Alive
I used to be a sleeper,
Wasting all my time.
I used to be a weak one,
Giving up what’s mine.
I used to feel empty.
Nothing made me whole.
But now something’s changed and I can’t go back to that no more.
I used to be so cautious,
Overly polite,
Betting on the sure thing,
But it always sucked me dry.
Used to make excuses.
You can’t fail if you don’t try.
But the old me’s dead and now I
I feel alive
For the first time
I feel the fire
Burning from the inside
Some kind of spontaneous combustion in my soul
Lit me up ten million watts and shook me to my core.
Woke a sleeping dragon pumping flames throughout my blood
Breathing fire, emerge enlightened and inspired.
I feel alive
For the first time
I feel the fire
Burning from the inside

I Will Carry You
Sometimes life can get the best of you
And make you feel so worthless and alone.
It washes over you and pulls you under,
So you just keep holding your breath, until it all ends.
If you’re drowning and you need a friend,
Just know.
I will carry you
(take my hand and I will get you through)
I will carry you
I’m here to save ya
Though sometimes it may seem hopeless,
Rest assure, and always know, you’re not alone.
Just think back on all those other times
You never thought you’d make it out,
But you still did it somehow.
You are greater than you realize.
But when you need a little help,
I will carry you
(take my hand and I will get you through)
I will carry you
I’m here to save ya
I will carry you
(take my hand and I will get you through)
I will carry you
I’m here to save ya

Break Up

Break Up
Will it break you?
Will it make you fold up like a house of cards?
Will it blind you,
and erase what you have done to get this far?
Will it take you, and wring out all your spirit and your soul?
And will it hurt you, when the moment comes and you don’t even know?
Can you blame me?
I gave you everything I had to give.
I cried forever
but you bled me out til there was nothing left.
I prayed for answers
but I didn’t want to hear what I was told
So I waited, and now I’m just afraid of getting old.
Sad to tell you that I’m walking out the door.
I can’t put your fragile heart ahead of my own anymore.
When I take this step I won’t be looking back,
'Cause after all I hate to see you broken.
So I’m hopin’
You’ll remember
How it feels to fall in love when it is new.
Just surrender
And before you know it you’ll forget me too.
When you get there,
You’ll see everything worked out the way it should.
But still I have to leave.
I hope you know I’d make it painless if I could.
Sad to tell you that I’m walking out the door.
I can’t put your fragile heart ahead of my own anymore.
When I take this step I won’t be looking back,
'Cause after all I hate to see you broken.
So I’m hopin’
You’ll forgive me.
Even if you never fully understand,
what was broken,
or why it didn’t quite work out the way we planned.
When it’s over
I hope all you can remember is the good.
But still I have to leave.
I hope you know I’d make it painless,
If I could.

The Dove
Somebody stop me,
Cause when I get like this,
I simply can’t resist.
I get myself in trouble every time.
I don’t want to hurt you,
But I can’t help myself.
I’ve been up on the shelf
And I just want to come down and unwind.
Darling I know,
That I put on quite a show.
And you don’t appreciate the way I sway when I’m alone.
I recognize,
how the night can hypnotize,
And that I should just get wise before I lose the only love I’ve ever known.
But don’t try to cage me.
After all, I’m a dove,
Beaming with songs and love and my spirit needs to fly.
So let me be
And have faith that I will see
That the very best of me comes through,
whenever I’m with you.

Carnival

Carnival
Loosen your grip from around my neck.
I didn’t see you coming and now, you have the upper hand.
Feels like you’re sitting on my chest,
And I’m collapsing under the weight of you.
You pollute the air I breathe with your sweet perfume.
Flood my mind with images of me and you.
Daring me to jump and when I do,
You vaporize before my eyes and there’s no trace left of you.
Are you a ghost? You just an illusion?
Don’t think that I can trust my eyes.
You pull me in close, and just when I let you in,
You make me think that it was all a lie.
Oh, I’ll pretend it doesn’t hurt or make me crazy.
So put on the brakes, and let me off this ride.
Started off like a carnival.
We were on this ride, hoping it would never end.
We are all alone, just the two of us, in this crowd of thousands.
The sweet and salty smell of the caramel you kissed off my lips;
The sound of the haunting carousel music.
But now I’m stuck in a house of mirrors
And I can’t get out or stand the sight of myself.
If I do get out, I’m greeted by a hundred clowns
Who are laughing in my face, tearing my clothes
and dousing me with water,
Leaving me for dead on the ground and I say,
Are you a ghost? You just an illusion?
Don’t think that I can trust my eyes.
You pull me in close, and just when I let you in,
You make me think that it was all a lie.
Oh, I’ll pretend it doesn’t hurt or make me crazy
So put on the brakes, and let me off this ride.

Let Her Go

Let Her Go
I’d paint a picture of your face to look at you.
I’d go miles out of the way to walk with you.
I’d survive a ten hour drive, just to be with you,
But you won’t let her go.
When it’s late, I’d lie awake to talk to you.
I would cancel all my plans to dance with you.
I’d write a song a hundred pages long, just to sing with you,
But you won’t let her go.
But baby can’t you see,
That you belong with me.
And I would wait for you,
If you could promise me,
That you could turn your back on what you have with her
And start anew with me.
I know our love could be so beautiful.
I’ll show you a better love than you’ve ever known before.
Trust what you feel.
Don’t deny yourself what’s real…
real love.
You have the choice to hear my voice or walk away.
But don’t be blinded by your kindness and take the safe way.
You won’t forget the deep regret of what could have been
If you had just let her go.
I know our love could be so beautiful.
I’ll show you a better love than you’ve ever known before.
Trust what you feel.
Don’t deny yourself what’s real.
Trust what you feel.
Don’t deny yourself what’s real…
Real love
Real love
So won’t you let her go?

Stand

Stand
Stand, rise and overcome.
Be a phoenix flying from the ashes.
Dig down deep, and find the fire burning at your core.
And run, like you’re walking on the sun.
Bare your soul, and don’t protect it from the pain.
Feel every rain drop and sun ray on your face.
Plant your feet down on the earth on which you stand.
And let the elements make you dance like a tree in the wind.
Shut down those voices in your head,
Making you doubt your way.
And fix your mind on you instead,
And keep on pushing forward.
And this time,
You’re gonna make it all the way
But first you’ve got,
You’ve gotta stand.
Free your joy, and don’t you hide it from the world.
Love without ever expecting any back.
Take that leap and trust yourself to make it through.
Don’t be afraid, if you sometimes lose your way.
Shut down those voices in your head,
Making you doubt your way.
And fix your mind on you instead,
And keep on pushing forward.
And this time,
You’re gonna make it all the way
But first you’ve got,
You’ve gotta stand.
It’s so easy to just exist,
Filling the space of every day,
Checking off somebody else’s list.
You can’t remember how you got here,
But don’t waste another moment.
Just stand.

You’ll Never Knock Me Out
Keep dragging me through the dirt
And burying me in the sand.
I’ll just keep digging myself out.
Keep lying to my face
And everyone you can.
It won’t be long ’til someone figures out,
That you, are not
the picture perfect little angel that you claim to be.
And though, I know
You’ve knocked me down a hundred times
You’ll never get the best of me.
Keep the punches coming, I’ll be ready this time.
I know how to take a hit and now I’m stronger.
Every blow refuels me just like gasoline.
Go ahead and take a swing,
but you’ll never knock me out.
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3,
Too many times I tried to be your friend.
I tried to let you in,
But ended up regretting it each time.
So when I shut you out, ignoring all your lines,
I won’t believe you’re that surprised.
I'm sure, that you’re
The very definition of self-centered sociopathy.
And though, I know
You’ve knocked me down a hundred times
You’ll never get the best of me.
Keep the punches coming, I’ll be ready this time.
I know how to take a hit and now I’m stronger
Every blow refuels me just like gasoline.
Go ahead and take a swing,
but you’ll never knock me out.
Keep the punches coming, I’ll be ready this time.
I know how to take a hit and now I’m stronger
Every blow refuels me just like gasoline.
Go ahead and take a swing,
but you’ll never knock me out.

Stay With Me

Stay with me
Take the blindfold off my eyes.
Let me see what you’ve been hiding.
Turn the lock and open the door.
Let me in out of the darkness.
Let me pick up the pieces that we broke,
And glue you back together.
Now it’s only you and me,
And we’re both a little empty.
No more walls to tear down,
But too tired to start building.
Still the thought of quitting never crossed our minds.
We’re in this thing together.
And I never meant to take for granted everything everything we’ve built.
Thought you’d always be, a part of me.
I swear to choose you every day, I won’t look back at all.
Won’t you please stay?
Stay with me.
It might take a little while.
It might take a lot of patience.
But I’ll gladly take the ride,
Cause I know it’s worth the achin’.
And there isn’t any question in my mind,
That I’ll love you forever.
And I never meant to take for granted everything we’ve built.
Thought you’d always be, a part of me.
I swear to choose you every day, I won’t look back at all.
Won’t you please stay?
Stay with me
And I never meant to take for granted everything everything we’ve built.
Thought you’d always be a part of me.
I swear to choose you every day, I won’t look back at all.
Won’t you please stay
And I never meant to take for granted everything everything we’ve built.
Thought you’d always be a part of me.
I swear to choose you every day, I won’t look back at all
Won’t you please stay (Won’t you please stay)
Stay with me
Stay with me

Yo Te Sostendre

Yo Te Sostendre
Hay momentos que la vida es
Como una tormenta en el mar.
Te pasa por arriba ahogandote
Y solo te queda esperar, sin respirar.
Si te caes a la profundidad
Créeme
Yo te sostendre
(Por la mano yo te llevaré
)
Yo te sostendre
(Voy a salvarte)
Si se siente imposible,
Tu situación, sé que yo, contigo estoy.
Solo mira a el pasado cuando no pensaste triunfar
mas lo lograste al_final
Eres tanto mas que te imaginas
Pero si te olvidarás
Yo te sostendre
(Por la mano yo te llevaré
)
Yo te sostendre
(Voy a salvarte)
Yo te sostendre
(Por la mano yo te llevaré
)
Yo te sostendre
(Voy a salvarte)

Without You

Without You
Somebody paralyze me in this moment.
Freeze the earth and stop the time.
I want to stay here in this glow that you’ve created with those eyes.
Your mouth intoxicates me when it moves,
Inebriated by the sound.
That old familiar feeling creeps back in whenever you’re around.
Feel it deep in my soul as it reaches my bones.
Sends electric shocks from my head to my toes.
Feel it deep in my soul as it reaches my bones.
Sends electric shocks from my head to my toes.
Tie me in knots and wreck me inside.
You’re making my blood pressure rise.
Shorten my breath, send chills up my spine.
And I don’t think that I can take another second without you.
I know I’m the one for you.
You know you’re meant for me.
Although we made other plans,
It’s 'bout time to set them free.
So don’t go spinning wheels inside your head.
Listen to your heart, or another part instead.
Feel it deep in my soul as it reaches my bones.
Sends electric shocks from my head to my toes.
Feel it deep in my soul as it reaches my bones.
Sends electric shocks from my head to my toes.
Tie me in knots and wreck me inside.
You’re making my blood pressure rise.
Shorten my breath, send chills up my spine.
And I don’t think that I can take another second without you.
I could have a million dollar house,
A city in my name,
A dozen fancy cars,
But it wouldn’t mean a thing.
I could have a million dollar house
A city in my name,
A dozen fancy cars
But it’s nothing without you.
Without you———
Without you (I could have a million dollar house, And a city in my name)
Without you (A dozen fancy cars, but it wouldn’t mean a thing)
Without you (I could have a million dollar house, and a city in my name)
Without you (A dozen fancy cars, but it wouldn’t mean a thing)
I could have a million dollar house
And a city in my name,
A dozen fancy cars,
But it wouldn’t mean a thing.
