SO FAR AWAY
Tonight I feel the distance
that has crawled between us...
Open up as lonely
as the space between the stars...
I wish that I could find a way
to smash my fist right through these walls
of ugliness and emptiness
and gently touch your face
But everytime that I touch you,
you feel so far away...
And everytime that you need me,
I feel so far away...
I've seen you silently beside me
choking back your tears
I wonder if you recognize
that silence now defines us...
Desperately I try to fight this overwhelming sense
that I may never find the strength
to change how hopeless we've become...
But everytime that I touch you,
you feel so far away
And everytime that you need me,
I feel so far away
Can I feel so far away?
I feel so far away...
I feel so far...far away...
I need to find a way to break this silence...
I need to find a way to break this silence...
I need to find a way to break this silence
that's between us...
So I scream your name...I scream your name...I scream your name
I scream your name
But everytime that I touch you,
you feel so far away
And everytime that you need me,
you feel so far away
But everytime that you reach out,
you feel me pull away
And everytime that I touch you...I touch you...I touch you
You feel so far away
PERFECT
Lately I've noticed how much you've changed
Even though you swear you're the same
So why do I feel a million miles away?
And why do I feel like we're broken?
Why can't we be perfect like we used to be?
Why can't we be perfect?
Why can't we be perfect like we used to be?
Why can't we be perfect?
Perfect is how I once described our love
But that was before we fell apart
So why do I feel a million miles away?
And why do I feel like we're broken?
Why can't we be perfect like we used to be?
Why can't we be perfect?
Why can't we be perfect like we used to be?
Why can't we be perfect?
We used to be perfect...
We used to be perfect...
We used to be perfect...
We used to be perfect...
Lately I've noticed how much you've changed
Even though you swear you're the same
Why can't we be perfect like we used to be?
Why can't we be perfect?
Why can't we be perfect like we used to be?
Why can't we be perfect?
We used to be perfect...
We used to be perfect...
We used to be perfect...
We used to be perfect...
I REMEMBER
Do you ever wonder where we would be if we had tried
a little harder...
It seems like yesterday that we were making plans
for the future...
But it's been so long since I have mourned the dreams
these dreams we've left abandoned...
And I'm haunted by your face and the memory of your kisses,
sweet kisses...
Do you remember?
I still remember so much...
I remember never feeling so alive
Do you remember?
I still can't forget your touch
We swore that we would never end
We knew our love transcended space and time
These memories slip away
The ghost of what we were is fading...
But there is no more pain, which is funny cause that night
I was dying...I was dying
Now I don't even recognize the girl I swore that someday I
would marry...
But I can't forget her face and I can't forget her kisses,
sweet kisses...
Do you remember?
I still remember so much...
I remember always feeling so alive
Do you remember?
I still can't forget your touch
We swore that we would never end
We knew our love transcended space and time
Do you remember?
I still remember so much...
I remember never feeling so alive
Do you remember?
I still can't forget your touch
How we swore that we would never be alone
Do you remember?
I still remember so much...
I remember never feeling so alive
Do you remember?
Cause I still can't forget your touch
How we swore that we would never end
We knew our love transcended space and time
We swore that we would never end
We knew our love transcended space and time
WASTED
I've spent my life
running from an emptiness that haunts me
And I've spent my whole life
trying to fuck the loneliness away
And I die inside
when I think of all the people I have damaged
And I'm tired, I'm so tired
And there's no one else except myself to blame...
My life's been wasted
(Everything is gone)
My life's been wasted
(And I am all alone)
My life's been wasted
(There is no one else)
My life's been wasted
(It's time I face myself)
And I've spent my life
trapped inside a cycle of self destruction
And I've spent my whole life
trying to numb the pain inside my soul
And tonight I cry
when I realized how fucked this world would blow up
I'm tired, I'm so fucking tired
Gonna find a way to keep my faith alive
My life's been wasted
(Everything is gone)
My life's been wasted
(And I am all alone)
My life's been wasted
(There is no one else)
My life's been wasted
(It's time I face myself)
When I reach the end...
will anything I've done mean anything?
Now when I reach the end...
will anything I've done mean anything?
will anything I've done mean anything?
will anything I've done mean anything?
My life's been wasted
(Everything is gone)
My life's been wasted
(And I am all alone)
My life's been wasted
(There is no one else)
My life's been wasted
My life's been wasted
(Everything is gone)
My life's been wasted
(And I am all alone)
My life's been wasted
(There is no one else)
My life's been wasted
(It's time I face myself)
HAPPY
I know you've grown to hate me
Even more than you have grown to hate yourself
But has it really made a difference
sharing all that hate with someone else
Please tell me are you really happy?
Do you think he's really worth the pain?
Tell me are you really happy?
Did you simply throw our life away
just to be unhappy?
Does he worship and adore you
Does he make you feel so beautifully complete?
Is your life so much better now?
Or do the same old demons haunt your sleep?
Please tell me are you really happy?
Do you think he's really worth the pain?
Tell me are you really happy now?
Did you simply throw our life away
just to be unhappy...
just to be unhappy?
Is he everything you've dreamed of?
I imagine he is so much more than me...
You know I tried to make you happy...
But I believe you thrive on misery...
So please tell me are you really happy?
Do you think he's really worth the pain?
Tell me are you really happy?
Did you simply throw our life away
just to be unhappy...
just to be unhappy...
just to be unhappy...
just to be unhappy?
THE ONLY THING
All I need is the air you breathe
All I need is the air I breathe
All I need is the air we breathe
All I need is the air I breathe
There're so many things we need so desperately
And the TV preaches we can't live without them
You tell me what is neat, I'll tell you what I believe
If I ever were without it then I'd be worthless
Cause you are everything, the only thing that matters
You are everything, the only thing I need
You are everything, the only thing that matters
Cause you are everything
You are the air I breathe
I wonder if someday we take all their toys away
Do you think they'd find a strength to go on living
Cause deep inside I know if I lost everything I owned
I'd be a king (?) as long as you're beside me
Cause you are everything, the only thing that matters
Cause you are everything, the only thing I need
Our love is everything, the only thing that matters
Cause you are everything
You are the air I breathe
the air I breathe...
the air I breathe...
the air I breathe...
the air I breathe...
I hope someday we find a place to be --not sure about lyrics--
where all our souls compile their lifes of meaning
I know we'll survive, all we need's more time
As long as we've got lovin on the ocean
And you are everything, the only thing that matters
You are everything, there's nothing else I need
Our love is everything, the only thing that matters
Cause you are everything
You are the air I breathe
the air I breathe...
the air I breathe...
the air I breathe...
the air I breathe...
the air I breathe...
the air I breathe...
the air I breathe...
You are everything, the only thing that matters
You are everything, there's nothing else I need
Cause you are everything, the only thing that matters
Our love is everything, you are the air I breathe
You are everything, you are the air I breathe
the air I breathe...
the air I breathe...
the air I breathe...
ANGEL
I believed that love was sacred
As I dove blindly into her sea
You see, that warm embrace felt more like drowning
As endless waves crashed down on me
She was an insatiable black hole
Feeding off my mind and off my soul
I found love humilating
Sick and desperate need that drives me
God I hope I'm never feeling --not sure about lyrics--
But I've never been loved by an angel
I never felt anything so pure...
But I've never been loved by an angel
Until tonight, when your heaven filled my world...
She showed that love could lift me higher
And with a kiss she repaired these broken wings
She revived my fading spirit
Restored my faith in everything
I have never felt how I do (?)
Even in a crowd I felt alone...
I've almost given up on life
I believed that I'm alone
I never thought I'm ever feeling --not sure about lyrics--
But I've never been loved by an angel
I never felt anything so pure...
But I've never been loved by an angel
Until tonight, when your heaven filled my world...
I believed in nothing...
But you believe in me...
I thought that life was worthless...
But you taught me I was strong
But I've never been loved by an angel
I never felt anything so pure...
But I've never been loved by an angel
Until tonight, when your heaven filled my world...
Until tonight, when your heaven filled my world...
BREATHE YOU IN
Tomorrow came to soon...I barely made it through today
Still empty inside...I guess that nothing's really changed
I'm still afraid to feel, cause I cannot take the pain
I'm still afraid to feel, afraid to lose someone again
I wish that somehow I could leave
my past behind,
my fears behind...
If I could only breathe you in
If I could only breathe you in
If I could only breathe you in
Every drop of you...
Guess it's time to face the truth...and admit my past mistakes
Come to terms with all that's wrong with me...
And all the things I'll never be...
Why am I afraid to feel?
Afraid of what is true?
Why am I afraid to feel?
When all I really want is you...
To taste your skin, to share your thoughts
Could never be enough for me...
If I could only breathe you in
If I could only breathe you in
If I could only breathe you in
Every drop of you...
If I could only breathe you in
If I could only breathe you in
If I could only breathe you in
Every drop of you...
of you...
HIGH
I can't hide it, I can't fight it
When every nerve is crying out for release
I can't recapture the rapture
that passion that is burning inside me...
I've lost so much...
Chasing the perfect high (?)
I've lost so much...
I've never been as high as I was with you
Never been so high...
I've never been as high as I was with you
I finally realized that's a perfect high (?)
that's a perfect high...
This hunger consumed me
I lost my soul as you came rushing in my veins
A pathetic little junkie
But I'm the whore that needs it one last time
I've lost so much...
Chasing the perfect high (?)
I've lost so much...
I've never been as high as I was with you
Never been so high...
I've never been as high as I was with you
I finally realized that's a perfect high
that's a perfect high...
I've never been as high as I was with you
Never been so high...
I've never been as high as I was with you
I finally realized that's a perfect high
that's a perfect high...
that's a perfect high...
that's a perfect high...
that's a perfect high...
TELEVISION
Sit alone, contemplating...
what is missing inside me
I desperately try to remember...
a life that's not meant to be
I meditate and try to recapture
some sense of reality
But I look around...
I've seen numb empty faces
the world is waiting to die...
and this apathy is so suffocating
the slow decay of my mind
I've searched the world...
for someone with answers
The questions that are plagueing me
I scream in vain...
at anyone who'll listen
but everybody's watching TV...
Is anyone alive?
But am I lost in a world where nothing matters?
Am I lost in a world where noone cares?
Is anyone alive?
Is anyone alive?
But are we lost in a world where nothing matters?
Are we lost in a world where noone cares?
Is anyone alive?
Is anyone alive?
