Ask me a question and I will not tell you a lie
I am the bearer of this tragic plot but I can't tell you why

There are some things you can't explain
There are never things you cannot change

Can you elicit the response you've played inside your mind?
You are the terror of your enemies, the ones you house inside

And there are some things you can't explain
There are never things you cannot change

Can we examine the power to make somebody smile.
Why don't we recognize the merit of this, our consciences beguiled?

There are some things you can't explain
There are never things you cannot change

There are some things you can't explain
And there may come a day it becomes clear
and nothing we'll fear

I constantly question myself
I'm consistently hard on myself
And there is much I wish I did better
but I'm working on it

But if given a choice to be anyone, I'd choose me
And by the grace of God I'll be someone I can be proud of

Sometimes I give up easily
And I get angry easily
And step aside should I lose my head
but I don't mean it

And if given a choice to be anyone, I'd choose me
And by the grace of God I'll be someone I can be proud of

I say something stupid sometimes
Get neurotic at times
and just when I think I'm all grown up
I realize I'm not

But if given a choice to be anyone, I'd choose me
And by the grace of God I'll be someone I can be proud of

Every time he goes I get weak
wanna wrap myself around and bring him to his knees
And say

Please, Please, Please don't leave

I can safely say I'd never felt
the kind of love which men fought battles over long ago
But with you, my love, I understand
I can see the gates of heaven when you hold my hand

Please, Please, Please don't leave

There's something special about you, which sets you apart
I think that I could always love you, you have my heart

When I look at you I feel the earth
moving gently underneath and cradling me like it's child
Thought I'd become immune to passion's wiles
Now I'm rendered still and breathless
when you flash a smile

Please, Please, Please, Please don't leave

I think that I will burst into a million pieces
I am so high I cannot see the little town tavern
on the corner of Summit and East Diamond Avenue
And there is nothing I can say sometimes, I'm beyond, beyond words

Just like the canyon wide and open before me, I'm in awe
Just like the Buddhist in the temple, I lay me down before you
And there is nothing I can say sometimes, I'm beyond, beyond words

You make it so You make me think
You make me sing You make it all worth while

Someone like you is bound to achieve some brilliant invention
I think that you would burst into a million little pieces, if you slowed down
And there is nothing I can say sometimes, I'm beyond, beyond words

You make it so You make me think
You make me sing You make it all worth while

If you don't mind, I'd like to take a seat by you for always
With joy we'll fly until we burst into a million pieces
And there is nothing I can say sometimes, I'm beyond, beyond words

You make it so You make me think
You make me sing You make it all worth while
You make it so You make me think
You make me laugh You make it all worth while

He waits for coffee
and he waits on me
He's waiting for life as he carries his strife
he reminds me of me

I think I love you but I don't want to be with you
I think of nothing sometimes but what it'd be like to kiss you

You can't help but like him
Wears his heart on his sleeve
And all of his life he's been lacking inside
he's just waiting to be

I think I love you but I don't want to be with you
I think of nothing sometimes but what it'd be like to kiss you

It's running through us
round and round
The monsters move in all too fast

There's something about him
keeps me just close enough
and I wonder if I wouldn't be at his side
if he didn't remind me of me

I think I love you but I don't want to be with you
I think of nothing sometimes but what it'd be like to kiss you

I think I love you but I don't want to be with you
I think of nothing sometimes but what it'd be like to kiss you

I know it isn't easy for you
All your secrets weigh you down, weigh you down
And you're much too young to carry all this weight
And you're much too old to carry on this way

And you try so hard, you try so hard
All you do doesn't seem enough for you

You recall so few good memories
While the cradle rocked you fell, you fell down
Soon you learned that everything's your fault
And as you grew no one ever said it's not

So you try so hard, you try so hard
All you do doesn't seem enough for you

You won't let it happen…you won't let it happen again

Now you always watch your back
Love has always let you down, let you down
Now trouble follows everywhere you go
And your self-worth has reached an all time low

Still you try so hard, you try so hard
All you do doesn't seem enough for you

You try so hard, you try so hard
All you are, isn't good enough for you

Sammy's very talented, she can draw
Write a story, play a song
but she can't tell you what she saw

That's why she is here
She has internalized her fears
And nothing you can tell her
will make her self hatred disappear...

Alan used to deal, used to use
he's got a scar that he's proud of
he learned to fight from the abuse

That's why he is here
She has internalized her fears
And nothing you can tell her
will make her self hatred disappear...

Kelly's beautiful and very bright
she doesn't eat her mother's food
they never notice when they fight.

That's why she is here
She has internalized her fears
That's why they are here
And nothing you can tell them
will make their self hatred disappear...

We survived four seasons
we have weighed our reasons
and we've waited for a sign

Getting by is so hard now
letting go of our hearts now
leaves us only to resign

Do we bend or do we break
Do we bend or do we break

Try to bide my time now
try to find what's right now
but no answer's in the sky

Do we bend or do we break
Do we bend or do we break

They say pain makes us stronger
and that distance makes us fonder
then we've something to go on

Do we bend or do we break
Do we bend or do we break

We survived four seasons

Oops, silly me, I thought we were meant to be
But it's another sad situation
That ends in heartache and frustration
Ooh, Hey, nah nah nah nah
Ooh, Hey, nah nah nah nah

Don't know how I was so blind
Thought you were the final find
Don't know how I was so blind
Thought you would always be mine

So once again, I'm turning lovers into friends
Might be better off alone
I've got the TV and the phone
Ooh, Hey, nah nah nah nah
Ooh, Hey, nah nah nah nah

Don't know how I was so blind
Thought you were the final find
Don't know how I was so blind
Thought you would always be mine

Maybe this brings me just a little closer to the right thing
That's what I'll think
I will lean toward the bright side and not to the drink
Ooh, Hey, nah nah nah nah
Ooh, Hey, nah nah nah nah

Don't know how I was so blind
Thought you were the final find
Don't know how I was so blind
Thought you would always be mine

He was my blue in the gray
my light of the day
my fond yesterday

He was my spectrum of white
my beacon of light
my still of the night

What have I done?
Made the moon dim and I've blackened the sun

He was my jewel of the crown
my smile of the clown
my pride of the town

What have I done?
Made the moon dim and I've blackened the sun,
blackened the sun.

He was my dance of a child
my king of the wild
my wind swift and mild

What have I done? What have I done?
Made the moon dim and blackened the sun
No stars shine, no dawn has begun

He was my blue in the gray

I love the way he stands, and cocks his head to one side
I love the way he laughs, he does it with such style

He gets to me, I love the way he loves me
He gets to me, and he gets me

When my baby's upset, I don't know what to do
It wouldn't be enough, there's more I'd want to do

'Cause he gets to me, I love the way he loves me
He Gets to me, and he gets me

I love the way he talks, and talks of where he comes from
I love the way he looks into my eyes and through and through and through me

He gets to me, I love the way he loves me
He Gets to me, he gets me
I love the way he loves me
He Gets to me and he gets me

Everywhere you go, they're there, shaking out a finger, flipping back their hair
There, there, many people judge and many people stare, but

Don't you listen, don't buy into it
Don't you listen, no, you're better than that

Everywhere you go, they're there, inner little voices, from out of thin air
There, there, everybody has 'em, some don't seem to care
But yours persist and you clench your angry fist and it wears you down until you can't resist

Don't you listen, don't buy into it
Don't you listen, no, you're better than that

Driving in your car, they're there, nagging little creatures won't let you get far
There are too many forces 'gainst you, don't let one be you
When you hit the gas you second guess and think you'll never be the best, and now there's tightness in your chest

Don't you listen, don't buy into it
Don't you listen, no, you're better than that

Everywhere you go, everywhere you are, everywhere you turn… they're there

Don't you listen, don't buy into it
Don't you listen, no, you're better than that

I wake up in another country from where I laid down
Not the same, but the churches and the castles still remain

I see the green against the sky
Wipe the sleep out of my eyes
I wonder what I'll find today
I know from you I'm worlds away

Headed out to the square, I don't speak the language here
But I try, walk the town, miss the train, start to cry

I see the steeples in the sky
Wipe the smoke out of my eyes
I wonder what I'll find today
I know from you I'm worlds away

I return, get in late, get with you, share what I've learned
We don't see things the same, I must go, 'though it's a shame

I see the sunshine leave your eyes
Wipe the tears and say goodbye
Although I'm here with you today
I know from you I'm worlds away.

I see the stars up in the sky
Wipe the tears out of my eyes
I wonder what I'll find today
I know from you I'm worlds away

In the darkness is where I see the light

In the quiet is where I hear the most

And all will be revealed
in the night

We all fall down
or take flight

In this moment, give up everything

Less is lighter, let’s you leave the ground

We all can find a gift
In simple things

We all come tumbling down
or take wing

Quite a few men say they want me
And I have to say it kinda makes me feel good
I've allowed too many men to touch me...but I have to say

I'm standing in a field of ivy
looking for something that will grow
bigger and more beautiful
strong enough that it will poke up through the snow

You tell me you don't want to hurt me
You tell me that I'm wonderful
You say you do not want to date me
You think I'm beautiful...what a fool

I'm standing in a field of ivy
looking for something that will grow
bigger and more beautiful
strong enough that it will poke up through the snow

Quite a few men, they have hurt me
And I have to say it kinds makes me feel mad
I allowed myself to feel unworthy, but now I know
if I don't think I'm special, who else will, who will

I'm standing in a field of ivy
looking for something that will grow
bigger and more beautiful
strong enough that it will poke up through the snow

I'm standing in a field of ivy
looking for something that will grow
bigger and more beautiful
strong enough that it will poke up through the snow

If I linger, will you linger with me
If I linger, do you think anyone will see
How I adore you, how much I love you

Deciding not to be so cynical
Deciding that love can be so beautiful
'Despiting' what may be political
I know our love transcends the physical

If you ask me, will you be with me I'd say
and If you ask me, will you love me I'd say
I'm always with you and I'll always love you

Deciding not to be so cynical
Deciding that love can be so beautiful
'Despiting' what may be political
I know our love transcends the physical

If I linger, will you linger with me
If I linger, do you think anyone will see
how you adore me, how much you love me

Deciding not to be so cynical
Deciding that love can be so beautiful
'Despiting' what may be political
I know our love transcends the physical

Deciding not to be so cynical
Deciding that love can be so beautiful
'Despiting' what may be political
I know our love transcends the physical

Sometimes it just all falls around you
and you wonder if it's payback for some recent peccadillo and
sometimes I wish I was building my own castles,
but instead I'm too damn busy beating fists into my pillow and...

There's no pride in pity
there's no art in anger
there's no sense in sanity
if you dream of danger

Somewhere there are those who feel like you do
so breathe this and believe this
you are not always a victim

There's no pride in pity
there's no art in anger
there's no sense in sanity
if you dream of danger

Sometimes it just all falls around you
but you can always find some comfort
knowing you are up and standing

There's no pride in pity
there's no art in anger
there's no sense in sanity
if you dream of danger

There's no pride in pity
there's no art in anger
there's no sense in sanity
if you dream of danger

We've known it for some time
I am yours and you're my kind
You fascinate my mind
Can't quite explain
A name would only stain, you and I

Like measures in a song
branches to a tree
Ocean is to earth
The sweetest melody...we're connected

Been building for some time
More and more you're on my mind
You are beautiful and kind
But you don't see it
Can't quite believe it's true, me and you

Like measures in a song
branches to a tree
Ocean is to earth
The sweetest melody...we're connected
we're connected, we're connected

Have trouble concentrating
It's so intoxicating
And do you know that you amaze me
You drive me crazy
Come closer now, oh you and I

Like measures in a song
branches to a tree
Ocean is to earth
The sweetest melody...we're connected
we're connected, we're connected

We've got a situation here
I'm pulled in all directions
some salient words of wisdom fail to appear
oh should I speak or should I hold my peace, 'cause

I don't know what I'm going to do
I don't know what I'm going to do
I don't know what I'm going to do
I don't know what I'm going to do

I haven't spoken much to you
frustration has surmounted
There'll be a loss of sorts no matter what I do
I need the deity to find a remedy

I don't know what I'm going to do
I don't know what I'm going to do
I don't know what I'm going to do
I don't know what I'm going to do

I should be thankful on the one hand
insulted on the other
and should I share my mind would someone understand
or mock my words, making matter worse

When I awaken, will this be over
Am I mistaken, did you say you will
you'll do what you say
I don't know what I'm going to do...

Dear Sevda, hope you're feeling better now
Dear Sevda, I can't even begin to imagine what you've been through

Tell me what words of comfort I can offer you
when comforts are not all they took from you
and could someone explain to me the cause of such needless indignities

Dear Sevda, were there things you left behind?
And were they just as precious as you are
tell me about the home they made you leave

And tell me what words of comfort I can offer you
when comforts are not all they took from you
and could someone explain to me the reasons for atrocities like these
what demons taught one benefits from causing harm to anyone

Dear Sevda, hold on
Dearest Sevda, I'm sure you wonder how these things could come to be
just like me

And tell me what words of comfort I can offer you
when comforts are not all they took from you
and could someone explain to me why we repeat the worst of history
what happened to the innocence born with first breath, then it takes your last

One more word, one more touch
please don't leave me this way
Are you scared? Are there voices that haunt you inside...with those words you can't say?

Let her soul sing.
Hear her voice ring.
If she knew just how I loved to hear her sing...let her soul sing.

There's no time, see her rise
just one thing as you go
Are there ghosts or are angels waiting in the wings?
see, I really must know.

Let her soul sing
Hear her voice ring
Does she know just how much I love to hear her sing. Let her soul sing.

Are you safe and at peace?
Wish I could say we're all fine.
Can you sleep and forget all the dreams unfulfilled
I still hold on to mine.

Let her soul sing
Hear her voice ring
Does she know how much I loved to hear her sing. Let her soul sing.
Hear her answering. Does she know how much.

Waiting on the campus green
we sit tense 'neath the apple tree
and it feels laden with fruit — like me
I turn to him, he turns away
and my mind is made

Who's to know, Who's to say
who's got the right, who's got the right anyway

I've got my own life, I'm nobody's wife
not looking for the least of disruptions
saving face or falling from grace
I'm frightened and lonely, decision controls me
there's life inside, his life is mine, I choose to create

Who's to know, Who's to say
who's got the right, who's got the right anyway

Blade cuts way too close, this choice I have
My life was spared by someone before me
Why can't I love what's yet to come, not knowing how?
Oblivion is sweeter than my reflection
I choose mine

Who's to know, Who's to say
who's got the right, who's got the right anyway
Who's to know, Who's to say
who's got the right, who's got the right anyway

The last thing that I ever asked of you
sign the car to me and would you mind feeding the cat
and then it came down, and then I came down

Nothing left to save so I danced
Broken by myself I can dance

At first I froze and stood and stared down at the floor
hearing nothing but the closing of the door
and then it came down, and the rain came down

Nothing left to save so I danced
Broken by myself I can dance the way Ally did

When you know what's going on at least you know
if you can't get through the door you can always try a window
and it comes down, let it rain down

Nothing left to save so I danced to Dave Matthews Band
Broken by myself I can dance the way Ally did
Nothing left to save
Broken by myself I can dance the way Ally did

I'm trying to figure out a way
To tell you what I need to say
If you looked inside here's what you'd find there
A broken heart and a changing mind

How can I tell you that it's over
even though I'm not over...
You say you love me
But place all else above me
And it's breaking my heart

When we both fell, we gambled our hearts
You know we've known it from the start
that in choosing love times would be tough
But we know love, love is not enough

How can I tell you that it's over
even though I'm not over...
You say you love me
But place all else above me
And it's breaking my heart

As I confront that we are through
There's one more thing I'd like to say to you
No one else has ever loved me this way
and I'll never be the same after today

How can I tell you that it's over
even though I'm not over...
You say you love me
But place all else above me
And it's breaking my heart

Face it, I'm lost between my will and my want
not up for the kill, but I'm a warrior for the hunt and...

I stick to my guns
even if I'm the last one standing

Become complacent to the place that I have come
Of all the faces I've put on, I've forgotten the real one

and to stick to my guns,
even if I'm the last one standing

Maybe there's merit in reflecting on mistake
the more you have, the more away from it you take

and I'll stick to my guns, even if I'm the lonely one
still I stick to my guns
and I will be the last one standing...when the battle I have won
