1.Angry
I walk around pretending you were never here
But the smell of you is everywhere
I ache so bad for you i want to shed my skin
Try and keep my thoughts from turning into you
I'm not angry anymore
I'm not angry
I'm not angry anymore
There is no wound as deep as a lovers betrayal
No touch as tender as your lover's hand
You were so generous with both i nearly died
Took all my dignity 'til there was nothin' left inside
I'm not angry anymore
I'm not angry
I'm not angry anymore
I just want to forget you
Erase you, replace you with
Forgiveness, forgiveness
I ache so bad for you i want to shed my skin
Try and keep my thoughts from turning into you
I'm not angry anymore
I'm not angry
I just want to forget you
Erase you, replace you with
Forgiveness, forgiveness
I'm not angry anymore
I'm not angry
I'm not angry anymore
2.At This Time
Another day another chance to get it right
Circumstances sabotage me in spite of what i try
No matter what i do
There's always something keeping me away from you
I'd do anything to see your sweet smile
An i'd go anywhere to be with you for just awhile
Isn't it funny how some things are meant to be
There is no future here for you and me
At this time, at this time, at this time
Now i'm a girl who believes in destiny
But i suppose i should face reality
The timing's wrong, there's just too many obstacles
To get together now would be impossible
And what if fate has already played it's hand
And there's no future left in the plan
What if this is what lies in store
It only makes me want you even more
I'd do anything to see your sweet smile
An i'd go anywhere to be with you for just awhile
Isn't it funny how some things are meant to be
There is no future here for you and me
At this time, at this time, at this time
I'd do anything to see your sweet smile
An i'd go anywhere to be with you for just awhile
Isn't it funny how some things are meant to be
There is no future here for you and me
At this time, at this time, at this time
(butterflies and moon beams are fragile things
I guess that's the way it is with love too
Sometimes it just doesn't work out)
I'd do anything to see your sweet smile
An i'd go anywhere to be with you for just awhile
Isn't it funny how some things are meant to be
There is no future here for you and me
At this time, at this time, at this time
3.Dirty Little Secrets
It seems i loved you for so long
It seems like all of my life
Just like a child who doesn't belong
You'd turn, 'til even the sun became your shadow
And i hate you in your innocence, you know
But i hate myself even more for lovin' you so
Sometimes i believed, what you had to say
Then i watched you bleed, all the truth away
Somewhere in my heart, there's a place i know
Where all our dirty little secrets go
Nobody's perfect, certainly not us
We've all got secrets to keep
I would have kept yours safe in my heart
You would have always known where to find me
And i know you better that i know myself, you know
So why pretend you've got somewhere else to go
Sometimes i believed, what you had to say
Then i watched you bleed, all the truth away
Somewhere in my heart, there's a place i know
Where all our dirty little secrets go
Sometimes it hurt so bad that you cry
Then there's the times you wish you had died
Sometimes the truth is worse than the lie, sometimes
Sometimes it's best to lock it away
In a place that's secret and safe
Sometimes you just pretend you don't know
Sometimes it's best to let go
Sometimes i believed, what you had to say
Then i watched you bleed, all the truth away
Somewhere in my heart, there's a place i know
Where all our dirty little secrets go

6.In These Times
What's the use in staying
When everything's a lie
I hear what you're saying
And it makes me want to cry
You know the truth is so overrated
That should come as no surprise
It's all so complicated
Especially in these times
Don't it make you crazy
Don't it make you ask yourself why
Nobody's got an answer
Especially in these times
Life is like a puzzle
Best to chose the edges first
And work back to the middle
To the places where it hurts
Lately i've been thinkin'
Maybe there's a chance for us
If we take it slow now
And don't expect too much
Don't it make you wonder
Don't it make you ask yourself why
Nobody's got an answer
Especially in these times
And don't it make you crazy
Don't it make you ask yourself why
Nobody's got an answer
Especially in these times
Ooh, ooh
(what's the use in stayin', when everything's a lie
And there's nothing sacred, especially in these times)
Hey don't it make you crazy
Don't it make you ask yourself why
Nobody's got an answer
Especially in these times
And don't it make you wonder
Don't it make you ask yourself why
Nobody's got an answer
Especially in these times
In these times
7.I Don't Want To Be Your Friend
Did you see me last night
I was there in the dark
I saw her look at you, the way i used to
When i still had your heart.
I watched you take her hand
There was love in your eyes
I remember when you looked at me that way too
Before we said good-bye
I don't want to be your friend
I just want to be your lover
I don't think i can pretend
That you mean nothing to me
It's hard enough to say good-bye
Even when you know it's over
I don't want to be your friend
I want to be your lover and when i think i've had enough
And i just can't stand the pain
I reminisce about the way it felt
To have you every day
You know that every time i hear your voice
I still get a thrill
And there's nothing i can do about it
Am i gone from your thoughts, forgotten somehow
When you be there with her
Does my memory stir, any part of you now
I know that i should concede, face the truth and all that
I know i should realize i'm not a part of your life anymore,
But i can't
I don't want to be your friend
I just want to be your lover
I don't think i can pretend
That you mean nothing to me
It's hard enough to say good-bye
Even when you know it's over
I don't want to be your friend
I want to be your lover
8.Only You
I lost faith in myself, in everyone and everything around me
I thought i'd disappear, maybe you'd be better off without me
You showed me i was wrong, everybody needs someone
And love is not about perfection
You made no promises
Life is hard enough you said, without you
Only you, only you
You're all that matters
Only you, only you, only you
Only you give me strength
When my world is shattered
Only you, only you, only you
I've walked this road some many times before
You'd think i'd know the way
But like the fool that i am, it always ends the same
You said that everyone deserves a little happiness
No one should have to be alone
Me, i'd be satisfied with just a little tenderness,
With you
Only you, only you
You're all that matters
Only you, only you, only you
Only you break the chain
When my world is shattered
Only you, only you, only you
Only you, only you
You're all that matters
Only you, only you, only you
Only you give me strength
When my world is shattered
Only you, only you, only you
9.Papa's Roses
I picked a rose this morning
And it was so fresh, it looked like it was crying
I thought how sad to be so beautiful
Only to wither and die
Like papa's roses soft and pale
Like petals thrown in the dirt
Only silence is spoken here
All that grows here is hurt
And papa's roses
Papa wasn't really a hardened man
He could be tender at times
I remember, it was like it holiday
When he was gentle and kind
He gave those roses his heart and soul
I wish he'd saved some for me
It would've been such a simple thing,
For me to be, like papa's roses
Like papa's roses soft and pale
Like petals thrown in the dirt
Only silence is spoken here
All that grows here is hurt
And papa's roses
Voices that whisper soft and low
Forever buried inside
Haunted by images dark and cold
Forever burned in your mind
But i dreamed i could fly away
Like an angel i'd fly
To the places where i could forget
Forget that i was like papa's roses
Like papa's roses soft and pale
Like petals thrown in the dirt
Only silence is spoken here
All that grows here is hurt
And papa's roses
10.Purgatory
We will be the forgotten ones
They will shake their heads and pity us
We who sacrificed our sons and daughters
With the sweet taste of victory on our lips
They will cry, but their tears will come too late
There is no redemption for the ones
Who choose to walk in the shadows
Oh sweet redeemer will you save a place for me
I am tired and i'm seeking restitution
Oh will you heal me, will you take away my pain
What i'm looking for is absolution
Getting out of purgatory
Is no small accomplishment
And the price is high
And it comes with its own set of conditions
The choice is never clear and difficult to make
But it will not change them
They will just go on the way they always have
Oh sweet redeemer will you save a place for me
I am tired and i'm seeking restitution
Oh will you heal me, will you take away my pain
What i'm looking for is absolution
11.River Of Love
Hey baby, won't you sit down here next to me
Well i heard you're havin' trouble in love
Yeh, i know how that can be
Now love can hurt, i know it's true
Let me see what i can do
I know a place where you can find love
The kind you always dreamed of
Lets go down to the river-o-love
Let me show you how sweet it can be
Down at the river-o-love
Let the cool, clear water wash over you and me
In the river-o-love
Hey darlin', you know that love is strange
Seems the harder you try to hold on
The further it moves away
I know its hard to understand
But that's okay i got a plan
I know a place where you can find love
The kind you always dreamed of
Lets go down to the river-o-love
Let me show you how sweet it can be
Down at the river-o-love
Let the cool, clear water wash over you and me
In the river-o-love
Lets go down to the river-o-love
Let me drown in the river-o-love
The river-o-love
You don't have to be afraid
Coz i'll be right there by your side
We can take it slow baby
One long sweet ride
Lets go down to the river-o-love
Let me show you how sweet it can be
Down at the river-o-love
Let the cool, clear water wash over you and me
In the river-o-love
Lets go down to the river-o-love
Let me drown in the river-o-love
The river-o-love
12.Strawberry Wine(Life Is Sweet)
How am i supposed to make it through another day
What am i supposed to do now that you've gone away
Is there anything encouraging you can say to me
Did you really think my heart was made of stone
Maybe you never gave it any thought at all
How nice to go through live oblivious and free
Life is sweet, sweet as strawberry wine
And bitter too, like the seeds on the vine
And you are that, you are more than sublime
And bitter too, lovin' you, has been an experience
How am i supposed to ever feel the same
These kind of situations always have a way
Of screwing up your mind and messing with your sanity
How many days and nights will have to come and go
Before i realize what i already know
I'm better off without you like i thought i'd be
Life is sweet, sweet as strawberry wine
And bitter too, like the seeds on the vine
And you are that, you are more than sublime
And bitter too, lovin' you, has been an experience
(spoken) life is sweet
Life is sweet, sweet as strawberry wine
And bitter too, like the seeds on the vine
And you are that, you are more than sublime
And bitter too, lovin' you, has been an experience
Life is sweet, sweet as strawberry wine
And bitter too, like the seeds on the vine
And you are that, you are more than sublime
And bitter too, lovin' you, has been an experience
