It’s alright
It’s okay
You made the best decision
You could’ve made at the time

It’s alright
It’s okay
You can forgive yourself now
And move on from here it’s alright

Why do you have to be alone in your pain?
Why do you feel you have so much to hide?
Why do you long to hear somebody say
It’s alright, it’s okay, you’ll be fine?
We all need somebody sometimes

There's no reason you can't let it go
Free yourself from this cage you've put yourself in
Think of all the things going for you
Work the problem and push right through
And when you need to lean on somebody sometimes

It’s alright
It’s okay

Why do you have to be alone in your pain?
Why do you feel you have so much to hide?
It’s alright (We all need somebody sometimes)
It’s okay (We all need somebody sometimes)
It’s alright (We all need somebody sometimes)
It’s okay (We all need somebody sometimes)

Somebody sometimes
Somebody sometimes
Somebody sometimes
Somebody sometimes

We move forward we step back
Get pulled apart for what we lack
Find shadows in the rain
Cling to rifts we can’t explain
Every conversation
Doesn’t have to end that way
Every single gesture
Doesn’t have to carry weight

If there’s a way back to you
Wherever you are
In whatever you do
I hope these words will find you
Wherever you are
In whatever you do
If there’s a way

We take a laugh and make it weep
‘Til there’s no joy left to keep
Use the truth to make us blind
Until our hearts get misaligned
Every misconception
Doesn’t have to stay that way
Every single tear drop
Doesn’t have to betray

If there’s a way back to you
Wherever you are
In whatever you do
I hope these words will find you
Wherever you are
In whatever you do
If there’s a way
If there’s a way

Any place I go
Any way I can
Try to forget sorrows
Try to forgive the past
If there’s a way
And I hope there is
If there’s a way

If there’s a way back to you
Wherever you are
In whatever you do
I hope these words will find you
Wherever you are
In whatever you do

If there’s a way back to you
Wherever you are
In whatever you do
I hope these words will find you
Wherever you are
In whatever you do

If there’s a way

Never give it my all
Causes me to stall
Can’t move ahead

Hold back my love
Keep thinking it’s wrong
Always use my head

There’s no place in this world for a man who hides from himself
That’s why I said to you
This time I’ll give my heart instead

Pushing along
Listening to the songs
Inside my head

That’s where I’d stay
If I’d never found a way
To move ahead

I can say the reason’s simple
I can say it in a way that hasn’t been said
This time it will be different
This time I’ll give my heart instead

Used to give excuses any reason to absolve myself
And blame someone else
The truth is I never let you see me
They say that nothing worth having comes without a fight
Yeah, that’s pretty much right
But there’s also nothing worth having if it first does not come from your heart .... now I see

Fumbling along
Mostly getting it wrong
Stuck inside my head

Procrastinate love
Thinking it’ll come along
Unsaid

There’s nothing in this world I would rather give you instead
And I can say the reason’s simple
And I can say it in good conscience
This time it will be different
This time I’ll give my heart instead

I will give my heart instead
I will give my heart instead
I will give my heart instead
I will give my heart instead
I will give my heart instead

As I feel the days turn colder
And I watch the sun settle down
All the trees seem to look older
And the rain keeps falling down
I’m reminded of the time that I met you on that October day
Long before we moved through the seasons that would later come to betray

I was really living in the moment
I was leaving it to hope and faith
It seemed to me that there was something pulling
Us together in a fateful way

But now it’s one more fall without you
Fall without you again
These gloomy days just fuel the sorrow
And the tears I can’t contain
It’s one more fall without you
Fall without you..... Fall without you.... again

Just like the leaves that turn colour
And make their way to the ground
Whatever happened to our love
That couldn’t be turned around
As I make my way to the corner to that place we used to meet
I’m out of the picture now, I feel so incomplete

I was really living in the moment
I was leaving it to hope and faith
It seemed to me that there was something pulling
Us together in a fateful way

But now it’s one more fall without you
Fall without you again
These gloomy days just fuel the sorrow
And the tears I can’t contain
It’s one more fall without you
Fall without you..... Fall without you.... again
Fall without you again
Fall without you again

As I feel the days turn colder
And the trees seem so much older
Just like the leaves that turn colour
I’m left wondering what happened to our love

As I feel the days turn colder (Fall without you again)
All the trees seem to look older (Fall without you again)
Just like the leaves that turn colour (Fall without you again)
I’m left wondering what happened to your love (Fall without you again)

And I fall without you…. Fall without you…..Again

And when I think of times that we have spent
Those precious moments that slipped on past
It saddens me to know that I did not recognize them as such at the time

But I find comfort in this thought
There are things only you and I know
From the smallest glance to the major fights
Those times were ours and ours alone
Good and bad I loved them both

When I reach my final days
When bitterness has lost its place
I'll think of you and our brief time
My heart will overflow
Because you shared your life with mine
When I look back
When I look back

Those times were ours and ours alone
Good and bad I loved them both

When you reach your final days
When tears have turned to hope and faith
I hope that you will think of me
And put aside mistakes I made
And see me how I meant to be

When you look back
When you look back
When you look back
When you look back
When you look back

Forget the stories I told you
Forget the lies
Forget the disagreements
And the petty fights
Try to see it like it’s meant to be
Try to make a new reality
Try to sell your story to the world
Try to take the best of what’s been told

Close the distance
There’s an open window to your heart
Outrun tomorrow and take your pictures out of their frames

What’s the breaking point in life?
Why stay together if it’s a no-win compromise?
Shed our skins and raise the lights
We can start over again…
Start over again

Forget the songs that remind you of past lives
Forget about this lowly broken paradise
Try to look beyond yourself
Try to see a different light
Try to save the truth for now
Try to forget wrong from right

Close the distance there’s an open window to your heart
Outrun tomorrow and take your pictures out of their frames
What’s the breaking point in life?
Why stay together if it’s a no-win compromise?
Shed our skins and raise the lights
We can start over again…we can start over again
Start over again…

Now you know what I am talking about
You’re taking pictures so you don’t have to remember the scenery
And I know that you and I could make a brand new start
Or we could just start over again, we could just start over again

What’s the breaking point in life?
Why stay together if it’s a no-win compromise?
Shed our skins and raise the lights (Shed our skins and raise the lights)
We can start over again… Start over again…

What’s the breaking point in life?
Why stay together if it’s a no-win compromise?
Shed our skins and raise the light (Shed our skins and raise the lights)
We can start over again…

Start over again…Start over again…

I’ve made a few, mistakes that is
I came through, somewhat unscathed
Told some lies but believed they were true
Fell apart, became unglued

Felt the night fall early in the morning of my life
Seen the headlights stream into the night

Believe me, I know
Believe me, I care
Believe me, I never meant to put you out there
Believe me, I know
Believe me, I’m aware
Believe me, I’d be nothing if you weren’t there
Believe me, I know
Believe me, I know

I fell through, the plans we made
What seemed so real, began to fade
Broke your heart, while I tried to make it strong
Missed the chance to right the wrongs

Felt the weight of the winter on a bright summer's day
Watched as our dreams were ripped away

Believe me, I know
Believe me, I care
Believe me, I never meant to put you out there
Believe me, I know
Believe me, I’m aware
Believe me, I’d be nothing if you weren’t there
Believe me, I know

Take it all off, take it all away (Believe me, I know)
Be with me, abandon the pain (Believe me, I know)
Throw your arms around me like you always do (Believe me, I know)
Keep your sights on our desire to work this thing through (Believe me, I know)

I believe, I believe, I want to believe
In the love that you bring to me (Believe me, I know)
I believe, I believe, I want to believe
In the love that I can bring to you (Believe me, I know)
I believe, I believe, I want to believe
In the love that you bring to me (Believe me, I know)

Believe me, I know… Believe me, I care….Believe me, I never meant to put you out there

Believe me, I know…

You buildin’ me up
Then you cuttin’ me back down
My eyes are wide open
But there’s nobody around

So why ask the questions
When you know the reasons why?
If the days are just numbers
Then why even try?

All I need is for somebody here
To lead me on
Because the sun ain’t shining here
Ain’t shone for years

You want me to love you
But your heart’s full of hate
The wetness of dreaming
Turns cold as I wake

When my heart is on fire
The ashes fall to the ground
You wanted to free me
But you’re keeping me bound

All I need is for somebody here
To feel the light
Because the sun ain’t shining here
Ain’t shone for years

All I need is for somebody here
To lead me on
Because the sun ain’t shining here
Ain’t shone for years

I feel so selfish ‘bout my worrying state
If I could hear you I would not let you stay

All I need is for somebody here
To feel the light
Because the sun ain’t shining here
Ain’t shone for years

All I need is for somebody here
To lead me on
Because the sun ain’t shining here
Ain’t shone for years

Because the sun ain’t shining here
Ain’t shone for years

From my doorstep
I can tell you’re all alone
Though you’re surrounded by your friends

When I see you through my eyes
I can tell you are upset
Though with your smile you try to hide

I break your fall and
Rescue your soul, honey
I am the pillars of your heart

If it weren’t for you
I’d have waited too long
So I ain’t gonna cry
For the love of you
I’d have never been strong
So I ain’t gonna cry
And I closed my eyes ‘cause I never belonged
But I ain’t gonna cry, no I ain’t gonna cry

Still search
For eternal life and meaning
With no thought or plan with what I’d do with the extra time

When I’m washed up
Washed up and so confused
With no way of knowing which direction I should turn

You break my fall and
Rescue my soul, honey
You are the pillars of my heart

If it weren’t for you
I’d have waited too long
So I ain’t gonna cry
For the love of you
I’d have never been strong
So I ain’t gonna cry
And I closed my eyes ‘cause I never belonged
But I ain’t gonna cry, no I ain’t gonna cry, no I ain’t gonna cry

I know, there is nothing in between
You were always what I saw

Still shine like a tear in the sun
I have waited much too long

If it weren’t for you
I’d have waited too long
But I ain’t gonna cry
For the love of you
I’d have never been strong
But I ain’t gonna cry
And I closed my eyes cause I never belonged
But I ain’t gonna cry, No I ain’t gonna cry, No I ain’t gonna cry
