Right Where I Belong Lyrics
[Verse 1]
There's a difference in spending time with me
And killing time while I'm there
On too many people and too many things
And it makes me feel like hell
You have gone as I can see
And all of this she says to me
[Chorus]
There's too many questions
And too many strings
And they won't keep their self tied
On a roller coaster ride
It feels like I'm lying next to a ghost at night
I don't know why I gave you my heart
Cause sometimes it feels so wrong
But despite of all this weather
I know why we are together
And I swear right now
I'm right where I belong
[Verse 2]
I know I get a little bit crazy
But I never done you no wrong
Well I get distracted and carried away
And it's been this way too long
But I don't know what you need from me
Cause all I know is what I can see
[Chorus]
There's too many questions
And too many strings
And they won't keep their self tied
On a roller coaster ride
It feels like I'm lying next to a ghost at night
I don't know why I gave you my heart
Cause sometimes it feels so wrong
But despite of all this weather
I know why we are together
And I swear right now
I'm right where I belong
[Interlude]
I'm right where I belong
Go on, Play it for me Son
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
There's too many questions
And too many strings
And they won't keep their self tied
On a roller coaster ride
It feels like I'm lying next to a ghost at night
I don't know why I gave you my heart
Cause sometimes it feels so wrong
But despite of all this weather
I know why we are together
And I swear right now
I'm right where I belong
It’s Not Me Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Never mind the face that you put on in front of me
And never mind the pain you've put me through
'Cause every little thing you say
And every little thing you do
It makes me doubt all of this
What are you waiting for?
[Chorus]
Look what you did
Is this who you wanted me to be?
Well, it's not me
Look what you did
Is this how you wanted it to be?
This life you gave away
Was meant for me
[Verse 2]
Forget about the trip that you've been on
Or so it seems
Never mind the lies that you told my tears
'Cause every little thing you said
And every little thing you did
You made me doubt all of this
Is that what you're waiting for?
[Chorus]
Look what you did
Is this who you wanted me to be?
Well, it's not me
Look what you did
Is this how you wanted it to be?
This life you gave away
Was meant for me
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Look what you did
Is this who you wanted me to be?
Well, it's not me
Look what you did
Is this how you wanted it to be?
This life you gave away
Was meant for me
[Bridge]
I don't know how I can face this pain
I'll keep it inside so you can't see
I don't think I can go on this way
'Cause it's not me
Let Me Go Lyrics
[Verse 1]
One more kiss could be the best thing
But one more lie could be the worst
And all these thoughts are never resting
And you're not something I deserve
[Pre-Chorus]
In my head, there's only you now
This world falls on me
In this world, there's real and make believe
And this seems real to me
[Chorus]
You love me, but you don't know who I am
I'm torn between this life I lead and where I stand
And you love me, but you don't know who I am
So let me go
Let me go
[Verse 2]
I dream ahead to what I hope for
And I turn my back on loving you
How can this love be a good thing
When I know what I'm goin' through
[Pre-Chorus]
In my head, there's only you now
This world falls on me
In this world, there's real and make believe
And this seems real to me
[Chorus]
You love me, but you don't know who I am
I'm torn between this life I lead and where I stand
And you love me but you don't know who I am
So let me go
Just let me go
Let me go
[Bridge]
And no matter how hard I try
I can't escape these things inside I know
I know
When all the pieces fall apart
You will be the only one who knows
Who knows
[Chorus]
You love me, but you don't know who I am
I'm torn between this life I lead and where I stand
And you love me, but you don't know who I am
So let me go
Just let me go
[Outro]
And you love me, but you don't
You love me, but you don't
You love me, but you don't know who I am
And you love me, but you don't
You love me, but you don't
You love me, but you don't know me
Be Somebody Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The shades gone up
Mothers staring down
She don't know where he's been
Or how long he's been out
[Pre-Chorus]
She said, "Boy, I'm tired of waiting up while you're out with your friends"
He said, "Mom, I'm trying and I'm living my life the best way that I can"
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm trying to be somebody
I'm not trying to be somebody else
This life is mine I'm living
Don't you know me? I won't ever let you down
[Verse 2]
The day has come
The sun is moving on
She don't know where he'll go
Or when he's coming home
[Pre-Chorus]
She said, "Son, take care, don't let your dreams get too far out of sight"
He said, "I love you. Now, don't worry about me, you know I'll be fine"
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm trying to be somebody
I'm not trying to be somebody else
This life is mine I'm living
Don't you know me? I won't ever let you down
No
I'm not trying to be somebody else
Don't you know me? I won't ever let you
I won't ever let you
[Bridge]
What they say
What they know
What they think won't ever bring me down
This life is mine
And I am my own
[Interlude]
I'm trying to be somebody
I'm not trying to be somebody else
This life is mine I lead
Don't you know me?
[Chorus]
I'm trying to be somebody
I'm not trying to be somebody else
This life is mine I'm living
Don't you know me? I won't ever let you down
[Outro]
I'm not trying to be somebody else
Don't you know me? I won't ever let you down
I won't be nobody else
This life is mine and I am my own
Landing in London Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I woke up today in London
As the plane was touching down
And all I could think about was Monday
Maybe I'd be back around
If this keeps me away much longer
I don't know what I would do
You've got to understand it's a hard life
That I'm going through
[Chorus]
And when the night falls in around me
I don't think I'll make it through
I'll use your light to guide the way
'Cause all I think about is you
[Verse 2]
Well, L.A. is getting kind of crazy
And New York's getting kind of cold
I keep my head from getting lazy
I just can't wait to get back home
[Pre-Chorus]
And all these days I spend away
I'll make up for this, I swear
I need your love to hold me up
When it's all too much to bear
[Chorus]
And when the night falls in around me
I don't think I'll make it through
I'll use your light to guide the way
'Causе all I think about is you
(Whoa, whoa)
[Pre-Chorus]
And all these days I spend away
I'll makе up for this, I swear
I need your love to hold me up
When it's all too much to bear
[Chorus]
And when the night falls in around me
I don't think I'll make it through
I'll use your light to guide the way
'Cause all I think about is you
The Real Life Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I wanted to find somewhere to hide
And I opened up and left those fears inside
And I wanted to be anyone else
Only to find that there was no one there but me
[Chorus]
But I woke up to the real life
And I realized it's not worth running from anymore
When there was nowhere left to hide I found out
That nothing's real here, but I won't stop now until I find a better part of me
[Verse 2]
I let those hard days get me down
And all the things I hate got in my way
I could've screamed without a sound
I found myself silenced by those things they say
[Chorus]
But I woke up to the real life
And I realized it's not worth running from anymore
When there was nowhere left to hide I found out
That nothing's real here, but I won't stop now until I find a better part of me
[Bridge]
That's out there somewhere
And it can't be that far away
That's where I'll find myself
And I'll find my way out
That's where I'll find out
[Chorus]
But I woke up to the real life
And I realized it's not worth running from anymore
When there was nowhere left to hide I found out
That nothing's real here, but I won't stop now until I find a better part of me
Behind Those Eyes Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You said "I got something to say"
Then you got that look in your eye
"There is something you've got to know"
And you said it as you started to cry
"I've been down the wrong road tonight
And I swear I'll never go there again"
I've seen this face once before
And I don't think I can do this again
[Chorus]
There's something I can't see
There's something different in the way you smile
Behind those eyes you lie
And there's nothing I can say
Cause I'm never gonna change your mind
Behind those eyes you hide
[Verse 2]
As you turned to walk away
I saw another look in your eye
And even though it hurt like it did
I couldn't let this be your goodbye
You say that you're sorry
And you say now that it hurts you the same
Is there something here to believe
Or is it just another part of the game?
[Chorus]
There's something I can't see
There's something different in the way you smile
Behind those eyes you lie
And there's nothing I can say
Cause I'm never gonna change your mind
Behind those eyes you hide
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Behind those eyes you lie
Behind those eyes you hide
[Chorus]
There's something I can't see
There's something different in the way you smile
Behind those eyes you lie
And there's nothing I can say
Cause I'm never gonna change your mind
Behind those eyes you hide
[Outro]
There's nothing I can say
That's ever gonna make you change your mind
Behind those eyes you hide
Behind those eyes you hide
Never Will I Break Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Lay me down
Wash this blood off my hands for me while I cry out
Don't let me die before I go to sleep
And I can't keep going
But I cannot start again
[Chorus]
This road I walk is paved with broken promises I've made
At least a million times I've fallen
But never will I break
[Verse 2]
These walls I make
They could hold me in and hold me back today
Oh but tomorrow's new
Then I'll walk right out and walk right over you
If you hear me screaming
Please don't let me fall again
[Chorus]
This road I walk is paved with broken promises I've made
At least a million times I've fallen
But never will I break
[Interlude]
My time is on its way
I'll fall but I won't break
[Chorus]
This road I walk is paved with broken promises I've made
At least a million times I've fallen
But never will I break
Father’s Son Lyrics
[Verse 1]
In the glare of a neon sign
She laid her body down
The damned walked in beside her
And he laid his money down
He said don't try to scream now
But I want this one to hurt
And tonight, my pretty one
I'm gonna get my money's worth
He said they never listen
She said they'd never understand
That I don't this for pleasure
I just do it cause I can
I swear I didn't want to
And I swear I didn't know
That things like this could happen
To a 17-year old
[Chorus]
And I've bundled up all of these fears inside
And I've bottled up all of this pain
And no one or nothing can take this away
But I won't let it happen again
Never again
[Verse 2]
In the haze of a smoky room
He chokes that bottle down
It's been a month since her saw her face
Underneath the blood stained gown
He thinks about that little girl
And the one he has at home
And wonders, "What if that was my little girl
Walking down that road alone?"
[Chorus]
And I've bundled up all of these fears inside
And I've bottled up all of this pain
And no one or nothing can take this away
But I won't let it happen again
Never again
[Verse 3]
Maybe I'm just crazy or the devil got inside
But either way my soul is gone, And I'll end this all tonight
The one hand throws the whiskey, and the other throws the gun
As he cries out to the heavens, "I am not my father's son"
[Chorus]
And I've bundled up all of these fears inside
And I've bottled up all of this pain
And no one or nothing can take this away
But I won't let it happen again
Never again
Live for Today Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Show me the road and I will find my own
You build your bridges and I'll burn 'em down
So far away and all alone I roam
I'll take my chances in the here and now
[Pre-Chorus]
And all you wonder is who's for sale
Well, you won't know now and I won't tell
You're always hiding, throwing up your hands
While heroes ride again
[Chorus]
And God only knows all the places I've been
But I love this life that I'm living in
I won't look back to regret yesterday
We're not handed tomorrow, so I'll live for today
[Verse 2]
Another day and yet another's done
Spending a life living within' the past
I'll take the chance before the chance has gone
You never know when it'll be your last
[Pre-Chorus]
And all you wonder is who's for sale
Well, you won't know now and I won't tell
You're always hiding, throwing up your hands
While heroes ride again
[Chorus]
And God only knows all the places I've been
But I love this life that I'm living in
I won't look back to regret yesterday
We're not handed tomorrow, so I'll live for today
[Bridge]
We'll know when we run out of time
Until it's all over with
And there'll be no where to run
We'll never say it but we're over out heads
And we're drowning inside with all the things we've said
[Chorus]
And God only knows all the places I've been
But I love this life that I'm living in
I won't look back to regret yesterday
We're not handed tomorrow, so I'll live for today
And God only knows all the places I've been
But I love this life that I'm living in
I won't look back to regret yesterday
We're not handed tomorrow, so I'll live for today
My World Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You're stuck on a chain
And your toeing a lie
Seems like every time that you catch up
You only fall behind
And you're trapped inside this world you made yourself
[Chorus]
But that's not the world I live in
This is not the life for me
'Cause my world's bigger than your problems
And it's bigger than me
That's not the world I live in
This is not the life for me
'Cause my world's bigger than your problems
And it's bigger than me
[Verse 2]
There is always someone to blame
For the things you do yourself
You think that everything that's going wrong
Is because of someone else
And you're trapped inside this world you made yourself
[Chorus]
And that's not the world I live in
This is not the life for me
'Cause my world's bigger than your problems
And it's bigger than me
That's not the world I live in
This is not the life for me
'Cause my world's bigger than your problems
And it's bigger than me
And it's bigger than me
(Oh, oh, oh, woah, woah)
[Interlude]
'Cause I'm on the outside and I'm looking in
[Chorus]
And that's not the world I live in
This is not the life for me
'Cause my world's bigger than your problems
And it's bigger than me
That's not the world I live in
This is not the life for me
'Cause my world's bigger than your problems
And it's bigger than me
'Cause my world is bigger than your problems
And it's bigger than me
Here by Me Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I hope you’re doing fine out there without me
‘Cause I’m not doing so good without you
The things I thought you’d never know about me
Were the things I guess you always understood
[Pre-Chorus 1]
So how could I have been so blind for all these years?
Guess I only see the truth through all this fear
And living without you
[Chorus]
And everything I have in this world
And all that I’ll ever be
It could all fall down around me
Just as long as I have you
Right here by me
[Verse 2]
I can’t take another day without you
‘Cause baby, I could never make it on my own
I’ve been waiting so long, just to hold you
And to be back in your arms where I belong
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Sorry I can’t always find the words to say
But everything I’ve ever known gets swept away
Inside of your love
[Chorus]
And everything I have in this world
And all that I’ll ever be
It could all fall down around me
Just as long as I have you
Right here by me
[Bridge]
As the days grow long I see
Time is standing still for me
When you’re not here
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Sorry I can’t always find the words to say
But everything I’ve ever known gets swept away
Inside of your love
[Chorus]
And everything I have in this world
And all that I’ll ever be
It could all fall down around me
Just as long as I have you
Right here by me
And everything I have in this world
And all that I’ll ever be
It could all fall down around me
Just as long as I have you
Right here by me
