1.	You Are My Life 02:54	lyrics	buy track
I didn’t have a lot I had everything or so I thought ’Til you came and found me I didn’t know just what you meant When you said that this was love That’s when I came to realise I couldn’t live a day without you by my side Oh.. You are my life You are my life Oh you are my life And I’m so glad that I met you. I’ve never been so sure Thought I’d loved a hundred times or more ’Til you came along and swept me off my feet I didn’t know just what you meant When you said that this was love (this was love) That’s when I came to realise (realise) I couldn’t live a day without you by my side Oh.. You are my life You are my life (you’re the best thing baby) Oh you are my life And I’m so glad that I met you. Oooh… I have loved and lost before And I swore to myself I wouldn’t hurt anymore You were the one that made me see If I trust in myself and let you love me You are my life You are my life Oh you are my life And I’m so glad that I met you. Yes I’m so glad that I met you. Yes I’m so glad that I met you.
2.	Ain't No Doubt About It 02:57	lyrics	buy track
Ain’t no doubt about it Ain’t no doubt it’s true Ain’t no doubt about it Baby, I’m crazy about you. I’ve got this feeling One I’ve never felt before And it’s kind of frightening But it leaves me wanting more Don’t you worry cause there… Ain’t no doubt about it Ain’t no doubt it’s true Ain’t no doubt about it Baby, I’m crazy about you. It’s taken me too long To open up my heart I’ve been bruised and broken before I was wary from the start But there was something about you I began to see I can’t deny just how much you mean to me Don’t you worry cause there… Ain’t no doubt about it Ain’t no doubt it’s true Ain’t no doubt about it Baby, I’m crazy… You came along and you saved me Oh, I’m crazy When it comes to you. Oooh…You came along at the right time Oooh…And you made me love you. Don’t you worry cause there… Ain’t no doubt about it Ain’t no doubt it’s true Ain’t no doubt about it Baby, I’m crazy about you. Don’t you worry cause there… Ain’t no doubt about it, no there ain’t Ain’t no doubt it’s true Ain’t no doubt about it Baby, I’m crazy about you. (I’m crazy about my baby) Don’t you worry cause there… Ain’t no doubt about it, no there ain’t (I’m crazy, I’m crazy) Ain’t no doubt it’s true (I’m crazy about my baby) Ain’t no doubt about it (I’m crazy, I’m crazy) Baby, I’m crazy about you. (I’m crazy about my baby)
3.	Carageen 04:52	lyrics	buy track
I hear voices in the wind All encompassing under the skin Stop breathing ’til you’ve lived Still grieving against my will. Cry and let your tears fall The ocean’s waiting for your call. I feel shivers down my spine Some kind of torture, yet sublime When I’m wary, whisper in my ear Say it’s alright, that you’re always here. Cry and let your tears fall The ocean’s waiting for your call. I’m caught up in the carageen Doesn’t matter why or where I’ve been A sweet surrender, like I’ve been here before. I’m washed up, I’m a failure The sea is pulling me, pulling me under But there’s a tide that drags me to shore. I see horses as they come crashing in I couldn’t break them, so I let them win A final sigh, rolling beneath the waves Across the shoreline How much more can I take? Cry and let your tears fall The ocean’s waiting for your call. I’m caught up in the carageen Doesn’t matter why or where I’ve been A sweet surrender, like I’ve been here before. I’m washed up, I’m a failure The sea is pulling me, pulling me under But there’s a tide that drags me to shore. I hear voices in the wind All encompassing under the skin Stop breathing ’til you’ve lived Still grieving against my will. Cry and let your tears fall The ocean’s waiting for your call. Oh…
4.	A Whole Lot Of Loving 02:40	lyrics	buy track
I don’t believe a word that you say, cause you’re lying again baby I’m fed up of tears and I’m sure that I’m tired of trying Oh, lately… I’ve done nothing else but love you dear And I’ve made up my mind so let me be clear I’ve got a whole lot of loving, baby (a whole lot of loving) I’ve got a whole lot of love to give But if you don’t believe that your love’s just for me Then I’ll go and love someone else. I can’t deny that you stole my heart completely Oh, you changed me But I’m worth much more than the love that you just couldn’t give me Listen baby… I’ve done nothing else but love you dear And I’ve made up my mind so let me be clear I’ve got a whole lot of loving, baby (a whole lot of loving) I’ve got a whole lot of love to give But if you don’t believe that your love’s just for me Then I’ll go and love someone else. I won’t be taken for granted I’d rather be alone than suffer a fool I know that everything I did (everything I did) Would never be enough for you. I’ve got a whole lot of loving, baby (a whole lot of loving) I’ve got a whole lot of love to give But if you don’t believe that your love’s just for me See I’m not afraid to get up and leave Cause you’re just a fool, you can’t walk over me Cause I’ll go and love someone else. Oh I’ll go and love someone else. Oh I’ll go and love someone else.
5.	Curse The Day 04:37	lyrics	buy track
You drifted in like a lazy breeze Swept me into your arms Promised you’d never leave. Sweet is the flower that grows through the weeds And I was blindsided ’Til you stung like a bee. You are the shadow that hangs over me, ooh… Curse the day that I met you (ooh curse the day) Thunder and lightening And now the sun shines through (ooh curse the day) Won’t you go back where you belong I curse the day that you were born Oh, oh, oh… Oh, oh, oh… You sailed right in Had me lost in a dream And I had no doubts In you I believed You were the songbird that sang me to sleep But now just a nightmare Left on repeat You are the shadow that hangs over me, You are the shadow that hangs over me, ooh… Curse the day that I met you (ooh curse the day) Thunder and lightening And now the sun shines through (ooh curse the day) Won’t you go back where you belong I curse the day that you were born Oh, oh, oh… Oh, oh, oh… Misery loves company Pray for rain to set me free Misery loves company Pray for rain to set me free Misery loves company Pray for rain to set me free Misery loves company Pray for rain to set me free Curse the day that I met you (ooh curse the day) Thunder and lightening And now the sun shines through (ooh curse the day) Won’t you go back where you belong I curse the day that you were born Oh, oh, oh… Oh, oh, oh… Oh, oh, oh… Oh, oh, oh… Misery loves company Pray for rain to set me free Misery loves company Pray for rain to set me free Misery loves company Pray for rain to set me free Misery loves company Pray for rain to set me free Misery loves company Pray for rain to set me free Misery loves company Pray for rain to set me free
6.	Kiss These Tears Away 03:31	lyrics	buy track
It’s been too long since I saw love in your eyes And I was too blind but I should’ve seen the signs But I can’t stop wanting you and I can’t stop loving you So won’t you come back and kiss these tears away? Oh, never have I lost Oh, someone as dear to me Oh, never ’til that very day Won’t you come back, kiss these tears away? I watched you leave when you didn’t want to stay There’s nothing left to do as you threw our love away But I can’t stop wanting you and I can’t stop loving you So won’t you come back and kiss these tears away? Oh, never have I lost (never, have I lost) Oh, someone as dear to me (dear to me) Oh, never ’til that very day (never, ahh…) Won’t you come back, kiss these tears away? (Ahh…) Maybe one day I’ll find somebody new A love that I have longed for since the day that I lost you But I won’t stop wanting you and I’ll always keep on loving you ’Til someone else comes to kiss these tears away Why won’t you come back and kiss these tears away?
7.	The Answer 04:25	lyrics	buy track
I can put down the bottle if I have to Sleep it off ’til the sun begins to rise But the feeling of being empty Don’t appeal that much to me tonight I just need a little drop to take the edge off A taste of something so as not to feel But this hollow aching in my chest now Needs numbing and I don’t want to fight the tears Cause I don’t feel alone when I am being lonely I just feel alone when I am by your side (by your side) And I know, I know, it’ll never be the answer Please just let me have this one just for tonight I always seem to make the wrong decisions And hiding it by passing on the blame (passing on the blame) Vulnerable and tired of misunderstandings Lost and angry, crying out your name Cause I don’t feel alone when I am being lonely I just feel alone when I am by your side (by your side) And I know, I know, it’ll never be the answer Please just let me have this one just for tonight For tonight… Just one drink for tonight. As I’m broken and the bottles almost empty And I realise the pain never subsides I don’t need you but I have no fight left in me One more night of telling myself lies. Cause I don’t feel alone when I am being lonely I just feel alone when I am by your side (by your side) And I know, I know, it’ll never be the answer Please just let me have this one just for tonight Please just let me have this one just for tonight Please just let me have this one just for tonight
8.	Saving Grace 03:16	lyrics	buy track
Heaven knows we’d find our way From the first day that we met Couldn’t wait to take your name In a blue and velvet dress Years go by not a thing has changed But the story tales on your face Side by side we have made mistakes But I’d do it all over again Sit and watch the flowers bloom Your favourite thing to do Nobody can take away These memories of you Years go by not a thing has changed But the story tales on your face Side by side we have made mistakes But I’d do it over again Paradise may come and go Never to replace Just as sure as the river flows You were always my saving grace You were always my saving grace. Even through the longest nights I no longer feel alone As the moon is rising high The heavens will take us home The heavens will take us home.
9.	Hanging By A String 04:03	lyrics	buy track
It’s been a while since I’ve seen your face around here I’ve been waiting in hopes that you’d one day appear Well I’d be lying if I said, I hadn’t thought about you When I close my eyes you are all I see… I can’t keep hanging by a string If you don’t want me, go ahead and leave me Cause I can’t be the one you need I can’t take it, my heart is breaking Oh, if you can’t decide then I’ll make up your mind for you Cause I can’t keep hanging by a string. Well I had this dream that we would end up together But lately I find I’ve been wasting my time and it hurts me Well I’d be lying if I said, I hadn’t thought about you When I close my eyes you are all I see… I can’t keep hanging by a string If you don’t want me, go ahead and leave me Cause I can’t be the one you need I can’t take it, my heart is breaking Oh, if you can’t decide then I’ll make up your mind for you Oh, keep hanging on There’s only one heartbreak I can take Oh…This pain in my heart Is all I can take. Can’t keep me hanging by a string (by a string, oh) If you don’t want me, go ahead and leave me (leave me) Cause I can’t be the one you need (the one you need, oh…) I can’t take it, my heart is breaking Oh, if you can’t decide then I’ll make up your mind I’m not afraid No longer can I wait Oh, I’ll find my way This has nothing to do with my pride Then I’ll have to say goodbye… Cause I can’t keep hanging by a string…

So don’t go telling me that it’s over Over, baby, over Over, baby, over Don’t you go telling those lies, lies lies… It was so easy to fall in love with you It took only one look and I knew that I just had to have you But it was so hard to let me love you You built up these walls that I just couldn’t seem to break through So don’t go telling me that it’s over Over, baby, over Over, baby, over Don’t you go telling those lies, lies lies… So don’t go telling me that it’s over Over, baby, over Over, baby, over Don’t you go telling those lies, lies lies… If there was another, well I’d try and understand But I know the truth is you’re just scared to love again So don’t go telling me that it’s over Over, baby, over Over, baby, over Don’t you go telling those lies, lies lies… Love me or leave me, that’s up to you You just need to trust me cause no one will love you like I do So don’t go telling me that it’s over Over, baby, over Over, baby, over Don’t you go telling those lies, lies lies… So don’t go telling me that it’s over Over, baby, over Over, baby, over Don’t you go telling those lies.
11.	This House 02:43	lyrics	buy track
There’s a house that has me climbing the walls It’s so dark, I can’t find my way out This house is under my skin But the only way out is in In this house I’m a caged little bird Where my voice will never be heard These walls are paper thin But the only way out is in Oh, I don’t wanna know You can’t run from what’s within Oh…take a long hard look at yourself Cause the only way out is in. In this house I just can’t seem to breathe There’s a weight that’s got a hold on me And I feel that I’ll never leave Cause the only way out is in There’s a house that has me climbing the walls It’s so dark, I can’t find my way out This house is under my skin But the only way out The only way out The only way out is in

It’s never easy when it comes to you You were a good man and always true But something’s changed, what am I to do When you’ve been messing ‘round? Now I’m your fool So don’t you take me for granted It’s time to choose… Cause you’re gonna miss me when I’m gone You’re gonna miss me when I’m gone When I’m gone No I won’t be second best, I won’t be pushed aside I’d do anything for your love and God knows I try But there’s only so much that I can do When you’ve been messing ‘round Now I’m your fool So don’t you take me for granted It’s time to choose… Cause you’re gonna miss me when I’m gone You’re gonna miss me when I’m gone Don’t you try to tell me that I am wrong Cause you’re gonna miss me when I’m gone When I’m gone When I’m gone Cause you’re gonna miss me when I’m gone You’re gonna miss me when I’m gone Don’t you try to tell me that I am wrong Cause you’re gonna miss me when I’m gone When I’m gone When I’m gone When I’m gone.
