You've got to hold on tonight
Do you think that it's easy trying to take me for a ride?
Signs.... time that you recognised them
Doesn't work anymore, it's gone and you can't make it right
Please just read my lips, get the message now baby
I been tangled enough, don't get me caught up again
Time I've lost count of the times I've been had do you blame me
But enough of this madness, no more to say it's been said
All this time I've been holding it together
If you walked a mile in my shoes you'd know what
I'd been going through
How many times can we go back?
Make the same mistakes, it's written all over your face
You and I were a river flowing
Now the tide has turned and all of my tears have run dry
How come I am the one left standing?
Now I'm drowning inside
All of my tears have run dry
Back right where I started again
But it's hard to forget
Everything's so different then
I would have moved mountains
If you'd asked me to
That's a lifetime ago
You've got to face up to the truth
Forgetting all of our mistakes
I just keep on falling right back in again
You and I were a river flowing
Now the tide has turned
And all of my tears have run dry
How come I am the one left standing?
Now I'm drowning inside
All of my tears have run dry
Turned my back and I don't regret it
One more time would be hell if I let it
Take my word for it, don't forget it
Check my eyes cause my tears have run dry
You and I were a river flowing
Now the tide has turned
And all of me tears have run dry
How come I am the one left standing?
Now I'm drowning inside
All of my tears have run dry

If I were you
I wouldn't hurt the ones you love the way you do
I wouldn't make them cry
If I were you
I would learn to see the other point of view
You don't even try
Let's say that you were me
We'd do things differently
Cut out all the fear and lies
Then maybe you could see
The possibility to compromise
If I were you
I would look at all the quarreling we do
Cause that's no help at all
If I were you
I would give a little credit where it's due
That would be my call
Let's say that you were me
We'd do things differently
And cut out all the hurt and pain
Then maybe you could see
The possibility to love again
If I had the choice
You would make yourself heard
Without raising your voice
In my master plan
You could get your own way
Without raising your hand
I don't want to be the one
Getting it wrong time after time
I no longer want to play games
For any reason or rhyme
Nobody's asking you to do something
You don't want to do
If I were you
I wouldn't hurt the ones you love the way you do
I wouldn't make them cry
If I were you
I would learn to see the other point of view
But you don't even try
If I were you

I want a perfect child
To live a perfect life in this world
And though my heart tells me this could never be
I see it all so perfectly
They say when we have children
It changes how we live
Changes our direction
From take to give
It changes our perspective
Of how the world should be
Our hopes and aspirations
Of what we want to see
I want a perfect child
To live a perfect life in this world
And though my heart tells me this could never be
I see it all so perfectly
See her kind and pretty
See her neat and smart
See her like her mother
With a golden heart
See him tall and handsome
See he has resolved
Believe he's like his father
But without his fathers faults
I want a perfect child
To live a perfect life in this world
And though my heart tells me this could never be
I see it all so perfectly
I know these dreams are fragile
Never work out as you planned
I pray that God will hold them
In the hollow of his hand
I want a perfect child
I see it all
I want a perfect child
I want a perfect child
To live a perfect life in this world
Though my heart tells me this could never be
Could never be, never be, no no no
I see it all so perfectly
To live a perfect life
Perfect life in this world
Though my heart tells
This could never be

I been keeping it to myself
I been thinking about it all day long
I got nobody I can blame
They say what goes around surely comes around
I wouldn't dream of trying to complicate your life
You don't need to change anything you do
Because
I don't want it all
I just need some time
A piece of love that I can hold on to
I don't want it all
I just need to feel
Something good is happening in my life
I read my paper and get depressed
No point in hanging around waiting for a call
I don't expect you to read my mind
This time I'm going to tell you exactly how I feel
I need the thought of stealing a moment with you
So I can just keep holding on
Because
I don't want it all
I just need some time
A piece of love that I can hold on to
I don't want it all
I just need to feel
Something good is happening in my life
Do you think you want to be free this time
I'll do anything to make you mine
I'll do anything
I don't want it all
I just need some time
A piece of love that I can hold on to
I don't want it all
I just need to feel
Something good is happening in my life
I don't want it all
I just need some time
A piece of love that I can hold on to
I don't want it all
I just need to feel
Something good is happening in my life
I been keeping it to myself
Thinking about it all day long
I just need some time
I don't want it all
I just need to feel something good
I just need some time
I just need some time
A piece of love that I can hold on to
I don't want it all
I just need to feel
Something good is happening in my life
I don't want it all
I just need some time
A piece of love that I can hold on to
I don't want it all
I just need to feel
Something good is happening in my life
I don't want it all
I just need some time
A piece of love that I can hold on to

How can I tell you
And sound like I mean what I say?
You turned a light on in me
And it shines to this day
Once it was easy
To open my heart up to you
Now you know the way
That I'm feeling better than I do
Why can't I just say what I mean?
Words don't come easy to me
I think you sometimes
Forget how I feel about you
You come alive every time
That the message gets through
Why can't I just say what I mean?
Words don't come easy to me
You and I we've got something going on
That I know you don't find every day
You and I we belong together
That's the way that I want it to stay
Sooner or later
The penny will drop and you'll see
That I don't want anyone else
And you only need me
Why can't I just say what I mean?
Words don't come easy to me
You and I we've got something going on
That I know you don't find every day
You and I we belong together
That's the way that I want it to stay
How can I tell you and make you believe what I say?

She lied to me
I don't get it, I'm not letting it go
I can't get through anymore, not this time
She cheated me
Of all my senses up against it this time
I can't fight anymore, not this time
Falling I'm falling
Sooner or later there'll be nothing out there
All that I believe in
Spinning around me it don't make no sense
And I'm falling I'm falling
Sooner or later there'll be nobody left
Calling I'm calling
Somebody stop me falling off the edge of this life
What does it take?
Someone hear me, listen clearly I'm done
She broke my heart in her hand and was gone
Can I get through, tell me
I'm in free fall down
And I can't stop now it's not right
She turned my soul out and left me undone
Falling I'm falling
Sooner or later there'll be nothing out there
All that I believe in
Spinning around me it don't make any sense now
Falling I'm falling
Sooner or later there'll be nobody left
Calling I'm calling
Somebody stop me falling in and out of this life
Falling I'm falling
Sooner or later there'll be nothing out there
All that I believe in
Spinning around me it don't make any sense now
Falling I'm falling
Sooner or later there'll be nobody left
Calling I'm calling
Somebody stop me falling off the edge of this life

Somewhere along the line
We convince ourselves
Accept the ordinary
Refuse to read the signs
We just can't see
The extraordinary
Somewhere along the way
Dreams become a burden
I don't want to hear you say
That you're not certain of our love
Somewhere behind the sun
All the simple things
Appear as complicated
We substitute the fun
In a complex game
We call sophisticated
Somewhere along the way
Hopes turn to illusion
I don't want to hear you say
It's the conclusion of our love
Somewhere along the way
We lose imagination
It's new just to hear you say
In celebration of our love
Somewhere along the line
We convince ourselves
Accept the ordinary
Refuse to read the signs
We just can't see
The extraordinary
Somewhere along the line
