Getting out soon. Can’t fight for you Wanted to see. Can’t keep hanging on Falling for you. What can I do? Where it all began. Feels just like I am After all is gone. Feels like you All that I know. Feels like you I always knew. This love for you Could never be. Feels so far away Where did you go? When I was all alone What could have been? Feels just like I am After all is gone. Feels like you All that I know. Feels like you Another moment in time it’s like we’re falling apart (feels like you) I fear the darkness inside I’m staring into the void (feels like you) Another moment in time it’s like we’re falling apart (feels like you) I fear the darkness inside I’m staring into the void (feels like you)

Taking flight. I won’t fight for this tonight Something I feel inside I won’t let this pass me by Don’t you see? There’s no longer you and me What did you want me to do? when I’m not relying on you I’m Falling now but I’ve got my feet on the ground Im Alive but don’t know why if I can’t give you all my time I’m making up my mind. I’m moving on with my life Don’t know what more I can do. When I’ve giving up on you Don’t you see that It’s time to let me be? I’ve got this feeling now that we’re gonna work it out I’m Falling now but I’ve got my feet on the ground Im Alive but don’t know why if I can’t give you all my time I’m Falling now but I’ve got my feet on the ground Im Alive but don’t know why if I can’t give you all my time

Are we losing touch? Falling out of love Cause it’s plain to see And it’s killing me Look into my eyes As I call to you Can’t you see? My heart it burns for you Can’t you feel my love? I can see your pain When you hide your face Give it to me straight So we can walk away Look into my eyes As I call to you Can’t you see? My heart it burns for you Don’t you need my love?

Breathless 03:23
I never thought I’d be here It feels just like I’m dreaming Can’t give up on this feeling Feeling…feeling Breathless I wait for you unexpected Restless on my own since I don’t need you I never thought of leaving Can’t lose it over these things You’re giving up so easy Easy…easy Breathless I wait for you unexpected Restless on my own since I don’t need you Breathless I wait for you unexpected Restless on my own since I don’t need you

Pure 03:40 video
I just want to feel alive. For all I try Counting days that pass me by. I’ve got no right The love I see in you and what you see in me This feeling is so pure and I’m feeling this way tonight These feelings drifting through my mind I don’t know why Take me back to better times when all was right The love I see in you and what you see in me This feeling is so pure and I’m feeling this way tonight

Apart 03:05
Now I can’t see at all Behind those violent eyes Try as I might I can’t imagine now A life without you here It’s in my mind Save me from the dark cause I know it’s killing me And we just fall apart and I know it’s killing you Right now I feel it every day/This darkness in my life With no respite Can you erase this pain?/It’s all I’ve got tonight For all my life Save me from the dark cause I know it’s killing me And we just fall apart and I know it’s killing you Right now

Something about/Your love Can’t find the words/To say I’m so caught up/In your ways A moment in time/Always It’s a dream/Can’t ever go back Can’t you see?/I’m lost in the dark Drifting so far/Away Leaving behind/Those days I’m frozen out/They Say Maybe we’ll work/Some day It’s a dream/Can’t ever go back Can’t you see?/I’m lost in the dark It’s a dream/Can’t ever go back Can’t you see?/I’m lost in the dark

I lie awake But I’m not scared I’m falling down But I won’t break I fall in love A big mistake I’m calling out Cause I’m not fine I lie awake But I’m not scared I’m falling down But I won’t break I fall in love A big mistake I’m calling out Cause I’m not fine
