TONIGHT

I’m walking silent and amazed
Hanging with the ghosts of yesterday
But I’ve been swimming in this empty space too long, too long
A complicated tapestry
Of patterns that imprison me I’m
Tired of circles on my floor from pacing wanting more

Tonight
I’m gonna let it ride
I’m gonna learn to fly
I’m leaving your face behind
Tonight
I’m gonna let it ride
The moonlight will be my guide
I’m leaving this place

Their shadows take the shape of me
I’m tired of trying to be who they want me to be
If only you could see through this disguise and into my eyes
I’m standing on an empty stage
Everyone is watching as I take my place
It’s time to start this play of mine it’s time, it’s time

Tonight
I’m gonna let it ride
I’m gonna learn to fly
I’m leaving your face behind

Tonight
I’m gonna let it ride
The moonlight will be my guide
I’m leaving this place

Day breaking
Behind me
It’s up to fate to find me
Night falling
Chance calling me
Tonight

Tonight
I’m gonna let it ride
I’m gonna learn to fly
I’m leaving your face behind
Tonight
I’m gonna let it ride
The moonlight will be my guide
I’m leaving this place

EMPTY BOTTLES

Wake up to a hangover, an empty shell of me
Doubles are never a good idea after one or two or three a.m.
I called you when I sobered up but I should have known
You’d have better things to do with your time than listen to me
Crying and begging you to come home

It’s a little too late
The buzz is gone
We drank it down fast it didn’t last that long
We got high for a while
On more than we could swallow
And now your love is just an empty bottle, an empty bottle

Dried my tears and made some coffee
Washed these shadows off my face
Still can’t sleep in this big bed we used to share
I think its time for me to move out of this place
Still can’t believe its over and there is nothing I can do
But I know that you’re in love with her
And somewhere in my broken heart I’m happy for you

It’s a little too late
The buzz is gone
We drank it down fast it didn’t last that long
We got high for a while
On more than we could swallow
And now your love is just an empty bottle, an empty bottle

I’m so parched my lips are dry
Your desert love wasteland of lies
You quenched your thirst on my demise
I swallowed every tear I cried

It’s a little too late
The buzz is gone
We drank it down fast it didn’t last that long
We got high for a while
On more than we could swallow
And now your love is just an empty bottle, an empty bottle

BETTER THAN SHE CAN

The dust of night filtered and exposed across your room
Suspended mid-flight dancing and romancing the veil of sunlight that hangs by your
window slowly creeping across your floor and I want more

I can love you I can love you better than she did, better than she could ever
I can love you I can love you better than she did Better than she could ever

Two shadows dance all over your wall in candlelight
We lay in a trance watching each star fall into the twilight and in thru your window
slowly creeping across your floor, but that was before

I can love you I can love you better than she did better than she could ever
I can love you I can love you better than she did better than she could ever

All we left behind I’m sorry for every time I wasn’t there to be your baby

I can love you I can love you better than she did better than she could ever
I can love you I can love you better than she did better than she could ever

CUT ME LOOSE

Do you think that maybe one day we can sit down and maybe have coffee and talk about the love that we shared

Or will you walk on by me in the street cursing the fact that we ever did meet and just pretend that you never cared

You cut me loose
Adrift alone in the water
So cold
Set free to drown
Or swim to shore and start over
On my own

I realize that things were not easy I know the selfish child that I can be sometimes I am impossible to love

You tried your best to make me feel happy lifted me up and motivated me but all you did was never enough

You cut me loose
Adrift alone in the water
So cold
Set free to drown
Or swim to shore and start over
On my own again, on my own again

You cut me loose
Adrift alone in the water
So cold
Set free to drown
Or swim to shore and start over
On my own
