I hope I never
Have to leave this earth
But if I do
It'll be with a smile on my face
All because of
It's all because of you
You let me in
Inside your heart
I'm here to stay
Won't even let death do us part
I hope you never
Have to leave this earth
And I can't even bear the thought of it
A life without you
Well that just wouldn't work, oh no
We built this home
Filled it with love
We're here to stay
Won't let anyone stand in our way
And on the day that we wed
I made a promise I meant
And if I had the chance
I'd do it all again
I know we're ready for this
I never had a doubt
And when two become three
I know we'll figure it out
We built this home
It’s full of love
I think we’ll stay

I wanna take all of your heartache and turn it into bliss
You tell me that's unnecessary, but I insist
You can be sure when you're away that you will be missed
How can I think of anyone else when I know that you exist
Is it too much to ask to have you all to myself
I'd have no need for money babe cuz you'd be my wealth
I'd have no need for clocks you'd take up all of my time
There'd be no need for reason girl cuz you'd be my rhyme
Let's let time tell this tale of what you and I will be
But the truth is only what you choose to believe
Faith is all I have and truth is all I speak
So believe me when I tell you that I am all you'll ever need
I make the complicated simple and I'll make your life complete
I will blur the line between your dreams and your reality
Take everything that you want and turn in into actuality
Not talkin' about the tangible I'm talkin' sensuality

Well it's finally winter
And the sun is sitting lower in the sky
It has taken me these past six months
To understand our demise
You're a contradiction constructed out of flesh
I think it's about time I change my Christmas wish
Because this year will be
The very first year
Of my new life
My new life without you
Yeah this time will be
The very last time
That I see you
You only get so many tries
Well the sun sets a little earlier now
As it falls beneath the trees
And if you were the sun and I was the sky then I'd say
You set too early on me
Now I'll be going to another place
Where the sun is high and you will be erased
Didn't give it a chance, always a second too late
Can't even get it right in my dreams
But that will all change
Because this year will be
The very first year
Of my new life
My new life on my own
Yeah, this time will be
The very last time
That I do this
All alone

I think I liked you more than I can admit
But you ripped out my heart, and stepped on it
I did everything that, I could do
But I guess all I did wasn’t, good enough for you
Now I can see that
I wasn’t slacking
Found out the hard way you’re
Better while lacking
You’re just a big fish
In a pond of one
We played a game for two but
I think you won
I spent way too much time, thinkin’ of you
I couldn’t eat, I couldn’t sleep, nothin’ I could do
Now I sit and wonder, ‘Bout all that I went through
I realize it wasn’t worth it, just to be with you
You, you could’ve had it all
But now you’re all, now you’re all alone
No and it’s not, no it’s not my fault
I don’t need you, I don’t need you anymore
Oh no I don’t, I don’t, need you, anymore
I don’t need you, I don’t need you
I don’t need you, anymore

I never thought that love
Could feel like such a rush
How could it ever feel
Feel like it does
I was told no one could
Ever love me
How could they
I was broken
Down inside
My whole world was crumbling
But then I found you
And it opened up my eyes
A never ending love
Oh it took me by surprise
Standing here beside you
Not knowing what comes next
Butterflies flood around us
We don’t know what to expect
Everything, seemed so clear
Unprepared for something, this real
When you came, into my life
I released all my fears
I was told no one could
Ever love me
But you opened up my eyes
My life changed
In an instant
The moment you became mine
I found you
And it opened up my eyes
A never ending love
Oh it took me by surprise
I became yours
You became mine
A never ending love
Oh it took us by surprise

Maybe if there were more like you
Then this world would be a better place
You showed me all I could do
And that's something that can’t be replaced
They say that the apple don't
Fall far from the tree
But I know it's the orchard that makes
All the fruit ripe to eat
And now I know what you see
Every time you look at me
I've seen it all for myself now
All that this life can be
And it don't matter how far I go
I won't lose my way
The seeds of life and love keep on growing
Deeper rooted each day
I’m sorry if I ever gave you
A reason to doubt
I hope I’m half as able
To lead a life so devout

Another dress, another tie
Covered in blood, can you tell me why?
We see hate, guns & knives, where we work
Another son, another life
Someone’s daughter, gone before her time
Why do we see, death and violence, where we learn?
No regard, for human life
You know I see it, every time I drive
We become more arrogant and careless, by the day
The only thing we stand to gain
From a life consumed by hate
Is a body in a grave
Or your own misguided fate
No one said that life was fair
But only you can make it change
We are on this earth to grow
So it’s time we act our age
Another row, another grave
Another life that, could’ve been saved
If only we could put our egos away
Another place, another war
Can you tell me what’s worth killing for?
If only we could put our hate to rest
If we’re all wrong, then who is right?
Can we put our differences is aside
I think you’ll see, that all we want is to survive
Yeah it’s time we act our age
Our age, our age

You ran out your door
Into the pouring rain
The moment that I saw you
I could not feel the pain
Your face was the sun
Shining through the clouds
We held on to each other
For what seemed like hours
You said that you needed me
“Yes, I know” was my reply
I could have told you that
Way before we said goodbye
Don’t you know that I, think about you
Every single day
About the time we found love
That just won’t go away
So I shoved your sunglasses
To back of the drawer
Cuz I couldn’t bear to have them
Stare at me anymore
But that isn’t why I came here tonight
(I’ll pretend that it’s over)
No I don’t want to start a fight
(And pray to God that it’s not)
Let me stay until the morning light
(You are all that I wanted)
I’ll make it worth your while
(And all that I am not)
It’d be worth mine just to see you smile
(Doesn’t matter what he can do)
Yeah I’d walk a million miles
(What would he do for you)
Just to see you smile

Stay inside, stay inside
You’re gonna die, gonna die
Stay inside, stay inside
You’re gonna die, gonna die
Ten million questions but nobody’s got an answer
Creeping across the world taking over like a cancer
All these politicians thinking maybe it won’t get to them
The writing’s on the wall and it’s time for better leadership
Now the body count is rising
And we’re painfully aware
Everybody’s downsizing
We had plenty of time to prepare
Stay inside, stay inside
Save a life, save a life
Stay inside, stay inside
Save a life, save a life
If you're thinking that it's too late you've got it in your sights
Pedal backwards as they mitigate, neither side is right
If you're thinking that it's too late you've got it in your sights
Pedal backwards as they mitigate, neither side is right
If you pick a side, you ain't on mine
Now you see how fast
That everybody acts
Against a threat that don’t discriminate

I want, something
That does not exist
Although, it did
At one time
Body, nor soul
Can be blamed
The burden lies within my mind
Can somebody tell me how
How can I get it back
No limit to what I’d do
If only I could have it back
I lie, awake
Night after night
Shuddering, shaking
My mind won’t stop
Racing, pacing
Can’t settle down
There is no outlet for the pain
