Say Anything

Verse 1
I am looking at you
You're the only still thing in my surrounding
I want to talk to you
Somehow your lips just will not move
What do I have to do
To make you utter a word tonight

Verse 2
You don't know how I feel
When you ignore me
When you pay no attention to me
My heart breaks into a thousand pieces
I feel worthless, I feel unwanted
What do I have to do
To make you speak to me tonight

Chorus 1
Say anything, anything at all
I want to hear your voice
Break the silence between us
It's making me nervous
These awkward moments keep me wondering about you
I need you to open up to me

Chorus 2
Say anything, anything at all
I want to hear your voice
Break the silence between us
It's making me nervous
I want to scream at you
I want us to engage in a fight
Then I will know where I stand with you
Give me something to work with tonight

Just One Night

Verse 1
When I first saw you, I couldn't take my eyes off of you
You were so beautiful
You completely stood out from the crowd
When you smiled, your face lit up bright like the sun
I had to approach you before you went on your own way
I couldn't let you walk away without getting to know you
So when we talked, I hung onto every word you said
I was transfixed on you

Verse 2
I cannot let you go when I want you
We formed a connection that was real
I'd do almost anything just to get to you
I'd go anywhere just to be closer to you
The little time I spent with you seemed to last for hours
It was as if you and I were frozen in time
It also felt like I had known you all throughout my life
When you danced with me, I remembered every move we made
We blended so perfectly

Bridge
I thought I heard you
Calling out my name
I know I am not going insane
Ever since you left, there's been nothing but rain
And my entire body has been in pain

Chorus 1
Let me be with you
For just one night
Let me kiss you mouth to mouth
Let me hold you hand in hand
Let me love you for just one night

Chorus 2
Let me be with you
For just one night
Let me kiss you mouth to mouth
Let me hold you hand in hand
Let me laugh with you for just one night

Chorus 3
Let me be with you
For just one night
Let me kiss you mouth to mouth
Let me hold you hand in hand
Let me cherish you for just one night

Things We Do

Verse 1
I listen to your phone conversations
I read your emails
I follow you around
And I'll continue to do so

Verse 2
You sometimes talk behind my back
You disregard my feelings
You don't respect me the way you should
When I'm with you, you're condescending

Bridge
I'm suspicious of your behaviour
Sometimes you think that you're my saviour
I choose my battles carefully
Your obsession with details drives me crazy

Chorus 1
Those are some of the things that I do to you
I guess I'm the jealous type
Sometimes I trust you
But when I don't, I pry into your life

Chorus 2
Those are some of the things that you do to me
I guess you feel I'm inferior to you
Sometimes you treat me like an equal
But when you don't, you put me down

Chorus 3
Those are some of the things that you and I do
We know we're not the perfect type
At least we agree on something
Rather than disagreeing on everything
We'll continue to work out our differences
So we can stop doing what we do now
Hopefully we'll realize that what we do is hurting the both of us
Or is it too late?

It's All True

Verse 1
I tried with all my might to love you
So I searched deep within my heart
And deep within my soul
To the places where I thought I could find the answers
And when I did, I could spend the rest of my life with you
But I got lost
I must have taken a wrong turn
Now I don't know where I'm supposed to go from here

Verse 2
I tried to be honest with my feelings whenever you were around me
I just could not keep pretending
Just could not keep hoping that I felt the way you did about me
You have to know why I won't be around much longer
If I keep putting it off, I won't be any stronger

Chorus 1
I don't know how to love you
I don't want you
I no longer need you in my life
Please run as fast as you can
Go as far away
If you don't, I will have to say
That's it's all true

Chorus 2
I wish that life treats you well
I'm not happy if you can tell
But I want you to be, even without me
I don't want to play any games with you
I won't treat you like a fool
You now know how I feel
By baring my soul, you know it's all true

If It Was You

Verse 1
Weren't you the one who lied to me
When I asked for the truth?
Weren't you the one who cheated on me
When I expected faithfulness?

Verse 2
Weren't you the one who slapped me across the face
Whenever you became angry?
Weren't you the one who put me down
When I had something to say?
You always thought you were smarter than me

Bridge
You claimed that you were perfect
But I saw your flaws
When I confronted you on whatever you did
You simply brushed them aside
You came home late, you drank too much
If you did all those things
Why are you still in my life?

Chorus
If it was you who broke my heart
Then why can't I let you go?
I should have thrown you out
I should have cursed at you
But I did neither
I guess I still love you

Boulevard

Verse 1
Everybody's not on the boulevard
You have to be rich or powerful
You have to be famous or influential
You have to be smart or beautiful

Verse 2
The residents are upscale
Some receive plenty of fan mail
When they get arrested, they pay a large bail
You can download their bios on a website somewhere

Bridge
Money exchanges through a lot of hands
Favours are made, promises are broken
Some are born with a silver spoon in their mouths
Some think they are entitled to better lives
Scandals and trials are nothing new
It just adds more fuel to the rumour mill

Chorus 1
On the boulevard
The lights are always shining
There are people everywhere
So you're never alone

Chorus 2
On the boulevard
The pavement seems to be smoother
Even though the street is crowded
People always find ways to get noticed

Chorus 3
On the boulevard
Life is always interesting
You never know what will happen
No wonder millions are intrigued

Say You Will

Verse 1
Promise me that there's no other but me
Say that I'm the one you have always wanted
Feel my desires, experience my pain
Have the sense to believe we were meant to be

Verse 2
Wipe away my tears whenever I cry
Hold me whenever I'm feeling lonely
Inspire me to become a better person
Believe that I can do whatever I put my mind to

Bridge
I need to feel love when it's given to me
I want to be the one you cherish endlessly
No matter what happens we should always stay together
Be patient with me
Love me for who I am

Chorus 1
Say you will love me unconditionally
Say you will never leave my side
Make me feel whole, make me feel complete
Say you'll be mine for life

Chorus 1
Say you will love me unconditionally
Say you will never leave my side
Make me feel whole, make me feel complete
Say you'll be mine for life
I promise you that I will do the same

Tear Down These Walls

Verse 1
Tear down these walls that surround your heart
I want to get to know the real you
When I look into your eyes there's a spark
But I don't know what it is exactly
Whatever it is, I want to know
Please don't be afraid of me
Maybe someday we'll be friends

Verse 2
Tear down these walls that surround your mind
There's no such thing as too much intelligence
There is no shame in being smart
You have a good head on your shoulders
But sometimes your mind is closed
Try to expand your way of thinking
Please don't be afraid of me
Maybe someday we'll be friends

Bridge
When I start to know you, I will trust you
Put your guard down
If you want to be honest
You have been missing chances to form bonds
You need to be true to yourself

Chorus 1
Tear down these walls
Let love enter your heart
You won't be able to connect with anyone on deeper levels
I know it's easier said than done
But you're going to have to try or you will be alone
For the rest of your life
So you need to make a choice now

Chorus 2
Tear down these walls
Let love enter your heart
You won't be able to connect with anyone on deeper levels

The Dreamer

Verse 1
He's not ignorant or stupid
He believes in whatever he believes
He's intuitive and smart
He knows that he is making sense

Verse 2
The paralyzed will walk
The mute will engage in conversation
The depressed will be content
The blind will be able to see themselves

Bridge
He's quiet, but interesting
There's a side of him that's mysterious
His voice is conforting
And his presence is strong
But I really don't know who he is
The deaf will hear music
The angry will become satisfied
The lost will all be found
The scared will have nothing to fear
We are all in God's hands

Chorus 1
Love will surround us
Hope will fill our hearts
Faith will be our cure
Happiness will be in our grasp
Joy will be nearby
Peace will be achieved

Chorus 2
Determination will fill our hearts
Empathy is what we'll have
Understanding will fill our minds
The beauty of everyone will be shown for all to see
We will all become one big family

While You Can

Verse 1
You talk about travelling around the world
so why don't you?
You talk about visiting your grandmother in the nursing home
So why don't you?
You should do whatever it is you want to do now
Before it's too late

Verse 2
You talk about living down under
You love it there
So why don't you
You talk about getting a dog
Ever since you were 10
So why don't you
You should do whatever it is you want to do now
Time is ticking away

Bridge
You should do whatever it is you want to do now
Go and seize the day

Chorus 1
Do it now while you can
If you don't, you'll be regretful
You never know what tomorrow may bring
You don't know what your life has in store
If you don't do it
Nobody is going to do it for you

Chorus 2
Do it now while you can
If you don't, you'll be regretful
You never know what tomorrow may bring
You don't know what your life has in store
If you don't do it
Nobody is going to do it for you
You're not getting any younger
Do what you can right now
