Westlife Album

Shadows fill an empty heart
As love is fading,
From all the things that we are
But are not saying
Can we see beyond the scars
And make it to the dawn?

Change the colors of the sky
And open up to
The ways you made me feel alive,
The ways I loved you
For all the things that never died,
To make it through the night,
Love will find you

What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it's too late,
What about now?

The sun is breaking in your eyes
To start a new day
This broken heart can still survive
With a touch of your grace
Shadows fade into the light
I am by your side,
Where love will find you

What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love had never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it's too late,
What about now?

Now that we're here,
Now that we've come this far,
Just hold on
There is nothing to fear,
For I am right beside you.
For all my life,
I am yours.

What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love had never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?

What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love had never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it's too late,
Baby, before it's too late,
Baby, before it's too late,
What about now?

Since you’re not worth my love
I haven’t given up
I’m stronger than that
(I’m stronger than that)
And though my heart will break
I’m takin’ back my faith
Cos right now my world is spinnin’ too fast
But you won’t be the end of me
If you were the one you wouldn’t hurt me so bad
You gave me the world

Chorus:
Gave me the world to take it all away
All you left me was yesterday
And this space in my heart
Now it's slowly tearin’ me apart
I'm takin’ all that I learned from you
I'll make it something I’ll never do
I can't be who you are
You taught me how to break a heart x 2

I’ll make it through this pain
My dreams won’t call your name
I’m stronger than that
(I’m stronger than that)
Cos I still know how to love
Know that will be enough
And this moment will fade into the past
You won’t be the end of me
If you were the one you wouldn’t hurt me so bad
You gave me the world

Chorus
But I know you’re leaving
I know that smile
I can tell you've been crying
You’re gonna say goodbye
I wish I could stop you
But you've made up your mind
I beg you don't go
But I already know you’re leaving

I'm takin’ all that I learned from you
I'll make it something I’ll never do
I can't be who you are
You taught me how to break a heart x 2
I’m taking back my faith
I’m taking back my life
I don’t care for who you are
Cos you taught me how to break a heart
How to break a heart
How to break a heart
Cos you taught me how to break a heart

Watching the clock on the wall
Been a while since you called
I can't help but wait
It's late and I can't get no sleep
Something’s different this time
It just doesn't feel right
Have we broken in two?
Am I really gonna lose you tonight?
You come walking in
Tears in your eyes
Pretending like it's alright

Chorus:
But I know you’re leaving
I know that smile
I can tell you've been crying
You’re gonna say goodbye
I wish I could stop you
But you've made up your mind
I beg you don't go
But I already know you’re leaving

Where does the time go?
Between goodbye and hello
How did we come to this is there something we missed
Along the way
With your bags at the door
I wanna pull you in close
And hold you once more even though

Chorus
But I know you’re leaving
I know that smile
I can tell you've been crying
You’re gonna say goodbye
I wish I could stop you
But you've made up your mind
I beg you don't go
But I already know you’re leaving

Here come the sleepless nights
Here come the tears I’m gonna cry
Here comes the last goodbye leaving us behind
Oh this can't be right

Chorus
But I know you’re leaving
I know that smile
I can tell you've been crying
You’re gonna say goodbye
I wish I could stop you
But you've made up your mind
I beg you don't go
But I already know you’re leaving

Mornings after
Still lingers
Just waking up
I see a shadow of you
Making breakfast for two
I go driving
Past our place and
I see this girl walk by
I smell her perfume
For a moment I wish it was you
I’m not gonna tell ya
I’m not gonna say that I’m okay, no
I’m tryin’ to get over
I’m tryin’ to get far away from our mistakes

Chorus:
But I see shadows
Everywhere that I go
It’s you, reminding me
Of how we were
Of how it was
I see shadows
Everywhere they follow
It’s you and memories
Of how we loved
I’ve had enough of your shadows

Four months gone
I can’t feel you
I don’t understand it
Where did you go?
I hate that you’re all that
I know I’m not gonna tell ya
I’m not gonna say that I’m okay, no
I’m tryin to get over
I’m tryin’ to get far away from our mistakes

Chorus
But I see shadows
Everywhere that I go
It’s you, reminding me
Of how we were
Of how it was
I see shadows
Everywhere they follow
It’s you and memories
Of how we loved
I’ve had enough of your shadows

You couldn’t love me
So why won’t you leave me
Shadows
Alone is the only place I want to be

I see shadows
Everywhere that I go
It’s you, reminding me
Of how to love
I’ve had enough
I see shadows
Everywhere they follow
It’s you, the memories
Of how we loved
I’ve had enough
Your shadows
It’s you, the memories
Of how we loved
I’ve had enough of your shadows
Your shadows

I'm too tired to go to bed
I'm too wired for anything except
The crossfire in my head
It's been a long night
'Cos I took all I can take
’Til the walls shook and the windows break
I want to phone you but it's far too late
It's been a long night

Chorus:
So talk me down
Talk me down
Talk me down
Talk me down

'Cos we fought an endless war
’Til we forgot what we were fighting for
Now we can't stop
But we can withdraw
In the long night

Chorus
So talk me down
Talk me down
Talk me down
Talk me down

The light flashed and I thought I'd died
My life passed before my eyes
It went too fast for the love I feel
Inside

Chorus
So talk me down
Talk me down
Talk me down
Talk me down
Down, down, down
Lay your head near mine
Tell me that it's all fine
Love me while there's still time
It's been a long night

Stay, stay where you are
Don’t let me go, don’t let me go
We made it this far
Oh baby stop, stop right there
Don’t walk away, don’t walk away
Into thin air
We survived a crash
Made it through the wreckage
Standing here at last
So perfectly written

Chorus:
Now where we are
Is where we’re suppose to be
Where we are
Keeps the breath in me
Where we’ve been
We’ve risen from the deep
Where we’re now no one can tear us apart
That’s where we are

Don’t, don’t turn around
We gotta let, we got to let
Go of the past now
Oh, feel me by your side
We’re out of danger
No reason to hide
We survived the storm
Made it through the hurricane
Standing here at last
Dry despite the rain

Chorus
Now where we are
Is where we’re suppose to be
Where we are
Keeps the breath in me
Where we’ve been
We’ve risen from the deep
Where we’re now no one can tear us apart
That’s where we are

That’s where we are
Stay, stay where you are

Chorus
Where we are
Is where we’re suppose to be
Where we are
Keeps the breath in me
Where we’ve been
We’ve risen from the deep
Where we’re now no one can tear us apart
That’s where we are

That’s where we are

I wake my faith shaken inside
Images of you race to mind
Did I forget I meant to tell you something?
Only half 'til you have to fall
Only whole when you’re seeing it all
Oh you saved for something me

Chorus:
Between lost and found
You showed me the difference
Between safe and sound
You showed me the distance
Oh I was sliding, safe
But I was hiding out
Oh I fell I’m not down
You showed me the difference

Everything was slipping right through my hands
Hard to find any place to land
Clouds don’t cover me where I stand anymore
Only half 'til you think you lost
Only whole when you’re reaching across
You saved something for me

Chorus
Between lost and found
You showed me the difference
Between safe and sound
You showed me the distance
Oh I was sliding, safe
But I was hiding out
Oh I fell I’m not down
You showed me the difference

You resurrected me
Eyes wide open to dream
In scattered pieces when you found me

Chorus
Between lost and found
You showed me the difference
Between safe and sound
You showed me the distance
Oh I was sliding, safe
But I was hiding out
Oh I fell I’m not down
You showed me the difference
You showed me the difference
You showed me the difference

Mark:
Once in a lifetime
You look in someone's eyes
And it feels like the world stops turning at once
That's what it felt like for me
I knew knew right away this day would be
Standing together, believing forever
Is there in our reach

Chorus (Mark)
'Cos love is my witness
I swear
I'll be with you till the end
Nothing in tear this love apart
I'll put my hand upon my heart
This is the promise I'll make to you
Whatever comes we'll see it through
Nothing can break it
This feeling's too strong
'Cos love is my witness

Shane:
We've both known sorrow
We've known heartache
When our dreams for tomorrow
Seem so far away
But that brought us closer - yeah
It brought us together
So that we'd know the real thing
That's why I can yeah - ye-eh-yeah

Chorus: (Shane)
'Cos love is my witness
I swear
I'll be with you till the end
Nothing in tear this love apart
I'll put my hand upon my heart
This is the promise I'll make to you
Whatever comes we'll see it through
Nothing can break it
This feeling's too strong
'Cos love is my witness

I know whatever comes to be
Together we'll face the mystery
Here in my heart, deep in my soul
Somehow I know, I know

'Cos love is my witness
I swear
I'll be with you till the end
Nothing in tear this love apart
I'll put my hand upon my heart
This is the promise I'll make to you
(This is the promise I'll make to you)
Whatever comes we'll see it through
Nothing can break it
This feeling's too strong
'Cos love is my witness

Nothing can break it
This feeling's too strong
'Cos love is my witness

In another life
Maybe we see everything
In a different light
Like an endless summer
And in the years from now
We'll all be living
The same old certain dream
That we imagined would be

Chorus:
Somewhere high
Somewhere high above the clouds
We could live there safe and sound
Far away from where we are
Yeah we'll find our star
But maybe that's another world

In another life
We would fall in love you see
And the sun would shine
For you and me yeah
Chasing the storm from the sky
Altogether love would come and save us
And we would let it take us

Chorus
Somewhere high
Somewhere high above the clouds
We could live there safe and sound
Far away from where we are
Yeah we'll find our star
But maybe that's another world

Far away from where we are
Yeah we'll find our star
But maybe that's another world

When the waves are crashing down
Pulling you to sorrow
I will sail you back to shore
When there are no more heroes

Over under, near or far
I’ll be right beside you
Standing here with open arms
When there are no more heroes

Chorus:
And through it all
And through it all
When you’re tired and you stumble
I will carry you
When starlight falls, my love will guide you home
You’ll never be alone
When there are no more heroes

It was you who showed me how
Brought me back to glory
Through hopelessness and darkest days
It was breath you gave me

And through it all
And through it all
When you’re tired and you stumble
I will carry you
When starlight falls, my love will guide you home
You’ll never be alone
When there are no more heroes

And through it all
And through it all
When you’re tired and you stumble
I will carry you
When starlight falls, my love will guide you home
You’ll never be alone
You’ll never be alone

And through it all
And through it all
When you’re tired and you stumble
I will carry you
When starlight falls, my love will guide you home
You’ll never be alone
When there are no more heroes
When there are no more heroes

In so many waysI tried to reach you
And I don’t know why I couldn’t get through
When I tried so hard to break your guard
Didn’t know it would leave this scar
Leave this scar
Now I’ve made it this far
And the pain isn’t over
But the sun keeps on risin’
And I keep getting stronger

Chorus:
I never thought that I’d survive you
But I will be free
And there’ll be so many nights I gotta get through
But now I see
You’ll never be the end of me (no)
Cos when my world fell apart
And I didn’t know where to start
I heard the sound of a broken heart
(I still feel the pain)
I heard the sound of a broken heart
(It still beats the same)

When will the world start spinnin’
And what happened to my happy ending
Learning what it takes, to turn this page
Didn’t know how to walk away
Walk away
Now I’ve made it this far
And the pain isn’t over
But the sun keeps on risin’
And I keep getting stronger

Chorus
I never thought that I’d survive you
But I will be free
And there’ll be so many nights I gotta get through
But now I see
You’ll never be the end of me (no)
Cos when my world fell apart
And I didn’t know where to start
I heard the sound of a broken heart
(I still feel the pain)
I heard the sound of a broken heart
(It still beats the same)

And I won’t stay down; I know my heart’s still beating
Cos I hear the sound, tellin’ me I’m alright
Tellin’ me to move on
Chorus
I never thought that I’d survive you
But I will be free
And there’ll be so many nights I gotta get through
But now I see
You’ll never be the end of me (no)
Cos when my world fell apart
And I didn’t know where to start
I heard the sound of a broken heart
(I still feel the pain)
I heard the sound of a broken heart
(It still beats the same)
Still feel the pain for you
Still beats the same x 2

When everything is war
You’re living in a battle zone
When everything is torn
And the world is cold as stone
Don’t lock all the doors
Close your heart
Shut me out of your life
And throw all the keys

Chorus:
Will you reach out?
Will you reach out for me?
When life holds you down
Like you’re drowning at sea
I’m the hand that you need
‘Til you land at your own destiny
Reach out for me

When everything is wrong
Distant cries still reach my ears
When ever you’re alone
Doesn’t mean that love’s not here
Unlock all the doors
And decide in your mind
This is not how you want it to be

Chorus
Will you reach out?
Will you reach out for me?
When life holds you down
Like you’re drowning at sea
I’m the hand that you need
‘Til you land at your own destiny
Reach out for me

Reach out
Will you reach out for me?
So don’t hide
I’m right here
By your side
Shelter you
From your fears
From your fears
Oh your fears
Oh your fears
I won’t be
Far away
I will pull you in
Out of the rain

Chorus
Will you reach out?
Will you reach out for me?
When life holds you down
Like you’re drowning at sea
I’m the hand that you need
‘Til you land at your own destiny
Reach out for me

Reach out
Will you reach out for me?
Reach out for me
I’m the hand that you need
‘Til you land at your own destiny
Reach out
Reach out for me

Always you will be part of me
And I will forever feel your strength
When I need it most
You’re gone now, gone but not forgotten
I can’t say this to your face
But I know you hear

Chorus:
I’ll see you again
You never really left
I feel you walk beside me
I know I’ll see you again

When I’m lost, when I’m missing you like crazy
I tell myself I’m so blessed
To have had you in my life, my life

Chorus
I’ll see you again
You never really left
I feel you walk beside me
I know I’ll see you again

When I had the time to tell you
Never thought I’d live to see the day
When the words I should have said
Would come to haunt me
In my darkest hour I tell myself
I’ll see you again

Chorus
I’ll see you again
You never really left
I feel you walk beside me
I know I’ll see you again

I’ll see you again
You never really left
I feel you walk beside me
I know I’ll see you again

I will see you again
I’ll see you again
I miss you like crazy
You’re gone but not forgotten
I’ll never forget you
Someday I’ll see you again
I feel you walk beside me
Never leave you, yeah
Gone but not forgotten
I feel you by my side
No this is not goodbye
No this is not goodbye
No this is not goodbye
