I put the key to the door
I turn on the lights
ain’t no way i’m thinking about you throw my coat on the floor
pour a drink with some ice
even though i can’t seem not to the night is well on it’s way diamond cuts ease the pain
I close my eyes
but what can i do
now I think back upon the day
I can finally sigh
it’s just another night alone
lay down on the floor
I can’t quiet my mind
and I still keep thinking about you I hear laughter outside
and the sounds of night
could this be a life without you there is calm in this space
it all falls away
I see the sun rise
no longer afraid
I pull down the shades
and smile
it’s just another night alone
I’m alright alone
and i’m not tired
I guess i’ll go to sleep

I can be happy I can be blue
I can be the worse person that you ever knew
I sit here trying to explain it
Seems to me you don't understand I don't give a damn
And frankly baby I don't need a man
Settle down and tell me how you want it
Looking for a pawn or a worthy opponent
You love my personality
You don't want me to change
But you don't want me to be
Well honey I can do bad all by myself
Don't need no son of a gun
I want a partner
And as we sit here
Counting all the ways I could change
Got me wondering what is it that you're wanting
Such a delicate situation
We got so much choice
Nobody wants complications
You know
And I find it funny you see everybody wants to love but not unconditionally
Well honey I can do bad all by myself
Don't want a son of a gun
I need a partner
And as we sit here counting
All the ways I could change
You got me wondering
What is it that you're wanting
I can be happy I can be blue
I can do my best to try to get through to you
I am sick and tired of explaining
Baby seems we hit a dead end
Can you comprehend I'm asking here do we give a damn
See for yourself baby is anything I'm saying sounding cool
Oh we've done the small talk baby wait who's buying is it me or you
Just wanna be on the same page baby
It ain't about me versus you
Hope you can really hear me baby
Come on
See all I'm really saying is
I can be happy I can be blue
I could be the worse person that you ever knew
I sit here trying to explain it
Maybe could you be my man
Could you understand
Or maybe we just don't give a damn
I need for you to understand
That what I need is a friend
We can talk this out baby
I ain't 'bout me versus you baby
It's 'bout what you wanna do with your life
And if you're feeling this vibe
And if you don't well baby know that's all right
We can both go our separate ways
And that's ok

Things ain’t gettin better in my part of town
faith’s under the weather little hope to be found
brothers selling on the corner got nothing better to do they’re livin’ in fear of no one not even the boys in blue
I said things ain’t getting better in my part of town
I keep on telling myself i gotta get up off my ass and change
see that young woman over there she’s only 16
she don’t care about nothing
she only worry about green
they talk about us on the tv
as if we were a zoo
as if killing ourselves is all we know how to do
I said things ain’t getting better in my part of town
I gotta get up off my ass and change

I not alone
41 years old I stand
Ain’t no one I’d rather be with right now I know it may sound wrong
But that’s ok
Moving on
Doing my best to not look at the past Ain’t nothing left back there but the ashes Of bridges that burned
And that’s ok
All the lies I told they weigh heavy The sum of past mistakes
keeps on rising
All the dreams I sold Still they haunt me But now I know
But now I know
It’s ok
I let it all go
41 years old and day
No one is perfect in this world anyway So I’ll keep moving on x 3
And that’s ok
Keep moving and don’t you stop baby til you reach your goal.

Doors shut
Music loud
Can feel the heat coming from the crowd They came to dance the night away Everybody’s getting down
They raise the hands the band is playing
All of a sudden there was Silence x 3
Gunshots through the crowd All of a sudden the was Silence x 3
Gunshots all around
Gun shot
On the other side of town
A corner store no one around
And as she pulled up to the redlight that’s when It all started going down
She saw people running running everywhere
All of a sudden there was Silence x 3
Gunshots through the crowd All of a sudden there was Silence x 3
Gunshots all around
You could only hear the Silence x 3
Gunshots through the crowd All of a sudden there was Silence x 3
I don’t know what it’s gonna take
Can the love we have redeem our hate When do we dare to make a change Someone tell me
what it’s gonna take
Can the love we have redeem our hate When do we dare to make a change
All of a sudden there was Silence x 3
You could ony hear the Silence x 2
All of a sudden there was
Sirens x 3
The cops done gunned ‘em down You could only hear the
Sirens x 3
All across the town
All of a sudden there was
Silence x 3
The cops done gunned ‘em down

I can’t feel anything My heart is broken
So many years have gone by
some without words spoken
It always felt as if time or distance had no hold on our devotion
I adore you so
But I had to let you go I had to let it go
I had to let you go
I can’t feel anything My heart is broken
A light so golden
The shadow of your smile could not be stolen Don’t want to cry but as you always said Breathe in the moment
Not so easy though I adore you so
But I have to let you go I have to let it go
I have to let you go

the pills and the potions
to soothe my emotions
i wanna drive all my troubles away
my strange behaviour
that puts me in danger
it feels so much safer than places inside cause inside
there’s nowhere to hide
the spirits and powders
i can shout louder
bolder and prouder than all of the rest
empty bravado
to show all that i know
to run from these places that haunt me inside cause inside
there’s nowhere to hide
can somebody hold me
it gets so darn lonely
and save me from pleasure that causes me pain i may need a shoulder
wiser and older
cause love is the only true craving inside
cause inside
there’s nowhere to hide
cause inside
there’s nowhere to hide

It could have been something better
It could have been something worse
But it is what it is
And it hurts
It could have been something grand
It could have been something good
But it is what it is
And it hurts
Maybe it was too fast to mad to soon
But it is what is and it hurts
Nothing that we say now matters
We did the best that we could
And maybe if we knew each other better
But it is what it is and it hurts
Maybe it was too mad to fast to soon
But it is what is is and it hurts
Burned and crashed trying to reach the moon
We both know nobody wins keeping score
And so it is what it is
I guess it is what it is
Does it ever get better
Or does is keep getting worse
You’ll find my ring inside this letter
Cause it is what it is
And it hurts
I rea
I said it is what it is
It’s gonna be what it be
You didn’t want me no more
Got me down on my knees it’s getting worse
