No-one told me
Growing up
Would be this hard, baby
No-one told me
Growing up
Would be this hard
I can see
I see you sitting down
Why can't you be moving to the front
I can see
See I see you sitting down
Why can't you be moving to the front
You told me there's a tomorrow
I don't believe you
You told me that there's time to borrow
You never told me enough
No-one told me
Growing up
Would be this hard, baby
No-one told me
Growing up
Would be this hard
I can see
See I see you sitting down
Why can't you, you be moving to the front
I can see
See I see you sitting down
Why can't you be moving to the front
I am the voice of tomorrow
I make the future
So you tell me that I'm supposed to follow
You never told me enough
No-one told me
Growing up
Would be this hard, baby
No-one told me
Growing up
Would be this hard
You see the pain I feel
Is this all you've got to say to me
Please don't preach to me
You taught me all you can
But you've got no brain-scan
Your advice is no use to me
No-one told me
Growing up
Would be this hard, baby
No-one told me
Growing up
Would be this hard

How long can you hold out against me
How long can you resist to kiss me
Cause you know you want to
You know I want to
I know I want to
You know you want to
But you can't let this be
The reason for a season of love
You're so complicated
And I can't figure you out
You're just so complicated
In every one of your ways
As I've often stated
Girl, I'm not messing you about
You're just so complicated
In everyone of your displays
How long must I pretend to like you
When it's so plain to see I love you
Cause I want to have you
I want to hold you
I want to always be there for you
So please don't be frightened
By the strength with which
I'm holding your heart
You're so complicated
And I can't figure you out
You're just so complicated
In every one of your ways
As I've often stated
Girl, I'm not messing you about
You're just so complicated
In everyone of your displays
You're so complicated
And I can't figure you out
You're just so complicated
In every one of your ways
As I've often stated
Girl, I'm not messing you about
You're just so complicated
In everyone of your displays
You're so complicated
And I can't figure you out
You're just so complicated
In every one of your ways
As I've often stated
Girl, I'm not messing you about
You're just so complicated
In everyone of your displays

Is it fair to write a song to a woman?
Is it fair play to try and win her heart?
Is it right to bring her sonnets
In the morning time?
To express the first few
Longings when they start
To express the first few
Longings when they start
Is it right to let her feelings
Rise to catch you?
Is it OK when her heart begins to fall?
Would you blame me if I
Wrap my words around you girl?
Would I wrong you
To say anything at all?
Would I wrong you
To say anything at all?
But if I wrap my words around you
Wrap my words around you
If I wrap my words around you
Would you stay
Would you stay, would you?
Wrap my words around you
Wrap my words around you
If I wrap my words around you
Would you stay
Would it play with your heart?
Am I a hunter if
I send poems to please you?
Am I a cad if
I mean everything I say?
Should I even let you know
This song's about you girl
Just because I want to see you smile today
And my words may bind you
To me much too tightly
You may choke on them if we fall apart
It's not fair to write a song to a woman
Because a woman takes a song into her heart
Because a woman takes a song into her heart
So let me wrap my words around you
Wrap my words around you
Wrap my words around you
Till you stay, till you stay, let me
Wrap my words around you
Wrap my words around you
Darling, wrap my words around you
Till you stay
. . .

Don't want you looking at the stars tonight
I just want your eyes on me
I wanna be the only thing on your mind
I'll be all you need
Don't want you talking on the phone, don't go out
I just want you here with me
Don't want you spending time alone
Stay around, I'll be all you need
Can't you see you hold my heart in your hands
You own me, you own me
I need you to survive
I know I'm alive when you hold me
Hold me
Don't want to share you with the stars in the night
I only want you to only want me
Now, then and forever
I'm even jealous of the sun in your eyes
I want you looking at me, only me
I want all your attention
Forgive me if I seem to need you too much
You illuminate my soul
Don't think that I could breathe without your touch
You could never know
When I'm with you I've got nothing to hide
You know me, you know me
I need you to survive
I know I'm alive when you hold me
Hold me
Don't want to share you with the stars in the night
I only want you to only want me
Now, then and forever
I'm even jealous of the sun in your eyes
I want you looking at me, only me
I want all your attention
Can't you see you hold my heart in your hands
You own me, you own me
I need you to survive
I know I'm alive when you hold me
Hold me
Don't want to share you with the stars
Don't want the moon to touch your heart
I only want you to only want me
Now, then and forever
I'm even jealous of the sun in your eyes
I want you looking at me, only me
I want all your attention
1 want you looking at me, only me

To love somebody like you
Would take the rest of my life
This is my revelation
I feel my heart falling off
And give my conscience a knife
This is my reservation
This is the way of the moon
Waxing and wane
Fro-ing and to
This is the way of the Sun
At the end of the day
Night always. comes.
This is the way of my youth
Risking it all
Pursuing the truth
This is the way of the world
My love is changing
I really meant what I said
All of it wasn't a lie
You were the one I wanted
But in the new light of day
Affection started to die
Our house of love was haunted
This is the way of the rains
Evaporate up and falling again
This is the way of her smile
It burns in her eyes but lasts for a while
This is the way of the Earth
The cycle of life
Of dying and birth
This is the way of my heart
My love is changing
Season changes
My life changes
Memory changes
My love changes
System changes
My world changes
Jesus, Jesus never changes
This is the way of the rains
Evaporate up and falling again
This is the way of her smile
It bums in her eyes but lasts for a while
This is the way of the Earth
The cycle of life
Of dying and birth
This is the way of my heart

You're my best friend
No you're not
You're my sister, stay in your place
I can't pretend that you're not
Threatening to me,l need my space
I'm not lying, I value survival
Over you
I'm on my own
No I'm not
I've my sister to fight for me
I can't pretend that you won't
Cause you love myself more than me
I'm not lying, so often you choose me
Over you
And I've tried to heal the wounds
Make it as if it never was
And I know I've done my best
But I can never heal the scars
I wanna say I'm sorry but I know I'll do it again
I'll do it again
I know what I did but I still don't know the reason
I wanna say I'm sorry but I know I'll do it again
I'll do it again
I'll do it to you
I don't wanna hurt you anymore
I pull you close
Feel your love
Then I push you away from me
Protect myself
I'm not safe when my boundaries are violated
And it's kill or die
So I choose me
Over you
ADD is my excuse
And with my excuse I shot you down
And I know I've got to change
But I can never work out how
How can I say I'm sorry when I know I'll do it again
Do it again
I know what I did but I still don't know the reason
I wanna say I'm sorry but I know I'll do it again
I'll do it again
I'll do it to you
I don't wanna hurt you anymore
Lash out in anger
Hit the wrong target
My little sister
No matter what I say
I love you so much I cannot leave
But when family get too close
I always find it hard to breathe
How can I say I'm sorry when I know I'll do it again
I'll do it again
I know what I did but I still don't know the reason
How can I say I'm sorry when I know I'll do it again
I'll do it again
I'll do it to you

(D. Bedingfield, D. Hart, E. Apopapoulay)
Hey remember me?
Hard to forget, right?
Insistent, demanding
When we were both sixteen
I remember you in the spotlight
You seemed so in control
Hiding behind your wall
Have you ever met somebody who could
Unmask you
The way you unmask me
Guidelines and sub-routines
You make me forget the things
That I put in place to save my face
But I'm not sure if it's a face worth saving
Show me the real you
And I'll show you the real me
Can we make a second first impression baby
Show me the real you
And I'll show you the real me
Can we make a second first impression, baby
Maybe, maybe, yeah
Seven years have past
Now here I come
I caught the briefest glimpse
I haven't seen it since
When you smile at me
Where'd you smile from
From insecurity
But you're secure with me
Have you never let somebody in to
Unmask you
The way you unmask me
I know it's dangerous
Please don't be afraid because
This is your life I used to live
Now I know It's not a life worth living
Show me the real you
And I'll show you the real me
Can we make a second first impression baby
Show me the real you
And I'll show you the real me
Can we make a second first impression, baby
Maybe, maybe, yeah
I know I'm acting stupid
Can we make a second first impression
I want us to be honest, open
Show your face to me
Show me the real you
And I'll show you the real me
Can we make a second first impression baby
Show me the real you
And I'll show you the real me
Can we make a second first impression, baby
. . .

You can play it hard
You can play it fast
You can play it slow so that it'll last
You can play it cool
You can play it sweet
You can push the tempo
Push the beat
But as soon as you give the game away
Let me tell you my friend
You'll be the last on
Last on
Last on
Don't give'r it all
Don't give'r it all
Don't give'r it all
Don't give'r it all
Don't give'r it all
Don't give'r it all
Don't let her sense the need
You gotta take the lead
But you gotta go easy to succeed
If she don't pick up the phone
You gotta get her alone
So give a tug on the hook
The game is on
But if you lose control and you let her know
Then forget the romance
You'll be the last on
Last on
Last on
Don't give'r it all
Don't give'r it all
Don't give'r it all
Don't give'r it all
Don't give'r it all
Don't give'r it all
I'm getting off at number four
And you'll never see me turn around
Turn around
Don't give'r it all
Don't give'r it all
Don't give'r it all
Don't give'r it all
Don't give'r it all

Broken hearts, broken dreams
They're just some things that love brings
When you learn that its all been a lie
You cry
You find that
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing hurts like love
Nothing brings your heart so much pain
And you'll never learn till you get burned
Till you're burned by the flame
Nothing hurts so bad
Nothing hurts so much
No nothing, hurts, like love
So you gave all you had
How this story turned so sad
Nothing left but the tears in your eyes
You die inside, cause
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing hurts like love
Nothing brings your heart so much pain
And you'll never learn till you get burned
Till you're burned by the flame
Nothing hurts so bad
Nothing hurts so much
No nothing, hurts, like love
So dry your eyes
It's just your turn to learn
Your time to find that
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing hurts like love
Nothing brings your heart so much pain
And you'll never learn till you get burned
Till you're burned by the flame
Nothing hurts so bad
Nothing hurts so much
No nothing, hurts
Like love
. . .

Holiness covers my weaknesses
Melting my selfishness
Cause of you
Try with all my might
But it's your strength inside
Gives me the will to fight the battle through
And it's gotta be the right road
I gotta go where you go
I wanna throw out my arms
And seize the day for you
And it's gotta be the right way
Make sure that you're behind me
Cause you are the breakthrough light
You're my one true sight, oh you
Loneliness plays to my darkness
Caressing my vengefulness
When you're not here
As pressure destroys my mind
You conquer me every time
By mending the brokenness
Behind my fears
And it's gotta be the right road
I gotta go where you go
I wanna throw out my arms
And seize the day for you
And it's gotta be the right way
Make sure that you're behind me
Cause you are the breakthrough light
You're my one true sight, oh you
I can now look up
And face my deepest shades
And the fire across my bow
'Cause you know me
And I know you
And it's gotta be the right road
I gotta go where you go
I wanna throw out my arms
And seize the day for you
And it's gotta be the right way
Make sure that you're behind me
Cause you are the breakthrough light
You're my one true sight, oh you
And it's gotta be the right road
I gotta go where you go
I wanna throw out my arms
And seize the day for you
And it's gotta be the right way
Make sure that you're behind me
Cause you are the breakthrough light

Walking down the same worn paths again
Do you fly?
Do you?
I'd correct my own way
If I could
If I should
Should do
I will play the same old notes again
Do you write?
Do you?
I'd compose a new chord
If I could
If I should
I should do
All the other children
Love to sing along
But it's my song
I'm supposed to go back
To the first key
But I won't
I'll change it
Do I have to play by all the rules?
Well I won't
I'm changing
Guess I'll have to stick out
From the rest
"He's not right, break him"
Guess I'll have to try to be the best
"That sounds good, we'll take him"
All the other children
Want to sing along
But it's my song
I'll compose a new song
From my heart
Do you like?
Do you?
I'll compose a new song
For the world
Will you sing?
Will you?
I'll breathe my soul
Into the sun
He's the light, burning
And I'll shine down on everyone
Set your hearts a-turning
All your little children
They will sing along
. . .

I see the spirit moving
In the very fabric of the universe
I tell you so
You see the power in your hand
To ease the suffering of a dying child
You tell me so
I reach for stars
But you are keeping
Both feet firmly planted
On the ground
Or so I've found
I wrestle with eternal questions
You wrestle with the here and now
Cause you're here now
It breaks my heart
That your alluring eye
Are blind to what I see
It's tragic that the quests
That move our live
Are just so different
But I would draw you into my heart
If your eyes weren't closed to me
And I would draw you into the world
Behind the one you see
If I could speak my mind
Then I would take you to secret places
Only ours to find
Your spirit longs to breathe
If only you'd believe
I look for miracles
And search for the miraculous
Along my way
You seem to say
The opposite is true for you
You just seem satisfied
With what you find each day
Your life's OK
Your spirit's lost and wandering in the sand
I swear I hear your voice
Crying save me from the desert
Take my hand
Lead me to water
But I would draw you into my heart
If your eyes weren't closed to me
And I would draw you into the world
Behind the one you see
If I could speak my mind
Then I would take you to secret places
Only ours to find
Your spirit longs to breathe

A kiss without commitment's
Like a flower without the rain
It only leads to pain
And it fills my heart with emptiness
Your touch without commitment's
Like a calm before the storm
The tears are starting to form in my eyes
When I kissed you I was curious
The child that I was
I never realised I would love you so
And in the magic of the moment
I was swept to the side
And I saw your heart
So small and tender
Physical is fine
But I cannot avoid the pain
I'm like an express train
As I surge towards the mountains
I am certain as I'm livin'
I cannot do this again
We're much too greater friends
To play games
When I kissed you it was
Everything I dreamed it would be
But I never dreamed it would mean so much to me
And our friendship is too valuable to carelessly lose
So today I choose
To really love you
Jessica your heart is
Like a newly budding rose
Expanding as she grows
Your petals have been bruised
But you have so much love to give
And it's so beautiful to see
You're beautiful to me, my friend
And when I kissed you
I believed it wouldn't get in the way
I want to stay your friend and have it fine
And I'm hoping that our God can make great things of our lives
His love survives
The greatest struggles
Jessica your gate is open, nothing in your way
A friend you'll always stay to me
Whatever else we're gonna be
A friend
You'll always stay to me

Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
(Hey)
The grim reaper tried to waste me
The Almighty swayed his side
That freaks me out
But mostly I'm just glad to say
I am alive
I am alive
I am alive
I'm not dead
(Doo doo doo doo)
I'm not dead
(Doo doo doo doo)
I'm not dead
(Doo doo doo doo)
I'm not dead
(Doo doo doo doo)
Didn't die
Still alive
I'm not dead
(Doo doo doo doo)
I'm not dead
(Doo doo doo doo)
I'm not dead
(Doo doo doo doo)
I'm not dead
(Doo doo doo doo)
I'm not dead
You come when you're told
You come when you're told
You come when you're told
You come when you're told
You come when
