You don't have to put on a show, for the moon. It's as lonely as you. girl, don't you know. you don't have to put on a show. for the moon, is as lonely as you. girl don't you know. you don't have to put on a show. cause you know that the games that you play. well they aint much fun to me, to me. NO it aint much fun to me. when we live in a fantasy. and we sit on the moon, lonely. No it aint much fun to me. alone and we sat on the moon.

Let me tell you all a little story, about a pretty girl that I knew for quite a long while. She had a soft heart, and a kind soul. Blue eyes, and a pretty smile. (well) Did all i could do, to try and keep her. But the poor girl was just way too confused. (and so) all that was left to was warn her. That he was no good, a lowlife, and she'd get used. * CHORUS- So what do you do when you know, that the one you love is going to get hurt? But let them go, and figure it out for themselves. And smile as they treat you like dirt. And the humility is the hardest part. To smile as they treat you like dirt. Well that soft heart.....it turned to stone. And her kind soul.....well it grew cold. And them blue eyes....well they turned dark. and her smile, to me, was never again shown. *CHORUS

Everybody's always got a punchline and a story to tell. Some of them manage to get the timing right, others....not so well. I don't know if i can do the right thing, but i sure can try. I have hurt so many people in my life, sometimes i want to die. *CHORUS- I don't think the answers really came clear, and they never will. You can keep trying to find them dear, you will be here still......... when you go..... down that hole.... Don't you know that i will always be there, to catch you when you fall? This I promise not just to you dear, but to the whole world. I don't know if i did the right thing, but i sure had fun. I have hurt so many people in my life i don't want you to be one.... (praise) *CHORUS ....when you go..... down that hole..... and you fall.....

YOU and ME. we get along together..... you and me yeah, get along just fine. We notice ways to help deal with the pain. but you and me, we refrain. (from it all) You and me, we're wandering souls. Our minds keep growing younger, but our bodies keep growing old... It's not the end, but it sure feels like it is. so you and me. together will be kids. (yes we will) You and me, we get along together. You and me, yeah we should be as one.... We notice ways to eliminate to pain, But you and me...obtain another way. You and me, we're wandering souls. Our minds keep growing younger, but our bodies keep growing old. It's not the end.... but it sure feels like it is.... So you and me together will be kids.

You Built Me 04:18
One of these days, i'll set you free. And break the chains. That bind you to me. I will behave. Do everything, just like you say. We both will roam, the open spaces. One of these days. I'll hold the door, open for you. If you give me a key. I promise
6.
Everyday now. I'm growing stronger. Your mind will succumb to my will I am the KING, and you will bow down, and serve before your man. I know that someday. You'll see things my way. And you, will fall to your knees. Beg for forgiveness. And this i will give, But no mercy will come from my demands. Baby, don't you wonder? how i made that hole in your slumber? Every wave pulls you under can't you see, ? This love comes from the FATHER?

No emotion 05:20
All those people who think I'm strange. Don't think that i, can fly away. All those people who think I'm lame. Don't think that i, have half a brain All those people who think I'm crazy. To say I'm dumb, they're all the same All those people who think I'm useless. Someday I'll rise and glow and prove them wrong. Cause i don't laugh, and i don't cry. There's no emotion, inside of me. I don't get mad. I can't pretend. Can't hear or talk. And i can't see. There's no emotion....Inside of me All those people who think i'm strange. Don't think that i, can fly away. (FLY AWAY) (FLY AWAY) Tell me what it's like. to feel no emotion Tell me what it's like. to feel no emotion to make it numb inside. You feel no emotion so tell me what it's like to feel no emotion to make it numb inside

If only, for a moment. I could have you in my arms again. I would love you so completely. that, the moment would never end. love in turn grows, to eternal. no external influence. *CHORUS- All internal, pain that you know. you could give it. up to me. I would bring it, to my father. he would mold it into a shield. he would turn it into a gun. and we'd hunt that fucker down. If only, for a moment,you could look through it all. you think that i don't understand you, and i never will at all. you say that i won't. I think that i will. i've got a pact for us to kill *CHORUS

Damage 04:34
I'd be lying, if i said. It was seamless at the edge. It was jagged, and red, full of dreams that wound up dead. well the days come, and go, and i wonder should i go it alone. So you can go, right ahead, do your damage Do your best. I will sing out this song. So when you think, that you've found, the one to let your guard down. Then they go, right ahead, do their damage, do their best. And you wonder, as the days, go by, should you go it alone. well i'd show you, all these words, you can sing right along. and you'll sing out this song.

I want you to know. There is always hope. When life get's you raw. traps you in it's claw. It all happens for, a reason i believe. (GOD knows why) And if you just Wait (he'll show you) what's right, will find a way There's no need, for all your hate. All it brings you is double pain. If you learn to lose the bad, you'll find the good on the way You wait for life to be great. locked inside misery But this i know is true: The misery lives in you. Believe me when, i say my friend. That i truly love you. You made your bed, so lay in it. I know that it hurts you. It hurts me too. Peace cannot be created, only found. You should know that by now. When you learn to lose the bad you find the good along the way Peace cannot be created, only found. You should know that by now

When you're down and out, hollow. Remember baby, Nicolle There's nothing that will tear us apart from each other. (except yourself) all the words you meant to say to all those people that you love, they went away forever, baby. No, you'll never be alone When you need a shoulder to lean on oh baby lean on me cause i am here forever for you. No, you'll never be alone. I will be your greatest closest friend and i will be there for you through the thick and thin. Oh baby no, you'll never be alone.

For Wayne 05:29

There are a lot of things i should have done. Other things, i wish i hadn't. All of that doesn't matter. There's one decision i made i could not have made better. I know there will come, hard days. Pain and stormy weather. I will do my best to be your eyes when you can't see. I'll love only you, until my life is over. I will be the sun and i will greet you in the morning. I will be the moon and when the darkness comes i will say goodnight to you. I will be your hands and lift you up when you can't stand. I will be your feet. because: I'll love only you until my life is over.
14.
All that you want. I will give to you. You have my whole world. I want you to rule. Rule me, rule me. I am in servitude. I Love You. I Love You I Love you. All that you want I Love you. I'll give it to you I Love you. You have my whole world I love you. I want you to rule All that you want I am in servitude
