Lyrics

1. CAN'T KEEP RUNNING

If you expect the worst
The worst is what you get
Every moment lost
Is yet one more regret

You must face the facts
Make a final stand
If you turn away
There won't be another chance, yeah

Somebody did you wrong
Someone stood you up
Somebody else's fault
Victim of circumstance

Face the consequences
Or you are lost

You're losing control again
You can't keep running
Can't keep running
Like you've always done before
There's no escape this time
You must stop running
Must stop running away
If you back down, you will fall

You have reached the end
Your back's against the wall
Will you see the truth?
Or keep the blindfold on?

When life slams the door
Right in your face
Will you leave it shut
Or find another way, yeah

Somebody did you wrong
Someone stood you up
Somebody else's fault
Victim of circumstance

You may have lost the battle
Now win the war

You're losing control again
You can't keep running
Can't keep running
Like you've always done before
There's no escape this time
You must stop running
Must stop running away
If you back down, you will fall

You've been waiting for that perfect moment, yeah
Can't you see that it will never come, yeah

[Solo]

You're losing control again
You can't keep running
Can't keep running
Like you've always done before
There's no escape this time
There's no retreat
And no surrender
If you back down, you will fall


2. CRYING FOR YOU

Ah, ha
Oh, yeah

People change
Like the seasons
So you said
Empty house
Fells like winter now
A storm is closing in

All that we shared
A waste of time
Thanks for nothing
Like it's no big deal
A joke to you
Well, I'm not laughing

Cryin, I'm cryin' for you
And it feels like winter
Cryin, I'm cryin' for you

Feels like Spring
Time's a healer
So it's said
Moving on
See new people
There you stand
And my world just falls apart

Back on square one
Like nothing's changed
I surrender
Like I'm no big deal
A joke to you
Well, I'm not laughing

Cryin, I'm cryin' for you
And it feels like winter
Cryin, I'm cryin' for you
And I long for summer
Cryin, I'm cryin' for you
And it feels like winter
Cryin, I'm cryin' for you

Cryin' for you
Cryin' for you
Cryin' for you
Cryin' for you

[Solo]

Oh, it feels just like winter
And I'mm chilled to the bone
And I'm tired and lonely
Can't wait for the summer to come, whoa

Cryin, I'm cryin' for you
And it feels like winter
Cryin, I'm cryin' for you
And I long for summer
Cryin, I'm cryin' for you
And it feels like winter
Cryin, I'm cryin' for you, oh

Ooh, that's right, I can't wait
I cannot wait no more
Cryin, I'm cryin' for you
Oh, I'm crying for you
For you and only you
Cryin, I'm cryin' for you, ooh


3. IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE

In The Blink Of An Eye

When I saw you from afar
Like a distant glowing star
I had to find out who you are

Do I risk one more regret?
Another heartache to forget
I throw the dice and place my bet

I'd been searching for a light
In this dark and endless night
Now it all just seems so right

In The Blink Of An Eye
Everything has changed
Now that I have found you, girl
You can show me the way
And I know that my heart
Was in the palm of your hand
In The Blink Of An Eye

I'm not playing any games
I swear this by your name
My heart is yours to claim

Till the stars burn out
Till the worlds collide
At the end of time
I'll treasure that you're mine
I can leave my past behind

You're my guiding light
Through this dark and endless night
Now it all just feels so right

In The Blink Of An Eye
Everything has changed
Now that I have found you, girl
You can show me the way
And I know that my heart
Was in the palm of your hand
In The Blink Of An Eye

And it feels like the first time, baby
You're the reason
You make me strong

In The Blink Of An Eye
In The Blink Of An Eye
Everything has changed
Now that I have found you, girl
You can show me the way
And I know that my heart
Was in the palm of your hand
In The Blink Of An Eye

Oh
My heart was in the palm of your hand, oh yeah
In The Blink Of An Eye


4. TOO LATE

One cold December morning
How was I supposed to know
That the words we spoke in anger
Was the last I'd hear from you

I always thought these motions
Was a stage we would get through
But instead of getting better
We kept heading for the fall

So here I am
Lost without you
I just can't get you out of my mind

Is it too late
Too late to be loved by you
My heart breaks in two
I just can't let go
I just can't live without you
Is it too late
Too late to be loved by you
My heart cries for you
What else can I do
I'm still in love with you

One early distant warning
Should have realized by then
But sometimes our hearts don't listen
I guess it's easier to pretend

This fairy tale we lived in
It was too good to be true
While you reached for something different
I was holding out for you

Back on my own
I pick up the pieces
Of what is left
There must be a way

Is it too late
Too late to be loved by you
My heart breaks in two
I just can't let go
I just can't live without you
Is it too late
Too late to be loved by you
My heart cries for you
What else can I do
I'm still in love with you

And when the lonely shadow falls
I keep holding on
I keep holding on
And I've tried my best to let you go
But the hurting just gets stronger
So I'm calling out to you

[Solo]

Is it too late
Too late to be loved by you
My heart breaks in two
I just can't let go
I just can't live without you
Is it too late
Too late to be loved by you
My heart cries for you
What else can I do
I'm still in love with you


5. GINA

Gina's got a dirty secret

I saw her standing there, a perfect vision
Just like a sculpture of a flawless design
She could be right there in the Sixteenth Chapel
It's like the heavens tried to show me a sign

And as my heart began to beat
I almost fell down to my knees
How could I have known

That Gina's got a dirty secret
I'm joining the club of fools defeated

I wouldn't listen to the vicious rumors
My heart was blinded, I just wouldn't see
But now I'm standing here with eyes wide open
I guess in retrospect the joke is on me

And as my heart began to bleed
She had me crawling at her feet
I should have known

That Gina's got a dirty secret
I'm joining the club of fools defeated

Falling, dreaming, into a sweet surrender
I should have listened to the vicious rumors

Gina's got a dirty secret
I'm joining the club of fools defeated

Gina's got a dirty secret
A high price to pay just to be mistreated

Ooh, yeah


6. THIS IS IT

I turn the page and look away
I'll save the world another day
How can I change the way it's always been

The images keep haunting me
I try to pretend it isn't real
I change the channel, try hard not to feel

We're past the point of no return
I wonder if we'll ever learn

This is it
It's the world that we create
Every day we walk this earth
Gotta live for what it's worth
This is it
Let us pray it's not too late
To work out what went wrong
'cause together we are strong

Just another city night
The neon lights, is this the good life
The images still echo in my mind

But what am I supposed to do
I must find the strength to see this through
I wonder if you feel the same way too

If we don't unite, we'll fall
Everyone must hear the call

This is it
It's the world that we create
Every day we walk this earth
Gotta live for what it's worth
This is it
Let us pray it's not too late
To work out what went wrong
'cause together we are strong

Hold me as the daylight's fading
Hold me close tonight
Hold me as the daylight's fading
Hold me close tonight

[Solo]

This is it
It's the world that we create
Every day we walk this earth
Gotta live for what it's worth
This is it
Let us pray it's not too late
To work out what went wrong
'cause together we are strong

Can't stop believing there must be a way
We'll find the answers one day
Silent no longer, don't stand in our way
Never, not ever again

This is it
It's the world that we create
Every day we walk this earth
Gotta live for what it's worth
This is it
Let us pray it's not too late
To work out what went wrong
'cause together we are strong

Let us pray it's not too late
Let's try and work out what went wrong
Oh, I hope it's not too late


7. THE ONE FOR ME

I'm trying hard, but I can't fall asleep
Another night has come
You took my heart, and now it's yours to keep
Don't need it anymore

And I'm thinking of what could have been
But it's a dead end road
There's a feeling building deep within
It almost drives me crazy
You can't know, if you haven't been there

One step forward
And two steps back
Another dream has just fallen through the cracks
And whatever might happen
Whatever may come
You will always be the one for me
The one for me

The morning comes, I tumble out of bed
Trying to be strong
But fools rush in where angels fear to tread
And now our future's gone

I wonder how I could have been so blind
I didn't think ahead
I try to block your face out of my mind
Lord knows that ain't working
'cause you will always be there

One step forward
And two steps back
Another dream has just fallen through the cracks
And whatever might happen
Whatever may come
You will always be the one for me
The one for me

Time will heal, they say
And I know that hearts can change
I guess I'll have to find a way
I must go on without regrets

[Solo]

Ooh, and I'm still thinking of what could have been
What is now long gone
I try to lift my head and find the strength
to find a new beginning
And remove the stone from my heart

One step forward
And two steps back
Another dream has just fallen through the cracks
And whatever might happen
Whatever may come
You will always be the one for me
Always be the one for me

One step forward
And two steps back
Another dream has just fallen through the cracks
And whatever might happen
Whatever may come
You will always be the one for me
The one for me

One step forward
And two steps back, ooh

Whatever might happen
Wherever you go
You will always be the one for me


8. SAID AND DONE

Door slams and you walk out
So I sit down and shake my head
While you curse me, scream and shout
I'm glad I'm outta love

You tried to change my ways, but no
I couldn't be your lap dog, honey
Turn me on, turn me off
Too bad you were so cruel

This time I'm leaving you for sure
There's no way I can stand this
There's nothing we can say to each other no more

And now it's all said and done
Last time I fall in love
Well, it's all said and done
There's no you and me
It never was and never will be
Feel free to leave
You're the last thing that I need
Said and done

I've got some news for you, woman
Don't act like I'm the bad guy now
No hero will save you now
So call your sugar Dad

This time I'm leaving you for sure
There's no way I can stand this
There's nothing we can say to each other no more

And now it's all said and done
Last time I fall in love
Well, it's all said and done
There's no you and me
It never was and never will be
Feel free to leave
You're the last thing that I need
Said and done

[Solo]

In time you will see
In time you will wake up all alone
How will it feel
When you reach for love, and wander into the dark
Wander into the dark
Into the dark

And now it's all said and done
Now it's all said and done

Now it's all said and done
Last time I fall in love
Well, it's all said and done
Last time I fall in love
Well, it's all said and done
Last time I fall in love
It's all said and done
There's no you and me
It never was and never will be
So feel free to leave
'cause you're the last thing that I need
Said and done


9. MATTERS OF THE HEART

Watching you walk across the room
Is that a smile?
An angel with scars you cannot hide
Ooh, yeah

If I could take away your pain
And make you see
You have a future here with me
Ooh, yeah

If love is stronger in this world than hate
Listen to your heart and take a leap of faith

Leave your sorrow, let us reach up to the skies
We can make it if you dare to try
Take my hand, we'll make a brand new start
Love's the only thing that matters to the heart

Meeting your eyes across the room
Seeing you smile
I'd give the world to make you mine
Ooh, yeah

'Cause love is stronger in this world than hate
Just call my name and I'll be on my way, yeah

Leave your sorrow, let us reach up to the skies
We can make it if you dare to try
Take my hand, we'll make a brand new start
Love's the only thing that matters to the heart

If you dare to love again, mmm
Girl, I'm reaching out
I'm ready, here I stand
Here I stand

[Solo]

Leave your sorrow, let us reach up to the skies
We can make it if you dare to try
Take my hand, we'll make a brand new start
Love's the only thing that matters to the heart
My heart


10. WHAT LOVE IS ALL ABOUT

One dream, one heart, one soul
The things that make us whole

I hear the word going 'round this town
How you've done me wrong
Too many nights I've been left alone
Now the hurt starts to show

I always thought you were captivated
Anyone could see
I never knew you could be so jaded
That you'd rather be free

When you crash
That's when you find out
What you can't live without
Make it last
And you will find out
What love is all about

What's the deal, did your feet get cold?
Did I get too close?
Should I believe the things that I've been told?
Is this how it goes?

It doesn't have to be complicated
Let your feelings show
Is it true that your love has faded?
Can't we still make it grow?

When you crash
That's when you find out
What you can't live without
Make it last
And you will find out
What love is all about

One dream, one heart, one soul
What you can't live without
The things that make us whole
What love is all about

Time time is on our side
If we never give in
If we never surrender
Surrender

[Solo]

I always thought you were captivated
Anyone could see
I never knew you could be so jaded
That you'd rather be free

When you crash
That's when you find out
What you can't live without
Make it last
And you will find out
What love is all about

When you crash
That's when you find out
What you can't live without
Make it last
And you will find out
What love is all about

One dream, one heart, one soul
What you can't live without
The things that make us whole
What love is all about

One dream, one heart, one soul
The things that make us whole


11. MEND MY HEART

In this torn up world
I find it hard to see
That there's someone who believes in honesty
Worth to stick around
I'd rather leave with pride
So much easier when love is not around

But soft as a whisper
You've taken the power over me
I want it to be love

Feels like when lightning strikes
And the world collides
You tell me "How can you slam the door on love?"
It takes a lot of trust and time
It could be worth a try
To take a jump without fearing for the fall
I lost my direction
You found a way to mend my heart

Who had ever thought
In this worn and broken heart
There would be something left to concur and succeed
That deeply yearns for love
Although I'm scarred and burned
I tried to run, but then my feet just wouldn't move

Soft as a whisper
My heart is inspired
You've taken the power over me
I want it to be love

Feels like when lightning strikes
And the world collides
You tell me "How can you slam the door on love?"
It takes a lot of trust and time
It could be worth a try
To take a jump without fearing for the fall
I lost my direction
You found a way to mend my heart

All the days I've been alone
Never let nobody in
Now I'm taking back control
I am ready to begin

Feels like when lightning strikes
And the world collides
You tell me "How can you slam the door on love?"
It takes a lot of trust and time
It could be worth a try
To take a jump without fearing for the fall
I lost my direction
You found a way to mend my heart
You found a way to mend my heart
