Idina Menzel Album

When you ask me, who I am:
What is my vision? And do I have a plan?
Where is my strength? Have I nothing to say?
I hear the words in my head, but I push them away.

'Cause I stand for the power to change,
I live for the perfect day.
I love till it hurts like crazy,
I hope for a hero to save me.
I stand for the strange and lonely,
I believe there's a better place.
I don't know if the sky is heaven,
But I pray anyway.

And I don't know
What tomorrow brings
The road less traveled
Will it set us free?
Cause we are taking it slow,
These tiny legacies.
I don't try and change the world;
LyricsBut what will you make of me?

'Cause I stand for the power to change,
I live for the perfect day.
I love till it hurts like crazy,
I hope for a hero to save me.
I stand for the strange and lonely,
I believe there's a better place.
I don't know if the sky is heaven,
But I pray anyway.

With the slightest of breezes
We fall just like leaves
As the rain washes us from the ground
We forget who we are
We can't see in the dark
And we quickly get lost in the crowd

'Cause I stand for the power to change,
I live for the perfect day.
I love till it hurts like crazy,
I hope for a hero to save me.
'Cause I stand for the power to change,
I live for the perfect day.
I love till it hurts like crazy,
I hope for a hero to save me.
I stand for the strange and lonely,
I believe there's a better place.
I don't know if the sky is heaven,
But I pray anyway

Better To Have Loved:
Ooh
Better To Have Loved...
Ooh
If the sun went down tomorrow and it never came back
And the city went quiet and we fade to black
Well I won't have a single regret
And I wouldn't trade a thing
Cause I never knew I could feel what I feel inside of me

Better to have loved than never loved at all
Better to have dreamed than never taken the fall
Better to have loved you and let you in than never to have touched your skin
Better to have hurt and screamed and cried
Fall into the earth for a trip to the sky
Better to have loved
You

Better to have Loved:
I knew all the time I was taking a chance
When I stand there on the edge of the cliff and no one was holding my hand
LyricsWell the wind blew strong and the clouds rolled in and I, I felt us lift off the ground
Yes I bared my soul and I dared to go knowing one day you might let me down

Better to have loved than never loved at all
Better to have dreamed than never taken the fall
Better to have loved you and let you in than never to have touched your skin
Better to have hurt and screamed and cried
Fall into the earth for a trip to the sky
Better to have loved
You

I gave you everything but to have said goodbye

Better to have loved than never loved at all
Better to have dreamed than never taken the fall
Better to have loved you and let you in than never to have touched your skin
Better to have hurt and screamed and cried
Fall into the earth for a trip to the sky
Better to have loved, better to have loved
You

I don't know just where i'm going
and tomorrow it's a little overwhelming
and the air is cold and i'm not the same anymore
I've been running in your direction for too long now
I've lost my own reflection
and I can't look down if you're not there to catch me when I fall

If this is the moment I stand here on my own
If this is my right of passage that somehow leads me home
I might be afraid but it's my turn to be brave
If this is the last chance before we say goodbye
at least it's the first day of the rest of my life
I can't be afraid 'cause it's my turn to be brave

All along all I ever wanted was to be the light when your life was daunting
but i can't see mine when I feel as though you're pushing me away
Well, whose to blame?
Are we making the right choices?
'Cause we can't be sure if we're hearing our own voices
As we close the door even though we are so desperate to stay

LyricsIf this is the moment I stand here on my own
If this is my right of passage that somehow leads me home
I might be afraid but it's my turn to be brave
If this is the last chance before we say goodbye
at least it's the first day of the rest of my life
I can't be afraid 'cause it's my turn to be brave

and I might still cry
and I might still bleed
these thorns in my side
this heart on my sleeve
and lightning may strike this ground at my feet
and I might still crash
but I still beleive

This is the moment I stand here all alone
With everything I have inside everything I own
I might be afraid but it's my turn to be brave

If this is the last time before we say goodbye
at least it's the first day of the rest of my life
I can't be afraid it's my turn to be brave

In a perfect world, in another time
In a far off place we wouldn't need to justify
Everything we are
And all that we believe
We could finally be
Whoever we both want to be
And when we can't be heard,
And when we can't be seen
I will call you close and
You will reach for me.

When all of the beauty turns to pain
When all of the madness falls like rain
As long as we crash and we collide
We will be gorgeous, you and I.

Through the window pane,
Through the bedroom door
This city wants to fight
But it can't touch us anymore
We have come so far,
LyricsWe have shed our skin
The more that's taken from us now,
The more we have to give
And when we can't be heard,
And when we can't be seen
I will call you close and
You will reach for me.

When all of the beauty turns to pain
When all of the madness falls like rain
As long as we crash and we collide
We will be gorgeous, you and I.

And when we are drowning in the noise
I'm gonna stop to hear your voice
As long as we crash and we collide
We will be gorgeous, you and I.

(We'll be gorgeous)
(We'll be gorgeous)
In the perfect time
(We'll be gorgeous)

And when we lose our faith
In all that's beautiful
You lift me to this place

When all of the beauty turns to pain
When all of the madness falls like rain
As long as we crash and we collide
We will be gorgeous, gorgeous, yeah

And when we are drowning in the noise
I'm gonna stop to find your voice
As long as we crash and we collide
We will be gorgeous, we will be gorgeous
(you and I)

And when I lose my faith
I don't know what to do
You lift me to this place
And make me feel so beautiful
As long as you're right here by my side
We will be gorgeous, you and I

Where do I begin my love?
Starting with the things I haven't said enough of
Starting with the day you changed my life and ending with the way I feel tonight
Where do I begin?

Where do I belong if you're not here?
This is way beyond my darkest fear
Don't know where I am or where I start
The trail in between is way too far
Where do I begin?

I've always counted all my blessings
Knowing you'll defend me, stand by my side
I always turn and lose my sense's each time I intended words to come out right
Where do I begin my love?

Maybe with the morning you brought me the sun
Maybe with the stars from out of space
You took a few and lit up my face
Where do I begin?

LyricsI've always counted all my blessings
Knowing you'll defend me, stand by my side
I always turn and lose my senses each time I intended for these words would come out right

Where do I begin my love?
I always read the last page instead of the first one
There's no need to rush it all in
I love you and I'll say it again
Where do I begin?
Where do we begin?

Where do you go?
When you're alone and in your head
Why do they know you?
Is your story painted in red?
What do you see?
What do you dream when you're awake?
What have they seen of you?
Are you afraid of what's been said?

And if time stood still
If you won't be your witness
No one ever will

I hear a voice that's in my head
Don't let me down
'Cause I can't hold the future in my head
So many things I should have said
Don't let me down
'Cause I would be a lucky girl if time stood on it's head
Don't let me down

LyricsDon't let me down
Don't let them see
These shadows fallen over me
Where do you go?
When you're awake and in your head?
Why do they know you?
Is your story painted in red?

And if time stood still
If I can't be my teacher
No one ever will

I hear a voice that's in my head
Don't let me down
'Cause I can't hold the future in my head
So many things I should have said
That let me let me down

And I can't choose the road ahead
Close my eyes and hold my breath
Hope my little debt won't let me down
And I can't choose the road ahead
And close my eyes and hold my breath
Hope my little death won't let me down

And if time stood still
If I can't be my teacher
No one ever will

I hear a voice that's in my head
Don't let me down
'Cause I can't hold the future in my head
So many things I should have said
That let me let me down

I hear a voice that's in my head
Don't let me down
'Cause I can't hold the future in my head
So many things I should have said
That let me let me down

'Cause I would be a lucky girl if time stood on it's head
Don't let me down

Like a prima ballerina
I tip toe, tip toe around you constantly
I hear the water running
Will it wash your tears or leak through the ceiling?
Make my way up a spiral staircase
Hope to God you had a good day

When you're furious
When you start to freeze
When you can't be touched
I feel everything
And when you despair
When you cannot breathe
When you wouldn't dare
I feel everything
When you're in ecstasy
But you're not with me
I feel everything

On a tightrope
On a wire
LyricsI'll attempt to jump through a ring of fire
I am waiting all the while
For a glimpse of something to bring us higher
One little foot in front of the other
Don't you know I'm afraid of thunder

When you're furious
When you start to freeze
When you can't be touched
I feel everything
And when you despair
When you cannot breathe
When you wouldn't dare
I feel everything
When you're in ecstasy
But you're not with me
I feel everything

Oh

There's a fine line between love and hurting
And knowing when to walk away

Like a prima ballerina
I will tiptoe tiptoe around you constantly

When you're furious
When you start to freeze
When you can't be touched
I feel everything
And when you despair
When you cannot breathe
When you wouldn't dare
I feel everything
When you're in ecstasy
But you're not with me
I feel everything
When you can't be touched
When you can't be loved
When you fall apart
When you have no heart
I feel everything

We thought it had it all
We thought we'd go unscathed
We thought our love would border on infinity
We thought that we were free
The world would disappear
We left ourselves wide open and we had no fear

But forever came and went
Forever stumbled through
Forever had poor sense of time and made a mess of me and you
Forever had us fooled
We fell for it again
Now time is standing still forever

Lying next to you
But you're already gone
Too much has been said and it can't be undone
It's so hard to comprehend
When ashes fade to dust
I touch your water and the iron turns to dust

LyricsSo forever came and went
Forever stumbled through
Forever had poor sense of time and made a mess of me and you
Forever had us fooled
We fell for it again
Now time is standing still forever came and went

We thought it had it all
We thought we'd go unscathed
We thought our love would border on infinity
Forever was a shame
Stole a little piece of us
To live up to it's name was just really too

Forever came and went
Forever stumbled through
Forever had poor sense of time and made a mess of me and you
Forever came and went
Forever stumbled through
Forever had poor sense of time and made a mess of me and you
Forever had us fooled
We fell for it again
Now time is standing still forever came and went
Oh I thought we had it all
Oh oh oh I thought we had it all, every day until the end
You & me, oh

In the roses, in the spring, I remember
There was a time I wasn't afraid of anything
With the lilacs and the rain
One day you went away
I remember
I forgot everything

My mother's always trying to tell me
How to be grateful, how to believe
My father's always trying to say
Baby, you're beautiful in every way
My lover's always got me in his arms
Trying to protect me, keep me from harm
So why do I always have to be
My worst, my own worst enemy

In the shadows, in the grays, in the lonely

There is a place
Where we can all hide away
But in the windows of the soul
LyricsThere is nowhere we can go
If we keep running
Running from our destiny

Say I walk on water
Say I walk on the moon
But it's never enough
No it's never enough, no it's never enough
Say I'm only human
It's all in my head
But it's never enough
No it's never enough, no it's never enough
One day I'll find my alibi

A crack in the smile
But she's always in style while she waits
Waving goodbye but she's too tired to cry and she's wasted
A letter he wrote
But it's far too expose so he throws it away
The sound of regret as it's counting the steps back to safe

I don't want to leave you with perfume and promises
But we'll never know 'till we capture and bottle it
'Cause wouldn't it be such a shame
If all was wasted

Not an inch of the room
That isn't in bloom or in light
So we drink 'till its dawn
Every drip 'till it's gone and we're wasted
It's a thing of the truth
But we'll lie and we'll look for the perfect escape
And the moment will go like melted snow in the rain

I don't want to leave you with perfume and promises
LyricsBut we'll never know 'till we capture and bottle it
Cause wouldn't it be such a shame
If all was wasted

Stay for another morning
Study the curves on my face
Stay even when we're unknowing
Stay 'till they tear you away

I don't want to leave you with perfume and promises
But we'll never know 'till we capture and bottle it
Cause wouldn't it be such a shame
If all was wasted

It's October again
Leaves are falling down like rain
One more year's come and gone
But nothing's changed
Wasn't I supposed to be someone
Who could face the things that I've been running from?

Let me feel
I don't care if I break down
Let me fall
Even if I hit the ground
If I cry a little
And die a little
At least I know I lived
Just a little
Let me feel
Let me fall

I become much too good at being invincible
I'm an expert at 'play it safe' and 'keep it cool'
But I swear this is not who I'm meant to be
LyricsI refuse to let my life fall over me

Let me feel (let me feel)
I don't care if I break down
Let me fall (let me fall)
Even if I hit the ground
If I cry a little (cry)
And die a little (die)
At least I know I lived
Just a little
Let me feel
Let me fall

Yes, I'm gonna be someone (gonna be)
If I take it as it comes
If I face the things that I've been running from
I've been running from

Let me feel (let me feel)
I don't care if I break down
Let me fall (let me fall)
Even if I hit the ground
If I cry a little (cry)
And die a little (die)
At least I know I lived
Just a little
Let me feel
Let me fall

It's October again
The leaves are falling down like rain
Oh...
