KEEP COMING BACK

 

You know just how to hurt me

And how to take all the pain away

Girl, you must be the devil in disguise

There were times, I think you knew

When I was so afraid of you

There's some kind of madness in your eyes

You know a place buried deep in my heart

Nobody else can see

Something in you has taken some kind of hold on me

Chorus

I don't know why I keep coming back to you, baby

I don't know why I keep coming back to you

To you baby

You say we shouldn't be lovers

And I say we can't just be friends

And all this talking just makes me want you more

You've got a way of confusing a heart

That nobody else could do

Why should I try, I don't want to get over you

Repeat Chorus

I'm so in love, so in love with the games that you play

So in love, and nothing can keep me away

You've got a way of confusing a heart

That nobody else could do

Why should I try, I don't want to get over you

I don't know why I keep coming back to you

Just tell me why I keep coming back to you

 

 

CHAINS AROUND MY HEART

 

Out of my sight / But the vision is still the same

Out of my mind / But the memory remains unchanged

Stones thrown in anger hold twice the hurt

Return to sender could only make things worse

Girl, you've got to break these chains around my heart

Cause I've been lonely too long

You've got to break these chains around my heart

So I can finally get on with my life

Don't ask me why / Why I've lived with this all alone

Locked up inside / And it's cutting me to the bone

Love is a stranger avoiding me

Beware of danger's the only sign I see

Girl, you've got to break these chains around my heart

Cause I've been lonely too long

You've got to break these chains around my heart

So I can finally get on with my life

Are you listening / Is there something that you'd like to say

Am I getting through / Are you just gonna leave me this way

Girl, you've got to break these chains around my heart

Before it tears me in two

You've got to break these chains around my heart

That's all I'm asking of you

You've got to break these chains around my heart

Cause I've been lonely too long

You've got to break these chains around my heart

So I can finally get on with my life

 

 

BIG BOY NOW

 

I've been searching / Not the first or the last

Trying to figure out the mystery of the half empty glass

Time is turning for the rest of the world

While a temporary leap of faith helps the story unfurl

They say that hearts don't stay broken

Even though the scars remain

And eyes don't stay swollen

Even if it feels that way

Chorus

But it's not that serious / I'm a big boy now

And I'm not delirious / So don't show me how

Cause I've gotten beyond the agony

And my perspective is saving me

Never doubted what the cards would reveal

And if the joker showed his ugly face

Not that big of a deal

It's just a moment in the scheme of it all

But it's difficult to visualize when the axe starts to fall

But then a heart won't stay broken

Even on its darkest day

The right door could open

Pick you up and drift away

(Repeat Chorus)

With all the confusion

How does anybody come through

But life is illusion

And no one can tell you what you've gotta do

You know a heart won't stay broken

Even on its darkest day

The right door could open

Pick you up and drift away

(Repeat Chorus)

 

 

CALLING YOU

 

I had a dream that you stood right in front of me

And called to me in black and white

Though I could see you / I couldn't reach you

You faded into the light

And when the sun turns a dream to reality

I'm left with such an empty space

I feel your spirit / Know that I'm near it

I swear I can see your face

Hear me calling you / Calling you

But you just don't seem to answer anymore

Am I supposed to pretend I don't feel the pain

Like it happened only yesterday

No use in trying / To stop the crying

I can't make it go away

Hear me calling you / Calling you

But you just don't seem to answer anymore

I'm calling you / Calling you

And I'm afraid you won't answer anymore

Where is the healing you promised me

Maybe this feeling will burn in me forever

Hear me calling you / Calling you

But you just don't seem to answer anymore

I'm calling you / Calling you

And I'm afraid you won't answer anymore

Calling you and I'm afraid that you won't answer anymore

 

 

YOUR WORLD

 

The warmest day of all my life

You came to me, I held you in my hands

And something changed forever

I want you for a better time

To know the beauty of our Mother Earth

Cherish her forever

Never felt in such a hurry

So little time, so much to do

I lie awake and dream the dreams I'll share with you

This is your world now

No one can chase all your fears away

This is your world now

Trust in your heart to lead the way

I still recall a day so clear

I saw the future in my mother's eyes

Filled with tears of sorrow

The years roll by, the times do change

The truth around us harder to disguise

As we face tomorrow

So many promises were made me

So little hope remains alive

I only pray the dreams I leave you will survive

This is your world now

No one can chase all your fears away

Fight for your world now

Trust in your heart to find the way

You'll see what I'm saying / When you're on your own

The war that you're facing / Isn't yours alone

I am a man in search of reasons

Though I am still as much to blame

It's up to me to leave you more than just my name

This is your world now

No one can chase all your fears away

Fight for your world now

Trust in your heart to lead the way

This is your world now

I want to chase all your fears away

Fight for your world now

I know that somehow you'll find your way

 

 

TAKE THIS HEART

 

I've been where you are before

No one understands it more

You fear every step you take

So sure that your heart will break

It's not how the story ends

You'll be back on your feet again

Chorus

Baby, this time

There ain't nothing gonna take this heart away

No more goodbyes

There ain't nothing gonna take my heart away

The pain's still alive in you

For what one man put you through

You say that we're all the same

But I'm called by no other name

We all need a place to run

Won't you let me be the one

Repeat Chorus

Don't keep the dream in you locked outside your door

Just believe in this love

And don't be afraid anymore

I need you to please be strong

I've waited for you too long

Repeat Chorus

There ain't nothing gonna take this heart away

Oh whoah

 

 

Hazard

 

My mother came to Hazard when I was just seven

Even then the folks in town said with prejudiced eyes

That boy's not right

Three years ago when I came to know Mary

First time that someone looked beyond the rumors and the lies

And saw the man inside

We used to walk down by the river

She loved to watch the sun go down

We used to walk along the river

And dream our way out of this town

No one understood what I felt for Mary

No one cared until the night she went out walking alone

And never came home

Man with a badge came knocking next morning

Here was I surrounded by a thousand fingers suddenly

Pointed right at me

I swear I left her by the river

I swear I left her safe and sound

I need to make it to the river

And leave this old Nebraska town

I think about my life gone by

How it's done me wrong

There's no escape for me this time

All of my rescues are gone, long gone

I swear I left her by the river

I swear I left her safe and sound

I need to make it to the river

And leave this old Nebraska town
