The Truth

Another story's been told with my name in the fold.
It's always the same old thing, some joker being bold.
So when I finally say 'who's telling' all these little lies she's yelling,
I always get the same.
Why does she keep protecting these jokers when she tells me,
she's not saying any names.
I'll make a gesture in the air,
cause I'm tryna be polite.
It's like I'm the only one who cares.
Please show me, please show me I'm not right.
But you just do what you can. Take her by the hand.
Tell her the truth. Remind her what you are both fighting for.
Even if that takes breaking the rules to beat other fools,
who hide in the dark and think that their gonna bring you down.
So wont you hear it from me.
From the horses mouth.
We'll read between the lines.
Find the lies and blot em out.
I'll make a gesture in the air,
cause I'm tryna be polite.
It's like I'm the only one who cares.
Please show me, please show me I'm not right.
Because,
It's not easy to do, when love is on the line.
It's not easy to do, when love is on the line.
It's not easy to do, when love is on the line.
It's not easy to do, when love is on the line.
But you just do what you can. Take her by the hand.
Tell her the truth. Remind her what you are both fighting for.
Even if that takes breaking the rules to beat other fools,
who hide in the dark and think that their gonna bring you down.
Because,
It's not easy to do, when love is on the line.
It's not easy to do, when love is on the line.
It's not easy to do, when love is on the line.
It's not easy to do, when love is on the line.

Picture Of You
04:26
|

|
I feel you creeping in my dreams.
Tryna take away my mojo.
It aint exactly what it seems.
When you throw your arms around my shoulders.
When I feel your touch upon my shoulders.
When I feel your breath upon my shoulders.
You take the words right outta my mouth.
You say you're saving me the trouble.
Lets take some time too figure this out,
Or spend our lives inside of a bubble.
Don't wanna be stuck in of a bubble, I wanna be free.
Wont you just burst our little bubble, and come with me.
Or when those, nights come and I'm on my own
I'll keep a, three by five of you in sepia tone
and when those lonely thoughts creep inside my head
I'll be dreaming of you and all that I could have said
To make you stay with me
But right now I just can't say
A lot of shit rolls outta my mouth.
When I think I'm certain of my words.
I'm telling you now there ain't no doubt.
That half my songs are for the birds.
It's not lost on me that the tales of my youth thought me how to lie.
But with these words I'm bringing the truth to blinded eyes.
They say my memory has gone south.
That I've got one thing on my mind.
We've tried our best to work things out
But It's not the life you're tryna find, no.
Oh you know that, you were the one reason I stayed so long
But ow It's time to go and I must stay strong.
So when those, nights come and I'm on my way
and the Picture of you has taken me through the day
When those lonely thoughts creep inside my head
I'll be dreaming of you and all that I could have said
To make you stay with me
But right now I just can't say
When you're left outside in the pouring rain (It'll all be ok).
When you're feel blue on a dark grey dark (It'll all be ok).
When you feel like things are just o going your way (It'll all be ok).
(It'll all be ok), Just picture me, and I'll be back again someday.

Break Out
03:50
|

|
(Verse 1)
It's time to break out.
For me to leave the easy chair.
Nothing left to talk about.
There's nothing left for me here.
(Verse 2)
But when I get two verse deep, forget tongue n cheek.
The only way to round off your week is the weekend.
But while nights come and go the sadness shows,
and the walls you build will slowly grow, till you fade away from view.
(Chorus)
So wont you come with me,
on this journey
and we can break out.
Oh we can break out.
Yeah we can break out, out, out, out, out.
Oh we can break o------u---t.
(Verse 3)
It's time to break out.
I've been learning for a while.
Nothing left to talk about.
I've reached the end of my trial (and this is what I found out).
(Verse 4)
Smiling's cheap if your pockets aint deep.
Just gotta find good friends to help you keep your feet on the ground...
But more than money, if you've got life and love, you've a life above,
the lonely hearts in their money clubs, you just know it's true.
(Chorus)
So wont you come with me,
on this journey,
and we can break out.
Oh we can break out.
Yeah we can break out, out, out, out, out.
Oh we can break o------u---t.
(Hook)
So keep your friends near and hope their around, when the smoke clears and your life's tumbling down.
keep your friends near and hope their around, when the smoke clears
keep your friends near and hope their around, when the smoke clears and your life's tumbling down.
So keep your friends near and hope their around, when the smoke clears.
(Verse 5)
It's time to break out.
For me to leave the easy chair.
Nothing left to take about.
There's no life left for me here.

Tiny Rumours
03:55

I was on the grapevine yesterday.
For reasons I don't know.
And now it just wont go away.
It's the Paulie Fahy show.
No benefit here only doubt,
and tiny tales of woe.
The kind that I can do without.
Takes me straight from high to low.
I said, I don't know what you think you know,
but I wont play a part of your stupid show.
So give me time, for me to say my peace.
It seems like everyone has gotten their say but me.
There's a rumor running round.
It spreads like fire through a timber town.
I won't even try to stop the flames,
cause the more you do the more you are to blame.
The more you are to blame.
For tiny rumors.
Running round in your name.
It's keeping me awake at night.
It gives me trouble when I sleep.
I just cant shake what's on my mind.
I hope the truth will set me free.
And when all is said and done.
I'm not gonna harbor regret.
Nowhere left for me to run.
But I'm not gonna be the one left holding the Gun.
There's a rumor running round.
It spreads like fire through a timber town.
I won't even try to stop the flames,
cause the more you do the more you are to blame.
The more you are to blame.
For tiny rumors.
Running round in your name.
You know you just can't stop them....
Tiny Rumours.
Tiny Rumours.
Tiny Rumours.
Tiny Rumours.
Tiny Rumours.
Tiny Rumours.
Tiny Rumours.
Tiny Rumours.

Fragile
04:12
|

|
Chew me up and spit me out
Just in knowing that I'm there (for you)
It's hard to pretend I don't care
I run my fingers thru your hair
But not before I get in line
Cause you're on the hearts of many minds
You're on the hearts of many minds
Whoa I'm
Fragile yes, but in a way
I'm more difficult to break
But when Im lying by your side
It's like a dream when I'm awake
It's like a dream when I'm awake
I'll be your Prince of darkness
If you'll be my Princess of Light
Then I'll lie at home alone
Waiting for tragedy to strike
Oh oh o oh
But when I raise my hand to speak
You've got my voice, It's going weak
You've got me down upon one knee
But you've got me goin crazy
These sleepless nights I can not take
Cause I am yours to make or break
Please take the former of the latter
Save my soul for heavens sake
Oh save my Soul
Whoa I'm
Fragile yes, but in a way
I'm more difficult to break
But when Im lying by your side
It's like a dream when I'm awake
It's like a dream when I'm awake
Telling stories, Telling fables of the way it used to be
My heart it listens closely
But when I raise my hand to speak
You've got my voice, It's going weak
You've got me down upon one knee
But you've got me goin crazy
These sleepless nights I can not take
Cause I am yours to make or break
Please take the former of the latter
Save my soul for heavens sake
Oh save my Soul
Whoa I'm
Fragile yes, but in a way
I'm more difficult to break
But when Im lying by your side
It's like a dream when I'm awake
It's like a dream when I'm awake

Before The Light
04:15

Tonight she's out to find herself
Cause she's always into something new
I'll follow her thru hell or wealth
To see the person that she turns into
And if I should stay
With her tonight
Will she make me, or break me
Before the Light
And if I should stay
With her tonight
Will she make me, or break me
Before the Light
Tonight he's out to lose himself
He always ends up on the local news
But thru dim lit Bars and Neon Lights
I'll still be the one he comes home too
And if I should stay
With him tonight
Will he make me, or break me
Before the Light
And if I should stay
With him tonight
Will he make me, or break me
Before the Light
Before the Light
Before the Light
Before the Light
Before the Light
----Bridge-----
And if I should stay
And wait tonight
Will it make me, or break me
Before the Light
And if I should stay
And wait tonight
Will it make me, or break me
Before the Light
Before the Light
Before the Light
Before the Light
Before the Light
Before the Light, Before the Light, Before the Light............Fade
