INDEPENDENCE

She was drained and bitter
And said "I'll not return"
Well I can't live without her
I guess I'll have to learn

I don't know why she has gone away
All I know is that she's going to stay there
I don't know why she has gone away
All I know is that she's going to stay there

Strong were accusations
I didn't tell her lies
Resisted the temptation
But she bid her goodbyes

I don't know why she has gone away
All I know is that she's going to stay there
I don't know why she has gone away
All I know is that she's going to stay there

UNDERSTAND

Things are not what they appear to be
So don't you fret or worry
And put your arms around me

Don't cry
Don't let's fight
Listen and understand

Rumours circulate that I'm the guilty one
But petty jealousy won't help
To account for what I've done

Don't cry
Don't let's fight
Listen and understand

GOOD INTENTIONS

I savoured every word that you had ever spoken
But now I've learnt the truth that they were said as tokens

It wasn't that you'd lied
(Although I feel so hurt inside)
It's what you have implied
You're full of good intentions

I worshipped the very ground that you had ever stepped on But now I realise that it is me you have conned

It wasn't that you'd lied
(Although I feel so hurt inside)
It's what you have implied
You're full of good intentions

You're full of good intentions

HEART OF STEEL

Take my hand and I'll show you a spot
Where pacifism is crime but murder's not

How many tears cried to break your heart of steel?
How many tears does it take to move you?
To move you

A thousand men draw their last breath
Sacrificed to save your life
They wait for death

How many tears cried to break your heart of steel?
How many tears does it take to move you?
To move you

COME TO ME NOW

Please don't disappoint
That'd be hard to take
I've pinned my hopes on you
Accept me for my sake

I'm needing you right now
But I don't know how
I've practised a thousand times
And I know what I will say

Come to me now
The fear is gone and I'm okay
Come to me now
Forget about my troubles from today
But you don't know what it's been like
No you don't know what it's been like

It's been far too long
Since someone's said those words
Defence from being hurt has lifted instantly
Could you be the one?
I wish I could be sure
If you're really wanting me
Then I know what I will say

Come to me now
The fear is gone and I'm okay
Come to me now
Forget about my troubles from today
But you don't know what it's been like
No you don't know what it's been like

CAPTIVATED

I want to speak to you but it's hard
To say the words that I mean within
They fall from my mouth just like a rock
I must admit I don't know where to begin

But something struck me from the start
And now you've captured my heart
I'm captivated by your smile

I'm really nervous yes it's true
I shake a thousand times just thinking of you
So please please please accept my invitation
I couldn't stand the pain of your rejection

But something struck me from the start
And now you've captured my heart
I'm captivated by your smile

DON'T PRETEND YOU LOVE ME

I can see I'm not unaware
Of things you do when I'm not here
I will know when you're unfair
So don't pretend that you love me

Ever since my time of birth
I've watched and learned all on this earth
Don't treat me as if I'm unconcerned
Don't pretend you love

You might think the time you've spent
Can whitewash all the lies you've said
I knew those words were never meant

So don't pretend that you love me
No don't pretend that you love me

WE DON'T TALK

You may think you are the only one
Who's ever experienced the strain
But I can tell you that I've felt it too
And I can help to ease your pain

But we won't talk about it
We won't talk about it
We won't talk about it too often

If you're needing any comfort
I can provide you all you want
But it's not good to keep things to yourself
Because you can't survive them on your own

But we won't talk about it
We won't talk about it
We don't talk about it too often

YOU NEVER CALL

We'd walk together hand in hand
That is why I can't understand
When you were so in love with me
Or so I thought that you were happy

But something changed your mind and how
And you don't want to know me now
You never call when I need you
You never call when I want you
You never call when I need you
You never call when I want you

I always thought that we'd stay friends
And we'd be together to the end
And I wished that you'd be true
And I would remain beside you

But something changed your mind and how
And you don't want to know me now
You never call when I need you
You never call when I want you
You never call when I need you
You never call when I want you

You never call
(When I need you, when I need you)
You never call
(When I want you, when I want you)
You never call
(When I need you, when I need you)
You never call
(When I want you, when I want you)

I'm so lonely

WEAK

Manufactured glamour is the key
Entice the fans to part with their money

You've no talent of which to speak
And the image is so weak

Squalid drug stories attract the press
Because the music holds no interest

You've no talent of which to speak
And the image is so weak

You've no talent of which to speak
And the image is so weak

TIME TO MOVE ON

In this life I need to be needed
And in my time I want to be wanted
And since it's plain
You are lost for words again
Silence is the cue for me to do what I must do

Time, time to move on

No I can't find what I'm looking for
And if I stayed it's only myself I've betrayed
I'm in a rut
I've offered everything I've got
But you won't take no more
It's time for me to close this door

Time, time to move on
