We Love You 02:59
We Love You Now you know, life is hard Trying to make a brand new start The past stays near, it follows you Bound to make you cry and break your heart But you have something that will always keep you standing You’ve got a love that is strong enough for mending No need to be afraid, to let them drive you mad Someday you’ll overcome, someday his resentment will be dead And we love you, if you didn’t know We all love you Dry your tears cause we love you We’re standing at your side Yes we love you You are strong, and they are wrong It’s up to you to prove you’re true Cause you are right, you’ll have to fight We are all behind you we believe in you And we love you, if you didn’t know We all love you Dry your tears cause we love you We’re standing at your side Yes we love you We Love You

Can't Give Enough Can anybody tell me What it is that’s making me fall down again And again, cause I Seemed to feel alright Troubles left behind and ready to begin A brand new life, but now Everything you do Is telling me that I can’t be with you Sometimes I think I must be a fool But you say that I just can’t give enough Could never give Could never give Could never give Could never Can anybody tell me Why it is that I need so much time to mend All those scars from the past I seem to stay attached To all those dirty things in me, it’s probably What you miss in me Please be cool And help me to get out, I’m not a fool You know, I really need someone like you But you say that I just can’t give enough Four weeks of complete insanity Losing touch with all reality I thought that I had finally got out But you don’t really know what it’s all about I can’t give enough of that feeling I can’t give enough of that feeling I can’t give enough cause I never got any of it I can’t give enough cause I never got any of it myself I never got

Do You Know Love Do you know love Are you familiar with the concept Or is any time I spend with you Already wasted beforehand Do you know love Or is everything you do Just to make sure I stay in love with you Because it's so convenient Convenient To have a friend Who'll do just anything to show you That his love for you is endless And that everything he does is to please you To have a friend Who will be there for you at any time To comfort you and entertain To pick you up and ease the pain you feel Do you know love Or was it meant to be that you're just here To teach me about the cruelties And all the things that can go wrong Go wrong with love But I don't care I will just wait and if I'll have to wait forever It will be that way I still dream of that glorious day to come And if it don't I will find peace upon my dying day For I am proud that I can say That I have always truly loved someone I love someone And if you're choosing to abuse that It just won't make any difference Cause it's impossible to stall My love for you

Goodbye 03:23
Goodbye I open my eyes, I am yawning Take a breath while I stretch out my arms I notice that something is different But I don't hear a sound I get up and walk to the kitchen I open the fridge, have some bread Too tired to notice the talking Of the voice in my head Cause I'm going down to a place where I'm strong I'm going down to where I belong I'm going down I guess I'll be going today I look around and I see that you're crying I can't help feeling a tear in my eyes I'd rather stay but I have to be leaving So this is goodbye Oh, yes I have been to this gate and I turned back before But today is the day that I have to give more Hope you see that I'm serious, don't hold me back Hope you see that it's definite, no I won't come back anymore Cause I'm going down to a place where I'm strong I'm going down to where I belong Yes, I have been to this gate and I turned back before But today is the day that I have to give more Hope you see that I'm serious, don't hold me back Hope you see that it's definite, no I won't come back anymore I guess I'll be going today

Speed Of A Highway Spinning and swirling New times unfurling At the speed of a highway at night Chain and reaction Fear and attraction The feelings that fuel the fight You are great – I don’t know You are great – I don’t know You are great – I don’t know From peace to disorder I’m crossing a border So new and familiar to me Surrender to feelings That rise to the ceiling What the fuck are you doing to me You are great – I don’t know You are great – I don’t know You are great – I don’t know Try to erase it, try to evict it from me Try not to think now, it just leads to more lunacy Oh please, can someone explain this to me Why it felt so incredible And now it feels terrible Extremes I didn’t know to exist There’s limits to madness Can’t take much more sadness But still it is hard to resist You are great – I don’t know You are great – I don’t know You are great – I don’t know Try to erase it, try to evict it from me Try not to think now, it just leads to more lunacy Oh please, can someone explain this to me Explain it to me Explain it to me
6.
Leave Me 03:45
Leave Me I have a dream of world without injustice And I have a dream of place where love is all there is Where I can be with you Only to be with you I have a dream of a love without mortality I have a dream of a place where everyone can be Just who he feels he is oh, I can feel the bliss But that is not just everything I feel Is it because of you that I'm not real Must be the people on the other side They are the ones who make me feel denied Why don't they just leave me It´s just for now that I´m ok Although still I´m not allowed to say Just the fact that you're there To me it really means a lot Oh if only I could tell you Your love is everything I've got But you will leave me Because they won't leave me Don't want you to leave me But you´re gonna to leave me Oh please, don't leave me Oh please, don't leave me Oh please, don't leave me Oh please, don't leave me Leave me
7.
Sleep 03:48
Sleep Oh, just can't quit thinking of you I can't sleep, I'm thinking of you And when I sleep I'm dreaming of you Oh no, don't know Please go, why are you still bothering me? Oh, it's your impression on me It's so much bigger than I wanted to see Whatever I'll do, you'll stay forever with me Oh no, not cool Is this everything I'm getting from you? What did we do And where did we go I don't know, but I know I liked it But now I don't know What to think about it As it's all so very tiring Oh, I'm getting tired of me All I want to do now is sleep What did we do And where did we go I don't know, but I know I liked it But now I don't know What to think about it As it's all so very tiring What did we do And where did we go I don't know, but I know I liked it But now I don't know What to think about it As it's all so very tiring Sleep, just get me some sleep I just want to sleep I just want to sleep

Really In Love Look me in the eyes Smile to me that way again I’d love to see your eyes Winking my way again But you don’t know Try to use your heart Try to look right through me Try to see my heart And you will see I want to be With you Come out and play with me I want to be with you I want you to touch me Like you used to do Come out and show your heart I want you to love me I know you are wavering But I am waiting, I am waiting Hey look at me now I can’t wait no longer I can’t get no stronger Come out and play with me I want to be with you I want you to touch me Like you used to do Come out and show your heart I want you to love me I know that you love me I am in love, really in love I am in love I am in love, really in love I am in love, I am in love You’ve got to know I’m really in love with you You’ve got to know
9.
Just A Name 04:21
Just A Name Fiction and reality will never be the same Glimpse of light, a look of eyes and so we play the game Touch the sky and fill my heart, but nevermind, play on Never it will be the same, but it turns on and on Wars are not my favourites, but living in my head Killing many morals, many feelings, I am dead My playground affairs, they've grown into a mystery Of love and hate, of life and death, but it will never be Spirals of emotions, I'm lost in my mind Trying to get out, but where's the gate, so hard to find Spirals of frustration, I'm locked in my heart Chainreactions break through my control it is so hard In my mind, it's your mind Never float downstream, never being on your own Never ever laying down all thoughts, I'm fully grown The shining name that's in the sky always returns to me Never there's a time to wait, a lonely time to see Everything's alright, I'm off this world tonight Everything's ok, I'd found you anyway Everything is fine, I don't commit a crime It's just a name Your name
10.
The Truth 04:15
The Truth There’s a hole in my soul Where you put in a drain With the tap stuck at wide open And although it has passed I still can’t stop the flow I am low There’s a change in the game But I misread the note As I no longer get the rules There’s a pin in my brain That still holds your name It is cruel So give me some air Give me some air Give me some air To breathe There’s a light out of sight But it’s burning me down It has lost all its shine to me I’d better be off to go live in the dark Of the night So give me some air Give me some air Give me some air To breathe It is so hard to see To make my soul agree With my mind to see You don’t need me And I don’t need you And that is the truth You don’t need me And I don’t need you And that is the truth That is the truth That is the truth So give me some air Give me some air Give me some air To breathe
