I got the call today, I didn't wanna hear
But I knew that it would come
An old true friend of ours was talkin' on the phone
She said you found someone
And I thought of all the bad luck,
And the struggles we went through
And how I lost me and you lost you
What are these voices outside love's open door
Make us throw off our contentment
And beg for something more?
I'm learning to live without you now
But I miss you sometimes
The more I know, the less I understand
All the things I thought I knew, I'm learning again
I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter
But my will gets weak
And my thoughts seem to scatter
But I think it's about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore
These times are so uncertain
There's a yearning undefined
...People filled with rage
We all need a little tenderness
How can love survive in such a graceless age
The trust and self-assurance that can lead to happiness
They're the very things we kill, I guess
Pride and competition cannot fill these empty arms
And the work I put between us,
Doesn't keep me warm
I'm learning to live without you now
But I miss you, Baby
The more I know, the less I understand
All the things I thought I figured out, I have to learn again
I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter
But everything changes
And my friends seem to scatter
But I think it's about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore
There are people in your life who've come and gone
They let you down and hurt your pride
Better put it all behind you; life goes on
You keep carrin' that anger, it'll eat you inside
I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter
But my will gets weak
And my thoughts seem to scatter
But I think it's about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore
I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter
Because the flesh will get weak
And the ashes will scatter
So I'm thinkin' about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore
Try- you try to get to know me.
But the one you want, I won't be.
I'm half the man that you think that I have been.
My- The words are full of nothing.
Still you search for something.
In the moments that I've probably forgotten.
Inside there's someone you don't want to know.
I don't think that you wanna be a part of me.
I don't think you wanna see the deeper, darker side of me.
I don't think that you're ready for reality.
I don't think you wanna see the deeper, darker side of me.
(Walk away)
I- find a sense of satisfaction.
In a one-night stand of passion.
I'm half the man that you think that I have been.
Inside there's someone you don't want to know.
I don't think that you wanna be a part of me.
I don't think you wanna see the deeper, darker side of me.
I don't think that you're ready for reality.
I don't think you wanna see the deeper, darker side of me.
(Walk away)
Can you trust me?
(Walk away)
I'm empty.
(Walk away)
Cause I might still be here.
Living hell
Might, be, living hell.
Might, be-
I don't think that you wanna be a part of me.
I don't think you wanna see the deeper, darker side of me.
I don't think that you're ready for reality.
I don't think you wanna see the deeper, darker side of me.
(Walk away)
Can you trust me?
(Walk away)
I'm empty.
(Walk away)
Cause I might still be here.
Living hell
Might, be, living hell.
Might, be-
i heard today that you were gone
i had to stop and sing along
the song they played to say goodbye
a song that gave, gave me back life
[chorus]
you'll never fade
the words you gave
my life you saved
your name was layne
and on that day a child was born
to someone who you helped along
and helped see through his darkest times
because of you, this child she is mine
[chorus]
[bridge]
the words you said, you made me feel like they were all for
me
the words you said, they will always be a part of me
the words you said, you made me feel like i was not alone
the words you said, you gave me all the strength to carry on
[chorus (altered)]
so to me you'll never fade
your life you gave
my life you saved
your name was layne
I hope you’re doing fine out there without me
‘Cause I’m not doing so good without you
The things I thought you’d never know about me
Were the things I guess you always understood
So how could I have been so blind for all these years?
Guess I only see the truth through all this fear,
And living without you…
And everything I have in this world
And all that I’ll ever be
It could all fall down around me.
Just as long as I have you,
Right here by me.
I can’t take another day without you
‘Cause baby, I could never make it on my own
I’ve been waiting so long, just to hold you
And to be back in your arms where I belong
Sorry I can’t always find the words to say
But everything I’ve ever known gets swept away
Inside of your love…
And everything I have in this world
And all that I’ll ever be
It could all fall down around me.
Just as long as I have you,
Right here by me.
As the days grow long I see
That time is standing still for me
When you’re not here
Sorry I can’t always find the words to say
Everything I’ve ever known gets swept away
Inside of your love
And everything I have in this world
And all that I’ll ever be
It could all fall down around me.
Just as long as I have you,
Right here by me.
And everything I have in this world
And all that I’ll ever be
It could all fall down around me.
Just as long as I have you,
Right here by me.
Wrap me in a bolt of lightning
Send me on my way still smiling
Maybe that's the way I should go,
Straight into the mouth of the unknown
I left the spare key on the table
Never really thought I'd be able to say
I merely visit on the weekends
I lost my whole life and a dear friend
I've said it so many times
I would change my ways
No, nevermind
God knows I've tried
[Chorus]
Call me a sinner, call me a saint
Tell me it's over I'll still love you the same
Call me your favorite, call me the worst
Tell me it's over I don't wan't you to hurt
It's all that I can say. So, I'll be on my way
I finally put it all together,
But nothing really lasts forever
I had to make a choice that was not mine,
I had to say goodbye for the last time
I kept my whole life in suitcase,
Never really stayed in one place
Maybe that's the way it should be,
You know I've led my life like a gypsy
I've said it so many times
I would change my ways
No, nevermind
God knows I've tried
[Chorus]
Call me a sinner, call me a saint
Tell me it's over I'll still love you the same
Call me your favorite, call me the worst
Tell me it's over I don't wan't you to hurt
It's all that I can say. So, I'll be on my way
I'll always keep you inside, you healed my
Heart and my life... And you know I try.
[Chorus]
Call me a sinner, call me a saint
Tell me it's over I'll still love you the same
Call me your favorite, call me the worst
Tell me it's over I don't wan't you to hurt
It's all that I can say. So, I'll be on my way
So, I'll be on my way
So, I'll be on my way
I'm So Much Like You
Restless And Wreckless
I Need A Clue
So Show Me A Sign
I Feel Like Making A Move
Real Geographic, A Change In Mood
We'll Let Go Of Everything We Know
[chorus]
You And I Will Ride Tonight
'till The Past Is Out Of Sight
We Don't Have To Look Back Now
From The Dark Into The Light
We Can Leave It All Behind
We Can Stand Together, We Don't Have To Look Back Now
I'm So Much Like You
Caught In A Moment, Coming Unglued
In A World So Big, It's Not Easy To Choose
Which Path To Take, Which Pawn To Move
So We'll Let Go Of Everything We've Ever Known
[chorus]
You And I Will Ride Tonight
'till The Past Is Out Of Sight
We Don't Have To Look Back Now
From The Dark Into The Light
We Can Leave It All Behind
We Can Stand Together, We Don't Have To Look Back Now
[bridge]
No One Can Stop Us Now
The World Is Rushing By
The Wind Is At Our Back
Everything's New Tonight, We're Going Our Own Way
No Matter What They Say
The Bridge Is On Fire, We're Flying Higher Now
[chorus]
You And I Will Ride Tonight
'till The Past Is Out Of Sight
We Don't Have To Look Back Now
We Are Knocking Down The Wall, All For One And One For All
We Can Stand Together
Never Gonna Look Back Now
Oh No, Oh No
We Don't Have To Look Back Now
(oh No, Oh No)
We Don't Have To Look Back Now
