the cottage sessions

no idea

do you know can you know this love i hold here would you like to give it a try it might be too much for you cause you have no idea what it's like this dream come true and you have no idea what it's like to be in love with you do you know you couldn't know how scared i've been that you're the one i've never believed in one barely believed in myself then you come around with your words and your silly smile and you make it so easy to be happy just for a little while do you know i hope you'll know the good the bad the wish it wasn't so's cause i'm still me and you're still you here and i don't wanna run and hide and so you can have it all take this love and take my heart and you and me could be the kind of love that would never ever come apart even so you'll never know just how glad i am this dream come true no you'll never know what it's like to be in love with you

 

going places

he said i'm going places without you and i didn't bother to hear the rest chalk it up to bad timing and rewinding sometimes two ain't stronger than one well i'm not gonna wait forever for you to figure out if you wanna live without me no cause i'm not gonna miss you forever even though i miss you still i still miss us but sometimes that ain't enough and sometimes love just ain't enough he said i'm going places you can't follow but i already had one foot out the door toss it up to a reason and believing the only one to trust is gone well i'm not gonna wait forever for you to figure out if you wanna live without me no cause i'm not gonna love you forever even though i love you still i still miss us but sometimes that ain't enough and sometimes love just ain't enough love just ain't enough he said i'm going places without you and i didn't bother to hear the

 

miracle pill

what i wouldn't give i'd wish upon the brightest star for you to see through my eyes just how beautiful you are one day you are your own best friend the next you're out to get yourself if only you could give it back the love you're giving everyone else well i don't know if you will find the missing piece to fill the void that's always lurking in the dark better yet if you must you might have to learn to trust the lonely little girl inside your heart i'll be waiting for you on the other side of that hill i'll be praying for you that love will be your miracle pill late at night you wait for the monsters in your head it's like watching the same old show with just no way for you to skip ahead now what have they got you on it seems it's changing every day you're not some machine to be fixed you're only human with an o.d. of pain and all i want is to step in save you from yourself and then i'll show you you still have a fighting chance and all you want is to be well have a happy ending swell but you're not living in a fairyland and i know you understand what i wouldn't give i'd swim across the widest sea for you to see through my eyes just how beautiful you'll be

 

over you

you were a scared little boy pretending to be a man desperate for love then it was catch me if you can afraid of your own skin so you tried to wear mine but i was always shoving you out trying to convince you yours was fine i was worth so much more than you gave but how do you rescue someone who doesn't want to be saved now that you got what you wanted is it really what you wanted cause you gotta live with the decision that you made love might not last forever but it sure can last a lifetime and be the one beautiful thing that doesn't fade and it's taken some time but i'm glad to say it's true i'm finally getting over you things were never smooth yeah mostly they were rough cause no matter what i did it was never good enough we were worth so much more than you gave but now and then there's a love that's not worth the save so sick of all your games when the fighting's all the same tell me what's the point in staying cause there's nothing you can do when the black has all turned blue we were worth so much more than you gave and now i'm glad i have the chance to say now that you got what you wanted it's not really what you wanted but you gotta live with the decision that you made love might not last forever but it sure can last a lifetime and be the one beautiful thing that doesn't fade and it's taken some time but i'm glad to say it's true i've finally gotten over you

 

the best part

you know you're always on my mind seems you're everywhere i go well some things only come with time and i only hope you know how much i'm falling i couldn't see it from the start i was blinded by the glow of our shy but opening hearts and love i was too afraid to show you well i can't stay quiet anymore cause i'm falling in love and that's the only i'm sure of well i think i'm afraid and that you might be too but love without risk just ain't something you do so here's my hand and here's my heart and what's hiding in between them is the best part lately it's hard to get to sleep without wondering where you are cause inside my mind i keep replaying the last time i held you in my arms sometimes i just don't know what to do seems the words don't come out right to let you in on the truth how i'm still fighting this will all my might well i won't keep fighting anymore cause i'm falling in love and that's the only i'm sure of well i know i'm afraid and that you might be too but love without risk just ain't something you do so here's my hand and here's my heart and what's hiding in between them is the best part and when it's quiet in the dark i like to listen to you breathe and the sound of our beating hearts i've got everything here that i need well i won't keep my distance anymore cause i'm falling in love and that's the only i'm sure of well i know i'm afraid and i hope you are too cause love without risk just ain't something you do so here's my hand and here's my heart and what's hiding in between them is the best part 

 

home

if i was to find out that you never told me a tatter of truth oh well would i then say hey well you know i never really meant it myself if i was to forget that you said it'd take a miracle to let yourself love would i then stop listening to the damning voices up inside of my head well i'm not gonna be the one who's kicking down a broken wall i'm not gonna be the one left crying no i will search and find and lose and find again and love and hold then i'll make my way back home if i was to turn my back to the times you told me something but never looked me straight in the eye maybe i could go on with life hold my head up be the first smile that you see in a room cause home to you is not home to me 

 

dial tone

what did you mean when you said your winter's a little warm and what did you mean when you said you might not be coming round here anymore and was it something i said was it something i did or didn't do well i'm getting sick of waking up without you what did you mean when you said no one's ever touched you like that and what did you mean when you said that no one will ever probably touch you again was it something i said was it something i did or didn't do it wasn't me no it wasn't me running away this time babe it was all you so now what do i do do i let go of you well i'm not ready for that i'm not ready to be alone so i'll just sit here listening to this dial tone what did you mean when you said that grass is only as green as you make it and what did you mean when you said you've always wanted a garden of your own maybe it was something you said maybe it was something you did or didn't do that my foolish sleeping heart must've listened to then i won't feel so alone cause the operator will soon come on and she'll say sir what's wrong and i'll say a lot of things too much to say what did you mean when you said you know that i'll get by somehow and what did you mean when you said it's only goodbye for now

 

catch

could i be falling for you so soon my heart's been frozen on the moon should i be missing you this much aching for your touch the way lungs ache for air well i'm not gonna run away but i'm not gonna run to you made that mistake before and it's been tried and true so if you wanna run away the least you can do is let me run away with you cause babe it's only you and now i'm falling falling down are you gonna catch me before i hit the ground cause i ain't slowing down and there's no one else around so are you gonna be the one who makes this lost heart found you in the dark you lit up like a spark there in the nighttime sky so i went looking far and wide for you didn't have a clue of who or what i'd find but when i took you in my arms and i held you close it was then i knew i'd be the one to love you most and you came back with what ifs and i brushed them all away and said what if you were in these arms to stay they say love comes when you least expect it when you're about ready to reject it that's when it will come well my eyes were closed afraid of getting hurt but when i opened them there you were and so i'm gonna stay with you if you'll stay with me and we'll have the kind of love they speak of for centuries 

 

favourite

it was good to see you again you're looking thin guess you always were you were always trying to hide from the truth in my eye when i walked away i kept a part of you inside a part of me a part that just won't die no matter how hard we try and you're tired of pretending that you don't care you're happy to see a smile back on my face sad it wasn't you who put it there and though i hate to admit it don't change what is true that i'm still in love with you i'd still love to be sleeping next to you it was strange to see you with him your hand in his where mine should've been should've been with yours when things are gone we just want them more and i'm tired of pretending that i don't care i'm happy to see a smile back on your face sad it wasn't me who put it there and though i hate to admit it don't change what is true that i'm still in love with you i'd still love to be sleeping next to you you said i was your favourite as if i were a flavour it's time to say goodbye i'll try not to cry but i'm bad at goodbyes i don't wanna say goodbye there's too much love inside your eyes so i'll just close mine 

 

more than you can say

lost another love if i ever really had it probably ended long ago seems i'm always the last to know but i'm doing fine gonna make it on my own there's a difference between lonely and being all alone but i wish that you had taken the time to see how quickly you gave up on you and me but now i'm gonna take this pain turn it into joy sun from the rain and i'm gonna be okay i got friends that know me and that's more than most can say well we tried to tow the line but tripped on our own feet guess it's always in the making when you concede defeat so we do the best we can and when it's not good enough there's no use in getting angry no points for being tough but i wish that we had had a better run but love's no bargain cause when it's done it's done and i'm gonna take this pain turn it into joy sun from the rain and i'm gonna be okay i got friends that love me and that's more than most can say so good luck with your life hope it all works out cause even when i'm lonely i'll still be better without you so now i'm gonna take this pain turn it into joy sun from the rain and i'm gonna be okay i got friends that know me and friends that love me and friends to help me make it through the day and that's more than you can say

 

it's hard to love you

it's hard to love you cause i know i'll leave you and it's hard to smile when i don't feel like smiling at all and it's hard to tell you when i don't know what to tell you and it's also hard to say nothing at all lately i've been on too many planes too many trains forgotten too many names of ones i've loved but through it all i've learned this there's a whole lotta power in one single kiss so don't go around just kissing anyone no it's hard to find out when you love someone that they're not the one you wanted them to be and it's hard to listen to your voice inside when it just won't make up its mind and every morning's a different tune lately i've broken too many hearts torn people apart now i've lost my home but through it all i know now that home's not a place not the bed or the couch but who's lying there it's hard to say goodbye when you feel the need to cry and no matter how hard you try nothing seems to come and it's hard to look at you with your waiting eye when you already know my reply i'm just not cut out for this lately i've been counting the stars wondering where you are no matter how far i'll still say i don't care and through it all i guess it's true no matter how fast you run love will catch up to you and then you'll know what to do

 

don't stop

don't stop breathing don't stop seeing me don't stop believing don't stop breathing

 

stay

G-d please hear my prayer tonight that come the morning light all will be restored G-d let Your light shine the way through each and every day be the Essence and the Core cause only You have the power to heal our wounds only You know when's too soon these are the lessons of our days and only You pick the frail up from the fall yet You somehow catch us fall no matter come what may You always stay G-d there's so much i don't understand so far from the promised land am i living all Your glory G-d there's so much i'd like to know so much i hope You'll show Creator of my story cause only You have the power to heal our wounds only You know when's too soon these are the blessings of our days and only You pick the frail up from the fall yet You somehow catch us fall no matter come what may You always stay my Rock and my Redeemer won't You help this wakeful dreamer and give hope to those who stray from Your love which always stays so G-d please hear my prayer tonight that come the morning light all will be restored
