Lene Marlin Album

Tell me what you saw that was so bad
Tell me all the reasons
Why you made me so sad
I wish that I was like you,
And I'm sorry that I'm not
At least I still have hope,
I guess that's all I've got

I know you must be happy
Thrilled that I'm not there
Yet I know that I will make it,
Make it good for me out here
And soon I will be smiling,
Everything will be okay
I'll not worry anymore,
that will be my lucky day

I wish that you'd seen something
Special 'bout me too
That you would think of something else,
Not just the way I look to you
I don't see what you see,
How different can I be
And why does it really matter,
I'm just being me

I know you must be happy
Thrilled that I'm not there
Yet I know that I will make it,
Make it good for me out here
And soon I will be smiling,
Everything will be okay
I'll not worry anymore,

If I got scared I don't know
It just didn't feel right anymore
Something's changed from before, I wish I knew
I did not want to hurt you, I don't want to still
But I'll be around, you know I will
I just have to face the day
Now all I can say

All I can say is, I need more
All I can say is, I'm so sorry for
The promises I made to you
What I said I would do

I could make it all good
I could say that I'd try
But that would be a lie, you don't deserve
I got lost in the moment,
I was lost in you
I tried to ignore it, but then I had to
Had to face the day
Now all I can say

All I can say is, I need more
All I can say is, I'm so sorry for
The promises I made to you
What I said I would do

And I'm hoping that you can forgive me,
And I'm praying that you don't think less of me
And I'm Hoping that you, will see it too
See that it is for the better

All I can say is, I need more
All I can say is, I'm so sorry for
The promises I made to you

What have I done?
What if it's too late now?
Did I do all I could, did I?
Did I make it good, did I?

Somehow it doesn't feel right
Is it really all over?
Did I think it through, did I?
What if all I want is you?

And now
I won't see you again
The moment was there but we lost it
Time changed it all
And we let it
We let it happen

And now
I wonder how it would be
If things stayed the same and we liked it
The end of a search 'cos we found it
How would it be?
How would it be?
How would it be?
How would it be?

What have we done?
What if it's too late now?
Was it always like this, was it?
Was it something we missed, was it?

Somehow it doesn't feel right
Is it really all over?
Was it all it could be, was it?
Did I give you the best of me?

And now
I won't see you again
The moment was there but we lost it
Time changed it all
And we let it
We let it happen

And now
I wonder how it would be
If things stayed the same and we liked it
The end of a search 'cos we found it
How would it be?
How would it be?
How would it be?
How would it be?

And now
I won't see you again
The moment was there but we lost it
Time changed it all
And we let it
We let it happen

And now
I wonder how it would be
If things stayed the same and we liked it
The end of a search 'cos we found it

How would it be?
How would it be?
How would it be?

I can speak about the pain you know
What you say you didn't see
I can show you all my scars you know
The ones I keep inside of me

Would that make it easier
Or would it be the same

Sorry that I could not be
As perfect as you wanted me
Just wondering what's going on in your mind
I sure hope you're fine
I hope your conscience is clear
Hope you're happy

I can tell about the times you know
When I wished to leave this world
I can read to you the letters I wrote
All the words you say you've never heard

Sorry that I could not be
As perfect as you wanted me
Just wondering what's going on in your mind
I sure hope you're fine
I hope your conscience is clear
Hope you're happy

Sorry that I could not be
As perfect as you wanted me
Just wondering what's going on in your mind
I sure hope you're fine
I hope your conscience is clear
Hope you're happy

Sorry that I could not be
As perfect as you wanted me
Just wondering what's going on in your mind
I sure hope you're fine
I hope your conscience is clear

What if I don't wanna move on
If I like it as it is
Wanna keep it like this, for a while...forever
Just let me lie close to you
Don't wanna let you go, don't wanna let you go

If I said I want you, if I said I need you
If I said I love you, what would you do
If I said I want you, if I said I need you
If I said I love you, what would you do

What if I don't wanna forget
Don't want anyone but you
Believe me, it's true, for a while...forever
Just let me stay here with you
I don't wanna leave, I don't wanna leave

If I said I want you, if I said I need you
If I said I love you, what would you do
If I said I want you, if I said I need you
If I said I love you, what would you do

And I thought I could, let this go
I thought I would, but now I know
Now I know...

If I said I want you, if I said I need you
If I said I love you, what would you do
If I said I want you, if I said I need you

Now I really cannot see,
If you were good for me at all
I wanna say, that everything's fine,
But it's not… but it's not
All the times you made me stay,
I see it all so clear today
And I wish I could
Turn back time… turn back time

If I had a choice
I'd leave all behind
If I had a choice
I'd make you leave my mind
Leave my mind

The things you had me do
Everytime you knew I would
I wanna say, that I was aware
But I can't… but I can't
All you tried to take away
I see it all so clear today
And I feel like a fool
I let myself down… let myself down

If I had a choice
I'd leave all behind
If I had a choice
I'd make you leave my mind
Leave my mind

And you begged me to trust you
I wish I never did
And you begged me to trust you
I wish I never did

If I had a choice
I'd leave all behind
If I had a choice
I'd make you leave my mind

I miss those times,
I miss those days
When you were around,
in so many ways
And it felt so safe,
and I was glad.
But now something's changed,
That makes me sad

And I, was waiting patiently,
But you never came
I realize it now, won't ever be the same… again
Won't ever be the same… again

If you're doing fine,
I don't know
You see, I gave up calling
long time ago
Haven't heard from you,
I guess that means
That I'm no good no more,
that's what it seems

And I, was waiting patiently,
But you never came
I realize it now, won't ever be the same… again
Won't ever be the same… again

You see, I gave up waiting – for you to care
You're not there,
and I wonder if you… ever were

And I, was waiting patiently,
But you never came
I realize it now, won't ever be the same… again

Did you know,
hidden by his clothes there are some scars
Some are recent,
some have been there for years
Did you know
It doesn't even hurt
It never really hurts, but there are tears

Do you want the real story,
or do you prefer the lie
Do you want to see him smile,
or maybe see him cry
Do you want to follow,
or let him go alone
For then, never to know… never to know

Have you seen the way he acts sometimes
And when you ask,
he'll say that he's okay.
Have you seen how well he pretends
Laughs out loud,
before he looks away

Do you want the real story,
or do you prefer the lie
Do you want to see him smile,
or maybe see him cry
Do you want to follow,
or let him go alone

She could have, when she's had a chance to miss him
She could have kissed him, and you never would have known
She could have, when he asked if there is someone else
She could have said there's no one else, and you never would have known

Her eyes are closed, all she sees is your face
All she needs is your touch, is that asking too much
She'll take you to that place,
Where nothing would feel better,
Just knowing that you're with her

She could have, when he asked to hold her hand
She could have given him her hand, and you never would have seen
What would happen if she did so,
What the ending would be like

Her eyes are closed, all she sees is your face
All she needs is your touch, is that asking too much
She'll take you to that place,
Where nothing would feel better,
Just knowing that you're with her

And in a way you're with her
In a way you never left her
But she misses you still, she misses you still

Her eyes are closed, all she sees is your face
All she needs is your touch, is that asking too much
She'll take you to that place,
Where nothing would feel better,

I wish I could,
Sit here all alone
Thinking this is okay
Don't need anybody tonight,
Just complete silence and the candle light
And I'd drink my coffee,
Wouldn't worry at all... wouldn't worry at all

I would feel fine
Like I always do
I would be smiling
Laughing too
Don't need anybody,
Least of all you
And then I would convince myself it's true
It's true

I wish I could,
Stare at the wall
And see something different everytime
Everytime
The candle wouldn't stop burning
I could lay down,
And I wouldn't be crying

I would feel fine
Like I always do
I would be smiling
Laughing too
Don't need anybody,
Least of all you
And then I would convince myself it's true

I thought I did everything right
I thought I treated you,
The best way I know how
But where do I find myself now
Where do I find myself now
I look around,
And my friend you're gone,
What did I do wrong

I wish I could say
that if you change you're mind I'm here
that if you call for me, I'm there
if you're hurting, I'll run fast
forget about the past
I'll be right by your side
Be right by your side

I thought you cared for real
I thought that I was good to you,
And made you smile a lot
But this is what I've got
I look around,
And my friend you are gone,
I guess you've been for long

I wish I could say
That if you change you're mind I'm here
That if you call for me, I'm there
If you're hurting, I'll run fast
Forget about the past
I'll be right by your side
