Get A Life

Queen Of Heartbreak - Blues Version

#indie #pop #indiepop #acoustic

Written by Tim Donahue

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

Chorus
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

Verse 2
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

Chorus
So tell me why
Did you leave me standing here?
when It always takes so long 
to accept you're gone
'Round here

So tell me why
Did you leave me standing here when it's always  so long
for the loneliness to be gone 
'round here

Outro
around here
you're not here

Tell Me Why (demo)

Get A Life
Written By Tim Donahue

Faded Streetlights
Ghosts from Our Lives
Blurry Eyed
In the Headlights
Stories told in the Nighttime
Have broke down

You swore our hearts were meant to be one
Look what we started it's over now

Chorus
You're Going to miss me 
When your down and low
Never Knowing Which Way to go
Knocking on your door, Lying on the Floor
I'm Better off without you
She said to Get a Life

Verse 2
In the Cold Light
My Whole world lies
in Sleepless Nights and all those
words they twisted like knives
was I blind?

You tell your friends you have won!
But the truth be told you've come Undone!

Chorus
You're Going to miss me 
When you're down and low
Never Knowing Which Way to Go
Knocking on your door, Lying on the Floor
I'm Better off without you
She said to Get a Life

I said You Get a Life!

Lyrics:

Don’t Give Up Hope

You woke up today
Trying to find hope

Feeling stuck in your head

Heavy thoughts
Can get carried away
They're tangled up in blues

Clouded in your head

Chorus
Now I know what it feels like to be in pain
Life can feel lonely and be such a cruel place
There's beautiful colors in this world of grey
Don't give up hope, let love find the way

Verse 2
Our lives can feel so strained
Stuck in slow motion

Like nothing's gonna change

Erase your doubts

I'm living proof
When life cuts you down

Have faith it turns around

Chorus
Now I can remember feeling such pain
And all the cruel games that life played
I found beautiful colors in our world of shade
Don't give up hope, let love find the way

I can remember wishing life would go away
Trying to resolve all my self hate
I can't imagine losing this life I've made
Don't give up hope time will heal the pain

(Instrumental)

(Chorus)
Now, life's getting better everyday
And all of the bad thoughts they just faded away
I see beautiful colors in the world I've made
So don't give up now let love find a way

I can't remember healing the pain
From all the selfish thoughts that poison my brain
These beautiful colors are what remain
Don't give up hope, let love find the way

All That We Leave Behind
Music & Lyrics: Tim Donahue

How you’re breaking my heart 
Every time I see you look the other way

I thought I meant more 
Than a picture thrown on the floor

it's a cruel twist of fate
To love somebody who can't relate

I should’ve have walked away 
But this foolish heart wants to play 

Chorus
Look now it’s all around us
It’s coming around the bend
Why are we so blinded
Soon we’ll be all that we left behind 

Verse 2
When you're back from the stratosphere 
And see there’s nothing left for us here 

Every breath we take
Becomes a harsh reminder of all our mistakes

I’d try to give more
If your reasons could just be ignored 

Now It’s way too late?
To outrun memories when you already know the fate!

Chorus
Look now it’s all around us
It’s coming around the bend
Why can we be so blinded
Soon we’ll be all that we left behind

All That we Left Behind (Chilled Out Version)

Written By Timothy Donahue

Hey Lady Hey heard you roamed around all over town

Hey Lady Hey, heard you been going down sleeping around

searching for a feeling 

You’ve been so lonely 
Now your free, you want to shout it out
But it’s all you ever do
You tell everyone that I’m still in love with you

But your not listening, no
4 months since I missed you
Now honey 
 I’m so through with you
But Your not listening oh no
Don’t hear a word that I say
Guess I’d be better off dead

Hey Lady Hey, heard you’ve been placing bets all around the town, 

Hey Lady Hey, heard you've been stealing hearts with what you've been doing

it’s just sexual healing

You’ve been so lonely 
Now your free, you want to shout it out
But it’s all you ever do
You tell everyone that I’m still in love with you

But your not listening, no
4 months since I missed you
Now honey 
 I’m so through with you
But Your not listening oh no
Don’t hear a word that I say
Guess I’d be better off dead

All That we Left Behind (demo)

Written By Timothy Donahue

You struggled with addiction 
You’re finding peace from your affliction 
Its not been easy 

Hazy daze would hide infliction 
To Wash away the bad decisions 
So you wouldn’t have to feel 

Broken promises malediction
Fighting for your own convictions 
Its how you healed

Finding solace in others conditions 
A path to a new religion 
You overcame

Chorus
Just seeing who you have Become
Now

To see just where you’ve come
From the past 
to Overcome

Shadows fall on past depictions
The harbinger of cruel evictions
I’m sure its what you feel

Hope begins its new sedition 
Delivering Love is your new mission
So others can heal

Chorus
Just seeing who you have Become
Now

I’m so proud of everything you’ve done 
To overcome

Overcome (demo)

Overcome

You struggled with addiction 
You’re finding peace from your affliction 

Hazy daze would hide infliction 
To Wash away the bad decisions 

Broken promises malediction
Fighting for your own contrition

A path for a new religion 

Chorus
Just seeing who you have Become
Now

To see just where you’ve come
From the past

Shadow falls on past depictions
The harbinger of cruel evictions

Hope begins its new sedition 
Delivering Love is your new mission
So others can heal

To overcome 

Ending
Keeping Promises an addiction
Fighting for your own convictions

Its how you healed

Overcome (Acoustic Unplugged)

Hardest Part (demo version)

Written by Tim Donahue

Remember 
our hometown
A place we left
Proud we come from

Our Hopes and Dreams
Shape our destinies
Were they meant to be
Light as far as the eye could see

Our fearless hearts, 
So young and bold
Our Endless Dreams
Were in our control

Our wildest dreams 
So young and free
The endless days and
possibilities

Chorus 

tell me what have we done? 
And tell me where have all the years gone
Weren’t we supposed to be someone 
And I wonder
Where have all the dark horses gone?

Sometimes our best
Didn’t live up to the rest
We tried so hard
But it brought unrest 

The road is long
All we’ve said and done 
Do we Question 
what we've chosen

Our tired heart 
With faded dreams
Get pushed to the side
Life’s reality 

With broken hearts 
And broken dreams 
There was always time
Or so it seemed 

But now tell me what have we done? 
And tell me where have all the years gone
Weren't we supposed to be someone 
And I wonder
Where have all the dark horses gone?
