Better Man
Under The Influence
I was sure, I was born and raised to be my own man
I was so sure; I was never going to need a helping hand
And she said, trust in your heart and there’s no need to understand
Well just when I thought I had it planned out
Whatever I do I’m under the influence of you
Whatever I do I’m under the influence of you
I was driving too close to the edge and living dangerously
I felt strange a warm sensation rising up inside of me
Oh like a tidal wave came from nowhere swept me off my feet
Oh but somehow making me complete now
Whatever I do I’m under the influence of you
Whatever I do I’m under the influence of you
Whatever I do I’m under the influence of you
Whatever I do I’m under the influence of you
Once you’ve had a taste of it there’s no going back
Once you’ve had a taste of it there’s no going back
Once you’ve had a taste of it there’s no going back
Once you’ve had a taste of it there’s no going back
Whatever I do I’m under the influence of you
Whatever I do I’m under the influence of you
Whatever I do I’m under the influence of you
Whatever I do I’m under the influence of you
You Give Me Something
You only stay with me in the morning
You only hold me when I sleep
I was meant to tread the water
But now I’ve gotten in too deep
For every piece of me that wants you
Another piece backs away
You give me something
That makes me scared alright
This could be nothing
But I’m willing to give it a try
Please give me something
Because someday I might know my heart
You only waited up for hours
Just to spend a little time alone with me
And I can say I’ve never bought you flowers
I can’t work out what they mean
I never thought that I’d love someone
That was someone else’s dream
You give me something
That makes me scared alright
This could be nothing
But I’m willing to give it a try
Please give me something
Because someday I might call you from my heart
But it might be a second too late
And the words that I could never say
Are gonna come out anyway
You give me something
That makes me scared alright
This could be nothing
But I’m willing to give it a try
Please give me something
You give me something
That makes me scared alright
This could be nothing
But I’m willing to give it a try
Please give me something
Because someday I might know my heart
Know my heart, know my heart, know my heart
Wonderful World
I’ve been down so low
People look at me and they know
They can tell something is wrong
Like I don’t belong
Staring through a window
Standing outside, they’re just too happy to care tonight
I want to be like them
But I’ll mess it up again
I tripped on my way in
And got kicked outside, everybody saw…
And I know that it’s a wonderful world
But I can’t feel it right now
Well I thought that I was doing well
But I just want to cry now
Well I know that it’s a wonderful world
From the sky down to the sea
But I can only see it when you’re here, here with me
Sometimes I feel so full of love
It just comes spilling out
It’s uncomfortable to see
I give it away so easily
But if I had someone I would do anything
I’d never, never, ever let you feel alone
I won’t I won’t leave you, on your own
But who am I to dream?
Dreams are for fools, they let you down…
And I know that it’s a wonderful world
But I can’t feel it right now
Well I thought that I was doing well
But I just want to cry now
Well I know that it’s a wonderful world
From the sky down to the sea
But I can only see it when you’re here, here with me
And I wish that I could make it better
I’d give anything for you to call me, or maybe just a little letter
Oh, we could start again
And I know that it’s a wonderful world
But I can’t feel it right now
Well I thought that I was doing well
But I just want to cry now
Well I know that it’s a wonderful world
From the sky down to the sea
But I can only see it when you’re here, here with me
And I know that it’s a wonderful world
I can’t feel it right now
I got all the right clothes to wear
I just want to cry now
Well I know that it’s a wonderful world
From the sky down to the sea
But I can only see it when you’re here, here with me
And I know that it’s a wonderful world
When you’re with me
The Pieces Don’t Fit Anymore
I’ve been twisting and turning,
In a space that’s too small.
I’ve been drawing the line and watching it fall,
You’ve been closing me in, closing the space in my heart.
Watching us fading and watching it all fall apart.
Chorus
Well I can’t explain why it’s not enough, Cause I gave it all to you.
And if you leave me now, oh just leave me now.
It’s the better thing to do,
It’s time to surrender,
It’s been to long pretending.
Theres no use in trying,
When the pieces don’t fit anymore, Pieces don’t fit here anymore.
You pulled me under,
If I had to give in.
Such a beautiful myth,
That’s breaking my skin.
Well I’ll hide all the bruises,
I’ll hide all the damage that’s done.
But I show how I’m feeling until all the feeling has gone.
(Chorus)
Ooh don’t misunderstand,
How I feel.
Cause I’ve tried, yes I’ve tried.
But still I don’t know why, no I don’t know why.
III dont know why…… whyyyyy!
(Chorus)
One Last Chance
In my life I don’t mean much to anyone
I’ve lost my way can’t go back anymore
Once I had everything now it’s gone
Don’t tell me again coz I’ve heard it all before
Some people say that i’m not worth it
I’ve made mistakes but nobody’s perfect
Guess I’ll give it a try
I’ve got one last chance to get myself together
I can’t lose no more time it’s now or never and I’ll try to remember who i used to be
I’ve got one last chance to get myself together
The time has come for me to change again
I can’t carry on like this, I will lose my friends - don’t say that you have given up on me. Just give me the time and space to heal my head
I don’t wanna be misunderstood
I’ve got to take this chance and make it into something good
Undiscovered
I look at you, you bite your tongue
I don’t know why or where i’m coming from
And in my head i’m close to you
We’re in the rain still searching for the sun
You think that I wanna run and hide
I’ll keep it all locked up inside
I just want you to find me
I’m not lost, I’m not lost, Just undiscovered
And when we’re alone we are all the same as each other
You see the look that’s on my face
You might think im out of place
Im not lost, no no, just undiscovered
Well the time it takes to know someone
It all can change before you know it’s gone (for it’s gone)
So close your eyes and feel the way
I’m with you now believe theres nothing wrong (nothing wrong)
You think that I wanna run and hide
I’ll keep it all locked up inside
I just want you to find me
I’m not lost, Im not lost, Just undiscovered
We’re never alone we’re all the same as each other
You see the look that’s on my face you might think im out of place
I’m not lost, no no, just undiscovered
The Letter
It’s got my name on it,
and it’s just waiting there for me,
i feel the cold run through my veins.
and it’s got her shame on it,
she couldn’t say it to my face,
but i wont waste time placing blame.
[chorus]
but i know that i’ll move on,
and tell myself i’ll find me something better,
i let go and just forget her.
she was no good for me,
deep down i know that’s the way it has to be so,
how comes i still can’t open this letter?
i can’t forget her.
really wish i could
well, there must be a name for it,
whatever this is you’ve done to me,
i’m all twisted up inside.
well who’s gonna pay for it,
if it’s not you i guess it’s me,
you left with you’re life and took mine.
[chorus]x2
it’s got my name on it,
and it’s just waiting there for me.
Call The Police
I’m done, shoot your gun,
i think it’s time to take it back to where we started from,
your pain, my pain,
I’ll write it down and tell you exactly how i feel again.
and all i see,
is a mass of confusion, who i am and what i gotta be,
yeah.
closed eyes, big lines,
i guess you’ll tell me just to let it ride sometimes,
looks good, tastes bad,
makes me wonder where i buried all the dreams i had.
all I see,
is a lees good version of a man i don’t wanna be.
all i feel,
is you tie me down to something that just isn’t real.
all i need,
is some truth god help me,
before the devil buries me.
yeah
i cant do nothing, if i cant do something my way,
well i must be crazy if i follow every word you say.
when the shit comes down, you’ll be the first to walk away.
[chorus]
call the police,
coz I’ve lost control and i really wanna see you bleed.
i’m awake, why wait?
i don’t need someone to tell me who to be today.
i’m quite sure, unlike before,
came off the road and i forgot what i was looking for.
all i see,
is a lees good version of a man i don’t wanna be.
all i feel,
is you tie me down to something that just isn’t real.
all i need,
is some truth god help me,
before the devil buries me, yeah.
i cant do nothing, if i cant do something my way,
well i must be crazy if i follow every word you say.
when the shit comes down, you’re the first to walk away
[chorus]
you can’t just hack at me, you know,
you might just, have to let me go.
close in, i need some room to grow,
you don’t, know what you’re thinking of.
hiding behind you’re pop sheet,
so you, can wreck someone else’s dream.
[chorus]
i cant do nothing, if i cant do something my way,
well i must be crazy if i follow every word you say.
when the shit comes down, you’ll be the first to walk away.
[chorus]
all i feel,
is you tie me down to something that just isn’t real.
all i need,
is some truth god help me,
before the devil buries me, yeah.
This Boy
This boy wants to play,
There’s no time left today,
It’s a shame ’cause he has to go home.
This boy’s got to work
Got to sweat just to pay what he gets to get left all alone.
Well let’s step outside,
Let’s go for a ride,
Just for a while.
No we won’t get caught,
Well that’s what I thought, until we cry.
Chorus
I’m still here,
But it hasn’t been easy,
I’m sure that you had your reasons,
I’m scared for this emotion,
For years I’ve been holding it down,
For years I’ve been holding it down.
This girl tries her best everyday,
But it’s all gone to waste ’cause there’s no one around,
This girl she can draw she can paint,
Likes to dance she can skate,
Now she don’t make a sound.
We?ll play in our park,
‘Till it’s too dark for us to see
Well we’ll make our way home,
With mud on our clothes,
She won’t be pleased.
Chorus
I’m still here,
But it hasn’t been easy,
I’m sure that you had your reasons,
I’m scared for this emotion,
For years I’ve been holding it down,
And I,
Love to forgive and forget,
So I,
Try to put all this behind us,
Just,
Know that my arms are wide open,
The older I get, the more that I know.
Well it’s time to let this go.
I got to let it go
I got to let it go
I got to let it go
I got to let it go
Chorus
I’m still here,
But it hasn’ been easy,
I’m sure that you had your reasons,
I’m scared for this emotion,
For years I’ve been holding it down,
And I,
Love to forgive and forget,
So I,
Try to put all this behind us,
Just,
Know that my arms are wide open,
The older I get, the more that I know.
And I,
Love to forgive and forget,
So I,
Try to put all this behind us,
Just,
Know that my arms are wide open,
The older I get, the more that I know.
If The Rain Must Fall
Oh life can be strange
Good and bad in so many ways
And in time you will find
That things are not always what they seem
Well i’ve got something to say
But you might laugh, joke or run away
Coz i’m awkward and nervous
Sometimes i dont say much at all
But if the rain must fall
If i lose it all
If the world comes down and takes my soul
If the sky turns black
And theres no no way back
It won’t matter much to me
If i had you
All i need is your love
That’s all i need
All i need is your love
Oh well dreams can come true
if you know inside you really want them to or you can sit you can wait
You can leave your fate in someone else’s hands
Oh but I, I want you
And nothing else can make me feel the way you do
So i’m waiting, i’m wishing
That it’s me you’ll be holding tonight and every night
How Come
How come you always wind up changing your direction?
How come you always end up dancing through the room?
How come you always never wanna use protection?
How come you’re floating like a helium balloon?
I can’t keep up
You’re moving too fast
I got to know
Is this gonna last?
Coz i can’t tell whether
your up or you’re down
This whole situation is spinning me round
Spinning me round
Spinning me round
How come you always end up changing your intentions?
How come you always wind up blowing hot and cold?
One minute honest then your full of false pretension
Head in the clouds but still your desperate to control, to control
I just don’t know what to believe
You build me up then you bring me down on my knees
You say you want me
Then your up and your gone
I got to know just where your comming from
Coming from, where your coming from
I got to know before its over
One way or the other
If your stringing me along
I can’t keep up
You’re moving too fast
I got to know
Is this gonna last?
I can’t tell whether your up or you’re down
This whole situation is spinning me round
Spinning me round
Spinning me round
How come?
How come?
How come you always wind up changing your direction?
The Last Goodbye
I don’t believe you
And I never will,
Oh I can’t live by your side
with the lies you’ve tried to instil,
I can’t take anymore,
I don’t have to give you a reason
For leaving this time
Cos this is my last goodbye
It’s like I hardly know you
but maybe I never did.
It’s like every emotion you showed me
you kept well hid,
and every true word that you ever spoke
was really deceiving.
Now I’m leaving this time
cos this is my last goodbye
I’ve gotta turn and walk away,
I don’t have anything left to say
I haven’t already said before
and I’ve grown tired of being used,
and I’m sick and tired of being accused.
Now I’m walking away from you,
and I’m not coming back.
Better Man
There was a time
I had nothing to give
I needed shelter from the storm i was in
And when it all got too heavy
You carried my weight
And i want to hold you
And i want to say
That you are all that i need
For you, I give my soul to keep
You see me, love me
Just the way i am
For you i am a better man
I said you are the reason
For everything i do
I’d be lost, so lost without you
Under the stars
At the edge of the sea
There’s no one around
No one but you and me
We’d talk for hours
As time drifts away
I could stay here forever
And hold you this way
Coz you are all that i need
For you, I give my soul to keep
You see me, love me
Just the way i am
For you i am a better man
I said you are the reason
For everything i do
I’d be lost, so lost without you.
