TURN YOUR LOVE AWAY

Tell me the truth did you ever feel the same?
One minute you kiss me then you turn your love away

You try to be honest that you really wanted the same
You say that you'll miss me then you turn your love away

You've turned your love away

The tales that you're telling are taller than the trees
Like you'll love me forever then you turn your love away

Don't believe in you anymore, all you've caused me is trouble and pain
Now I can't wait to move on because you've turned your love away

You've turned your love away

HEADLINES

They intrude with a telephoto lens
And interview for quotes with so-called friends
Everywhere I go I'm ostracised
Every step I take is scrutinised

You made your choice and I'll take mine
But everyone knows there's no smoke without fire

They moralise in editorial lines
Whilst journalists dig dirt that they can't find
Now every breath exhaled is analysed
And everywhere I go I'm victimised

You made your choice and I'll take mine
But everyone knows there's no smoke without fire

"It's in your head" - when they won't leave me alone
"It's in your head" - when they tape me on the 'phone
"It's in your head" - that's what the papers said
"It's in your head" - when they hound a man to death

Everywhere I go I'm ostracised
Every step I take is scrutinised
Now every breath exhaled is analysed
And everywhere I go I'm victimised

LOVE STRIKES EVERYONE (BUT ME)

I believe I'm special
I believe I'm unique
So tell me why I feel my life is incomplete
I want to be admired
I want to be adored
I just need to be so cherished
Not dismissed or ignored

Love strikes everyone but me
No-one ever notices when I pass them in the street
Love strikes everyone but me
I'm the only person who Cupid will never reach

I believe I'm caring
I believe I'm great
So tell me why indifference is served upon my plate
I want to be desired
I want to be thought of as someone who can give
And someone can you love

Love strikes everyone but me
No-one ever notices when I pass them in the street
Love strikes everyone but me
I'm the only person who Cupid will never reach

FALLING DOWN

I always had to prove my worth
While others came you put them first
I couldn't let you down like other people did
I'd always be around whenever you needed

You couldn't put your arms around me
You never said how much you loved me
That time has gone, it's reached the end
I think of all the time I spent
When I couldn't let you down like other people did
I'd always be around whenever you needed

You couldn't put your arms around me
You never said how much you loved me

SHATTERED DREAMS

You will find all your dreams shattered
And they will be all the ones that mattered
It's the law of life that everything goes wrong
Well it does for me whenever I'm involved

You will find all your plans will founder
As soon as they are finalised you know they're grounded
It's the rule of thumb that everything goes wrong
Well it does for me wherever I'm involved

HAUNTED

I hear you calling although there's no-one there
I see your shadow imprinted everywhere
The wind shrieks, the floor creaks, the trees all seem to howl
I've never felt as haunted as I am feeling now

I can't get away from the things you do to me
(Hurting me, haunting me)
I can't get away

At night on my pillow I dream that you've returned
The sun shines on better times, that much I've come to learn
Then I wake in a cold sweat released from your spell
At these times I wish that I could be with you now

I can't get away from the things you do to me
(Hurting me, haunting me)
I can't get away

EVER LOVE YOU

How can I try to ever find someone like you?
I've been so lonely I can't help but think so much of you

I've often dreamt I'd run into your open arms
How can you be so sure
He'll ever love you more?

What would you think if you could see the way I am
It'd drive me to drink If only I liked alcohol!

I've often dreamt I'd run into your open arms
How can you be so sure
He'll ever love you more?

DON'T LET LOVE PASS YOU BY

I know it hurts
You think you'll make the same mistakes
But hiding won't help
Nothing ventured is nothing gained

Don't let love pass you by

It's hard I know
You can't forget the pain you felt
In time the wounds will heal
You'll be ready to start anew

Don't let love pass you by

IF I WAS STRONGER

When I'm down I don't know where to begin
The true test of strength comes from within

And if I was stronger I'd push myself
If I was stronger I'd move away
If I was stronger...

And when I'm low I can't think ahead
Shouldn't dwell on the past but plan a future instead

And if I was stronger I'd force myself
If I was stronger I'd turn away
If I was stronger I'd lift myself
If I was stronger I'd break away
If I was stronger I'd push myself
If I was stronger I'd move away
If I was stronger I'd force myself
If I was stronger I'd turn away
If I was stronger I'd lift myself
If I was stronger I'd break away

NEVER GONNA FIND ANYONE

I reasoned once, concluded twice
That I would never cut the ice
I was in doubt, I'm now certain
I've had my one and only turn

Never gonna find anyone
Never gonna meet anyone
Never gonna love anyone

I cleared my mind to recollect
What I have missed since we had split
A love so deep it's hard to face
To know that you can't be replaced

Never gonna find anyone
Never gonna meet anyone
Never gonna love anyone

TENDER TOUCH

We finished in a rush and now I long for your tender touch
I don't know why
The reasons weren't clear although I still want you to be here
By my side

But you were never satisfied
And however hard I tried
I could not have kept you
You've hurt me

It ended all too fast
How I long for our happy past
When you were mine
You were often quick to attack although I still hope to have you back
In my life

But you were never satisfied
And however hard I tried
I could not have kept you
You've hurt me

DON'T TURN AWAY

Don't know what I'm looking for
(Don't turn away)
Don't know even if I'm sure
(Don't turn away)
Don't know if I could love anymore
(Don't turn away)

Some men think they can take their pick
(I'm not like that)
That approach just makes me sick
(I'm not like that)
But you cannot change their reasoning
(it's too inbuilt)

Too much pressure in a pack
A certain way that you must act

Don't know what I'm looking for
(Don't turn away)
Don't know even if I'm sure
(Don't turn away)
Don't know if I could love anymore
(Don't go away)

Don't go away



DON'T MENTION HER NAME

Don't mention her name because I will fall apart again
Don't mention her name
It will only break my heart again

You'll bring it back to me
When I hear you say
It's her with him you've seen
Then tears will roll down my face

Don't mention her name
My love for her was far too deep
Don't mention her name because I will struggle hard to keep

My feelings in control
As soon as you explain
You've seen her in the town
Returning all my pain

Don't mention her name
