This World 02:53
I've walked in your shoes Took a walk along the Queenie Stood and looked at the bridge where a man fell into the water I knew the man who pressed the button And he had to learn to live with it Whether he was a good man or not makes no difference What is done is done Our memories are short so we can carry the burden that our lives have become But there is still beauty if you look for it You need to open your eyes and your heart and you'll see it This world is beautiful This world is cruel You just need to embrace it all like it embraces you This world is beautiful This world is cruel You just need to embrace it all like it embraces you This world is beautiful This world is cruel You just need to embrace it all like it embraces you It's the mother holding the child she thought she'd never have It's the tears of joy she cries The laughter at life's comedy The smile on the face of the dying man as he thinks of the irony of his life It's everything and nothing Something that we can't touch yet we all possess This world is beautiful This world is cruel You just need to embrace it all like it embraces you This world is beautiful This world is cruel You just need to embrace it all like it embraces you This world is beautiful This world is cruel You just need to embrace it all like it embraces you This world is beautiful This world is cruel You just need to embrace it all like it embraces you This world is beautiful This world is cruel This world is beautiful This world is cruel You just need to embrace it all like it embraces you

Know-it-all 03:06
Please forgive my outburst I don't often lose my temper But you really push all my buttons You're too intelligent for your own good You psychoanalyse then reply You always fire with such precision You use sarcasm like it's a blanket The world is on fire but you are safe under it What I'm trying to say is you're a know-it-all But one day you'll take a great fall And it's gonna hurt cos of the height You've elevated What I'm trying to say is you're a know-it-all But one day you'll take a great fall And it's gonna hurt cos of the height You've elevated yourself up to You have best friends at each others throats You set them up then you love to boast We are all just pawns in your chess game Every single one of us end up getting played There ain't no escape from you Ain't no secret you can't extract And there never is a witty enough come back to stop you in your tracks What I'm trying to say is you're a know-it-all But one day you'll take a great fall And it's gonna hurt cos of the height You've elevated yourself up to What I'm trying to say is you're a know-it-all But one day you'll take a great fall And it's gonna hurt cos of the height You've elevated yourself up to Oh it's gonna hurt when you take a fall Oh it's gonna hurt when you finally come tumbling down What I'm trying to say is you're a know-it-all But one day you'll take a great fall And it's gonna hurt cos of the height You've elevated What I'm trying to say is you're a know-it-all But one day you're gonna take a great fall And it's gonna hurt cos of the height You've elevated yourself up to

Romantically 03:03
I came to see you to straighten things out I didn't want to leave things the way they were Didn't want to have any bad feeling between us Didn't mean to put my foot in my mouth I should have thought before I said it out loud Had no idea it would cause a crisis between us Some things are better off not said but I tend to cross the line then regret it I know you are looking for a sweet sweet wife but all I am is a friend who tries to show you I love you but not step over the line Of course I love you but romantically I'm not into you like you're into me Of course I love you but romantically I'm not into you like you're into me Of course I love you but romantically I'm not a match for you You're just not right for me Of course I love you but romantically I'm not a match for you You're just not right for me When you touch my hand I should be hearing music playing in my head but I don't I just see you as a friend and I don't think that will change It doesn't matter what you do what you say or how you dress It's a constant that will never change I value your friendship too much to risk anyways I want you in my life as a friend I need you in my life as a friend Oh Please be my friend Of course I love you but romantically I'm not into you like you're into me Of course I love you but romantically I'm not into you like you're into me Of course I love you but romantically I'm not a match for you You're just not right for me Of course I love you but romantically I'm not a match for you You're just not a match for me Of course I love you but romantically I'm not into you like you're into me Of course I love you but romantically I'm not into you like you're into me Of course I love you but romantically I'm not a match for you You're just not right for me Of course I love you but romantically I'm not a match for you You're just not right for me

Don't put words in my mouth I'm in enough trouble without you spinning webs of doubt everywhere you go Forgiveness is a touchy subject with you as you expect a lot of forgiveness for you but you don't leave me with much wiggle room I stand by my original statement that I'm not perfect but I'm trying my best why ain't that good enough for you? Yes I made a big mistake And Yes I've got to live with it But I will try to be a better person for it Yes I made a big mistake And Yes I've got to live with it But I will try to be a better person for it sticks and stones will break my bones Names will emotionally scar me Every little digs hurts I'll remember them all I'll use it as a smokescreen I'll use it as a smokescreen I won't let you know how I'm really feeling Yes I made a big mistake And Yes I've got to live with it But I will try to be a better person for it Yes I made a big mistake And Yes I've got to live with it But I will try to be a better person for it Yes I made a big mistake And Yes I've got to live with it But I will try to be a better person for it Yes I made a big mistake And Yes I've got to live with it But I will try to be a better person for it

Got a head full of doubts A pocket full of coins Got a heart full of endless possibilities You say live and enjoy life but all that I have done is dig a deeper hole for myself each and every day I'm looking for answers in all the wrong places And I even know what I'm throwing away Don't quote lines from the bible Cos none of them apply here I don't think I could be saved anyway It's a case of survival I'm getting by by the skin of my teeth I'm coasting on the edge of my seat I'm just getting by Everyday is a little victory I'm just surviving Another day another victory So tell me about what it is that I can do for you? How can I be of assistance to you? Maybe together we can make a difference Guess we spend our lives looking for proof that our lives have been worthwhile Maybe we lose ourselves searching for the truth When the answers we seek have always been in view just we couldn't see it for looking straight at it I'm getting by Everyday is a little victory I'm just surviving Another day another victory The harder I try The more I realise that a stranger's smile Can lift the weight of the world straight off my shoulders Can take the pain out of my heart If I give you my hand will you let me help you? If I can love you could you love me back too? Could you love me back too? I'm just getting by Everyday is a little victory I'm just surviving Another day another victory

Always 02:55
I hold myself back when I just wanna dive in I bite my tongue whe I just wanna scream I act so reserved I'm sure there is an extrovert trapped in my waiting to be released As if your love could save me I've wanted your love so long I almost lost faith But I still remember how it feels And I will love you always I take a deep breath and start again I close my eyes and count to ten It was a long time ago But I can't forget how I felt when I was with you Your arms felt like home to me Your kisses taste like bliss to me As if your love could rescue me I've wanted your love so long I almost lost faith But I still remember how it feels And I will love you always

What a magnificent mess I've made of my life The only thing keeping me going is your smile When you're faced with hard times think of me Think of these words I want you to succeed I want your dreams to come true Reach for the stars Oh reach for the stars And breathe Reach for the stars Oh reach for the stars for me Don't let anybody get in your way It don't matter what they say keep you head up You've gotta be strong And if you fall get back up again Don't dwell on things that you can't change Don't ever lock away your dreams Be inspirational be aspiring be all that you can be I'll always be behind you to catch you if you fall Reach for the stars Oh reach for the stars And breathe Reach for the stars Oh reach for the stars for me When the time comes I hope you get a moment of glory I hope it's more than just 15 minutes of fame I hope it's everything you dreamt it would be and so much more And I hope that good luck follows you everywhere you go I hope you are loved I hope you know that you're the one thing that I love more than anything Reach for the stars Oh reach for the stars And breathe Reach for the stars Oh reach for the stars for me Reach for the stars Oh reach for the stars Reach for the stars Oh reach for the stars for me

She's got the bluest eyes I've ever seen A taste of paradise, so serene She's got a magnetic smile It attracts all she meets You can't help but love her But how does she feel? When the spotlight is off When the music stops Who is behind that mountain of makeup? Do her real words get lost in translation? She climbed all the way to the top just to have her whole life criticised She climbed all the way to the top find that she was all alone She climbed all the way to the top but the spotlight is never off She climbed all the way to the top to find she's alone A night of ectasy with a stranger Tomorrow it will be in every paper That is all she has got Her little broken heart cannot be contained She's got her entourage they all remain But not one of them is a real friend And that is what you need when you climb to the top You need somebody you can trust She climbed all the way to the top just to have her whole life criticised She climbed all the way to the top find she was alone She climbed all the way to the top but the spotlight is never off She climbed all the way to the top to find she's alone She climbed all the way to the top just to have her whole life criticised She climbed all the way to the top find that she's alone She climbed all the way to the top

I thought that love could save me but I don't know if that is true yet Did I put all my eggs in the wrong basket? Did I take too long to listen to my heart as it said You are the one, You are the one, the only one You are the one, You are the one, the only one Here I stand on your doorstep Demanding that you love love me back Here I stand and I ain't moving Until you tell me how you really feel I understand if you don't love me If you are sure that you don't want me Just let me know and I'll let you go Don't spare my feelings Just tell me the truth Speak from your heart Speak from your heart Here I stand on your doorstep Demanding that you love love me back Here I stand and I ain't moving Until you tell me how you really feel Here I stand on your doorstep Demanding that you love love me back Here I stand and I ain't moving Until you tell me how you really feel How you really feel How you really feel How you really feel Just tell me how you feel
