Hey God
Hey God, I'm just a little man got a wife and family But I almost lost the house Yeah, I bought into the dream We're barely holdin' on, when I'm in way to deep We're two paychecks away from living out on the streets She's a workin' single mom, like a Saint she doesn't complain She never says a word, but she thinks that she's to blame Her son just got convicted, he blew some punk away She did her best to raise him, but the world got in the way Hey God - Tell me what the hell is going on Seems like all the good shits gone It keeps on getting harder hanging on Hey God, there's nights you know I want to scream These days you've even harder to believe I know how busy you must be, but Hey God... Do you ever think about me Born into the ghetto in 1991, just a happy child Playing beneath the summer sun A vacant lots' his playground, by 12 he's got a gun The odds are bet against him, junior don't make 21 Hey God - Tell me what the hell is going on Seems like all the good shits gone It keeps on getting harder hangin' on Hey God, there's nights you know I want to scream These days you've even harder to believe I know how busy you must be, but Hey God... I'd get down on my knees I'm going to try this thing you way Seen a dying man too proud to beg spit on his own grave Was he too gone to save? Did you even know his name? Are you the one to blame, I got something to say Hey God - Tell me what the hell is going on Seems like all the good shits gone It keeps on getting harder hangin' on Hey God, there's nights you know I want to scream These days you've even harder to believe I know how busy you must be, but Hey God... Do you ever think about me

Something For The Pain
Happiness, it's been no friend to me But forever after ain't what it's all cracked up to be Yeah, I had a taste, you were my fantasy But I lost my faith when I hit reality I don't need no Guru to tell me what to do When your feeling like a headline on Yesterday's news Come on, come on, come on Give me something for the pain Give me something for the blues Give me something for the pain when I feel I've been danglin' from a hang-man's noose Give me something I can use To get me through the night Make me feel all right, Something like you Loneliness has found a home in me My suitcase and guitar are my only family I've tried to need someone, like they needed me I opened up my heart, but all I did was bleed I don't need no lover, just to get screwed They don't make a bandage, that's going to cover my bruise Come on, come on, come on Give me something for the pain Give me something for the blues Give me something for the pain when I feel I've been danglin' from a hang-man's noose Give me something I can use To get me through the night Make me feel all right, Something like you Pull me under (Help I'm falling) Run through my veins (Night is calling) To a place (Feels like I'm flying) Where I feel no pain (Christ I'm dying) Be the pillow under my head Cover me when I'm in your bed Take me higher than I've ever been Take me down and back again Come to me, be my disguise Open your coat, let me crawl inside Come on, come on, come on Come on, come on, come on Give me something for the pain Give me something for the blues Give me something for the pain when I feel I've been danglin' from a hang-man's noose Give me something I can use To get me through the night Make me feel all right, Something like you

This Ain't A Love Song
I should have seen it coming when roses died Should have seen the end of summer in your eyes I should have listened when you said good night You really meant good bye Baby, ain't it funny, how you never ever learn to fall You're really on your knees, when you think you're standing tall But only fools are "know-it-alls" and I played that fool for you I cried and I cried There were nights that died for you baby I tried and I tried to deny that your love drove me crazy, baby If the love that I got for you is gone If the river I cried ain't that long Then I'm wrong, yeah I'm wrong, this ain't a love song Baby, I thought you and me would stand the test of time Like we got away with the perfect crime but We were just a legend in my mind I guess that I was blind Remember those nights dancing at the masquerade The clowns wore smiles that wouldn't fade You and I were the renegades, some things never change It made me so mad 'cause I wanted it bad for us baby Now it's so sad that whatever we had, ain't worth saving If the love that I got for you is gone If the river I've cried ain't that long Then I'm wrong, yes I'm wrong, this ain't a love song If the pain that I'm feeling so strong Is the reason that I'm holding on Then I'm wrong, yeah I'm wrong - this ain't a love song I cried and I cried There were nights that I died for you baby I tried and I tried to deny that your love drove me crazy If the love that I got for you is gone If the river I cried ain't that long Then I'm wrong, yeah I'm wrong - this ain't no love song If the pain that I'm feeling so strong Is the reason that I'm holding on Then I'm wrong, yeah I'm wrong - this ain't a love song If the pain that I'm feeling so strong Is the reason that I'm holding on Then I'm wrong, yeah I'm wrong - this ain't a love song Yes, I'm wrong, yeah, I'm wrong - this ain't a love song Yes, I'm wrong, yeah, I'm wrong - this ain't a love song Yes, I'm wrong, yeah, I'm wrong - this ain't a love song

These Days
I was walking around, just a face in the crowd Trying to keep myself out of the rain Saw a vagabond king wear a styrofoam crown Wondered if I might end up the same There's a man out on the corner Singing old songs about change Everybody got their cross to bare, these days She came looking for some shelter with a suitcase full of dreams To a motel room on the boulevard Guess she's trying to be James Dean She's seen all the disciples and all the "wanna be's" No one wants to be themselves these days Still there's nothing to hold on to but these days These days - the stars seem out of reach These days - there ain't a ladder on these streets These days - are fast, love don't last in this graceless age There ain't nobody left but us these days Jimmy shoes busted both his legs, trying to learn to fly From a second story window, he just jumped and closed his eyes His momma said he was crazy - he said momma "I've got to try" Don't you know that all my heroes died And I guess I'd rather die than fade away These days - the stars seem out of reach But these days - there ain't a ladder on these streets These days are fast, love don't lasts-in this graceless age Even innocence has caught the morning train And there ain't nobody left but us these days I know Rome's still burning Though the times have changed This world keepd turning round and round and round and round These days These days - the stars seem out of reach But these days - there ain't a ladder on these streets These days are fast, love don't lasts-in this graceless age Even innocence has caught the morning train And there ain't nobody left but us these days These days - the stars seem out of reach These days - there ain't a ladder on these streets These days - are fast, nothing lasts There ain't no time to waste There ain't nobody left to take the blame There ain't nobody left but us these days

Lie To Me
Rumour has it that your daddy's coming down He's gonna pay the rent Tell me baby, is this as good as life is gonna get It feels like there's a stronger standing in these shoes But, I know I can't lose me, 'cause then I'd be losing you I know I promised baby I would be the one to make our dreams come true I ain't too proud of all the struggles And the hard times we've been through When this cold world comes between us Please tell me you'll be brave 'Cause I can realize the danger when forgiveness fades away If you don't love me - lie to me 'Cause baby you're the one thing I believe Let it all fall down around us, if that's what's meant to be Right now if you don't love me baby - lie to me Pour another cup of coffee Babe I got something to say to you I ain't got the winning ticket Not the one that's gonna pull us through No one said that it'd be easy Let your old man take you home But know that if you walk out on me that darling I'd be gone If you don't love me - lie to me 'Cause baby you're the one thing I believe Let it all fall down around us, if that's what's meant to be Right now if you can't love me baby - lie to me Baby, I can take it It's a bitch, but life's a roller coaster ride The ups and downs will make you scream sometimes It's hard believing that the thrill is gone But we got to go around again, so let's hold on If you don't love me - lie to me 'Cause baby you're the one thing I believe Let it all fall down around us If that's what's meant to be Right now if you can't love me baby - lie to me Lie to me Baby, I can take it C'mon lie to me

Damned
I'm lying here beside you in someone else's bed Knowing what were doing's wrong But better left unsaid Your breathing sounds like screaming It's all that I can stand His ring is on your finger But my heart is in your hands Damned if you love me Damned if you don't It's getting harder holding on, but I can't let you go Damned if you don't need me Damned if you do God, I wish it wasn't me standin' in these shoes Damned, damned A door slams like a shotgun, you jump up to your feet But it's just the wind blowing through the secrets that we keep Made me want to want you, God knows I need to need you By the time the love is over, I'll be sleeping on the streets Damned if you love me Damned if you don't It's getting harder holding on, but I can't let you go Damned if you don't need me Damned if you do God, I wish it wasn't me standin' in these shoes Damned, damned Why don't you talk to me? (Because I'm too blind to see) Why don't you look at me? (Because I'm afraid to breath) What do you want from me? (All that I can stand) The lies are on my tongue and I can't turn back I know My soul is damned Don't worry I ain't gonna call you or hear you say my name And if you see me on the street, don't wave just walk away Our lives are getting twisted, let's keep our stories straight The more that I resist it, my temptation turns to fate Damned if you love me Damned if you don't It's getting harder holding on, but I can't let you go Damned if you don't need me Damned if you do God, I wish it wasn't me standin' in these shoes

My Guitar Lies Bleeding In My Arms
Misery likes company, I like the way that sounds I've been trying to find the meaning, so I can write it down Staring out the window, it's such a long way down I'd like to jump, but I'm afraid to hit the ground I can't write a love song the way I feel today I can't sing no song of hope, I got nothing to say Life is feeling kind of strange, since you went away I sing this song to you wherever you are As my guitar lies bleeding in my arms I'm tired of watching TV, it makes me ant to scream Outside the world is burning, man it's so hard to belive Each day you know you're dying from the cradle to the grave I get so numb sometimes, that I can't feel the pain I can't write a love song the way I feel today I can't sing no song of hope I've got nothing to say Life is feeling kind of strange, it's strange enough these days I send this song to you, whoever you are As my guitar lies bleeding in my arms Staring at the paper, I don't know what to write I'll have my last cigarette-well, turn out the lights Maybe tomorrow I'll fell a different way But here im my delusion , I don't know what to say I can't write a love song the way I feel today I can't sing no song of hope I've got nothing to save And I can't fight the feelings buried in my brains I send this song to you, whoever you are As my guitar lies bleeding

(It's Hard) Letting You Go
It ain't no fun lying down to sleep And there ain't no secrets left for me to keep I wish the stars up in the sky Would all just call in sick And the clouds would take the moon out On some one-way trip I drove all night down streets that wouldn't bend But somehow they drove me back here once again To the place I lost at love, and the place I lost my soul I wish I'd just burn down this place that we called home It would all have been so easy If you'd only made me cry And told me how you're leaving me To some organ grinder's lullaby It's hard, so hard - it's tearing out my heart It's hard letting you go Now the sky, it shines a different kind of blue And the neighbor's dog don't bark like he used to Well - me, these days I just miss you - it's the nights that I go insane Unless you're coming back for me That's one thing I know that won't change It's hard, so hard - it's tearing out my heart It's hard letting you go Now some tarot card shark said I'll draw you a heart And we'll find you somebody else new But I've made my last trip to those carnival lips When I bet all that I had on you It's hard, it's hard, it's hard, so hard It's hard letting you go It's hard, so hard, it's tearing out my heart But it's hard letting you go

Something To Believe In

Bitter Wine
We met some time ago, when we were almost young It never crossed my mind to ask, where did you come from? I didn't have much money, so I stole you a rose You were dressed like an orphan, in Salvation Army clothes Once you were my inspiration, but, that river's run dry What was once holy water, tastes like bitter wine I know I wasn't funny, but you laughed at all my jokes When I was chaking on the words to say You shoved your finger down my throat The first night I said I loved you, you told me to go to hell You were giving he head, on that creeky Old bed at the Ol'Duvol Motel Once you were my inspiration, but, that river's run dry What was once holy water, tastes like bitter wine Once you were my inspiration, but, that river's run dry What was once holy water, tastes like bitter wine I would drink of your river, it would always get me high What was once my salvation, now tastes like bitter wine I never thought I'd love ya, no - I'd rather go blind I thought I saw the future, but the fortune teller lied I guess she lied Just like everything, even good love has to die Ain't no sympathy when it waves goodbye, no one even cried We were one of a kind I would drink of your river, it would always get me high What was once my salvation, now tastes like bitter wine I never thought I'd love ya, no - I'd rather go blind I thought I saw the future, but the fortune teller lied I guess she lied

Como Yo Nadie Te Ha Amado. (This Ain't A Love Song)
Yo no vi las flores marchitar, ni ese frío en tus ojos al mirar, no,no vi la realidad me ibas a dejar. Dicen que la vida baby no es como la ves, para aprender hay que caer, para ganar hay que perder, lo di todo por tí. Lloré y lloré y juré que no iba a perderte, traté y traté de negar este amor tantas veces, baby Si mis lágrimas fueron en vano, si al final yo te amé demasiado, como yo, como yo nadie te ha amado. Cada hora, una eternidad, cada amanecer, un comenzar; ilusiones nada más, que fácil fue soñar. Tantas noches de intimidad parecían no acabar; nos dejamos desafiar y hoy nada es igual. Sé que en verdad el amor al final siempre duele, no lo pude salvar y hoy voy a pagarlo con creces, baby Si mis lágrimas fueron en vano, si al final yo te amé demasiado, como yo, como yo nadie te ha amado. Esta vez la pasión ha ganado y por eso sigo esperando, como yo, como yo nadie te ha amado. Lloré y lloré y juré que no iba a perderte, traté y traté de negar este amor tantas veces, baby Si mis lágrimas fueron en vano, si al final yo te amé demasiado, como yo, como yo nadie te ha amado. Esta vez la pasión ha ganado y por eso sigo esperando, como yo, como yo nadie te ha amado. Como yo, como yo nadie te ha amado... (x2)
