quick the knife how deep she stabs it in and it cut even the thickest skin and now she leaves you here to lick your wounds and wash your sin and you are left to stand alone amidst the ruin of all you've known let me be your angel let me be your faith let me fill the hole in the deep of your soul where there's a darkened place in the rubble of the games we've played in the wreckage of the wars we've made how quickly they retreat how quickly they disengage and you are left to stand alone amidst the ruin of all you've known let me be your angel let me be your faith let me fill the hole in the deep of your soul where there's a darkened place let me be your angel let me be your light let me take what's cold and broken and veiled and make it right in the wreckage of the storm I've been tossed thrown overboard I can save you I can try if you let me come inside...let me be your angel...

I'm sorry my dear but it's time the space that I made is too wide and I see you've grown tired of pulling me in when I'm slipping away so I'll try not to cry but I know how this one ends I deny and deny but my heart cannot pretend so I'll try not to wake you as my lies waltz through the door what a beautiful disaster I'm sorry my dear you were right but I gave it one hell of a fight it came in like the rain and I pushed it away but I'm drowning inside so I'll try not to cry, but I know how this one ends I deny and deny but my heart cannot pretend so I'll try not to wake you as my lies waltz through the door what a beautiful disaster so I'll try not to cry but my heart cannot pretend I deny and deny but I know how this one ends so I'll try not to wake you as my lies waltz through the door what a beautiful disaster we were

I did not see it coming I did not see a thing one minute I was running one minute I was letting in the rain letting in the rain I did not hear a warning I did not hear a thing the things I'd been ignoring letting in the rain letting in the rain here I am waiting alone again standing back and letting in all the rain I thought that I could have it have everything letting in the rain letting in the rain here I am waiting alone again standing back and letting in the rain wash over me..... I am not clean I did not see you linger in the shadows as I slept you were out of sight not letting me rest not letting me rest here I am waiting alone again standing back and letting in so much harder now than then tell me how this all will end in this rain

somebody was lying when they looked you in the eye carefully they stroked you while they hung you out to dry take a look around take another chance only when you give it give it time finally you'll laugh you will understand finally you'll shine you will shine all the disbelievers they are betting on your head all the pretty monsters they are sleeping in your bed take a look around take another chance only when you give it give it time finally you'll laugh you will understand finally you'll shine you will shine it's hard to believe them when they're saying that you need them all they while they've been dancing on your grave and it's hard not to notice when they take you to the river and drop you smile and a wave it's hard not to notice when they're telling you they love you cause you're lucky and your heading to the top it's hard not to notice when they trip you up and they leave you and they've taken you for everything you've got somewhere in the making there is everything you need somewhere for the taking if you just believe............shine

and I've fought the good fight now I've thrown in the towel cause I think I'm just tired and I don't want to play right now when I'm broken down you just let me cry then you bring me around you put me back in the fight and that is why though the mountains may be high and the seas may rage and the water is wide you are my saving grace when I'm done with the night when I'm done with the day when it hurts just to try you put me back in the race when my fate has fallen short and abandoned my side when I see no beauty you open my eyes and that is why though the mountains may be high and the seas may rage and though the water is wide you are my saving grace and if hope had a name for the light in the darkest most rain all good things come to those who wait so I'll wait...and that is why

if you hurt me again I will go this isn't a threat I just thought you should know that you're taking away part of me everyday and it shows. If you tell me again one more lie you won't have to sit through the sound of my tears the only sound you will hear is my goodbye I don't need you to breathe I have fallen down but I've landed on my feet and I hear the sound of my own sweet voice and it's a scream breathe if you tell me I'm not good enough you won't hear a thing as I'm packing it up you will just hear the door as it shuts I don't need you to breathe I have fallen down but I've landed on my feet and I hear the sound of my own sweet voice and it says scream breathe, breathe I can breathe I don't need you to breathe I have fallen down but I've landed on my feet and I hear the sound of my own sweet voice and it's a scream

so you thought you needed time and I said I needed space so we tried to break it down and when all is said and done really nobody has won and I miss you being around and I miss you being around tell me is there something I can say tell me cause I'm holdin' I'm holdin' on tell me is there anything to save so I took a little time and you took a little space and the house is feeling cold and If I thought there'd be I did that I did not see your face I would have never let you go would have never let you go tell me is there something I can say tell me cause I'm holdin' I'm holdin' on tell me is there anything to save so I'm pretending there's a happy ending when everything is gray I'm gonna try to get by It's all right ok tell me tell me is there something I can say tell me cause I'm holdin' I'm holdin' on tell me is there anything to save

happy middle of the road happy doing what you're told happy little life you think you're getting by you think you've got the wool pulled over their unsuspecting eyes and how far did you get cause it ain't over yet the lie becomes the test you take happy middle of the road happy doing what you're told happy barely getting by and all the things you'd like to try you stop yourself you don't know why this is your life and you fold happy little lie pressed collar shirt and tie now stroll around your picket fence and curse your alibi and how far did you get cause if ain't over yet the lie becomes the test you take happy middle of the road happy doing what you're told happy barely getting by and all the things you'd like to try you stop yourself you don't know why this is your life and you fold you fold - you fold happy middle of the road happy doing what you're told happy barely getting by and all the things you'd like to try you stop yourself you don't know why this is your life - don't fold

and when the lights go out you don't say a word I'd rather if you'd shout so I knew it hurt and when you hear me cry you won't make the first move I hear your body turn but you leave the room and this is a war this is a fight this is the battle of your life this is the ship going down you can get off or hang around but either way you will make the mistake of your life and when the morning comes you're already gone sometimes my body aches cause it's been so long and this is a war this is a fight this is the battle of your life this is the ship going down you can get off or hang around but either way you will make the mistake of your life and when you come back home you still don't say a word sometimes I think we're broken sometimes I think we don't sometimes we just don't work and this is a war this is a fight this is the battle of your life this is the ship going down you can get off or hang around but either way you will change... the rest of your life

be easy on my heart when you leave be easy on my wounds when they bleed it cuts to know that you must go, so be easy on me be easy on my eyes when they cry be easy on my voice when she lies and swears it's not our last goodbye I can't keep you here forever but I can promise you I'll try so be easy on me be easy on my arms when they crawl be easy on my legs when they fall for I will run again someday half way around the world to bring you back and make you stay...so be easy on me

the road I've traveled is an open road and anywhere I lay my head is home the path before me seems to twist and turn they say the less you live the less chance you'll get burned but I've lived my life much richer then the kings I see the voice of reason never got the best of me the curtain opens to a laughing child with dancing feet and screaming lungs and hair gone wild the lovers enter and they linger still a deeper pool for me to sip and get my fill but if there be singing when they lay my body down the voice of doubt will shut her mouth without a sound and all the things I've done and the parts I've played and all the words I've sung will not be in vain the second act is full of life's little mistakes but they all turn to wisdom anyway the light in he darkness was my own good sense I always know these things just ask my friends just ask them so write me one great scene before you write me out and please forgive me if I steal the final bow let there be singing when they lead me off the stage the final curtain to the ending of the play...

I feel like a boy staring out the window pane watching all the leaves falling in the rain everybody's happy as they blow a kiss goodbye but no one cares to notice the pain I live to hide and I've been waiting for my turn I've been waiting for mine I feel like a girl all dressed up for the dance up against the wall just waiting for her chance and finally with a slow song she walks out on the floor just then the lights come up time's her friend no more and I've been waiting for my turn I've been waiting for mine and oh every inch of my body begins to ache and all the things that haven't broken are about to break and they ask me when I think that I will throw in the towel and I tell them I think I would have done it already but I don't know how I feel like a fool when it slips right through my hands all the things they tell me just to keep me from my dance but I'll sing it loud and pretty and I'll laugh right through their lies cause at least if I die laughing I'll know at least I tried and I've been waiting for my turn I've been waiting for mine

if you hurt me again I will go this isn't a threat I just thought you should know that you're taking away part of me everyday and it shows. If you tell me again one more lie you won't have to sit through the sound of my tears the only sound you will hear is my goodbye I don't need you to breathe I have fallen down but I've landed on my feet and I hear the sound of my own sweet voice and it's a scream breathe if you tell me I'm not good enough you won't hear a thing as I'm packing it up you will just hear the door as it shuts I don't need you to breathe I have fallen down but I've landed on my feet and I hear the sound of my own sweet voice and it says scream breathe, breathe I can breathe I don't need you to breathe I have fallen down but I've landed on my feet and I hear the sound of my own sweet voice and it's a scream

something in your voice tells me you're not alone, but something in me won't let you go.something tells me this is never gonna end...so I wait and I wait I wait how much longer 'til I break how can I get you outta my head how can I get you outta my heart outta my mind there is no easy way, cause I know, someday something in me says this should be over soon, but something in me won't let you go something in my breaks when I look into your eyes and I die, yes I die I die, how much longer must I lie how can I get you outta my head how can I get you outta my heart outta my mind there is no easy way cause I know someday someday you'll be mine, all mine and it tears me apart when I have to see you with her so I lie to myself so you won't know it hurts...but I cry to myself when I'm alone... someday

You were the brightest angel heaven had ever seen you walked in with a story to tell and ten thousand tongues to scream and you said doesn't your heart beat the same as mine haven't I told you a thousand time isn't the air in my lungs the same air you breathe so who cares whose arms I'm all wrapped up in who cares whoes eyes I see myself in who cares who I dream of who cares who I love Heaven help me for I am lost what a price my love did cost but here I am standing strong and I am free and didn't we share the same sunrise and sleep in the same moonlight isn't the blood in my veins the same blood you bleed, so... when I die and they lay my body down the peace that I will find is the peace that brings you all around doesn't my mother cry like everyone my father grieve for his lonely son so isn't my rainbow a little brighter because... so who cares whose arms I'm all wrapped up in who cares whose eyes I see myself in who cares who I dream of no it doesn't matter who I dream of 'cause in the end it only matters that I was loved and am loved...love has no face
