If I Could Only Fly

Verse 1
Life seems to be passing me by
at every waking moment
Sometimes I feel like I do not exist at all
I waste too much time thinking about yesterday
My mind is cluttered with so many things
I lose track of what I have to do
My heart is racing
I just need a moment to breathe

Verse 2
I'm not even close to being relatively happy
I can't recall when I last smiled
How sad is that?
I'm not even close to being relatively peaceful
I can't recall the last time
I didn't feel angry
I want to let go of these bitter feelings

Bridge
It would be gratifying
If all my worries would cease
It would be wonderful
If I could enjoy life
It would be fulfilling
If I could learn to love myself
It would be great to become the new me

Chorus
If I could only fly
I would fly far, far away
Leave everything behind
That has caused so much pain
I would start a brand new life
Change my name and identity
I would be proud of myself
If I could only fly
Then my dreams would come true

How Could It Be?

Verse 1
We met on a Friday
At the opening of a new club
I saw you, you saw me
We liked what we saw
We started to small talk
Then we began to dance
At closing time I gave you my number
I have been waiting for your call
For a month now

Verse 2
With you, I felt free
Like a bird soaring in the sky
I felt safe enough to fall into your arms
You were mysterious
Like a dream to uncover to unfold
You told me I was so beautiful
I have been waiting for your call
For three months now

Bridge
I felt so close to you
Like we became one
I felt like I truly knew you
I was blind to see the reality around me
I feel head over feet for you
Now my heart is broken

Chorus 1
How could it be?
I thought you were real
I thought we were meant to be
Why did you lie to me?
Why did I believe you?
I should have seen right through
Shame on you, you fooled me once
Shame on me, you fooled me twice

Chorus 2
How could it be?
I thought you were real
I thought we were meant to be
Shame on me

You Can Make It

Verse 1
You can make it if you always work hard
You can make it if you are polite
You can make it without going insane
You can make it if you have common sense
Life is full of surprises
What goes around sometimes comes around

Verse 2
You can make it if you are fair
You can make it if you want to be the mayor
You can make it if you're confident
You can make it if you can't pay the rent
Life is full of surprises
Sometimes you reap what you sow

Bridge
If you follow your heart
You can make it - yes, you can
If you listen to your conscience
You can make it - yes, you can
Life is fill of suprises
Sometimes people wear disguises

Chorus 1
You can make it if you're determined
If you believe in something
Fight for it
If you fall down, pick yourself up
Always trust your intuition

Chorus 2
You can make it if you're determined
If you believe in something
Fight for it
If you fall down, pick yourself up
It's always important to have dignity

Chorus 3
You can make it if you're determined
If you believe in something
Fight for it
If you fall down, pick yourself up
Keep on trying until you succeed

Chorus 4
You can make it if you're determined
If you believe in something
Fight for it

Your Love Amazes Me

Verse 1
You are the love of my life
You are the light in my eyes
Two unified as one
Swearing to never separate
Even when you are so far away
You are always in my heart
Precious memories I will remember
Locked deep in my mind

Verse 2
I am the love of your life
I am the warmth in your heart
Two becoming one
Promising to remain intact
Even when I am so far away
I am always in your heart
Memorable feelings I will cherish
Locked deep in my mind

Verse 3
You are the love of my life
You are the rhythm of my body
Two combined as one
Vowing to never change
Even when you are so far away
You are always in my heart
Rare moments I will appreciate
Locked deep in my mind

Chorus
Your love amazes me
Your love inspires me
Your love protects me
Your love saves me
Your love heals me
Your love amazes me

Hearts

Verse 1
Full of love, full of hate
Full of the ability to change one's fate
Full of joy, full of sorrow
Making us get through tomorrow
Full of gratitude, full of attitude
Sometimes filling us up like food

Verse 2
Full of stillness, full of understanding
The knowledge to be better
Full of selfishness, full of apathy
The desire to be cruel
Full of colour, full of expression
The power to be real

Bridge
Sometimes hearts are burdens inside of us
Making things harder for us
Making us feel low
But where would we be
If we didn't have hearts to begin with
We would be nowhere
We would have nothing to live for

Chorus
If hearts were invincible
Then I would do whatever I pleased
If hearts were invincible
Then we'd all be powerful
If hearts were unbreakable
Then I would have less worries in life
I would be a stronger man
If hearts never existed
I wouldn't be able to feel at all

Plenty

Verse 1
I've never been homeless
I've always had a roof over my head
I attended private school
And by the time I became an adult
I owned my own car

Verse 2
I organize social functions
Because it's expected of me
Many people would not survive
If they lived in my society

Verse 3
I earn a 100K per year
I have a housekeeper
My security system is an A+
My investments are performing well

Chorus 1
I have plenty
But I still want more
There is nothing wrong with me
This is what I live for

Chorus 2
I have plenty
Many things that I do not need
There is nothing wrong with me
If you knew me, you would agree

Don't Want To Be Alone

Verse 1
I don't want to be alone
Because I get scared
I don't know what could happen
If you're not near
I turn all the lights on
I lock the door and windows
I constantly look over my shoulder
To see of someone's there
When I lay in bed
I have trouble falling asleep

Verse 2
Every thought I think of is about you
And things we used to do
Sometimes they make me smile
But usually I start to cry
I feel so misunderstood
If I could reach you I would
Whenever it rains
I feel the intensity of my pain

Bridge
Yesterday I cried
Today I will do the same
Bit by bit life is becoming mundane
What I fear the most is making me insane
I can't get rid of it
It's like a stain
I don't have anything to gain
By looking for someone to blame
That is so lame

Chorus 1
I don't want to be alone
When you're gone, I'm sad without you
Come back to me, come back to me
Right in your arms is where I should always be
They say nothing lasts forever
But I haven't seen you in a long time
Come back to me, come back to me
Right beside you is where I should always be

Chorus 2
I don't want to be alone
I get sad when I'm on my own
Come back to me, come back to me
Right in your arms is where I should always be
They say nothing lasts forever
When I think about it, that's untrue
Come back to me, come back to me
Right beside you is where I should always be

Pieces of You

Verse 1
You loved me more than you loved yourself
You gave me everything you had
I was cared for
I felt safe, felt close to you
You promised me many things
Then you broke away from me

Verse 2
I had to prove my love and devotion for you
I lied, I stole, I cheated
I would have done much more
You were the only one who looked inside me
And knew that I was lonely
I lived for you
I would have died for you

Bridge
Your hatred, your denial
Your frustration, your anger
Your arrogance, your attitude
It has all been rejected by me

Chorus
Pieces of you surround me
I'm trying to break through
But you're stronger than my will
I won't give up

The One Thing

Verse 1
When I saw you
I was afraid to meet you
I quickly overcame my fear
And approached you
But then I was afraid to know you
I quickly overcame my fear
And liked you

Verse 2
After hitting things off
I didn't want the night to end
I couldn't go my separate way
And leave you behind
So we walked around
Holding each others hand
I gazed into your eyes
I saw the love within you

Verse 3
When it came time to saying goodbye
I was afraid to, I began to cry
I saw my future, it lied in you
All the happiness and joy
Was what I was about to lose

Chorus 1
The one thing I want is you and only you
The one thing I need is you and only you
The one thing I gotta have is you and only you
The one thing I'm dying for is you and only you

Chorus 2
The one thing I want is you and only you
The one thing I need is you and only you
The one thing I gotta have is you

In Pieces

Verse 1
I gave you my heart to hold
Not to have
You treated me as if I was your possession
To you I was your puppet
You pulled my strings
You made me do things
I thought I could never do
I feel so ashamed

Verse 2
I gave myself to you with one condition
That you promised to love me, to care for me
You vowed to do just that
Then suddenly you went back on your word
I should have known
That you were as reliable as a snake

Bridge
I believed everything you told me
I was so gullible
I let you into my life
I was so irresponsible
I loved you, I truly did
I was so desperate
To feel like I mattered to somebody else

Chorus 1
I'm in pieces
A thousand different ones scattered before me
I'm trying to put myself back together
But it's not an easy task

Chorus 2
I'm in pieces
A thousand different ones scattered before you
I'm trying to put myself back together
But it's not an easy task

Chorus 3
I'm in pieces
A thousand different ones scattered inside me
I'm trying to put myself back together
But it's not an easy task
