Say Something

In this time and this place,
You persevere with every day,
With the world at your feet,
Your freedom makes for sweet defeat.
If you can't see the way that we have been betrayed.
There's nothing to be done about this disarray.
When it's hard to be who you are,
Say what you want; say something to me,
We're out on our feet,
You're afraid of the choices you make,
Just don't hesitate; say something to me.
We're down on our knees.
Say something to me.
All the pain that you faced,
Everything falls into place,
You have dreams but it seems,
They all get thrown back in your face.
If you can't see that people can just be the same,
The time it takes to break vows they made in our name.
When it's hard to be who you are,
Say what you want; say something to me,
We're out on our feet,
You're afraid of the choices you make,
Just don't hesitate; say something to me.
We're down on our knees.
Say something to me.

Please Stay

Seems you've been there for all of time,
In the middle of all the fights,
And though you always try to hide,
A silent man with silent pride.
We know you know how things should be,
You know you bring us to our knees.
Please stay; there's so much more we have to say.
You work so hard through all the night,
And hide the pain you keep inside,
Please don't walk towards the light,
You've patched up houses and fixed up lives.
Don't let your colours fade away,
Just stay with us for one more day.
Please stay; there's so much more we have to say.

The summer never ends with family and friends,
Together every day.
And every bloody time you pushed me down the slide,
I never ran away.
Don't stay out past dark, not even in the park,
We were good as gold.
But when we heard the call, the loudest call of all,
We did as we were told.
We went home.
Now winters drawing near and all the leaves have disappeared,
And every one has gone.
There's nothing left to say and no more games to play,
Now where do we belong?
The nights are cold and dark, there's no one in the park,
They wouldn't be so bold.
And now there is no call, no one to call at all,
How did we get so old?
We went home.
And for all you put us through.
They should try walking in your shoes.
How could it be so hard?
And before you f*cking start,
You broke my broken heart,
Now what am I going to do?
I'll go home.
I'll go home.
I'll go home.
Alone.

By My Side

You came into my life,
Now everything we do turns out alright.
I've been through pain and survived.
Feels good to know that you are by my side.
And as each day turns into night,
We watch the sun go down just you and I,
In every way and every time,
Feels good to say that you'll always be mine.
I'll show I care,
You know that I'll be there,
And as time goes and as we grow,
You know, y'know?
Somethings changed inside,
And I will be with you for all my life.
