[Verse 1]
You struggled with addiction
Finding peace from your affliction
(It hasn't been easy)
Hazy days would hide infliction
To wash away the bad decisions
(So you wouldn't have to feel)
Broken promises, malediction
Fighting for your own contrition
(It's how you heal)
Finding solace in others' conditions
Pathway to a new religion
(You overcame)

[Chorus]
(Ooh-ooh)
Just seeing who you've become now
(Ooh-ooh)
To see just where you've come
From the past to overcome

[Verse 2]
From shadows fallen on past depictions
The harbinger of cruel evictions
(it's how you deal)

Hope begins it's new sedition
Delivering love is your new mission
So others can heal

[Chorus]
(Ooh-ooh)
Just seeing who you've become now
(Ooh-ooh)
To see just where you've come
From the past to overcome

[Chorus]
(Ooh-ooh)
Just seeing who you've become now
(Ooh-ooh)
To see just where you've come
From the past to overcome
(Ooh-ooh)
Just seeing who you've become
(Ooh-ooh)
To see just where you've come
Im proud of everything you've done
To overcome 
 
Outro
Keeping promises an addiction
Fighting for your own conviction

It’s how you healed

Overcome

Yesterday
Seems so long ago
Today
I'm just not the same
Oh but what I wouldn't give
For a moment with you

So tell me why
Did you leave me standing here
Don't you know it takes so long for the heart to move on
Round here

Yesterday
I had some faith
But today
I still see your face
It's inside of me
And what I wouldn't give
For a moment with you

So tell me why
Did you leave me standing here
It always takes so long to believe you are gone
Round here

So tell me why
Did you leave me standing here
It always takes so long for this loneliness to be gone
Round here

Tell Me Why

[Verse 1]
This past year has been a tough one
It's been one year since you went away
I can still hear you laughing
It feels this heart with empty space

[Pre-Chorus]
Just the other night thought I heard you say

[Chorus]
Don't worry now you still think of us
Don't worry now you still believe in us
There's a love that won't go away
It's a love from the cradle to the grave

[Verse 2]
You're not here time won't fade away
It's left within our hearts in a special place
I can still find grace in all our yesterdays
It fills this heart with so much pain

[Pre-Chorus]
Just the other night thought I heard you say

[Chorus]
Don't worry now you still think of us
Don't worry now you still believe in us
There's a love that won't go away
It's a love from the cradle to the grave

[Instrumental]

[Pre-Chorus]
Just the other night thought I heard you say

[Outro]
Life must go on (ooh)
Life must go on (ooh)
Life must go on (ooh)
(ooh)

Don't Worry Now

Why can't the good things happen to me?
Won't you tell me why does it seem life is missing the need I need?
[Chorus]
Oh, and tell me when I came back down from the pain
Where were you when the tears fell down like the rain?
You didn't know that I still missed you
I still missed you

How come our lives, they can't be easier?
Won't you tell me why does it seem life is missing the need, I need?

Oh, and tell me when I came back down from the pain
Where were you when the tears fell down like the rain?
You didn't know that I still missed you
I still missed you

Oh, God, won't you help me, please?
Make this life a little bit easier
She didn't even turn back
Now my whole world is just turned black
It's just gone black

Won't you tell me?
Won't you tell me?
Won't you tell me why can't the good things happen to me?
Won't you tell me why does it seem life is missing the need I need?
Oh, and tell me when I came back down from the pain
Where were you when the tears fell down like the rain?
You didn't know that I still missed you
I still missed you

I don't need a single word
Don't need to tell me how much you love me
I already know
Little things that you show me now

These are my words
I want to tell the world
What you mean to me
And everything you do
I'm so in love with you
When the world is gray
You take my fears away
With every breath I take

I don't need a single word
Don't need to tell me how much you love me
Cause I already know
Little things you do that show me now

These are my words
I want to tell the world
What you mean to me
And everything you do
I'm so in love with you
When the world is gray
Take my fears away
With every breath I take

With every breath I take
(Every breath I take)
With every breath I take

You take my breath away

This is My Song for You

How Was I Supposed to Know (Alt Version)

Written by Tim Donahue

You
Got me singing the blues
All night and day
In every way
You
Never gave me half a chance
To show you all the love
That I could give to you

[Chorus]
And I guess I'll never know
The reasons why you let me go
If there was a reason
How was I supposed to know
How was I supposed to know

Now
I can't take this off my mind
Days seem to take more time
And you
You just started to prove
To know what it means
To be so messed up and alone

[Chorus]
And I guess I'll never know
The reasons why you let me go
If there was a reason
How was I supposed to know
How was I supposed to know

When it’s my time to go
Will you be here with me 
Like the old weeping willow tree
Will you sit quietly
Will you think of memories
Will my light shine brightly 

Did I live my life right?
Did I put up a good fight?
Did I live in truth?
Did I inspire others into the light?

When it’s my time to go
Will you be here with me 
Like the old weeping willow tree
Will you sit with me quietly
Will you think of our memories
Will my light shine brightly 
When you look back and think of me
Was it a good life?
Will the angels await me 

Did I tread on paths of gold and gray?
Did I chase the dream, and not drift away?
Did my heart beat pure and true?
Did I sow seeds of light?  

When it’s my time to go
Will you be here with me 
Like the old weeping willow tree
Will you sit with me quietly
Will you think of our memories
Will my light shine brightly 
When you look back and think of me
Was it a good life?
Will the angels await me
