"Beat Back Love"[/b][/url]

I was around
The first time you fell down,
Picked you up off the playground
And I’ve never once asked
“Hey what about me?”
I’ve been the one
Between all the boyfriends,
To hold you
And all of your problems;
What do I have to do to make you see?

You beat back love
But somebody wants you.
You’ve had enough,
But somebody needs you.
You push and shove,
But somebody’s still in love with you.
You fight it off,
But somebody finds you.
You build a wall,
But it doesn’t hide you.
You try to fall,
But somebody won’t let go of you;
Somebody will always be in love with you.

I’m the one you’ve always been close to,
Know all the things that I’m not supposed to,
Saved you from the wolves at 2AM.
All the nights you were lying beside me,
Too close for friends in the light of a TV,
When will the longing stop and the love begin?

You beat back love
But somebody wants you.
You’ve had enough,
But somebody needs you.
You push and shove,
But somebody’s still in love with you.
You fight it off,
But somebody finds you.
You build a wall,
But it doesn’t hide you.
You try to fall,
But somebody won’t let go of you;
Somebody will always be,
Yeah somebody will always be
And I will, I will always be
In love with you.

"I Don't Want to Miss a Thing"[/b][/url]



I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
While you're far away and dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Where every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure

Don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
Cause I'd miss you babe
And I don't want to miss a thing
Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you babe
And I don't want to miss a thing

Lying close to you feeling your heart beating
And I'm wondering what you're dreaming
Wondering if it's me you're seeing
Then I kiss your eyes
And thank God we're together
I just want to stay with you in this moment forever
Forever and ever

I don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
Cause I'd miss you babe
And I don't want to miss a thing
Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you babe
And I don't want to miss a thing

I don't want to miss one smile
I don't want to miss one kiss
I just want to be with you
Right here with you, just like this
I just want to hold you close
Feel your heart so close to mine
And just stay here in this moment
For all the rest of time Yeah yeah yeah

I don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
Cause I'd miss you babe
And I don't want to miss a thing
Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you babe
And I don't want to miss a thing

I Don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
Cause I'd miss you babe
And I don't want to miss a thing
Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you babe
And I don't want to miss a thing

Don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
And I don't want to miss a thing

"Addicted"

Have I told you how good
It feels to be me
When I'm in you
I can only stay clean
When you are around
Don't let me fall

If I close my eyes for ever
Would it ease the pain
Could I breath again

Baby I'm addicted and out of control
But you're the drug that keeps me from dying
Baby I'm a lair but all I really know
Is you're the only reason I'm trying

I'm wasting away
Made a million mistakes
Am I to late
There's a storm in my head
And it rains on my bed
When you're not here
I'm not afraid of dying
But I'm afraid of losing you

Baby I'm addicted and out of control
But you're the drug that keeps me from dying
Baby I'm a lair but all I really know
Is you're the only reason I'm trying

When you're lying next to me
Love is going through to me
O it's beautiful

Everything is clear to me
Till I hit reality
I lose it all
I lose it all
I lose it all

Baby I'm addicted
And trying ,trying ,trying
Baby I'm addicted
Don't want to lose it all
Baby I'm all lair but all I really know
Is you're the only reason I'm trying

Baby I'm addicted
Baby I'm addicted
Baby I'm addicted

"We All Die Young"

Risk my soul, test my life
For my bread
Spend my time, lost in space
Am I dead?

Let the river flow
Through my callused hands
And take me from my own
The eyes of the damned

It makes my stomach turn
And it tears my flesh from bone
How we turn a dream to stone
And we all die young

Tell me, I know
I lived so afraid
And still we cry alone
With words left unsaid

Yeah, it makes my stomach turn
And it tears my flesh from bone
How we turn a dream to stone
And we all die young
Yeah, we all die young

Yeah, we all die young
Yeah, we all die young
Yeah, we all die young
Yeah, we all die

Young

"Shattered"

In a way, I need a change
From this burnout scene
Another time, another town
Another everything
But it's always back to you

Stumble out, in the night
From the pouring rain
Made the block, sat and thought
There's more I need
It's always back to you

But I'm good without ya
Yeah, I'm good without you
Yeah, yeah, yeah

How many times can I break till I shatter?
Over the line can't define what I'm after
I always turn the car around
Give me a break let me make my own pattern
All that it takes is some time but I'm shattered
I always turn the car around

I had no idea that the night
Would take so damn long
Took it out, on the street
While the rain still falls
Push me back to you


But I'm good without ya
Yeah, I'm good without you
Yeah, yeah, yeah

How many times can I break till I shatter?
Over the line can't define what I'm after
I always turn the car around
Give me a break let me make my own pattern
All that it takes is some time but I'm shattered
I always turn the car around

Give it up, give it up, baby
Give it up, give it up, now
Now

How many times can I break till I shatter?
Over the line can't define what I'm after
I always turn the car around
All that I feel is the realness I'm faking
Taking my time but it's time that I'm wasting
Always turn the car around

How many times can I break till I shatter?
Over the line can't define what I'm after
I always turn the car around

Don't wanna turn that car around
I gotta turn this thing around
