Lemar Album

The reason
Are you the reason
You are the reason
The reason
You are the reason
You are, are

Spirals
And roundabouts
Empty promises
That's what life's about
Set free when we're sleeping
Recaptured every down
Unaware what the fight is
Yet we all carry on

[Pre-Chorus 1:]
This cannot by existence
There's got to be more to life
You sent me divine intervention
Gave me the key to life

[Pre-Chorus 2:]
Needed something to believe in
Love come along
Never heard it calling
Caught up in a world living life
So selfish
You came along
Now it all makes sense

[Chorus:]
You are the reason [x7]

[Verse:]
Life is the lesson
The student is the teacher
The begger is the rich man
And we're all just a little weaker
Than we make ourselves
Out to be
See, people need people
So why do I stand alone?
I can't make it my own

[Pre-Chorus 1]

[Pre-Chorus 2]

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
Needed something to believe in
Love come along
Never heard it calling
Caught up in a world living life
So selfish
You came along
And when I had nothing
And when I had nothing
You gave me something
You gave me something

[Chorus]

You are the reason
You are the reason

It's like, chasing shadows
I never seem to win
Just when I'm over you
I feel myself falling again
No hope of grace,
I'm loosing faith
All I can do is pray...

Can u hear me
Can u hear me ohh...
Can u hear me

Chorus:
Cuz it feels like the weight of the world
Have the angels turned their back on me
It feels like the weight of the world
Can't let go of what we use to be
And though my cries have gone unheard and I'm left on my knees
It feels like the weight of the world
Cuz I still remember how it felt
When u loved me... when u loved me oh...

Verse:
I got no rule to follow
Left with no eyes to see
No love to borrow,
Since u left I can barely breathe
In my lonely place and it can't be traced
All I can do is pray...

Can u hear me
Can u hear me ohh
Can u hear me

Chorus:
It feels like the weight of the world
Have the angels turned their back on me
It feels like the weight of the world
Can't let go of what we use to be
And though my cries have gone unheard and I'm left on my knees
It feels like the weight of the world
Cuz I still remember how it felt
When u loved me...
When u loved me...

Bridge:
Love me again or set me free
Love me again
Love me again or set me free

Chorus:
It feels like the weight of the world
Have the angels turned their back on me
It feels like the weight of the world
Can't let go of what we use to be
And though my cries have gone unheard and I'm left on my knees
It feels like the weight of the world
Cuz I still remember how it felt
When u loved me...
You loved me oh...
Say u love me, again...
When u love me...

Give it to me

I've been around the world a few times.
I never seen a girl like her.
You got that kind of body that makes a man wanna buy the whole bottle.
It's amazing, the way you got me, ready to spend anything.
Boy ya kisses, wait a minute think I had a little too much to drink

Tell me what you want, because you can have it all baby
I can be your man and you can be my own lady.

She can pop it down. Ah ha
Nearly hit the ground for ya. Ah ha.
Turn it all around. Ah ha
Then she'll back it up for ya.

But she's sophisticated that you made it here tonight
Know exactly what has been missing from my life
Little miss heartbreaker
Little miss heartbreaker
Little miss heartbreaker
Won't ya shake what your mamma gave ya

Little miss heartbreaker
Little miss heartbreaker
Little miss heartbreaker
Won't you shake what your mamma gave ya

Every time she goes to walk past I can feel my world shaking
The way she got my heart going
Messing around won't make it (won't make it)
Hallelujah Hallelujah
Girl you really got me going.
Once upon a time I was blind. But now I got my eyes open. (Wide open)

Looks good to me like ice cream and cake
And you can feed it to me like it's my birthday

She can pop it down. Ah ha
Nearly hit the ground for ya
Turn it all around ah ha
Then she'll back it up for ya

But she's sophisticated that you made it here tonight
Know exactly what has been missing from my life
Little miss heartbreaker
Little miss heartbreaker
Little miss heartbreaker
Won't ya shake what your mamma gave ya

Little miss heartbreaker
Little miss heartbreaker
Little miss heartbreaker
Won't you shake what your mamma gave ya

Taken my heart, more then you'll know
Hate to see you go, but I love to see you walk away
Breaking my heart more then you'll know
Hate to see you go, but I love to see you walk away (walk away)

Little miss heartbreaker
Little miss heartbreaker
Little miss heartbreaker
Won't you shake what your mamma gave ya

Little miss heartbreaker
Little miss heartbreaker
Little miss heartbreaker
Won't you shake what your mamma gave ya

She says I never listen and I'm not attentive to her emotions
I say she's got a tunnel vision, only sees it her way,
so we never can work it out.
She's all ready to give up and move on, I don't think she knows,
how I wish sometimes she could read my mind.

CHORUS
If she knew how bad I wanna make this work,
how my love belongs to her,
she wouldn't be able to walk away.
If she knew how bad I gotta have her close,
if I ever let her go, I wouldn't make it a single day,
she would never have to ask again
if she knew how bad

I've got it
Gotta find a way now to tell her how I feel before it is over
I guess I could have done things better
I never should have let things get this far
She's all ready to give up and move on,
I don't think she knows
How I wish sometimes she could read my mind

CHORUS

The thought of loosing her because I did something wrong
I guess I should have been there whenever she needed someone
It's a feeling that I know would kill me, cause
she's my heart, my soul, my love
I would never give her up

CHORUS

If she knew how bad
how bad I really love her
how bad, how bad,
if she only knew how,
how bad I really love her
I just can't live without her
If she knew how bad,
if she knew how bad

Baby baby trust me,
I won't ever fool around,
Baby if you trust me,
I'm gonna turn my life around.
I may go out,
I might go twisting,
And I may dance every night away.
But while I'm out,
It's you I'll be missing,
And I'll be wishing,
That I could be spending,
The night with you, you,
With you, you.

Birds can't fly without their wings,
Tomorrow can't be spring,
If today is summer.
Foolish, the things that you let pass,
The questions that we ask,
Cause I've been sold this thing called love.

Now tell me we can get through this,
I never meant to do it,
I really want us to make it,
I don't want you to fight it,
Anymore anymore anymore
Anymore anymore anymore
Anymore any-m anymore.

Baby baby trust me,
I won't ever fool around,
Baby if you trust me,
I'm gonna turn my life around.
I may go out,
I might go twisting,
And I may dance every night away.
But while I'm out,
It's you I'll be missing,
And I'll be wishing,
That I could be spending,
The night with you, you
With you, you.

Children, always wondering why,
And even angels cry,
Because cause it's only healthy.
Lovers, only claim their name
Because they burn in flame
Always warms their heart.

I never meant to break it,
It was never the taking
I saw the sun in the morning
I don't wanna be lying
Anymore anymore anymore
Anymore anymore anymore
Anymore any-m anymore.

Baby baby trust me,
I won't ever fool around,
Baby if you trust me,
I'm gonna turn my life around.
I may go out,
I might go twisting,
And I may dance every night away.
But while I'm out,
It's you I'll be missing,
And I'll be wishing,
That I could be spending,
The night with you, you
With you, you.

Baby baby trust me
I wanna be with you.

Do, do, do, do, I do, do, do, do
I do, do, do, do, I do, do, do, do, I do

Demons try to bring me down
They don't know that I'm over you
Visions seek me out at night
They don't know that I'm over you

Over you, over you
Getting over you, over you
That's what I do

Hopes and ideas still lingering here
They don't know that I'm over you
That tingling down my spine whenever you would come around
Don't know that I'm over you

See anyone can tell just by looking at me
Everything's getting better
I'm getting there slowly by bits and degrees
Everything's getting better, better

Over you, over you
I'm getting over you, over you
That's what I do

Do, do, do, do, I do, do, do, do
I do, do, do, do, I do, do, do, do, I do

I tell the butterflies up in here for no apparent reason that
That I'm getting over you
I tell my way my heart prepare for yet another season
'Cause I'm getting over you

Tell the mourners in black get out of my room
And don't come back 'cause I'm getting over you
And that sad eyed hound follow me all over town
But I'm getting over

See anyone can tell just by looking at me
My wounds are getting better
As I sit here I learn more about me
My life is getting better, better

Over you, over you
Getting over you, over you

Over you, over you
Getting over you, over you
That's what I do, that's what I do
That's what I do

Do, do, do, do, I do, do, do, do
I do, do, do, do, I do, do, do, do, I do
That's what I do, that's what I do

Birds in the sky you know how I feel
Over you
That's what I do

Mayday,
I gotta return to base,
I been, hit so hard,
Spinning, all over the place,
And i, cant regain control,
Dont think i'll make it home,
Is anyboday listening, on the radio?

Gotta abort this mission,
Too many lost in action,
So many wounds that can't heal up,
Both my wings have been broken,
Ohhhh Ohhhhh Ohhhhh

Help me,
I can barely breathe, i got cabin fever,
Lost control so suddenly,
And i'm trapped inside my head,
And every diary's read,
Cant see through the tears,
Somebody let me outta here

Gotta abort this mission,
Too many lost in action,
Cut too deep i keep bleeding,
I cant speak i keep choking,
Ohhhh Ohhhhh Ohhhhh

Mayday,
I gotta return to base,
I been hit so hard,
Left with a life long scar,
See i faught so hard,
Way up there in the sky,
But its only when you fall,
Thats when you realise..

Gotta abort this mission,
Too many lost in action,
So many wounds that can't heal up,
Both my wings have been broken,
Cut too deep i keep bleeding,
I cant speak i keep choking,
Theres too many lost in action,
Theres too many lost

Ohhhh Ohhhh Ohhhhhhh

Everybody wants to know what we got between us
'Cause they don't see us when we're alone
Or when we talk on the phone, no
They ain't even got no idea about us 'cause we ain't tyna
Let nobody step in and pull us of this zone

Do I think your fly? But I don't wanna pressure you to
Do anything you don't wanna do, no
'Cause we got a lotta time and I plan on being with you
For the rest of my life, girl I waited, so I

I'm gonna wait for you even if it takes forever
Ever, ever, ever
That's what a real man's supposed to do
Ain't gonna give you no pressure, ever, ever, ever

I'm gonna wait here 'til the time is right baby
'Cause I know when you say yes, Imma fill your appetite
So I'm gonna wait for you even if it takes forever
Ever, ever, ever

Now baby I know you're hearing things about girls I had before you
But that don't change a thing between us
Girl you know we got chemistry that can't be replaced
By anybody or by anything

Think you're fly? But I don't wanna pressure you to
Do anything you don't wanna do
We got a lotta time and I plan on being with you
For the rest of my life, I waited, so I

I'm gonna wait for you even if it takes forever
Ever, ever, ever
That's what a real man's supposed to do
Ain't gonna give you no pressure, ever, ever, ever

I'm gonna wait here 'til the time is right baby
'Cause I know when you say yes, Imma fill your appetite
So I'm gonna wait for you even if it takes forever
Ever, ever, ever

There's a million things I wanna do
But I'm gon' put your feelings first
No way that I'm gonna hurt my baby
Making you do things you ain't ready to
So I'm gonna wait baby as long as it takes for you

I'm gonna wait for you even if it takes forever
Ever, ever, ever
That's what a real man's supposed to do
Ain't gonna give you no pressure, ever, never ever

I'm gonna wait here 'til the time is right baby
'Cause I know when you say yes, Imma fill your appetite, yeah
So I'm gonna wait for you even if it takes forever
Ever, ever, ever

That's what I'm supposed to do

I'm gonna wait here 'til the time is right baby
'Cause I know when you say yes, Imma fill your appetite, yeah
So I'm gonna wait for you even if it takes forever
Ever, ever, ever

I ain't got paid it, you ain't got laid shouting for all the wrong reasons
People need someone to blame so here we go again
You hit me with the left, I block you with my right
It's drivin' me insane, another day, another fight

So you storm across the room
I know that look in your eyes standin' there in your underwear
Hurt so bad when we break up
Hurt so good when we make up

It's not what you say to me baby
It's what you do that makes me love you
Not what you say to me darlin'
It's what you do that makes me love you

You're always mad, you love to throw glass
At everything that could go wrong, has already up and gone
And it's like cussin' is okay and we both don't wanna lose
Once upon a time I was your man not your fool

But when I go to get those keys 'cause I'm thinkin' that its over
You stand right there in my favorite underwear
Hurt so bad when we break up
Hurt so good when we make up

It's not what you say to me baby
It's what you do that makes me love you
Not what you say to me darlin'
It's what you do that makes me love you

Action speak louder than words
A real man knows what a woman's worth
He knows he's not been a teaser
Only been a pleaser 'cause he knows he needs her

It's in your touch and every move
In the usual way that you choose
Shut up and kiss me

It's not what you say to me baby
It's what you do that makes me love you
Not what you say to me darlin'
It's what you do that makes me love you

Not what you say to me darlin'
It's what you do

Deep green shannon
With the saddest glow
Eyes fixed on me, as she turns to go
Forever burned forever carved into my soul
Try to hold on, no it's no use, I know
She's gonna leave, she's gonna take one last look at me
Then I'll be watching love go sailing
Feeling my tears come tumbling down my face
Cause I can't face the letting go
So my soul returns to searching, all the colors now are faded
Watching the world falling apart
It's breaking my heart
There's a black tide turning again
And I'm a drowning man
She's seen me fall
She's seen the weakest part of me
So many lonely days she was my only company
I've come to see the world through those deep green eyes
Looking at me now, holding the secrets to my life
She's gonna leave me, she's gonna turn the tide on me
Then I'll be watching love go sailing
Feeling my tears come tumbling down my face
I can't face the letting go
So my soul returns to searching, all the colors now are faded
Watching the world falling apart
Breaking my heart
There's a black tide turning again
I'm a drowning man
Black tide turning
Waves crashing down
I'm slowly learning, slowly coming round
See I can't change it, what's gonna be, is gonna be
Can't stop her leaving
Can't fight the raging sea
The black tides turning again
I'm a drowning man
