We go on like we've always done
we go on like there's still tomorrows
Not just me but its everyone
we live our lives like there's time to borrow
Chorus:
All the while
Living lives of endless waiting
All the while
satisfied with hestiating
All the while
building walls and isolating
with fear dictating
All the While
We expect that our lives will be
good and full free of doubt and sorrow
but that's not how things turn out to be
we close our minds from the things that aren't so
Chorus

V1:
I believed all you said was true
I never questioned
Or doubted you
You never gave me a reason
Or cause
To think there's someone new
You never told me what you were going through
Chorus:
Can you please
Tell me
What you've decided
You're touching me
As if to say goodbye
Even though
You try
Your best to hide it
You're holding me
As if this were goodbye
V2:
Can't you see this is not a game
Don't wanna know about her
Or even know her name
What made you think that you
Could trade
My love for someone new
Do you even know what you're gonna do
Chorus x2

V1: The truth is seen as a burden
A begging hand is hard to take
But one thing that’s for certain
That vow was mine to break
In all the time I’ve known you
I still don’t know what you mean
When you say that you love me
As if your love was free
It isn’t free
Chorus:
And as you wander though the darkness of life
Why would you think to pray for me?
Don’t you know that I'm afraid of the light?
Why would you think to pray for me?
V2:
How many times do I have to tell you?
I’m not trying to be mean
Just stick to the simple program
Please don’t cry and make a scene
Cause I don’t need the drama
Or someone to hold my hand
I don’t want what I haven’t got
Why can’t you understand?
Understand?
Chorus:
And as you wander though the darkness of life
Why would you think to pray for me
Don’t you know that I've been shunned by the light?
Why would you think to pray for me
V3/Ending:
The truth is seen as a burden
A begging hand is hard to take
But one thing that's for cetain
that vow was mine to break
In all the time you've known me
I hope you finally see
That if you really loved me
You would let me be
let me be
Chorus
And as you wander though the darkness of life
Why would you think to pray for me
Don’t you know that I've been damneded by the light?
Why would you think to pray for me
Don't pray for me

V1: Hurtful words were seldom spoken
Still you heard them oh so well
Collecting lies, promises broken
The damage done we couldn't tell
Chorus:
Carolina came back this morning
She arrived just before dawn
Carolina came home this morning
To the place where she belongs
V2:
Please don't think they didn't love you
You never thought that they were right
Why did we always have to argue
Why did our talks turn into fights
You loved to play the angry daughter
With cutting lines you knew so well
And so he played the distant father
The damage done I couldn't tell
Chorus:
Bridge:
Today a winter breeze is blowing
The town is all dressed up in white
Dear Carolina can you hear me
It didn't matter who was right
V3:
We've made the proper arrangements
Mom picked out your favorite gown
And all your friends have been invited
We didn't want to let you down
And I'll just sit back here and wonder
About the years you'll never know
And I'll just sit back here and remember
The little girl I used to know the little girl I used to know
Chorus:

V1: Its been awhile
Since you've walked with me
Since you've talked with me
Why do I sense somethings wrong
Chorus:
All of our lives
You have understood how I feel
Why do I sense something's wrong
Something's wrong
Something's wrong
V2:
It's been a while
Since you left me here
I want you to know it's okay . its okay
There was a time
When I felt that my life was cursed
I want you to know that I'm okay
pre chorus::
And all of the pieces that made up my life
Might never be found
And all of the choices I made
Now seem wrong
And all the excuses I made for myself
Somhow seemed sound
When all that I wanted to do was belong
Chorus2:
Look in my eyes
Can't you understand how I feel
Still you changed
Then I changed
Then we changed
There was a time
When I felt that life was unreal
When you changed
When I changed
When we changed
We changed
V3:
Sometimes life flows through your fingers like rain
Is it all just wasted time
Wasted time
While you were gone
Did you miss having me by your side
Or was it all just wasted time
Wasted time
Bridge2:
And some of the pieces that made up your life
May never be found
And some of the choices you made now seem wrong
And all the excuses you made for yourself
Somehow seemed sound
When all that you wanted to do was belong
Chorus2:
Ending:
Its been a while since you walked with me
Since you've talked with me
Why do I sense something's wrong

V1: do you believe in destiny
do you believe in fate
or do you think that life is random
have you abandoned faith
you say that all the answers come
from within
but how do you know what the answers are
when the questions
change like the wind verse
V2:
why so mysterious
its so easy to fall
we look for the reasons to say
that it's nobody's fault
and where to look for the truth
I wouldn't know where to begin
cause how would you know what is truth
when the questions
change like the wind
V3:
Its sad but I can recall
doubt setting in
it made a home in my heart
I thought it would win
and the guilt of the wrongs that I'd done
to lovers and friends
but how do you fix what is wrong
when our lives
change like the wind
Bridge:
Sometimes I wish I could forget
so many things
Life is haunted by regret
and the things that you've seen
V4:
Life becomes photographs
and “do you remember whens”
a name on the tip of your tongue
was once dearest of friends
and all the love that you felt
and thought would never end
but how do you hold on to love
when our hearts
change like the wind
|
After fighting we'll start talking
like so many times before
Negelected dreams and years of wanting
we'll both agree that we need more
You say you'd grow but I won't let you
I'd let you go if i really cared
You say more words will just upset you
but all I know is that I'm scared
Chorus:
so get going
if that's what you have to do
You keep acting
like you always knew
I hear you talking about what you think I should do
I hear what you're saying
Do you?
You said you once loved me
Is that the best you can do?
I know what you're saying
Do you?
V2:
Unlike you I have no calling
Nothing to lose not much at all
No driving need or fear of failing
It's just my life and that is all
You need a life of constant changing
you think you'd die if you stood still
sudden moves and rearranging
I don't understand and I never will
Chorus

V1:
My love draw near me
So you can hear me
We've got this evening
But life can be fleeting
All these years have flown on by
Now my memories make me cry
Still its true
that you were meant for me
and I for you
V2:
I heard your answer
One more disaster
But if he (she) loves you
I should support you
All these years have flown on by
Now your memory makes me cry
It's still true
That you were meant for me
and I for you
Yes it's true
that you were meant for me
and I for you
Bridge:
Maybe I was wrong
Not to fight for the only someone who loved me
Maybe I was wrong about many things
Maybe I was wrong
Not to fight for the love that I knew would save me
Maybe I was wrong about many things
V3:
Now that I'm older
Life has grown colder
But we've got this evening
Though dreams can be fleeting
Twenty years have passed us by
Now my dreams can make me cry
It's still true
that you were meant for me
and I for you
Yes it's true
That you were meant for me
and I for you
End:
My love draw near me
So you can heal me
|
V1: I find it hard to believe
That you would want me
You see my greatest fear
Is looking like a fool
I’m the kinda girl
That isn’t used to no
I usually take what I want
But you’re nothing to be owned
Pre-Chorus:
When you look at me
Tell me what do you see
Am I a spoiled child?
Am I selfish, cruel and wild?
I have always believed
In nobody but me
but since you've shown me love
please don't let it end
Chorus:
I don't want to be lonely
(please don't let it end)
I don't want to be alone
(please don't let it end)
I don't want to be lonely
(please don't let it end)
I don't want to be alone
V2:
So now you know who I am
And how I really feel
I wouldn’t be surprised
If you decided just to go
When I look back and think
of all the things that I’ve done
I can’t understand
What you see in me
Chorus
