Les paroles


1. CAN'T SLOW DOWN

Feel the blood rushing through my veins
Baby don't stop
Because I'm ready to blow
Standing still doesn't work for me
Taking my shot
I've got places to go

Once you get just a little taste
And you feel the heat coming on strong
There's no way you're turning back
Oh, I got to keep moving on

Do or die, every day and night
My eyes are on the prize
With the road underneath my feet
I'm learning how to fly

I can't slow down
I'm on the run, chasing down a dream
I won't slow down
I need some room, some room to breath
And no matter how the world may change
It's the fire inside, the burning flame, oh
I won't slow down
I can't slow down

Take a chance, time to make a change
Hit while it's hot
I've got nothing to loose
Taking
One day
At a time
Wanna see it all come true

Do or die, every day and night
My eyes are on the prize
Keep the world underneath my feet
I'm learning how to fly

I can't slow down
I'm on the run, chasing down a dream
I won't slow down
I need some room, some room to breath
And no matter how the world may change
It's the fire inside, the burning flame, oh
I won't slow down
I can't slow down

Whooooooooo

Ahhhhhhhhhh

I can't slow down
I'm on the run, chasing down a dream
I won't slow down
I need some room, some room to breath
And no matter how the world may change
It's the fire inside, the burning flame
I won't slow down
I can't slow down, I can't slow down


2. IN PIECES

Here I am in this place again
It's not where I wanna be, with you
It feels like we've been here a thousand times
Now I think we've crossed the line
Don't know how we'll make it through

The more it hurts, the more it seems so clear
I'm asking you - Where do we go from here?

In pieces...
I see our love - Scattered all around
In pieces...
Our broken hearts - Shattered on the ground
And all the dreams we could have shared
Are torn up like we never cared
In pieces...

Ohhhhhhh... In pieces

Through your eyes, I see a pain inside
What used to be so innocent, is gone
Did we have to kill the only thing
That made our love so beautiful
Tell me where did we go wrong?

We need to help each other out this time
And we can make it better if we try
Ohhhhhhh...

In pieces...
I see our love - Scattered all around
In pieces...
Our broken hearts - Shattered on the ground
And all the dreams we could have shared
Are torn up like we never cared
In pieces...

Ohhhhhhh... In pieces...

The bridges that are burned...
Ohhhh...
The lessons that we learned...
You're everything to me...
Baby we're not meant to be...

In pieces...
I see our love - Scattered all around
In pieces...
Our broken hearts - Shattered on the ground
And all the dreams we could have shared
Are torn up like we never cared
In pieces...

Ohhhhhhh... In pieces...

In pieces...

In pieces...

Ohhhhhh...

In pieces...

In pieces...

Ohhhhhhhhhh... In pieces...


3. WHEN IT COMES TO LOVE

I remember the day
Seems so far away
When I walked into your life
And the look in your eyes
How it took you by suprise
But it felt so right

Then I drew you in
Told you anything
Cause I wanted you so bad
Girl I led you on
Said there's nothing wrong
In giving your heart to me

But when it comes to love
I should know better
When it comes to love
I take the blame
Cause you are the one I should've held on to
Aahhh, it coulda been you

I never realized
Though time was on my side
Lost sight of my perfect world
And the man that I've become
From the damage that I've done
It's so clear to me now

Well I wish that I
Never was the kind
To steal a lonely heart
And I didn't see how good you were for me
Now it's too late to go back

Cause when it comes to love
I should know better
When it comes to love
I take the blame
Cause you are the one I should've held on to

When it comes to love
Girl I can't help it
When it comes to love
I always lose my way
And you are the one I should've held on to

Ah, it coulda been you
Making a change in my heart
Finding a new place to start
Wondering what I can do
Will I ever get over you... no

When it comes to love
I should know better
When it comes to love
I take the blame
Cause you are the one I should've held on to


4. LIVING IN A DREAM

I got nowhere to go
There's no hiding place for me
I've used up all my connections
And I've got no guarantees
And I'm out on the street now
With a monkey on my back
I need somebody to help me
To get my soul back on track

Oh, someone to have faith in me
Oh, will somebody set me free
I'm living in a dream
In a sea of desperation
Living in a dream
Won't you come and rescue me
Living in a dream
Searching for salvation
Oh please, baby please
Won't you come and rescue me

I'm no different than you
You don't have to understand
We've all had our problems
Now I need a helping hand
And yeah

Oh, someone to have faith in me
Oh, will somebody set me free
I'm living in a dream
In a sea of desperation
Living in a dream
Won't you come and rescue me
Living in a dream
Searching for salvation
Oh please, baby please
Won't you come and rescue me

I got nowhere to go
Got a monkey on my back
I need some help from above now
To get my soul back on track, oh
I'm living in a dream
In a scene of desperation
Living in a dream
Won't you come and rescue me
Living in a dream
Searching for salvation
Oh please, baby please
Won't you come and rescue me.


5. I CAN'T GIVE UP

So many times I've thought about
What my life would be
Without you, without you...

It would be easier, I know,
But being all alone
What would I do, what would I do

Though you put me through it all,
Pushed my back against the wall
I need you...

[Chorus:]
And I can't give up on you now
I've come too far to try
To get you out of my mind
I can't give up on you now
You're my heart, you're my soul
And I won't let you go
I can't give up, can't give up on you now...

How did we let our perfect world
Break apart in so many pieces
I can't believe it

We were living in a dream come true,
Why did we let it slip right through our fingers
What did we do

But there's one thing I can't ignore
Knowing it's worth fighting for
I need you...

[Chorus]

Aaahhhh...

Oooohhh...

Though you put me through it all
Pushed my back against the wall
I need you...

[Chorus]

Oooohhh...

Aaaahhh...

Oooohhh...

Aaaahhh...


6. READY

Another night, an empty bed
With the devil in my head
I hear voices everywhere
I look around but no one's there, I said

It's so out of control
I'm down deep, I'm stuck in a hole
I can't go on like this
I'm all beat up, my life's a mess

I've been a fool, wasted time
And now I have to draw the line
'Cause I can't carry on like this

And I'm ready, for my world to change
I'm ready, for a brand new day
I'm ready, I've got to find a better place
Oh oh, cause I"m ready

I can't remember what I did last night
My body's achin', must've been a fight
Don't even know where I left my guitar
My keys, my money, I'm fallin' apart

Caught up in the same old game
Ten miles high then I'm down in flames
How can I go on like this

Yes I'm ready, for my world to change
I'm ready, for a brand new day
I'm ready, I've got to find a better place
Oh oh, I"m ready
Yes, I'm ready

I've been tryin, but I can't win
I need to pull myself together again
But I can't do this on my own
I need someone to take me home

'Cause I'm ready, for my world to change
I'm ready, for a brand new day
I'm ready, I've got to find a better place
Cause I"m ready, yes I am

I'm ready, for my life to change
I'm ready, I'm just a step away
I'm ready, I got to find a better place
Oh oh, cause I'm ready
I'm ready
Ooh yeah, I"m ready


7. GIVE ME A SIGN

Well, there's something inside that tells me
I gotta fight or let you go
I'm not taking this light, yeah
If you want we can take it slow

'Cause there's one thing missing in my life
You and I know we need a change
Gotta try, gotta get it right this time
And this love could be good again

I will give you all I can to show you I'm your man
It would mean the world to me if you'd understand

Give me a sign and let me know
If you gonna stay then tell me so
Should I try to hang on or maybe let go?
Yeah, you got to give me a sign, give me a sign

Well, there ain't no use in pretending
'Cause I got no secrets to hide
I'll be true to you till the end, girl
I need you right here by my side

I always give you all I can
To show you I'm your man
You know you mean the world to me
If only you could understand

Give me a sign, better let me know
If you gonna stay then tell me so
Should I try to hold on or maybe let go?
Yeah, you got to give me a sign, give it to me

Oh, I need a sign to let me know
If you gonna stay then tell me so
Should I try to hang on or maybe let go?
Yeah, you got to give me a sign, give me a sign

So what's it gonna take? Make up your mind
Don't go wasting my time
And Lord, I need an answer now
What's it's gonna be? Ahhh, the waiting is killing me

Yeah, give me a sign and let me know
If you gonna stay then tell me so
Should I try to hold on or maybe let go?
Yeah, you got to give me a sign, give it to me

Oh, I need a sign to let me know
If you gonna stay then tell me so
Should I try to hang on or maybe let go?
Yeah, you got to give me a sign, give me a sign

Give me a sign and let me know
If you gonna stay then tell me so
Should I try to hold on or maybe let go?
Yeah, you got to give me a sign, give it to me

Oh, I need a sign to let me know
If you gonna stay then tell me so
Should I try to hang on or maybe let go?


8. I'LL BE HOME TONIGHT

Every night I've been on my own
I dream of you and comin' home
Those empty hours spent missin' you
Are over now did what I had to.

I live from day to day
Tryin' to find my way

Now I need to know you care
Will you still be there?

'Cause I'll be home tonight
Tell me you will be waiting
It's been way too long.

You've been on my mind
And my heart has been aching
Ever since I've been gone
So turn on the light
'Cause I'll be home tonight.

It's hard to face the fear inside
Wonderin' how we both survive
The desperate times we made it through.
Now in the end I'm comin back to you.

I live from day to day
Tryin' to find my way

Now I need to know you care
Will you still be there?

'Cause I'll be home tonight
Tell me you will be waiting
It's been way too long.

You've been on my mind
And my heart has been aching
Ever since I've been gone
So turn on the light
'Cause I'll be home tonight.

[guitar solo]

I'll be home tonight, tonight
(I'll be home)

'Cause I'll be home tonight
Tell me you will be waiting
It's been way too long.

You've been on my mind
And my heart has been aching
Ever since I've been gone.
I'll be home tonight,
I'll be home tonight.
[fade out]


9. TOO LATE

Here we are
Feels like we're strangers
Acting like we don't know something's wrong
We've been hanging on
To what's dead and gone,
Have we finally reached the point of no return?

Is the price we're paying way too steep
For all the promises we could not keep
I believe...

It's too late to take
Back the things you did to me
It's too bad it's too late (it's too bad too late)
I tried but this time you've gone and crossed the line
It's too bad it's too late

It's a shame
But we have ourselves to blame
The question is can we remain as friends?
Do we stand a chance? (do we stand a chance)
Or has our time passed (or has our time passed)
And is this just the way the story ends

You're saying all the words I've longed to hear
And though you're sorry baby one thing's clear
I believe...

It's too late to take back the things you did to me
It's too bad it's too late (it's too bad too late)
Ohh it's too late
I tried but this time you've gone and crossed the line
It's bad it's too late (it's too late)

[Solo]

It's too late to take back the things you did to me
It's too bad it's too late (it's too bad too late)
I tried but this time you've gone and crossed the line
It's too bad it's too late
It's too late to take back the things you did to me
It's too bad it's too late (it's too bad too late)
Oh it's too late
I tried but this time you've gone and crossed the line
It's too bad it's too late
Don't you know it's much too late
I can't take it baby no it's late
I wanna say for you I don't know if I'm gonna stay it's too late
Oohhh...


10. LONELY

Miles and miles of space between
The black and white of you and me
The silver line on the other side
Lost it's shine when I took the ride
You can see right through these eyes
What I feel for you, I can't disguise

I thought I'd be happy being alone
But I'm lonely (lonely)
I thought I'd be better on my own
Now I'm sorry, you told me

I would come on and beg to you again
Than regret everything that I did
I thought I'd be happy being alone
But I'm lonely (lonely)
I'm lonely

Empty rooms and bad mistakes
Message learned way too late
How to change what I begun
Choices made, the damage done
See it written on my face
What I feel for you I can't replace

I thought I'd be happy being alone
But I'm lonely (lonely)
I thought I'd be better on my own now
I'm sorry, you told me

I would come on and beg to you again
Then regret everything that I did
I thought I'd be happy being alone
But I'm lonely (lonely)
I'm lonely

I thought I'd be happy being alone
But I'm lonely
I thought I'd be better on my own now
I'm sorry, I'm sorry

I would come on and beg to you again
Then regret everything that I did
I thought I'd be happy being alone
But I'm lonely (lonely)
I'm lonely

Oohhh, ohhh

I'm lonely


11. AS LONG AS I LIVE

I see you in my dreams
You feel so close to me
There's nowhere in this world
That I would rather be
Forever in this moment
Forever in this dream

'Cause baby every hour away from you is only a waste of time
I wanna give my love to you all my life

As long as I live
Every day and night
I'll do anything
To keep our love alive
That's all I can
That's all I can give
As long as I live

Visions of my past
Fading into gray
What matters to me now
Is what I have today
You and me together
Is how we will remain

We know that I'll be there to care for you and always by your side
'Cause that's all I wanna do all my life

As long as I live
Every day and night
I'll do anything
To keep our love alive
That's all I can
That's all I can give
As long as I live

Oh the emptiness
Broken promises
Till you came along
And swept away my lonely days
Now without your love in my life
I don't know what I'll do to get by
Or how I'll survive

As long as I live
Every day and night
I'll do anything
To keep our love alive
That's all I can
That's all I can give
As long as I live

As long as I live
That's all I can
That's all I can give
As long as I live


12. ANGEL TONIGHT

When nothing goes my way
And late nights turn to days
I spend my life in and out of trouble
And everywhere I turn, I never seem to learn
Ending up my own worst enemy
I can't get by alone, I'm helpless on my own
When I'm desperate and I got nowhere to go

I need an angel tonight
To come around and save me this time
Just take away the pain that's killing me and show me the light

I need an angel tonight

Haahh...
People I meet when I'm out there on the street
Open up the door to temptation
And every time they try, it's hard up to get by
Then find the strength to carry me through
You know there's a price to pay each time I lose my way
Now I need someone here by my side

I need an angel tonight
To come around and save me this time
Just take away the pain that's killing me and show me the light

Ohhh...
I need an angel tonight

To come and help me now
Oohhh, She gives me what I need
Like an angel up above me now
Hey...

I need an angel tonight
To come around and save me this time
Just take away the pain that's killing me and show me the light

Ohhh

I need an angel
Oohhh an angel
Talking about an angel
Dreaming about an angel
Ohh an angel tonight
Yeah, just an angel
Talking about an angel
Oohh, she's an angel


13. FOOL FOR YOU ANYWAY

Well I miss you honey
A little more every day
And I know if I kissed you
You'd be comin' back home to stay

'Cause I know I was wrong
But how long do I have to pay?

You know you belong here beside me
I'm a fool for you anyway
I'm a fool for you anyway
'Cause I'm a fool for you anyway

Well I cried for you so long
My river of tears ran dry
And I tried to be so strong
But grew weaker as time went by

You know your love left a mark on me
I don't think it will fade away

I'll sit here and wait 'til you come home
I'm a fool for you anyway
I'm a fool for you anyway
Fool for you anyway

Wooo...

You know your love left a mark on me, haohhh
I don't think it will fade away

I'll sit here and wait 'til you come home
'Cause I'm a fool for you anyway
'Cause I'm a fool for you anyway
I'm a fool for you anyway

Oohhh, fool for you anyway
Oohhh, 'cause I'm a fool for you anyway
Oh yeah, I'm a fool for you anyway
Oh I'm a fool I'm a fool
I'm a fool for you anyway
Ha now now now now now
I'm a fool
Oohh I'm a fool
I'm a fool for you anyway way
Oh yeah, I'm a fool for you anyway
