Sweet Divine
03:04
|
|||
You pull me in just like the sun,
I never wanted anyone to get hurt
what’s done is done
and I’m afraid it’s only just begun
Can’t forget I sank so low
I hate myself I hope you know
I dream of diving right back in
oh please save me from my sin
‘cause the liquor makes it feel ok
the liquor makes it feel ok
I should go yet I stay
‘cause the liquor makes it feel ok
I tell myself that I’m just fine
but I think about it all the time
a moment of that sweet divine
when everything is on the line
I wonder if I should confess
I try to fill this emptiness
but it would do nobody well
it was my choice now it’s my hell
‘cause the liquor makes it feel ok
the liquor makes it feel ok
I should go yet I stay
‘cause the liquor makes it feel ok

Nothing Left
03:27
|
|||
I don’t wanna have to say it anymore
I’m so tired baby I’m walking out your door
I know that you love me I know that it’s true
I know you’d do most anything to stop me leaving you
You’re one of the best men that I have ever met
I know I’m crazy baby I’m not right in the head
but I treated you so bad I have no excuse
We pushed each other hard
‘til there was nothing left to lose
I’m trying to do the right thing for once in my life
I know right now that’s hard to see
I loved you once but I’ve run out of fight
I got nothing left, nothing left for you me
When everything turned sour I just pulled away
I didn’t have the courage to steer things straight
You know I don’t live my life holding onto debt
But if I did then hurting you would be my only regret
I’m trying to do the right thing for once in my life
I know right now that’s hard to see
I loved you once but I’ve run out of fight
I got nothing left, nothing left for you me
So down another beer boy down another beer
Sit around and suffer through another wasted year
Life never takes you where you had in mind
Sometimes you’re riding shotgun,
sometimes you’re flying blind

Feel It All
04:44
|

So glad the year is over so glad that I was brave
So glad I made the hardest choice I made to walk away
And now the fog has lifted I think that I can see
That I made the only choice I could have made for me
Give me sunshine give me rain,
let the blood pump through my veins
I wanna feel it all
Give me laughter give me tears,
give me strength to face my fears
I’m not afraid to fall, no I’m not afraid to fall
People gonna talk about me behind my back
I’ve never really been the type to give a shit about all that
‘Cause life is short you know I’m just here hav ing fun
And I go about my business I’m not hurting anyone
Give me sunshine give me rain,
let the blood pump through my veins
I wanna feel it all
Give me laughter give me tears,
give me strength to face my fears
I’m not afraid to fall, no I’m not afraid to fall
Each night as I lay my baby safely in her bed
I think about the fact you never know what’s up ahead
So I tell the ones I love that I love them everyday
And ignore the expectations I’m just living life my way
Give me sunshine give me rain,
let the blood pump through my veins
I wanna feel it all
Give me laughter give me tears,
give me strength to face my fears
I’m not afraid to fall, no I’m not afraid to fall

Shaking You
03:49
|
|||
Black cloud hanging around,
turning my life upside down
I guess I know it’s true
You keep calling me up on the phone,
I wish you’d leave me alone
Just like you used to do
There ‘aint no shaking you
There ‘aint no shaking you
Yeah I know it’s true
There ‘aint no shaking you
Just when I think I’m in the clear,
I go out and you follow me here
I don’t know what else I can do
Why can’t you let me be happy now,
I’m afraid you don’t know how
But I’ve moved on with someone new
There ‘aint no shaking you
There ‘aint no shaking you
Yes I know it’s true
There ‘aint no shaking you
I don’t wanna hear from you anymore
The way you used to treat me only left me sore
It ain’t my problem if you ‘aint satisfied
You say you only wanna be my friend
But then you let me down, you let me down again
No one can say that I haven’t tried
There ‘aint no shaking you
There ‘aint no shaking you
Yes I know it’s true
There ‘aint no shaking you

The Next Disaster
04:17
|
|||
You’re sitting around just waiting
for something to go wrong
You carry with you so much hatred,
were you like this all along
or did someone you care for betray you,
did they leave you hanging on
you’ve mistaken your sadness for anger,
and I’m just another one of your pawns
Shoot first, shoot first
and let someone else clean up after
Shoot first, shoot first
I won’t be around for the next disaster
Doesn’t it get so exhausting,
being flawless and alone
When you’re the last man standing,
will you be happy and let it go
I’d rather have my pockets empty,
than to stoop down so low
and now that I’m gone you can’t touch me,
and it kills you, I know
Shoot first, shoot first
and let someone else clean up after
Shoot first, shoot first
I won’t be around for the next disaster
It all comes down to the bottom line
I should’ve known better should’ve read the signs
I broke my back and I lost my mind
Turning water into wine
Shoot first, shoot first
and let someone else clean up after
Shoot first, shoot first
I won’t be around for the next disaster

Break It Slow
03:56
|
|||
Next time the rain is falling
Next time you’re feeling low
Next time you think of calling
Next time you’re travelling slow
Next time that you are lonesome
Next time you miss my warm
Next time you wanna lay your head in my lap
just listening to the storm
Just break my heart
break it slow
I won’t try to mend it
I’ll just watch it bow
You break my heart
each time you go
Just break my heart
break it slow
You’re leaving me defenceless
You’ve got me on my knees
You know I’m full of forgiveness
Which I give to you with ease
so next time that you’re alone
and all you need is loving arms
babe just stay at home
you do nothing but bring me harm
Just break my heart
break it slow
I won’t try to mend it
I’ll just watch it bow
You break my heart
each time you go
Just break my heart
break it slow

It’s hard for a woman to know
The fine line between fast and slow
You said what you would, I did all I could
There’s nothing that I would change
You say that I’m past my prime
there’s no such thing as wasted time
Say what you will, ‘til you’ve had your fill
There’s nothing that I would change
Don’t fence me in
you’re not listening
you’re just waiting for your turn to speak
Toss me aside
you won’t hurt my pride
I know you prefer when I’m weak
Folks wanna tell me their mind
assume that I’m walking in blind
You must be mistaken, I’m far from forsaken
There’s nothing that I would change
There’s nothing that I would change

Reckless Moment
04:37
|
|||
It was a reckless moment,
and I jumped in knowingly, knowingly
My feet were bound in shackles,
but my mind was wanderin’ free, wanderin’ free
Everything was grey
From the rising of the sun to the final light of day
I would hide away
from the people that I love
the ones who wanted me to stay
Nothing felt alright but the night
You warmed me like a blanket,
when I was left out in the cold, in the cold
It was a vicious cycle,
I let addiction take a hold, take a hold
Everything was grey
From the rising of the sun to the final light of day
I would hide away
from the people that I love
the ones who wanted me to stay
Nothing felt alright but the night
I broke down into pieces,
I had nothing left to try, left to try
One way or another,
I’ll see you on the other side, the other side
Everything was grey
From the rising of the sun to the final light of day
I would hide away
from the people that I love
the ones who wanted me to stay
Nothing felt alright
Nothing felt alright
Nothing felt alright but the night

Pockets Full
03:24
|
|||
He comes to see me each Thursday night
and he pays for my drinks ‘cause he misses his wife
We both pretend I don’t charge by the hour
and I got myself convinced I hold all the power
but it’s lonely at 4am
and the line gets crossed again and again
‘Cause my pockets are full but I’m empty inside
yet I hold my head up ‘aint got nothing to hide
I may look like a woman but I feel like a child
my pockets are full but I pay
with a smile
My daddy now tells me he’s made a mistake
and he’s sorry for all those years
that he made my heart break
Some wounds are so deep they can never be healed
don’t you dare try to say you know how it feels
Don’t you tell me how to live
Don’t you tell me I got so much more to give
‘Cause my pockets are full but I’m empty inside
yet I hold my head up ‘aint got nothing to hide
I may look like a woman but I feel like a child
my pockets are full but I pay
with a smile
pay with a smile
pay with a smile

Wounded Bird
04:03
|
|||
I am not a wounded bird, this wing is not broken
I’m just tired of flying high
and leaving words unspoken
You may catch a sideways glance I give when I’m afraid
But I don’t choose to live my life behind barricades
Oh I am not a wounded bird
I am not a china doll, I won’t break in your hand
Just because I’m lying low,
don’t mean I’m stuck in quicksand
You may see that heaviness that shows around my eyes
But I am done, I’ve had enough of wearing a disguise
Oh I am not a wounded bird
I don’t need no saving boy
That you can be sure
I don’t need no knight in rusty armour
I am not a leaky boat, I know you have your doubts
I’m not lost at sea
and you are not my lighthouse
I may choose to show to you some vulnerability
But you can be sure I am at ease in my own company
Oh I am not a wounded bird
I am not a wounded bird
I am not a wounded bird

By Your Side
03:00
|
|||
At the end of the day, as the light fades away
You got me by your side
At the break of the dawn, when the new day is born
You got me by your side
You got me, you got me by your side
You got me, you got me by your side
You may not always see the ways your love set me free
You got me by your side
There may not always be blue skies
There may be heart ache and there may be lies
Sometimes it feels like its too hard
just know that, you can count on me
Trust that, you can trust in me
Your path is unknown, your path is your own
but you got me by your side
Whatever life throws your way I know you will be brave
You got me by your side
You got me, you got me by your side
You got me, you got me by your side
So come take my hand and together we’ll stand
You got me by your side
You got me by your side
