I accidentally read the news again
and it looks like the bad guys are gonna win
there's a lot you shouldn't think about if you want it to make sense
turns out the wolves are sheep who just pretend

I spend my days watching them pass
while I tap dance barefoot on broken glass
bad days with you are better than my best days were before
so I smile through the pain & dance once more

I keep your picture on my wall 
to remind me there is beauty in it all
when it seems the world is not so beautiful 

these strangers keep on saying strange things
while this clown is acting funny toward me
and confusion is a language that I'm learning all too well
but your smile is my Heaven in this hell

I keep your picture on my wall 
to remind me there is beauty in it all
when it seems the world is not so beautiful 

spring seems like a memory
if it's not too hot it's too cold with no inbetween
mercury's in retrograde more than it used to be
but the stars align anytime you smile at me

I keep your picture on my wall 
to remind me there is beauty in it all
when it seems the world is not so beautiful

'Change Your Mind'

There's lots of things you cannot change
But you can always change your mind
An Eye for an eye somebody said
Will leave the whole world blind
If you lay down the weight of all that hate
You'd be surprised at what you find
There's lot of things you cannot change
But you can always change your mind
Change your mind

There's lots of things you cannot do
But you can always do what's right
I'm sure you've got a point to prove
But it ain't always worth the price
Sometimes the way to keep a friend
Is to walk away from a fight
There's lots of things you cannot do
But you can always do what's right
Do what's right

There's lots of things you cannot know
But you can always know yourself
Specifically uniquely you
That can't be nobody else
That thinks your thoughts & says your words
& helps the way you help
There's lots of things you cannot know,
But you can always know yourself
Know yourself

There's lots of things you cannot change
But you can always change your mind
An Eye for an eye somebody said
Will leave the whole world blind
If you lay down the weight of all that hate
You'd be surprised at what you find
There's lot of things you cannot change
But you can always change your mind
Change your mind

There are lots of things you cannot change
Change your mind

Time I spent anticipating
Things that really weren't worth creating
I don't need it anymore
Time I spent regretting doing
Things that weren't worth my pursuing
I can't use it anymore

U can have it I don't need it
I don't need it where I'm going
Where I'm going I don't need it anymore
U can have it I don't need it
I don't need it where I'm going
Where I'm going I can't use it anymore

Time I cried for fear I'd lose
People who were never true
I don't need it anymore
Time I lost trying to please
Someone who was less than me
I can't use it anymore

U can have it I don't need it
I don't need it where I'm going
Where I'm going I don't need it anymore
U can have it I don't need it
I don't need it where I'm going
Where I'm going I can't use it anymore


Going 2 a place
Where there'll be no more crying
Going 2 a place where there'll be no more dying
Going 2 a place
Where there'll be no more crying
Going 2 a place where there'll be no more dying

U can have it I don't need it
I don't need it where I'm going
Where I'm going I don't need it anymore
U can have it I don't need it
I don't need it where I'm going
Where I'm going I can't use it anymore

It Would Be Yours

In the light of the rising sun I see
You the way you truly be
And it still amazes me 
That I could now be yours
A storybook reality
A dream I'd only dared to dream
A lonely schoolboy's fantasy
Coming true as I am yours

And if Heaven was an earthly place
It would be yours, it would be yours
And if angels songs could have a face
It would be yours It would be yours
If a smile could light the darkest space
It would be yours, it would be yours
If love was clothed in human flesh
It would be yours

And if Heaven was an earthly place
It would be yours, it would be yours
And if angels songs could have a face
It would be yours It would be yours
If a smile could light the darkest space
It would be yours, it would be yours
If love was clothed in human flesh
It would be yours

In the light of the rising sun I see
You the way you truly be
And it still amazes me 
That I could now be yours
A storybook reality
A dream I'd only dared to dream
A lonely schoolboy's fantasy
Coming true as I am yours

It Would Be Yours

With Every Break In My Heart

Spent a long time sleepwalking
wishing on distant stars
Til I moved to a daydream
where the stars ain't that far
I paid for the privilege 
with every break in my heart

I paid for the privilege
With every break in my heart
I won't ask for permission
Not to be who you are
Cos I paid for the privilege
With every break in my heart

Took a long trip through lonely
Seeking love near and far
Till the morning love whispered
'I've always known where you are
And boy, you've paid for the privilege
With every break in your heart'

I paid for the privilege
With every break in my heart
I won't ask for permission
Not to be who you are
I paid for the privilege
With every break in my heart

If you see me walk calmly
While the world falls apart
Unaffected by people
and who they think they are
See I paid for the privilege
With every break in my heart

I paid for the privilege
With every break in my heart
I won't ask for permission
Not to be who you are
Cos I paid for the privilege
With every break in my heart

Believe It Or Not

Too soon I lose sight of the things that I most should be saying
Assuming you know all the time that my feelings don't change
It's time you collect for the hell that I'm sure you've been paying
can't even the score but I'm taking the time out to say

Believe it or not 
I just wanted to write you a love song
Just leave my concerns, my beliefs somewhere else
For awhile
Believe it or not I just wanted to tell you I love you
Remind you just once that what matters the most is your smile

The look in your eyes and the warmth of you hand
On my shoulder
Starts violins playing the angels all kneel down to pray
Can't say if I could love you more than I do at this moment
But I can say that I love you more than I did yesterday

Believe it or not 
I just wanted to write you a love song
Just leave my concerns, my beliefs somewhere else
for awhile
Believe it or not I just wanted to tell you I love you
Remind you just once that what matters the most is your smile

If there's a Heaven above
It can't compare to the love
I feel when I see your smile
If there's a hell below
That's where I'd surely go
If you ever said goodbye
If there's a Heaven above
It can't compare to the love
I feel when I see your smile
If there's a hell below
That's where I'd surely go
If you ever said goodbye

Believe it or not 
I just wanted to write you a love song

Believe It Or Not

Nothing

How do I give my all to you
When nothing's all there is
How do I share my life with you
When I've forgotten how to live
And what do you see that you think you need
In the if only's and could have beens
How do I give my all to you
When nothing's all there is?

Insecurity 
caused from insincerity
of the people who said that they care
A number done on me
By the ones that I believe
Understatement to say I am unprepared
love blindsided me
shined down on a hiding me
There's not much here, just a dark and empty room
And some broken things around
But there's something that you've found
That you see as a potential home for you

How do I give my all to you
When nothing's all there is
How do I share my life with you
When I've forgotten how to live
And what do you see that you think you need
In the if only's and could have beens
How do I give my all to you
When nothing's all there is?

Hello Delusion

Hello delusion my old friend
Looks like I’ll live with you again
Seems like the only way a boy can win
Delusion here we go again.
Hello delusion, hello delusion my old friend.

Hello denial, stay with me 
Pretending life's not on repeat 
I find my comfort in your fanstasies
Denial, deny everything 
Hello denial, hello denial, stay with me

Hello avoidance my default
keeping me busy round the clock
Just finding things to do until the day I drop
Avoidance help me not to stop
Hello avoidance Hello avoidance my default

Whatever gets u through
that's what u got to do

Incomplete

The word on the street is
You're missing me
Don't you mean that
You're missing exploiting my insecurity
All I know is the further I get from you
The closer I get to me
I'm in control 
But incomplete

While you were too much of a coward
To acknowledge publicly
I was too much of a fool to
Admit the void was increasing
And times alone with you
Were the loneliest times for me
So in love
So incomplete

Well, just so you know
I'm doin' fine
I haven't yet died
Or completely lost my mind
And nobody's telling me
the things I'll never be
I'm finally free
But incomplete

If there's a smile on my face
You know the rest

JOY

Sadness
Melt away like snow
Hatred
Let the people go
Sorrow
Grant a goodbye kiss
Joy
Become all that is

In a land we'll call 'Confusion'
Hatred sings her siren song
Inviting all who hear her
To join & sing along
But greater if you listen
Is a song you've always known
We are all orphans of Eden
Trying to find our way back home

Sadness
Melt away like snow
Hatred
Let the people go
Sorrow
Grant a goodbye kiss
Joy
Become all that is

There's a better day tomorrow
Just hold on and keep the faith
There's a better day tomorrow
Just hold on and keep the faith
On earth as it is in Heaven
That's how it's gonna be someday

What I'd say

A Better Day Tomorrow (25 version)

There's a better day tomorrow
It's been nighttime much too long
There's a better day tomorrow
It's been nighttime much to long
You can tell the Son is coming
It's aways darkest before Dawn

Now Play

There's a better day tomorrow
You can make it if you try
(You can make it if you try)
There's a better day tomorrow
You can make it if you try
(You can make it if you try)
When it looks like you won't get there
You walk by faith and not by sight

There's a better day tomorrow
Take my hand, let's make it so
There's a better day tomorrow
Take my hand, lets make it so
Love calls us to revolution
And when Love calls, you've got to go

Don't you know?
Don't you know?

(You can make it if you try)
(You can make it if you try)

There's a better day tomorrow
Take my hand, let's make it so
There's a better day tomorrow
Take my hand, lets make it so
Love calls us to revolution
And when Love calls, you've got to go
Gotta go
