Wait where do you think you’re heading Without at least just telling me why it is you’re leaving this behind? Don’t think you’re leaving without at least admitting right now that you believe you are a friend of mine Because all along you’ll be a friend of mine Yes and all along you’re a good friend of mine Always good intention to admit we should hold hands Won’t you just give in and admit i’m your best friend now, will be the time we said goodbye Wait, where do you think you’re heading Without at least just telling me Why it is you’re leaving this behind? I know you hated all the time that we spent on yelling Why did we not just stay the friends we knew? Because all along you’re a good a friend of mine Yes and all along you’ll be a friend of mine Yes and all along youre a good friend of mine Yes and all along you’ll be a friend of mine Well and all along you’re a good friend of mine

Big Life 05:46
Follow your steps to the end of the hall Open your eyes, let them take you, take you, take you to the door Knowing we go, yet we stay anyway Before you go, you give All life, all life, all life so much more We all know we die It comes on its own time We all know we die in life So be big in your life We all take a chance with a heart and a mind The outcome gets bad But you, still try, still try You try time after time We all know we die It comes on its own time We all know we die in life So be big in your life Just be big in your life In the end you’ll see your life was bigger Than if you had not lived it so bold In the end you’ll see your life was bigger And remember why you were so bold In the end they’ll see your life was bigger Than if you had not lived it so bold In the end they’ll see your life was bigger And remember why you were so bold

You stayed up all night Walking around in your wedding dress I started this fight Calling them out in your defense I called them out one by one Each brandishing a stolen gun I called them out in your defense You know the rest Now i lay to rest I stayed up all night Writing you this letter, beth To tell of this fight All my blood drawn cold An awful mess Six shooters in the hands of five I took down four, left one alive He drew and shot through smoke and death You know the rest Now i close my eyes And i say…. Oh, i say I gotta say goodbye Now i say good bye You’ve gotta say goodbye, now Right now Just say goodbye Now we say goodbye Yes we say goodbye Now we say goodbye You’ll stay up all night Knowing i loved you to death

Rain On 03:52
Sometimes it rains And sometimes it pours Well, i don’t know the difference anymore Sometimes you cry, cry ‘til you’re sore Then beg me to scrape Your heart off the floor Just keep your head down Search hand and knee Pick up your own heart Pick up with your sleeve You drowned in the sink Or alone in the sea The difference it makes Is not made on me Sometimes it rains Oh, and sometimes it pours No, i don’t know the difference anymore Sometimes you cry oh and cry ‘til your sore I won’t know the difference…. Anymore And i wont know the difference… anymore Always we lost, in our cause Deciding we’re bored Returning things that we have lost And once loved before
6.
Always with love, always with all of my love From me I give you all love I give you nothing but this love From me Never leave myself any dignity Why do you steal love? Why do you steal all of this love From me? I give you all love No more less than all the love You’ll need Always have all of the, all the space you need Never leave myself any Space for me And so you walk around now You hate the lonely and the down So quick to call this creepiness Always one creep missed Always one you miss The one inside of you, i guess You never gave love So now there will be no more love From me
7.
Hold my shoulders level eyed And call me out the way I know you used to Something changed this time you lied And looked at me a way I was not used to I see the truth and know you’ll die Along the way and will not mean to Knowing i have bought more time I need to live and love The way I used to The way I used to Having this much time to give I’ll be sure to make sure I have and kept you One last time around the table I‘ll chase you again the way I used to You see the closest time to die a man can cheat Or make him sure he loves you I must admit flirting with death has made me see you in a light a light that suits you The way I used to Could you stay aside a man on broken knee? Do you need to take more time to prove and see That you could look at me The way I used to Hold your eyes Be a man alive The way I used to Watch you smile See you smile inside, the way I used to The way I used to The way I used to

December 04:16
I could take this hollowed moon And show you sometime soon Things you could remember And you would run out on this day And lie that you’re ok Then turn give me the finger Don’t throw these things away You know that they get better I can say without a lie Things would be just fine By december Just wait until december When it’s time for me to prove That you i will not lose I will treat you better Try and stay just for a time The truth is that i’ve lied Have your coat on go outside Keep warm while you cry In december I’ll promise you december By december A change would have you cry By december A change would have me cry By december This change will have us cry By december

Tight Fist 03:33
You know it always ends up like this You in the corner with tight fists Giving me those eyes Like you used to do Why does it always come down to this You in the corner, less happiness It’s all about the things we used to do Tears will come and times will be tough Screamin’ and fightin’ not enough for us to dispose of love Layin’ in our bed late afternoon And talking about the things that i will do to you before we’re through Oh, oh, i’m getting better No, no don’t throw away these days ‘cause you know, we’ll be ok You know it always ends up like this You in the corner with tight fists Giving me those eyes like you used to do Just giving me those eyes like you used to do You’re giving me those eyes like we’re through

You’re white!! You cannot sleep tonight You’re white You’re white Well i can help…. Save your life You will be ok with time Just be sure you don’t lie You will be ok in time I can help…save your life

Hey, don’t you try and kill me off today Know, i will up and run Just keep up your face And don’t let me down We’re both holed up in this room for hours You sad lonely coward Just move Get up and run from these people you’ve come to let skin you Well that’s what you do And don’t let me down Don’t let me down Just get up and run Now And don’t let me down Well it’s hard not to fall on this face When i let down friends who dropped by just to save A man let down by all these promises That i’ve often made Well get up today Show you’re ok Don’t let me down! Don’t let me down! Just get up and run, now Don’t let me down Don’t let me down Don’t let me down Don’t let me down…
