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
2.
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
6.
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
8.
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
10.
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
