Don't Say It's Over

Verse 1
Don't say it's over
I'm not ready to say goodbye to you
I've just begun my brand new life
And now I'm about to be alone
If you leave, I'm sure the sun won't shine
And if it does, it'll be far away from me
Sunlight provides warmth and energy
Without it, I can't feel alive

Verse 2
What's life if you feel dead inside?
Nothing if you ask me
Don't say it's over
There's so much we have yet to do
It's not like there isn't enough time
When I'm with you, I really like who I am
If you leave, that could all change
Is it really over between you and I?
If you're not sure then don't leave

Chorus
Don't say it's over until it's really over
Don't say it's over when you're not really sure
Don't say it's over if you're going to regret it
Don't say it's over if it's a lie

The Mirror Has Two Faces

Verse 1
I am the wealthiest person in the world
I am a day closer to being homeless
I am well-fed and my stomach never growls
I am a glutton that puts food to waste
I beg for money, I give to charity
I'm greedy, I'm self-less
I'm a leader, I'm a follower
I'm a saint, I'm a sinner
Things aren't always as they appear to be

Verse 2
Some say I'm a good person, others think I'm bad
Some say I'm curious, others think I'm intrusive
The glass is half-empty, the glass is half-full
Two realities co-existing at the same time
Tomorrow is today, today is yesterday
Go back to the future
Go forward to the past
Things aren't always as they appear to be

Chorus
The mirror has two faces
Each side is different from the other
Sometimes it's a reflection of who you are
Sometimes it's people's perception of you

Edge of Forever

Verse 1
I'm looking at the city from the edge of forever
Where I am is where I want to be
This place is pristine, pure and clean
I'm surrounded by love, I'm filled with peace
If anyone is trying to find me
They won't be able to because this place is hidden

Verse 2
Some people of the world are consumed by greed
Jealousy, bitterness and anger
I just had to get away, away from it all
Where I am is where I want to be

Bridge
I am not alone
I always have someone watching over me
That someone brought me to this place
And I don't ever want to leave
But the choice is not mine
The view of the world can be seen from here
I'm tuned to all my senses
Deep within me I know this place is real
Just realizing it is a big deal

Chorus
There is no concept of time
Everything is beautiful and still
I've never experienced something so wonderful and mysterious
I belong at the edge of forever

Nobody Loves Me

Verse 1
Nobody loves me
I know this because no one says they do
To a child, I'm like a bee
They run away from me, fearing I will sting them
And I think it's true
I don't know how to be around others
They see me as a monster, they see me as the boogie man

Verse 2
I places shields all around me as I grew up
To protect myself from the pain I felt
But soon they came crashing down
I realized I couldn't protect myself from others
There was no point in trying

Chorus 1
Nobody loves me
They either put up with me or push me away
I feel unimportant knowing that I'm not cared for
This is what I think about
Every minute of every day
Sometimes I cry, sometimes I erupt in anger

Chorus 2
Nobody loves me
I feel unimportant knowing that I'm not cared for
Every minute of every day
They either put up with me or push me away
This is what I think about
I don't have friends or a family

Not Yet

Verse 1
Not yet...please wait
I'm not ready to move forward
Not yet...please wait
I want us to stay where we are
Not yet...please wait
I still love you for who you are
Not yet...please wait
I don't have the strength to go too far
We will still be together

Verse 2
There's so much we can do
Let's have long conversations
Let's be held in each others arms for hours on end
You are very special to me
I don't want to lose you
You make me laugh, you inspire me to become a better person
I still don't want to go all the way
I trust you to understand

Chorus 1
Not yet...please wait
Let's take it slow
Even if we've been together for a while
I am not rejecting you
I want to be with you

Chorus 2
If we get caught up in the heat of the moment
I trust you to stop when I say 'no'
I'm not rejecting you
I want to be with you

If You Love Me, Let Me Know

Verse 1
I don't know if you love me
So I'm asking you
Be honest about it because I can't stand lies
I know you really like me
But it's not the same as loving me
There's a fundamental difference
It's a million dollar question
That I'm expecting to be answered soon

Verse 2
I see you looking at other people when we're in public
It bothers me to now that you have a wandering eye
I don't consider myself to be the jealous type
I know you would never sneak behind my back
I just want you to look at me more often
I want to be closer to you

Bridge
Tell me no lies
I want to hear the truth
Whatever it may be, I won't hold it against you
I'm serious when I say that
If you love me, let me know
Make it simple by just saying it
Tell me to my face

Chorus
If you love me, let me know
Don't put on a show
Make it simple by just saying it
I want to hear you say those three words
Not on the phone or via email
Tell me to my face

When She Was Good

Verse 1
This girl who lived in my hometown was as sweet as can be
She was so gentle that she never harmed a flea
Now everyone knows she's a completely different person
If you were a stranger to her, she would treat you like a friend
It did not matter who you were
You'd still get her attention
These days she could care less of what happens to others

Verse 2
If you needed help, she'd be there for you
Other people came first
Now she wouldn't even give you the time of day
She would give you the shirt off her back without hesitation

Verse 3
I never once saw her cry or act out in anger
Now she's confrontational and doesn't care if she pisses people off
She and her lover cause trouble wherever they go
She's the talk of the town but doesn't give a damn

Chorus
When she was good, little kids looked up to her as a role model
But she fell in love with a bad boy
And now she's just like him in every way

Don't Tell Me

Verse 1
She's playing dirty
That's part of her behaviour
If she's told not to do something
She'll go ahead and do it
She defies authority, has suspicions about others
She's always on guard, she's a one woman battleship

Verse 2
You never can tell if she's serious or not
Sometimes the games she plays ties brains in a knot
Being misunderstood is a fact of life for he
She wishes someone knew her for who she really is

Bridge
Live and let live
Mind your own business
If you can't keep to yourself, try harder
No one's life should ever be controlled or threatened
Have the dignity to respect others privacy
She would for you if you were in her position

Chorus 1
Don't tell her father what she does
He doesn't know who his daughter is
If he did, he would be shocked

Chorus 2
Don't tell her peers what she does
They don't know who she is
If they did, they would be surprised
She may feel embarrassed and may want to die

Outro
Live and let live
If you can't keep to yourself, try harder
No one's life should ever be controlled or threatened

Waterloo

Verse 1
I don't know what I'd do without you
Sometimes I don't want to think about it
I could have been six feet under by now
If you get my point
You're a very special person in my life
You're always there for me when I need you the most
You're my only true friend

Verse 2
Being surrounded by you is comforting
Feelings of uneasiness disappear
I know I am safe and cared for
You are my only true friend

Verse 3
You share everything you have with me
You're understanding and supportive
People like you make the world a better place
You are my only true friend

Bridge
If I forget something, you always remember
I count on you, you never let me down
How do I thank you in the greatest way?
You are my only true friend

Chorus
Waterloo, you're always with me
Waterloo, you became my home

Up In The Air

Verse 1
It's 1 am
Somebody's knocking at your door
You rush to see who it could be
To your amazement there's no one there
You look around to see if anyone ran away
Then the doorbell starts to ring
You look into the mirror and notice your reflection isn't there
You place your hand against it
It goes right through
Then you stick your head through it
All you can see is darkness
It's the kind that scares the hell out of you
Moments like these you never forget

Verse 2
You're driving along the highway
It's the middle of the night
You look at the clock in your car
The time is 2 am
Then a few minutes later, you look again
This time it's five o'clock
Where did the time go?
Alien abductions occur all the time
New planets will soon be coming around

Chorus
Everything is up in the air
You just can't fight the moonlight
Letting things be is always a choice
Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction
