Verse 1:
Some lives can't find a way, these eyes just give away, what lies behind the pain.
He's running for the door, he's shouting down the hall, he's coming back for more.
Chorus
But I can't ride the wave, without you crashing over me.
Cause you just wash me away, and now I'm out to far to see.
So leave a light on for me.
Verse 2:
Some things just never change, some lives wont re-arrange, I'm sure these times are strange.
Your love holds on to me, I'm just to blind to see, we both just disagree.
Chorus
But I can't ride the wave, without you crashing over me.
Cause you just wash me away, and now I'm out to far to see.
So leave a light on for me.
Chorus Double:
But I can't ride the wave, without you crashing over me.
Cause you just wash me away, and now I'm out to far to see.
I can't lie to you, I'll say the things you want me to.
Cause I'm still lost in your eyes, from the day I saw through your disguise.
So leave a light on for me.

Verse 1:
She said "I don't wanna cry but could you look the other way."
"These imaginary lies can make me so emotional."
Chorus
I know there's someone in there underneath it all.
I know it's hard to find but I could take it home.
I came in late to find you, hanging by a thread from the other side, oh no.
Verse 2:
She said "I can see the weight you carry, makes me feel so sad."
"But that's what happens when you live for all the things you had to have."
Chorus
I know there's someone in there underneath it all.
I know it's hard to find but, I could take it home.
I came in late to find you, hanging by a thread from the other side, oh no.

Just Believe
03:19
|

Verse 1:
You can push till you're crawling, you can bleed till you die.
You gotta keep your faith from drowning, when your river runs dry.
You had me, running in circles and thinking too long.
I wouldn't say these things I write if, I didn't feel so strong.
Chorus:
Why can't you just believe in what I'm saying for the moment.
I'll bet all that you hear is true, I often wonder what your fear is for now.
Why can't you just believe, why can't you just believe, in me.
Verse 2:
Well you're dealing with your hunger and you don't like to wait.
You've been running alone so long you, forgot how to give and take now.
Be careful what you wish for, is it what you really want.
Is it worth the sacrifice and all the time we lost.
Chorus:
Why can't you just believe in what I'm saying for the moment.
I'll bet all that you hear is true, I often wonder what your fear is for now.
Why can't you just believe, why can't you just believe, in me.
Bridge:
Can't you see what I see.
If you, only had my faith in you.

Survival

Verse 1:
There was a boy, living alone.
He said it's the one thing I have to make me whole.
She was his girl, he said don't leave me here.
Now he can't shake the memory of the day she disappeared.
Chorus
Now he fights for survival.
Fights for survival.
Verse 2:
In the blink of an eye, my whole life could change.
So I live for the moment, with you outside this cage.
And we never look back, and we never explain.
What keeps us from drowning in this ever lasting rage.
Chorus
So we fight for survival.
Yeah we fight for survival.
Bridge:
I'll stand strong if you walk away.
All the letters you sent, have all blown away.

Love Never Knows
03:35
|
|||
Verse 1:
You're breaking me down, you tear me away.
I'm starting to wonder if you think I'm your razor blade.
I don't wanna know, it's what you don't say.
It could be much better my love, I'd be yours someday.
If I could just hold on, you could be all that I need.
Hold on, the dream will likely, get the best of me.
Verse 2:
But how can I laugh, when you never cry?
The only temptation was all worth another try.
I gave you too much, I scared you away.
You made it so easy to throw everything away.
If I could just hold on, hold on, to where I belong.
Hold on, leave my, devices alone.
Chorus:
But I, could stare forever.
At the soul lost that love never knows.
And I won't be alone when your laughing.
I might be gone forever.
Bridge:
You're breaking me down, you tear me away.
You're taking too long, I'm your razor blade.
I gave you too much, so nothing is real.
So take it all back, that's not how I feel.
Chorus:
Bridge:
You're breaking me down, you tear me away.
You're taking too long, I'm your razor blade.
I gave you too much, so nothing is real.
I'll take it all back, that's not how I feel.
That's not how I, feel.
