Lyrics


1.I DON'T WANT A LOVER

I don't want a lover
I just need a friend
I don't want a lover
I just need a friend

You can't just leave me
To face life on my own
I know you don't love me no more
I knew this day it would come
Even when it cuts so deep
It's true I still want you
But the harder I try
The more I seem to lose

I don't want a lover
I just need a friend
I've had time to recover
Now that I know it wasn't love

It's always a different story
When it's me who's in the wrong
But you can't have it all
Cause I'm the one who's strong
I've already been burnt before
Once but never again
I know the time will come
That's when you need me then

I don't want a lover
I just need a friend
I've had time to recover
Now that I know it wasn't love

I don't want a lover
I just need a prayer
I know you never cared
Now that I know it wasn't love

You don't even care
About what I'm saying
You don't even think
What you're doing
All you see is what you want it to be
But in there there's just no room for me

I don't want a lover
I just need a friend
I've had time to recover
Now that I know it wasn't love

I don't want a lover
I just need a prayer
I know you never cared
Now that I know it wasn't love


2. TELL ME WHY

Even now I can see that day
The fear in your eyes
Tell me why
Were you so afraid

Somethings they turn out this way
Fire the bullet and find
That you don't know what you left behind
When we laid you to rest

Tell me why were you so afraid
Tell me why were you so afraid

You walk this line
You walk this line of hate
Where to people are so blind
Blind to the evil it creates
Never say to much
Never think out loud

Tell me why were you so afraid
Tell me why were you so afraid

I know one day you'll find a way
To heal the wounds
I know one day you'll find a way
To heal the wounds

Tell me why were you so afraid

Even now I can see that day
The fear in your eyes
You gave all you lived for
Whilst you kept your pride

Tell me why were you so afraid
Tell me why were you so afraid


3. EVERYDAY NOW

I just woke up and I can see it now
It's never been this close before
Tried to tell myself I didn't care
Crying out why am I here
There's no point in me hiding
And only now I can see

Everyday now
Everyday now
The blame's gonna fall on me

Something deep inside said move away
Try to leave what's good behind
And I still ask myself
Why I let it go
All these years were wasted time
There's no point in me hiding
And only now I can see

Everyday now
Everyday now
The blame's gonna fall on me

Everyday now
Everyday now
The blame's gonna fall on me

Cause I never told you
That I could never live without it
Now the blame's on me

Everyday now
Everyday now
The blame's gonna fall on me

Everyday now
Everyday now
The blame's gonna fall on me

Everyday now
Everyday now
The blame's gonna fall on me

5.PRAYER FOR YOU

All I see is the truth now
That's all I want you to know
That I'll never turn my back on you
And leave you out there on your own
I could never hide my feelings
I could never let you fall
And I want you to remember
All the love that I've found

Oh I say a prayer
A prayer for you
Oh for you

I could never make a promise
I'd only break it in the end
Then you're looking for the answers
You'd never trust in me again
I could never watch you suffer
I could never let you down
And I hope you soon discover
All the truth that I've now found

Oh I say a prayer
A prayer for you
Oh for you

Oh I say a prayer
A prayer for you
Oh for you


6. FAITH

Believe in
In what I'm saying
It's so much harder
When it's you who is listening
When I see suspicion in your eyes
You know it hurts me
It turns my head around
No words could explain

You've got to have faith in me
nothing left to lose
You've got to have faith in me
nothing left to lose
I'm gonna prove myself true to you somehow
Have faith

Deceiving
Deceiving only you
Why should I care
When it means nothing to you
When I see life coming closer
I turn and pray
Was it all in vain
Will my world change

You've got to have faith in me
You've nothing left to lose
You've got to have faith in me
You've nothing left to lose
I'm gonna prove myself true to you somehow
Have faith

Oh pleasing you has proven to be
To be my weakest link yeh
But if I change no place is safe
Safe from a piece of mind

You've got to have faith in me
You've nothing left to lose
Please have faith in me
You've nothing left to lose

You've got to have faith in me
I'm gonna prove myself true to you somehow
Have faith
You've got to have faith in me


7. THRILL HAS GONE

Listening I hear your voice
Together you and I have nothing left to carry on
And I'm seeing you slip away
Cause you never cared
You never even realised

Now the thrill has gone
Cause I can see it in your eyes
Now the thrill has gone
And it was you who threw it all away
Now the thrill has gone

Wondering as I look outside
Changes all around
There's nothing left here to hide
And I'm asking you have you lost your soul
Cause you never cared
You never even realised that I wasn't there

Now the thrill has gone
Cause I can see it in your eyes
Now the thrill has gone
And it was you who threw it all away
Now the thrill has gone

Say to me what I want to hear
Say to me what I want to hear
Say to me what I want to hear
Cause you never cared
You never even realised that I wasn't there

Now the thrill has gone
Cause I can see it in your eyes
Now the thrill has gone
And it was you who threw it all away
Now the thrill has gone

Now the thrill has gone
Now the thrill has gone
Now the thrill has gone


8.FIGHT THE FEELING

I've looked down the saddest city lane
I've looked at the people with faces of pain
I can't forget it
I can't forget it
I looked into your eyes
You think it just a game
Their faces keep on looking
But it's all in vain
I can't forget it
I can't forget it

Fight the feeling
Show me your strenght
Fight the feeling
You've got to fight to the end

You keep telling me my mind is too cruel
But I can't help it if I live by these rules
You'll never change them
You'll never change them
You took me for a fool
And read my thoughts
You never realised that I couldn't be bought
I can't forget it
You will regret it

Fight the feeling
Show me your strenght
Fight the feeling
You've got to fight to the end

You can only push me so far
Before I can't take no more
I've made the vow
You've lost me now
Don't push me so far

Fight the feeling
Show me your strenght
Fight the feeling
You've got to fight to the end


9. FOOL FOR LOVE

I've looked down the saddest city lane
I've looked at the people with faces of pain
I can't forget it
I can't forget it
I looked into your eyes

You think it just a game
Their faces keep on looking
But it's all in vain
I can't forget it
I can't forget it

Fight the feeling
Show me your strenght
Fight the feeling
You've got to fight to the end

You keep telling me my mind is too cruel
But I can't help it if I live by these rules
You'll never change them
You'll never change them
You took me for a fool
And read my thoughts
You never realised that I couldn't be bought
I can't forget it
You will regret it

Fight the feeling
Show me your strenght
Fight the feeling
You've got to fight to the end

You can only push me so far
Before I can't take no more
I've made the vow
You've lost me now
Don't push me so far

Fight the feeling
Show me your strenght
Fight the feeling
You've got to fight to the end


10. ONE CHOICE

There's only one reason left for me to stay
But you won't like the reason why
Tried so many times to get through the two of you
But you don't even want to try
Times are hard and people need all they have got
Look around and see what's left today
Ain't so easy making it on your own
What more do I need to say

There's only one choice to be made
And I can't help it
If you take the wrong way

Never knew a good thing
Till it moved away
Now it's too late to turn it back
You'd buy the world if it would make me stay
Listen now to what I have to say

There's only one choice to be made
And I can't help it
If you take the wrong way

There's only one choice to be made
And I can't help it
If you take the wrong way

Sitting here thinking
But nothing seems to change
And I can't stand it anymore
There's always someone trying to pull you down
Do you really want this constant war

There's only one choice to be made
And I can't help it
If you take the wrong way

There's only one choice to be made
And I can't help it
If you take the wrong way


11. FUTURE IS PROMISES

I saw him today at the station
There was something on his mind
I felt I was on the devil's mission
Trying to steal him from a friend

I know it hurts you
And you can't ask why
I know it's hurts you
Takes a train to cry

You're only future is promises
For so many years
Your only future is promises
I know you can make it if you try

You've been living life in the past
I'm gonna reach out I'm gonna grab your heart
You've been living life in the eyes of a stranger
You've gotta free your mind
Cause I want to get nearer

Your only future is promises
For so many years
Your only future is promises
I know you can make it if you try

Take the chance and make the move
But don't think that I will approve
For once I've finally realised
Being with her wasted your life

Your only future is promises
For so many years
Your only future is promises
I know you can make it if you try

Your only future is promises
For so many years
Your only future is promises
I know you can make it if you try
