keep the night from ending
Here I go impossible again

. . .



Let's take one more rocket to the moon
Before we wake I'll kiss your eyes and lie between
While you sleep is all around
Just look up in the air and find it
Just wish upon a star and find it

It's dawning I'm gently falling
The rhythm of water and windows are white
Darling soft as your pillow I'm slowly drowning
Go spiralling down as you catch your breath

A keychain in your pocket just for luck
I hold it in and close my eyes to hide a tear
And what we need is all around us
Just say a little prayer and find it
Just look up in the air and find it

Walking into your life love without knowing
I'm out of my mind
Calling straight to your heart
I'm slowly drowning and morning is here as I catch my breath

And what we need is all around us
Just look up in the air and find it
Just say a little prayer and find it

Walking into your life love without knowing
I'm out of my mind
Calling straight to your heart

. . .



Twenty-seven times I paint the city in lights
Now I changed my mind
I was living fast now I'm running on empty
And I feel yeh I feel
You're gonna go, let me go

Breathe, and I breathe
It's bitter without you I can't live without you
And I'm in love with you

Stood the test of time
Though I treated you rough you were always kind
I let my head rule my heart now I'm feeling so lonely
And I feel it's the deal
You're letting me go gonna go

Breathe and I breathe
Hollow without you I can't live without you
And I'm in love with you

Breathe I believe
Empty without you I can't live without you
And I'm in love with you

Breathe, and I breathe
It's bitter without you I can't live without you
And I'm in love with you

Breathe I believe
Empty without you I can't live without you
And I'm in love with you

Breathe I believe
I can't live without you I can't live with you

. . .



When you throw your arms around me
You know that I'll be there
'Till you were lost in the way you found me
You know that I'll be there

We all need someone just to keep hanging on
It's enough to hold you here in my arms

The light that we share gonna light up the sky
I sit and I stare as if I don't care
It's just the child in me won't go away
I beg you to stay this is my prayer

When I was young I was selfish darling I wanted my own way
You were the shock to the system darling
A chance for sudden sway
We all make mistakes I'm all over the place
But you know that I'll be there in the end

The light that we share gonna light up the sky
I sit and I stare and I don't know why
It's just the child in me won't go away
I beg you to stay this is my prayer

The light that we share gonna light up the sky
I sit and I stare and I don't know why
It's just the child in me won't go away
I beg you to stay this is my prayer

The light that we share gonna light up the sky
I sit and I stare and I don't know why

. . .



Sometimes when I get upset
You chill me out and put it to rest
When I feel in dangerous times
You make a call and give me a sign

You wrap me up in love a colour so sublime
Goes to where I hurt the most and takes it all away
You really know me more than I even know myself

When life is bitter and sore
Just one look changes it all
Could never be a jealous young man
'Cause you hold the key to my hand

You wrap me up in love a colour so sublime
Goes to where I hurt the most and takes it all away
You really know me more than I even know myself

Because our love is real I won't dominate you, fool around
And faith and trust is all there is and true creation
Guards it with her soul

Sometimes when I don't feel well
Emotional fall under your spell
You heal me I'm better inside
Sure seems good to be alive

You wrap me up in love a colour so sublime
Goes to where I hurt the most and takes it all away
You really know me more than I even know myself

Goes to where I hurt the most and takes it all away

. . .



(Don't say you love me)
(Strange things that make me die)
(Don't say you love me)
(Strange things that make me die)

I don't belong I'm still around won't steal you like a radio
I'm still around I won't be long gonna treat you like an angel

But don't say you love me
Strange things that make me die
Dance 'till we're high you're shy
Don't say you'll cry

I told you lies I'm still around won't steal your act my angel
I won't be long it's still your round or serialize the radio

But don't say you love me
Strange things that make me die
Dance 'till we're high you're shy
Don't say (don't say) you'll cry

(What do you say?)
(What do you say?)

Don't go on I see your eyes I screw you around my angel
You're still my love it's in your eyes our song is on the radio

But don't say you love me (what do you say?)
Strange things that make me die
Dance 'till we're high you're shy
Don't say you'll cry

Don't say you love me
Don't say you'll cry I'm high

. . .



As a means of release
Pick up my little pieces of heaven
'Tis a social disease when I cry
As you head for the door
I want it all, you can take it all leave it

With the light coming in
My desire to give in runs away with me
If I'm not good enough and my love is too much
Then forget it
Now I am strong carry me home
You can take it or leave it

God help me but forgive my true intention
It hurts me but I've nowhere left to run
All this time still falling out of love

As we cut to the thrust
This could well be the year of decision
Do you know what I mean
Like a song spinning round in my head?
Now I am strong carry me home
You can take it or leave it

God help me but forgive my true intention
It hurts me but I've nowhere left to run
All this time still falling out of love

I want it all, give me it all
I want it all, give me it all

God help me but forgive my true intention
It hurts me but I've nowhere left to run
God help me but forgive my true intention
It hurts me but I've nowhere left to run
All this time still falling out of love

. . .



How could I have been so cruel
After all you've done for me
I should go back to school
To learn
The ways
Of love

I see the tables turn
Please don't desert me now
I acted like a fool
I know
I just stumble
Through the night

I pushed you way too far
Though you're my guiding star

I broke it all in two (broke it all in two)
Like a row of paper chains (a row of paper chains)
My heart's not made of stone (heart's not made of stone)
Though it seems to be that way

Baby, what can I say?
You mean the world to me
Don't throw it all away
I promise
I'll change
One day

I pushed you way too far
Though you're my guiding star

I broke it all in two (broke it all in two)
Like a row of paper chains (a row of paper chains)
My heart's not made of stone (heart's not made of stone)
Though it seems to be that way (my heart's not made of stone)

I pushed you way too far
Though you're my guiding star

I broke it all in two (broke it all in two)
Like a row of paper chains (a row of paper chains)
My heart's not made of stone (heart's not made of stone)
Though it seems to be that way (my heart's not made of stone)

I broke it all in two (broke it all in two)
Like a row of paper chains (a row of paper chains)
My heart's not made of wood (heart's not made of wood)
Though it seems to be that way

(heart of woo-oooh-ood)

. . .



All the miles of glory really nothing to me
It's our love here, we are invisble again
Imagine how it goes, I believe in sweet surrender
And searching for so long, it will stay with me forever

No, I won't ever ask for your surrender
No religion and choruses again
But it won't leave me desolate and angry
Are there no poets in politics again

See the window upon the free world closing slowly
And poor men crawl upon your boney knees again
Imagine how it goes, I believe in sweet surrender
And searching for so long, it will stay with me forever

No, I won't ever ask for your surrender
Holy roller and passion play again
On this day that I don't care to remember
No religion and choruses again

Imagine how it goes, I believe in sweet surrender

I feel lost as a dying rose in embers
No religion and choruses again
No, I won't ever ask for your surrender
Are there no poets in politics again

No, I won't ever ask for your surrender
Holy roller and passion play again
On this day that I don't care to remember

. . .



Don't justify
For what you are
And where you've been
For who you are tonight
So lonesome tonight

Make believe
Just hanging on
You're crazy
That's who are you tonight
All over tonight

Tell the world
You're still afraid
Been on this road too long

Falling soft
But raining hard
So wrap up well
It's freezing cold tonight
So cold tonight

Tell me all
I need to know
I'll spare your fears
So sad to see tonight
The tears you cry tonight

I stayed away
A long time now
But I'll be home tonight

I bet you're mad at me
Can't you read my lips
I see your eyes of blue
What you want from me
It's not the way it should be
You've got the world to give
I gave you all my love
But you're mad at me

(tonight)
(all over tonight)

Tell the world
You're still afraid
Been on this road too long

I bet you're mad at me
Can't you read my lips
I see your eyes of blue
What you want from me
It's not the way it should be
You've got the world to give
I gave you all my love
But you're mad at me

I bet you're mad at me
Can't you read my lips
I see your eyes of blue
What you want from me
It's not the way it should be
You've got the world to give
I gave you all my love
But you're mad at me

I bet you're mad at me
Can't you read my lips
I see your eyes of blue
What you want from me
It's not the way it should be
You've got the world to give
I gave you all my love
But you're mad at me

I bet you're mad at me
Can't you read my lips
I see your eyes of blue
What you want from me
It's not the way it should be
You've got the world to give
I gave you all my love
