Cryin' on the corner
Waitin' in the rain
I swear I'll never ever wait again
You gave me a word
But words for you are lies
Darlin' in my wildest dreams
I never thought I'd go
But its time to let you know
Chorus:
I'm gonna harden my heart
I'm gonna swallow my tears
I'm gonna turn and leave you here.....
All of my life
I've been waitin' in the rain
I've been waitin' for a feelin' that never ever came
It feels so close
But always disappears
Darlin' in your wildest dreams
You never had a clue
But its time you got the news
Chorus
Guitar solo
Darlin' in my wildest dreams
I never thought I'd go
But its time to let you know
Chorus
I'm gonna harden my heart
I'm gonna swallow my tears
I'm gonna harden my heart
I'm gonna swallow my tears
Harden my heart
I'm gonna swallow my tears
Oh oh oh oh
Harden my heart
I'm gonna harden my heart
I'm gonna swallow my tears
you told me you were drowning
I would not lend a hand
I've seen your face before my friend
But I don't know if you know who I am
Well, I was there and I saw what you did
I saw it with my own two eyes
So you can wipe off that grin, I know where you've been
It's all been a pack of lies
And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord, oh Lord
And I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord, oh Lord
Well I remember, I remember don't worry
How could I ever forget
It's the first time, the last time we ever met
But I know the reason why you keep your silence up
No, you don't fool me
The hurt doesn't show, but the pain still grows
It's no stranger to you or me
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
Well, I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord
I can feel it in the air tonight, oh Lord
Well, I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord, oh Lord
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
Well, I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord, oh Lord
I can feel it in the air tonight, oh Lord
Well, I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord, oh Lord
I can fell it in the air tonight, oh Lord
Hot summer streets
And the pavements are burning
I sit around
Too hot to handle, baby
Trying to smile
But the air is so heavy and dry
Strange voices are saying
What did they say
Things I can't understand
It's too close for comfort
This heat has got right out of hand
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Now you're gone
The city is crowded
My friends are away
And I'm on my own
It's too hot to handle
So I got to get up and go
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel,
It's a cruel cruel summer
Now you're gone
You're not the only one
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Leaving me
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel,
It's a cruel cruel summer
Now you're gone
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Now you're gone
You're not the only one
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Leaving me
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel,
It's a cruel cruel summer
Now you're gone
You're not the only one
You don't own me
I'm not just one of your many toys
You don't own me
don't say I can't go with other boys
bababababababaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
AND DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO
AND DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO SAY
AND WHEN I GO OUT WITH YOU

I don't tell you what to say

The flowers you gave me
Are just about to die
When I think about what could've been
Makes me want to cry
The sweet words that you whispered
Didn't mean a thing
I guess our song is over
As we began to sing
Could've been so beautiful
Could've been so right
Could've been my lover
Everyday day of my life
Could've been so beautiful
Could've been so right
I'll never know what could've been
On a cold and lonley night
The memories of our lovin'
Still linger in the air
Like the faded scent of your roses
Stay with me everywhere
Everytime I get my hopes up
They always seem to fall
Still what could've been
Is better than what could never be at all
Could've been so beautiful
Could've been so right
Could've been my lover
Everyday day of my life
Could've been so beautiful
Could've been so right
I'll never hold what could've been
On a cold and lonley night
Could've been so beautiful
Could've been so right
You'You with the sad eyes
Don't be discouraged
Oh I realise
It's hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
And the darkness inside you
Can make you feel so small
But I see your true colors
Shinin' through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow.
Show me a smile then,
Don't be unhappy, can't remember
When I last saw you laughing
If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
You can call me up
Because you know I'll be there
And I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow
If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I'll be there
And I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors, true colors
True colors are shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow
Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now I'm only falling apart
There's nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart
Once upon a time there was light in my life
But now there's only love in the dark
Nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart
Close your eyes and just let go,
And find the beauty outside of your front door,
You've been lost in the dark,
Inside your apartment with a broken heart,
Because it hurt too much to let go...
And you have lost all your self-control,
You wake up miserable,
A broken heart in a box you're buried away,
Six feet under to get rid of all this pain...
Because it hurt too much to let go,
of the life you always have known,
You've been lost in yourself,
Your imagination is a crippling hell,
To have loved is to let go...
And you have lost all your self-control,
You wake up miserable,
A broken heart in a box you're buried away,
Six feet under to get rid of all this pain...
You have lost all your self-control,
You wake up miserable,
A broken heart in a box you're buried away,
Six feet under to get rid of all this pain...
You said you'd never change,
And you can't seem to bring us back to the place of
where we first started from,
And you swore that you'd never leave and forever be
mine and that you'd die beside me,
So where are those forgotten promises now?
You have lost all your self-control,
You wake up miserable,
A broken heart in a box you're buried away,
Six feet under to get rid of all this pain...
You have lost all your self-control,
You wake up miserable,
A broken heart in a box you're buried away,
Six feet under to get rid of all this pain...
My light is my hope that won't stop burning,
For a love that is more than just a passing thing,
How long?
How much more?
How long?
How long will this take?
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
And I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord
Can you feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord, oh Lord
Well, ifll never know what could've been
On a cold and lonley night
How can you know what could've been
On a cold and lonley night
Unravel me
a distant cord
on the outside is forgotten
a constant need
To get along
and the animal awakens
and all I feel is black and white
The road is long
the memory slides
to the whole of my undoing
put aside
I put away
I push it back to get through each day
and all I feel is black and white
and I'm wound up small and tight
and I don't know who I am
Everybody loves you when you're easy
everybody hates when you're a bore
everyone is waiting for your entrance so
don't disappoint them
Unravel me
untie this chord
the very center of our union
is caving in
I can't endure
I am the archive of our failure
And all I feel is black and white
and I'm wound up small and tight
and I don't know who I am
Everybody loves you when you're easy
everybody hates when you're a bore
everyone is waiting for your entrance so
don't disappoint them
Everybody loves you when you're easy so
don't disappoint them
Don't disappoint them...
Bound at every limb by my shackles of fear
Sealed with lies through so many tears
Lost from within, pursuing the end
I fight for the chance to be lied to again
You will never be strong enough
You will never be good enough
You were never conceived in love
You will not rise above
They'll never see
I'll never be
I've struggled on and on to feed this hunger
Burning deep inside of me
But through my tears breaks a blinding light
Birthing a dawn to this endless night
Arms outstretched, awaiting me
An open embrace upon a bleeding tree
Rest in me and I'll comfort you
I have lived and I died for you
Abide in me and I vow to you
I will never forsake you
They'll never see
I'll never be
I've struggled on and on to feed this hunger
Burning deep inside of me
They'll never see
I'll never be
I've struggled on and on to feed this hunger
Burning deep inside of me
Rest in me and I'll comfort you
I have lived and I died for you
Abide in me and I vow to you
I will never forsake you
They'll never see
I'll never be
I've struggled on and on to feed this hunger
Burning deep inside of me
Of all the things I believed in
I just wanna get it over with
Tears form behind my eyes
But I do not cry
Counting the days that pass me by
I've been searching deep down in my soul
Words that I'm hearing are starting to get old
Feels like I'm starting all over again
The last three years were just pretend
And I said
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
I still get lost in your eyes
And it seems that I can't live a day without you
Closing my eyes
And you chase my thoughts away
To a place where I am blinded by the light
But it's not right
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
And it hurts to want everything and nothing at the same time
I want what's yours and I want what's mine
I want you
But I'm not giving in this time
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
and when the stars fall i will lie awake
your my shooting star
