The Broken One
verse:
won't listen, can't listen
to anything, from the heart
heartbroken, mistaken
was blinded, from the start
you're runnin, and stumblin
on the path, away from here
pre-chorus:
you're dyin, revealin
a path, filled with........... fear
chorus:
oh don't despair, oh broken one
love's not here, but love's not gone
time teaches us, one by one
soon you'll realize, where the pain is from
verse:
time is movin, just flowin'
leaving, your lonely art
pride's screamin, and hate'n
it's burning, the past apart
love is hurtin, hurt is searchin
cannot find, one so near
pre-chorus:
life's goin', not stopin
for a love, turned 'to....... fear
chorus:
oh don't despair, oh broken one
love's not here, but love's not gone
time teaches us, one by one
soon you'll realize, where the pain is from
bridge (instrumental):
chorus:
you neet to learn, how to trust in love again
you need to remember, the joys that made the pain
many have visited, love's sadness before
whoever was there, found love was the cure!
so don't despair, oh broken one
love's not here, but love's not gone
time teaches us, one by one
soon you'll realize, where the pain is from
verse:
hhhmm, hhhmm
hhhmm, hhmmm....
ending:
awaken, and listen
to the heart, once........ again....
-----------------------
old lyrics -- for reference...
chorus:
now he's learning, how to fall in love again
he's remembering, the joys that made the pain
many have visited, love's sadness before
whoever was there, found love was the cure
now he's living, within love's grace again
he's alive and smiling, accepting all the pain
many have been tempted, by love so unsure
forever is there, when love is truly pure
bridge (ending):
so don't despair, oh lonely one
love's not her, but love's not gone
love teaches us, one by one
in time you'll realize, your just a man
oh don't despair, oh broken one
love's not here but love's not gone
love teaches us one by one
in time you will realize, how the night knows the sun
oh don't despair, oh broken one
love's not here but love's not gone
love teaches us one by one
in time you will realize, how this game is won

l o s t m a s k
you need solutions, not compassion
you need words of the wise, not pleasant lies
i don't need to waste my time on you
i don't need to waste my time on not being true
i have visited your sadness before
i was there when i was twenty-four
i don't need to convince you of a truth
i don't need to convince you of my truth
we have been taught to fear
the truths behind the masks we wear
so we let teachers and prophets profit
on fixing the things we were taught to hate
so what say you my friend?
when will your self-hate end?
i left my masks lost in the past
when will you let go of your own masks?

A p r i l F o o l s
[guy and girl mix]
[intro]
[plucking verse - guy]
why can't you understand, how much you mean to me?
why can't you take a stand and let me walk away?
why can't i [+drums] be somebody to feel the truth?
why can't i say goodbye and not waste my youth, on you...
[strumming verse]
[guy] [girl]
[on you...] [i know that i should let you go]
[on you...] [but i fear the loneliness without you]
[on you...] [without the burning desire of those eyes]
[on you...] [holding on to the tears of my goodbyes]
[plucking verse - guy]
should i share my lonely tears?
should i be a slave to all my fears?
should i walk away and carry on?
separate and sing this song
[strumming verse]
[guy] [girl]
[for you...] [you dream of a song that can express]
[for you...] [the thoughts trapped beneath my carelessness]
[for you...] [the heart feels empty when there's no more love to give]
[for you...] [your heart will die but i know it will forgive]
[plucking bridge - guy]
is this love that i'm feeling?
is this right what i'm doing?
is this real what i'm dreaming?
or just a weak mind thinking,
[strumming bridge]
[guy] [girl]
[of you...] [is this love that you are preaching?]
[of you...] [is this pain that you'll be learning?]
[of you...] [is this the reason why we are breathing?]
[of you...] [or just my weak heart needing,]
[strumming verse]
[girl] [guy]
[to be free...] [and now you got to tell me the truth in your heart]
[to be free...] [and now you got to decide where to start]
[to be free...] [and now you got to find a way to say]
[to be free...] [and now you got to choose what's next for me]
[plucking verse]
[guy] [girl]
[and you...] [will i ever feel your pain?]
[and you...] [will i ever see you again?]
[and you...] [can you try to be my friend?]
[and you...] [and buy some time that you can spend]
[strumming verse]
[girl] [guy]
[on me?] [my love is free...]
[on me?] [my love is free...]
[on me?] [my love is free...]
[on me?] [my love is free...]
[fade out]

unconditional LOVE
[Verse]
you gave me the reason to exist
and i'll give you at the very least,
another chance for another day
so please listen to what i have to say...
[Strum]
----
[Verse]
these past few months had been the best,
so give your teaRs some needed rest;
as i promised, i will give up my life for you,
too bad i only have one, since that's too few
[Strum]
There is no need to say you're sorry,
My heart has forgiven you already;
[Bridge]
you gave me the reason to exist
and i'll give you at the very least
another chance for another day
so please care for what I have to say
[Chorus]
and i will wait for you in heaven
where all your regrets will be forgiven
waiting for you will be a fresh new start
and i'll wait with an open heart
[Verse]
soon it will be my last breath
but i won't mourn my very own death...
for my heart has decided
"that LOVE multiplies when divided"*
[Strum]
Although in death, I’ll say goodbye
Once in the sky, we’ll say hello
[Bridge]
you gave me the reason to exist
and i'll give you at the very least
another chance for another day
so please remember what i have to say
[Chorus]
and i will wait for you in heaven
where all your regrets will be forgiven
waiting for you will be a fresh new start
and i'll wait with an open heart
[Strum]
i will remember you...
i will care for you...
i will listen to you...
i will die for you...
