I’ve been searching, can’t seem to find my way
Seems the nights get darker each and every day
This time I’ve wandered too far from home
Friends all around me, but I feel alone
I feel lost and broken, bent out of place
Shall I stay, or do you need some space
Different means all lead to the same end
How can we even try to pretend
I need a secondhand heart
Only slightly ripped apart
I need someone who will always be around
Unrequited from the start
Feel I was born to play the part
Give me someone who will never let me down
Sure I don’t miss what was missing
But oh how I miss kissing you (of course I do)
I miss your lips, your hips, your thighs
Miss the sparkle of your eyes
I know it’s gone now but I don’t know why
How did this become of me
How was I too blind to see
That the one you loved was no longer me
Was my heart in your hands just a pawn
Feelings faded like the night at dawn
Where was it that we went wrong
How am I supposed to heal
When I don’t know what it is I feel
Was it really ever real
I know kindness is contagious
So come on be courageous
Give your love away
With a secondhand heart
Only slightly ripped apart
Gotta somehow get my feet back on the ground
Unrequited from the start
No one’s born to play that part
Just find someone who will never let you down
Don’t let me down

Safe

Here I sing just trying to express
In the way I hope that I do best
All these ideas, they are floatin’ round
Trying to keep one, I gotta choke it down
Still I’m not saying that I feel fine
About the way you waste your precious time
Transitory, just like shooting stars
All the deepest wounds seem to leave no scars
Do you believe you’re safe from me?
Be what you want to be
All I want is for us to remain
Times are tough, and love it is always rough
You give your all, but your all is not enough
Like a book on tape, digital escape
Won’t you be my TV-dinner date
Culture satiated with celebrity
All trying to look like the models in the magazines
Where normallacy is the fallacy
Why can’t we make this dream reality
See things as they are
Not as we’d like them to be
But as they were
Were they really
Do you believe you’re safe from me?
See what you want to see
All I want is for us to remain
Do you believe you’re safe from me?
All I want is to believe
That what was lost just might be regained

Start Anew

Come on make me feel like I believe
A blind man once, but now I see
Oh you set me free
Won’t you set me free
Come on make me feel like I belong
To feel like this just can’t be wrong
And if you say you want me to
I’ll spend my life with you
Oh to be with you
With you I’ll start anew
Together forever and a day
For you I’ll find a way
Carry on my wayward one
From behind the clouds bring forth the sun
And with you I’ll start again
Both my love and my best friend
You make me feel like I’m alive
And for you I’ll take the dive
Oh to be with you
With you I’ll start anew
And if you just say the word
Sweetest voice I’ve heard
It cuts right to my heart
We will never part
And after all is said and done
My dear, my only one
Come aboard my sweetest friend
On this trip that never ends
Ocean of love strong and true
Rolling waves brought me to you
You make me feel like I believe
Once a blind man now I see
What you’ve done for me
And how you’ve set me free
Now I know where I belong
And to you I sing this song
How happy we will be
Come away with me
And if you say you want me to
I’ll spend my life with you
Oh to be with you
With you I’ll start anew

Who Cares

Just cause you love her
Doesn’t mean she cares
I know you love her
But it doesn’t mean that there’s
Not another
Doesn’t mean she cares
Just cause you want him
Doesn’t mean he cares
Although you want him
I know that it’s not fair
Just cause you want him
Doesn’t mean he cares
Chorus:
Seems we always want what we’ve not got
And what we’ve got we cannot want till it’s gone
We want the truth but need the lie
If we love enough, we’ll change their mind
Just cause you need them
It doesn’t mean they care
Even though you love them
It doesn’t mean they share
The same convictions
Doesn’t mean they care
Chorus
Sometimes it’s just not to be
But still you pray and you believe
That I’ll love you, cause you love me
That I’ll love you, cause you love me
Seems we always want what we’ve not got
And what we’ve got we cannot want till it’s gone
If you could only open up your eyes
You'd know you’ll never change their mind
You know you’ll never change their mind
