All The Things You Said

holding on to nothing

tight as i can hold

i say to me

you will be free

if you could just let go

waiting here for something

to erase this sad regret

to take away

the hurt and pain

of all the things you said

(chorus)

all the things you said

were all the things i know

but in the end

it was the end

i never thought you'd go

all i ever wanted

was shattered, torn and dead

the moment i believed in

all the things you said

make believe is ending

reality is cold

i try to find

a place to hide

a refuge for my soul

i'm living in the moment

like a book i've never read

i turn the page

on every page

is all the things you said

(chorus)

all the things you said

were all the things i know

but in the end

it was the end

i never thought you'd go

all i ever wanted

was shattered, torn and dead

the moment i believed in

all the things you said

Away, Away

the storm is coming

away, away

the mountains warn us

away, away

the time is over

away, away

it's time for running

away, away

the stars are falling

away, away

no excuses

away, away

the ocean’s boiling

away, away

it's time for ending

away, away

I Know It Doesn't Matter

guess i'm feelin' older now

i done run outta things that i can do

that won't get me criticized

act your age unlike the way you do

i could be like all the rest

i could go

but i don't know the way

i'd be confessin' everything

but since i quit drinkin'

the words all run away

 

and i know it doesn't matter

to anyone or anything but me

that's all you're gonna get tonight

so you and i would best just let it be

 

once upon a time i knew

too little 'bout the world to give a damn

could be that was my mistake

made when i was lost in neverland

i could write a boring book

no one else

but me would ever read

i could tell it like it was

i start to thinkin'

it's not the way it seemed

 

and i know it doesn't matter

to anyone or anything but me

that's all your gonna get tonight

so you and i would best just let it be

 

sing a song of sad regret

sing it time and time again

and that's all you'll ever sing

turn it off and turn it on

day or night it's never gone

there just ain't no relief

 

and i know it doesn't matter

to anyone or anything but me

that's all your gonna get tonight

so you and i would best just let it be

THAT'S SO BEAUTIFUL

 

walkin' through a garden

runnin' in the park

chowin' on too much food

then dancing in the dark

how could it get better

when i've already seen the best

when i look at you

forget about the rest

 

(chorus)

that's so beautiful

(when i'm with you)

that's so wonderful

(don't need a thing)

when you call my name

like you do

like you do

(repeat)

 

makin' fun out of nothin'

just bein' where you are

stayin' out way too late

just cruisin' in my car

you make me feel so lucky

like the world unfolds for me

when i look at you

that's what i wanna see
