Doesn't come down when she calls,
"It's time for breakfast."
Momma can't get down those halls
Fast enough to see
Glass is sprayed across the floor
From the broken window.
She can't breathe anymore.
Can't deny what we know.

They're gonna find you, just believe.
You're not a person; you're a disease.

All these lives that you've been taking,
Deep inside, my heart is breaking.
Broken homes from separation.
Don't you know it's violation?
It's so wrong, but you'll see.
Never gonna let you take my world from me.
The world outside these walls may know you're breathing,
But you ain't comin' in.
You ain't comin' in.

Posters hung on building walls
Of missing faces.
Months go by without the cause,
The clues, or traces.

They're gonna find you, just believe.
You're not a person; you're a disease.

All these lives that you've been taking,
Deep inside, my heart is breaking.
Broken homes from separation.
Don't you know it's violation?
It's so wrong, but you'll see.
Never gonna let you take my world from me.
The world outside these walls may know you're breathing,
But you ain't comin' in.

Shed the light on all the ones who never thought they would become
A father, mother asking why this world can be so cold.

Doesn't come down when she calls,
"It's time for breakfast."
The memories begin to fall.
She asks, "When will I be free?"

All these lives that you've been taking,
Deep inside, my heart is breaking.
Broken homes from separation.
Don't you know it's violation?
It's so wrong, but you'll see.
Never gonna let you take my world from me.
The world outside these walls may know you're breathing,
But you ain't comin' in.

All these lives that you've been taking,
Deep inside, my heart is breaking.
All these lives that you've been taking,
Deep inside, my heart is breaking.
All these lives that you've been taking,
Deep inside, my heart is breaking.
The world outside these walls may know you're breathing,
The world outside these walls may know you're breathing,
But you ain't comin' in

You, you got me
Thinking it'll be alright.
You, you told me,
"Come and take a look inside."
You believed me,
In every single lie.
But I, I failed you this time.

And it feels like tonight.
I can't believe I'm broken inside.
Can't you see that there's nothing that I wanna do,
But try to make it up to you?
And it feels like tonight,
Tonight.

I was waiting
For the day you'd come around.
I was chasing,
But nothing was all I found.
From the moment you came into my life,
You showed me what's right.

And it feels like tonight.
I can't believe I'm broken inside.
Can't you see that there's nothing that I wanna do,
But try to make it up to you?
And it feels like tonight.

I never felt like this before.
Just when I leave, I'm back for more.
Nothing else here seems to matter.
In these ever-changing days,
You're the one thing that remains.
I could stay like this forever.

And it feels like tonight.
I can't believe I'm broken inside.
Can't you see that there's nothing that I wanna do,
But try to make it up to you?
And it feels like tonight.
Tonight.
Tonight.
'Cause there's nothing that I wanna do,
But try to make it up to you.
And it feels like tonight.
Tonight.

In their eyes is the place that you finally discovered
That you love it here, you've got to stay
On the bottom of the rock, an island
On which you find you love it when you twitch
You feel that itch in you pettycoat
Your pretty pretty pettycoat

Then you smiled, he got wild
You didn't understand that there's money to be made
Beauty is a card that must get played
By organisation

And ooh la, she was such a good girl to me
And ooh la, the world just chewed her up, and spat her out
And ooh la, she was such a good girl to me
And ooh la, the world just chewed her up, and spat her out

The world can be a very big place
So be yourself don't get out of place
Love your man and love him twice
Go to Hollywood and pay the price
Oh go to Hollywood

And don't be a star, it's such a drag
Take care of yourself, don't begin to lag
It's a hard life to live, so live it well
I'll be your friend and not in pretend
I know you girl
In all situations

And ooh la, she was such a good girl to me
And ooh la, the world just chewed her up, and spat her out
And ooh la, she was such a good girl to me
And ooh la, the world just chewed her up, and spat her out

You feel that itch in you pettycoat
Your pretty pretty pettycoat
In all situations

And ooh la, she was such a good girl to me
And ooh la, the world just chewed her up, and spat her out
And ooh la, she was such a good girl to me
And ooh la, the world just chewed her up, and spat her out

Now that it's all said and done,
I can't believe you were the one
To build me up and tear me down,
Like an old abandoned house.
What you said when you left
Just left me cold and out of breath.
I fell too far, was in way too deep.
Guess I let you get the best of me.

Well, I never saw it coming.
I should've started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I'd doubt you,
I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know.
I'm slowly getting closure.
I guess it's really over.
I'm finally getting better.
And now I'm picking up the pieces.
I'm spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together.
'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through,
I got over you.

You took a hammer to these walls,
Dragged the memories down the hall,
Packed your bags and walked away.
There was nothing I could say.
And when you slammed the front door shut,
A lot of others opened up,
So did my eyes so I could see
That you never were the best for me.

Well, I never saw it coming.
I should've started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I'd doubt you,
I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know.
I'm slowly getting closure.
I guess it's really over.
I'm finally getting better.
And now I'm picking up the pieces.
I'm spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together.
'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through,
I got over you.

Well, I never saw it coming.
I should've started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I'd doubt you,
I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know.

Well, I never saw it coming.
I should've started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I'd doubt you,
I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know.
I'm slowly getting closure.
I guess it's really over.
I'm finally getting better.
And now I'm picking up the pieces.
I'm spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together.
Well I'm putting my heart back together,
'Cause I got over you.
Well I got over you.
I got over you.
'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through,
I got over you.

Life.

Jag försöker finna ett sätt att hylla dig, din person, ditt allra innersta väsen.

Ett sätt att försonas med ditt val.
Allt som oftast är det becksvart, men då och då faller det in en strimma ljus. Är det du?
Ibland känns det som om du har tagit ifrån mig rätten att fortsätta, överleva, tom mina ord.
Som om du tränger djupt in i mitt allra innersta.
Jag måste inte bara försonas med tanken på att du är borta, utan även med att det är för sent. Jag kommer aldrig någonsin få en enda dag till med dig. Gud ska veta att jag saknar dig, och att jag är arg.
Jag måste även finna ett sätt att förstå hur jag ska bearbeta sorgen samtidigt som mitt hjärta fylls av vrede och min själ blir svart av all skuld jag tungt bär på.
Någonstans i allt detta försöker jag förtvivlat klamra mig fast vid det som var du.
Det fina jag minns.
Det du nu har fläckat svart. Jag suddar och suddar, men det blir bara grumligare.
Var finns du någonstans?
Var finns du nu när jag behöver dig som mest?
Vi slösade bort så mycket tid i livet, vi trodde alltid vi hade mer.
Jag var förbittrad över hur din sjukdom gick ut över mig,
Och hela mitt liv har jag trott att jag aldrig kan förlåta.
Men jag ser nu hur mycket av dig som lever vidare i alla oss andra,
Och jag hoppas, ber och tror, att du får lägga all oro, ångest och smärta långt bakom dig.
Här står jag, och hyllar dig för det största någon någonsin kan ge av sig själv;
Livet.
Du gav mig livet, och för det är jag dig evigt tacksam, även om jag skulle vilja dela det med dig, här vid min sida.
Tillsammans, så som det borde vara.
Jag är livrädd för att möta världen utan dig. Men osynligt håller du min hand, hårt i din, leder mig igenom livets svåra val. Livets alla val. Glöm inte att torka mina tårar emellanåt.
Vi ses igen, jag älskar dig.

Black Rose, where are you now?
White skin
As cold as the snow we walked in
Your lips like midnight
That night we walked
For hours and I remember
But maybe I'm the only one
Who still remembers

You slipped away
But why would you come back to say
You've already moved on?

You slipped away
But I've come back to say
You're not really gone

You're not really gone

My Black Rose, where are you now?
And yes I've seen your black rose petal fall
Fall down to the ground like glass
Shatters and turn it into ashes
But I've seen your color and it's like a blood drop

And maybe I'm the only one who still remembers

You slipped away
But why would you come back to say
You've already moved on?

You slipped away
But I've come back to say
That you're not really gone

You're not really gone

So try to disappear
But the mind doesn't slip that easy
You can try to disappear
But my dear
You're still standing here

You're still standing here

You slipped away
But why would you come back to say
You've already moved on?

You slipped away
But I've come back to say
That you're not really gone

You're not really gone

Some people laugh,
And some people cry,
And some people live,
And some people die,
And some people run,
Right into the fire,
And some people hide,
Their every desire

But we are the lovers,
If you don't believe me,
Then just look into my eyes,
Cause the heart never lies

And some people fight,
And some people fall,
Others pretend,
They don't care at all,
If you wanna fight,
I'll stand right beside you,
The day that you fall,
I'll be right behind you,
To pick up the pieces,
If you don't believe me,
Then just look into my eyes,
Cause the heart never lies

Another year over,
And we're still together,
It's not always easy,
But I'm here forever,

Yeah, we are the lovers,
I know you believe me,
When you look into my eyes,
Cause the heart never lies,
Cause the heart never lies, yeah,
Cause the heart never lies

I couldn't tell you why she felt that way,
She felt it everyday.
And I couldn't help her,
I just watched her make the same mistakes again.

What's wrong, what's wrong now?
Too many, too many problems.
Don't know where she belongs, where she belongs.
She wants to go home, but nobody's home.
It's where she lies, broken inside.
With no place to go, no place to go to dry her eyes.
Broken inside.

Open your eyes and look outside, find the reasons why.
You've been rejected, and now you can't find what you left behind.
Be strong, be strong now.
Too many, too many problems.
Don't know where she belongs, where she belongs.
She wants to go home, but nobody's home.
It's where she lies, broken inside.
With no place to go, no place to go to dry her eyes.
Broken inside.

Her feelings she hides.
Her dreams she can't find.
She's losing her mind.
She's fallen behind.
She can't find her place.
She's losing her faith.
She's fallen from grace.
She's all over the place.

She wants to go home, but nobody's home.
It's where she lies, broken inside.
With no place to go, no place to go to dry her eyes.
Broken inside.

She's lost inside, lost inside.
She's lost inside, lost inside.

Slipping down a slide
I did enjoy the ride
Don't know what to decide
You lied to me
You looked me in the eye
It took me by surprise
Now are you gratified
You cried to me

Don't turn around
I'm sick and I'm tired of you face
Don't make this worse
You've already gone and got me mad
It's too bad I'm not sad
It's casting over
It's just one of those things
You'll have to get over it

When I was feeling down
You'd start to hang around
And then I found your hands all over me
And that was out of bounds
You filthy rotten hound
It's badder than it sounds, believe me

Hey, you gotta get over it
Hey, you gotta get over it

It's too bad I'm not sad
It's casting over
It's just one of those things
You'll have to get over it

Don't turn around
I'm sick and I'm tired of you face
Don't make this worse
You've already gone and got me mad

You'll have to get over it

I cannot find a way to describe it
It's there inside
All I do is hide
I wish that it would just go away
What would you do
You do if you knew
What would you do?

All the pain
I thought I knew
All the thoughts lead back to you
Back to what
Was never said
Back and forth
Inside my head
I can't handle this confusion
I'm unable come and take me away

I feel like I'm all alone
All by myself I need to get around this
My words are cold
I don't want them to hurt you
If I show you
I don't think you'd understand
'Cause no one understands

All the pain
I thought I knew
All the thoughts lead back to you
Back to what
Was never said
Back and forth
Inside my head
I can't handle this confusion
I'm unable come and take me away

I'm going nowhere on and on and
I'm getting nowhere on and on and on
Take me away
I'm going nowhere on and on and off and on and off and on

All the pain
I thought I knew
All the thoughts lead back to you
Back to what
Was never said
Back and forth
Inside my head
I can't handle this confusion
I'm unable come and take me away

Take me away

The Forgotten Man

Could I ever change your mind
Without a heartache
Waiting 'til our star's in line
Is killing me slow
I'm wandering at the great design
The fate undecided
Hoping it would favour mine
a story untold

Lonely temptress and forgotten man
Weight on the world and upon your hand
Simple slaves of the masterplan
For a comfort in what you know

Could I ever change your mind
Without a heartache
Waiting 'til our star's in line
Is killing me slow
I'm wandering at the great design
The fate undecided
Hoping it would favour mine
a story untold

You turn the page
Writing the words as you read
You set it straight
Taking my hand as you leave

No shelter
We make our own
Without you
It's not a home

Could I ever change your mind
Without a heartache
Waiting 'til our star's in line
Is killing me slow
I'm wandering at the great design
The fate undecided
Hoping it would favour mine
a story untold

Fall

I feel a sickness
I feel it breaking me
You see my weakness
But will you save me
Shadows grows larger
As ! approach the ground
It hits me harder
But I don't hear a sound

Will you catch me if I ever fall
If I fall down
Keep me up and put my feet
Back on the ground

I'm moving so fast
But time is standing still
The moment holds me
Releases me out when
The colors blood past
The wind is rushing by
You feel the impact
When it's your time to fall

Will you catch me if I ever fall
If I fall down
Keep me up and put my feet
Back on the ground
Catch me if I ever fall
If I fall down Keep me up and put my feet

If I'd be falling, cascading and tumbling doown
Will you break my fall
If I'd be falling, cascading and tumblingdown
Will you break my fall

Catch me if I ever fall
If I fall down
Keep me up and put my feet
Back on the ground

I feel a sickness

Catch me if I ever fall
If I fall down
Keep me up and put my feet
Back on the ground

Back on the ground.

I'd move to Rockferry, to my road
and I'd build my house baby, with sorrow
I'll leave my shadow, to fall behind
And I woulden't write to you, Coz I'm not that kind.

The midnight trains are boarding, all at the ends
I put my lord and I filled my trunk before it's too late
I leave the stars to judge, while we moved
I'm not going to think of you or I'll get the blues.

There's no sleep on the journey, away from town
A bag of songs and a heavy heart, won't make me doubt
I give it all my strength and my mind
I'll make this decision, win all the fights

I'll move to Rockferry, to my road
And I'll build my house baby, with sorrow
I'll leave my shaddow, to fall behind
And I won't write to you, coz I'm not that kind.

Not that kind
Rockferry

Not that kind
Rockferry
