Melanie C Album

I’m looking at the floor
I’m looking anywhere to try to put my head into a different place
I’m stopping it before
Before I think about the promise to myself
That I’m about to break

Fall into daydreams inside these walls
I must be out of my mind

'Cause I don’t even know you
But all I do is think about your face
And I don’t wanna call you
But I wish I had your number just in case
And I never thought someone could shake me like you can
Some things weren’t designed to understand

I hope you didn’t see
I hope you didn’t notice if you did I hope you looked away
I’ll keep it all to me, I’ll keep on running
'Cause it’s only when I’m running that I feel safe
As I fall I must be out of my mind

'Cause I don’t even know you
But all I do is think about your face
And I don’t wanna call you
But I wish I had your number just in case
And I never thought someone could shake me like you can
Some things weren’t designed to understand

TV shows and cars that won’t slow down
I should be looking for a chance but don’t know how
Disillusion never let me down
Don’t lose it now, don’t lose it

I don’t even know you
But all I do is think about your face
And I don’t wanna call you
But I wish I had your number just in case
And I never thought someone could shake me like you can
Some things weren’t designed to understand

Calling all my senses
I can’t see or taste or feel you anymore
And every day I’m calling on my inner strength
To fight for something once worth fighting for

Maybe it’s life in the real world
Maybe it’s all been my fault

What if I go, what if I leave
What if I show you how you’re breaking me
And I know, whatever I say
I’ll still be thinking what if I stay

Staring at the stars I make a wish
That I could travel back in time
I lie awake just looking at your face
And I remember how you used to look at mine

Maybe it’s life in the real world
Maybe it’s all been your fault

What if I go, what if I leave
What if I show you how you’re breaking me
And I know, whatever I say
I’ll still be thinking what if I stay

Do you spend your life hiding in the shadows
Terrified of letting down your guard
Do you fantasize of glorious tomorrows
Come alive you're perfect as you are

Careless lies
Will hurt you no more

Till the angels cry
And the music dies
You and I will be protected
Till this earth burns out
And stops turning round
I will keep u protected
We're protected

Walkaway from those who bring you sorrow
take a chance i know you still believe
Letting go of everything you can't control
Open up the life you long to lead

precious heart, unlock the door

'till the angels cry
and the music dies
you and i will be protected
'till this earth burns out
And stops turning round
I will keep you protected

Every moment you're reflected
By a light so divine
From the darkness we're protected
With the truth in our hearts
We can shine

'Till the angels cry
And the music dies
You and i will be protected
'till this earth burns out
And stops turning round
I will keep you protected

'till the angels cry (i'll always love you)
and the music dies
you and i will be protected (i'll always love you)
'till this earth burns out
and stops turning round (i'll always love you)
i will keep u protected

In this life we're protected

I’ve been practicing all day
Now the words I meant to say are gone
I promised that I wouldn’t cry
Told myself I had to try and hold on

The truth I lied, I hate myself inside
And why I played the game and paid the price

I never look back, I never cry
Never try to wonder why
I’ll be on my own and never doubt
Never shout or wonder how
I’ll never be lonely until this time, this time, this time
This time I will

I’ve been wide awake all night
There’s no sign of sleep inside my mind
The headlight shadows scan my wall
I convince myself you’ll call in time

The truth I lied, the girl in me has died
And why I played the game and paid the price

I never look back, I never cry
Never try to wonder why
I’ll be on my own and never doubt
Never shout or wonder how
I’ll never be lonely until this time, this time, this time
This time I will

This time I will be yours completely
This time I’ll make sure you don’t hate me
This time I know, this time I can
And this time I will

I never look back, I never cry
Never try to wonder why
I’ll be on my own and never doubt
Never shout or wonder how
I’ll never be lonely until this time, this time, this time
This time I will

I’ve been practicing all day
Now the words I meant to say are gone...

Just another girl with a dream in her heart
Wanna make a new start with a fire inside of her
She had to go
She couldn't stay around, everybody let her down
Stole the light and the life and the child inside of her
She's so alone

Running for her train
Take her far away from everything she knows
And the way they make her feel
She leaves today
Never look back never lose track already strong
She's seen too much of seventeen
The past will fade with the future that she craves

Carolyna you travel so far
Tring to escape the pain, start again where you are
Carolyna you keep following your star
Nobody said you're beautiful, you're beautiful the way you are

Finaly you're free where you long to be
But it won't take long till hits reality
The streets are cold
Big, bad city gonnna eat you up
Hard to survive, hard to keep your sanity
Still feeling low
But she's never going home

Carolyna you travel so far
Tring to escape the pain, start again where you are
Carolyna you keep following your star
Nobody said you're beautiful, you're beautiful the way you are

She tries to rest
All she needs is a warm caress
All she wants is happiness

Carolyna you travel so far
Tring to escape the pain, start again where you are
Carolyna you keep following your star
Nobody said you're beautiful, you're beautiful the way you are
So beautiful the way you are
So beautiful the way you are..

Sometimes I try, sometimes I don’t
Sometimes the way I feel inside is gonna show
You know we’re all the same
I know you’re tired, you try to talk
But you think I don’t hear you anymore
Here it comes again
But sometimes you just take it too far

You can shoot me down and call me names
Scream until the neighbours all complain
I know you’ll tell your friends it’s all my fault
And I will take the blame
But give me back forever again

Sometimes you try sometimes you don’t
Sometimes the way you feel inside is gonna show
But some things never change
So walk away and count to ten
Say how you feel, don’t say that again
We’ll find another way
‘Cause you don’t have to take it so far

You can shoot me down and call me names
Scream until the neighbours all complain
And I know you’ll tell your friends it’s all my fault
And I will take the blame
But give me back forever again

If feels like I’m breathing under water
It feels like I’m watching my whole world crash
And you can say you don’t know if you love me
But never that you never have

You can shoot me down and call me names
Scream until the neighbors all complain
I know you’ll tell your friends it’s all my fault
And I will take the blame
Just give me back forever again

I should concentrate on slowing down
'Cause all I wanna do is drive fast
I don’t think I know my way around
I’m seeing what I’ve already passed
I’ve been racing through my life without
Really knowing where I fit in
It’s only dreams and my reflection now
Where I still see him

I might break
I’m all that’s left from your mistake
I’m still trying to prove myself to you
I can’t escape from this as fast as you

All these years don’t fade away my feelings
I only see us leaving, oh-oh

I convince myself I understand
So there isn’t anybody to blame
If you'd tried and played a different hand
I wonder if I’d still be the same
All this time I’ve watched you moving on
Running from the way that we were
Even though I know that girl is gone
You still see her

I might break
I’m all that’s left from your mistake
I’m still trying to prove myself to you
I can’t escape from this as fast as you

All these years don’t fade away my feelings
I only see us leaving, oh-oh

I’m not frozen, I just feel the cold
When all these memories open up again

I might break
I’m all that’s left from your mistake
I’m still trying to prove myself to you
I can’t escape from this as fast as you
You see him gone

I only see us leaving, oh-oh
See us leaving, oh-oh
I only see us leaving, see us leaving
See us leaving, oh-oh...

Time to face what you are hiding from
Don’t have to do this on your own
Together we are strong
We don’t need anyone
No matter what they say, the time has come

I’m ready now to start a new beginning
With all our hopes and all our dreams
And I know the stars will shine for you and for me
From the moment you believe

I know they think that I’m no good for you
But we both know that they’re wrong
Together we can fight, show everyone we’re right
I don’t care what they say, our time has come

I’m ready now to start a new beginning
With all our hopes and all our dreams
And I know the stars will shine for you and for me
From the moment you believe

When you believe there’s nothing you can’t overcome
When you believe the earth is brighter than the sun
I believe
When you believe there's nothing you can't overcome
I believe

I’m ready now to start a new beginning
With all our hopes and all our dreams
And I know the stars will shine for you and for me
From the moment you believe

There's times when fake goodbyes made you cry
But this time you don't
And I was only joking I was broken when you told me to go
Don't make up the wrong mind
Don't forget the good times
Let me stay a little longer cause if I'm gone-
I can't make it right
In just one night we could go back in time maybe
Go back and find where we both went wrong
It won't take long I know
Don't let me go
Oh don't let me go
I'm not giving up I'm still in love, is all I need you to say
And I don't need an answer just a chanceto
Make the pain go away
So don't make up the wrong mind
Don't forget the good times
Let me stay a little longer cause if I'm gone-
I can't make it right...
I beg you to find what it takes to forgive meof
All my mistakes
Cause if I walk out of your life
There'll be no way back this time
Don't let me go
Don't make up the wrong mind
Don't forget the good times
Stay a little longer cause if I'm gone-
I can't make it right
In just one night we could go back in time maybe
Go back and find where we both went wrong
It won't take long I know
Don't let me go
Oh don't let me go.

If you see me and I look away
Please don’t ask me
There’s nothing to say about the way that I feel
It’s hard to conceal when it’s in my eyes

If I tell you that I’m doing fine
Please believe me, it may be a lie
But I’ve got to move on, I’ve got to be strong
Now what else can I do

'Cause I’ve been wanting, waiting, hoping, praying
Oh I feel like I’m suffocating
There’s nothing left to lose

If all that I have is the sweetest denial
If all I can give is the rest of my life
Then I’m over pretending that I can survive without you
Thought I was stronger than love
But I guess that nobody’s immune

There’s a poison that runs through my veins
When I’m sleeping
And just like a secret that I try to keep
I buried too deep, like the memories of you

But I’m still here wanting, waiting, hoping, praying
Oh I feel like I’m suffocating
There’s nothing left to lose

If all that I have is the sweetest denial
If all I can give is the rest of my life
Then I’m over pretending that I can survive without you
Thought I was stronger than love
But I guess that nobody’s immune

May your heart be never alone
When the dawn’s breaking
May your life be a rolling stone
When the ground starts shaking

And the world is waking
All I can tell you is to know who you are
And if they hurt you they can never do you harm
And if you want to, you can love them
Till the cold turns warm

May your kiss always feel like the first kisses
And may your truth help you heal
May you catch big fishes and get all your wishes

All I can tell you is to know who you are
And if they hurt you they can never do you harm
And if you want to, you can love them
Till the cold turns warm

If you want me, I will be there
If you need me, I will be there
If you want me, I will be there
Can you hear me?

If you’re waiting, I will be there
Your heart’s aching, I will be there
If you need me, I will be there
Can you hear me?

And when you’re lonely, I will be there
When you call me, I will be there
If you need me, I will be there
Believe me, I’m going nowhere
May your heart be never alone

What if this is nearly over?
Everything coming to an end
As I see fading colours
Finding it harder to pretend
No one can take away the days that we conquered
They hang like shadows in my mind
Everything I thought
Everything I felt
Thank God that's over
Reading the signs
We're out of time

There is always a new story
Another player in the game
Can I rise to a new glory?
Or will these demons keep me chained?
Sometimes fear consumes my every emotion
So I'm drifting with the tide
Everything I am
Everything I did
With total devotion
Reading the signs
We're out of time

The sun will still rise
Maybe shine a little bit brighter
No matter what they say
We can reach a little bit higher
Shake away the chains
We can do this together
I know with you by my side
We'll be alright
The sun is gonna rise...
Alright alright
We'll be alright
Alright alright
We'll be alright
Alright.

I know a girl who's tough but sweet
She's so fine, she can't be beat
Got everything that I desire
Sets the summer sun on fire

I want Candy, I want Candy

Go to see her when the sun is down
Ain't no finer girl in town
Candy's just what the doctor ordered
She?s so sweet, she makes my mouth water

I want Candy, I want Candy

Ohhh, I want Candy, Ohhh
Hey
I want Candy, Candy, I want Candy

Her hair hang down
Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey

Candy on the beach, there's nothing better
But I like Candy when it's wrapped in a sweater
Some day soon I'll make you mine,
Then I'll have Candy all the time

I want Candy, I want Candy
I want Candy, I want Candy

Yehh
Ohh
Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey - I want Candy
Ohh, yeehh
Ohh, yeehh - Want Candy
I want Candy
