[Verse]
 It was a long time before I could see
It took a lifetime before I could breathe
You’re never perfect 
That’s something that you’ll never be
You’ll never be perfect
Although you expect it to be

[Bridge]
‘Cause I never saw you 
You never saw me
	
[Chorus]
No, there was nothing worth doing
No, there was nothing to see
Nothing means nothing until you can set yourself free

[Verse]
There was a dreamtime a life meant to be
It took you no time to suffocate me
Life’s never easy
Until your life’s pure fantasy
The dream’s never over
Until you find pure ecstasy  

[Bridge]
 ‘Cause I never knew you
You never knew me

[Chorus]
No, it was perfect to have you
No, in a fine cup of tea
Nothing means nothing until you can set yourself free
Nothing means nothing until you can set yourself free

[Verse]
There was a landslide that buried me whole
The years that I tried to rescue my soul
The pain that you caused me is something that you’ll never see
The pain and suffering you did things so secretively

 [Bridge]
 I never loved you
You never loved me

[Chorus]
No, there was nothing worth doing
No, there was nothing to see
Nothing means nothing until you can set yourself free
No, it was perfect to have you
No, in a fine cup of tea
Nothing means nothing until you can set yourself free
Nothing means nothing until you can set yourself free
Nothing means nothing until you can set yourself free

Set Yourself Free 20th Anniversary (feat. Casey Barnes)

Young heart
Been around, crowds that don't know me
Smiles all around, but feeling so lonely
They just chase the hype, but I ain't a trophy
Young heart
Young heart
Silent screams, behind the high-fives
Lost in a maze of their shallow high lives
I found my truth, through a thousand white lies
Young heart
Lone wolf
Tired of that crowd, it's a show though
They were fakin' love, hearts in slow-mo
I just cut 'em off, call it solo
Lone wolf
Lone wolf
Tired of that noise, it's a no go
They don't see the pain, only faux glow
Now I ride my wave, got my own flow
Lone wolf
Solitary kid (kid on his own)
Learning through the tears, emotions are stony
Seeing through the laughs, they all phony
They can keep the crowd, I'd rather be lonely
Solitary kid
Solitary kid
People 'round me, but the space grows
Only by myself, my real self shows
They were never close, despite the close pose
Solitary kid

Soulevise - Lone Wolf

He's got that style (that style)
Smooth talk that works like a charm
Girls line up when he's around (all around)
Yet he's alone (he's alone)
Can't seem to hold someone's arm
With every smile hides a quiet sound
[Verse 1]
Out in the crowd (in the crowd)
He draws them in with just a glance
Yet chance for love just slips away (slips away)
Heart's on display (on display)
But findin' dates just ain't his dance
Seems every night, it's just a play
In his eyes (his eyes)
A hint of hope that's brushed with fear
Wondering if he'll find real love (find real love)
He tries to speak (tries to speak)
But words get caught when they're near
Wishing on stars up above (stars above)
Out in the crowd (in the crowd)
He draws them in with just a glance
Yet chance for love just slips away (slips away)
Heart's on display (on display)
But findin' dates just ain't his dance
Seems every night, it's just a play
He wonders why (wonders why)
What's missing in his sweet appeal
The laughter fades into the night (into the night)
Just one desire (one desire)
For someone's heart he can steal
Someone to hold him when it's right (when it's right)
More from this creator

Heart On Display

Actin' like he’s been a saint
While I’ve been workin', burnin' midnight oil
Eyes wide shut, I can’t deny the pain
Think about it, think about it
My girl’s been lead, into another’s arms
Can’t believe that he's the one doin' harm
He sneaks around (around)
Behind your back, he’s in your space
Think about it, think about it
He breaks the trust
Tell me why he's takin' what is mine
Tell me how he's crossin' every line
I'm left alone, just hauntin' my own home
While he's grinnin', winnin’ with deceitful charm
My heart's ripped out (ripped out)
From every whispered lie he's traced
Think about it, think about it
A Judas kiss, with venomous charm, he blinds
And now I lay (I lay)
Countin' the betrayals in my head
Promises dead, left in the dark
Puzzle of my heart, missing every part
[Pre-Chorus]
Echoes in the hall, they bounce off every wall
Another secret tryst, another name to list
Stretched thin, I bide my time, play the fool
It's a twisted rule, in love's cruel school
His hands, where mine should be (should be)
And I'm the one who told her 'Trust in me' (trust in me)
Think about it, just think about it
[Chorus]
How many heartaches must I stand (must I stand)

Think About It

Eyes tell a story, old soul, so wise
Embracing a love that never says goodbye
[Verse 1]
A tapestry woven from threads of time
My lady's grace, so classic and sublime
Years may mark the seasons, they come and go
But in her gaze, timeless love's all I know
Silver and gold, in your hair and your soul
You’ve lived your stories, now us is the goal
So let them throw shade while we sip our wine
In the grand tapestry, our threads entwine
May-December, it’s more than just weather
Every wrinkle in time brings us closer together
[Bridge: He sings]
In the moonlight
We ageless as the stars align
(Age don't matter at all)
I don't care 'bout the years, you're just fine, oh (No no)
I'm bewitched by the wisdom you bring
You're my all (You're my everything)
Heart be runnin' to a rhythm so true
Through every season, girl, my north star is you
[Verse 2]
With every beat, we define our own prime
Love's not spoken in years, but how it shines
They see the numbers, but we feel the fire
Burning through the judgment, our flame gets higher
In the moonlight
We ageless as the stars align
(Age don't matter at all)
I don't care 'bout the years, you're just fine, oh (No no)
I'm bewitched by the wisdom you bring
You're my all (You're my everything)
She defies every number that marks my days
See, love's heartbeat skips the critics and their nays
[Verse 3]
She whispers hope like a tale from old lore
In her eyes, I find youth I never saw before
Wisdom's pearl in the ocean of her mind
She wears her years like diamonds, so refined

Stars Align

Can't seem to stand, on this shaky ground
Every heartbeat screams, an echoing sound
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I'm reaching out, reaching out in vain
A silent shout, drowning in the rain
Crave your touch but I'm alone
Empty rooms just chill me to the bone
Can somebody save, save my soul
Feels like I'm lost in a pitch-black hole
Got to break free, free from these chains
Got to break free, free from these pains
Crashing down from love
Crashing down from love
Every dream we made, just ashes to dust
The echo of 'us', fading into must
[Pre-Chorus]
Glitter in my veins turned into rust
A galaxy of love imploding to null
Crave your voice but silence takes its toll
This bed's an island, nights so uncontrolled
Can somebody save, save my soul
Feels like I'm lost in a pitch-black hole
Got to break free, free from these chains
Got to break free, free from these pains
Crashing down from love
Crashing down from love
Memories like ghosts in an empty hall
Playing scenes where we had it all
[Pre-Chorus]
Still haunted by your distant face
An enigma lost in time and space
Heartstrings pull but they're wearing thin
On this battlefield, no way to win
Howling wind through the void where hearts collide
Reaching for stars, where our whispers used to hide
[Bridge]
And I'm falling, falling out of your orbit now
I'm a comet, burning out, hear the final bow
In the wreckage of our supernova's glow
Feeling shattered, broken records on the show

Crashing Down

Been working together now for a mighty long time
We've written a lot of songs but we ain't earned a dime
Everybody's telling us we're doin' it wrong
And that is the reason why we've written this song

You've gotta hold on for the rest of your life
You've gotta hold on for the rest of your days
You've gotta hold on for the rest of your life
Cause maybe, somewhere along the way
Someone will stop and say
You're doing well!

Been working so hard now, ain't gettin' no sleep
'Cause we know that success in life don't come cheap
Now we haven't quite made it yet, but we're not gonna stop
We're not gonna give up 'til we reach the top

You've gotta hold on for the rest of your life
You've gotta hold on for the rest of your days
You've gotta hold on for the rest of your life
Cause maybe, somewhere along the way
Someone will stop and say
You're doing well!

Why do we have to be like everybody else?
Why can’t the others see that 
Somewhere along the way, someone will stop to say...
You’re doing well?

Well we finally made it with a number one song
And to all the disbeliever’s we proved you wrong
So make sure you remember what we’re trying to say
'Cause you might be where we’re standing one of these days
Remember...

You've gotta hold on for the rest of your life
You've gotta hold on for the rest of your days
You've gotta hold on for the rest of your life
Cause maybe, somewhere along the way
Someone will stop and say
You're doing well!

Yankee Doodle - You're Doin' Well

It was a long time before I could see
It took a lifetime before I could breathe
You’re never perfect 
That’s something that you’ll never be
You’ll never be perfect
Although you expect it to be

‘Cause I never saw you 
You never saw me
No, there was nothing worth doing
No, there was nothing to see
Nothing means nothing until you can set yourself free

There was a dreamtime a life meant to be
It took you no time to suffocate me
Life’s never easy until your life’s pure fantasy
The dream’s never over until you find pure ecstasy  

 ‘Cause I never knew you
You never knew me
No, there was nothing worth doing
No, there was nothing to see
Nothing means nothing until you set yourself free

There was a landslide that buried me whole
The years that I tried to rescue my soul
The pain that you caused me is something that you’ll never see
The pain and suffering you did things so secretively

  I never loved you
You never loved me
No, there was nothing worth doing
No, there was nothing to see
Nothing means nothing until you can set yourself free
