I pack my bags and say goodbye to my wife for what seems like the millionth time. They said it gets easier, but they lied. She looks at me and says “Really baby? I will be just fine,” but then she looks away so I don’t have to see her cry. And that is when I ask myself; How am I supposed to be everything they expect me to be when

I feel so alone, cause I left my heart at home. She needs me, but I know they need me too. So God, give me the strength to do what you created me to do. Really I’m so thankful for the people I meet, the places I’ve been and the things I’ve seen, but when she’s not here it doesn’t feel like I’m living my dream. I know they say that no one is perfect, but I swear she’s perfect for me and that makes it so much harder to leave. How am I supposed to be everything they expect me to be when I feel so alone, cause I left my heart at home. She needs me, but I know they need me too. So God, give me the strength to do what you created me to do.

If you miss me, I’m just a phone call away. Please be strong, be strong for me. I need you to show me how to change the inside of me. For my heart, for their sake. Be strong, be strong for me! How am I supposed to be everything they expect me to be when I feel so alone, so alone! How am I supposed to be everything they expect me to be when I feel so alone, cause I left my heart at home. She needs me, but I know they need me too. So God, give me the strength to do what you created me to do.

Don’t lose your soul as your eyes roll shut Don’t worry, it will be over Hold on though, you’re alone, I am there with you That much at least I can promise You know what’s to come to not accept this Don’t lose your soul, you must fight for each breath Don’t go quietly Don’t cry out for God Just breathe in and out

Don’t cry out for God Just breathe in and out We are but lambs to the slaughter now I have no fear of death itself So don’t try and save me and please, God, forsake me I’ll suffer alone, I just want to be left My soul has flown and I am what is left I am skin and bones I am skin and bones

If we were children I would bake you a mud pie Warm and brown beneath the sun Never learned to climb a tree but I would try Just to show you what I’d done Oh what I wouldn’t do If I had you, babe, I had you Oh what I wouldn’t do If I had you, babe If I were old, my dearest, you would be older But I would crawl upon your lap

Wrap a blanket round our frail little shoulders And I’d die happily like that Oh what I wouldn’t do If I had you, babe, I had you Oh what I wouldn’t do If I had you, babe, if I had you So lace your hands round the small of my back and I will kiss you like a king I will be your bride, I’ll keep you warm at night I will sing, I will sing It was now and we were both in the same place Didn’t know how to say the words With my heart ticking like a bomb in a birdcage I left before someone got hurt ‘Cause it was what I wouldn’t do If I had you, babe, I had you It was what I wouldn’t do When I had you, babe, when I had you

I’m just a little bit caught in the middle Life is a maze and love is a riddle I don’t know where to go I can’t do it alone I’ve tried And I don’t know why Slow it down Make it stop Or else my heart is going to pop ‘Cause it’s too much Yeah, it’s a lot To be something I’m not I’m a fool Out of love ‘

Cause I just can’t get enough I’m just a little bit caught in the middle Life is a maze and love is a riddle I don’t know where to go I can’t do it alone I’ve tried And I don’t know why I’m just a little girl lost in the moment I’m so scared but I don’t show it I can’t figure it out It’s bringing me down I know I’ve got to let it go And just enjoy the show The sun is hot In the sky Just like a giant spotlight The people follow the sign And synchronize in time It’s a joke Nobody knows They’ve got a ticket to that show Yeah I’m just a little bit caught in the middle Life is a maze and love is a riddle I dont know where to go

I can’t do it alone I’ve tried And I don’t know why I’m just a little girl lost in the moment I’m so scared but I don’t show it I can’t figure it out It’s bringing me down I know I’ve got to let it go And just enjoy the show Just enjoy the show I’m just a little bit caught in the middle Life is a maze and love is a riddle I dont know where to go I can’t do it alone I’ve tried And I don’t know why I’m just a little girl lost in the moment I’m so scared but I don’t show it I can’t figure it out It’s bringing me down I know I’ve got to let it go And just enjoy the show dum de dum dudum de dum Just enjoy the show dum de dum dudum de dum

Just enjoy the show I want my money back I want my money back I want my money back Just enjoy the show I want my money back I want my money back I want my money back Just enjoy the show

I’ve been sitting around for way to long and the world is looking like its getting smaller by the minute I was bound up in chains and I just have to say Let me run like the horses on the range and I promise you I’ll never ever complain Let me run from all these years of wasted space and I promise you

I’ never ever change These chains that are holding me, make it so hard for me to breath, the air, most of us do not even see I’ speak for all, confined by these walls, which have held us too a humiliating crawl, there ain’t know doubt once I get out I’m gonna Run like the horses on the range and I promise you I’ll never ever complain let me run from all these years of wasted space and I promise you I’ll never ever change I wanna run like the horses on the range, and I promise you I’ll never ever complain let me run from all these years of wasted space and I promise you I’ll never ever change

I just can’t seem, to get it right today I just can’t seem, to get it right today I just can’t seem, to get it right today I guess I’m gonna give up Oh, I guess I’m gonna give up It’s nearly been a year since he’s been gone But we still sing his goodbye songs And she knows, she should move on But she just can’t let him go

No, she just can’t let him go I’m sorry if I made you wanna cry I’m sorry if I made you wanna cry You should know I never meant to hide I just hate bringin’ you down Oh, I just hate bringin’ you down I just can’t seem to get it right today I just can’t seem to get it right today I just can’t seem to get it right today I guess I’m gonna give up Oh, I guess I’m gonna give up And I dropped my paintbrush in the dirt I’m still numb by just how much I hurt I cut my hand, wait for it to work But I just couldn’t bring him back No, I just couldn’t bring him back I just can’t seem to get it right today Oh, I just can’t seem to get it right today

I just can’t seem to get it right today I guess I’m gonna give up Oh, I guess I’m gonna give up Oh, I guess I’m gonna give up Oh, I guess I’m gonna give up Oh, I guess I’m gonna give up Oh, I guess I’m gonna give up Oh Lord, I said I guess I’m gonna give up Oh Lord, I said I guess I’m gonna give up

Tell me, tell me a secret And i will share some of mine My steps led to your doorsteps Your doorsteps soon became mine This home is where my heart is My heart is where we both live I’m sorry for acting so silly Sometimes it gets in the way But i’m standing by your side No matter what may… …tempt me not to get by

I’ll slip do fit into your dreams And i’ll dream until i’m put to sleep This breath is yet one less I keep saying yes and nothing less Whatever little time there is left I want to share it You make it worth it (2x) I want to share it with you…

Well I’ve been here before Sat on the floor in a grey grey room Where I stay in all day I don’t eat, but I play with this grey grey food Desole, if someone is prayin’ then I might break out, Desole, even if I scream I can’t scream that loud I’m all alone again Crawling back home again Stuck by the phone again

Well I’ve been here before Sat on a floor in a grey grey mood Where I stay up all night And all that I write is a grey grey tune So pray for me child, just for a while That I might break out yeah Pray for me child Even a smile would do for now ‘Cause I’m all alone again Crawling back home again Stuck by the phone again Have I still got you to be my open door Have I still got you to be my sandy shore Have I still got you to cross my bridge in this storm Have I still got you to keep me warm If I squeeze my grape then I drink my wine ‘Cause if I squeeze my grape and I drink my wine Oh, ’cause nothing is lost, it’s just frozen in frost,

And it’s opening time, there’s no-one in line But I’ve still got me to be your open door, I’ve still got me to be your sandy shore I’ve still got me to cross your bridge in this storm And I’ve still got me to keep you warm Warmer than warm, yeah Warmer than warm, yeah Warmer than warm, yeah Warmer than warm, yeah

To the man who writes the music in my head, Did you retire? Were you fired? Did you skip out on your rent? Did you go crazy? Just get lazy? Did you meet the perfect lady? Can you tell me where you went? Furthermore, I’d like to ask for your advice, I know a girl who still believes that she’s In love with “

Mr. Right” He’s unfaithful, its disgraceful, And she always lets it slide Now she don’t even put up a fight. And I was hoping you could tell me what it means, To be alive when you survive what happened Down in New Orleans I’ve seen the news, and im confused Cause its grey where once was green Bad news don’t seem that “new” to me. To the man who writes the music in my head Are you tired, uninspired? Did you lose your favorite pen? Did you overuse your muse, Can you steal one from a friend? It’s time we started singin again…

I stood alone, upon the platform in vain The Puerto Ricans they were playing me salsa in the rain With open doors and manual locks In fast food parking lots I headed West, I was a man on the move New York had lied to me, I needed the truth Oh, I need somebody, needed someone I could trust I don’t gamble, but if

I did I would bet on us Like the Dead Sea You told me I was like the Dead Sea You’ll never sink when you are with me Oh, Lord, like the Dead Sea Whoa, I’m like the Dead Sea [Video version:] The nicest words you ever said to me [Album version:] The finest words you ever said to me Honey can’t you see, I was born to be, be your Dead Sea You told me you were good at running away Domestic life, it never suited you like a suitcase You left with just the clothes on your back You took the rest when you took the map Yes, there are times we live for somebody else Your father died and you decided to live It for yourself you felt, you just felt it was time

And I’m glad, cause you with cats, that’s just not right Like the Dead Sea You told me I was like the Dead Sea You’ll never sink when you are with me Oh, Lord, I’m your Dead Sea Whoa, I’m like the Dead Sea The nicest words you ever said to me Honey can’t you see I was born to be, be your dead sea I’ve been down, I’ve been defeated You’re the message, I will heed it. Would you stay, Would you stay the night? Dead Sea, You told me I was like the Dead Sea I never sink when you are with me Oh, Lord, I’m your Dead Sea Whoa, I’m like the Dead Sea The nicest words you ever said to me Honey can’t you see I was born to be, be your

Dead Sea
