These Unwanted Songs
03:50

I gave the world my soul
it gave me nothing in return
now the fires are growing cold
on all the bridges that i've burned
and i'm sitting here wondering what went wrong
that my whole life should be written down
in these unwanted songs
what am i here for
what purpose have i served
i've knocked on slamming doors
until my knuckles bled and my spirit hurt
still i'm sitting here wondering what went wrong
that my whole life should be written down
in these unwanted songs
tell me why did you pass by me Lord?
when I die will you hear my cry , oh, Lord?
or will you ignore that too
like you always do
just like you always do

All I'm Seeing Now

She said what do you see in me
that would make you stay right here
if you get famous with those songs that you write
she said you can do better than me
well, that's not what I see
because she wears her soul just right behind her eyes
I see a beautiful girl
who's been wounded by the world
with a heart so broken she tries to hide away
but she just wants to be accepted
to be important somehow
and when I look at her, that's all I'm seeing now
she says , one day you'll leave
that's what I believe
and i just look at her and shake my head
and I ask why would I do that
when you're the only one I know
that when I gave my love to you, you gave it back
bridge:
I see the child inside when I look into her eyes
she's afraid of dying lost and all alone
now I could never leave her
cause i know i'd break her heart
and in her heart, is where I finally found a home

If I Fail This Time

if i fail this time
i won't only lose my mind
no, i'd lose everything
and any hope of ever finding something beautiful
i don't know what i'd do
if you ever said you didn't love me too
or if i did anything
to ever make you doubt that this was something magical
it would sure do my head in
if i couldn't see your face again
if i couldn't feel your hands against my skin
i'd drop out of this human race
throw in the towel and accept my fate
cause if i lose now it means i'll never win
i'll never win
If I fail this time
if i break this time
my soul will never spill another rhyme
no, I would fall apart
while the pieces of my heart continue bleeding
if you ever found
that loving me only brings you down
or if I made you cry
and mad you think that I was someone not worth keeping
it would sure to my head in
if i couldn't see your face again
if i couldn't feel your hands against my skin
i'd drop out of this human race
throw in the towel and accept my fate
cause if i lose now it means i'll never win
i'll never win
If I fail this time
so I don't want to fail this time

I Don't Know
04:06
|

|
Yes, I'm alive
but i don't know for how much longer
anymore
some people say
what doesn't kill you makes you stronger
but i don't know
cause my dreams; they won't come true
and it seems that now
neither will you
neither will you
I'm dying here
trying to pretend i'll be alright
but i don't know
my fear keeps growing stronger every night
in my soul
and my dreams; they won't come true
and it seems that now, neither will you
neither will you
well i know it's all my fault
that i'll never see your face
cause i can't seem to keep my feet
standing still in one place
and i have dreams that won't some true
and it seems that now neither will you
neither will you
some people say
what doesn't kill you makes you stronger
but i don't know

All My Life
03:38

you walked into the room
smiled at me and said hello
and I came alive
took my hand
caught my eye and spoke your name
and i almost died
i love the way your hair falls down
and wraps around your shoulders
i love the sparkle in your eyes tonight
you probably don't know it yet
but i would love to hold you
press my lips against your ear and whisper
"I've loved you all my life"
I've loved you all my life
how can I ever make you understand
that these words are true
all my years
I've been looking all around this world for you

This Far
03:29

well your heart may be scarred
but just let me try to heal it
let me have the chance to show what I can do
and your mind may be troubled
with the terrors from your childhood
but i'll fight to chase them all away from you
we both know how this could go
we could break each other's hearts
but i don't think that we've come this far
just to fall down
just to fall down again
my heart is where you are
and you have every right to claim it
it's been yours since i was just a little boy
if you give me yours i promise i'll protect it
and i will never treat it like a toy
bridge:
we've both been at the bottom
we know how it feels to fall
but i believe that destiny has decided
we've had enough of it all
and i think we know that we won't go
to where we break each other's hearts
and i don't think that we've come this far
just to fall down again

Hazel Green

Well I've been hanging around
this lonely little town
in Alabama , called Hazel Green
and it's sitting here outside this house
on this front porch
where i met my fantasy
if i could just hoc this song
she'd be right here with me
i'd drive up to cold Minnesota
and bring her back to Hazel Green
I'd bring her back to hazel Green
well she says she's been waiting
for me to come along
she's been wondering where I've been
so I told her about all the lessons I had learned
in this town of Hazel Green
now i if I could just hoc this song
she'd be right here with me
i'd go up to cold Minnesota
and bring her back to Hazel Green
Does anybody want this song
see, I need my Wendy Jean
I've got to go up to cold Minnesota
and bring her back to Hazel Green
I need her back in Hazel Green

Enough
03:42
|
|||
|
I think I've had enough
of religion and politics and all of that stuff
cause they're always lying to me
they make my life a prison and tell me I'm free
they won't give us mud for mortar
but they expect us to collect their straw
still they demand a quota
so they can put another brick in their walls
i think i've seen enough
of the hate that causes us to spill each others blood
and instead of killing their own
they come to our doorsteps and rob us of our sons
they use our blood for mortar
but they expect us to collect their straw
still they demand a quota
so they can put another brick in their walls
but the walls they're building
are bars for you and me
when will we open our eyes and realize
we're not free

Why Should We Believe?
04:08
|
|||
|
Too much heartache
too much pain
I don't know that you really
know my name
too much worry
too much doubt
I can't hear you whisper
over this world shouting out at me
and it keeps shouting out at me
I've never seen a blind man see
or a lame man walk again
I've never watched someone healed of leprosy
I've never seen a demon
come out of a man
so tell me, why should we believe?
Too music sorrow
too much grief
no matter how hard I pray
there's no relief
too much anger
too much hate
they say, "all in God's time"
I say He's running kind of late
I think He's running kind of late

I Miss You
03:41

I miss you
Oh, I miss you
I know it sounds crazy
because I've never met you
but my God how I miss you
Oh, I miss you
I've been running 'round this crazy world
just looking for clues about you
and I die a little every day
having to live without you
I miss you, my god how I miss you
I need you
Oh, I need you
I know it sounds crazy
but nothing could be more true
than just how much I need you
my god, how I need you
bridge:
well I may never be by your side
but I hope I will before I die
I've dreamt about you from when I was young
and you've been in every song I've sung
though I've never touched your face
or felt the warmth of your embrace
oh my god, I miss you

this may be my last breath;
I don't know
I just feel myself
growing old
and there's still too much of me
to be any good
and I haven't done anything
that you said i would
so what am i still doing here?
what am I still doing here?
whisper something in my ear
and tell me what I'm doing here
you say God loves me
but how can you be sure?
these sins that I bear
what cross could endure?
when i look in the mirror
it's not my face i see
no, it's the ugliness
that lives inside of me
bridge:
I've disgraced your name
and I put you to open shame
yes, I've read what you said
it's just so hard to believe in anymore
so hard to believe in
