Take a glance
Take a chance
Take a deep breath
Breathe in the fresh air
Cuz you know that I'll do
Anything for you
Run your toes through the sand
Feel the spark that we both share
Trust in every one of God's plans
Come girl take my hand
Let the sun soak into your skin
Cuz you know I'll do anything
And give everything for you
You know I will
I'd lay my life on the line
Let me be your guide
Let me heal the scars
You hold deep down inside
I'll hold you close in my arms
Just like the sky holds the stars
Girl, you are perfect
just the way you are

I won't let you break down
I won't let you fall
I'll be there every time you call
I won't let the storm
Come crashing through your walls
I'll be there through it all
Yeah you can own my heart
I won't give up
Cuz I'm addicted
to everything you are
Cuz you're my drug
I know that this is love

Everything you do
It's so **** cute
And everything you say
Makes me happy every day
You're so sweet when you blush
Oh I just can't get enough
Of your perfect face
The way that you taste
Every time our lips collide
You ignite the butterflies
Deep down inside
And I hope I do for you
You know it's true

I won't let you break down
I won't let you fall
I'll be there every time you call
I won't let the storm
Come crashing through your walls
I'll be there through it all
Yeah you can own my heart
I won't give up
Cuz I'm addicted

Cuz you're my drug
I know that this is love

Princess you know I'm here to protect,
I'm here to defend
Can you feel my heart
bleeding through my chest
I'll bleed for you; I'll bleed for this
Cuz you're everything I am
I won't leave you a mess
I'll do everything I can
I'll wipe the smudged mascara
From beneath your eyes
Every time you cry
I'll take your pain and make it mine
I'd write a million lines
Just to see you smile
I'll hold you tight
Let's light fireworks tonight
To brighten up your skies
I'll never lie, yeah girl it's true
I'd do all of this for you

I won't let you break down
I won't let you fall
I'll be there every time you call
I won't let the storm
Come crashing through your walls
I'll be there through it all
Yeah you can own my heart
I won't give up
Cuz I'm addicted
to everything you are
Cuz you're my drug
I know that this is love

Let the fire of desire
Light that sparkle in your eyes
I love your smile
When you say
would you stay a while
Your teeth are so white just like the stars
that shine so bright
You're my lover, and you are my life
I see you as my future wife
So put your faith and your trust
Into our love,
cuz you're the only one
I truly want
The one that I love
You take me to heaven and beyond

I won't let you break down
I won't let you fall
I'll be there every time you call
I won't let the storm
Come crashing through your walls
I'll be there through it all
Yeah you can own my heart
I won't give up
Cuz I'm addicted
to everything you are
Cuz you're my drug
I know that this is love

You're on your own
That's what the world
Said To Me

When I looked in the mirror

It couldn't have been clearer

It's time to say goodbye

Surrender Now
That's what life
Said to me
Inside these walls
(They all came crashing down)
Inside my heart
(His life fell apart)

When I looked in the mirror
It couldn't have been clearer
It's time to say goodbye

They handed him a razor blade
and said now take your life away
That's what the voices said to me
The feeling of his soul
(Was a never ending scar)
When the wounds opened up
(That's when he fell apart)

When I looked in the mirror
It couldn't have been clearer
It's time to say goodbye

As he looked at his reflection
He knew he found redemption
He turned to the sky, and he screamed
I don't believe in religion
but I do know
You've got to make it on your own

He looked in the mirror
He couldn't have been clearer
It's time to say goodbye
(Smashes Glass Sound)

Running from my reflection
in darkness and perception
turned my back on the world
things weren't getting better
tried to fight
I don't deny this
I'm just not getting up this time.

With every breath,
the days get darker.
With every touch
life gets harder.
I'm not that strong
don't get me wrong
I tried to pick
up the pieces
but they're all gone.

Confusion and stress
Are your only friends
in a dark, dark world
there's no conviction,
just a lot of anguish
and contradiction.


With every breath,
the days get darker.
With every touch
life gets harder.
I'm not that strong
don't get me wrong
I tried to pick
up the pieces
but they're all gone.

I don't want to play
life's cruel games
I tried to run away
But there is just no way.
Life's hard games
are a constant shadow
of endless days and dismay.

With every breath,
the days get darker.
With every touch
life gets harder.
I'm not that strong
don't get me wrong
I tried to pick
up the pieces
but they're all gone.

He took a razor blade
and slit his veins
ran out to the street
in the cold hard rain
there he collapsed
in amounts of pain.

With every breath,
the days get darker.
With every touch
life gets harder.
I'm not that strong
don't get me wrong
I tried to pick
up the pieces
but they're all gone.

His best friend saw
and started running
she went to her knees
and tears started gushing
down her face
She started breathing heavily
as she fell out of place.

With every breath,
the days get darker.
With every touch
life gets harder.
I'm not that strong
don't get me wrong
I tried to pick
up the pieces
but they're all gone.

She looked deep into his eyes
As she cried, please don't die
He looked up at her
with tears in his eyes
He asked can you kiss me
one last time,
before it's time to say goodbye.

With every breath,
the days get darker.
With every touch
life gets harder.
I'm not that strong
don't get me wrong
I tried to pick
up the pieces
but they're all gone.

I remember once hearing,
this sentence when I was young.
That if you really, truly loves someone,
then they're never really gone.
So I loved you like an ocean.
More than the eye could ever possibly see.
And after you left, I did remember you.
But realized, who would ever remember me?
