There is one thing that I would die for
It's when you say: "My life is in your hands"
'Cause when you're near me your love is all I need
Now I can't imagine

What do you want from me
It's not how it used to be
You've taken my life away
Ruining everything

What do you want from me (sha-la la la la-la la)
It's not how it used to be (sha-la la la la-la la)
You've taken my life away (sha-la la la la-la la)
Ruining everything (sha-la la la la-la la)

Give me something I can rely on
Far away from the life that I once knew
What does it matter, that's all I have to say
And I can't imagine

What do you want from me
It's not how it used to be
You've taken my life away
Ruining everything

What do you want from me
It's not how it used to be
You've taken my life away
Ruining everything

Sha-la la la la-la la
Sha-la la la la-la la
Sha-la la la la-la la
Sha-la la la la-la la

(BREAK)

What do you want from me (sha-la la la la-la la)
It's not how it used to be (sha-la la la la-la la)
You've taken my life away (sha-la la la la-la la)
Ruining everything (sha-la la la la-la la)
(REPEAT TO FADE)

Everyday
I keep on lying to you
I just don't know what to do but I do
So leave me alone
I just wanna stay here at home
So far away from whatever
Some might say or some might do

Just as I thought
I've found someone that needs me
Someone that needs me so much
And just as before
It's that someone who needs me
Someone I needed so much

But it's you
Spinning me out of control
Hurting me deep in my soul
Or so I'm told,
I just wanna stop
'Cos nothing's as bad as it seems and
I can't be bothered so stay a while and tell me what it mean's.

Just as I thought
I'd found someone that needs me
Someone that needs me so much
And just as before it's that someone who needs me
Someone I needed so much

Now I'll tell you the truth
'Bout what I should do,
Why I can't stand you no more
There's a time and a place
And my life's such a waste and
Everything had to go wrong
It's just what I needed.

Just as I thought
I'd found someone that needs me
Someone that needs me so much
And just as before it's that someone who needs me
Someone I needed so much

Tell it to your sister
Tell it to your brother
Just how much you missed them
Why you don't even bother
Could this be the same love
We shared with one another
Always been a cut above
You know it's gonna be alright

Tell me what's in your mind
I know that you're trying to help me
But I just can't find
A way to get out of this love

Can't you see
That it feels so unreal

Tell it to your sister
Tell it to your brother
Just how much you missed them
Why you don't even bother
Could this be the same love
We shared with one another
Always been a cut above
You know it's gonna be alright

Help me 'cos I'm going down
And now that I've got a good reason
I'm taking the easy way out
But I'll never get out of this love

Can't you see
It's got to be so unreal

Gotta find a way to get out
Turning my whole world upside down
When you realise you'll find the time
And everything will work out just fine

Every day I sit down and wait
Should've know I'd left it too late
I've seen you cry and realise
That everything will just work out fine

CHORUS
So let love always shine on
Turn the light on 'til everyone goes blind
And we'll just stay together
Make it better all the time

Did you say that love has its price?
Paying with the time of our lives
It's not a crime so realise
That everything will work out alright

Strip away your hopes and your fears
Drowning in the tracks of my tears
Stop the lies and dry your eyes
And everything will work out alright

CHORUS
CHORUS

Just for a day
I'll slip away
'Cause there's nothing left
And it's all such a mess
And I can't recall
Any good times at all

CHORUS
CHORUS

When I feel so insecure
And it all seems so unsure
And my mind is miles away

When im down and can't get up
And I've just run out of luck
And theres nothing else to say

And all the while, you keep me holding on
Though I feel like my life is nearly gone

And when life seems so upsurd
And everyone has heard
'Bout something you should die for

So scary though it seems
That you leave your life in dreams
And there's nothing left to cry for

Thought I look at you and know that you're the one
All I want to say is our life has just begun

(Free me)
(Free me)
(Free me)
(Free me)

Why can't you see
That this is how our love was meant to be?
I'll never understand why you're putting me down
Ruining everything
And when I'm looking into your eyes
I see someone I've grown to despise
There isn't any point in me hanging around
Living the life I live

BRIDGE
I told you once, but you misunderstood
I never gave up, though, I did all I could
I can't believe what you're putting me through
I did all I had to do

CHORUS
Just when it's out of reach (free me)
Everybody needs to love (free me)
But that's how it's got to be (free me)
What everybody wants is love (free me)
Don't turn your back on me (free me)
Everybody needs to love (free me)
That's how it's got to be (free me)
It's too late now, and you've got to be free (free me)

Hard to believe
The way you always try and deceive
There isn't any point in me hanging around
I'm sick of the way I feel
Am I the only one who'll regret
The things you always try to forget?
Why is it always life ends up dragging you down
Coloring everything?

Each day I live
I have so much to say
But words don't flow as good as they should

Each day I live
Is such a game to play
I'll take my time and give it a chance today

I don't know why
I seem to fall to these things
But love can't live then just disappear

I'll try to speak
There is so much to say
But words don't flow as good as they should

(Holly)
(Holly) (love)
(Holly)

I'm not proud of what I've done
Broke the rules up just for fun
It's gotta be easier
Than what it was before

I could walk a million miles
With nobody by my side
It's gotta be easier
Than it ever was before
So I'm walking out the door forever

VERSE 3
So just wait 'til I'm far and out of sight
You have your life, I'll have mine
It's gotta be easier
Than what was before

VERSE 4
I've got nowhere left to hide
Feel this emptiness inside
It's gotta be easier
Than it ever was before
So I'm walking out the door forever

Couldn't ever bring myself to deceive
But it's all the same to me
It was never meant to be
And I guess it'll be the same for everyone

VERSE 3

(Don't play with me)
(Don't stay with me)

CHORUS 1
Don't play with me (don't stay with me)
Unless it's for real (unless it's for real)
Don't stay with me (don't play with me)
Unless it's for real (unless it's for real)

All I had
Was one sure thing
In my life
I lost it all
But I just couldn't see
A reason to believe
If only I could try
And start again

BRIDGE
In my mind I live in California
In my mind I spent some time with you
I watch the Sun light up the ocean
I sit and pray that all my dreams come true

CHORUS 2
So don't play with me
Unless it's for real
So don't stay with me
Unless it's for real

Here I stand
And here I fall
A clear blue sky
Looks down on me
And this once tender man
Has done the best he can
But just can't find a way
To start again

BRIDGE
CHORUS 2

I'll take a chance
Give me one more try
A second glance
Make me realise
That all I need
Is a master plan
And find a world
That can understand

CHORUS 2
CHORUS 1

So don't play with me

(In other words, it was don't play with me, alright)

I'm high on a hill
I watch as the day begins
It seems such a thrill
I'll never come down
I sit here and wait
Just dreaming my life away
And though I try and hide the pain
Some things are never gonna change

CHORUS
So let the violence begin
If we can fight then we can win
We'll share the love
That's in our hearts and in our souls
So let the violence begin
If we can fight then we can win
We'll share the love
That's in our hearts and in our souls

I'll take my time
Think about everything
And the fool on the hill
Can't take anymore
And now that I know
I swear I'll never let you go
But the sunshine brings the rain
And then it's time to start again

CHORUS

And now, I'm alone with you
Oh, yes, that's why I'm so alone and blue
I feel like dying
I feel like dying
No matter what I do or say
I'm gonna do it to you anyway
I feel like dying
I feel like dying

CHORUS
