Keep Myself From Falling Down
A man walks down the high street
From his eyes you see he's been crying
Do you stop and ask if he's doing fine
Do you just walk by
Wondering whatever was on your mind
How can i ever keep myself from falling down
It's so easy to let your world turn upside-down
How can i ever keep myself from falling down
Is it too much to ask to let go of the past
Is it too much to ask to let go of your past
Your friends they'll say it's gonna be OK
You'll get used to being alone again
We'll make sure you have everything you need
But you just can't see
A way to get back on your feet
How can i ever keep myself from falling down
It's so easy to let your world turn upside-down
How can i ever keep myself from falling down
Is it too much to ask to let go of the past
Is it too much to ask to let go of your past

(I Don't Want to) Hurt You
Well i've been thinking about what to say to you
Words are circling 'round in my mind
It's so hard sometimes to tell the truth
But i'm getting tired of all these lies
I hear them all the time
I don't want to hurt you
I know you've heard it all before
I don't want to hurt you
But i just seem to hurt you more and more
There were times when i forgot that you
You're the love of my life
But whenever i'm away from you
I think of you all the time
All the time
I don't want to hurt you
I know you've heard it all before
I don't want to hurt you
But i just seem to hurt you more and more

Untrue (to All of You)
I know that you're in love with me right now
But you won't be so sure about it
When you find out
Oo what i've done
I've lied to everyone i know
I've been untrue to all of you
More than once more than twice
Oh so many times
People always think that i'm such a funny guy
Always joking and
Ready for a good time
But what they don't know
Is that i've lied to everyone i know
I've been untrue to all of you
More than once more than twice
Oh so many times
Now i'm gonna get what i deserve
I've lied to everyone i know
I've been untrue to all of you
More than once more than twice
Oh so many times
And i'd like to apologise
If I ever made you cry
Now i'm gonna get what i deserve
So these are my goodbyes
You're all going to heaven
While i'll end up in hell
Oh well oh well oh well
These are my goodbyes
Goodbye

Sunlight!

Sunlight!
I... I dream of walking
I... I'm still too weak
I... want you to keep talking
I'm too tired to speak
All i want is to feel the sunlight on my face
All i want is to feel...
Sunlight!
I... I'm just like a baby
Please take care of me
I... need you to feed me
Please hold my hand
All i want is to feel the sunlight on my face
All i want is to feel...
Sunlight!
I keep calling you but you're too far away from me
I keep holding you but you can't feel a thing
I try to keep you with me
I want to hear your heart beat
But the sound keeps fading away

a song
Can you tell me why
Everything has changed
I thought i knew you well
But now you're acting strange
Can you tell me why
Everything has changed
Without any reason
Except the one you're trying to hide
Can you please explain
Cos i need to know
After all this time you can't just walk away
Without telling me why
Is it something i said
Have i done something wrong
Please tell me the truth now
Don't just go and put in in a song
People change and i am changing
Would it help you if i gave it a name
Would it help you if you got someone to blame
Someone else than me

No Time to Waste
Baby don't you know there's no time
Baby i can hardly wait
Baby don't you know there's no time to waste
If you wanna do it, do it now
Don't wait another day, the time is now
The game is on, go out and play
You must admit it there's no other way

Tough Men

Tough Men
Tough men
Sitting in a minivan
Tough men
Going up and down the country
Tough men
Playing shows to tough people
Tough men
Who just don't care
Tough men
Working in a factory
Tough men
Five days a week
Tough men
Spend their weekends in a bottle
Tough men
Behind the garden shed
Never smile in the photos, man
Never give too much away
Never swim in the swimming pool
On a family holiday
Never smile in the photos, man
Never give too much away
But they're all playing in a band
In a band of tough men
Touch me i'm so tough
Touch me i'm so tough

Let Down by Love
Oh how people change
When they fall in love
They forget their names
They forget they're lost
Just like you and me
They only see the things
They want to see
Days spent in a haze
Nights you wish could last for days
Only take your thoughts
Away from what is lost
But the truth hides underneath
Only to come up
And to be seen
That's why i won't fall in love
That's why i won't fall in love again
Cos love is just like a drug
It gets you high just to put you down again
That's why i won't fall in love (oh no)
That's why i won't fall in love again
I need to be out of love
I need a day when i'm not let down by love

The Director
The director wakes up
It's a beautiful day
His dog says hi let's go out
He's not lonely
The director sees his wife
In a photograph
Tears will soon remind him
He's not lonely
When i was younger
I wanted so hard to be something
When i was young
I used to be lonely
The director wakes up
It's a beautiful day
His dog says hi let's go out
He's not lonely
The director walks
Down to the beach
Sits on a rock
And stares at the ocean
For hours
When i was younger
I wanted so hard to be something
When i was young
I used to be lonely
I used to be sad and lonely
