Driving on a desert highway My destiny's unknown I haven't got a clue And I don't know what I'm doing I'm just thinking of a chance to get away I want to get away Heading for another border Miles away from home Looking for a place to lay my head But I'm to scared to stop Trying to get away I want to get away The sun is burning on the middle of the road The cops are on my heels I know I haven't got a chance To come out of this alive I just hope that someone out there knows my name I hope she knows my name I was tired of my illusions Every single day I was blinded by confusion I pulled my gun and tried to make her stay Why didn't she just stay I still remember The fear in her eyes As I lost my mind Looking for a reason To make her understand the things I did To let her stay There's nothing to return to She looked at me and turned and walked away
Driving on a desert highway
My destiny's unknown
I haven't got a clue
And I don't know what I'm doing
I'm just thinking of a chance
to get away
I want to get away
Heading for another border
Miles away from home
Looking for a place
to lay my head
But I'm to scared to stop
Trying to get away
The sun is burning
on the middle of the road
The cops are on my heels
I know I haven't got a chance
To come out of this alive
I just hope that someone out
there knows my name
I hope she knows my name
I was tired of my illusions
Every single day
I was blinded by confusion
I pulled my gun and
tried to make her stay
Why didn't she just stay
I still remember
The fear in her eyes
As I lost my mind
Looking for a reason
To make her understand
the things I did
To let her stay
There's nothing to return to
She looked at me and
turned and walked away
I'm getting out of bed There's something in your eyes Anger in the morning I'm so tired of telling lies You know I'm trying to find my way But you couldn't be more wrong You think I wanted you to stay But I'm wishing you were gone And then when you tell me I'm making no more sense That's when it hits me You 're trying to make me pay I know you've had enough But do you think that you're alone I never really wanted you In this place I call my own I always liked my freedom But now it's coming to an end I guess you never saw it coming But now it's really time you went And then when you tell me I'm making no more sense That's when it hits me You 're trying to make me pay I'm telling you to go But you don't listen to what I say You've only got one goal I think you're trying to make me pay And then when you tell me I'm making no more sense That's when it hits me You 're trying to make me pay
I'm getting out of bed
There's something in your eyes
Anger in the morning
I'm so tired of telling lies
You know I'm trying
to find my way
But you couldn't be more wrong
You think I wanted you to stay
But I'm wishing you were gone
And then when you tell me
I'm making no more sense
That's when it hits me
You 're trying to make me pay
I know you've had enough
But do you think that you're alone
I never really wanted you
In this place I call my own
I always liked my freedom
But now it's coming to an end
I guess you never saw it coming
But now it's really time you went
I'm telling you to go
But you don't listen to what I say
You've only got one goal
I think you're trying
to make me pay
Each and every day I watch the falling leaves And I could not long for more 'Cause each and every day I live without you I know I made the right choice Did I ever care to tell you Did I ever care to tell you it's okay Did I ever mean to tell you Everything I ever felt has gone away Each and every day Each and every day I watch the falling stars And I could not wish for more 'Cause every day I stay It's getting harder to go away ... for every Moment that I live without you Makes me want to stay without you in a way And if I ever think about you I know that what I have decided is okay In each and every way Thinking of the time You were my only one With no one in between And every day I prayed That I could keep this I never dreamt there would be Moments that I'd live without you Wishing I would be without you in a way If I ever think about you I know that what I have decided is okay In each and every way You know that I love you But I just couldn't take no more There's no more argueing And no more fighting It makes me want to stay Lonely every day Each and every day Did I ever care to tell you Did I ever care to tell you it's okay Did I ever mean to tell you Everything I ever felt has gone away Each and every day You know that I love you But I just couldn't take no more There's no more argueing And no more fighting It makes me want to stay Lonely every day Each and every day I watch the falling leaves And stars are falling down In each and every way I live without you And I could not wish for more Each and every day
Each and every day
I watch the falling leaves
And I could not long for more
'Cause each and every day
I live without you
I know I made the right choice
Did I ever care to tell you
Did I ever care
to tell you it's okay
Did I ever mean to tell you
Everything I ever felt
has gone away
I watch the falling stars
And I could not wish for more
'Cause every day I stay
It's getting harder
to go away ... for every
Moment that I live without you
Makes me want to stay
without you in a way
And if I ever think about you
I know that what I have decided
is okay In each and every way
Thinking of the time
You were my only one
With no one in between
And every day I prayed
That I could keep this
I never dreamt there would be
Moments that I'd
live without you
Wishing I would be
If I ever think about you
I know that what I have
decided is okay
In each and every way
You know that I love you
But I just couldn't take no more
There's no more argueing
And no more fighting
It makes me want to stay
Lonely every day
And stars are falling down
I guess I should be thankful That you're messing up our lives You're giving me my freedom I'm already enjoying my time You said you never planned for it But I can't believe that's true You said you really cared for me There was nothing you could do But I guess I know you better Than to think you really cared And I know you must be lying 'Bout all the things you've shared So I close the door on my way out It was never meant to be I leave the keys on my way out What a feeling to be free How could I ever be so ignorant I expected you to be as faithful as I am And I did not dare to tell you How I longed for you that night But then again I had it coming For I trusted you too much You told me all about him And you said he's just a friend He only makes you smile again And you don't know what I meant I think you know him better Than you really want to show You called him up to talk to him But you think that I don't know (What I know) How could I ever be so ignorant I expected you to be as faithful as I am And I did not dare to tell you How I longed for you that night But then again I had it coming For I trusted you too much Close the door She said There is something you should know Please don't be angry with me When I tell you I don't feel it anymore Il's not that I don't love you And he doesn't mean that much But it's the feeling that I'm missing That makes me fall for someone else Please don't let it bother you When I say you should have fun And I hope you won't be angry When I do those things you believe are wrong It's not that I don't love you And he doesn't mean that much But it's the feeling that I'm missing That makes me fall for someone else How could I ever be so ignorant I expected you to be as faithful as I am And I did not dare to tell you How I longed for you that night But then again I hrad it coming For I trusted you too much
I guess I should be thankful
That you're messing up our lives
You're giving me my freedom
I'm already enjoying my time
You said you never planned for it
But I can't believe that's true
You said you really cared for me
There was nothing you could do
But I guess I know you better
Than to think you really cared
And I know you must be lying
'Bout all the things you've shared
So I close the door on my way out
It was never meant to be
I leave the keys on my way out
What a feeling to be free
How could I ever be so ignorant
I expected you to be as
faithful as I am
And I did not dare to tell you
How I longed for you that night
But then again I had it coming
For I trusted you too much
You told me all about him
And you said he's just a friend
He only makes you smile again
And you don't know what I meant
I think you know him better
Than you really want to show
You called him up to talk to him
But you think that I don't know
(What I know)
Close the door
She said
There is something
you should know
Please don't be angry with me
When I tell you
I don't feel it anymore
Il's not that I don't love you
And he doesn't mean that much
But it's the feeling
that I'm missing
That makes me
fall for someone else
Please don't let it bother you
When I say you should have fun
And I hope you won't be angry
When I do those things
you believe are wrong
It's not that I don't love you
But then again I hrad it coming

Reaching out As I look out of my window I see the people passing by I can almost touch their freedom As my days are going by I never felt so lonely and so scared Wasted time Every single moment When I thought I had a chance Blinded by my anger Only thinking of revenge Thinking of my childhood and my dreams He made it all sound so easy All I had to do Was watch the door when he got in I never dared to ask him why he had to bring his gun I didn't dare to look what he had done He used to be my friend He used to be the one I trusted all along And as he ran he left me standing all alone I never knew that he had gone When will they know It wasn't my fault No one seems to care Doing my time Away from if all As if no one seems to care I'm waiting for the day The day I will come out I'm hoping that she'll wait for me But I know I have my doubts She didn't even write me She didn't even tell me where she was Quiet are the days The silence of the night I have no one left to turn to Nowhere left to hide The only thing I ever believed in Has gone and took my pride Took it all away When will they know it wasn't my fault No one seems to care Doing my time Away from if all As if no one seems to care
Reaching out
As I look out of my window
I see the people passing by
I can almost touch their freedom
As my days are going by
I never felt so lonely
and so scared
Wasted time
Every single moment
When I thought I had a chance
Blinded by my anger
Only thinking of revenge
Thinking of my childhood
and my dreams
He made it all sound so easy
All I had to do
Was watch the door
when he got in
I never dared to ask him
why he had to bring his gun
I didn't dare to look
what he had done
He used to be my friend
He used to be the one
I trusted all along
And as he ran he left me
standing all alone
I never knew that he had gone
When will they know
It wasn't my fault
No one seems to care
Doing my time
Away from if all
As if no one seems to care
I'm waiting for the day
The day I will come out
I'm hoping that she'll wait for me
But I know I have my doubts
She didn't even write me
She didn't even tell me
where she was
Quiet are the days
The silence of the night
I have no one left to turn to
Nowhere left to hide
The only thing I ever believed in
Has gone and took my pride
Took it all away
it wasn't my fault
I told you that's enough But you never stop complaining It doesn't matter who is wrong or who is right I'm sorry if it bothers you But I've got my opinion I'm almost feeling sorry I'm alive Do you ever think of me Do you ever pay attention I guess you always thought that I'd be here to stay But let me tell you now There's only one solution I have to pack my things and go away You say I'm to blame But I don't share your point of view It just makes me wonder Was it me or was it you I'm feeling alone But I don't need you anymore You know you can 't stop me So I'l1 walk right through that door I always thought you were the one Who would be left without a home No friends to turn to No one there If you're feeling all alone You say I'm to blame But I don't share your point of view It just makes me wonder Was it me or was it you I'm feeling alone But I don't need you anymore You know you can 't stop me So I'll walk right through that door
I told you that's enough
But you never stop complaining
It doesn't matter who is wrong
or who is right
I'm sorry if it bothers you
But I've got my opinion
I'm almost feeling sorry
I'm alive
Do you ever think of me
Do you ever pay attention
I guess you always thought
that I'd be here to stay
But let me tell you now
There's only one solution
I have to pack my things
and go away
You say I'm to blame
But I don't share
your point of view
It just makes me wonder
Was it me or was it you
I'm feeling alone
But I don't need you anymore
You know you can 't stop me
So I'l1 walk right
through that door
I always thought
you were the one
Who would be left
without a home
No friends to turn to
No one there
If you're feeling
all alone
So I'll walk right
I cross my fingers when I go to bed Wishing for a quiet peaceful night But violent images soon fill my head And again I am a witness to their fight I bury my head deep down in my pillow Streaming voices from upstairs I wish that I could make their children know That one day there will be someone who cares Something's keeping me from picking up the phone I want to shout out to the world it's got to end It's getting clearer every day That they can't make it on their own But I was taught that every neighbour is a friend I've always known that it would come to this I ask myself am I to blame? I was minding my own business When the cops took him away I turned and looked the other way Something 's keeping me from picking up the phone I want to shout out to the world it's got to end It's getting clearer every day That they can't make it on their own But I was taught that every neighbour is a friend 1 feel so helpless when they tell me They're not happy anymore I want to stay out of their lives But I feel like breaking down the door
I cross my fingers
when I go to bed
Wishing for a quiet peaceful night
But violent images
soon fill my head
And again I am a
witness to their fight
I bury my head
deep down in my pillow
Streaming voices from upstairs
I wish that I could
make their children know
That one day there will be
someone who cares
Something's keeping me from
picking up the phone
I want to shout out to the world
it's got to end
It's getting clearer every day
That they can't make it
on their own
But I was taught that
every neighbour is a friend
I've always known that
it would come to this
I ask myself am I to blame?
I was minding my own business
When the cops took him away
I turned and
looked the other way
Something 's keeping me from
1 feel so helpless
when they tell me
They're not happy anymore
I want to stay
out of their lives
But I feel like
breaking down the door
Another day has died Still no ending to his fight Will he ever be afraid Or is he longing for his light Nobody there to end his pain As if no one is there to hear his call Father I can hear you Hear you when you call Father I can feel it I feel it when you call No one said it would be easy No one said that life was fair If you ever feel you're losing it Just remember that we're there Nobody there to end his pain As if no one is there to hear his call Father I can hear you Hear you when you call Father I can feel it I feel it when you call Oh but I've seen something in his eyes As if he's giving up his fight And there is no one who can blame him He has to make it through his never ending night With nobody there to end his pain As if no one is there to hear his call Father I can hear you Hear you when you call Father I can feel it I feel it when you call Oh can you feel it when we cry Don't you ever say goodbye...
Another day has died
Still no ending to his fight
Will he ever be afraid
Or is he longing for his light
Nobody there
to end his pain
As if no one is there
to hear his call
Father I can hear you
Hear you when you call
Father I can feel it
I feel it when you call
No one said it would be easy
No one said that life was fair
If you ever feel you're losing it
Just remember that we're there
Oh but I've seen
something in his eyes
As if he's giving up his fight
And there is no one
who can blame him
He has to make it
through his
never ending night
With nobody there
Oh can you feel it
when we cry
Don't you ever
say goodbye...
