Every rose has its thorn
We both lie silently still
In the dead of the night
Although we both lie close together
We feel miles apart inside
Was it something I said or something I did
Did my words not come out right
Though I tried not to hurt you
Yeah I tried
But I guess that's why they say
Every rose has its thorn
Just like every night has its dawn
Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song
Every rose has its thorn
Yeah it does
I listen to our favorite song
Playing on the radio
Hear the DJ say he loves a game of easy come and easy go
But I wonder does he know
Has he ever felt like this
And I know that you'd be here right now
If I could let you know somehow
Every rose has its thorn
Just like every night has its dawn
Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song
Every rose has its thorn
Though it's been a while now
I can still feel so much pain
Like a knife that cuts you the wound heals
but that scar, that scar remains
Every rose, every rose, every rose has it's thorn
I know I could saved a love that night
If I'd known what to say
Instead of makin' love
We both made our separate ways
and now I hear you found somebody new
and that I never meant that much to you
To hear that tears me up inside
And to see you cuts me like a knife
Every rose has its thorn
Just like every night has its dawn
Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song
Every rose has its thorn
Yeah it does
Two more lonely people
need to feel your heartbeat
When you say you love me
I don't want to hear it
If it's something that you don't mean
If I had to leave you now
There would be an empty space
It doesn't matter anyhow
You can take your things
And go your own way
And there's two more lonely people
In the world tonight
Baby, you and I
And just two more lonely people
Who gave up the fight
Yeah, wrong or right
Well you know my heart is aching
You don't have to break it
If love don't change your mind
Then there's to more lonely people tonight
I don't want the pictures
I don't want your sympathy
We don't have to be friends
We don't have to be enemies
In my head I break it down
And I'm absolutely sure
That you and I could work it out
Or we could kill the lights
On what we had before
And there's two more lonely people
In the world tonight
Baby, you and I
And just two more lonely people
Who gave up the fight
Yeah, wrong or right
Well you know my heart is aching
You don't have to break it
If love don't change your mind
Then there's to more lonely people
Well, we got something special
That should be enough
Nothing is predictable
When it comes to love
Maybe let me baby and feel a little love
But if you walk away tonight
We'll be two more lonely people
In the world tonight
Baby, you and I
And just two more lonely people
Who gave up the fight
And there's two more lonely people
In the world tonight
Baby, you and I
And just two more lonely people
Who gave up the fight
Yeah, wrong or right
Well you know my heart is aching
You don't have to break it
If love don't change your mind
Then there's to more lonely people tonight
Forgiveness and Love
Imagining you're far away
Searching for the words to say
I feel it when you fall apart
Our lives are our greatest art
I don't wanna change your mind
Cause I accept you for everything you are and will be
Stay here with me now
The only thing that our hearts are made of
Are the acts of forgiveness and love
The only thing real when push comes to shove
Are the acts of forgiveness and love
Cause in the end no one loses or wins
The story begins again and again
With forgiveness and love
You don't ever have to read my mind
You can see it when you close your eyes
Don't believe it when you lose your faith
Another moment is a moment away
I can't tell you what the future holds
Or how to live
All I know is what feels right lights up my life again and again
The only thing that our hearts are made of
Are the acts of forgiveness and love
The only thing real when push comes to shove
Are the acts of forgiveness and love
Cause in the end no one loses or wins
The story begins again and again
With forgiveness and love
Let's jump the sun
Let's find forever
Where does the time go?
Just live your life
You'll get another today, today, today
Forgiveness and love
Cause in the end no one loses or wins
The story begins again and again
With forgiveness and love
Let's jump the sun
Let's jump the sun
Let's jump the sun
Forgiveness and love, love
Permanent December
I've been to London,
Been to Paris,
Australia and Rome
There's sexy boys in every city
But they're not what I want
Some got money some got fame
Some got cars and the clothes
But if it just ain't you
Then I don't wanna know
Cause baby now I realize that I was wrong
When I said I didn't need you, so
Miss you bad so now I'm comin' home
So you better leave the light on
Wait for me and just leave the light on
It's been like a permanent December
So much colder than I can remember
When I get you back
This time I swear that I won't
Won't ever let you go
Won't let you go, no
Won't let you go, go, go, go
Won't let you go, no
Go, go, go, go, no, no, no, no
I've been to New York
Been to L.A
And to Baton Rouge
I met a boy in every city
No one kept me amused
But don't call me a Lolita
Cause I don't let 'em through
Cause I'm saving all my lovin'
For someone and it's you
Cause baby now I realize that I was wrong
When I said I didn't need you, so
Miss you bad so now I'm comin' home
So you better leave the light on
Wait for me and just leave the light on
It's been like a permanent December
So much colder than I can remember
When I get you back
This time I swear that I won't
Won't ever let you go
Won't let you go, no
Won't let you go, go, go, go
Won't let you go, no
Go, go, go, go, no, no, no, no
Won't let you go, go, go, go

What do you say?
Cause I been all around the world
And they just ain't the same
Hey!

Without my baby I go crazy
And I just gotta scream, ha!
But now I realize that I was wrong
When I said I didn't need you, so
Miss you bad so now I'm comin' home
So you better leave the light on
Wait for me and just leave the light on

Stay
Well it's good to hear your voice
I hope your doing fine
And if you ever wonder
I'm lonely here tonight
Lost here in this moment and time keeps slipping by
And if I could have just one wish
I'd have you by my side
Oh, oh I miss you
Oh, oh I need you
And I love you more than I did before
And if today I don't see your face
Nothing's changed, no one can take your place
It gets harder everyday
Say you love me more than you did before
And I'm sorry it's this way
But I'm coming home, I'll be coming home
And if you ask me I will stay, I will stay
Well I try to live without you
The tears fall from my eyes
I'm alone and I feel empty
God I'm torn apart inside
I look up at the stars
Hoping your doing the same
Somehow I feel closer and I can hear you say
Oh, oh I miss you
Oh, oh I need you
I love you more than I did before
And if today I don't see your face
Nothing's changed, no one can take your place
It gets harder everyday
Say you love me more than you did before
And I'm sorry that it's this way
But I'm coming home, I'll be coming home
And if you ask me I will stay, I will stay
Always stay
I never wanna lose you
And if I had to I would chose you
So stay, please always stay
You're the one that I hold onto
Cause my heart would stop without you
I love you more than I did before
And if today I don't see your face
Nothing's changed no one can take your place
It gets harder everyday
Say you love me more than you did before
And I'm sorry that it's this way
But I'm coming home, I'll be coming home
And if you ask me I will stay, I will stay
I'll always stay
And love you more than I did before
And I'm sorry that it's this way
But I'm coming home I'll be coming home
And if you ask I will stay, I will stay
I will stay
Scars
I can pretend that I don't see you
I can pretend I don't wanna hold you when you're around
When you're around
I can say that nothing was right
But we know if I looked in your eyes I'd break down
Yeah lets break down
If I could have just one night
To be with you and make it right
And what we were and what we are
Is hidden within the scars
If I could take you there
I wont let go this I swear
You wont have to wonder what we are
Cause you wont have to ever look too far
It's in the scars
It's hidden in the scars
If I told you that I love you
But I'm doing alright without you it'd be a lie
But I could try
I'd run a thousand miles believe me
You're the only one I want to free me to break down
Yeah lets break down
If I could have just one night
To be with you and make it right
And what we were and what we are
Is hidden within the scars
If I could take you there
I wont let go this I swear
You wont have to wonder what we are
Cause you wont have to ever look too far
It's in the scars
Yeah I'll tell you all my secrets
All the ones I've kept inside
And I'll give you all the reasons
That you faded from my life
I won't let you go
Baby come here close
I won't let you walk away
If I could have just one night
To be with you and make it right
And what we were and what we are
Is hidden in scars
If I could take you there
I wont let go this I swear
You wont have to wonder what we are
Cause you wont have to ever look too far
It's in the scars
It's hidden in the scars
It's hidden in the scars
Yeah yeah yeah
I can pretend that I don't see you
And I can pretend I don't wanna hold you when your around
Take me long
The city of angels is lonely at night
Keep myself alive by candlelight
So she can love you like I do
Look me in the eyes and say it's true
I ask myself is this love at all
When I need you most you let me fall
I'm always here at the side of your stage
Let you live your life
Pretend I'm okay
I'll be okay
I'll hold you close you'll stay forever
I, I don't understand why you're leaving me
I, I don't understand how without you I can't breathe
Please don't, don't leave me here
Take my hand, I'm bleeding tears
I don't understand why you can't take me with you
You can pretend I don't exist,
But you will see my face every time you kiss
I hope you heard any walls fall down
When you hear the sound that I'm okay
I'll be okay
You can't hold me down, I will stay forever
I, I don't understand why you're leaving me
I, I don't understand how without you I can't breathe
Please don't, don't leave me here
Take my hand, I'm bleeding tears
I don't understand why you can't take me with you
I watched you leave
Walk away tonight
And I'm letting go for the last time
And through the tears I say goodbye
So breathe in, breathe in, breathe in, breathe out.
I, I don't understand why you're leaving me
I, I don't understand how without you I can't breathe
Please don't, don't leave me here
Take my hand, I'm bleeding tears
I don't understand why you can't take me with you
Don't understand why you're leaving me
How without you I can't breathe
Please don't, don't leave me here
Take my hand, I'm bleeding tears
I don't understand why you can't take me with you
Robot
It's been like this from the start
One piece after another to make my heart
You mistake the game for being smart
Stand here sell this and hit your mark
But the sound of the steel and the crush and the grind
It all screams who am I to decide my life
But in time it all dies there's nothing left inside
Just rusted metal that was never even mine
I would scream
But I'm just this hollow shell
Waiting here, begging please
Set me free so I can feel
Hey
Stop trying to live my life for me
I need to breathe
I'm not your robot
Stop telling me I'm part of the big machine
I'm breaking free
Can't you see
I can love, I can speak
Without somebody else operating me
You gave me eyes and now I see
I'm not your robot, I'm just me
All this time I've been mislead
There was nothing but crossed wires in my head,
I've been taught to think that what I feel doesn't matter at all
Til you say its real
I would scream
But I'm just this hollow shell
Waiting here, begging please
Set me free so I can feel
Hey
Stop trying to live my life for me
I need to breathe
I'm not your robot
Stop telling me I'm part of the big machine
I'm breaking free
Can't you see
I can love, I can speak
Without somebody else operating me
You gave me eyes and now I see
I'm not your robot, I'm just me
I'm not your robot, I'm just me
I'm not your robot
I would scream
But I'm just this hollow shell
Waiting here, begging please
Set me free so I can feel
Hey
Stop trying to live my life for me
I need to breathe
I'm not your robot
Stop telling me I'm part of the big machine
I'm breaking free
Can't you see
I can love, I can speak
Without somebody else operating me
You gave me eyes and now I see
I'm not your robot, I'm just me
I'm not your robot, I'm just me
I'm not your robot
My heart beats for love
I've been stranded on a lonely street
Got lost in the shadows
Fell hard in the battle
Heard cries and the suffering
Walked through the darkness
Left broken and heartless
I'm calling out, can you hear my voice?
I'm gonna find you through all the noise
You know there's nothing that I wouldn't do
So shine your light as I reach for you
My heart beats for love
My heart beats for love
It's the sound that I hear
Tells me not to give up
It breathes in my chest
And it runs through my blood
My heart beats for love
My heart beats for love
Whoa, oh oh oh yeah
I've been told at least a thousand times
It's not worth struggle
The hurt or the trouble
I keep running up to these front lines
No I won't surrender
I'll wait here forever
Standing here with my flag held high
Can't you see that it's worth the fight?
My heart beats for love
My heart beats for love
It's the sound that I hear
Tells me not to give up
It breathes in my chest
And it runs through my blood
My heart beats for love
My heart beats for love
Oh, whoa oh oh oh yeah
I march across this battlefield
I'm screaming out, can you hear me now?
I'm holding on, I stand my ground
I'm screaming out, can you hear me now?
My heart beats for love
My heart beats for love
It's the sound that I hear
Tells me not to give up
It breathes in my chest
And it runs through my blood
My heart beats for love
My heart beats for love
My heart beats for love
My heart beats for love
It's the sound that I hear
Tells me not to give up
It breathes in my chest
And it runs through my blood
My heart beats for love
My heart beats for love
Whoa, oh oh oh yeah, love
