1 / Both Worlds
Close your eyes
And try to imagine
All of the feelings I hide
Hide from you
Just never thought of starting
Something new

Can't you see
I'm trying to find a future
For you and me
I'm on my own
But sick and tired of
Living all alone

Now I don't want your answers
Why don't you talk to me
I'm tired of your excuses
As wanting to be free
As the wind

All alone
Waiting for a chance
Just to let you feel
How much I care
So many things I wanted
Us to share

Everyday
I try to remember
All of the things that you say
It's never late
But give me just one reason
Why I'd wait

Now I don't want your answers
Why don't you talk to me
I'm tired of your excuses
As wanting to be free
As the wind

You want the best of both worlds
And even if we try
There ain't no use denying
We're living on a lie
You've got the best of both worlds
No matter how I try
You want us to be parted
You have to tell me why

Remembering the first time
When your freedom touched my soul
Now your heart belongs to strangers
And there's nothing left to hold
You say you've got your own life
And I'm more than just a friend
But then again who isn't
I think I don't know what you meant
When you said that you loved me

Can't you see
I'm trying to find a future
For you and me
I'm on my own
But sick and tired of
Living all alone

Everyday
I try to remember
All of the things that you say
It's never late
But give me just one reason
Why I'd wait

Now I don't want your answers
Why don't you talk to me
I'm tired of your excuses
As wanting to be free
As the wind
Why don't you think of me

You want the best of both worlds
And even if we try
There ain't no use denying
We're living on a lie
You've got the best of both worlds
No matter how I try
You want us to be parted
You have to tell me why

We're living on a lie

2 / Attitude
So you think you've got it made
You think that you're a ruler
But the ones you leave behind
They are laughing in your face

No reasons to abuse me
No reasons to be proud
You really love yourself
Are you just too blind to see
You're using other people
And you're o-so-self-assured
You think I'll take my chances
But your odds will never turn

So you think you've got it made
You think that you're a ruler
But the ones you leave behind
They are laughing in your face

There ain't no good intentions
In anything you do
I'm telling you to stop
But you just don't give a damn
Behind your different faces
You're hiding all your pain
Please don't be misguided
It will never be the same

So you think you've got it made
You think that you're a ruler
But the ones you leave behind

So you think you've got it made
You think that you're a ruler
But the ones you leave behind
They are laughing in your face

You know you're wasting time
And you throw your life away
You really wasted years
And you think that I'm to blame
Don't say you're really trying
To change the state you're in
You're only causing anger
And you know you just can't win

You said you tried to see it my way
But let me tell you where you failed
Got no consideration
You're just thinking of yourself
Despite the consequences
You're trying to cause me grief
You hold on to your hopes
But it's over, can't you see

So you think you've got it made
You think that you're a ruler
So, don't think you've got it made
You know that you're a loser
And the only thing you'll keep
Will be just your lonely face

3 / Different Faces
Different places, different faces
Always thinking of home
Still you felt love
And you were not lonely with your thoughts
But so many others
Made you feel so wrong
Didn't have the power
To be strong

All of the seasons you felt down
You wished to be alone
But still they were around
Leaving this world
Was all you wanted
Don't leave the seasons behind
Don't leave us

All the things I said about you
Weren't true
I've always been to scared to say
I love you

4 / Never Ending Rain
Differences are coming over us
Like a never ending rain
Come and cry
In my never ending rain

Differences are tearing us apart
Like a never ending rain
Watch my tears
And my never ending rain

Love and hate
Weak and strong
Plot your thoughts where they belong
Warm and cold
Right and wrong
Taste my tears before you'll be gone

Imagination can't be your guide for life
The only world you'll find
Is one of dark
And never ending rain

Look around and see there's more than pain
Or never ending rain
Come with me
Walk through my never ending rain

Love and hate
Weak and strong
Plot your thoughts where they belong
Warm and cold
Right and wrong
Taste my tears before you'll be gone

Your world is dying
Can't you see
And you're killing mine
Don't you agree
This world is dying
And you're dying too
Please don't pull me
I'm not joining you

5 / Still Loving You
I guess we wanted it to happen
But in my heart I've always known
That it wouldn't last forever
So now it's time to let you go

It will be hard to live without you
But you will never see me cry
There ain't no doubt that it's been worth it
And this memory will never die

Spending my nights
Thinking of you
I'm on my own

Still can't forget
All the feelings
All the things that we shared
Still loving you
And even though we're through
I'll keep on loving you

Thinking of a love that passed away
Thinking of the day
I'll be in love again

I know that breaking up was right
But I can't explain this feeling
Still hear your voice at night

Spending my nights
Thinking of you
I'm on my own

Still can't forget
All the feelings
All the things that we shared
Still loving you
And even though we're through
I'll keep on loving you

6 / FAF
I think you are in trouble
You've got to tell her why
The wasted time of waiting
You didn't even try
To pretend your love and the feelings
For someone else inside
Your lies are vain

So when you need her
She'll be absent
You should have told her
Long before

Outside the rain is falling
Inside you feel so weak
The nights are cold and lonely
There's no one left to speak
There's no one there to listen
In this fight you're all alone
You'd better change your life

So when you need her
She'll be absent
You should have told her
Long before
Oh, when you need her
She'll be gone
She won't even be
Your absent friend

7 / Tell Me
Remember all the places
Remember how we used to laugh
Trying to make it all come true

Remember all their faces
Remember how they used to look
Astonished but not ignorant

And as time went by
We didn't have to worry
About what all of them
Might think of us

Tell me
Did we do so wrong
Tell me
Did we do so wrong

Do you recall the day
The day we came to realise
That not one of them
Would understand

Sleepless nights alone
Marked by false decisions
And the choices never were our own

Tell me
Did we do so wrong
Tell me
Did we do so wrong

Ooh-give me one more day
and you'll know
I'm the only one
One more day to make up your mind
All alone, I kneel and pray
For that one more day

It's not too late
One day you may see
The bright side of life
And times, times will change for you

Don't be afraid
These tears of love
Will be the last that you cry
And times, times will change for you

Tell me
Did we do so wrong
Tell me
Did we do so wrong

Ooh-give me one more day
and you'll know
I'm the only one
One more day to make up your mind
All alone, I kneel and pray
For that one more day

8 / Dreamer
I used to dream
Flying across water and land
Leaving my footprints in the sand
Everywhere I'd been

I was the one
Who decided when the wind should blow
Making the sunshine, rain or snow
Only thunder disobeyed

Dream on little man, 
Dream on
You can't be bigger than this
Dream on little man, 
Dream on
You can't make it alone

I was the one
Who decided when the wind should blow
Making the sunshine, rain or snow
Everywhere I'd been

I flew to deserts
Carrying clouds upon my back
A rainbow caught up in my sack
To turn the sand into green

Dream on little man
Dream on
You can't be bigger than this
Dream on little man
Dream on
You can't make it alone

Look around and see
What you want to see
Look around and be
What you want to be

9 / Moving On (You And I)
You and me together
We'll walk a million miles
Heading for the future
To leave the past behind

To get some recognition
That's all we ever wanted
It's got to feel right
So until then

We just move along

It's you and me together
We've walked a million miles
Heading for our future
We left our tears behind

Getting used to one another
That's all we ever wanted
And it feels right
So from now on

It's you and I
It took a lifetime
To be here
Where we are now
There isn't much
We didn't share

So we'll move along
You and I

You and me still lovers
That's the way it's meant to be
And even though it's hard
For everyone to see

There ain't no use denying
We both knew what we felt
And this is so much better
Than anything we held
Getting used to one another
That's all we ever wanted
And it feels right
And I feel right

About you and I moving on

It took a lifetime 
To be here where we are now
There isn't much
We didn't share
It took a long time
To tell you
That I love you
Somehow I get the feeling
No one cares

About you and I moving on

10 / Nothing Left
Remembering the first time
I was more than just a friend
Now I'm picking up the pieces
Of a life destroyed by love
Thinking of the moments
When I thought we had a chance
You know I almost said I love you
There's nothing left but time...
