Nearly to Death

I waited, back when I stood firm and watched it fall away,
Nearly to death.
I was patient, ageing every day without reflection or faith,
Only saving face,
Nearly to Death.
I felt blue, so I took 2 but nothing ever came of it.
I guess I was spoiled by your grace.
Nearly to death.
The last breath reached for life as my conscience left,
and brought me back to the beginning -
Nearly to death.
I fashioned a smiled, descending meanwhile...
Nearly to death.
I was jaded, everything was lost or buried nameless below,
Nothing left to show,
Nearly to death.
Forever empty, contemplating purpose with such envy.
I knew that i could change, but I was wasted on the day,
Nearly to death.
The last breath reached for life as my conscience left,
and brought me back to the beginning -
Nearly to death.

Goodbye Is All I Can Say

There's nothing under my shirt,
Just skin and bones that bruise. It's like that.
Below the early night, you broke me at first sight and left me half the man.
I never stood a chance, You lead me to the dance without essential moves.
Embarrassed and afraid, I failed to prove my grade and I have lost you.
((Goodbye Is All I Can Say))
There's nothing wrong with being sore about it.
A sorry sight to see, coughing up the keys as I return home (late).
I hang my head in shame, another victim of the game,
Another prize for you.
I tried to be 'The Man' the sort of meat you'd understand,
But I ain't made of that.
So unconvincing in my act, a character that lacked desired virtues.
((Goodbye Is All I Can Say))
There's nothing wrong with being sore about it.
I know the day will pass,
Snakes will leave the grass and I will walk tall, again.
I'll step into my prime and make up for all the time I spent in deep blues.
I'll rise above it all,
Tomorrow i'll go shopping for a tailored suit, and shoes.
I'll save the best for last,
I'll leave this in the past each moment's brand new.
((Goodbye Is All I Can Say))
There's nothing wrong with being sore about it.

Ungrateful Heart

Even the best of you is wasted on my ungrateful heart.
If you meet somebody new don't hesitate to learn, don't wait to start.
Don't make it hard on yourself, shape up and shine.
Quit while you're ahead, you'll never know the end of my ungrateful heart.
Given that you are true, don't settle for lies. Unfaithful heart.
Don't answer for my wrongs, don't think of reasons why, it's time to part.
Don't make it hard on yourself, shape up and shine.
There's nothing to be said, you're love won't make a saint of my ungrateful heart.
Even the best of you is wasted on my ungrateful heart.
If you meet somebody new don't hesitate to learn, don't wait to start.
Don't make it hard on yourself, shape up and shine.
There's nothing to be said, you're love won't make a saint of my ungrateful heart.
There's nothing to be said.

Take On Main Street

It doesn't matter what you hear it's what I see,
Alone when you're with me, be whoever you want to be,
And I will love you.
Disappearing won't affect how you feel,
Don't be shy, don't conceal,
Tomorrow go take on main street and show em the deal.
Show em you're gold.
It doesn't matter if the moments right,
You cannot wait all day and night,
Come alive and move those hot feet, go dance a little.
Don't you worry if it's underground,
It's only lost of it's not found,
Dig deep and walk that heart beat straight down the middle.
It's only lost if it's not found, baby.
Look around, and I will find you.
It doesn't matter what you hear it's what I see,
Alone when you're with me, be whoever you want to be,
And I will love you.
Disappearing won't affect how you feel,
Don't be shy, don't conceal,
Tomorrow go take on main street and show em the deal.
Tomorrow go take on main street and show em the deal.
Walk tall, give it you're all my dear.
Tomorrow go take on main street and show em the deal.
Show em you're gold there's nothing left to fear.

Go On Talk

Check your watch it's time to notice me again,
I need your love,
Told you once and told you twice before.
Talk to me like I'm your friend,
I'll take your word,
I will never doubt your heart again.
Stop acting like it's cool when it's not, it don't suit you.
Can't tell if you are in my scene.
The conversation's automatic, it was over the start,
There's no mistaking what you mean.
What you mean when you told me it wont hurt,
You say you won't leave,
You say that life turned out just how you planned it.
You say you wanna talk, Go on, talk.
You say that you won't do no wrong again.
Check yourself before you underestimate me,
I need your trust,
Told you once and told you twice before.
Let's carry on while you pretend to make it up,
The truth will meet you at a sorry end.
Stop acting like it's cool when it's not, it don't suit you.
Can't tell if you are in my scene.
The conversation's automatic, it was over the start,
There's no mistaking what you mean.
What you mean when you told me it wont hurt,
You say you won't leave,
You say that life turned out just how you planned it.
You say you wanna talk, Go on, talk.
You say that you won't do no wrong again.
