Texas Album

I don't want a lover
I just need a friend
I don't want a lover
I just need a friend

You can't just leave me
To face life on my own
I know you don't love me no more
I knew this day it would come
Even when it cuts so deep
It's true I still want you
But the harder I try
The more I seem to lose

I don't want a lover
I just need a friend
I've had time to recover
Now that I know it wasn't love

It's always a different story
When it's me who's in the wrong
But you can't have it all
Cause I'm the one who's strong
I've already been burnt before
Once but never again
I know the time will come
That's when you need me then

I don't want a lover
I just need a friend
I've had time to recover
Now that I know it wasn't love

I don't want a lover
I just need a prayer
I know you never cared
Now that I know it wasn't love

You don't even care
About what I'm saying
You don't even think
What you're doing
All you see is what you want it to be
But in there there's just no room for me

I don't want a lover
I just need a friend
I've had time to recover
Now that I know it wasn't love

I don't want a lover
I just need a prayer
I know you never cared

Do I know if you are sleeping
Cause you lie so still and warm
Yeh the darkness and the silence
Wrap around me
Don't hear your cries
That make me sleep so sound
Maybe I've been missing you
I'm been missing you
For so long
If one day you said you were happy
I think your spell would be broken for good
Sometimes I pray
That you are unkind to me

Twenty seconds on the back time
I feel you on the run
Never lived too long to make right
I see you're doing fine
And when I get that feeling
I can no longer slide I can no longer run
And when I get that feeling
I can no longer hide for it's no longer fun

Well, you can say what you want
But it won't change my mind
I'll feel the same about you
And you can tell me your reasons
But it won't change my feelings
I'll feel the same about you

What I am is what you want of me
Now that I'm not there
Took the tables away from you
It's turned that I don't care
And when I get that feeling
I can no longer slide I can no longer run
And when I get that feeling
I can no longer hide for it's no longer fun

I've said goodnight try to sleep tight
Just dream of me
Go close your eyes cause I'll close mine
The sun will shine from time to time

I'm tired of telling the story
Tired of telling it your way
Yeh I know what I saw
I know that I found the floor

Before you take my heart, reconsider
Before you take my heart, reconsider
I've opened the door
I've opened the door

refrain:
Here comes the summer's son
He burns my skin
I ache again
I'm over you

I thought I had a dream to hold
Maybe that has gone
Your hands reach out and touch me still
But this feels so wrong

Before you take my heart, reconsider
Before you take my heart, reconsider
I've opened the door
I've opened the door

refrain

Here comes the winter's rain
To cleanse my skin
I wake again
I'm over you

Before you take my heart, reconsider
Before you take my heart, reconsider
I've opened the door
I've opened the door

Refrain

Here comes the winter's rain
To cleanse my skin
I wake again
I'm over you
I'm over you

Refrain

Here comes the winter's rain
To cleanse my skin
I wake again

There are things
I can't tell you
I love you too much to say
I stand undressed
But I'm not naked
You look at me and who I am

Refrain 2:
Understand that it is hard to tell you
That I've given all I have to give
And I can understand your feelings
But then everybody has a life to live

Refrain:
Once in a lifetime
You have seen what I've seen
You will always swim for shore
Once in my lifetime
I'll never be in between
Some things you just can't ignore

Now reach out
You can touch me
I'll let you have my life to share
Years, the days
And the minutes
Yeh time has such a puzzling grace

Refrain 2

Refrain

I just need to have your love
I just can't say no
It's a gift from way above
I just can't say no
It's the one big difference
If there's one thing I can have

I'm so in love with you
Whether it is right or it's wrong
I'm too weak to be strong
I'm so in love with you
Well you say you need something
To help you when you're down, to take your fears away
Yeh you say you'd do anything
To keep your feet off the ground
And help you on your way
You're all I need
Yeh you are all that I need
I'm so in love with you
I'm so in love with you
Whether it is right or it's wrong
I'm too weak to be strong
I'm so in love with you
When you see your reflection
You say it isn't you
Then you turn the other way
And I'm watching you suffer
Yourself and your pain

No I don't lack ambition
Can't you see what I hate
That it's you who is sinking
Locked behind iron gates
You should know, you're falling into fiction
I can tell you're on, you're on some foolish mission

Your black eyed soul, you should know
That there's nowhere else to go
My black eyed boy you will find
Your own space and time

You call me superstitious,
me up with your deceit
I could never be malicious
Thought I seem so bittersweet
You should know, you're falling into fiction
I can tell you're on some foolish mission

You should know, you're falling into mission

Yeeeaaah I'm gonna make you wonder if you're my friend
Yeeeaaah I'm gonna make you wonder if you're my friend
Yeah that's the way I choose them, all my friends
Do you think you're close with all your promises
Do you think I act strange when you talk to me
It's cause I don't hear you

Yeah I'm gonna make you wonder if you're my friend
Yeah I may as well tell you, you'll never be my friend
Aaah that's the way I choose them, all my friends
The telephone only rings when you've got success
You only want us when we're at our best
But we don't see you, yeaheaheah

It isn't our fault that your life's depressed
We've listened and we've learned
That all of the words that you say
Yeah all of the words that you say
Mean nothing yeaheaheah

Yeah I'm gonna make you wonder if you're my friend
Yeah I'm gonna make you wonder if you're my friend

I just woke up and I can see it now
It's never been this close before
Tried to tell myself I didn't care
Crying out why am I here
There's no point in me hiding
And only now I can see

Everyday now
Everyday now
The blame's gonna fall on me

Something deep inside said move away
Try to leave what's good behind
And I still ask myself
Why I let it go
All these years were wasted time
There's no point in me hiding
And only now I can see

Everyday now
Everyday now
The blame's gonna fall on me

Everyday now
Everyday now
The blame's gonna fall on me

Cause I never told you
That I could never live without it
Now the blame's on me

Everyday now
Everyday now
The blame's gonna fall on me

Everyday now
Everyday now
The blame's gonna fall on me

Everyday now
Everyday now
The blame's gonna fall on me

Cause I never knew the feeling
And it changed me and I never knew

Cause I never knew the feeling

How can I know which way to turn
Between my feelings and my dreams
I'm drowning in tenement oceans
There is more than this

I know that in my heart
I feel like going home again
But, I know that in my heart
I'm scared of what I'll find

It's raining on the kelvin
The rhythms never change
It's like a whisper
A whisper out of range
People can't convince me

I'll say again
I'm not ashamed
So how can I know which way to turn
When I walk on different grounds
No one can tell me
There is more than this

I know that in my heart
I feel like going home again
But, I know that in my heart
I'm scared of what I'll find

I know that in my heart
I want to see another side
But, I know that in my heart
I'm scared of what I'll find

Lord find me, don't turn me away
Lord find me, don't turn me away

I know that in my heart
I want to see another side
But, I know that in my heart
I'm scared of what I'll find

I know that in my heart
I feel like going home again
But, I know that in my heart

Bright light city
You're her religion
Superstars in their own private movie
Play just like children
Lies that take her
Places she's never seen
The kiss and tell of it all
To her seems so obscene
She's so pretty her hair is a mess
We all love her
To that we confess

She has a halo
We really do adore her
For she has a halo
Can we touch her

For her blindness she sees much further
Like on a wide screen viewing going down on her
She's so pretty her hair is a mess
We all love her
To that we confess

She believes in everything
And she believes in nothing in everything

She believes in everything
And she believes in nothing in everything
She believes in everything
And she believes in nothing

She has a halo

I feel bad
And beautiful
In all the strangest places
You feel good
You're sweetest
The weather's changing as I look at your face

Refrain :
Falling
Fall to the floor
Falling
You know we can

Haven't had a dream in such a long time now
It's raining here and all the leaves are on the ground
But I'm safe and warm, outside it's cold and grey
That's my guitar and I will play for you all day

So many songs
In my mind
Maybe less cause I've drunk so much wine
There's light
In your eyes
But out the window it's gone dark outside

Refrain

Haven't had a dream in such a long time now
It's raining here and all the leaves are on the ground
But I'm safe and warm, outside it's cold and grey
That's my guitar and I will play for you all day

Haven't had a dream in such a long time now
It's raining here and all the leaves are on the ground
But I'm safe and warm, outside it's cold and grey
That's my guitar and I will play for you all day

It'll be alright
If you stay tonight

Haven't had a dream in such a long time now
It's raining here and all the leaves are on the ground
But I'm safe and warm, outside it's cold and grey
That's my guitar and I will play for you all day

Haven't had a dream in such a long time now
(it'll be alright)
It's raining here and all the leaves are on the ground
(it'll be alright)
But i'm safe and warm, outside it's cold and grey
(it'll be alright)
That's my guitar and I will play for you all day
(it'll be alright)
That's my guitar and I will play for you all day
(it'll be alright)
That's my guitar and I will play for you all day
(it'll be alright)
That's my guitar and I will play for you all day

All I see is the truth now
That's all I want you to know
That I'll never turn my back on you
And leave you out there on your own
I could never hide my feelings
I could never let you fall
And I want you to remember
All the love that I've found

Oh I say a prayer
A prayer for you
Oh for you

I could never make a promise
I'd only break it in the end
Then you're looking for the answers
You'd never trust in me again
I could never watch you suffer
I could never let you down
And I hope you soon discover
All the truth that I've now found

Oh I say a prayer
A prayer for you
Oh for you

Oh I say a prayer
A prayer for you

Oh, I remember you said can I fight and breathe
So now I always, always hold my breath you see
You're my heaven, you're my spaceman in your shiny shiny suit
I'll send up all my prayers and hope they're understood

Love started making sense
I always make mistakes at my expense
Love has placed a seed
And you're the sun that shines down upon me

refrain:
Yeah when we are together
And when we are apart
There is no space in our hearts
I've got these feelings

It's been too long since I've tried to take the time
So now I'm fallin', fallin' into the sublime
When you brush against a stranger
And you both apologize
And then you see there's some thing you recognize

Love started making sense
I always make mistakes at my expense
Love has placed a seed
And you're the sun that shines down upon me

Are you ready maybe are you willing to run
Are you ready to let yourself drown
Are you holding your breath
Are you ready or not
Are you ready maybe do you long to confess
Do you feel that you're already numb
Are you sure of yourself
Would you lie if you're not
You tire me out don't want to let that happen
A secret scream so loud why did you let that happen

So put your arms around me
You let me believe that you were someone else
Cause only time can take you
So let me believe that I am someone else

Maybe are you ready to break
Do you think that I push you too far
Would you open yourself
Are you reckless or not
You tire me out don't want to let that happen
A secret scream so loud why did you let that happen

So put your arms around me
So put your arms around me
Make me believe
Take me, take me somewhere, somewhere
Let me believe

Verse 1: Method Man
As I walk in da shadow of death
Sixteen men on a deadman's chest
Your host is heat, Mr. H-O-T
And I get ya get splashed with da Tec
Nobody go till da God say so
You got a second or mo'
To run for da door
Before I blow back off da Meth contact
You didn't know Stat
Cook you down like that

Chorus1: Sharleen
And when I get that feeling (Yo, Yo)
I can no longer slide, I can no longer run no no no
And when I get that feeling (Yo, Yo)
I can no longer hide,
for it's no longer fun no no no(All day, every day)

Chorus 2: Sharleen
Yeah, you can say what you want
But it won't change my mind
I'll feel the same, about you
And you can tell me your reasons
But it won't change my feelings
I'll feel the same, about you...

Verse 2: Method Man
See my pinky, see my thumb
See that kid with da pump shotgun
Mr. Meth hold da four most death
Cats is that wrong, songs too long
Mr. Bigmouth could that be trout
You need to diss out, ya style no doubt
Shaolinstra, to da Shaolin slum
Rum- Pom- Pom on my Shaolin drum... Yeah

1x Chorus 1
2x Chorus 2

Sharleen:
I've said goodnight try to sleep tight
(M.M.: 1 time for ya crooked ear, 2 times for ya crooked ear)
Just dream of me
Go close your eyes cause I've closed mine
(M.M.: 3 times for ya crooked ear, 4 times for ya crooked ear)
When you dream of me
