PRETTY WHEN YOU LEAVE

Straight up :
just leave it at the door
I’ve made up my mind
many times before
but I’ll wait at the last gate
and I know that it’s too late
I know

You’re pretty when you leave
Don’t turn around (oh man)
Smile when you talk
if you don’t wanna get caught
You’re pretty when you leave

Wait up :
don’t tell me
you want more
I’ve walked down the isle
many times before
And I know that it won’t change - a thing
It’s not where the heartache begins

You’re pretty when you leave
Don’t turn around (oh man)
Smile when you talk
if you don’t wanna get caught
Listen to the outlaws
if you’re ready or not
You’re pretty when you leave

GOT TO GET TO YOU

Take it back and hurry up
I would trade you in a minute
if I could
Now you know

Take it back and do it fast
I would change it in a minute
if I could
Now you know

And I won’t back down
I got to get to you
Even if it’s the
last thing on my mind
I got to get to you
Even if it’s
raining all this time
I am lost, I am found

Take it back and wrap it up
There’s no time for me
to tell you we’re different
Well now you know

Take it back and there you go
Can you believe that I
got no one to turn to
Not a god forsaken soul

If it all comes to this
will you turn back time
If it all comes to this
will you stick around

FAITHFUL

No questions, no demands
I’ve given all that I can
in these hotels where
I’ve never been faithful
God knows that I have tried
and I’m still not satisfied
Don’t tempt me
or try to be someone
you are not

You see I’m
done with the life I’ve been leading
I will not step aside
Not for anyone slightly familiar
I will not step aside
Not even tonight

Don’t try to give a damn
Don’t lie ‘bout the times you spend
in these hotels where
I’ve never been faithful
Face forward, don’t look back
Get rid of the chills you’ve had
in these hotels
where I’ve never been faithful
Please don’t ask

DEMONS

Is your mind made up
and are you sure
Are you broken-hearted
like you were before

Have you seen this one
It goes down fast
I can only give you
what I know best

I’m glad to know that
it ain’t no use boy
I’m counting all your demons
and I let no one else between us
You should know

Words of longing
and words of pain
It kind a grows on you
why, I can’t explain
So have you seen this one
It goes down fast
I can not rely on
you cause it won’t last

Can anybody please
be on my side ?

I AM

I’m giving in
I’m changing course
and you want love
yeah love of course
But I don’t seem to have
a grip on you at all

Set it up
I will be there
with open eyes &
eyes will stare
I can’t believe that
I am too afraid to look

Because
I am and you are
so scared of who we are
I am and you are
afraid of what might
happen if we part

I move to fast
my heart says no
It only stops to say hello
and than I realised
we’re in for something more
Set it up
I will be there
A change of heart
well I don’t care
I only think about the
consequences love

I am useless
I am right
I am useless

LALALOVER

There’s no time
cause I’m about to leave
You see all that I ever wanted
was to disappear
There’s no trail
that brings me back to you
There’s nothing more to say
and nothing more to prove

Lalalover, lalalover
There’s nothing you can pin on me
Lalalover, lalalover
I’m taking a break from all that is real

There’s no time
to tell you how it feels
Is there someone I can trust
cause I don’t know what is real
Old days can cut you like a knife
I don’t need you to remind me
I don’t need you around

SWEET LORRAINE

Is it true that
I no longer exist
whenever I’m around you ?
There’s more to this
You got style
yeah you know just
what it takes
but you will never back down
You will keep it straight
(and I say)

I bet you are, I bet you are
Sweet Lorraine
I bet you had more than enough
I bet you are, I bet you are
Sweet Lorraine
I bet you are

Is it true what they say about
the mess that you left
when you left
There’s more to this

On the side, you got a million things
to cope with
but you’ll never hide, you will never hide
and therefor

These are the days of confusion
I need to live them...
These guys from our past
I should forgive them

There ‘s no need to worry and I know that you never did

THE TRUTH ABOUT THAT GIRL AND ME

Baby how you doing
Are you waiting up for me
I got you where I want you
I know it’s not easy
Baby how you doing
Are you nervous just like me
Its coming down, coming down
in a way you’ve never seen

No I don’t wanna be
the one to tell you
Don’t make it so hard on me

No I don’t wanna be
the last to tell you
the truth about that girl

Is it any wonder
that I am still afraid
I know I did the right thing
at least that’s what they say
Any day now
I know it won’t take long
before you see the light of day
cause its coming on so strong

HIDE FROM THE SUN

There’s no reason
to forgive you
No excuse for what you’ve done
I’ve got to draw
the line somewhere
You better hide before you run

There’s no reason
to forgive you
Just look at what you’ve done
I got to draw the line
and make sure
that you hide from the sun

IT AIN’T THAT BAD


Vivid as you are
you’re taking things too far
I always thought
that you were in control
but no

Here is how it goes
I want everyone to know that

all it takes
are one or two mistakes
that drive you mad
I have given everything I’ve got
I’ll take it back
Looking out for no one
but yourself
it ain’t that bad

The thing is I have grown
I don’t need to take this
no more
Excuses that will
only hunt you down
Here is how it goes
I want everyone to know
